Ah, let the debate begin. What would you consider a friend to be? What would you consider a homie to be? Do you even know what a homie is? For guys, this has always been a line and it is very defined.
A friend is someone that you can have a conversation with. Talk about sports or what happened over the weekend. This person can be a co-worker, a fellow train passenger or even a neighbor.
A homie is someone that is there for you no matter what. This person will be by your side even if it meant they would get hurt or in trouble as well.
So there lies the line. But how do you know when to cross and when not to? Here is a simple test to determine if you have a friend or a homie. I Will make a statement and you just fill in the answer…to yourself please. I mean we may not be homies’ so this could get uncomfortable.
1 - Man, last night the wife woke up and caught me masturbating in the bathroom.
2 - Last night the wife and I were playing “inverted horseback rider” and our son came running in and jumped on her back.
3 - Hey man, did you catch the game last night?
4 - Wow I am tired, I need some more coffee.
5 - Man, I swear, if (insert co-workers name) does not chill out he is going to meet his maker very soon.
6 - Hey, I have these home-made fireworks. You want to go and blow some stuff up?
For statements 1,2,5 and 6 I hope you answered with a homie. Statements 3 and 4 are clear friends statements. Sometimes it is hard to determine if a person is a homie or not. But honestly, if you have to think about it…then this person is not a homie.
Having friends is a great hting. But until you actually and truly have a homie, you will never know the difference. Homies can be told, “I love you man”, and never even think twice about how gay it may sound.
ICP said it best, “My homies, homies, talking about the dogs of mine”. All you need to do is listen to Juggalo Homies by ICP and you will understand.

Indeed. We are most definitely sick, twisted and overall strange characters.

Not weird, just different. We are not complicated, we are easy.
