so, i told my old man about an incredibly rotten day i had. he had to "put me on hold first" as he had to use the restroom first. i waited and waited and waited, what did he eat for lunch? i talked about barely having the strength to walk to class. i told him that the prof spoke in a language i couldn't understand, yet wasn't alone, as he asked a student to turn off the light and the poor kid closed the door. finally somone whispered to the kid to turn off the blasted light. my old man laughed. i told him i was so overwhelmed with my prof's use of the language that i wanted to laugh or cry, but i didn't. i told him that i somehow found the strength to walk home. i told him i tried to read bukowski, but couldn't understand it. he said he couldn't either. i said, "how could you not?" i told him i then tried to read camus. he said that wasn't a smart leap to take. i told him i cried. i told him i'm getting depressed. he said, "so, are you going to the grocery?" he just left to go drinking with friends. i declined. on his way out, i told him to be careful. i repeated "cancel" twice in my head.

Apparently I'm gonna have to come up there. I know where your old man goes drinking and I'm going over there now and drag his sorry a$$ home(or anywhere else you'd like him dragged or drug, whatever) and you might just remind him that I do "get" Bukowski and if he's not careful that big dumb beautiful dog you got will eat his face for dessert. If that doesn't get his attention I'll get my mean wife to come over there and she will beat both ( me and your old man) of us senseless. (don't think she can't) and I am so very sorry you had an incredibly rotten day. And if there is anything I can do to make you happy just let me know by golly!! I wish somebody would just dare me. And really what is with this Cancel Cancel nonsense? =0/

i'm actually glad he went out last night, as i preferred that to him staying here. i just feel bad for trying to "cancel" a positive thought rather than a negative. in your opinion, does that make me a bad person? maybe i have mild ocd, as someone has put that blasted "cancel, cancel" thought into my head and i can't get it out...
about your wife: please don't make her come over here. she sounds rather fierce. let's leave her out of this mess. maybe if i cut off his thumb, he'll just leave me instead? do you think that would work?
about the big dumb beautiful dog: he has been rather mean to the old man lately. he attacked my old man on several occassions (with me laughing in the background). he kicked him like a mule while he was laying on the couch one evenig as well. perhaps my dog is picking up on my mood, or just my thoughts? perhaps i don't even have to think cancel any more?
about kid: thank you for your thoughts and writing and much more. i dare you to streak your office on monday. how's that for a dare? thanks again kid...
