There is this person I know...
after I knew him for a long time, never talking to him, never acknowledging his presence, he all of a sudden started talking to me.
A lot.
He made a point of always saying hi if I was around.
I would reply sometimes. Usually not.
Then we got into a conversation. It was about his chick. I talked to him about it.
Really just the place for him to vent. Not a real talk.

SO then that was over.
Last week, he messaged to ask if I was okay (apparently geography isn't his strong point. DC is 4 hours away (3 if you drive like I like) and nothing else could have happened to me around here... I'm *white* after all) and then I think later in the week with something else.

The reason I don't respond...
he sends things like this...

ZYX: VELCRO MADNESS!

and if it wasn't everytime, it might make me crack a smile.
Some people need a new schtick.
Or they just need to stop pretending that they give a shit and bugger off.
