-Reggles: I don’t eat in the morning.
-Oz: Nor do I… Let me have a poptart to quench my hunger.
4 hours later.
-Oz: I never got a Pop Tart! Can you believe that? In this day and age. Honestly.
I think I’ve developed an aaaall new laugh now that Oz is here. It just sounds different, you know? I’m like HOH HA HO HA HA HOA HO HA. I don’t really know why this is happening but yeah, it has. Sometimes, I’m sure he’s a bit freaked out by it at times. It’s just EXPLOSIVE, so out of nowhere, I’ll just burst out with my “HOH HA HO HA HA HOA HO HA.”
“Whut are you laughing at?”
”Nothing.”
Lots of videos and pictures to show the world… but is the world ready for dis? ~shakes ass~ Oohhh yes. Oz tends to record completely uninteresting things. He finds them interesting. I do not. For example, this afternoon, Mr. Oz decided to follow a lizard around the hotel pool area. A lizard. I’m like “Oz, stop recording the lizard, no one wants to see that.”
He doesn’t listen, though. Last night, he waited for lightning flashes with the camera on, so that he could record the lightning flash. Wasted film, honestly.
The experience has been simply awesome and very much surreal. It’s very interesting to see him right there next to me, because I’m so used to seeing him on my computer screen, you know? It’s almost a bit celebrity-ish-ish.
Yes, it’s awesome. It’s strange. It’s fantastic. Every day is a new experience. Every day is a new story, a new chapter in the Easy Vibe book. With every morning, comes a new adventure, and with every moon there comes a new conversation. I find myself wondering sometimes “How is this possible?” This friendship, this bond. Beyond a friendship, more like a brotherhood, the Easy Vibe has found a balance in Oz and me meeting.
At times I find myself simply staring at him while I watch him do his own thing [I don’t want him to get bored of me lol]. He plays around very freely and in that, I find amusement. Today, as I watched him run around the beach making different figures as his feet hit the sand, it hit me. And in that moment, I understood… how lucky I am. He helps me be me. He is one of the most inspiring people I have met, and probably will ever meet. I realized how impossible it is for Oz to be a coincidence. I am further able to appreciate and understand that this friendship was meant to happen. We’re two different people, from very two very different places. Somehow, we found each other. And when I look at him I am amazed… because I found a best friend.
And as we walked on the beach, I would look at him and there he was, Oz, my friend from the internet. There he was, in all his 6’1 splendor. Only, he wasn’t just my friend Oz from the internet. It’s as if we’ve known each other for years. I realize, everything has changed. I will never be able to look at Oz the same way, nor think of him the same way. I’ve met him now.
I’ve always thought that when you become such good friends with someone online, the friendship is always going to be very different and feel very different. Because of a simple reason… you’ve skipped a step. A normal step: meeting the person. Now that I’ve met Oz, things have changed. Obviously, things have changed for the better lol. Our friendship is solid, and in that, I find great comfort.
We’ve waited for this moment for a long time! And here we are, at the Hyatt in Dorado, Puerto Rico. Finally! The memories will last forever. This has been the most memorable, incredible thing I’ve ever done, and I’ve made sure to treat it with the utmost respect, care, and importance. And if ever we forget something, there will always be pictures to remind us of the moments spent, of the conversations had, of the people met, of the things done; of the things eaten, the jokes made, the smiles expressed, and the beauty that I find in my friendship with Oz.
