douchebag "friend"

Me and this guy meet on Facebook and hangout like 15 years ago. We were both teenagers. We basically watch old TV shows and chat for a few hours. He kept bragging about how he had Canadian and American cable. Then he kept going on about the music he liked in that sort of insistent way self-centered people do, where it's like you have to like what he likes and he won't shut up about it because you MUST also have the same level of interest. He liked Slash and other boring basic bitch dad rock.

I was there because of how isolated I was, and how I couldn't even make friends or be around people my own age in the real world. He was there because I think he was a spoiled douchebag, social outcast for that reason. He dressed with a Nightmare Before Christmas beanie. Poor trash (like myself in those days), and rich kids pretending to be special for being aware of mainstream pop culture both tend to gravitate towards Hot Topic shit like that beanie, I think he was the latter.

I try to make myself like some of the Slash songs that I listened to. Yeah, post Guns N Roses Slash, can you name any of his songs? I can't either. I message him to talk about it, and hear nothing back. I looked at his page years later and he started doing another thing insecure little men do, weight lifting. He cut the Hot Topic shit and was now posing with a ripped muscle shirt. Probably short as fuck. But, there he was, BIG MAN at some douchebag gym.

I'd guess now he's probably still lifting weights, maybe with some ugly cunt, maybe not. Probably still pretending to like shitty music, and acting like a special wittle snowflake for remembering Cartoon Network shows that everyone watched. OMG Power Puff Girls.
