The Wee Democracy

it's a smoot point

and i opened the door, and in the doorway there stood the thin man. his hand was lost in mine as they shook. fight club played in the background. such was the beginning of knowledge of the man known in certain circles as mark smoot.

i'll admit it, i didn't like mark when i first met him. it's not so much that i disliked him. i just didn't know him. i was firmly entrenched in my circle of friends, and i felt, perhaps, that i had room for no one who went to bed before midnight....on saturday night. it was awkward. but eventually, we got along. things built over the fall, built more in the spring, before peaking during the mavericks first playoff run in several years.

there was a time, when we went to go see 'traffic' at the dollar theater on a friday night, and ironically missed the movie because we were stuck in traffic. we bonded more over the summer, as he lived a mere two blocks away from me.

mark's the kinda guy who you hope that the best in life will find him. and you know that he hopes the same kind of good fortune finds you. he's honest when you talk to him.

we talk movies, we talk mavericks, we talk about life's struggles and complications. from the day's of the h-rod h-billies to the current skank williams incarnation found haunting the steps of WT special, the distinct flavor of mark smoot is easy to spot. and easy to quickly become enamored with.

although it was slow going for a period of time, the thing i can say about mark now is that i trust him implicitly. he's most certainly one of my best friends, and i know i can count on him for a hand on the shoulder at the right times. if there was some problem i had with a girl, likesay, perhaps she rejected me, i can count on him to sum it up with a prompt "bitch". lil smeezy, as he's known in the hip hop circle, is a good man. one of the best.
