My Friend Sam - Speaking His Mind

So my friendship with Sam goes back many years...

And there is one thing that I love about Sam...Ironically it is the same thing that can drive me nuts...ha ha

He is probably one of the most quick witted people I know.

His mind can think so fast and say things so quick, he can put you in a corner before you even have a chance to open your mouth.

Most of the time, his comments make me laugh so much...

Below are just a sampling:

SCENE: Sam and I are in Starbucks, and a very attractive guy is sitting at a table. The guy looks up at me and smiles and nods. I tell Sam...

Sam: "Come on Matt - If he were really looking this way, he would have to be looking at me." Ha Ha

SCENE: Sam and I at the same starbucks that night ordering our drinks. The barista asks me if I would like a tea - asks if I would like herbal or black passion.

Sam: "Matt doesn't like anything BLACK or PASSIONATE!" - lol

SCENE: Sam and I are at the house with the tv on in the background. We are discussing how I do not like to go to the bars as much as he does. We are also discussing one of my friends who doesn't like going to bars either.

Sam" "I find that people who aren't attractive are usually the ones who don't like going to the bars."

In Sam's defense, he immediately said that he was not referring specifically to me in that last statement...ha ha

I love Sam for his quick wit - sure it can drive me insane but it also makes me laugh and smile...

Sam and I are very different - and we have agreed that if we met today we would not hang out in the same circles and probably not be friends....

I am certainly glad that the Lord had my path cross with Sam when it did. With almost 10 years of history, my life would certainly be less without his friendship.
