I Hate My Friends.

Well, I don’t really hate them, I just don’t have much in common with them. Strange. Mostly I hate them though. Let me set the stage for you.

About a year and a half ago, I left hell and got a job that I really like, doing what I really love. My wife thought it would be nice to have our “friends” over to celebrate this occasion. Wrong. My wife planned this get together only to have one of our friends offer to have it at their house because of their babies and the fact that they have kids apparently also means that they can’t leave the house.

So we are sitting in the house for a good 2 hours when I realized that not one of my “friends” had said word one to me about my new job, you know, the whole reason we were even getting together. There was a lot of chatter about babies and dogs, but not a single mention of the new job. Wow.

At the moment I realized this, I turned to my friend Ant (who is the only person that I truly like out of my friends) and said ” I hate my friends”.

I have since purchased the domain ihatemyfriends.com and have sat on it for the better part of a year. My plan was to make a social network that let you find people in your area that are doing things you want to do. You like water-skiing and hentai? Oh hey, so does Jim, you guys should get together and do those things. I haven’t really thought out all the logistics, but I think done properly, it could work.

* Rex, I like you too, that parenthesis was getting a little long though.
