Its good to have them, right. So share storys about them.

When I was at the mental institution, I met this guy named Justin, who was actually sane like me, we were just suicidal, hes 33 though,ex con, but cool.When I told him I was transgender, he told me, "Souls have no gender, just a preference, and if your preference is not what your body is, then your situation becomes as this."Im still amazed by how amazin he is.

And when I got out, he got out next day, and I met up with him. He lives in Lone Star, which is a SUPER small town, and about 2 hours from Dallas. We walked to park and stuff, and when we left, he wanted to hold hands. The gender thing didnt bother him at all since, he said "2 souls have no gender", and even though hes heterosexual and everything it was cool. But...we were in a small conservative town.  :-\

So we got stared at like crazy, man alive it was tripeld. We looked like 2 men, hes white, im black, and then I look rather young so he kind of looked like a pedofile...all this at once, yet he didnt care. Every car stopped and was shouting racist/homophobic slurs at us, other people walking was sterin and shoutin s**t, but none of it mattered, and he and I were flickin off everyone we came into contact with, and we were both ready to fight.(which was fun too)( We did end up fightin, but it was each other which was really, really fun)

The whole experience was great.

AWESOME story.

I went with Tetanus to costco today... it happened to be sample hour and one of the presenters said, "come on over here, boys." to us. I couldn't eat what she was offering but MAN did hearing that feel good.

That's cool. I have another one, when I was standin in line to change my name on my drivers license after I got it changed in court, these little kids were playin with each other, and they were pointin to me and were like, "Whats his name". It was bad ass but then again I looked super bad ass that day, since I had just came from the couet house, I was wearin a bad ass suit. You know what, I like that word, bad ass.

I agree, I mean when you meet someone like him, your whole life, because your whole outlook, changes. Plus because he's an intellect, the philosophical discussions we have are great and insightful. I cant even talk to "friends" the same way because if I mention something relatively deep, they either start ignorin me or they try to change the conversation into something surface level. And thats when I get mad, f**k them, and leave.

Hmm...probably why I dont have many friends, but honestly, if theyre that suface level, Id rather not waste time with them, cause if all else fails, my guitar will always be my friend, and if I get tired of talkin to a particular guitar, Ill just buy a new one. See...You CAN buy friends...

But seriously, its all about balance.

Sounds great, Jack. It's amazing how helpful it can be to find just one person who is cool. I hope you find more friends like Justin.

Yeah, all it takes is one person to change another's life, and if he had died, I wonder that I may have never progressed, or if it would of taken longer, or if I would have still tried to commit suicide after failure. But ol dude gave me a will to live.

Probably because he is older and I am glad he gives you a will to live. Maybe you where ment to meet.

Like Arch said I hope you find other people like him.
