Outside is scorching hot. The weather can be unpredictable most of the time. Hot and sunny in the morning then heavy downpour ensues later in the afternoon all of a sudden. Making plans for an outing can be a pain sometimes. He switches the kettle on, in preparation of his caffeine fix. He needs it because he believes that the legal ‘speed’ will make his brain functioned. Scientifically proven? He just doesn’t care.

He’s expecting a friend who will be coming any minute now. That buddy called him earlier and he agreed to meet him. They have known each other for ages. They are quite close because this friend of his, used to wear his t-shirts, bands t-shirts mostly, without even asking. That’s how close they have been. And they are still close now. Only that his friend no longer taken any of his t-shirt anymore. Apparently his friend got to be a few size bigger. That’s what carbs can do to u. Scientifically proven? He just doesn’t care.

The friend arrives in his old but well maintained Japanese sedan. The car is still damn good for its age. He’s been on it for a few times. It’s comfy. Just comfy. He offers his friend with a cold drink. They are talking about few stuff mostly about some new band emerging from their town. The band is currently the talk of the town. Maybe. Or maybe it’s just a hyped up thing because of the works of social medias. But later the conversation suddenly revolves about his future. He tried to steer the conversation away from this particular topic but his friend’s intention was all good and he just need to listen for any proposals that might be of his interest. The thing is that he’s been quite skeptic with business proposals because the idea of running a business seems far fetched from reality. Everybody is making it sounds so easy to do. Convincing people about how a certain business system works and will definitely hit big numbers in a specific timeframe. But in the end, it’s just business rhetoric and no one is gaining anything except time loss, no returns and the end of friendships. Usually in the end things get really nasty. All in the name of business. Scientifically proven? He just doesn’t care...
