Those who don't know your name.

Yes, I am a fan of meeting up with people I know over a beer and having a few or no laughs at all. I am also a fan of gatherings after rites of passage and all. In fact, I am a very sociable person, I am about to prove that. Mind you, the events that you are going to read about now are not events at all, not new at all, no. They are not new to me, not to you. You can stop reading now.
The notorious Cairo Downtown adds up to the component of my brain responsible for self-satisfaction. The location is thus a roof in an authentically old block in Downtown. People around the table I have known for quite a long time - that if you call 5 to 8 years quite a long time. The types of relations I had with them vary too, that's because I am a very sociable person I never let go of people, remember? (I am working on that already, no need for a doctor, but thanks). But because 2008 brings a new fashion of "belieflessness" and because I am a very fashionable person, I don't believe in the sacredness of friendship - not in the sacredness of anything earthly at all to tell you the truth. Therefore, I am free to admit that I felt alienated and bored. This evolved into instant obvious depression, the type you can't resist staring at its face, you know (pre-requires seeing my new haircut to know)? This was enriched and projected into a deeper alienation because of the evilness of vibes and voidness of speech.
He walks in and sits on a table for two, alone, next to the roof's wall. A few glances later, his beer has already been sipped on and the music in his music player has grown too intense that it can be overheard through the cheap speakers. Probably younger than myself, yet he has memories to rewind as he absolutely stares at nothing. At this particular moment, he has been closer than anything I succeed to remember. How dare I stare and scratch this majesty of this solitude?
Maybe when one should go, one should go alone, sit on a table for two, alone. A few minutes later, one's beer has already been sipped on. The music player will pour in favourite tunes through the cheap speakers, yet the notorious Cairo Downtown will give you beautifully dirty nothingness to stare at and rewind memories.
