Notes from a Friend's Town

I woke up this morning and as I manuevered my way into the bathroom, I looked in the mirror & my reflection disappointed me. This usually happened in my teen years when I had some crazy dream that I'd awake looking like Morris Chestnutt or whomever was the latest & greatest black man that moved women into a frenzied trance of emotion. The let down was always made manifest as a red zit somwhere on my face. Nothing like a little harmonial imbalance to re-introduce reality into the situation. This morning there was no zit or blackhead to take what little wind that was available out of my lungs as my palms were shocked into action by the cold porcelain face bowl where my all of my morning ritual(s) take place. The morning had long since made itself known, I was bit tardy in my salutations. For the first time I looked into my own eyes, covered in infamous morning crust, you the crust that one kid still had on his face at lunch time. If we'd known how rough his mornings rea...

It's still there. I'm still here. I'll update the blog better once the semester comes to a close. until next time: 1. By the time her friends decided to interfere, I'd already completed my objective. 2. Get over yourself ack. I'm sure you're worth the hype but thats only in your mind. On second thought keep at it, if nothing else you make small talk slightly larger. 3. I soo need that gathering tonight. Dinner with a small group of friends should be the national past time. (after major league sports of course) 4. Why does it feel like school interefers with the studying I want to do? 5. Just because I'm majoring in english literature does not mean I've read (heard of even) every major author from every minor literary moovement in the last century. 

The Best Method!!

It would be naïve of me to assume that we would never have those annoying obligatory exchanges. The ones where the “right” questions are posed in succession with the calculated but slightly random 7-10 second pause as the list is covered. I’d rather sporadic honesty much more than regular calculated concern. Forgetting events/people/places isn’t actually that bad….I usually forget where my cell phone & keys were last. Those are of immediate importance I made a concerted effort to not speak in class today in an effort to make sure that the opinions that aren’t voiced when I speak were heard. I made it all the way to the last 10 minutes & blah. I spoke. There is no reason why I’m nervous every time I do this but I am. The more advanced notice, the more I fret over it. I’ve begun to upset my friends with what has been deemed unnecessary nagging concern. So in an effort to at the very least glimpse at a b...

Chapman on Stucco by Banksy 1. I'm so glad we made amends & that you signed the peace treaty. Watching your eyes well up with tears upset me. 2. Too much coffee + too late at night = a literal memory dump for a dream sequence 3. Working harder makes us better do it faster stronger. seriously it does. 4. Binder clips are my friends. No really, they work wonders.  5. Spring has sprung and I'm over winter. I asked her why the long face and she just gave me the cold shoulder. 6. I think I speak for all of us when I say, I'm glad it appears that this one maybe around awhile. It was getting a little more than annoying hearing you complain about being lonely. 7. I'm back @ it again. Look at the rabbit run when you open the pen.  8. Where's Waldo? I have his other shirts & I'm sure he could use shower & a nap. 9. The lamb is close enough to smell but she hasn't arrived yet... 10. I should've gotten a copy of the picture before I gave it to you. Perha...

I’m having the dandiest time forgetting those cute little pet names that I employed some time ago when it was appropriate. I’m not upset that time has passed but I don’t really enjoy being reminded of it without requesting it. I want what I didn’t have in the first place but I won’t ignore this consolation prize (which is ofno consolation at all) 2 Green thumbs down for the end of winter. I was really enjoying those cold @$$ mornings!! Somebody get me Jack Frost’s #(s) ASAP!! I’m not too keen on following domestic policy, as it changes & develops more & more every few hours but it appears that the same problems have been on the table since Bush Sr. was in office well over 20 yrs ago. Would somebody please find Safe Adu, beg her to take a break from her wonderful life & make one last studio album? Suggest that she doesn’t collaborate with Mr. West; we don’t want to waste any new material. There was a time when being Nerdy wasn’t the business, now it appears that the more of ...
