The Chill Room

That's what my place became last night around 2am when the alky neighbor came knocking on my door and window. Apparently he needed a place to calm down because he smoked too much crack and was flipping out. So for about 2 hours I had to listen to this girl he was smoking with talk about how he's not dying, checking his pulse, and talking him out of calling 911. Eventually we talked him into eating a little something and going to sleep. Apparently he hadn't slept or ate in two days.

I know I should have just said no and shut the door. But I could relate to what he was going through because of my days of dropping acid. Sometimes you just need a place that you're familiar with to relax and chill out. But this afternoon I bitched him out for banging on my windows at 2 am just to chill out.

He doesn't have a job anymore and hasn't paid his rent in 2 months so I'm sure he'll be out of here pretty soon.

You're a softy, even if you try to be hard-nosed. He (the neighbor) needs a wake-up call. LIfe is about more than crack and hanging out. Kick him in the azz and tell him to wake up ;)

your sister is worried about what this guy is capable of. he is probably harmless (or as harmless as a person addicted to the only drug that can destroy nature's strongest instinct, motherhood, can be)but it's the trouble he almost certainly invites into his life that worries me. It only takes one little piece of street shit to see you two together for stuff to come your way. Say he owes somebody money cause he bought his crack on "credit." well, his friend looks like he has some money and they hang out...see where I'm goin' with this?
