Dream

So it was a really dream because I was at work and I had to do something and I went outside smoke a cigarette and all of a sudden became really cracked out and could run ridiculously fast like in fast forward the whole time and mumble and I ran around the block but it was this weird block in tribeca that when I turned the corner turned into the east village and then a door opened because I was going so fast I jumped I jumped really far I turned the next corner again mumbled I ran into an alley way between a restaurant and another bar I’d never run down the alley way before but it was vaguely familiar it reminded me of the alley way at the skinny but I noticed this time that there was a television mumbled and then it went down a hill and descended into a bedroom I’d been in before it had two bunk beds another bed down below for some reason I presumed that my younger brother was in the bottom bunk but I had the ability to jump really high so I jumped I touched the ceiling the ceiling was like 25 feet in the air mumbled but I just kinda floated I returned to the ground at this point I mumble a curious george bear a bottle a scotch and a bottle of captain morgans the bottle of scotch was sitting in a wine holder that had hands like a guy the curious george bear you could attach by velcro at his paws on the top and the bottom so I attached his paws around the bottle of rum and put it back in a drink holder and went to climb into bed when I did so I noticed that there was all this junk there and were frozen or they were melted but somewhat leaking icepacks the soft kind so I got out of bed to throw those on the ground and there was junk everywhere and then I realized that there was a dog there and it was micho and he was chewing on a 7-up bottle but like the mini kind that they give you in the hospital so I took it out of his mouth I threw it down the hall and then all of a sudden I noticed the sound of the tv again playing something tires screeching a woman screaming shrieking and then I realized I was awake and it was the tv in the other room and my music had stopped the normally drowns out the noise the time is 2:25 and I’m pissed that I’m awake

Not really sure why, but I thought that I would say so. So this space hasn’t been updated very much as of late. I think that there are a variety of reasons for this. The one reason that probably makes the most sense is me. I was in Quebec. I am starting to stress out about the future (no job and a bar exam). I have other excuses. But really, do you care?

The aforementioned Canada truly was a very nice time. Very, very cold though—Saturday night was -18 degrees Fahrenheit. Spent last weekend in the village, town, whatever you call it of Mount Tremblant. Great place, I think everyone would really enjoy it (see above).

I really have no idea what goes on anymore.

Zero Christians Set to March in Union Square
Guy #1: What, you got a problem with me cursing?
Guy #2: Nah, nah, it's just that, you know, sayin' "holy fuck" is like talkin 'bout Jesus's mom fuckin' his dad and it's not cool to talk about Jesus's mom fuckin' people.
Guy #1: Dumbass, Jesus's mom didn't fuck anyone. She was a fuckin' virgin. How do I know this and you don't? You're the Christian.
Guy #2: What are you talkin' 'bout? How could Jesus have been born if his mom hadn't screwed his dad? Wait, who was Jesus's dad again?
Guy #1: Dude, are you serious?

I Am Being Watched.

So yesterday, I leave the office to cross the street to grab a cup of coffee. I pick up my coffee and crossed the street to return to the office. I paused on the corner away from the senseless foot traffic to have a smoke and enjoy my coffee before going back to work. As I stand there, looking either both incredibly sophisticated and debonair or like a corporate terrorist, I realize that I am being watched. I look around and see no one looking at me in particular. It is at about that moment that I see the lens of a camera, which was being held at waist level, pointed right at me. The thumb was working overtime. I looked at the guy incredulously. He did not look back. Finally we made eye contact and he shuffled off. He looked like a homeless jesus with an expensive slr.

I was and continue to be disconcerted.
