so after being knocked by asshole kids with pressure cookers, pandemic, the boston marathon is officially back today. starts in less than an hour. that i remember, during the bombing, that i was actually kind of liveblogging that on here. i lived close enough to boston, and i had a police scanner, and... but now, yeah, i live like a ten minute walk away from the marathon route itself. day or two ago i was sleep interruptus on my vacation as low-flying helicopters repeatedly buzz the neighborhood as a practice run. i thought: oh, marathon about to happen. i checked the news that day to be sure, but... no, it has to be that. combined with porta-potties mysteriously appearing on a traffic island one day. has to be. and obviously a bit of a nervous atmosphere but i went on a walk/jog just now, as much of a jog as i could manage, and, actually, nothing but good vibes out there. people around here usually drive like their balls are in a vice, but they're chill. some streets are cordoned off. a cop is directing traffic at one of them. i slow down to a walk, and ask, excuse me, can i walk along the corner of 135 up there? and he replies, in 112% boston accent: "yeah, sure, man, absolutely" and i resumed running, and thought: why did i even do that? of course i can walk there but then i realize i felt it would have been rude to run by him with no hello on a day like today and what nicer thing can you do for a cop than stop and ask very obvious directions as a hello, take up 3 seconds of his time, he's busy directing traffic so i really pray nothing happens, because this is p. chill. almost rave-like |

alright, less good. that i was in a foul mood for a bit start of the year; gave up on quitting zigs out of spite. smoked quite a few. calmed down since and now more or less, like, still smoke, but it's pretty moderate. and i have not been out for one since i last posted and i was just going to bang around the block and... there are a freaking million cars parked everywhere. parking situation so overloaded people walking ten mins from my house just to watch. whatever, park. but you are also unloading approximately 2^4 baby strollers and giving me the stink eye for, like, i walk around the block around like this for a zig and no problem never, and now you're here, and you do not live here? right as i am thinking this, even then, the vibes come to my rescue. a silver jeep is coming down the road. there is so much going on, gosh. and i think: i am pretty sure this car actually lives here. that a woman is driving. that i could analyze where this came from, but it would be a boring post, so i won't. but i step into a crevice amidst the chaos, keep breathing terrible zig fumes in their range for a moment, and i feel gratitude as the jeep realizes i'm aware that they're fucking irritated with this shit too and i've decided to get out of their way because christ what can you do with this crap and it promptly parks in a driveway 100ft away. fist bump |
