dude, i can't give much advice, i only met you both a month ago, but as far as i can see, i'm a little on both sides. i understand where joe is coming from. it's his life, he can do what he pleases. it is his world of enjoyment. i happen to share his belief that life fucking sucks, and i spend most of my life pissed off at everything. so i understand how he wants to poke fun every chance he gets. i also think that maybe you should lighten up and let joe live his life and not give him suggestions(such as saying his life really isn't bad or whatever). some people just don't want them, even if those giving them mean well. that said, i've also been in a position where people give me shit, so i don't think that's right either. maybe you should both stop the crap, and try to be more aware of how you both feel. to joe-dave's obviously not taking your joking ways lightly, and that's his right. dave-joe doesn't want advice on how to feel about life. to him it's bleak. i know, it is for me too. so i think you should both start again, but this
( ... )
can't we all just get along...

This is kinda how I see it...you can be pissed off a the world, you have the right to be that way...but you have the responsibility to not take it out on others. Joking is all fine and dandy and something this is totally cool as long as it stops when someone is hurt by it. There can be a fine line between givin' shit and takin' shit out on people. Taking your own frustrations out on your friends isn't productive, nor is it cool to treat a friend that way. If someone says stop, you stop. If they don't care, keep goin'. Just be respectful. Simple stuff.

I am sorry you feel like the shit piece, and I think with more time spent with me, comes constant shit slinging on my part. When I do it it's either because I care, or all in fun, and if you don't want to/cannot take it that way, maybe a rationing of our time together would help. Thouigh friends come and go, and the world is mine, I do value you as a person, or I wouldn't be spending any time with you. Maybe you were right about the alpha male comment, but there are other examples. I know Bob got it pretty bad last schoool year, but latley it feels like I dont have the chance to say 2 words before they're scrutinized, and used against me in an attempt to have one over on me, in the guise of self defense. Dude, you do what you need to do, you're welcome to my party on the 10th, and I will, or won't see you later.
dude i think we're seeing each other maybe twice a week now. Usually once on the weekend and on thursdays. The two word treatment you've been getting recently has been my sorry excuse of defense against being pissed off lately at you. As soon as i hear a criticism out of your mouth my thought is the next chance i get im gonna fuck with him. The anonymous poster was kim ball. I think i agree that friends come and go but the difference is that you're pushing them away prematurely. If friends come and go let them go by either losing touch or losing the ability to relate to each other. Not because you feel like having fun at their expense.
yea, i don't have that whole live journal dealie...so i just posted it as anonymous. i didn't think you guys knew who this chikie (me) from iowa was. i be chillin' in the middle of farm land. whoohoo... g'luck with stuff!
