I know these things:
coming home to days off after waking up in a different town everyday never get's easy. Errrr....
Kool Keith doesn't cease to amaze me. I know it'll happen and there will be one of these records will be a bummer eventually, but damn. For now it's still good to "discover" someone for yourself and go through the motions. It's like ladies....

2:30 am, Adams Morgan DC.
Leaving the 7-11 after getting a gatorade (fluids!!!)
Put 26 cents in the hand of the bummy, toothless woman who I'd said, "Maybe some change on the way out," couldn't understand what she said after that...
And then as I was walking to my car after giving her the change I understood it as she said it again:
wanna handjob...

I'm hoooommmmme! The adventure's over, as Mr. Burns said to me last night, "the prodigal son's returned." Or whatever. He's returned to sunny/pretty DC w/a raging head cold that's migrating down. It's weird, I was lying in bed last night thinking, "you're really relentless for someone who has a cold..." this was after 5 celebratory bourbons. The sun's glowing around my curtain. Going to rush...

Welcome home!
sorry to hear about your cold, some nasty stuff going around.
Drink whiskey..hot tea with whiskey is good, take some Echinacea (take the ones with vit. C if you can find them) and zinc.
oh yeah..and Dayquil. (love that stuff)
Not sure when I will be visiting NOLA..but hopefully soon. I'll let ya know.
I dream poetry. I use to keep a notebook by my bed so I could write the words down.
My teacher drives a VW bus. the other day, during our study group we had to help push it out of the parking lot.
and yep, she wears birkenstocks..even in the snow.
ok, that's all I got
for now.

Welcome home.
two beautiful days to end a few weeks of touring the heartland, the South, the South east and that other country called Florida.
Really, a clear blue sky after a really overcast and wet-cold day in Champaign. The coldest I've ever been in my life hasn't been in Chicago or Boston or Iceland, but in like Ireland where the air is moist and the cold...

I had this really long response..
then I started to type
and I realized I was making no sense
i was babbling..
I'm sooo sleepy, (starting to crash from to many raspberry newtons and coffee)
I'll try again tomorrow.
When are you going to NOLA?

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.

I never know what to do next
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..

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.
the scruff on my face is really bumming me out. I swear I haven't been anywhere near a drug store in a while.
only 2 days left. Champaign, IL and St. Louis, MO. Then...

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!

All was well until total traffic jam 60 miles outside ATL. We went backroads for about 3 hours to get there. Late, the show sounded shitty to me, but to the crowd, whatever. Oh yeah, I didn't drink a lick of coffee all day and...

oh COME ON! the SUNSET is redeeming...
no coffee... um. no attempt at consolation there.
the shoulders ... is 35 seconds worth it or just enough to leave you drooling?
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 had a bloody nose last night... don't know why i want to tell you that. it's been a long time since i've had one.

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...

it IS nice to meet you...
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...

I'm was born and raised in Jersey.
Belgium was fun..I stayed with a girl who knew all the "cool" places to go.
I have friends in Amsterdam..
it's on my list of places to go....SOON!

THat pug story made me laugh. I use to volunteer at a dog pound and the pugs always cracked me up, those and the boston terriers..they are so ugly, they are cute! No eaten eyeballs though..thankfully.
The dog walkers in NYC make a nice amount of money too from what I have heard. hmm..nah..I hate walking my own dog in the cold and rain. I use to know a fetish model that did house sitting when things were slow (as they often are in that business) she got to stay in some of the most amazing brownstones. They are sooo deceiving from the outside.
Today's about me tidbit: I almost moved to Annapolis Md. Last month.
Hope you are starting to feel better..

humdrum is usually a great time for me to take care of mindless responsibility, leaving me time to use the mind to plot my next intention to take over the world.

but i can understand the semi-disappointment.
