Still have love for the dude, but we have nothing in common anymore. He's a grown man now - that still lives with his parents in the projects we grew up in ... when he isn't doing 6, 9, and 18 month bids in Rikers Island for stupid shit!
And when I do see him, it's like old times for the first couple hours reminicing about the same fun shit we ALWAYS do ... then get caught up on recent events - then we have nothing to talk about!

Yep. Same here. I have a friend from high school who I've known a good 20 years, however, we have nothing in common anymore. We haven't for a long time. When I hear from him via phone, or e-mail, he is always talking about some old school shit from 2 decades ago. "Yeah, you remember (some random girl) from back in da dayz? Damn man, I'd like to fuck her now, blah blah blah". Or some other random act of remote humor from back then, beating up someone, some event, some story, etc.
Everytime I hear from him, it's like climbing in the Delorian, and taking a trip back. The worst part is he will ask me what happened to all these old people from my high school, or ask me to track them down. I honestly could give a fuck what happened to these people, nor would I track down some girl or person I barely remember for any reason.
He reminds me of someone who's either caught in a time warp, or the best years of his life were in high school which is just sad. So for the past 3-4 years I try and dodge his calls. I mean, at one point in time we were best friends, much like brothers, and so on, but I'm sorry if I got on with living my life, and realized high school was over 2 decades ago.
