son of a gun! what a fucking unfortunate day. i just met my old friend that kinda turned into my enemy haha. met him at a nearby car wash. he is running a workshop that kinda sells tires, two-strokes engine's oil and also runs car wash. to make the story simpler, let's just plunge into the flashback of our friendship when we were both kids. here is the story; we were very closed to each other though he's slightly older than me and both were shakermakers, bad hats, tricksters, hellions, cut-ups and what-shit-not when we were kids. lots of bittersweet memories i reckon. until one day a stupid quarrel happened and we fought like dogs. after the incident we never met as i was studying at border school and never hang out with him. and if we came across with each other both would pull a sour face with clenched fists. always wanna make a row. every other day the bond of brotherhood seems less and less. when we grew older, as we were kinda brought up in a different way we also kinda ended up as a quite different teenager. i heard a lot of things about him you know, bad things. but when i was seventeen i met him once during an accidental ping pong match. he won the match and i remember i felt like a piece of shit (i let him win). i thought he had moved on and just forgot the past but we never spoke nor smiled nor looked at each other's pretty face during the match. #puking.
there goes our story. a brief stupid story about a beautiful friendship that went into enmity. sometimes i randomly feel wrong with what happened to our friendship. he was a very cheerful buddy with tonnes of corny and lame jokes, kinda party starter type of person then. and just now at the car wash, i still can feel the tension between us. he called me 'beruk' (a harsh and rude way to address other people by equating them with ape). heck what a jerk. or maybe he was not intended to point the word to me? i don't know. i respect our past friendship but if you wanna play game with me go ahead pal, i will certainly go with the flow. >:| but strange enough, every time i hear this song my mind will automatically reminiscent about the story of our friendship that went sour though the words in it has nothing related to it (maybe just part of it kaka). just can't help it. the truth is, to loss a friend though he is not yet dead is a peculiar loss because he is not that far away (being alive and kicking) but at the same time very far away (being an enemy). #lol. but doesn't it feels good to sometimes think back all the childhood memories rite? to all friends out there appreciate your friends before they gone. a friend in need is a friend indeed. enjoy avenged sevenfold and have a nice evening. rip friendship.
