The worst thing about packing is that it leads to unpacking.

8/20/07

In an earlier Away Message I claimed: I am a big believer in Free Stuff.
Yet I hate packing, which is bad because it consists of being Free and having Stuff.
I’m not sure which the problem is: believe, or I am.

It has taken me 3 years for me to realize that this is just like junior year, last year was just like sophomore year, and 2 years ago was just like freshman year.

“A[], where y’at? I wish you pick up the phone.
‘Cause I need my money straight up. I mean,
Do I got to come up to Pizza Hut?
Or do I need to meet you and my sister
Down there so we go to your babysitter?
Which one is it? I mean, call me back.
Let me know something. ‘Cause the way I feel,
I feel like you just trying to dupe me
Now. You and that little a-rab. So…
I ain’t gonna let that ride, though, you dig?
You need to call me back. <long pause>

That’s 50 bucks you owe me. Fuck, I know you.
I don’t want that. I want my money, man.”

Keep coming back.
“…Did you hear about Vegas…”
Not this year.
“…A grey is starting to plague us / And it won’t be long…”
Almost over.
“…You just do what you do just to survive…”
Be lucky.
“…Holding out for something I can’t feel…”
Be independent.
“…Yes, and I’m so gone…”
A place where I can live.
“…My feet just drag me home…”

50 Euros : 50 Gyros :: Gyro House : Our House.

“Basically, whoever gets there first should order 3 gyros.”
That’s a good idea on principle.

Connections made, missed, found, lost, and broken.

“…And what do we think we might see…”
