Mr. Smith I presume...

Dear Adam,

Man it seems like you have been gone forever. I can’t actually recall the last time I spoke to you, but I can assume it was at the café, at the bar, with Colonel Mustard, and the candlestick. In anycase, I remember meeting you way back when working the overnight at the café. We had some kind of conversation about Bjork and how you just moved here and what not. You had poofy yellow hair if I remember correctly.

You were always the optimist when you were here, quick with a smile and usually politely argumentative. It was always nice to know all I had to do was bring up an ethics based conversation and the game was afoot. Knowing me, most of the time is was some grandiose blanket statement about the nature of humanity, and you would retort in the negative citing exceptions, then I would backtrack a little with a statement like “clearly there are exceptions” and then towards the end “what the hell do I know anyways.”.

I have seen you get frustrated a few times, but as always you managed to rein it in and maintain composure. To be honest I half expected at some point that your head would explode from the effort. The café is always a hot-bed of idiocy, and on good days I got to be King Tard leader of the shit-spreaders. You however always took the side of patience and consideration. That one should understand the nature of the conversation being had, and not respond unless that response was sound and well considered. Frustrating as that may be, to one as bombastic as I, it was always nice to have a Hobbes to my Calvin in these matters.

All in all I still count you as a friend despite the lack of interaction. You were an irritant some days, as I am certain was I, but some of the best friendships are forged in such ways. I have had next to no contact with you through fb, but that is unsurprising. I assume your unfriending will go unnoticed for a few days, but feel free to send me your email just incase so that we may occasionally compare note should we happen to be in the same area for some reason.

Today was a great day, but tomorrow our FBfriendship will end,

Curt
