This song always makes me feel so inexplicable...

Happy Cinco de Mayo.

Kassie called and invited me and Markus over, but I really don't feel like drinking. She even offered to drive me to work in the morning, but I kind of like the walk. It only takes 30 minutes, so I'm not losing out on too much sleep.

I get paid tomorrow. I think I'll hit Wally World after work. I'm running low on the necessities, like AAA batteries and kitty litter.

I'm going to try and buy only the things I need (aside from a couple presents for Nathaniel, and a t-shirt for myself... but the t-shirt really doesn't even count, since it's only going to cost me like $4). I'd like to go to Coachella next year, so I figure I should start saving now. I suck at saving.

On the walk home today, I was thinking back to last summer... how things were then, and how they will be this year. Most of my friends are gone for one reason or another (either moved away, turned insane, a little of both)... Stephanie, Gwynn, Santos, Jacob, Nathaniel... It's just me, Mark, and Kassie this year. No shenanigans to be had. It's for the best though. Our lifestyle last summer was outrageous. Not a night went by that we weren't fucked up on something. It was definitely an adventure. None of us have the cash flow that we did last summer though. New jobs, new mindsets... there goes the fun.

Nathaniel comes into town next Sunday. It will be nice to see him. He calls me every night to tell me goodnight, but it's obviously not the same.

----------------------------

Blanketed in your small-town feel
You're curled up and wrapped around
The only way out of here...
Doesn't it sometimes feel like
We're all living under the same small roof?
You and I... running out of places to
Steal away
Wipe our eyes
Clean off our faces
Act like fools
And there just isn't time
To bash down the door with our fists
So small
Compared to the emptiness beyond

--------------------------------

I know you are not numb to me
Not yet
You can still feel me
Across the arms
As you turn around again
To face what you hoped would not be there
But always
Is
