5, 15, 25, 35!

5 - The best birthday I’ve had would probably have been my 15th birthday. Technically in the Brazilian culture, we call a girl’s fifteenth birthday festa de quinze anos as opposed to quinceanera but my birthday was nothing like the traditional Brazilian birthday. I celebrated at CiCi’s Pizza (a pizza restaurant that used to be a really popular place for a lot of the kids at my high school / me + my friends liked to hang out at) and roughly the same amount of people I invited showed up (one or two people came with extras but it wasn’t a big deal) We had the arcade, the all you could food, the cake, soda, pretty much everything I could asked for I got. I still have pictures of that day and it was one of the best days of my life.

15 – I answered this :3 [ you can look at my last ask if you go through my reply tag]

25 – I wouldn’t call her my ex-best friend per say but we used to be close and now we aren’t. She changed a lot in high school after she first got together with her first boyfriend. After they broke up, it all pretty much went downhill from there. She started hanging out with a different crowd and because that crowd had similar interests, she  started to act and think that she was better than me + a lot of other people. I didn’t think it was worth the time or the energy to try to stay friends with her so we basically drifted apart. Funny thing is, I’ve remained friends with her twin brother.

35 – I wish I could stop stressing out over things I can’t change or people whose actions I can’t change. I tend to worry and allow situations / circumstances to gnaw / bite at me until I feel so overwhelmed I don’t know what to do with myself. It sucks when you’re face to face within a circumstance that’s beyond your control  ( and you wan to fix it but you either don’t have the authority to or have no idea what to fix) but you have to suck it up / just finish the day with your head held high.

Shaky Slim and his damn old fashioned

Inside it was December twenty fourth, outside it was raining and forty seven degrees. While some might say that a rainy Christmas Eve is an unfortunate setting, for Seth it was quite a nice sense of relief for last winter started strong with a late October blizzard and stuck around long enough for a white Easter. This was not uncommon near the great lakes of central North America, but never welcomed. As it was said once by an leathered old black man in tattered clothes outside of a church on the east side of Detroit before Good Friday mass, 'I tell you what, if Jesus lived 'round here, he'da waited a few more days to come on back.'

So it was the holiday season again, and the forecast predicts a rainy sleigh ride for the big guy. This news bringing smiles to many in southeast Michigan, smiles through cracked lips still chapped from last years localized tundra expansion. The Motor city was dreaming of a gray Christmas, the storybook snow of the season was just not appreciated by folks around here. This year though, being already fourty four degrees warmer than the last, has brought out a special kind of Jolly Cheer. One bar in particular, Slims, was crowded with the spirit of the year end. Tucked in behind a furniture outlet between the expressway and the steel mill downriver sat a little brick building with two stained glass windows in the front. A large plastic light box -long since burnt out- was bolted to the west facing wall, written on it in translucent brown paint were the words 'Slim's Place.' While the exterior was stylistically conflicted and left much to be desired, the interior was exactly what one would expect a rich old mariners house to look like; the walls littered with photos and fabrics and shelves with odds and ends, the floor a warm patch work of weathered woods, the polished oak bar framed the plethora of whiskeys and malts offered. Every surface was individually fascinating but nothing compared the sum of the parts.

In the far right corner of the crowded box of a bar sat Seth. This is where Seth always sat, beneath an obnoxious display of signed hockey player portraits ranging from black and white to DSLR. This is where Daniel walked to the most.

-You could sit at the bar you know?

-You could stop saying that you know.

And thus began the night.
