Xyience Energy Drink, 2 cigarettes, apple
The screen was blurry. I wasn’t really watching it but I could hear the screaming voices around me, knew what was on the screen. My head was down and tears started to flow. I looked up. There was Albert Pujols, slowly crossing from 1st to second base, hands waving in front of fireworks. The scoreboard said 6-0, the Cards won.
“I write and I write often. I always keep my whiskey within reach.”
— William Faulkner
“Writing involves fantasy; alcohol promotes fantasy. Writing requires self-confidence; alcohol bolsters confidence. Writing is lonely work; alcohol assuages loneliness. Writing demands intense concentration; alcohol relaxes.”

Do you think it’s because I’m always in here?” I smiled. He said, “I’ll tell them to give you your medicine twice a day, as prescribed, no matter if I am in here or not.”

Journal Snippets 7.3.11
Samson, Aunt Missy’s white German Shepard, died yesterday. It was odd that she called me considering I never had any real relationship with him. He would spook any time I walked in the room, bark like a maniac, until he found the quickest escape. If cornered he would pace towards me slowly, never letting his eyes drift from mine, getting ever closer… and dart out of the door as fast as...

Vanilla yogurt, banana, orange, granola, almonds,...

Old man in the lobby at midnight.
“I have a 31-year old and a 26-year old. I have a third one who passed five years ago but I like to think that he’s still with us. Do you know the community college about three and a half hours east of here? It’s right above Elgin. Well, anyways, if you go east about three or so hours you’ll hit it and that’s where my son played baseball for two years. He made it on the team right after high...
