All the parties that had to be planned and entertained by me are now officially over and that tightness that has been weighing in my chest for the past few weeks has acceptingly subsided. Oh, I don't know how I pulled everything off because I'm so broke right now and even though experience has proven it time and again, I still cannot just accept ( Read more... )

Today a woman walked by me and she smelled like my fifth grade teacher. I liked my fifth grade teacher, but I got to thinking of this one time when I was sitting in front of her on the carpet and she was reading the book "Hatchet", which is one of my favorite childhood stories, yet I couldn't pay attention to the words she was saying because she ( Read more... )

Yesterday a man followed me around the grocery store because i had watermelon in my cart. He kept making comments about it. "I need to get me some watermelon this summer." "That watermelon sure does look good." "That's what I need in this weather, some watermelon." I just kept smiling and and nodding knowingly, but after awhile he started to ( Read more... )

It was a wednesday that it happened. I was driving home from a rotten trip to Adrian. Henry was crying in the back seat. I was trying to calm him to get him to rest, to take the nap he so desperately needed, but he refused to surrender to his his red ringed little eyes and his drooping neck. He screamed louder still, sending shrill notes of ( Read more... )

Today i went to bingo for the first time, as I've been talking about goingt to check it out after watching that documentary of how crazy those people are. And they are, well not so much in the same category as the "Grizzly Man", but nuts all the same. When I first arrived someone asked me if I knew CPR. I used to be up to date, but haven't been ( Read more... )

( my new filling station )

Last night on the way home from the bar, I was listening to 103.5 (the light) with the Rev. Henry Bruner giving prayer, dear god, to people, dear god, who need a little help, dear god, with lawyers, dear god, and and money and things, dear god, that I thought you weren't suppossed to ask you for, dear god, and I'm confused, dear god, for why in the ( Read more... )

the first half of the day we sat inside with the air conditioning on. We drank a lot of beer (which I didn't throw on anyone, not even the people who pissed me off) Henry had a great time with all the people and playing with the dog in the yard behind ours. Summer is food for having people over, so thanks for coming y'all. Oh, and give it up ( Read more... )

I poured my beer on some girl at the bar the other night. She was being mean to my friends. I was so mad. Why was I so mad?? I wanted to punch her! I wanted to throw her silly ass over the railing. I wanted to use my fingeres to manipulate the expressions of her face. That wolf that lives inside of me was smiling, egging me on, filling me ( Read more... )

Today a kindly old woman came up to henry and i while we were having lunch and gave him a dollar. She said it was because he recognized his letters, she then proceeded to invite us to church. A baptist church. I politely lied that I had to work and she went away. Afterwards I began wondering if maybe it would be nice to go to church and check ( Read more... )
