An unknown soilder weeps in the forest of echoes, as the fallen king rises again...
I'm awake, and thankfully not at Dolphin Mall. I managed to buy a brand new professional Honher Special 20 A Key Harmonica(fuch yes), some guitar strings, and a copy of MGS 2: Innocence.
I then went to Borders and read a bunch of good manga until the store closed. I then dragged my ass out, and spent about two hours looking for a bus. All the roads to the bus stop I wanted--which was not at Dolphin--seemed to be pointed in an ominously dark forest. Through wandering inside and outside Dolphin Mall at night, I came to two conclusions...
1) Dolphin Mall looks like the next Town and Country. Or maybe every abandoned mall looks the same?
2) Walking on the empty roads on the outside of Dolphin Mall makes you feel like the world has ended, and zombies are about to descend from the forest to finish you off.
I (finally) decided to call a taxi, after wasting an hour wandering the surrounding area of Dolphin Mall. The lady on the phone sounded like she had long brown hair, an annoyed/depressed look on her face, and a tissue in her nose. I waited for the Taxi with a mixture of fear and alertness. I was expecting to get a big creepy guy who would threaten me with Conspiracy Theory's and then attempt to rape/murder me--as movies and TV has educated me. I was kinda thrown off guard, as I got an old guy who was generally agreeable and told me that most of the history we talk about is Greece, Persia, etc. The cab was almost like a normal car, just with some devices attached. The credit card processing system seemed very antiquated. I can see why cabs wouldn't be such a big money venture.
But these are all minor trifles.
I mean, America is pretty much fucked over right? I found out that Bush was winning when I called Jorge when I got home. Then it was verified when I watched CNN in a room that was not mine with people who were eating Tyson frozen chicken strips.
I found out from my professor that what he predicted was right: a lot of the 18-29 yr. old voters wouldn't have patience to wait in the lines. Only 1 out of 10 new registered voters actually voted!(correct me if i'm wrong)
It's crazy to think of the amount of people that are distraught/pissed off right now. Crazy as fuck...
And fuck's pretty fucking crazy.
