“There are so many hammocks to catch you if you fall,
so many laws to keep you from experience.
All these cities I have been in the last few weeks make me fully understand the cozy,
stifling state in which most people pass through life.
I don't want to pass through life like a smooth plane ride.
All you do is get to breathe and copulate and finally die.
I don't want to go with the smooth skin and the calm brow.
I hope I end up a blithering idiot cursing the sun -
hallucinating, screaming, giving obscene and inane lectures on street corners and public parks.
People will walk by and say, "Look at that drooling idiot. What a basket case."
I will turn and say to them
"It is you who are the basket case. For every moment you hated your job,
cursed your wife and sold yourself to a dream that you didn't even conceive.
For the times your soul screamed yes and you said no. For all of that.
For your self-torture, I see the glowing eyes of the sun! The air talks to me! I am at all times!"
And maybe, the passers by will drop a coin into my cup.”
-Henry Rollins

Sunday, July 23, 10:48 p.m.
So today we went to a random lake around Chilliwack. It was a pretty long drive, especially on the rugged dirt part that just about liquified all my organs (the Tracker isn't the most graceful vehicle) and then a long walk...around 20 minutes to this beach. The sand was soooo squishy and the water was suprisingly warm. Most lakes in BC are filled with snow runoff from the mountains and makes your joins ache with STABBING PAIN if you try to swim in them. This was pleasant...especially considering the hellfire weather we've been having.
It was the first time I've been comfortable temperature wise in roughly a week.
Plus getting out of the apartment for a day was pleasant too. Especially since it didn't mean leaving for work...which I'll be doing tomorrow.
The comfort that the lake brought is gone and it has left its mark. Horrible sunburn like you wouldn't believe. And yet my legs were not touched at all by the sun apperantly because they're still pasty as all hell. NOt even slightly pink.
Ahaha I almost forgot, the best part about the lake was all these weird little rivers and runoffs around it. The mud in them (andin the lake too) was soooo squishy and sinky. It was like quicksand. You could sink into it up to your knee's and lean like as farrrr back towards the water as you possibly could and it would hold you upright. Don't ask how we got out...it was tricky.
And now...I am burnt to a crisp. Oh yes.
Ikea phoned when we were gone, apperantly we're supposed to phone with our something...number. I would like to think that means they're sending me my bed, but it probably means they lost my order or something.
Soon the trip...SOON!
