little big town
well, i guess Glen Ellyn and the surrounding areas don't exactly qualify as big towns, but you get the picture. I keep running into people i know at work, people from past jobs, people my brother knows, etc...just makes me think it's time to get the hell out. This observation was brought on by the fact that i keep seeing my ex around town. mr. nicholas thierry kleemann and his little gal pal. it's amazing, after months of no trace of him whatsoever, he seems to be everywhere now. just saw him dropping her off today at the Homegoods in Danada Square West, led me to think maybe she works there. and if she still works at Spencers, that godforsaken place, then that means we're work neighbors at both jobs we hold. amazing. i waved to him, but he was pulling away, didn't see me. but i'm pretty sure they did see Raymond, myself and our friend Ryan at that McDonald's in Villa Park/Lombard on the 4th of July. we sure as hell saw them. saw them pull in, sit in the parking lot for a while, saw them pull out and drive away, then make another round of the lot about 10 minutes later. odd how far some people will go to avoid confrontation. cracked us the hell up. then there was the time at the beginning of the summer when we saw him pull into the white hen on roosevelt rd. right down the way from his place, if he's even still there. I missed it but Ray didn't and when i turned back to look, i didn't have to even see his face, i knew from that lumbering swagger and the hunch of his shoulders it was him. you don't spend 3 1/2 years with someone and not pick up on their body language. crazy man, crazy. thought about sending him a myspace message telling him to say hello next time, lol, but then i thought, if they want to be left in peace, might as well let them. Not like they're the type of people i'd want to associate myself with anyway, but it's still a little odd for me when i think about the fact that somebody else is living my old life. Playing with Darcy and Reno, the two dogs, probably sleeping under the blanket i made for him, makes me wonder if she knows that she's doing all the things i used to do. If he even mentions those kinds of things at all, odds are he's probably blocked everything that happened between us out of his mind. i'm sure the daily alcohol and weed help a lot with that. he's already forgotten all of his old friends, like he had to just wipe out anything that had to do with me whatsoever. makes me feel kind of special that he'd go to all that trouble, shiftless and motivationless as he is. anywho, i suppose that last bit was cathartic in a way for me. That's all the time i have to spend on that tonight. As for me, I've moved on to bigger and better things, etc, etc...talk to you soon.
