Many things have happened in the last week. Work has become incredibly tense ever since gas prices have gone up. There are a slew of Alachua County Residents badgering me on a daily basis trying to sell some cd's or dvd's they found in a dumpster somewhere. When I try to tell them that we have to pass on it they typically give me some sob story like "I have my wife in the car and she's about to give birth so we need some gas money to make it to the hospital." or "Look man I drove all the way out here to sell these things and wasted so much gas already. Just shoot me $20 dollars on this copy of Bedazzled and we can call it even." They always get pissed and tell me to go fuck myself or something to that effect.
Last week I had an accident on my scooter. It was raining and I hydroplaned when coming to a red light. I fell going about 25 MPH. Aside from some scrapes and bruises my body is fine and I'm really lucky because I wasn't wearing a helmet and I was launched into oncoming traffic. My scooter wasn't so lucky. She suffered a broken turn signal and a bunch of body damage. She's been acting weird ever since.
Lastly, Patti and I broke up last Friday and while things were a bit rocky at first things seem to be looking up. While we both may not be perfect people we are both going to try and work out our differences.
All these things haven't been in vain though. It has given me plenty of things to think about and I have been on a creative streak for the past week. I recorded four songs and each one was radically different from the one before it.
Well everybody, hope all is well.
Sincerely,
Commandante Velazquez
