Do You Have a Joint???It'd Be Better If You Did..
Today I woke up at 11:00 A.M. to watch the match between Germany and Sweden (For the record, the forward pair of Klose and Bodolski along with Ballack in the middle, might be good enough to get Germany to the finals. Germany beat Sweden 2-0.) After I had eaten a bowl of Lucky Charms, made myself some coffee, I watched the game 'til 1:00 and then took a shower, where I listened to a mixtape that I had made for Smeemo, featuring Rufus Wainwright, Blind Melon, Ted Leo & The Rx, and Badly Drawn Boy. I then drove down into town, smoking a Menthol Camel Light on the way there.
When I reached Front Street I first went into Horizon Books, where I contemplated buying Please Kill Me!" by Leg McNeil, but ended up getting Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. I then went to a head shop where I purcashed 3 dollars-worth of Frankencense scented Incense and bought my very first piece. She's a glass pipe that's about 6 inches long with a dome-like knob on the end and a shape that resembles a really tall and slender genie's bottle or the insides of a Grandfather Clock. I named her Janis because the pyschadelic patterns of the glass remind me of the album cover of Janis Joplin's Pearl. I then went to get a cup of coffee at a local cafe where I finished reading The Merchant of Venice. I wanted to have a cigarette with my coffee, but I left my lighter in my car. Later on, I got up and asked a woman who was smoking if I could have a light. She said sure, but only had a book of matches on her. While attempting to light the cigarette with my 4th match, I let the lit match get too close to the others and the entire matchbook went up in flames almost singing my hand in the process. I ended up lighting my cigarette on her ash, with the added statement that "I hope I don't get any lipstick on the end." This statement made no sense to me because her lips were on her filter and to get any lipstick on my cigarette she would have to swallow hers whole. This kind of shit happens to me all the time.
Then I bought a blue sweater-shirt form a vintage clothing shop for $13, got a new tank of gas, and went home. After a dinner of cherries and potato wedges I worked out and my Dad suggested we get a movie, so went out and rented The Family Stone. I had a some more coffee and smoked another camel before sitting down to the movie. The Family Stone was very enjoyable and well worth the purchase. I took a test-drive with Janis while sitting on the deck starring at Lake Michigan after the movie was over. And now I'm doing this.
