CT

Maybe I should be a bus driver.

I've been trying to find some jobs in this blasted state. It is extremely difficult. I even tried to do Dunkin Doughnuts. The weird thing was that I applied online and then at the end of the application it told me to print it out and bring it to the store. Why the hell did I go online then? It was because those bastards don't want to pay for the paper applications! They want me to use my own paper!

Yet another reason why I hate Dunkin Doughnuts.

What are you reading?

I am reading a book called Thai Horse. It is about an ex mercenary trying to figure his life out after spending three years in a terrible South American prison. Now the main character is headed for Thailand to try to find an ex commando buddy.

Now I am watching real sports with Bryant Gumbel. There is so much snow on the ground that it looks like numerous forts all around Berlin. I can't see my car if it is parked on the street because the snow is blocking the view.

Joe bought me an MC Hammer cassette tape for fifty two cents today. I thank him for it, but I was surprised about how bad it was. The songs on the tape are very religious and some of the background singers makes you laugh like hell.

Hope to see you soon.

The Garfield Honor

Life is interesting lately. I've been reading a Frank Yerby Novel called the Garfield Honor. It is a romantic western novel about a man from the East trying to find himself on the Texas badlands. It is the third Frank Yerby novel I've read and I think I am going to try to read all thirty three that he wrote in his life.

Frank Yerby is a very interesting author. He was half African American and was the first African American to have a novel bought by a Hollywood studio to be turned into a movie. I really like that the movie when it was made starred Rex Harrison who was the original Dr. Dolittle.

I hope all of you are well. Try reading a book. It's good for you.

A New Life

I just finished the Book A New Life by Bernard Malamud. It is a good novel about a thirty year old ex drunkard from New York City who goes to a small technical school in Cascadia, Washington state and proceeds to start teaching English composition. It is a character study novel about a young man who tries to leave his past and start a new life. At times Malamud goes into extremely philosophical descriptions of the main characters surroundings and it can get a little boring, but it is a great read none the less.

Malamud is best known for his first novel The Natural which was made into a movie with Robert Redford.

I started reading Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. What are you reading?

Yes Sir

Listen to some Devendra Banhart. He will make you happy.

I got a few beers with Joe Delcegno tonight. He is a great man. I trust him and respect him like a brother.

"I would love to travel again and see you sitting there. Like something to wrap and then give to a stranger. Wait, but then again live as well."

It's cold here.
