adrift on the sea of stupidity

I managed to amuse myself today with two long walks and listening to some tunes for the first time in months. I grilled some split chicken breasts too. Other than that, that’s it.

On my evening walk I stopped and spoke to a guy-I-used-to-know’s mom. I haven’t seen this fellow in at least 30 years. Never met his mom before. We weren’t ever buddies but I always liked him. He was big, good-looking, and popular, two of three things I wasn’t. He was always nice to me though. Anyway, he’s back living at home too. He was a lawyer for a time but I guess he washed out or was kicked out. Last I heard anything about him he was doing a lot of ‘caine off at college. That was mid-80s I guess. Anyway, I may very well run into him now that I’ve started that ball rolling. It was a spur-of-the-moment but conscious decision. If I’m ever to earn any money or get any pussy again I’m going to have to network. I’m not happy about it. It just is. If I keep feeling like I’ve been feeling, it won’t be a problem. Of course I won’t keep feeling this way. In fact I’m almost certainly on borrowed time now.

The whole walking thing is really getting good to me. It’s what passes for my quiet time these days. Between the three dogs and the two women things aren’t exactly tranquil around here in the mornings. On my walks though I’m able to commune with the asphalt and exhaust fumes, not to mention the barreling rednecks and wannabe rappers. It beats stewing in my own juices all to hell.

Over and out.

If you're interested in reading a fairly detailed account of addiction and depression, Cracked Head Memoirs might be for you. It basically tells how it was and what happened. Writing it helped me go from active addiction to recovery yet again.
