You will never be as happy as you are with a ticket in your hand.
I think that lyric was in a Tom Waits song called "Foreign Affairs". It's about how traveling is such a great state of being and people are always jealous of you.
Pete Laffin and I have been through a lot. I wish we could have gotten closer, but I'm sure he'll do well in Colorado. Everyone's leaving. I don't want people to go away, but I know it's probably for the best. Pete's a good guy. It's sad to think of not seeing him for years. It already sucks not having him at the Cubbyhole every Tuesday. Tim's great, but he's no Pete Laffin. That's for sure. And even Tim is leaving in August. All the brilliance is leaving Poughkeepsie.
If I had half a brain I'd get the fuck out of here too. Fuck school, fuck everything.
Just get on something with wheels or wings and go somewhere else for a while.
I'm gonna miss Pete so much. Oh well. I'll probably go write a song about it or something.
