Had lunch the other day at Panera Bread…

(“What the fuck does my medal mean?”)

He had the Frontega chicken, and I had the chopped cob salad…

He was oddly despondent about the upcoming G.I Joe:The Rise Of Cobra film, since he will not be making an appearance in it, and will only contain real actors…

He said, “Man, it’s not the same anymore with all this CGI bullshit. Somewhere in all that action the story got lost. It wasn’t like that in my day. Fucking liberals!”…

Then he did a rail of coke off his hand, and looked out the window as if he were searching for something. Maybe his youth, his dreams, or a firmer “Kung Fu Grip”…

($20 hand jobs)

That’s when he broke down telling me about his albino brother Pepe Joe, and how they lost touch when they were on a mission cause G.I forgot to bring the SPF 200…

Pepe was burned badly by the sun. After that they vowed never to speak again…

(Pepe before the sun damage)

G.I finished his double espresso mocha latte, bushed a tear aside, then left…

I could only assume he was going on a quest to find Pepe, and reconcile old demons. Either that or stop the cop from giving his Aqua Jeep a ticket since he was parked in a loading zone. Either way, now I know…and knowings half the battle..

Have a day!
