I've never been a big fan of Halloween, but it's here. Again. Last week, there was a carnival at a gradeschool off of McKee road. Lots of people were there with their kids, laughing, and running, and generally enjoying themselves. Down the road, not a quarter mile, a tragic car accident occured, and while the carnival continued merrily, a

much love man...

[i_am_vladimir]

Tobs,

I love you man.. I have much fucking respect for you. its hard to understand all of the rules put in place to make this crazy ass planet work day after day... even if it doesn’t fell like its working at all... in fact, at times, I don’t think it is possible to figure all that crazy shit out... i think at this point I’m just glad there is a positive that comes out of the negative. I don’t see how it would work otherwise... think about how much better the bed feels at the end of that long trip compared to just a regular nights sleep...

i guess it could be worse. you could go through all the shit and get nothing in the end... its like driveling across the country only to be kicked out of a waffle house... (those fuckers!) at least whoever put these plans in place was smart enough to put a reward at the end of all of your pain. like a waffle, only better...

thanks man. I have a lot of respect for you as well. A lot of times I just feel like a child for having these sorts of feelings, when other people have been through so much more then I. I was driving through Providence Plantation and I saw two ladys chatting and laughing. One looked like the religious lady in Donnie Darko, and the other was in a specialized wheel chair with two prosthetic legs at the knees. But she was laughing.

let me get my dictionary

Amazed is a strong word. I would especially classify that as a strong usage of the word in regards to myself. I don't think I am amazing. If I was amazing I would have a twenty foot jumpshot, have written an opera, published a book on world ecenomics and how to save the third world nations, donated a million dollars to charities and put on a one man show at a famous New York art gallery. all before I was 23. Now that would be amazing. But I am just myself, and so I will take another swig of my Guinness.

Although my new self portrait is, I feel, amazing. And I also think that it is amazing to have friends that would call me amazing. That in turns makes them amazing, which means we are all amazing and should band together and be superheros. Because we're all so amazing. Are you amazed yet?
