My acquaintance
This is a composition of NeGruzoviki project (translated as NotTrucks).
Translation is mine and I guess it is not very nice. It’s rather difficult to translate slang from russian into english and it’s difficult to keep the author’s style of speaking. So, any kind of comments and notes about mistakes are welcome.
My acquaintance hasn’t used subway for 4 years already,
he got a car,
he oils English Castrol and changes tires,
he doesn’t remember the color of a subway ticket and how to pass quickly from green to gray line,
he follows traffic lane marking, looks rear-view mirror,
tries to find out how to drive to Bering street, make a u-turn, return to home.
In his conception, offense is an easy and familiar process.
During each evening some excess may be left unnoticed, it’s not very interesting with him,
and probably we will find a moment and a place and make a decision to break off relation.
My another acquaintance is a producer of a group.
You might have heard them, they have DJ, guitar, drum sets,
a couple of videos on boob tube, two dozens of clients: powerful people, noticed in some kinds of fraud, swindle or corruption,
and a big number of other consumers of their production: they use subway, upload it to their iPod and do not see all the picture: that according to one very strange theory they will grow up in a healthy, able-bodied but cynical nation. However, they will be listening this composition happily.
Another acquaintance is a straight-ager, but drinks: hard and a lot, talks profusely, jokes, being sometimes repulsive in company, during the night he violates taboos on tricky subjects. He is against The System and God, always chooses not conventional way. He is always in war with “major”. And believe me, nothing reveals that he is a straight-ager. Unless he drinks. Unless he drinks.

My acquaintances are different people.
They are out of my sphere or relations, interests… Or may be we’d better apologize to the friend and nevertheless take a decision not to make the acquaintance.
And who needs to think about friendship, to think about friendship?
