10. My friend Matt...

He is in his 40s, lives alone, works two jobs, very few friends, never had a girlfriend, walking freakin' encyclopedia of 60's and 70s rock music--especially anything about the drums, extremely talented dummer/percussionist himself... the dude is a musical sponge, he can hear anything and just soak it up and ooze it all back out. He does not play a regular gig because his quirky personality freaks people out. He smiles with this big grin and has jerky movements like he has Tourettes around strangers and when he gets excited. When he calls me on the phone we talk for an hour because he cannot take a clue that I want to get off the damn phone.

Drunk maybe once, weed never, cigarette never.

He also has BA in Politcial Science and is one of the most informed citizens I know. He reads like five newspapers a day.

He has enriched my life greatly.
