What Happened To...?

  • HONEA, ERIC
  • (OG:) Eric was this guy.....Wait..no..let me restart. Eric was this dude. Yeah..that's the word. Dude. He was this dude who was all into guitars and lemonade and shit, right? Yeah, dude. That's right. He was also, like, half Thai..which made him Jeff "I'll smack you in your lip, bitch" Breen's best friend for a while (Jeff was also part Thai). My most vivid memory of him was seeing him at Lollapalooza '93. He was drinking lemonade and ran right into my outsretched fist, which ripped his lip open. He didn't even feel it, and then proceeded to kiss my feet and call me "god". Later on, after regaining his senses, he came back to a mosh pit I was in and punched me in the mouth, ripping my lip open. He had this smile on his face when he did it, though, that calmed me down. "Just gettin ya back, man." He said, and walked away.
    (AX:) Just days after I told Deva I didn't want to date her, she met Eric. Thus began her transformation into the hippie/lemonade kid thing that she ended up being into. I didn't know the guy very well, but I know he started her on that path. The first night Deva tried lemonade, Eric and I were both at her house. She walked up to me, eyes glazed over, saying, "I hope you don't hate me". Eric, who was basically propping her up, said, "be careful, man. Don't make her have a bad birthday". Well, I told her I hated her and screamed a few times. Just to be funny, of course. It was a bad night already at that point.

    STATUS:

    (OG:) Eric has just graduated Georgia State University (where I go), and he's a completely different person. He's clean, short-haired, well kept, and clean. No shit. Really. He has perfect manners, and has turned out to be a pretty good guy. The world, it seems, is full of surprises...
    (AX:) I think that Lollapalooza '93 was the last time I saw him. He was funny like a mad fucker. I'm glad to hear he's changed. He has since communicated with us via this site, and has enjoyed much success in the business world. Who'd have thought he'd graduate before Santiago?
