2003-04-15 - 10:27 a.m. Sam Sez Sam said "My God Nelson, can you believe how angelic we were as kids? Do you even realize how good we were?!?!" he pauses on the phone, �My God my grad school buddies here were talking all about their wild drug induced weekends and weeknights, and doing god knows what. Do you realize the amount of non-sex that we were having with our teenage girlfriends? And they were hot!!! Oh my God. �i know Sam, I can�t believe how many chance we had to screw ourselves up in high school and we never did them,� I comment, �We never made the �bad� choice. Rather, the destructive choice.� �We used to court girls for weeks before we tried to kiss them.� �that went out the window� �Yeah, but it took years. Remember the most illicit thing you did in High School. I don�t. Cause we didn�t do anything illicit.� �remember our senior �prank�?� �What did we try and do�put up a sign?� �yeah, a nice sign that was tasteful, but clever� �Oh god, I can�t believe how lame that was. We parked at the school and got caught,� sam let out a deep sign as if part of him died. �remember how the principle called us in to his office. Not to scold us, but to ask us about that other kids out there that weren�t caught? Yeah, he knew we were rats and wanted to know about the pranks that actually happened; the good ones� Sam didn�t actually remember that, but changed subjects again. �How do people get through all that stuff and come out on top?� �i don�t think that it�s a matter of that so much as some people haven�t done what we have done, and sometimes the drugs in high school have no effect on performance. Look at Tim. Now he�s getting married and has a fantastic job.� �Yeah, and its not like we have �made� it anymore than anyone else. We should have done drugs.� �its never too late to start. I think that when I retire I will start the drug habit, cause fuck it at that point. Imagine if the first joint you ever smoked was at 75. It would make life seem worth it I imagine� �I don�t think the body can handle drugs later in life, like, real drugs. If Grampa Joe shoots a little heroin, he�s not bouncing back.� �maybe not, but at least it�s a good way to go,� I pause as the conversation dies, �You comin to my party?� �I want to. Christ I gotta go to Needles wifes graduation from Pitt. I wouldn�t want to go to my own graduation.� �hey, I didn�t go to mine from Tufts.� �Yeah, maybe if I leave at 7:00 AM on Saturday, I can be home in time.� �by five, that would work great� �Well, lets say 7:00 cause I fuck around on the road a lot.� �alright dude; get it done. I say dump Needles. I mean� its needles.� �Its not like he won�t come. He�s gotta be here anyway�. We�ll see� �i am going. Check you email. The masses await your answers. You�ve gotta a backlog running. And hey. Take care.� �Bye� click. | |||||||||||
