The scene is near the produce departement, Larry is waiting for Bob the Forklift Operator to clear some crates so he can get to the loading dock. Enter the hero of the Conversation, Dave. Dave stands to the left, leaning on his now empty bread trays and waits beside Larry. The background music is the new Simple Plan song. Dave turns to Larry and speaks. Dave: Isn't this guy's voice annoying? Larry (with passion): Man, I totally hate this band. Dave: He's so whiney Larry: All he ever talks about is how he lost his girl. All the songs are the same. Dave: What a loser. Larry: There are lots of girls. Forget her. Dave: Yeah. It's like saying, "I'm a loser," in a whiney voice. Larry: (nods disgustedly) At this point Bob concludes his activities and moves on, freeing up the aisle for both Dave and Larry to move on. (curtain)* On a completely unrelated note I hate the new Simple Plan song. It grates on the nerves. Actually that was directly related. I thought I could fool you. * In Memory of Petey [Dave] Time:3:03 PM Friday, October 17, 2003

The other day I had a dream where I was standing waiting for someone by this big building. I don't know who I was waiting for or what the building was, but I guess you expected that, seeing as it was a dream and all. So it's in the middle of the night and I'm standing there and this cop comes by, and just stands there, like he's waiting for something too. And then this other guy comes by, and he's drunk or stoned or something and the cop starts walking up to him, but he pulls out a gun and points it at me. And then the cop pulls out a gun and shoots him in the head. He sort of slumps over and then I wake up. Freak me out.

I had my first guitar lesson today in some 3 months. I didn't practice for it either, I just sort of showed up. All spontaneous like.
My teacher Lee is the best. Today he was telling me that I should figure out fingerings on my own instead of just doing what they say, because they're more of guidelines than actual rules. He told me it was like someone telling me that the sky was blue. He said, "David, the sky is blue. Why? Because I said so, dammit!" In Memory of Petey [Dave] Time:8:08 PM
I love eating Fude.
I'm at the Library, at long last. Magic powers can only post for so long. I'm currently reading a number of books, which I will list here [holding up to my vow to the Dycks that I would start reading more], so: Across the River and Into the Woods [or whatever it's called], by Ernest Hisownway. de Selincourt's Lectures on Poetry from Oxford The Complete Poems and Plays [of], T.S. Eliot The Hobbit [again!], The Lays of Beleriand, and The Lost Road - And Other Writings, by J.R.R. Tolkien For just random readings, I'm increasing my vocabulary with the Dictionary, and am also reading a book of Viking poetry, and a couple of classic English poetry collections. I also got a book of essays by Milton [i think it's essays, I haven't actually started reading it yet] from 190something. I almost got Simon Tolkien's book today, but I figured that would be wrong to him to read his book based upon my love for his Grandfather, as he clearly states on the back that whilst he is a massive fan of his Grandfather's work, he is not his Grandfather nor does he write like him - nor is his subject matter anywhere close in resemblance to the late John Ronald Reuel [Tolkien]. (in deed, S. Tolkien's book is a British criminal law novel) I've been listening to Travis a lot lately. I found my old CD for The Man Who, and I also have been listening [and this is rare for me, as I usually listen to one band for a while, almost exclusively, before switching to another band [again almost exclusively] for some time] to a lot of Coldplay - Parachutes still reigns supreme - and also to Beck, and Our Lady Peace, all at different times and with not a whole lot of looping but a whole lot of CD changing. Also, I seem to've done toilet on your floor. In Memory of Petey [Steven] Time:9:46 AM Monday, October 13, 2003
Ahoy, to all my fans out yonder!
In an attempt to make you all the happier, I was planning on making a trip to my local library to post today but it turns out that said library is closed today. In leiu of this drawback, I am sorry to say I will not be posting for a while, at least until the library opens, or until I get a computer at home. Anyway, I am also attempting to read The Hobbit again, but things keep distracting me. (Like maybe talking on the phone to my dear Kimberli til very late ;) ) Either that or getting phone calls from people who sound like axe murderers.... not to name anyone.... dave.
