taking some time out from my remodeling to drink a beer, due mainly to the american mythology surrounding beer consumption and semi-elective manual labor.

still working on drywall repairs and sundry prep. but the gallons are there. I may be able to open one tonight. not sure.

I don’t have a girlfriend.

today was a good work day.

I’m a good progr/ammer and drywall repairer.

w/ork is very busy, of a sudden.

for the journey of a thousand steps begins with a single mile. and that mile is getting all the stuff out of the living area so I can start prepping the walls. and going to get two gallons of canyon echo.

believe

and so it is that as soon as I finished unpacking I have begun re-packing.

I got a couple color samples and put some splotches on the wall. One of the colors is good. The other is magical. Simply looking upon it causes me to levitate from my chair and slowly drift toward and into it. And then onward into an endless magical realm where all is soft and shimmering. It is the greatest color ever. I can’t take my eyes off of it. I want to be it, and soon I will.

I awoke with this thought -> paint <-

paint

it can happen.

many people have painted.

I have painted; seen others paint. I know it is possible.

I see the way. I believe it can happen and will happen soon. I’m downstairs looking at the walls, believing they can be painted. it’s a little overwhelming, just thinking how possible it is. not overwhelming like daunting. it’s not daunting. I mean the extreme possibleness is overwhelming. I feel almost as though the walls already have paint on them. I can smell it. if I touched the wall right now, I might get some paint on my hands. it’s not yet dry.

if I keep up with this craisins type stuff it’s just going to be me and you.

that said, I am in an imaginary land today. it seems very safe. I don’t see what could go wrong.

I missed that whole tennis match. I didn’t even know about it until after the fact, then thought it must be a typo or spoof, then had to research it for a little while before I realized that 70-68 really meant 70-68. as surely as 6-4 means 6-4. maybe I can get it on netflix sometime.

hey, I just threw away some old craisins so I could use the bag to ice down my middle finger, and I looked at the “best if used by date” and it,s today, june 24 2010. typing w one hand. had a frisbee game earlier. then I realized Ive only had the craisins since nov. I cld have eaten them.

realized earlier Im a slacker workaholic. tho I never realized I was a slacker until people started telling me I was.

I slept not well. I slept midnight to 3, and then 8:30 to 10. Between 3 and 8:30 was scatterbrained. The illusion of sanity receded somewhat.

Now the illusion is back in force. I’ve decided to work on location, in my living room. For a time. Tho the laptop makes my quads too warm, even with a sheet of cardboard in between. yeah back upstairs.

IT”S HOT OUT

my relationship with arnold is very good lately.

I’ve made 3 dollars so far this year. I think by this time last year I had made close to 10. What comes around must go down. as the crow flies. it’s ok.

I got a google voice number and was looking at the interface and telling it to call me and things, but it was too mind blowing so I soon had to stop.
