I hate the world right now. Especially the male half of it. That is all. That and screw love/crushes. They aren’t worth the hassle. I’m going back to being numb now.

It’s a freaking heatwave here in Portland. It peaked at 106 today and tomorrow’s even hotter. So of course I’m working at the carnival. And as God intended it, I’m drenching myself to the bone at every possible opportunity, be it via the mister, a wet rag, or soaking in the tossed ice water. Whatever way you have it, I’m doing all I can to stay cool. Which means, today at work I listened to the Smashing Pumpkins, REM, Soundgarden, and the Gin Blossoms. On the ride sound system. FYI, “Disarm” is not a family friendly song. Just saying.

Moving to Miami in less than a month. Finally got the roommate situation all settled, now we just have to find a house. Appropriately enough, the end of the summer soundtrack remains in line with the start of the summer soundtrack, i.e. heavy on the JoBros, Replacements and anything to do with Greg Cartwright.

Since my hospital debt got written off, everything looks better and everything feels better. Life is good right now.

Between the whiskey and the beer, between the carnival and the sleep, I’ve somehow zipped through most of my summer already. My last day at the carnival is August 18. I’m moving to Miami on the 20th. Where it all went, I really don’t know. I’ve kept up the bad boy decision making, revealing to not only the Movie Man, but myself just how great I am. I’ve stayed away from the potential good and stuck to Whiffies and the Ship. Routine trumps renovation.
And cue the end of the prodigal summer. Set to a soundtrack of The Replacements and the Old 97s, it’s been good. But I guess it’s gotta end.

Happy day after the 4th y’all.
I survived a midnight closing of the carnival, a death defying hike through nature at 1am, and so much more. Here i sit, drinking what’s left of my Old Crow and lamenting the fact that “tomorrow” begins officially in less than 9 hours. God darn it. I’m working quickly towards not liking the carnival so much. Which makes me sad.
But schoolgirl crushes make me soooooo happy.
But, in conclusion, I think I’ve been feeling down because (maybe) we’re nearing the 1 year anniversary of Buck’s death, i.e. we’re knee-deep in that shittastic month between his multiple arrests and his eventual death, and that kinda sucks, a lot. And I kinda miss him, a lot. Being a member of the Dead Dad Club ain’t all it’s cracked up to be, obvtron.
