Ironic that I caught a cold on the last day of winter, making my first day of spring a constant struggle. I got off work, ate some soup, and have been sitting in my bed since, smoking weed and trying to sleep to pass the time. I don't mind being sick terribly much - it gives me an excuse to lay around, guiltless and read or watch movies. Today, I read a little of an essay on the film "Salvator Giuliano." I really liked the film even though it was rather dense. This girl I met the other day made mention of The Bell Jar, so i've been also reading a little of that. When i was sick of reading, i watched Paris, Texas. I thought the end was beautifully done. Maybe I'll write a better entry when i'm better...

this has been my luck of late. Eating at Friendly Center the other day, I came across a sweet looking pen just laying on the table beside me. I put it in my pocket, only later to have it pointed out as being a mont blanc. I feel like i will be obligated to write more with a utensil like that. Last night I got absurdly drunk with some old acquiantances. It was interesting, but I don't know if it was worth sleeping in till noon, completely missing work. When I finally called in, they told me not even bother coming. I made the best of the situation though and laid in bed reading for an hour and then, still laying, rocking out to Patti Smith and Sonic Youth for next three hours. I've forgot how nice Saturday is without any responsibility.

I want to make a horror film. Any idea/suggestions to what it could be about?

I have high hopes for this year. Everything around me has changed and it kind of excites me. I have no resolutions really, but there are some things that I think are going to change for the better in the next coming months. I ate my black-eyed peas - I should be o.k.

Hotel Chevalier

I thought this short was beautiful. For something release exclusively through iTunes, I was throughly impressed. Of course, it is Wes Anderson. A nice prelude to his new feature length.

Not only is the artwork fun, but so is the music!

I find that's it hard to make a real update, because i have no idea who actually reads this. i don't want to waste your time or mine.

it seems that all school is doing for me lately is reminding me that i live in a world of ignorant and inconsiderate idiots. today, i was so shaken by some of the stupid shit said by students today in my political science course. Whatthe fuck is this? I thought we were all done with the bullshit: "the flag is a symbol of freedom - you can't burn it!" or "i think everyone should go back where they came from and die!" I looked at the girl and thought to myself "you first."

I read the other day that only one in four adults read a book a year. Its amazing, the people who do read don't just read one book either, they read numerous books. It's like either you want knowledge or could care less about it. I feel indebted to myself to read, and its kind of depressing to see others don't. I told someone the other day that i liked Hemingway and they seriously didn't know who he was. too bad for them.

Fuck the Smashing Pumpkins - Pavement Forever!

After drinking until 5 a.m., i found myself waking up at 9:30 a.m. I was suppose to be at work at 9:00. So i scrambled to get my shit together for work and made it there at around 10:00. Turns out that the truck with all the food wasn't even there yet and it was completely fine that I was an hour late. I even got an extra 15 minutes to read the paper in the smoke room.
Story of my life.

Even a stopped clock is right twice.

2007-04-23T20:57:26Z

Today I was sitting in my room after just getting back from class and I stared at the ceiling not paying attention to the time. I must of been there for quite sometime, but all of a sudden I had the urge to smoke a bowl. So, I smoke the shit and look at the clock - it says 4:24. It was like my biological clock was set for 4:20. Personally, I am fine with this.

On another note, my birthday is coming up this Friday , where I make my way into adulthood. But a question comes to mind: Now that I will be a man, when is the right time to give up smoking pot? Can you smoke this shit all the way up until you die? I know some people say they will, but unless you are famous, are seen as you just a druggie, a failure? I mean, Hemingway was the most masculine author I've ever read, and he stuck strictly to the drink.

Either way, I suppose it's all inebriation.

If its yellow, let it mellow. If its brown, flush it down.

i found these events at work to be quite ridiculous:

First, there's the guy in the bathroom. I personally didn't witness this, but apparently on thursday this guy was in the mens room sitting on the toilet with a mirror, beside the urinal and as men would come and take a piss, he would position the mirror in a way to observe them and then proceed to beat off to it. Finally, one guy told management and the guy was stopped.

Then there's the stripper during furniture market week. I come in to work one day and the guys from produce ask me to watch this security video. So i'm sitting there watching it and see this really hot stripper and middle aged man fondling each other in the aisles. It even goes so far where the man pulls out one of the strippers boobies and starts licking and playing with it. But the best part came when it was time to check out. While the man checked out, the stripper went over to the Harry the Dragon ride and started riding it - and i mean RIDING it. Soon, the man comes over, and we have the two giving Harry a good old time.

The best part is the footage we have of our night shift manager standing, just looking at them with his jaw down.

This man here holds the future...

"...there's the Armor meat factory, the paper mill, the railroads..."

My father continued listing the various businesses in St. Joseph until he finally finished: "...but that was 30 years ago."

He told me that thirty years ago there were comic book stores, newsstands, theaters - the town was somewhat thriving. However, all the industry left - it relocated and left the town without jobs and commerce. From what I gathered it seems to be the union that failed them. All the years the companies complied with their demands until one day they just simply said, "suck it."

Now every other building downtown is either for sale or being knocked down. The biggest park in the city is getting worse and worse each year. The water in the lake is getting lower and lower. I once remember riding paddle boats in the lake, but they took those out and closed off the dock. I finally took the time this visit to read the plaque on top on one of the buildings in the park. It explained that the building was to be a castle with a fine dining restaurant and a recreation hall on top - it was abandoned in 1927.

The trendiest/nicest place in the city is their Friendly Center equivalent located outside the city. I saw more kids at the Target there then i did at the art showing in the middle of downtown. Granted, the art was bad, but still...

i feel like i'm living "the Graduate" these days. i'm back home for the summer from college and i just lay around all day. my parents ask what i'm doing constantly and i only reply with "drifting." the only thing i'm missing is a mrs. robinson. i'm going to have to start spitting more game at the teeter - one of those mothers are bound to give in.

who's still here in greensboro?

i'm out of things to say for the time being......

CHARLEY

What do you weigh these days, slugger?

TERRY

...eight-seven, eighty-eight. What's it to you?

CHARLEY

Gee, when you tipped one seventy-five you were beautiful. You should've been another Billy Conn. That skunk I got to manage you brought you along too fast.

TERRY

It wasn't him! It was you, Charley. You and Johnny. Like the night the two of youse come in the dressing room and says, "Kid, this ain't your night— we're going for the price on Wilson." It ain't my night. I'd of taken Wilson apart that night! I was ready—remember the early rounds throwing them combinations. So what happens— This bum Wilson he gets the title shot— outdoors in the ballpark! – and what do I get— a couple of bucks and a one-way ticket to Palookaville. It was you, Charley. You was my brother. You should of looked out for me. Instead of making me take them dives for the short-end money.

CHARLEY

I always had a bet down for you. You saw some money.

TERRY

See! You don't understand!

CHARLEY

I tried to keep you in good with Johnny.

TERRY

You don't understand! I could've been a contender. I could've had class and been somebody. Real class. Instead of a bum, let's face it, which is what I am. It was you, Charley.
