Amazed

I am amazed b/c both Bret and Jessica made it to the end of the long, long entry. Thanks for reading it!

I disagree when you state that this has nothing to do with fiction writing. It has everything to do with fiction writing. This list will serve purposeful if ever I need an idea. It also allows you to see the cognitive processes of my mind, in order for you to better make sense of things that seem to jump around in complete unorganization. Perhaps if you read enough, things will begin to fall into place. It is a most unique phenomena.

1) Someone commented today that I am apathetic. Well, no. Not really. I do care. It's just that I am really relaxed. You got to take it easy. Starting out of the blocks fast will only cause you to fail later.

2) Boston was amazing! The east coast is good, clean fun. We stayed in this hotel that was like a refurbished old hotel. It was nice. The weather was cold and rainy during the marathon...the winning times were like 7 minutes slower than last year...mine was 16 minutes slower, but I blame it on my legs cramping up. I started walking in the last mile, but then people started encouraging, and I decided to nut up. The subway was fun. Crappy walls, a guy with too much authority, a guy asking me for change.

3) The plane rides were fantastic. I like when you lift off and turn real sharp and the blood rushes to your head. I like when you blast through clouds and wind and the plane shakes and you are jilted around the cabin like those number balls in the pick 5.

4) I decided to be extra-observative. The person that helped me with my seat request in the airport was Ann Marie Liburdi. She looked French. And sexy. Looked nice in her little navy blue uniform with gold trim, that short skirt revealing a great pair of well toned legs. The stewardess on the plane was Pamela. White shirt, black slacks, very accomodating but also very controlling. Had a sweet voice. The other stewardess who talked to the Korean people sitting behind me was Sally A. Weiss. She had some kind of weird bangs, sandy hair, sharp eyes, hose that didn't blend well with her skin. The couple sitting next to me was German. The woman wore a black and white overcoat, a black/grey business suit with thin pink pinstripes, matching pants, 3 inch black heels. Blonde hair, styled magnificently, parted in front, a little tied up in the back. She was sexy. The guy sitting behind me was in some kind of theater company. He was about 30 but acted like a child. Wore a grey fleece pullover and a white tee shirt underneath. His friend two rows in front of me was a girl about 23, brunette, frail, loud talker. She wore white sweatpants. And I think a thong. You can see through white pretty easily. She was sexy. I wanted to cup her ass in my hands. The guy next to me was a medical student, maybe from India. He breathed heavily and smelled of awful colonge. He sported a black corduroy jacket, khaki slacks, and a red turtleneck. There were some girls also, high school students I think, very attractive. A blonde in a green and white shirt, jeans, too thin? A brunette in a lacy white shirt with a turquoise blue shirt underneath. Hair parted and up in one of those hair bands. Large, intelligent eyes. Smiled often. Very innocent looking. Perfect.

5) I like viewing the earth from the sky. It is like google earth, only better. I like maps. Maps are fun. I saw all of Ohio from 3600 feet at 540 miles per hour. MD will surely like Ohio. Lots of green, many trees and enough water. I like seeing the clouds from the top. I imagine that it looks similar to Antarctica, with snow for miles and miles and miles.

6) Then we went on jazz ensemble tour to KC. It was a blast. Me and four others got to ride in the mini van with Dean (the pimp) while all the rest had to cram into the 15 passenger van. Then we got a suite at the hotel...a huge suite! Nice loveseat, low coffee table, two chairs and ottomans. Fluffy pillows. An assortment of alcohol in the lobby. Beer on tap. Wine in those bucket things.

7) And when I was sitting at poolside, a young woman was talking to one of her friends about her boobs being too big...then she came up to me and flashed open her towel. No, young woman. They are not too big. They are PERFECT!

8) We ate ribs at Jack's Stack by Union Station in downtown KC. The best ribs in town. It was great. Our table had boisterous conversation. I was giddy and laughed at stupid jokes. My friend drank too many Smirnoffs. She kept saying things like "definately" and "cool" to describe the most unmeaningful things. The 15 passenger van had to pull off on the side of the highway to let her vomit. I am glad I didn't have to ride in the "sick" van.

9) At one of the schools we performed at, I got attacked by a bee, and said "FUCK" and "DAMN" and "SHIT" in front of some young people. I really have to learn how to refrain from using such language around the youth.

10) There is magic in the air.

11) I haven't done homework since last Wednesday. That is a whole week. I am not really too worried though. I don't think I have had anything due. I'm not sure though...

12) I like this warm weather. I am a warm weather kind of guy.

13) Four weeks of school after this week. Four weeks!

14) I am amazingly poor right now. I might have to start stealing.

Well, that is all for now. I will keep you updated about things that happen in my life.
