Friends

Last night was band practise, had a right laugh to be honest.

I love them lads. Really keep me going.
Interview with a photographer, hitting the studio next week, getting some mug shots for the ol'myspace, a refreshed site for a new image we think :)

Friends, Tricky word, Tricky subject.

The word Friend seems to have been giving me more and more problems recently.

Seems to me that some peoples perception of the word is different to others.

For instance, in the twenty first century it seems to be impossible for a male to be friends with a female and visa-versa.

Friendships between a woman and a man seem to be subject to constant scrutiny.
Trust seems to be mistaken for love, affection mistaken for lust and compliments mistaken for blind minded fluttery.

Why is it wrong to remind a friend of her beauty? Remind her she has an amazing personality?~
The only difference I can see between her and one of my male friends is her anatomy.
I compliment my male friends all the time, hell, isn't that what friends are all about?
Some times I wish the world would grow up.
A more mature approach to life would make the world would be a better place.

You see, if I were to point out a woman's floors, well, that would be perfectly acceptable apparently. But to comment on her perfections, the aspects that make her the person that I know and trust as a friend, that's just frowned upon.
Why? Why has the world become so picky?
So judgemental?
Is this the way you all want to live? Seriously?
We don't live in a society where women are used as tools like we did only a few years ago.
Women have equal rights to men, equal career opportunities. Equal rights in democracy.
So just before you are about to judge a fellow woman on having an equal friendship with a man.
Remember, this is what you all fought for. Equal rights.
We shouldn't live in a sexist environment anymore.
Ancient history. So people, grow up.

Stand down and quit your judging.
