I have this friend, his name is Brent. He is my friend, though I don't really know why he is. Brent has the characteristics that most people would typically steer-clear of, myself included. He is full of arrogance! He thinks he is the most smooth talker on this earth and only speaks about himself. Just writing about Brent brings up feelings of sadness. I don't want to be speaking badly about him behind his back, but this is the personality of Brent. I guess it is my own fault for having a friend that portrays a less than satisfactory persona; but deep down I know that his narcissism is a big front he puts up. I guess that's why we're still friends, I've seen him cry once, so I know he's not always the tough guy. I think that Brent and I will be friends for a very long time, maybe he will grow out of this stage evemtually.
