everyone must get paid
wow. what a day.
worked. after that, made my way home, and reconnected my xbox. i’m a lousy gamer these days.
bought a sandwich from the market. made face-time with the cashier. she’s pretty cute, but i came off like a weirdo, which is fine.
drank some pabst, hardwired my xbox, and headed out to 821.
more beer. had the pleasure of being introduced to alex m’s bestie. and boy did she give me the best advice. she had some eye-openers. talk about heartstrings.
came home, played some gears (quite poorly if i do say so myself), polished off another pabst, and now i’m ready for bed like future foes.
good night.
yes, i love you.

quick draw
sorry guys i don’t post much these days. but i do have a story for you.
some time ago i used to live in los angeles. and one day, as i was riding my bike to school, or to work, i happened to cross paths with some hoodlums. three, in fact. as i passed them, the thug in the middle spoke to me, stating
“how bad you want that bike?”
to which i responded
“bad enough.”
as i rode away i could hear his fellow hoodlums laughing at him. he might have lost some stripes.

the city that time forgot
i could get around
easily
on gumsoles and wooden planks
but
the wastelands are far too vast
for my tiny heart.

malcolm gladwell stole my girlfriend
so it would seem . . .
in other questionable news, i feel like i may have fully recovered from my head injury, yet with one noticeable difference. and that difference is, i have a hard time articulating my thoughts when i speak. more on that later.

it’s all in my head
so last, last sunday, i fell backwards down a pyramid at the skatepark and rang my bell pretty good. i was a bit disoriented after it happened and i had trouble putting sentences together for about an hour. my temples hurt and my scalp was bleeding. i contemplated going to the hospital but i wasn’t nauseous and i didn’t split my head open to where i was bleeding profusely. gabe was there for a second opinion, and he kept lookout. i was also comforted by a butterfly. last week was hazy to say the least. the fog finally lifted a few days ago, but i still don’t feel right. i’m at maybe 87%? i’ve much time on my hands now as everything has slowed down a bit, and i’ve been doing much thinking.
i can’t wait to feel normal again.

good to sea
in case you didn’t know, i really do like writing. i think i have like five books lined up. i’ve already finished one, sans publisher. spent some time thinking really hard about another that i would like to write, and had some meaningful conversation about writing one with my brother. but not with my brother, if you can follow that. i also rediscovered kcrw. and bbqed twice today. bbq egg sausage sandwich for breakfast, and ribs for dinner. yummy yummy yummy i got love in my tummy . . .

foolproof
i know someone
like that
with two brackets
one for fools
i know not the other.
i wish i had a place like you
a home for my heart
a place to lay my head.
but
my home is my heart
and my head.
i know you.
i met you in middle school
when everything was big and scary
yet we were much too smart for that.
in my life
i have half-stepped once
i have second-guessed twice.
and just when i shake hands with time
everything close seems far away.

sure as sin
today was decently awesome. woke up, did some light yoga, went to the coffee shop, had a coffee and some breakfast. read some more of malcolm gladwell’s “blink.” that book is actually alright. but it isn’t anything i’m not aware of. i’m still waiting for that “aha!” moment.
met up with james, headed to the skatepark, did some tricks. rolled out with steve cuellar and company from there to the china banks, and a few other chinatown spots. had a pizza at fly bar with two pints to boot as the rain came down.
now i’m home, making friends with a tall can of tecate and you should fill in the blanks.
remember when dorks were actually super-cool and nerdy and had all the answers and knew how to spell and use words you never heard of? it is sad, really, now, because dorks today are nothing like that. today’s dorks aren’t any of those things anymore. they over-think everything, and spend way too much time pondering what it means to be “cool” and do foolish things that make them look stupid, all the while dorks of yesterday understand that there really is no such thing as “cool.”
