dear baby bret,

1. hope you have a good birthday.
2.  you deserve it.
3.  because one time you shredded your t-shirt (and maybe your pants) and pinned them back together with safety pins to play in the misfits cover band a few halloweens back.  the night ruth allison wouldnt play her set.  i think we left and went to cracker barrel.
4.  it was almost as good as the night quinn and i walked into the practice room to borrow the korg and caught you loving a lady.  with your bedroom door open.  (awesome.)  there is something to say about the ease, comfort, and humiliation that comes with close friends.
5.  i just remembered that you lent me an e.e.cummings book that i never returned.  i think you inherited it from hiro.  i regret not giving that back, but i promise to pay it forward.
6.  the first time we met, i opened up the door on 429 e and there you were, standing on the doorstep.  for book club.  you were wearing a grey hoodie.  i have noticed that you only wear monochromatic clothing and underwear.
7.  i have noticed that you look good in black jeans.  
8.  maybe the next time i see you you will have the star wars sleeves you drool about.  or maybe you and johnny will have given each other more crappy self-done pen tattoos.  of straight lines.  or squares.
9.  bummerwolf.
10.  i saw team america world police with you for the first time.  and i think that we both felt that patriotic spark.

keep on keeping on.

love you, c (+q)
