i know you might roll your eyes at this
wow. i've made a decision. not listening to by the grace of god is kind of lame.
i'm home, and thus far, really happy about it. school work is all done, including a total of 50-odd written pages constituting 3 final papers, which all suck to some degree. if you want to read some incredibly interesting, well-reasoned, and all-around awesome theoretical pieces about skateboarding and its relation to urban public space and architecture, check out iain borden. if you want to read 27 pages of similar subject matter, including a dubious-at-best connection to the renewal of democratic forms in urban america, and want all 27 pages of said reading to suck, i suggest you check out my paper. SKATE OR DIE MOTHERFUCKERS.
but that shit is done. the summer is treating me well so far. i'm working at a restaurant supplies/food distributor warehouse full-time but it relatively awesome. hours are good, i have nights and weekends off, pay is decent, and i should have more than enough saved up by the end of the summer to finance my semester in the netherlands this fall. thats kind of the overriding goal of my summer this year- don't fuck anything up so i can enjoy a few months of time traveling around europe. does anyone know any really amazing places i should visit for weekends or travel breaks in western or central europe? EU nations, preferably... i'll definitely be traveling to amsterdam, paris, and florence and am strongly considering barcelona and prague. = fuck yes.
first shows back in maine have been good fun. ALOL + red chord + contra last night was rad. i love these fucking kids here. dustin litchfield, thank you for existing. i love you lots, in a socially acceptable, cool, heterosexual sort of way. i'm psyched for a lot of things this summer, and many of them involve hanging out with kids i saw last night who have first initials such as d, r, e, h, m, t, w, c, j, et al. thanks kids, you make me proud to be from maine. don't even think i don't represent to the fullest when i'm not here. this fall i will have every dutch boy and girl just KNOWING that maine is the best united state there is.
i realized today that i want to drive for a while alone and listen to music, then reach my destination where i would find a person or some persons that i am genuinely excited to see. we would hang out and have fun and probably laugh and maybe talk about some serious shit even and just be comfortable and friends. we might go somewhere special or perfectly ordinary or ride bikes or climb trees or do cartwheels in the grass or probably eat, because i like to do that. later i would drive alone home and listen to music and think about how awesome things were for just being things. thats something i want.
and we know who we should love, but we're never certain how.
