Bruce is a great friend of mine - in fact, one of the many non-blogging friends that I associate with.

So I call him.

Bruce: “Dude, I got a Xbox 360.”

Silence on my end.

Bruce: “Ang (his wife whom I’ve blogged about before) is cooking chicken enchiladas as well.”

More silence on my end.

Bruce: “I’m trying to figure out what game to get on the 360…I’m going to wait for College Football ‘08.”

Sound of me silently trying to come through the phone and choke him.

So after the pleasantries, I get home send him an iTunes online gift card that read something to the effect of - “Happy Birthday you scum sucking rat, you suck.”

Bruce emailed back:

Thanks for calling me on my birthday and for the gift card.

The XBOX 360 sucks, the chicken enchiladas were nasty and I don’t miss you at all.

It’s good to see that distance hasn’t effected our relationship at all.
