shadowyominouslurkingfiguresthatcouldpossiblybethebeginingofabeautifulfriendship

Okay here is a picture,...a very bad picture, but I am sorry that is out of my control. Anyway this image appeared in the 2001 yearbook at my high school...I am sure that in the future it will be labeled as a photo of imfamy. Why? You may ask. Well let me explain it to you. See there in the way way very back...there are two shadowy figures lurking (well maybe not lurking, but in the way back at least)
These two figures are none other than me and my friend Chris (respectively of course) And now you are thinking, so what is the big deal about some faded shitty picture... well here in this very picture... I do not know what is going on exactly, but i shall try and explain it to you.
I can only assume that we were both rather pissed off, (this picture does little in the way of facial expressions, but in the year book you can almost make out the pissed off scowls) that would explain why we are sitting so aloof from the rest of the soccer team. Here is the real kick in the ass, I am almost sure that no words were uttered between us,...that is right, not a single one. I wonder now if I would have thought that within the next two years I would become the closest of friends with the person sitting next to me in this picture. I am almost positive that thought did not roll through my head at all, to honestly speak the truth I held a slight bit of animosity inside, and our relationship at this time probably barely reached the bond that two players on the same team should hold...alright so once I went on a rant threatening to kick the shit out of her. Hmm, not such a good friend. I was ignorant and I was blind and I did little in the way of helping the situation.
So maybe this is where it all started? or maybe I needed to add something to my page...either way I doubt many out there care, but that doesn't matter.
This is the only real recollection I have of Chris before we became such good friends. I was thinking about it, and then I remembered, that yes indeed some how this very first memory of my now best and closest ally was captured in this picture.
This picture could be the one photo that will depict us in our high school years before we go out into the world and conquer it, together.
After so many years of being with in an arms reach, we finally found eachother. And maybe many of you don't understand such a deep rooted friendship, but I am convinced that with out the bitter the sweet just isnt as sweet and we have both had our share of the bitter.
