The single swinging
stoplight flickers twice before deciding to turn green. Brad and I walk across
the street as a large gust of wind rolls through our dusty little town. I turn
my head to shield my eyes from the blasts of dirt and sand. I see Greg the
owner of a local hardware store standing in his doorway watching the world
around him. He smiles and gives us a wave. I clinch my fists and thrust the air
with my hips in a humping motion as I crack a grin. Greg’s smile turns to a
laugh and his wave turns in to a middle finger salute. That man’s known me my
whole life; he knows I’m an ornery little shit. We make a sharp turn into an
old brick building that is the Peace Café.
“I hate this dusty fucking town.” Brad
grumbles as we belly up on our bar barstools.
“Oh you fucking yuppie!” I reply, “You never hated it until you moved to the
big city of boulder. Two coffees, two waters and two menus, please Ms. Grant.”
“Not even a hello for me today boys?” The 300
year old waitress says shuffling towards us with a grin exposing what’s left of
her tar stained teeth.
She’s another old soul that’s known Brad and
me since we were still shitting in diapers. See, I spent 23 years growing up in
this ghost town known as Peace, CO. Brad has come back for the weekend, to try
and convince me to move to Boulder with him, the city home to the University of
Colorado.
I find his argument is rather compelling,
“Come on dude,” he pleads, “the girls are easy and drugs are practically legal
there!” It’s a strange sales pitch since I don’t know much about either of
those two subjects. I’ve had two girlfriends in seven years and I won an award
in the 6th grade for having the best D.A.R.E. speech. I guess drug
and vagina free is the way to be? In my defense, being related to half the
county, I really had to watch where I was stickin’ my dick.
Brad has been my best friend as long as I
can remember. I love the guy and still consider him the dumbest smart person I
know. He is more intelligent and talented than most, yet somehow has no fucking
common sense. It’s incredible. We both have addictive personalities and an
uncanny ability to put ourselves in bad situations. Come to think of it, I
guess I don’t have that much common sense either.
I debate his proposal and reluctantly agree,
“Fuck it! I’ll move to Boulder.” I probably shouldn’t trust the son of a bitch,
but I do anyways. I’ve wasted too much time in this place full of dirt roads,
dead-end jobs and way too many inbred families (Really though, how many is too many?) Maybe I’ll luck out and get me
a girl there that’s still got all her teeth, which would be considered a
“trophy wife” around here. Obviously, incest does not give birth to
pretty smiles.
So it’s settled, I’m
moving to the big city. I pack my bags and head north with everything I own.
Brad has taken care of the leg work, he’s found us an apartment, and all I have
to do is sign the paperwork and fork over a thousand dollars in rent money.
It’s a one year lease, and I’m ready. Cheers to us not burning this bitch down
in the next 365.
Having a near-worthless
bachelor’s degree in Sports Management, I immediately apply and receive a job
managing a large fitness center in Boulder. If you are oblivious to the fitness
world, I will fill you in. It is full of sex and drugs. Most single (or
married), fitness enthusiasts have the same things in common; they like to get
fucked up and love to get laid. For shits sake, the woman that runs my senior
citizens fitness class attends gang bangs every other weekend.
One day she was scrolling through her camera
showing me pictures of her son playing little league. She was busy looking at
me, rambling on as she occasionally swiped the screen. Suddenly the baseball
photos stopped and a picture of her getting jerked off on by three dudes
appeared. “Oh shit!” she screamed, stammering through an excuse as to what I
had just seen. Talk about a happy ending. FYI, she is (was) definitely married.
My nights generally revolve around the same
theme. I workout, go home, get drunk, get high, jack off, pass out. Rinse and
repeat. To say my life is fulfilling would be bull shit, but I enjoy the
routine. My weekends I take to the next level by adding some form of narcotic
to the mix. Usually one that leaves me wide eyed with a runny nose. Occasionally
I’ll add a handful of pills in as well. These tend to make me kind of
discombobulated at first. I’ll seclude myself to my bedroom switching between
beating my chest like a gorilla and then using my hands to rub my nipples in slow
gentle circular patterns. It’s a fierce battle in my mind of being an alpha
male and a testosterone deprived man that is passed his prime. A man whose
muscular pec’s have transformed in to droopy tender breast. Imagine a present
day Rick Flare or Arnold Schwarzenegger on ecstasy.
This has become a
very interesting time in my life.
No matter what the
concoction, I usually end up with a semi-hard penis, screaming quotes from A
League of Their Own. I’m not sure why, but it’s always A League of Their Own. I’m
almost certain it has to do with me being six years old, seeing Rosie O’Donnell
and getting my first erection. This could probably explain my bizarrely strong
sexual attraction to plus sized women. I hate that I love em’.
Okay, fast forward
two months and we’re into October. I’m face down on my bathroom floor vomiting
as I hear Brad’s voice echo down the hallway, “Come hit this shit!” Ah, just
another blood shot eyed Sunday at our apartment. I stagger to my feet, not
wanting to leave the cool comfort of the linoleum. Swaying, I look up, in the
mirror stands a new person. My youthful eyes seem to have aged overnight. “You
look like a young Mel Gibson.” I reassure myself as I unravel the spool of
toilet paper sitting by my sink. I blow a healthy mixture of snot and dried
chemicals out of my nose. The world spins around me as I navigate my way to the
living room. I find Brad and his new fling Amy glued to the couch. They’re
making good use out of our new bong that we affectionately named Ted.
Just recently I pulled
the wingman move of the century and hooked ol’ Bradley up with a trailer-trash
hottie named Amy. You know the type: bleach blonde hair with black undertones,
small shirts always flared open at the top with tits half way out, low cut jeans
that expose her Guns N’ roses tramp stamp of two six-shooters intertwined with
roses, and a sexy little smirk that screams, “I’ll suck that dick right off
your body.” To say she dresses like a hooker would be offensive to hookers, and
she always has a stash of something good on her. ¹Codeine, Percocet, Adderall, Xanax, whatever your prescription addiction,
she’s got your fix. From my room I can hear she has quite the array of sexual
noises. Good for her. Wait… good for him!
A
RANDOM FRIDAY:
4
PM
It’s Friday
afternoon and, per usual, I have a hankering to get off work, get shit-faced,
and hit on random females that have no interest in sleeping with me. My phone lights
up with a text from Amy, and I’m in luck, she has done the ground work for me.
“I’m bringing one of my girlfriends by your
apartment tonight. You’ll like her, she’s a super slut! :)))”
I’m not sure what a super slut is or why
that smiley has so many mouths, but ten dollars says I don’t wear a condom. Let’s
face it, I’ll be wasted and condoms are where boners go to die.
A few minutes pass by and I receive a
Facebook friend request from Amy’s slutty companion. A gorgeous girl named, Tiffany
Sharp. I fumble around with the mouse as I desperately click “Accept” and begin
scrolling through pictures. She is different than Amy. She’s tan with full
cheeks and a beautiful smile. She has a cute little nose and big deep blue
eyes. Her eyelashes look to be at least a mile long. She looks to be out of my
league, perhaps out of my sport all together.
Now, in my opinion, girls are fucking
terrible at hooking guys up with their friends. The broads never give a full effort
to get you laid, and they always call their friends “cute,” but “cute” is
actually code for ugly or fat. And we’re not talking about the thick kind of
sexy that I prefer, these girls are just fat. Like a pimple covered troll that
can’t find a guy willing to watch her finger blast herself on a webcam, let
alone have sex with her. This time though, Amy has done me a solid. Not only
would I love to see this girl flick her bean on the internet machine, but I’d
pay her money (or drugs) to have sex with her. I am ready for 5 o’clock; I’ve
got a potential lay to work on.
SAME
RANDOM FRIDAY:
10 PM
Brad and I sit in the kitchen
awaiting the girl’s arrival. I spin a quarter on the table as we listen to some
rap song that promotes drug and alcohol abuse blare through the speakers. There’s
a faint knock on the door. I jump out of my seat as I quick step to the door
and stop to gain my composure. I smooth out my shirt and pants then reach for
the knob.
On our patio stands our
ladies, I say hello and give Tiffany a once over. My eyes take it in as they
run down a long set of tan legs that are dawning black strapped heels. She’s
easily my height but the Stiletto’s vault her a good three inches above me. She
has a small black skirt on that’s just long enough to hide her ass cheeks and
at the top sits a belly button ring complete with a diamond encrusted butterfly.
Above that lies a pair of tits that would get even your grandpa’s dick hard,
squished together in a bulging red top. I know what you’re thinking and I agree
100%, she’s got a belly button ring, definitely a whore. We swap smiles and
names as the liquor begins to flow.
¹ If you’re a hopeless pill popping addict,
a 21 year old girl should be your best friend. If even slightly attractive,
horny old men we call doctors will prescribe her anything. ANYTHING. You’re welcome.
We’re half an hour into drinking
and things are off to a good start. However, between the BS and copious amounts
of liquor, I start to have a realization. Tiffany might be retarded... like,
literally retarded. I find that her deep blue eyes have nothing behind them;
she constantly stares off in to space and smiles like an idiot. At this point, I
fear having sex with her could be borderline illegal or worse, she could end up
pregnant. I’d have to father a mentally challenged baby whose IQ would be a
cool 50 points higher than my new found baby mamas. “I can’t afford a drug
habit if I spend all my money taking care of these two retards.” I think to
myself as I become overwhelmed with my hypothetical burden.
After voicing her dumbass
opinion that I should shave my Chuck Norris-esk beard (proof she’s retarded),
Tiffany spins her chair around in a circle and dumps half her cranberry vodka
out on to our pit bull, Steve. She acknowledges her error with a loud “Whoops!!”
and is currently balls deep in an apologetic conversation with Steve. Now she
is moving Steve’s lips up and down as if he is talking back. What in the fuck
is going on here? I pull Amy back to my room for a briefing.
Me: Your friend Tiffany is a fucking
idiot!
Amy: Umm, yeah she
is! She takes like, a ton of adderall. She’s like, a crazy good artist though!
(I begin to wonder if she is
retarded or autistic savant like Rainman?)
Me: Does she fuck? Because that’s what I really care about.
Amy: Oh yeah, she’s fucked like a ton of guys! You should probably wear a
rubber though, dude.
Me: Gross. Thanks, dude.
So many
brain cells lost in my conversations with Amy.
We head back
to the living room where Tiffany has a wash cloth wrapped around Steve’s head
like a bonnet. I send an apologetic look to Steve, he deserves better; fuck it…
he’s a team player. I shake my head and pull four ecstasy pills shaped like
Barrack Obama’s head from my pocket. Tiffany suggests that instead of us
swallowing them whole, we should snort them instead. This confuses me, I’m not
really sure why she wants to do this but I assume it’s because she’s stupid. I sigh
as I place them on the kitchen table and meticulously chop them in to a fine
powder forming four evenly shaped lines. Brad retrieves our “snortin’ straw”
from a kitchen drawer and passes it around as we each take our turn.
The
amphetamines kick in almost immediately. I feel my testicles shrivel in to the
shape of a small walnut. My penis follows in suit, but it takes a form more
similar to Vienna sausage that’s been soaked in too much salt water. I lean
back, slam my right fist against my chest and roar, “THERE’S NO CRYING IN
BASEBALL!”
I must be
rollin’, baby. That retard might be on to something, I’ve never had pills kick
in so quickly. All of a sudden her dumb ways are a thing of the past; I think
I’m in love…
… and then I
black out.
I remember leaving our apartment and the
rest of my night is touch and go from there. Here’s what I recall:
--We only go
to one bar, the music is loud as fuck, I hate it. But tonight, I’m not just
listening, I’m feeling the music. I love the music.
--Tiffany spends
most the night grinding her ass on me while I try my best to rub both my
nipples on her back, it feels good. So, so good.
--Half way
through a few bourbon and waters Brad and I hit the bathroom together for
another load of Obama, we swallow this time. That sounds gayer than it was.
--More
bourbon, more grinding, and now Tiffany is grabbing my junk, I am too amped to
care that she’s grabbing the equivalent of a grub worm and two raisins.
--I look at
Brad and notice his pupils have taken over both his eyes. This shit is crazy.
--The bar
closes, we decide the titty club is in order. It’s BYOB and has a free taxi
service. I assume we stopped by our apartment because we show up with a plastic
bottle of vodka and two dirty adderalls that I dropped on the ground. We break
them in and half and share them. Only the best for our ladies.
--I am lying
down on the stage as a stripper slams her haggard beaver against my face trying
to claw a five dollar bill from my lips. I am a very frugal person, I do not
want to give up this five dollar bill.
--I sit back
down at our table. My mustache smells funky. I can’t actually smell at this point
in time, but I assume it does.
--Looking at
the clock by my bed, it’s 5:02a.m. Tiffany is naked and I am trying my best to
dry hump my worthless, limp dick inside her. No use. I find the hole is gaping
so I jam three fingers in with no problem. She cums (maybe, but probably not.)
--I pass out
THE KIND OF HUNGOVER SATURDAY THAT MAKES ME
WANT TO KILL MYSELF:
10:30 AM
I absolutely
love to party, but the morning after can go fuck itself, especially since I
discovered amphetamines². I used to drink like a fish and be perfectly fine the
next day. Now-a-days, I drink say, half a bottle of vodka maybe do a line or
two off the toilet paper holder in a bathroom stall and all of a sudden I wake up
feeling like somebody beat the fuck out of me. Old age, I tell ya what!
Well I just
woke up with one of those horrendous hangovers. It’s almost noon and I feel
like a Saint Bernard just took a big hairy shit in my mouth. My head is
pounding, my gut hurts, and I only know one equation to solve this problem:
5
pulls of cheap vodka
3
bong rips
+ 1
mega shit
=
the perfect hangover cure³ (Thank you, science!)
Fuck the hair
of the dog⁴ that bit me, I hated that bitch anyways.
I look at my right
arm, it’s pinned under a drooling dimwitted sleeping beauty. “I’ve definitely
woken up beside uglier creatures in my day.” I think to myself, reminiscing
about the occasional wildebeest that finds her way into my bed. I slide my arm
out from under her, and head for the bathroom. My piss is highlighter orange
and I wonder how a body goes about producing that particular color. I shrug it
off and stumble my way to the living room.
Brad is
cursed with the same narcotic induced hangover disease as me and I find him there
nursing what’s left of our plastic bottle vodka. A pipe loaded with marijuana
sits on the coffee table.
“I knew you’d
be waking up any minute.” He grins as he passes me the pipe followed by the
bottle. I smoke my smoke and twinge as I gut my first pull of vodka. The initial
gulp is always rough, maybe even a little intimidating to the novice drinker, but
it only gets easier after that. Plus, in order to complete the hangover cure
calculations, it must be done. An hour of drinking and diarrhea passes by. My
hangover has now begun to fade.
² Those endorphin producing bastards.
³Again, seriously, you’re welcome.
⁴ If
you don’t know what “hair of the dog” means, then Google it, ya jerk off.
While Brad
and I hazily reminisce some of our favorite stories of nights out and bad
decisions made, the girls finally wake up and join us for the festivities.
Fuck, they look more haggard than the strippers muff from last night. Both
dragging comforters with them, hair is pointed in all directions, make up has
worn off and Tiffany unknowingly has a nipple hanging out. Brad and I giggle
and separate as the girls snuggle up in between us.
We share more
reckless stories with the ladies as we pass the medicine around. Another hour
of drinking and smoking the peace pipe go by. My mind and body can take no more
toxins. I’m shutting down. I excuse myself to bed, stealing back my comforter
and dragging myself down the hallway.
My head hits the pillow and
its lights out. I’m in a drunken coma equivalent to that of brain trauma victim.
We’re talking about an anesthesia and morphine kind of sleep. Or, in my case,
THC and a half gallon of whatever we could buy for under $10.
Amidst my sweet drunken dreams
of hanging out with Charlie Sheen and starting a Sugar Ray cover band, I am
slapped back to reality. I shake my head, and rub the fog from my eyes as I try
to see through the blinding ray of sun piercing through my window. I am barely
conscious.
A familiar buzzing noise fills
the air and I look up to find Tiffany straddling me with that dumb shit eating
grin on her face, her hair still pointing in every direction. In one hand she is
wielding my Wal-Mart brand electric razor, it’s old, it needs oiled, it sounds
like a World War Two fighter plane. I’ll never forget that sound. Her other
hand is drawn back like Hulk Hogan in a title bout. She slaps me again.
Consciousness, regained.
I quickly consider my options
that aren’t illegal and some that are. I opt for verbal abuse as I yell at the
poster child for abortion advocates to get the hell off me. She nods in
compliance, still smiling and stands up asking, “Are you excited??” I sit up
dazed and confused, a light blanket of hair falls from my face to my stomach. I
become more confused.
Until now,
I’ve had a pretty decent beard. No, scratch that, an excellent beard. Put it
this way, if my penis were as thick as my beard, I’d be in porn. Well guess
what? Not any-fucking-more! I brush the right side of my face and to my surprise;
my hand is covered in hair. I shove Tiffany out of my way and sprint towards
the bathroom.
Son of a bitch.
The left side
of my face is as burly as ever, but the right side looks like I just walked in
to my first locker room shower in 7th grade. My face is shaved up
all the way up over my damn ear. I’m gonna kill this turd...
“What in the
fuck did you do to me?!” I snarl through clinched teeth.
She replies
as if she has just done me a huge favor, “Umm, you’re welcome! I made you look
better without a beard!”
“What are you talking about you crazy bitch?” I yell, grabbing my toilet
paper roll from the sink and spiking it to the ground like a real tough guy. It
unravels and rolls halfway across my room to Tiffany’s feet. She giggles, this
enrages me even more.
“Well look,”
she says pointing at me and moving her hand as she makes a checklist, “I also
trimmed your legs, your stomach, the back of your neck AND, best off all, I
even shaved one of your butt cheeks!!”
Looking
down, I thoroughly examine myself. There is no hair from my thighs to my toes .
Sure enough, my happy trail is gone. The back of my neck feels tightly groomed…
I actually appreciated this because my neck hair grows like Teen Wolf. Lastly,
I check the left butt cheek, it’s still fuzzy. I check the right butt cheek,
bald. Oh no she didn’t!
I’m disoriented
as hell, half of me looks to be 12 years old, and I just got hair raped.
Adderall, ecstasy, cheap vodka… you fucks! I am so frustrated that my voice
starts cracking. I think that inner 12 year old is trying to come out.
“I’M A MAN! I AM A MAN! Why did you do this to me??” I scream, my eyes
nearly welling with tears (like a total pussy.)
Tiffany
smiles as if this shit is normal states, “Umm because I didn’t take my A.D.H.D.
medicine this morning, duh!!”
“I don’t
even know what the fuck that means.” I respond, furiously. “Get out of my
house.”
She shrugs
her shoulders like it’s no big thing and exits my room. I hear her from down
the hallway, “Amy I’m out of here. Brad, your roommate is a fucking dick!”
I stand in
front of the mirror sulking for the better part of forever. I’m nearly in tears
as I trim down left half of my face making it match the right. There is nothing
left of me but pre-pubescent humiliation.
As I walk back into
my room, I hover over my bed examining at the crime scene. My black sheets look
like they have a chalk outline of a murder victim… just imagine hair instead of
chalk. I can see exactly where my legs were assaulted, and even where she conveniently
trimmed my hair all over my pillow. I notice one pile of hair off to the side…
must be where she rolled me over and tagged my ass cheek. “Dumb broad.”I mumble
as I begin tearing off sheets to take to the wash.
Postnote:
I don’t really
know which part of the story is the saddest: Me getting so fucked up that I
slept through a full body haircut, or the fact that Tiffany is such a brain
dead moron that she spent the majority of an afternoon using my limp body as a mannequin…
as if she does this kind of weird shit all the time.
I didn’t hang
out with Tiffany again after that and Amy was only around for a couple more
months before Brad kicked her to the curb. I’d say Amy apologized for Tiffany,
but I feel like any apology accompanied by bellowing laughter is not really
sincere.
