Maybe I've been lacking an idol all these years, somebody who's accomplished a lot to look up to... Maybe.
This is what I've been dreaming of lately:
Being a Tico. Living outside the box, so to speak. I mean, he's a pretty talented musician, not a prodigy, and he makes enough just playing music to get by and get fat.
He told me when he was around my age he just decided to fuckin go to the airport and take a plane somewhere. Iceland was his first choice, but there weren't anymore flights to Iceland that day, so he went to London with just the clothes he had on and his violin and ended up living there for five years or so. Then he went to Barcelona for a couple of years, and just went all over Europe for 15 years playing music and having a good time. He's only here for a while and he intends to go back and live there for some years again.
Then there's me. Up until recently, I was wasting my time worrying about the future, which never really comes if you're always thinking about it. I've been aching to leave the country for a while now... I feel like it will put things into proper perspective for me. Well, my mom's getting remarried so at least I know it's happening.
I want to get drunk with Irishmen, dance with Germans, ride a fucking elephant with an Indian... and so on.
And I want to go to art school, and play live shows a lot in Sarasota and everywhere else! I'm suddenly excited about life because I'm not afraid to use my ability to change it!
Calling all groupies!
I'm so high.
