bonfire of the manatees

After classes today I rode to MILO. I found Josh there and joined a cookout already in progress. That lasted several hours and was amusing and delicious. But the *REALLY* fun part was the discussion we had afterward in his apartment.

From around 11:30PM until 5AM he and I hashed through some of the toughest frank relationship issues I've ever encountered. Details ranging from ethics to sex, ego, spirituality, sex, mental health, lies, sex, revenge, and destiny. Oh, and sex. I learned more about Josh tonight than I have since we came to Columbus. It was truly amazing: I've never felt more like I had a brother in my life. I forget how much more he's been through than I have and how much I can learn from him. He can frustrate the hell out of me sometimes but these evenings remind me how worthwhile it still is.
