new post about life

i believe my desire to blog is very weak whereas my desire to be outside playing frisbee golf, ultimate frisbee, basketball, walking, running is very high.

i set an old stereo on the curb thinking someone would come and take it. the cd player was broken in it, but the tape deck worked (tape deck) and so did the radio. a few minutes later a sixty year old man walked over. "is that for free?" "yes." "does it work?" "the cd player's broken, but everything else works." "and it's for free?" "it's all yours." he bent over, struggling to pick up the stereo and the speakers. "i'll get the speakers," i told him. "i got it now, just give me a second." a moment later he said "why don't you get the speakers?" walking back to his house with the stereo he said "name's Willy Mo'." Then he said, "you just move in?" I said "yes." "it's a good neighborhood. not like my last neighborhood, where a guy got shot and killed in my frontyard." i agreed it seemed better than that.

then i drove to columbus, ohio and saw many babies. that was intense. everyone goes to bed early now. the babies, they are intense. wow.

then i drove to dayton and got drunk, fucked up my leg playing frisbee, got propositioned by prostitutes, their pimp in the distance in a white suit and white pointy shoes and very slicky hair. found out a friend wrecked a helicopter and lost his job. i don't believe details are appropriate for a blog. two others are taking unemployment. i'm about to be taking unemployment.

finished a novel and posted the first couple pages on fictionaut to a moderate, yet kind, reception.

watched a friend eat an entire "Gambler," which consists of: an eight-egg omlette with cheese, peppers, onions, etc (this, itself, is amazing); two enormous pancakes, not little happy children pancakes, mean fluffy, enormous pancakes; a slab of french toast; four pieces of bacon; hash browns. we made asses of ourselves in this eatery, hungover and laughing.

missed emily for the week. spoke to her on the phone drunkenly passing the phone to numerous people.

there were other things, but i don't remember what now. got back, discovered Greenville is cool and has a good frisbee golf course and good sushi and a vietnamese place (thank you Greenville).
