"My girl and I are done for good this time." I was trying to get a read on how he felt about it. He said it matter-of-factly.
"That sucks, I guess."
"Yea, it does at first, you know. But it all works out in the end, doesn't it? I mean, things happen for a reason, don't they?"
"I've never thought that way. It all seems pretty random to me."
"I guess you would feel that way. It always happens when the holidays are coming, doesn't it? I've been through this before. I'll start making plans for a trip so I can be away at Christmas. I'm not staying around town for that."
I've been through the holiday break ups, and I had to agree that getting out of Dodge is far and away the best thing, though that doesn't always keep you from being miserable, either. I spent Christmas alone in the desert once. Worst thing I've ever done.
"Right now, I just have to be careful and not go crazy. I've been watching "Entourage" like it's a documentary. I stayed home last night and got stoned for the first time in years. They made it look like fun, smoking and drinking whiskey. Of course, they always have girls. That's going to be the hard part."
Seems like it.
