I hate rain, West Texas and teenagers (not necessarily in that order.)

We’ve been making a big clockwise circle around Dallas for the past four days. Around twenty after the hour the landscape changes – welcome to West Texas. Now git the fuck out.

Gladly, sir. Gladly. Put down the gun.

On second thought... Go ahead. Shoot me. You’d be doing me a favor.

Rained steadily for the past four days. Rained hard for the past four days. When it’s sunny out, I can view my life – even now – as a kind of adventure. But when it’s raining like this all I can think is how badly I’ve fucked it all up, how alone I feel without any sort of tribe to sustain me, no one who really sees me. I’m a ghost with a beating heart.

All I really can do is write. And what good is that?

So... a bad case of cabin fever. An ugly cabin. Next time I go on a five month trip in a 16 by 10 foot RV with 2 dogs, a cat and 2 other humans, I’m definitely bringing board games.
