Somebody That I Used To Know

As Valentine's Day crept closer I wanted to share a new story. It's been a bit over a year since my last post and wouldn't you know; I received a little Valentine's surprise email today.


I am still single. Still in the city. And now loving everything going on in my life.



And then it happened.


Despite hearing, through the grapevine(aka Facebook), that he is now engaged, I received a Valentine's email from a certain someone. Perhaps I should tell him I moved to Costa Rica and now have three Tico children. Or maybe tell him I relocated to Staten Island and am now married to the mob--those ladies seem like they are making some good money. The truth just doesn't seem as entertaining, but I do still smile when glancing around my new Murray Hill studio. Yes, it's true--my apartment. I was sitting here in my apartment on my cozy bed, listening to Goyte, when this appeared...suddenly in my inbox:

Hi Frankie,

I was just cleaning up and throwing out old contacts when I found your name and email address- I didn't even know I had.

I thought I'd ask what became of you, and where you are in the world.

Warmly,
Lucifer

Dumbass guys always reach out to their ex-girlfriends after they make serious commitments to their current girlfriends.

Hmmmm...thank goodness he is only somebody that I used to know.
