Interesting day today.
Met Jeffrey, my ol’ pal from NCI at Charlie Brown’s, our ol’ J&J hangout from Lanmark that just happens to be in my ol’ hometown. Then saw Mom and Dad and hung out with Aunt Judy, visiting from the West Coast. Talk about a mish mash of memories. Jeez. Touched a lot of bases today. Saw a picture of Grandmom’s grave. That grounded me. You get a feeling of who you are when you see family and old friends all at once in a bunch like this. I get the feeling that I have many miles ahead of me and that I have barely scratched my potential. Jeffrey opened a new vista of ideas on the creative front and my family allowed me to be the bracing, refreshing, off-the-wall whiz kid that I always used to be. Jeffrey and his wife are going to the see the Daily Show live on Thursday. I’m jealous.
Drove through my old hometown—which is always weird – then went to my old mall. Total freak show. I felt like I was on fucking Mars. People look different back there. Maybe it was me. I walked into the Mac store and there was a line of people waiting to get assistance. Not realizing this yet, I walked to the front and got help immediately, pissing off a lot of people who were waiting to touch an iPod. Problem is, I actually dropped coin there and spoke Mac, while the wannabes who wanted to touch an iPod stewed. I just gave them the derogatory PK eye, flashed ‘em my 17-inch laptop and shut them all up real quick.
And I haven’t smoked a cigarette in a long time.
