rough rough time
my cat knew when i got home how upset i was, and i was quiet and sortof ignoring her trying to cuddle me. but when i realized she knew, i cried, and thanked the lord for her being so sweet to me and loving on me.
then i grit my teeth, made a box, put the most important things in it, and let it go.
i am never, letting this happen to me again, that's all i know
i have a document on my computer that i intermittently write in, so i sat and read for awhile.
driving to the biggest mall in the u.s. 2006 about a year ago. back seat, headphones. our lady of bells, here they all pretend. don’t know why it just fit so great. and i remember it
there is a chinese food restaurant next door and i’m broke and i ate the last of my food today and i think this is worse than numetal torture
6:02 and 58 minutes to go and there is a man with grey hair and an ipod with a purple backpack and he looked at me and there are flies in here and i really really don’t like flies.
cleaning up from a party. stale beer smell everywhere. gum stuck in the carpet. improvised pipes out of beer cans, vomit around the porcelain toilet. trash can half full of beer. constantly finding smashed beer cans shoved into different places. bedroom light shattered into pieces, bits of glass in the carpet, cigarette butts lining the porch. beer on the tv. carpet. walls. ceiling. rug is still wet with spilled whiskey. dirty linoleum. 4 bags of cans. wondering if it was worth it.
fixed record player, get up kids album. it skips but it doesn’t matter. so perfect right now. i don’t know what the fuck i’m doing with my life. who does right.
sitting on the couch outside, playing ukulele, cigarette in my fingers, strumming with my thumb and humming along, watching a young man with a yellow bag and skinny jeans cross the street in a hurried walk while checking his watch. mid verse i see a streak of grey out of the corner of my eye and hear a thump near my head. i realize that a little bird has mistaken the house behind me for a patch of blue sky, and slid down the wall into a corner near my front door. she was either a pigeon or a dove, but a pretty bird, and she sat there for a good five or six minutes, probably a little embarrassed, and when i went inside to get a glass of water, i guess she managed to compose herself and fly away. anyway i hope she’s alright.
