04/16/01 - I forgot it was spring break. I woke up and found my livingroom full of gangstas ... A diversified cross section of American youth. My Friend told me he met a very talented musician recently. He said the young man looked like a thug. I told him they all look like that. I gave The Kid his allowance. I told him all he had to do to earn it this week was to stay out of my hair ... And, not get into any trouble.
I'm feeling much better today. I put in my graveyard shift last night and it went pretty smoothly ... Busy, but the callers were all nice. Since I didn't have to take anyone to school this morning, I got to go right to bed ... And, I slept really well. I don't want to be a sad sack. It's not a pleasant feeling. I have my moments, I try to fight them. They don't last me long. Wallowing is not for me. I have a good life. Oh, it's not without some yearnings. But I really have nothing to complain about. And ... It's a beautiful day today, warm even. What more could I want?
So, The Kid took his homies (sp?) into his bedroom. At least I didn't hear him say "this is where the magic happens." Believe me, I don't want to know. |
