my eyes bleed, my head ready to explode. I am going to put the papers away and turn the linux box off. Soon. It is hard to think. But a quick story: walked by my neighbor today, a woman named Izelle. She was dazed, perhaps surprised to see me– we have never met. I said my greetings– I am, after all, a spontaneously nice guy– and she answered in kind, but swayed slightly while she talked and slurred a bit. This was in the early afternoon, I might add. Quite reminded me of some episodes from my “checkered” past, trying to deal with tripping or dead-stoned people. I make no judgements here– only slightly barbed observations.

I have more to say, but I think I will wait until tomorrow. oh and by the way– Santa, if you’re reading, I want this for christmas…
