In the Shadow of the City


I am the promise you can’t help but break

These are things that happened:

-I met Ron Paul and he knew who I was. He actually said, “I’ve heard about you!” and it was one of the most surprising things ever and also the best. Look for more about this ridiculous event in the Broad Street Journal.

-Matt, Scott and I went to the battlefield and posed with a Ron Paul sign.

-On a lovely day, Devin and I went to the Breeches and read and did a crossword puzzle. Everything was (seemingly) perfection.

-MILF Island.

-CNN reported live from Eisenhower Circle as I ate my chicken cordon bleu in Lottie.

-That whole Compassion Forum thing. Oh yeah, I was five rows back.

-Ruby Tuesdays suddenly became classy.

-We had a picnic on the banks of the Breeches.

-It all made me miss my friends a whole lot. It just gets harder to leave them.

I’ve started writing letters again. Maybe you’ll get one.

Someone is gone from my life who I didn’t think would be, and it hurts a little bit, in that way that something can hurt just because it surprises you.

I’m having one of those weird patches. But maybe sorta kinda if I really had to say, something good is on its way and we’re gonna pull through.
