"Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "save us!" ... And I'll look down and whisper "no."
Something about the night that is very pensive. I find that everything as a senior is ridiculously bittersweet. And I know that at the end of it all, the most precious memories I'll have at college will involve sitting on the front porch of the Chi Phi house until the wee hours of the morning just reminiscing about old friends, old conflicts, and old memories. Sitting on the edge of a rickety bench trying to figure out what our futures should hold and what to make of this silly maze we call life. And then the sun peaks. And at the end of it all, you realize that the satisfactory truth is that the sun will always rise, ready to renew life... the snake will always eat his tail.
I really do love college and actually living at the house has already made this one of the greatest years for me. I really need to find time to use facebook more and connect with other friends again. For I will always greet a friend with a hug and it's as if no time has passed for me. But the small wrinkles and mature features would attest to the opposite.
And so it goes.
