I'm still a college, still having a hard time with dissertation. This is my last semester and I'm still stuck on the chapter 4. I have no idea what am I doing right now. I sit down near the bench across the library, there is a tree right infront of me, I can't explain the feeling I get everytime I see it with different weathers. Sometimes the leaves just fly by, and sometimes the heat still gets in here. Sometimes it feels someone else following me from behind. I don't feel I'm more than something else, but just feel as if someone notice eve...
There is a time when I stand here, where I escape from those ridiculous people far beyond the seas, it's a long story before I arriver here. I can walk for miles since I believe human beings are perfect beings with all capabilities we can reach anything. We are not kind of person who just not eat in a day then die, we are more than that. That's what I write while I sitting on the train, kind of cement of train, train wago I suppose. I just sit there. I often visualize where I arrive on the desert with some roads, and some caravans and bar ne...
Back in Revere High School in 1978, I walk around the alley and across the hallway in the school. Graffitis everywhere, especially on the stone with quote, '78'. I live with lots of uncertainty. Even I remember there is a bean I kicked on the floor, slipped around the place I used to placed stuff such as plates and spoons, and afraid if it stuck on a pipe. Because I'm not kind of very masculine man, sometimes I question it until now. I'm very bad when it comes to handyman stuff and electricity. Even my dad sometimes make fun of me about it. ...
At some point during the summer in a city, I used to walk on different path and full of uncertainty. I afraid if the water still fills the tank and increase the bills to pay. Afraid of being considered less of a man. My biggest dream is living alone in an empty house, with some jobs from inside the house so I don't need to meet anybody. Probably just get to a drink house with some warm water in it, running on any place unless I still can find a way to get back home. "You keep sitting there all day long and you will eat the whole air," It's O...
When I was on that church just to feel the ambience feeling, it's very cold it makes me almost sleep. The cold feeling lets my soul out for a while, and feels something spiritual inside me. I was living everywhere at this moment, sometimes I sleep on the roof, sometimes I sleep near the grassy field kind of park. But nothing really matter. I hate it when people pity me, I'm the happiest person on earth. But there is a roof with an empty building. There, with me, Barry, and Rick there to survive and living at the same time. We believe that li...
One day on the ridgemont high, I just get out from the class after suspension for skipping. I forgot which button I pressed lately, maybe my arcade games won't work because I forgot about each part of it. My friend Sam just get some gift from some folks around our neighborhood. But me, I don't even expect any of it. But that's fine, I'm a lone ranger who just wandering around, wondering if I get something to play. Just the matter of time, sooner or later, here we go, a play field. "Hey Tony, where have you been?" That soft voice from Josh ju...
Back when Josh is still in high school, he befriends with Anthony and Sam. They both like to read bible together and sing some gospel songs about grapes and some wines. Sometimes Anthony correlates it with "Wine and Women" song by Bee Gees on their early prime on 1965. Anthony is quite active when it comes to singing and play some instruments, especially guitar since it's easy to carry on with. While Sam playing bass because Anthony forces him to. But Josh, he's a very conservative man, read his bible on his bed while they both fall asleep. ...
Back on the westdale when I just graduated from junior high, I used to be a paper writer man who just write on the papers and tucked it into some kind of book, and then send it to a billboard."Greg, what's going on down there?""Ohh Vinny, her you are." Man I don't really like when people start interrupting with my writings, but sometimes I think I would never have any kind of opportunity out of this thing."Next week is our first junior year on westdale.""Yeah I heard that," nothing really special about this one. I already know what will happ...
It's been a while since Kirk escapes from his own house into a wagon train. He just waits inside there. See the moonlight and stars, feel the cold ambience in the forest. He's a wanderer most of his life. Right after relentless drug taking when he was 21, Kirk doesn't want to hurt anybody. He knows well the effect of the usage, so he runaway. Sometimes he thinks about something in his head, probably he thinks the wrong way right after he's taking it, or even drink it in a wrong way. Just need for stimulation and groovy psychedelic effect, tu...

That's what I heard when I put my ear to his old house, never being cleaned. The opposite with our ...
It still the summer goes when Epson tries to seduce me with his feelings, even though he's completely attracted to woman hole. "Hey Tony let's play a catch." I still confuse about the real meaning of that word. But it's very scary everytime I look at him. He's really into one person, but he's too itchy to do that thing. Me and Ferd even scared to sit near with him on the movie theater.But he often treats us with some popcorn and ice cream. I often avoid junkies, but they seem nice.I said no to him since I like to walk alone on this desert. W...
This day started when I arrive on the loop after my anus feel to release something beneath me“Johnny, I find the tape.” “Ohh, really?” Johnny is a quarterback in high school figurative way, but I never find out after I took a bath, pretending it’s a sunbeam on the beach with the sun touching my skin, sometimes I feel arousal by it. “Ahh man, it’s heat.” I prohibit Johnny to have some air conditioner since I’m too shit to put in. We build our little house, one room outside inside.“When we will get out from here, Doug?” “Calm down your pussies...
In the dark with lamps off and on, i lay on the dirty floor and not care about it. I found new interest of cleaning the septic tank, and see the bath tube as a boulder I can see time by time. Mold and mould it feels dirt and stink, but I buy all of it. The dirtier the crowds, the merrier will be. Measure of a pat. "Guido, I saw the floor with the tube on it?" " Let just take a bath there, Tony."We spend our time in the basement, all of them are floor. Liminal space I should say. "We wasting river, Ton."I know what Guido means, but we dont ha...
