Eight eff'n days and counting!!!
Is it wrong to be concerned?
I went to Blockbuster on Friday to get a movie for me and my friends (PS. Derailed = AWESOME, Prime = AWFUL) and learned that JJ has been a total slacker lately. When Abercrombie closed a few weeks ago, he went back there to work and apparently wasn't even doing any work. He slacked off whenever the boss wasn't around and took advantage of working with his friends. JJ was supposed to be working Friday night, but never showed up and then on Saturday I got a phone call from a friend saying that he "quit" aka stopped showing up and screwed everyone over.
I don't know what JJ is doing with his life. He's a super senior at Kingsborough now and never seemed to have much drive to do well in his classes (one of the reasons that I didn't stay with him). I don't know if he's graduating this year or if he's even pursuing going to the Police Academy. All he seems to care about is his dart league and getting trashed.
Getting trashed. When I saw JJ over winter break he was drunk off his face and when the party we were at ended, he kept drinking by himself. I asked what the fuck was up and he simply justified it with a "I drink my sorrows away". It's not once and awhile, but practically every night that he does this. JJ got so drunk last week that he and his dart buddies started punching each other (for fun) and he didn't realized until he sobered up the next day that he broke a few bones in his hand.
So, yes, I'm concerned. JJ has been on a downward spiral for the last few months. I want to see him, slap him in the face and just force him to explain himself, but I know I can't. He's got an (18-yr-old) girlfriend now who needs to be there for him in a way that I can't. And if I were her, I would hate the ex who was "butting in" when really I genuinely want to help.
Too confusing.
