(no subject)
I cant sleep tonight...I thought I could but I laid down on the couch with my pillow...watching the second half of a documentary about Bob Dylan, and my heart is just beatin out of my chest. Almost like Im nervous about something but I dont know what. A shitty feeling. My day off was alright, Got a ticket on my way home after school, my 5 ticket now?...fuck. The cop was really nice though, I understand that he was just doing his job. And I was doing 85 in a 60. He said I was only doing 80 but I know I was going faster. but yea he pulled me over and told me to come sit in his car so I did...and we talked for a while, he asked me where I worked and was real curious about things I carve and this and that. Where I was coming from in such a hurry and what classes Im taking. Then he said he would only put I was going 70 so it wouldnt go on my record and the ticket would be 60 bucks cheaper...than he made it so Ill have to pay it by November 18th instead of October..I thought that was mighty nice of him. Before I got out of his car I told him "Maybe someday if you ever need an Ice Sculpture officer reynolds, I can give youuuu a break" and I went on my way. I need to stop speeding, I heard someone say a while back that "everyone is in such a rush to go nowhere"...I do that. Tomorrow is gonna suck cause Im gonna be wiped out from having no sleep.
Bob Dylan is more of a genius than Ive ever known....he was really really just, I dunno..an amazing person. Its too bad the media and his own "fans" gave him so much shit towards the end of his career, cause he wanted to break away from folk music a little bit. A news reporter actually asked him "Besides you, how many protest singer/songwriters do you think there are, just how many other singers like you are there that speak out..." something like that and Dylan goes "I think there are 136.." The reporter says, "you think or are you for sure" and Dylan just sarcastically says "either 136 or 142". For professional reporters they sure asked a lot of really stupid questions or ones that really nobody would want to dignify with an answer or would be able to answer. I dont know...Im thinkin about going to work right now, carving as much as possible and leaving in the late morning, but The Ice Block machines I have to tend wont be ready till late afternoon...and Ken wont want to do them..and I will be to tired. If I didnt have the ice machines Id leave right now. but, Im pretty fuckin bored.hmmm I took my comforter blankets to get dry cleaned thinking it would be 7-10 bucks to get each one done...shit, 25 a peice. BUT it was funny cause when I pulled up to the Dry Cleaning place so did Lee right behind me. Apparently he caters lunch to them everyweek, so we were both in there talking to the ladies working and the women gave me are gonna give me a discount cause I know him, hehe..weird that we both cross paths there at that time of day, nowhere near the house. I like when things like that happen. Lee and I will have a year clean and sober next month, amazing how we both go from almost killing ourselves, feeling horrible, dependent on chemicals day and night, imcompetent failures to Productive members of society, clean and sober..happy, talented, loving life guys. All I can say is its a miracle, and Im grateful....Thats all I really have to write,..if youve read all this give yourself a hug
