Meet Zach

As I sit here getting ready for another round of treatment I am trying to think about what I want to blog about.

That being said, I think I am going to dedicate this entry to someone who has become a good friend of mine over the last little bit. Now, before I do that, I don't want anyone thinking, "Hey, why doesn't he blog about me". I am picking on this one person because we have had some amazing conversations over the last little bit and I think he really deserves an honourable mention. Besides, I have personally thanked everyone who has been so cool with me in the past and I will do so again over a series of blogs in which I intend to spend a whole entry on each person. Just kind of talking about them and what that person means to me.

So, without further delay, lets talk about my buddy Zach!

If you don't know who Zach is, he is the GM of Columbus in the league I am in. In terms of the SIMhl, Zach is one of the bright minds in the league. He runs a solid team and is in my opinion, one of the better GM's in there.

From a personal point, Zach has been a great friend to me. We often run into each other on the site and we start yakking about just about everything. He keeps me dialed into the blog by suggesting things I could talk about and his feedback in the comments section is always great.

Had it not been for Zach, I would not have had exposure to a music style that I was not all that close to. I am talking about Rap. If you read my blog on Rap you would have noticed that Zach did the intro.

I think one of the reasons we get along so well is that we are also quite close in age. I wont expose his age on here cuz that would not be fair but I will say he is not far off from me. I also like his dry sarcastic humour. Its funny, he can cut you up and have you laughing about it at the same time. I value that in a person. Thing is though, as much as he can cut you up, he can also pick you up too. On more than one occasion I have been a little down and Zach will come along and say something to me that just makes me feel good. It means a lot when he does that.

Now, dont get me wrong here, Zach is a great guy but I want to make it clear, he is also very straight. My kind words about him should not be read into as anything more than saying something nice about a really nice guy. In fact, part of what makes it so fun to chat with him is that he pokes a little fun at my bi-lifestyle. We joke about coming out of closets, gory details, and other stuff that usually leads to his trademark response, "Oh god". I always howl when I see him type that as I imagine him squirming in his chair trying to figure a way out.

I also want to say that I think Zach is a really smart guy. He told me he is an idiot but I totally disagree. He is incredibly smart. Don't let him tell you different. Even when he tries to play dumb you can see right through it.

Best thing about Zach though? The way he looks out for his friends. The guy has never met me, and yet, if you read the comments he leaves in my blog, you can tell right away that he is a quality guy. A guy's guy, someone you can count on, a wingman who is gonna look out for you. Like I said, I have never met him before and yet I think I am one of the lucky few who get to call him a friend.

Thanks Zach, you rock in my books!

LiveSTRONG!
