Quite possibly one of the best weekends ever....
Friday was full of boring nothingness.... and Saturday really sucked too. I was supposed to be moving, and I was kind of upset about all that, and to top it off, Sarah and Jerremy and Shannon were having family day, so they went to the zoo and I was all alone by myself all day.
Thank god for myspace.com though :)
I checked my messages and I got one from someone I didn't know, but it was so fucking awesome.
"you don't know me, but I work with Jeff *my best friend from Iowa* and we're coming from Austin and we'll be in Dallas tonight"
Totaly un-expected. My best friend, on a bad day. We met up, had dinner, went to Dave and Busters and got shitty drunk.
He's doing a lot better since the last time I talked to him *see: "the time when Charlie was gonna move back to Dallas a few months ago"*. He ended up losing everything, fucked around with teh dope, moved to Kansas City and started a new job that pays well. Now he travels ALL the time doing network stuff for retail stores and restaruants and such.
We talked about the whole "leaving me hanging after I had everything packed up, quit my job, and told everyone I knew and loved that I was leaving" thing. At first, I was angry, then I was worried, and now I'm just SO happy that he's doing alright and getting back on his feet again. Seeing him was absolutly wonderful. He's one of the few people in this world who knows EXACTLY what it's like to be me. We've both been through the same shit time and time again, and we both bounce back from it every time. He's like a brother to me. The only friend I've had since I was a kid.
I was >this< close to going home, packing up my stuff, and going back to KC with him. I'd have a place to stay, I could find a job real quick, and I'd get out of Dallas. But I just couldn't do it. Dallas is my home. Just kinda sucks. I wish I could be with my friend :(
We had breakfast before he left Sunday, and it was kinda sad to see him go again, but what can you do.
At least now there's a chance I'll get to see him more often than every three years. He travels all over the country all the time... and hell, Soutwest flies to KC... cheap flights and a chance to get out of Dallas for a weekend? Hellz yeah.
We had such a great time though. So fucking good to see him :)
