CHARACTER

You have probably noticed that there are a lot of different characters in this world. Its an interesting phenomenon, because at first it seems that we are all the same and only slightly different. But then you take a closer look and you see that - no- we are not all the same!!! There are many weird characters!! I know this guy who is basically my friend, but we dont talk much because he has some freaky character traits. I know him for over 7 years and during that period he hasn`t changed much.Lets call him Dude, so this so known character named Dude, is one of the laziest people living on this planet. In his entire life he hasn`t worked more than forty hours. Dude is constantly broke, on good day he has five bucks that his parents gave him. He is 23 years old, lives with his parents, and once in a blue moon attends a local community college. Moreover, he always wants to hang out. His daily procedure is to eat, drink, and then start calling all of the people listed in his phone book.Dude calls me every week and every week he says "lets hang out?" Last week it was really cold outside and he phoned me and asked me to chill. I tried to think of something to do because i didnt want to stay home. So i asked him if he wanted to go shoot some pool, or go play bowling, or even go to this cafe and try to pick up some girls there. DUde disliked all these options, it turns out he had 4 bucks on him and he wanted to use these little money to buy some beer at the grocery. All right- i said, but where do you want to drink that beer? He said-"outside on some bench at the park." The fact that a 33 mile freezing wind was blowing from the Atlantic ocean did not bother him at all.He is quite a character,,harsh weather conditions never get in his way of sitting on the park bench and sipping cold beer. many times i tried to talk to him about finding a job and having more in his pocket than five dollars. He does not listen to his parents or friends or even to his pocket that is tired of holding the same low amount of money. This dude always makes me wonder whether it`s possible to change one`s character. Maybe he wants to change but he just cant because this who he is..or maybe he doesnt even want to change,, he likes things just the way they are. I decided to look at some character quotes on internet in order to gather more understanding about his phenomenon of the character.
