some for cousin lucy
It has been a while since I posted, my apologies to everyone who reads this blog, both of you.
So what is new? I had a very nice thanksgiving holiday, quiet and filled with food, just the way I like it.
I went to see Stranger Than Fiction thanksgiving night. Will Ferrell is the next Tom Hanks, you heard it here first( eat that Perez!) A really entertaining movie. Go see it. Saturday I saw the Fountain, really beautiful, I would like someone to go see and than call and explain it to me.
I ran into an old friend and former co-worker relapsing on Thanksgiving night, sitting by himself in a Gameworks drinking a beer, listening to a MP# player and fingering the bruises on his arms created by shooting up. Really made me miss the fun days of using. It was pathetic. I sat with him for a while, and the newcomer who had come to the movie with me, lsitening to him blather on about how different he was and how no one could understand. I tried to get him to come to the movie with us, but John Barleycorn was more convincing as the Big Book says. Well the rest of my sober evening was a great movie, coffee with a new friend and going to bed in my big ol' comfortable bed with the cats. My relapsing friend however, who kept insisting that his life was awesome, continued to drink, was mugged and pistol whipped(I was shocked to find out that people are actually pistol whipped) and ended up in the hospital getting 4 staples and many stiches in his head. I would love to try and help him, but his cell was turned off on Saturday.
Another one for the prayers.
