Ernie came to visit us tonight. We haven't seen each other for almost five years, nor have we been in touch much for that time. Ernie and I used to work together as photographers in local tabloid newspaper. He is still there, I moved on. It was a strange evening, but in a good way. We reminisced a little, but mostly he told his tales about his many relationships gone wrong. For some reason, Ernie has problem staying in a relationship. Although, if you listen to him, the problem is on the other side. Either way it doesn't last.
He complains about the weight he gained, although he looks the same as years ago. Maybe I missed a period when he was skinny, but I don't think he ever was. Skinny, that is.
Although a lot has happened since the last time, Ernie somehow managed to stay the same. It's like he created a bubble around him where time doesn't move. It was a fun evening of burek and beer.
