best

   Does this count for a Photo of the Day? I say it does. It's one thing to get a compliment from a random acquaintance. It's on a whole other plane to get a compliment from your best friend who taught you to be the admirable person they're boosting. ♫ Sit down... be humble ♫
   Since I'm a total millenial, all I replied with was a four-second video of Danny McBride in Hot Rod whimpering, "I don't even cry, and look at me. You're about to make tears come out my face!" I have this totally obnoxious habit where I'll hound my friends with my interests until they participate. The top media I push on the cronies are podcasts and documentaries, but only because they're great. I wouldn't recommend something if it didn't provide quality information. It only took Brian three months to finally watch the Emmy Award-winning documentary 13th, which is about the United States prison system being legalized slavery under the 13th Amendment in the Constitution. When he finally did watch it, he sent me a text reading: all juniors will be subjected to "Thirteenth".
   He's a social studies teacher for grades seven through twelve in this Hills Have Eyes ass Colorado town. He was my social studies teacher 7th through 11th grade, and my favorite friend since I was 15 years old. We text weekly and discuss current events. Sometimes when I argue with people, I need a historical expert for testimony, and I ask him to fill me in on certain topics. I once asked him who the top 5 worst U.S. presidents are, in his opinion. He replied immediately with, "Trump is first on our list, the cock-eater. His unprofessionalism knows no bounds. He is the most unpresidential motherfucker I've ever heard of. James Buchanan is second because of the Dred Scott decision and his support for the Civil War. After that, it's a toss-up. Pierce, Phillmore, Hayes."
   "W. Bush doesn't make it, huh? Jet fuel can't melt steal beams," I typed.
   "His bitch ass can be fourth for his foreign policy decisions. Fucking Iraq and Afghan wars." It's that type of reassurance that fills my empty heart with warmth as well as the notion that there are people who still rely on knowledge and facts and data to form their opinions. It's kind of arbitrary for me to talk about how much we agree since, like I mentioned, he taught me the majority of what I know about politics and world affairs. However, it has been great for my confidence growing up with someone who validates my thoughts, ideas, and opinions, pushing me to be better and do better.
