i'm that guy...

my phone rings...

"hey whats up"
"i'm depressed"
"why?"
"just broke up"
"oh...uhh...ok.  CONGRATS!  what u wanna do?"

**

my phone rings again...

"he's moving to shanghai"
"OMG. are u sad?"
"yea"
"congrats"
"hahaha"
"see u tonight"

i'm that guy.  that guy you call after a fight, after a break up,  after a broken wedding,  after a divorce.    and after a couple of drinks and after a couple of shots...my support group style doesn't give hugs but rather gives high fives and kanpai clanging.

i'd like to think that amidst the sea of debauchery there is a continual undertone of conversational perspective....and i'd like to think that i my blackhole of alcoholic hedonism reverberates with not just a good time...but an understated solace
