  I saw this asshole at the baseball game. Blonde hair. Black mustache. Giant green sunglasses and this big fucking round hat. Not a sombrero, just a big fucking hat. What a douche bag. Well fuck me he had this hot girl. On his arm! How the fuck does that happen? Either he's got cash in his pocket or a 12 inch satellite dish on the roof of his house. You understand what I'm talking about?

  Anyway I get to thinking about this asshole and you know what? He's pretty smart. He's a loser like me but he got a ticket to the party and he gave everyone the middle finger and went on his terms. We're stupid all right. Like a fox.

  We don't have to go she said.

  I wish we wouldn't he responded.

  Then let’s put it off and go next weekend.

  It'll be too late by then. Besides it won't take long. We can stop for dinner on the way back. My treat.

  She tosses his hair and settles down next to him, reaching around and pulling him close. She kisses his ear. Soon she too is asleep. And dreaming.
