It’s late in the morning… around 2:00am.
I went to the VFW & the legion for veterans today with my marine friend. Not much partying goin on the the Marine birthday tonight.
It was freezing tonight… about 25deg.
I went to a few bars with my friend. Met some townies. One guy, who was especially nice and personable, was named ‘Bushy’. I, of course, found this humorous on some level. maybe cause he was from vermont and slightly overweight with a dull look in his eyes like he was raised in the mountains. i dunno.
I listed to some good bands. They were doing great covers. No cute girls. Not one that really fancied my taste. Typical and expected in these parts so I’m not entirely disappointed.
I read recently about the Socratic method. About two phase free-style and the deconstructive and constructive process. I was using it tonight on my friend. It was driving him to unknowns and confusion which left me feeling funny. I’ve got like… hm… 30 some books that I want to buy saved in my cart on amazon. For Christmas I’m gonna spend the money I get on buying those books. About Goethe, and Socrates dialogs and Plato’s accounts. etc.,
I had about 4 drinks. about 4 cigarettes.
im not proud, but it was good to unwind and let go of all the worry and school work ive been dwelling on.
My chin is on the desk.
im staring at the screen.
My friend got pulled over tonight as we were pullin into campus.
A state trooper approached the car and asked the usual details. Had he been drinking? yes. He was asked to step outside and into the troopers car. I was slightly worried. About 10 minutes later he returns chuckling. his father was a state trooper.
WTf happened? i asked.
You know how to take a breathlizer test?
hm… pretty sure…
well.. .he said… I just blew a .77.
wow.
the legal limit was .8
i laughed.
‘fuckin pigs’ he said.
we drove home.
