Tis been a while

Hola
It has been a while, but an emergency has arisen and I only noticed that said emergency when I was dancing with my cat. Yes repeat the last line, dancing with my cat. He is a good dancer but that isn't the problem, can you guess what it is yet?
Fellow amigos, and the fact that I have very few over here. In fact I can count them on one wrist, it's a strange old world. Here I am in a cracking city with a girl that I love, I'm not working and I have time to do the things that I want, but, and here is the crunch, I need fellow amigos to do nothing with. Oh you poor bastard I hear you cry, but imagine winning the lottery and having nobody to spend the money with, allow me to transgress. Tonight myself and Silvia ( me novia ) went out with a bunch of her friends, all sweet, fine and dandy. Followed them to bars, spoke in Spanish (pidgin or otherwise ) but still able to converse, and then it hit me. I have fuck all in common with these people, even if I was fluent in Spanish, the chat is all down to memories and old times, which is exactly what these people were on about, and no matter what I knew or what I didn't, it would've made no difference. All I wanted was someone to go ¨remember that time you spewed ( that is the corrrect spelling, I just looked it up ) all over such and such a bar¨. That makes a difference, it's a point of reference, we can all say¨fuck yeah that was blah blah¨. Well tonight I needed a Big John or a Cormac or a Rick or a Jamie just to butt in and help the conversation flow.
So it hit me, no matter how many times I get pissed with Silvias friends, it just aint going to be the same, until I get my own group of pals. How fucking hard is that?
Piece of pish.
Is it fuck.
Even when I do speak the same language I still find it difficult, there are so many barriers to gauge with new ¨friends¨. Some fuckwit once said¨ no one can have too many¨. What a pile of steaming horseshit. That statement only meant something when you were at school and it was a popularity contest, well it aint. A friend, in my opinion, is someone you can say absolutely anything to, or absolutely nothing to, and if you have more than five then you are either exteremly lucky, or a liar.
Ah baws, maybe it's the Jim kicking in, or maybe I need to have a boogie.
The cat may report on the dance moves.
