...eating pizza and drinking beer with my buddy Mister Chewthulhu...
...downing rum and cokes in the strip club, antsy; I promised Chewy we would but I really wanted to see... I can't break a promise to my friend but..I...oh, bollocks. Torn. Tap-tap-tap..nervous smile, eyebrows up, "Are we done yet?" implied..
...driving, the 2nd to last trip for the year of 2011... talking about meat...giddy, giggling, nervous, floating... percolated deep breaths, dense plumes of smoke floating out of my nostrils... electrified...quick sketches...fairwell hugs...wondering if will I see this person again in my lifetime... awkwardness and uncertainty abundant.
...driving home, Chewy comforts me. We laugh, make stupid jokes about cultural issues I may face. Anxiety nestles into my chest, my head buzzing.
