crossing stadium

Jan 22, 2007 12:08

I was waiting for traffic to pass so I could cross Stadium when I heard somebody beep at me. I looked up. A man driving by in his SUV angrily pointed at me then made the universal sign for "cock-sucker." By the looks of it, he's had more practice than I have. Thanks, asshole, come do that to my face so I can smash your fucking kneecaps.

Goddamn, I ( Read more... )

I'm confused. Why in the world would anyone flip the bird at a complete stranger just standing there not doing anything? Obviously totally uncalled for.

Yeah, I was accosted by a few people during my stay there. It seems like a, well, unique place. I prefer the suburbs, haha.

Under the heading of "You're Never Too Old Too Learn"...or something like that...a friend had some very nice things to say to me over the recent holidays. Now, I'm a relic in gay years - dead actually - and he is merely 24. But I learned a lesson from him that just seemed to register, at long last - likely because of how he said it (or wrote it actually).

Who the fuck cares what the losers out there think about anything? In my small mind, that Stadium Blvd piece of crap wouldn't be worth wasting a swing at his kneecaps. He's useless. If you swung at anything, it would have to be a bit higher than the kneecap. But I don't think he is even worth that effort.

...who notices that you being unable to "wait to get out of here" is, like, the first sign of spring?

next come the daffodils, then the forsythias, then the sakura, then the academic crisis, and then....

SUMMERTIME!

Burt, you capture life in college so vividly. It has little to do with classes, but everything to do with progress into life. The richness of the human experiences are wonderful memories, that much better for being called out of the dormancy of years by a writer as authentic as you are. If you continue to journal, it will be great to read about your life when you go to school in a city (like NYC or Seattle) that's big and diverse enough to handle you. Thanks.
