Ok, so last time I saw my lovely friend Manoj was just over a year ago (the very same time Scott made the above poetic statement...haha)
Fairly ironically it was at a LostProphets show in Birmingham. I say ironically, as, just as Manoj stated in his reacent blog Last Summer, this is where it all began.
He explains it better than me, but lets just say in the past 9 years there have been some jovial times since all meeting due to our shared intrest in said previously baggy jeaned nu metal entity.
Its been a year because Manoj is ill. Hes getting better, but its been hard. I know he's had the toughest months of his life reacently, and it was never quite the same seeing the faces of these old friends without his alongside. So we got a plotting. Oh yes ! It was quite the undercover mission. Facebook has never seen threads like it. We decided on Halloween as a weekend to get off work and troop up to Birmingham to suprise him, as he hasnt been able to travel around lately. It worked a treat and I think we all had a fantastic day., although it will be a while before I can look any form of sushi in the eye again.
It was so great seeing how happy he was, that in this tough time we could bring that bit of joy.. And it was touching to see everyone come together, book time off work and stratergise how to have optimum impact.
It just goes to show how important a role friends play. I honestly cant imagine going through life alone without the companionship of those who genuinelly care about me. It would be bleak. Friends are for life, not just for Christmas and all that.
On that note, im going to go prepare for MJ dance fest mark 2 with Helen. Get those sequin trilbys out, the pigs are on the rampage !
