~ °Café de Terrasse° ~
The thoughts of an odd duck who sits alone in a night cafe, with a stylo in his right, a journal in his left, a valise under his chaise, a tasse on the table, and plenty of time to pass.

This entire night has been filled by dorm mischief. Gettin in trouble and doin what we all do best... uhhh, getting into trouble! In the midst of the operatic bathroom, the dark and noisy morgue, the movement of lounge furniture, and the hook-up party outside, not to mention the third floor banana brigade and the atheist association meeting down the hall, I've become tired. Not tired of anything in particular, just tired. In the midst of seeing his candid audacity, her pretty face, and the pajama jumblers, my tiredness has developed into a sort of melancholy.~ dimanche, février 22, 2004 ~
Eh, it's just college, but seeketh and ye shalt findeth sumthin sumthin.
Daniel says I'm looking for something else... I told him, "maybe". Am I really that ambiguous with people? I mean, I know Andrea used to say that to me A LOT but I thought it was just her. But I mean, c'mon... oh c'monnnn...

I had a heckuvan adventure yesterday... it was quite crazy! At 4:32 in the afternoon, I decided to take the next bus out of Davis to Sacramento. Kindof a spontanteous little decision there. So anyway, I tell ya, Sac is a weird place with odd people.
I attended a Karate convention... it was cool but man, those little 7-yr olds could kick my butt easily. I walked around downtown with my long coat trying to look all important in front of the State Capitol building. hahaha, fun stuff.
that city is alright in the daytime but come darkness, it's a whole different place- and a scary place at that. Ok, so at around 7:12pm, I was walking down the street and these guys passed me by slowly in a dark SUV... the dude in the passenger seat pointed his freakin finger at me... they stopped the freakin car and he came out! So I crossed the street quickly and then the homie started walking towards me. I pretended not to see but he kept coming closer and closer do I ran and when i ran, he freakin ran after me! I didn't think much of it at the time but I almost got freakin mugged! Wanna know where this happened? Right across the street from the Capitol building, next to the freakin Hilton!
So with that ordeal, I stopped walking the downtown streets and ended up in Old Sac. Somehow, I got myself caught up in a Mardi Gras celebration over there. It was pretty awesome to see all the beads and stuff. I ended up in a candy shop, where I spent freakin almost $20 on candy... I was a kid in the candy store.
So anyway, on the way back from Sacramento, the bus ride was like an hour long and I blame it on the bus driver who talked to me on the whole trip. And of all things to talk about, he talked about busses. Yeah, he knew everything there was to know about busses... he even pointed out busses and told me their features, their maximum speed, their maximum capacity, their prices, you name it and if it's bus-related, he knew it. It was kindof funny really, because he started pointing out busses going, "ooooh, that's a beaut!" haha... and he's also designing his own bus line... one that can go from 1 to 100mph in 4.5 seconds. See, that's what happens to you when you've been driving busses for 30+ years. PAUL, hahaha
That was the Great Sacramento Adventure.
