its just a dream, folks!
hiya all!! just woke up!! i gotta write this while its fresh in the skull!! just a silly dream i had....

standing in a homeless drop in center somewhere, i got 2 free lockers #56, the day before, and i put my junk in them, and locked em up. so we are all there the next morning, milling around, its still dark outside, theres no locks on my lockers anymore, and i got a sign on em, tellin me to see the front desk! im a lil miffed by this, but not too interested as to why my locks were gone.

so, one of the guys that run the drop in center comes up to the counter and gets our attention: VETERANS! LISSSEN!!! we got some donations yesterday, so heres the deal, we have hot coffee, all you want, or donuts, all you want, but not both! budget restraints, ya know. the president has cut our budget again, so you can have either coffee, or donuts, but not both. so, which is it?

most of the folks have coffee already, and most shout out, DONUTS!! but thankfully, the coffee wins out. then the line forms, and the coffee comes out; so, after getting coffee, a few times thru the line, and im looking for the locker guy, then evryone is in their lockers, changing clothes. its winter, and all i got is short pants and t shirts?? WTF?? then some guy comes up and sez to me, "we in miami, ya know" that seems to make it ok, but i swear, i thought i put jeans and shirts and coats in the lockers...

o well, so i put on clean clothes, and get anutter coffee, then, im looking for a cigarette; wandering around the hall, looking for a cigarette....

then i woke up!!! gawd! what a dream! it seemed so real! the coffee pot is full. i got smokes. im not in miami. i dont have shorts in the closet! im a lil confused, then i realise i got my own place, this is reality. not what my dream was. well, i got up, and got some coffee and immediately started to write this. i feel pretty swell, i got a place, and im not homeless, and i dont have to stand in line anymore, and have to ask some dope for a cigarette. WHEW! i been here on this ride for 9 months, in one place. how long is this gonna last? i gotta work the desk today, from 9 to 5, then again from 1 am to 9 am. then tomorrow i do 16 hours, from 5 pm to 9 am monday morning. my biggest worry right now is i got 3 months of time magazines piled up, what to do with them? sheesh! what now, what next, where to?

well, im stayin put. im gonna sit here and see what happens next. springtime is here. everything is cool. i just gotta think, and remember what a hassle being homeless is. the thrill is gone. it aint fun anymore. this is better.

You Are Bold And Brave

But daring? Not usually? You tend to like to make calculated risks. So while you may not be base jumping any time soon... You are up for whatever's new and (a little) exciting!
