This trip isn't just about the trip itself, but also about friendship. Let me be the first to say that Andrew and I are not necessarily the same person, or even really agree on a lot of things; in fact we are both very different from each other. However, there is a friendship that has been set in stone and it was only more so solidified in the past week or so. Someone challenged our friendship, saying "why do you have his back? what has he done for you?" Andrew replied with "I've got his back, because he's got mine, and I know he'd do the same for me." The whole experience was pretty intense. The room was just about to burn down. Luckily, the fire was squashed and more drinking ensued. However, the bitter remark stuck with me, and has been mulling around in my brain since. I haven't really had the chance to prove my friendship to Andrew. I don't really have a lot to offer. I have no car, I usually don't have money, I don't really have anything to offer in general. And yet, Andrew has been there for me repeatedly. That's not to say that I don't do anything for him, I still do all that I can, but I never know if it is received or not. Regardless, this trip is about friendship. Two brothers traveling across this ridiculous country of ours, searching for something that we won't know or understand until we find it. Andrew is the only solid person I know, that you could count on for anything at anytime, and has never once failed to come through. Think if you have a friend like that, no offense but you probably don't. There aren't many out there. I am just lucky enough to say that I do. This trip will only harden that friendship. Take out your stone carving tools, this shit is in stone.
