First Impressions?

Let me tell you about a friend of mine. We met about 4-5 years ago online. He referred to himself as a native from Virginia currently in New York. Come to find out he lives in Virginia not in New York so the likeliness of us meeting was slim to none since he had no car nor did I. Occasionally we would chat, then we exchanged numbers and from that a friendship was born. Without seeing a picture of this guy I now call my brother, our bond became closer. We told each other things no one else knew. We argued and I forced a better lifestyle down his throat by consistently telling him to go to college, get a new job, and start saving money. Slowly my antagonizing led to a new change in my brother. Finally he got a bank account and started to save, applied to universities, and soon will be making more than 6.50 an hour. Thank God! However, through all the pain and laughter we have encountered we have never met in person. Come this august we will finally be able to exchange words face to face. What to expect? I’m not too sure. Will all of my presumptions of my good friend be erased? Will he think less of me? I’m I ugly? Anyway, I can’t wait to finally meet up with him and see his true colors. How he walks, what he wears, how big is his so-called “little gut that just needs to be worked out in the gym”? Will first impressions matter since we have known each other for a half a decade? Who knows? But on August 20th in the “slums” of Philadelphia we will find out. Wish me luck!
