I have no idea where I am right now. I mean, I'm in a hotel room. I know that. I remember a sign...Arcolo? Does that ring a bell? We're out there, though. Somewhere, dark, bleak, late-night IL. One. Day. Left.

woke on the right side of the bed. there is some really insipid shit on the tv. oh look, as I'm writing this Johnny Cash used in a Comfort Inn commercial.

I am a coffee snob. I get very grumpy if I cannot find decent coffee while traveling.
I apologize for my tangent journal entry..chardonnay and introspection don't mix very well..or at least not for me.
2 things that can make me wake in the middle of the night in a cold sweat..the place they tow your car by the Javits center and stopping for gas in the deep south..I will elaborate on those at a later time.
In a month or so I will probably find myself in NOLA again..sucking on crayfish and drinking hurricanes, hoping I don't get rolled in some dark alley.
Enjoy your Friday..happy weekend to ya!

no coffee... um. no attempt at consolation there.

um. wow about that one girl.
the \uncertainty, hectic, manic, here and there, one step closer to "there"/ ... awe.
too much time to think is oxymoronic. it will fade together into something that works for your life. too much time to think is one step toward getting to "there".
i've decided alone is better than unhappy... and by unhappy i don't mean just sad.

I'm travelling with a slightly indecisive bunch. I was all ready to accept my things as they were: I95N, nothing but roadside lameness b/w Florence, SC where we stayed and anything going north, so why not just hit Waffle House and get it over with. But we had to launch into scoping out some mysterious fantasy quaint small-town shack of a restaurant -- some romantic...

though it was a ridiculous response to my "who do i think i am"
again i thank you
always a sucker for a sunset. and i'm growing to love the sunrise, too... this morning it just hurt to take my eyes off the rearview mirror as i drove west for work.
beautimous.
cut loose. i need that soon, too. i think this weekend calls for a bottle of wine and my one-hitter.
and i have to say, i love the way you lost it.
i think i'm jealous. heh

this town is sooo weird. I'm not into it. I'm into the nature. I'm not into the scene, other than the fact that everyone was super-stoked IN the club. it's got that whole 6th St. Austin, South St. Philly, or 18th St. DC feel which I don't vibe w/well, especially if I've been drinking a lot of whiskey in a club all night and...

tallahasee to St. Pete. Lagged hard at the starbucks over a redeye and a dulce de leche cheesecake (just to tie in a tour full of reminders of my Argentine ex). Oh to lag...Then, caffinated, roard the Econoline down I75 @ 90mph the whole time. What's up w/Floridians driving, militantly, in the left hand lane? Pet peve, for sure, but why? Why the fuck?...

early rise today for absolutely no reason. but got some driving in with eyelids heavy like anvils. listened to the new Clones CD, which was, errr, ok. Someone put on Sade, which reminded me of my lascivious dreams last night. ahhh...craziness...

do you shoot all your pictures with the same camera? some of them look like they were shot with a holga? nice color
and I tend to freak out (mentally)
when life throws me a curve.
I better buy myself some comfortable shoes
I have a long way to go
and a lot of soul searching to do.
Maybe it's time for another pilgrimage
a change of scenery
a change of perspective
maybe it is time for some creole food
and voudoun.
Heat, magic and Jazz
oh yeah and..some strong coffee & beignets for good measure.
Wanderlust strikes again..
Hope you are having a good Sunday..
