Things about the people who I work with at Rainbow Acres Natural Food Store
“Fany, could you tell this customer how much the discount is for baby food, I have no idea.”
“Uh-haa.” She answers. I love the way she says it, not uh-huh, but uh-haa with a beautiful Latin accent.
Michelle is always laughing, I love that laugh, and it’s genuinely cheery and enough to make you feel a little better every time.
Jessica’s deep melancholy voice, sometimes a smile escapes, betraying her past which one can glimpse the details of on her forearms.
Richard went to Humboldt, is there anything more I have to say?
Jamal’s politically incorrect, oh so stereotypical Indian impersonations.
Is it Damien, Damen, pretty to look at but to “emo” to be worth the trouble, according to the girls, although Jessica seems to flounder in spite of herself.
Skinny Esteban always asks me questions, like “Do you like history?” “Do you read books?” broad sweeping statements that if answered with a yes or no would end the conversation, and if answered in too much length would take an hour.

well, do you like history? elaborate =)
hah. just kidding. unless you want to. i'd definitely listen.
on the way home tonight i dedicated myself to writing a big long post about things that happened in all the cities i've been in lately, but now i'm just settling for this. i just can't get back into the swing of it, i guess.
oh well. hope you're doing well
hmmm...thoughts on history...people who say they don't like history fascinate me. It's all story (mind you told from "his" point of view, mostly), but you're learning a story. If presented the right way, it's kind of hard for humans, who use stories to create their conscience it would be impossible. However I must say when you have to read it from a text book, write papers on it, learn about the same goddamn white bastards in twelve years of primary education it gets really really really boring. Personally my least favorite period is the Civil War...in fact any American History bores me to death, due to it being beaten down our throats. I like ancient history, or stuff that isn't taught in mainstream education.
As for you lack of postage...even though it saddens me, I think not writing is just as much a part of writing as writing is. What the heck did I just say...anyway I've found the more I read the more I write, the more "sad" things happening the more I write. I say write down anything, a word, two words a sentence. It helps get you going again. And who cares if your post makes no sense, or is unfinished. Just post the damn thing anyways, be like "screw you post reader, I know its shite, but deal until my brain settles!"
thank you. great points.
i'm remembering my first posts ever on my blog. they were exactly one to two sentence 'screw-you reader' posts.
i agree perfectly with hating the civil war - and american history in general. while at pitt, majoring in history, i never took one american history class actually. anything but.
damn. i want to write more but i just can't get myself to think it.
peace
