You can pick your friends. You can pick your enemies. In my life, I've come across both.
Todd and I met at the university of Arkansas. I tried to steal his woman. I never got the girl, but I got a best friend for life. He's married to Samantha and they have two wonderful kids. In addition to being a great friend, he's a great husband and father. We don't get to see each other as often as we'd like, but we try to hit a casino or hang out and watch the Hogs play whenever we can.
Heath is my other best friend for life from the Universtiy of Arkansas. We met twice. Once while he was in high school choir teaching me to pronounce the title of the song and once broken down on the side of the road trying to get to Memphis for a Razorback game. We couldn't live much farther apart (in North America) right now. He's in Vancouver with his wife. He works for EA Sports (it's in the game). Lucky sap.
