I got this off of Vien Vu's blog. It just made me think about it more and more as I read down each passage. Hope you don't mind Vien.

"Most men say they have fewer than five friends, but in reality, many people influence our lives," says Geoffrey Greif, D.S.W., a a University of Maryland professor of social work and author of Buddy System: Understanding Male Friendships. Use Grief's four categories to round out your pal portfolio.

Just Friends

Characteristics: Cordial, yet superficial. You play basketball or you work with these guys.

Benefit: They're action-based not emotion-based, so they keep you active and involved and provide an important social outlet.

Rust Friends

Characteristics: Old pals from years past. "They tend to bring out your former self, for better or worse," says Greif.

Benefit: They can reinvigorate your life and make you feel young again. But if you didn't like yourself back in the day, reliving your less-than-glory days won't make you happy now," says Greif.

Trust Friends

Characteristics: You have no problem discussing personal matters with them, but they're not the friends you would call in an emergency.

Benefits: You have the emotional benefits of close friendship, but not the vulnerability. There's room to grow with these guys. "The more time you spend together, the closer you'll become," says Greif.

Must Friends

Characteristics: Your go-to-guys. "Must friends are the ones you call in an emergency," says Greif. "Most men can count their 'must friends' in one hand."

Benefit: "They provide support in hard times, so it's important to keep the relationships strong," says Greif.


Managed to get some errands done today with Kevin Catap and Mark Cayabyab. Went over there around 2, chilled for a bit, waited for Kevin and then headed to the bus stop. Didn't have change so we walked to Nob Hill, bought some chips and then headed towards the bust stop. We got on, took 66 to the Milpitas Post Office on Abel and got our business handled. After, we dined at Taco Bell, it got pretty dark, told ghost stories, got spooked out! Walked to back to the bus stop, and then walked to Mark's after meeting up with Francis. It was cool, nice day chilling with them.
