Round 3 FIGHT!

Drink up me hearties yo ho!
Alright so here we are on day three and I'm still truckin'. Today I express my gratitude for my friends. Everybody thinks they have cool friends but as far as clans go I've been blessed with the best. I've been incredibly fortunate to have ended up with pack of friends who are genuine, caring, and absolutely brilliant! Many a night has been spent churning stories and ideas, I have no doubt I've spent time with the most creative minds around.

Some of my friendships I've been lucky to have cultivated since I was young, others were built strong and fast in the service of the Lord, and again others forged in fire, banding together against a few not so awesome roommates. One of my friends is hands down the most charitable man I know, I've literally seen him in 'shirt-off-his-back' situations. He once drove six hours one way to save me and my wife (then girlfriend) when we got stranded in Dillon, Montana. I have another who always has an ear when things get too tough, even when he's busy, even when he has his own problems, ever since we were thirteen he's made time for me.

My clan is full of geeks and nerds, filmmakers, scurvy dogs, a giant, writers, and even a man who works for food. We've pushed broken cars together, hiked mountains and caves together, we've gone on impromptu photo shoots, grilled cow, and even worn kilts together. I wouldn't be where I'm at now and wouldn't be half the man I am if not for the friends who've shaped my life. I may not have everything, but when it comes to friends I got the lion's share.
