locals okay, here goes. this ex-con (not as scary as he sounds) needs a lot. some people he's rubbed the wrong way with his painfully blunt (see: rude) manner of speaking, some guy friends he's really had to lean on before and after his stint in county jail, a messy fling that may/may not have been to piss his ex off, and a business owner willing to give him a shot despite his record.
