I love it when you get all mushy, Aaron. Did I ever tell you about the night before I left Mpls, after a few Navy Grogs at the Dragon, Ryno and I sat on the ledge of my driveway in the rain, smoking cigars, and he was reciting poetry to me and putting his arm around me and getting all mushy too. I told him to get the fuck out of there cause he was making me tear up. The next morning he told me he crashed up his car exiting my driveway.

False truths from the keyboard of Kurt Halsey - !


I think he slipped something in my drink that night. Trying to get my goods, if you know what I mean. You know, the guy runs around in tight Diesel jeans.

I’m only surprised it wasn’t longer. Friendster must have some kind of limit to text field lengths.
