when gosling entered my life, he brought along a friend. they met about eighteen months ago at the halfway house where they both resided before moving here. gosling's friend, whom we will call joseph, is in his early forties, unemployed, and possesses nearly two thirds of his teeth. i attribute this to his diet, which consists almost entirely of tubes of prefabricated biscuits and powdered sweet tea.
a devout mormon, he frequently invites me to bus over to the lds church on country club road with him and gosling on sunday mornings. the first time he extended the offer i demurred, telling him that i preferred the proximity of the timber hollow church. stooping beneath my repartee, he complimented my choice, informing me that the pastor at timber hollow is "a fine man," and asking me to witness with him on campus. this has left me in a bit of a position as i now have to either maintain the increasingly complex illusion of faith or confess that i've been jerking him around for the past couple weeks. maybe i'll just start hiding from him.
oh. here is a picture of his sweet tea jug, simply labeled "joe tea."
