I half-heartedly stabbed at the crumbs of your favorite thing. I'd be lying if i said i didn't feel the sting in that soft fleshy spot in me that so few people seem to think exists. I couldn't blend in at all. Didn't. Is it me that won't let me, or them?
That old, broken lady on Sound waved at me again today, so I thought it best to stop to say 'Hello'. How many times have I passed her by? Countless. Her wrinkled skin, greying on top. Some bumps and bruises but no doubt, full of memory.

Anywhere but Here
S a t u r d a y , A u g u s t 2 6 , 2 0 0 6
Some days I wish I could be anywhere but in my own skin. I wanna be on the other side of that tunnel. Where the road dips down, slides to the right, curves into anywhere but here.
I know whats behind me, 5 minutes ago. 2 minutes. 2 feet. Too far gone, it has steamed its way back up off of the roadway, back out into the clouds.
Alone again with the noise and the miles. The wet, the dry, Out in the mist and disquiet. Wondering where you are, not here with me. If you missed me too.

...i came upon a young boy riding his bicycle down a rural road. As he heard me coming behind him, he stood up on his pedals, head down, gripping bars tightly, shirt open and trailing in the breeze, and pedaled with everything he had. He raced against the wind. He raced against me. All the while he smiled and laughed that secret laughter of youth. It tickled my heart to know that no matter who crossed that imaginary finish line first, in his mind, he won.
I was there yesterday checking everything out. As a resident, I go unaffected. But, to those who are not residents who have been enjoying free parking for years, is it like squatters rights? Should they still be allowed to park freely? Especially since they have designated motorcycle parking outside of the main lot's parking stalls. If you pay, you should not be corralled anywhere. You should be able to park anywhere you like within the legal parking areas.
And to say that this would address the noise is a bit funny. There are free street spots, free municipal parking in 2 lots. Paying to park doesn't stop people from cruising the main drag and looking for a free parking spot. It keeps them and their loud pipes circling the lots and the blocks looking to park for free.
