The Old-Fashion Way

I read over SunStar's Entertainment section about how John Cusack makes friends. He does it the old-fashioned way. I practically do the same thing. Bump into someone, say hi, talk over coffee, exchanging numbers, and the like. Although, I miss out on the talk-over-coffee thing. I don't have the pockets for this kind of stuff. lol

He said that talking to friends via email or text messaging makes him bored. He is not that entirely sure that the friend he is talking to is really the person he wanted to talk to. He was kidding, of course. I guess he is the type of person who really treasures people. He is there to mingle, to just have fun with the friends he knows... and sees.

Making friends over the internet is not that bad at all. It somehow widens the circle that we currently have. And it is somehow ironic. You have 500 friends on Facebook, 300 followers on Twitter, and 400 buddies on MySpace, but in reality, you have only around 100 real friends. Friends whom you can really talk to in times of fun and whom you can talk to less when you are in trouble. The irony!


But those are true friends. And that is what John Cusack wants in a relationship-- real ones.


Someday, when I have the budget, I'll ask my buddies out for a stroll, or over coffee, or something. Nothing can replace the moments you have with those close to you.
