my favorite person in the world right now is a bar regular at avalon, his name is bruce. a few weeks ago, the other bar regulars were mad at him because he said something pretty obscene and i felt really sad for him. he would sit by himself and i knew he was lonely, but he still kept a smile on his face. he drinks pbr out of the bottle and he wears a gold necklace and i don't know what it is, but he sorta reminds me of my dad. i think the other regulars aren't mad at him anymore because yesterday, he was laughing and cursing up a storm with them and it was nice to see him happy. there is a lot of weird tension going on right now, but surprisingly none of it involves me. i wish that everyone would relax and i wish that everyone could just be happy, just like bruce.
