Friend or foe

This topic is in reference to all those people out there who claim to have 5 and 6 best friends. I have often heard of such things, back in high school when the girl you are trying to get next to introduces you to 5 or 6 of her "BFF" thats best friend forever, for those who dont know. I have sat back and really started to analize what that means to have a friend. Im not talking about that person that you have known the longest, Im talking about that person that is almost like your bother or sister. I often get a lot of forwards describing what a friend is, so thats why I am writing this blog to somewhat outline what I think of a friend.
To me the true nature of a friend is someone that makes you a better person. These are some examples of the things that a friend would be willing to help you with.
advice, good or bad, it comes from their heart and it is given to make you feel the best you can or to let you know the truth.
encouragement, when others, including family members, seem to doubt your ability,
helping hand, when you are moving across the nation, picking out stuff, or just day to day activities.
back up, in case of altercations, dissagreements, etc
stability, someone that will not change when times get rough

Rating outline

Since I am seen by most of the people who know me well to be the most critical and opinionated person they know, I have decided to expeand that love for having an opinion, by sharing my thoughts with the world. If you havent noticed by now, I am big on telling others what I think, whether they want to hear it or not. Its just the way it is and the way it will always be. I think that like it or not people appreciate someone who will not go with the norm, and is confortable with going against the grain to elaborate, and depict a particular point of view. That just happens to be me. So with that, many of my up coming blogs on this page, will be focused on but not limited to,
Restaurants/ Bars
Clubs
Shopping
Travel Destinations
Clothing brands
Cars
Magazines
Political leaders
Jewelry
Women
Celebrities
Sports franchises
ETC

Each category will have their own rating system. For example, restaurants will be rated accord to the fork count, 5 forks being the best. I will break down the way in which to achieve 5 forks in later articles, so please stay tuned.
