My friend has an escort agency now? When does morality kick in?

I get a call last night. My friend who I haven’t seen for about a year is parked outside my house unexpectantly. He wants to catch up..

I love my buddy. Good laughs, crazy adventures. However, he lies, he embellishes, some things are true, and many things are not true. In any case, he has a good heart. He has also had some rough experiences when he was younger. I think those experience kinda screwed him up.

I grab a bottle of my favorite scotch and bring it outside. I see he has arrived in his new cadillac.

“You want a dirty cigarette?”, he say’s

looking down at my e-cig I say, “yes”.

I then offer my favorite scotch to him. Catching up he shows me pictures of miss universe Canada. He tells me who he f**ked. Who this is and who that is..

High Rollers.. right?

One part of me say’s I could have lived this once. I decided to get married early on and miss out on partying in my twenties. I then got divorced, and more than a decade later I had the opportunity to do what I could have done in my twenties. I partied it up with my friend, but I never took it too far with women. Sex isn’t just getting off; at least to me.

The second time around, I found it was easy to speak to women. I could get inside their mind and capture their attention. I can talk to the most beautiful women with ease. But, for some odd reason I caught the marriage bug again. I could have been a player this second time around. I guess I wasn’t interested in the party life.

In any case, point blank he say’s, “I am now running an escort agency”.

I was like what? You are now a pimp?

I don’t even know if I believe him anyways, but then he continued on his rant about how the government are the biggest pimps around. They are the gangsters. I’m not sure if he was justifying what he is doing, or even what the connection was.

No one ever decided life would be easy, and that includes having no recollection of ever wanting to be born..

I wasn’t really sure what to say, but only that he was acting no differently. I don’t judge him as he is a friend, but we are on two completely different paths. I am married now with kids, and having a friend who is a “pimp” in many respects has got me at a moral crossroad.

• Yes, live and let live.

In any case, having a conversation with him was difficult. His phone kept on ringing incessantly. I invited him inside, but alas he had a new “adventure” to drive off too.

As he drove off, I knew I had made the right choice of settling down. The world of money and politics is full of corruption. I would rather watch it from afar and attempt to stay out of the spotlight.
