The four Markeeters
What does it mean when you have friends? It can have countless meanings, depending on how you perceive it. But for this one tale, friends mean being stupid and funny at the same time. I mean, having a sense of humor to start of the morning, always makes things better for everyone, right?
It all starts on March 20, 2015, deep down in the bottom of the sea, where there lies four young humans, also known as Cliff, Og, Goatman, and Bob. Cliff a 20 year old gym trainer and soon to be in the army reserve, Og a 27 year old car painter, Bob a 29 year old business man, and Goatman an 18 year old a soldier in the national guard. These four are your typical white boys, who like to mess around despite the hardships that each and every one of them faces in real life. They've never met in real life, and the only glimpse that’s been given of them are some videos and some pictures. Other than that, these identities have been kept hidden.
What many may not know, is that Cliff and goatman are best friends. These two have gone through so much, that it amazes both of them that they are still friends. Through friendship problems, to depression and anxiety, these two are true friends, who will always stick with each other no matter what. But at the same time, OG and Bob are also similar, as these two are also best friends but obviously more grown up. They share a house, have jobs, and drive around in the streets of Michigan.
''The reason why all four of us must get along so well..'' says Cliff as his about to pull up on the driveway with what his friends refer to as a slow white ladies truck.
''Is because we are all similar and like the same music''
''I mean, we may live miles and distance apart from each other, but in two years from now when we all meet, we can enjoy each others company a lot more then how it is now.''
After this thought process, Cliff continued with his job and his life. He ended up contacted a recruiter and going off to training for the Army Reserve. Og continued working with cars, and in fact got married 6 months later. Bob on the other hand decided to stay single, and occupy his time with work. Goatman became a soldier in the military, and got from the deep depression he was in back in high school, to a more positive young man. They all ended up meeting, after so many years. The friendship and jokes that all started this friendship, became a reality, and everything seemed a lot more optimistic.
The moral of this short story is that you can meet distinctive friends in the weirdest of places. Some that only last a paragraph in a book, while others last a lifetime. Appreciate the friends that you do have, as they could turn out to be life changing friends, such as the ones talked about in this story.
