I do enjoy buying things for friends no matter how cheap you all think that I am. Now, I haven't actually heard anything about people calling me cheap so you can stop holding your breath. I just know that sometimes I possibly come across that way. My thing is that I usually spend a lot of my money on myself. Then when it comes time to be nice and get something for a friend like an alcoholic beverage or a movie or dinner, I have barely enough for myself or no money at all. I do what I can. Granted I may be more likely to pickup something for a female friend than for a male friend but I do not mean to offend. It is kind of like covering my behind with the ladies. Being a gentleman I hope someday will get me somewhere in life. Granted I'm not like the "perfect" gentleman but again, I do what I can. I am only human.
Lately my thing has been getting my buddies birthday gifts. I have never been much of a birthday gift giving kind of guy but yet I am huge on receiving gifts, who isn't? So, I've been trying to be selfless on this fact and try and get my buddies things to show that I care in that we're buddies kind of way. Now, my thing also is that I may not get you a gift on your actual birthday. I don't like to get stupid generic gifts. I like to get something that reminds me of the person or that I know the person would actually enjoy. So in a current example I will be giving a buddy of mine a birthday gift a month after his actual birthday. I finally saw something that I just had to get for him. He probably thought that I was an ass for not really doing anything neat for his birthday but sometimes the right time is not the right moment.
So you know, I'm not trying to be "secretive" but at the same time I am trying to be "secretive". I have reasons that some people read my blog that maybe shouldn't read my blog. I try not to name drop as often anymore. Depends on who I am talking about but I just don't want everyone knowing every little thing I do. That could get a person in trouble. So I use the term friend more often in place of names. I'll use a name here or there if I feel that the context is appropriate. Just ask me in person as to what I post about if you ever have questions.
