Before the overrated The Big Lebowski, Jose (aka the Hoser) was the original Dude namely for his frequent usage of the word. It was something that made him endearing in my clique of Marquette friends. Jose’s overall character, gregarious nature and generosity is another reason why I consider him a Best Friend. How he has endured a semi-needy, pseudo bully like me for 23 years is a mystery. I guess a Taurus and a Leo can get along despite the stereotypes claiming we’re both rather headstrong personalities; Lions have difficulty devouring bulls thanks to the large horns!
Meanwhile, I’m still bugging the bejeezus out of him to come down for my birthday. With the possible fun we can have during a long weekend in Austin, it could be a dual celebration.
