I just don't get it.
Case in point, my mate. Let's call him Damian. Because that's his name.
This is a guy who used to be one of the most vibrant, funny, intelligent and genuinely good people I have ever met. Okay, he was a bit weird, like he used to dye his hair blonde and walk into college wearing leather pants and singing songs about donkeys, but he was funny as hell.
He was also one of the biggest tarts I have ever witnessed making an arse of himself for the sake of a blowjob. He would wander into the local meat factory/dance club and pull some of the thinnest, most vacant, puts-her-makeup-on-with-a-trowel women you are likely to see. You know the type, miniskirt and boob tube in -10 weather, complaining that she's cold, drinking some kind of saccharine based alcohol and falling over.
Respect. If your into that kind of thing. And I'm sure he did get into it.
He would also get pretty toasted. Sometimes toasted enough to do some really dumb stuff, like start fights with bouncers, or lose his phone and jacket in a gay club that he didn't know he'd wandered into, then forget he was in another city and order a taxi home, then getting kicked out in the suburbs when the driver realised he didn't have enough money to pay the fare.
Pretty dumb, but also pretty funny. It's not like he was doing it all the time. He was the comedy fool.
Fast forward a few years.
Due to an unexplained and very serious change in attitude, he has managed to get himself engaged 6 times. He was proud of this fact until it started scaring normal women off. Desperate for some kind of meaningful relationship, he gets into some of the most horrible I have witnessed. I mean with real bitches. If they're not scamming him for money, they are sticking far to much coke up their noses and trying to have sex with his friends. Or they are just so ridiculously vacuous they have no clue what's going on around them.
The one decent woman he managed to catch left him because of his drinking. Real sound girl. Still mates with that one.
Ah yes, the drinking.
It used to be that we kidded him around about him being an alcoholic. Then we got serious.
Now it's beyond a joke. His wit is gone, his body is failing, and his self respect packed up and left a long time ago. It's rare to see him sober at all. He is aware of his problem and does nothing serious to try and solve it. Therapy doesn't work, interventions haven't worked. We reason, we plead, we shout, we insult, we try and sympathise.....
We give serious consideration to just giving up.
And still he drinks, still he wanders further down a road none of us can follow and moves beyond our reach. We all still remember him as he was. The tall funny one who liked the wine, the women and the song.
I suppose in hindsight we could have seen it coming and done something earlier, before he fell into the pit, before we lost him and he was replaced by this stranger inhabiting his shell.
20/20 hindsight. Yeah. Fucking useful.
So last night he goes and gets his head caved in round the back of some shitty pub doing some shitty drug deal. What the fuck are you supposed to do with that?
I just don't get it.
So long mate. I still remember you the way you were. Even if you couldn't.
Shit.
