On saturday I was almost overcome by a sudden urge to leave EVERYTHING, walk out of
my appartment jump on the next flight to the Phillipines and live a life style of
drinking, drug abuse, hooker abuse, and making money in casual labour and selling my
blood at a blood bank as often as they would let me. I would buy a cheesy shirt, chew
gum, smoke too much, and carry a knife, a bottle of whiskey and a deck of cards at all
times. I would know all of the seediest bars and the lapdance clubs. I would know all
of the drug dealers, and black market types. I'd maybe get in a few barroom brawls. I'd
lose teeth, sweat beer, wake up feeling like shit every morning and maybe kill a man. I
would maybe spend some time working around the docks, or on cargo ships, perhaps with a
sideline in smuggling. I would end my childish addiction to haribo sweets, and learn
rudimentary kung-fu. I would wear cheap jewllery, and a cheap wristwatch, always have a
tooth pick in my mouth. My voice would perhaps degenerate to a low growl due to constant
abuse of my larynx. And I would die alone, probably because of the drink.
But then maybe I just listen to too much Tom Waits?
I made a tea, and curled up with a novel instead.
Morover, I suck. |
