My friend TJ....

I just had a good chat with one of my friends from high school. His name is TJ, and he currently works as a DJ at 93X yo!

TJ and I were pretty close in the ninth grade. We knew eachother from basketball and classes. Then we were into the whole watching wrestling on Monday nights, and since he didn't have cable, I would tape him shows. I go to school the next morning, and gave him a tape with a pink strip on it. HEH...my mom's old soap opera tape for God's sakes!! Everytime we talk, he would bring that up..."so, still have the pink tape"...

We were friends, and then we kind of clashed. One night, feeling mischievous I hacked into one of his webpages, and typed in some nasty stuff..just for fun. Well he didn't like that too well so for awhile there, I was shaking in my boots not only that he would hate me for the rest of his life, but there would be a lawsuit involved. I had people tell me the next day at school "Man, he's going to hate you forever!!" I was like shit, I really fucked this one up." I don't know why I did that either...heh, I was a naive 15 year old freshman back then in high school. Probaly over some piddly ass thing that wasn't a big deal..probaly had to do with an argument over what the lunch room smelled like or something stupid like that...

TJ moved away later that summer to the twin cities (or chaska to be politically correct). never get to say goodbye to him, and we were on speaking terms at least. Off and On we would just have small talk on AIM messenger, but wasn't much. Now we have a lot to talk about.

I was bummed out that I kind of lost a good friend back then, and he was a good person to hang out with. As years went by, we would chat on AIM, and in fact, a couple years ago i got his cell number and we were supposed to hang out. Never happened. I pry have to pay him a visit here pretty soon to say hi to him, and his 'rents!

He is doing well for himself now..has a DJ job at 93x now for six years, check out the site www.93x.com to see when the man himself will be on the air.

Peace
