We live another day. We fight another war.

One of my favorite movies is Ocean's 11. Both the 60's version, and the 2000's version. Class. Swagger. Etiquette. Gentlemanly warfare. I learned how to make a martini watching the Rat Pack rendition.

The final scene with all members of Ocean's 11 in front of the infamous Bellagio fountain always gets me. 'Clair de Lune' is playing in the background. As each member leaves the camera pans around as each face gives a smile or head nod to the next guy in a way as to say "Til next time" or "Here's to life".


The bond between friends should be unbreakable. No matter what life brings and takes, real friends never leave. Good or bad. Understanding. Compassionate. Honest. Willing to lie to you to spare your feelings, but also knowing when to be as blunt and straight forward as necessary, much like Brad Pitt and George Clooney's characters. I'll continue on my search for these friends. Not to replace the ones I have now, but to increase the number.

Lets say, I dont know, to at least 10 of them...
