My Friend "RaAaAaAandy!"

Let me tell you about my friend "RaAaAaAandy!". He is definitely not the brightest crayon in the box (I mean this in more ways than one). If you know me, you might know who I'm really talking about. Most of my friends including myself have made fun of this guy. We know that he has made a lot of dumb decisions in his life, and it seems that he is completely oblivious to them at times. Today, he found me at a mall and I decided to invite him for lunch during my study break. I found out that there are a lot of positive things about him.
Here's the list:

• He has a license, which is a big deal since he can drive himself anywhere...if he has a car.
• He graduated high school and attended AND passed some of his college courses...which my seem impossible. THIS IS A BIG DEAL. TRUST ME. 
• He is independent. He lives by himself in an apartment. He cooks for himself and does his own laundry. Until now, my mom still does my laundry because she doesn't want me too. She also cooks for me...or if I'm hungry, I just go out to eat. I still live with my parents.
• He gets whatever he wants. Recently, he owns a second blackberry after he just sold his iPhone. I own a "free" phone from sprint and I don't even pay the bills for it because I'm broke all the time. 
• He owns an Xbox 360 and Playstation 3....for a second time. I have a Playstation 2 at home which was bought secondhand. He probably owns a flat screen tv...I have a "tube style" Tv at home.
• He is not stressed about his job....because he doesn't have one. He doesn't worry about paying for the car insurance...because he just sold his car. Yet, he seems happy for the most part....and WORRY FREE. 
• He wears new clothes which he bought maybe two weeks/months ago...my shoes are new if it wasn't for my boss giving them to me last July. Half my clothes are stolen from by brother's closet. The rest of my clothes are from 2 years ago.

Here is my conclusion....if I could trade lives with my friend "RaAaAaAaAndy" for one day, I would. I wouldn't really care if people made fun of me because I can care less what people think about me. I think that some people make fun of  "RaAaAaAaAndy" because they're jealous of him. I happen to think that "RaAaAaAaAndy" is really blessed. Today, we compared our lives and found out that we have a lot to be grateful for. Thanks for the lesson, "RaAaAaAaAndy!"
