The Morning After
A ringing phone wakes me, I open my eyes and they slowly take focus. I look over at the phone and it’s a friend checking up on me. It stops ringing. I put the phone back down and the table is covered in a combination of empty Trojan Magnum wrappers, Dos Equis bottles, some weed and an empty cigarette pack. In the air there is a smell of perfume, purple haze, sex and maybe a little bit of madness. I get up off of the couch in the back of studio and hit the space bar on the keyboard. My ears are greeted with a warm, rich sounding bass in a mix I had been working on the night before. I throw a couple files onto my iPhone, grab a pair of headphones and head into the studio lounge. I find a heavily tattooed red headed woman sitting on the couch. She gets up, hands me a perfectly rolled joint, takes my phone and saves her number. She opens the door, looks me in the eyes and asks me to call her. I reply with a kiss and close the door. I plug my headphones in and scroll to a song I was working on. I light up the joint. The iPhone starts to play the song and I start to inhale. A thought strikes my mind at that point…”It was all worth it!”
