Birthday Shot

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

I’m a big believer in celebrating the whole week of birthday week. Last year near my birthday, I was ‘hanging out’ with Nick. He was rad- we did lots of fancy dinners, had lots of interesting conversations- I was enamored by him, his travels, his good looks, his skills- I loved it all.

During my birthday week, myself, Nick, Marga and Nick’s friend headed to a little dive. We were having a grand time- Nick bought us all a shot of Patron. How very nice. Birthdays should never pass by without Patron. 

So as we’re about to take the shot, Marga says, “This is to…” and before she could finish, Nick jumped in and said, “…the single life.”  and he went on to take the shot without noticing the fact that…

The rest of us all paused. Marga and I just looked at each other and then at Nick and Marga said, “No…this is to her fucking birthday, ass.”

Shot to the heart and he was to blame. Guys like him give love a bad name.

Heart Strings

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

When asked what instruments I can play, I normally reply with “the heart strings of boys.”

My friend just got his heart broken by a bitch. He had known her for ten years. Ten freaking years. And she went and broke his heart. Her name was painted on his guitar; he scratched her silly little name off and asked me to help rename it. And so I did. Zooey. 

And then I got to paint it on the guitar. It came out rad. My first time painting a guitar. 

This post is dedicated to all those friends who help us get through tough relationship woes. Because it sucks; we’ve all been there. We’ve all pressed on. And become stronger people for it. Heart you.
