Eyes

So Im off to talk to this billionaire guy and his cronies this afternoon and try to 'close some deals' and 'get some units on the board' or something like that. And no Im not nervous so STOP ASKING ALREADY. Jeez. I mean, theyre rich property developers so at least I know theyre going to be honest.

Howre you doing? I hope you are eating slash sleeping ok.

I slept pretty good; yesterday was my buddy J's last day before heading back to school so me and my friend Sophia took him drinking to comiserate. He was complaining that he had to go shopping with his mum in Tesco at 10pm (!?) and then he had to pack his **** because he'd been high all day and hadnt bothered. Sophia and I aggreed that every time he whined we'd get him, and us, another beer. he whined a lot. And then I whipped out my half oz of birminghams finest, much to his dismay. And then the last of my little weekend friends, which really pissed him off as he crushed them up, resigned to his fate. He was furious at us. We found this deeply amusing. Sadly for me, my usual vicelike grip on the situation somewhat loosened by Mared Sous and havana club I got caught out BAD. We're in some dive bar next to a second-hand car lot and a Kwik Fit and I get up from watching this exceedingly funny pool game (wherein J was accidentally whupping this old pro who was growing increasingly upset), and I go to take a piss. As I walk past the bar I notice the barmaid is--- Thom Wolfe described an artist as "life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave." That applies equally well to a drunk man waiting to be served by a pretty girl with tatoos and an bright, evil grin. Before you know it I've sleep-paid-for three more beers on top of the full ones we'd just got. And its about 5 to 11. I got back to the table and theyre like "what the shit did you buy those for" and Im like "Because, errrr, nice ass?.. DAMN IT!"
Whayagonna do? I drank as much as I could but as I was walking away from the table, waving as if I was watching a loved one depart forever on a treacherous sea voyage, my heart choked with regret, I knew I'd made a terrible terrible mistake. I made myself a solemn promise: Never again will I eye up women when drunk. Never!
