wee morning

Monday, June 16 2008

i woke up this morning at three fifty. i woke up immediately, and started getting dressed. my dad wasn’t even ready yet, so i hung out for a little bit. he got ready, we drove to the airport. i drove back. it was strange driving on my own, because even when i took a wrong turn, i knew where to go. no panic, no lack of confidence. i guess this is where i grew up, after all. i passed by the exit i used to take to go to beth’s house. i loved beth. i got back to camillus, and i watched as the nearly empty roads turned pink and orange when the sun peeked through the rain clouds. rain is so beautiful. when it rains, it feels like nature is taking back the power that man made into cities, yano? there’s nothing we can do but cover our heads, and it will rain as long as it wants. i pulled into dunkin donuts, because that is a place i haven’t been to since christmas. becky klementowski was working. we had a very nice interaction, and it made me sincerely happy. im not sure why she’s working at a donut shop, but i guess nothing pays the bills like money.

and here i am, now 24 hours later, driving through empty streets, walking through an empty store. and it’s amazing. you can’t get solace like this in LA.

... i’ve decided that it was a bad idea to abandon my healthy diet. so i’m gonna eat raw again, even if it means i’m buying my own food here.
