whatever it is you think you are, you aren't a good friend; unique, well read, good
looking, or smart. well now you know. i hate to be the one to bare such bad news.
i know it hurts to hear but it's true. you don't mean anything to anyone, but me.
even i think that you're blinded by conceit. now you know, that free beer and basement
shows don't mean you've made it. it's what you do, not who you were or what you wear
or where you've been...so do something. whoever you think is watching you dance from
across the room, they aren't. if anything they feel sorry for you because you try so
hard. i know it hurts to hear, but it's the truth so you might as well hear it from a
friend. your'e a has been, that never was. and i know it's mean to say, but it's
something i've been meaning to say to you for awhile. you're a has been, that never was,
or will be.
