The Brother

Back when leather jackets were cool and punk rockers weren't all pussies, Tommy and I used to drink the cheapest beer we could find, we'd talk about the cute girls we wanted to bang, and sometimes, in the blurry streets of our youth, we would sing our hearts out. Horrible songs... we sang them loud and proud!


Getting drunk with a friend... we've all done it. I know this is a useless boring post, but it's as true as any other damn piece I've ever written. We lose many friends along the way, but of all the people I fucked over or who did the same to me, Tommy is the one I miss the most. He was my brother.
I think today's his birthday...

  1. Makes me think of all the friends I've lost along my life. Not sure what you mean by boring. Personally I think it touches deep.
    The 'beer' is pretty funny!

  2. Sad :( Because I've also lost friends! But it's the life... people come and go out! But sometimes, some people stay with us! :D

  3. Nietzsche - the boring thing was just because it's a bit more personal than usual. i don't know... glad you liked the 'beer'

    Nuki - that's true. we should always value those who stay with us.

  8. Ah, you just reminded me of one of my best drinking buddies from back in the day. Last I heard from him he was homeless, sending me youtube videos from the public library every once in a while. I miss that crazy bastard.

    Cheers to the missing drunkards.

  13. Lost a good friend of mine, too. She was chinese and moved back to her country :-(

    I love the beer-peeing devils here! :-D

  14. Laury - haha yeah, beer can be bad, especially the next day. those who stay are the ones we should value, but those lost can linger around in our memories.

    Kat - that's sad, but maybe you guys will meet up some day. the devils really give beer that extra flavor :)

  17. yeah, what made some people awesome in the past might be exactly what makes their company undesirable now. some people are just better as memories.

  23. This post certainly is filled with truth.
    I think I might actually be in that very same period at the moment. Also, I dont care what people say, Sonic Youth is awesome.
