Despite his best attempts at acquiring nothing he cannot leave behind, Brian has built a world with himself at its heart, a business that cannot live by Ted alone. A series of women who decided that he was their long-lost son. A circle of friends who danced with him, drank with him, ate with him, went to jail with him. A home he loves, a dance floor over which he lords his influence even after his concession of top fuck almost a year ago.

Love this paragraph. It sums it up so nicely without feeling like we're just reviewing the same-old same-old.

And he knows with a slight twinge of guilt that Michael has not come first in his universe for some time. That his best friend status, as monolithic as it once seemed, was eclipsed a half-decade ago by a streetlamp encounter with a blonde boy and his beaming smile.

This realization is so true to life. Reminds me of the movie Stand By Me. When the author at the end quotes, "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?"
