Transcript of SERVE - Week 2 - Connect
This basically ties into my friendship map, so I’m going to roll the two together, but mainly focus on the map!
So.. About George..
- From Pittsburgh, PA- Mechanical Engineering major- Avid weightlifter- A resident of mine for two years
Seems like we’d get along, right?
WR0NG(Well, we do, but I have no idea how..)
Music
- Country- Top 40 (or whatever number..)
- Rock- Old things songs/artists I’ve never heard of before
Frequently Used Words
- Party- Lifting- I’m going to be late
- Meeting- Working- I might have to leave early
So why are we friends?Well, I asked George.. and he says it’s because we’re lifting buddies.
He then pointed me to this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMSWWgGU6Z8
Here’s a teaser of it..
Now that video is a little (a lot) ridiculous, but I think there is something to it. I think that by spending time with anyone, you do connect. You relate. You trust (especially if that person is making sure thousands of pounds don’t crush you) (yes, THOUSANDS - I’m a beast obviously).
There are other reasons why I think we’ve stayed friends, despite our many differences:
- There’s a mutual understanding of where we’re each coming from and the differences we have.- We both have similar values, even though they present themselves in different ways (Family, loyalty, etc.).- He’s one of the few people to whom I open up and tell things, both good and bad (When I apply to things, if I get them, if I don’t, my parents’ and their divorce process, frustrations with people (and life), girls/relationships, etc..
And you know..
I think he cares about the stuff I tell him..
And I’m the same way with him.
To quote that video I just told you to watch..
A cocktail of testosterone..oops wrong quote
“It’s just two dudes [...] caring, being there..”
That took a lot of editing to make it less awkward.
(I think it’s still awkward)
So maybe that’s why we’re still friends.
But maybe not.. I never know with George
See ya next week
