- My Best Friend
- by The Chief
- *================*
-
- My best friend is one of those copyists you know? No, not those who work
- with Xerox machines all day long, but those who do exactly the same thing as
- you. For example, if you buy an expensive, special drawing kit for your
- drawing class, you can bet your life on that he will have such a kit with him
- the same day, or at the latest, the next day in case he forgot it that day.
- You know what I am talking about now? Good.
-
- My best friend and I have known each other for as long as I can remember.
- From the first moment I started to have memories, he has always been there.
- As a child, you are supposed to do the same things. You are controlled by
- your parents and the school. You play with the same things. You play
- together. You go up in the morning, you go to school, you go home from
- school, play with your best friend in the afternoon, go home and eat your
- dinner, and then it is time for bed. Your best friend does the same things,
- because he, like yourself, is controlled by his parents and the school he
- goes to. I my case, we went to the same school, to the same class, and lived
- in the same block. Back then, all this was a part of my normal everyday life.
- But today, I am getting tired of it.
-
- My best friend goes to the same places as me. Like a shadow, he follows me
- wherever I go. Some call these people 'tails', because they act just like a
- tail attached to you. I like to call him my shadow. I can decide that I want
- to see a movie that starts about ten minutes later, and who do you think is
- in the same theater, at the same time, watching the same movie? That's right,
- my best friend.
-
- I don't even have to tell him what I'm going to do, because he is always
- there anyway. When I decide to leave the car one day and take the bus for a
- change, my best friend is on the very same bus. If I decide I want to take my
- bike to school, who is there on a bike? My best friend. I planned to go to
- Stockholm last weekend, to go to a couple of concerts with my girlfriend. We
- planned to go there by car a few days earlier, but as it was snowing that
- day, and as I didn't have winter tires on my car, we changed our plan, and
- took the train instead. In the same compartment, on the same train, leaving
- at the same time; my best friend.
-
- Now this might seem pretty common, as we are talking about a best friend.
- Someone who is supposed to be close, there for you when something happens,
- and help you out when you need it. When you look at it that way, it is really
- a good thing. But it is much more strange than that.
-
- Whatever I learn, my best friend learns too. Whatever I know, my best
- friend knows. If I ask my best friend a question about something only I can
- possibly know about, he has got the answer. When it is my mother's birthday,
- it is my best friend's mother's birthday too. When I met my beautiful
- girlfriend, Anna, my best friend met his gorgeous girlfriend, and her name?
- Anna. When I give my girlfriend a present, my best friend gives his
- girlfriend exactly the same present. When I get a cold, my best friend
- catches the same cold.
-
- I tried an experiment once. I almost always wear a T-shirt and black jeans.
- And of course that is what he also wears usually. But one day, I decided to
- experiment. I rented a black suit, and decided to wear it to a party the same
- night. I had never done that before, and I had the crazy idea that he would
- show up in a T-shirt and black jeans as usual, like I always do, and then it
- would be over. He would realize that he could not copy me all the time. Then
- I went to the party. Of course I knew he would go to it by the way, because I
- was going to it. Anyway, when I got there, he was already there. In a black
- suit.
-
- But why do you call him your best friend, when he clearly is a menace, you
- ask? Let me tell you. My best friend is fun to be with. He is very bright, he
- has got loads of great ideas and he is good looking. My best friend's friends
- are great, his taste in music is good, he likes the same things that I like.
- My best friend always has time for me, and listens to my problems. He is
- always there for me. And I can always borrow stuff from my best friend.
- Money, food, CDs, whatever.
-
- My best friend is me.
