an hour and a half sat in traffic. no movement whatsoever. I was about 800 yards behind the crash itself in which a car and a pickup had brought themselves together and come to rest across all three lanes. so we were going nowhere. it was very surreal - we stopped before sunset, and very few people put on their headlights as it went dark, so we were sat in a black river of cars.
now, if this were TV or a music video, or even perhaps anywhere other than just inside the M25, there may have been some sense of collective trust, some camaraderie, some grouping together. As it was, we all sat in our cars, trucks, buses and lorries, and ignored everyone else completely. until i got out and started taking pictures that was, at which point everyone was united in staring at the bearded weirdo with the camera....

270. wandering star
those who have seen the needles eye now tread
like a husk from which all that was now has fled
and the masks that the monsters wear
to feed upon their prey

269. sleep the clock around
now the trouble is over, everybody got paid,
everybody is happy, they are glad that they came.
then you go to the place where you've finally found,
you can look at yourself sleep the clock around.

more sleeping, recovering slowly, no more sleeping shots for a little while, i promise....

268. this devil's workday
well let's take this potted plant to the woods and set it free.
i'm gonna tell the owners just how nice that was of me.
i could buy myself a reason.
i could sell myself a job.
i could hang myself on treason.
for I am my own damn god
modest mouse
today (or friday, since i am posting this a little late) was my last day at my old work, and i cannot say i am sad to see it go. i will miss the staff, and my nurse Tracey was one of the best things to happen to me in a long time, and the patients were lovely - it is a bizarre thing that you do get nice areas for patients, and not so nice areas, and it has absolutely nothing to do with socio-economic groupings. my issue was the company, and the way they consistently treated me and the staff around me. anyway, day is done, i am free, all is good!

267. friends
friends sing together
friends do things together
friends laugh together
friends make graphs together
friends walk together
pop and lock together
friends go jogging at the track
friends borrow money, never pay you back
friends do not let friends do crack
friends go out and grab a snack
friends help you when you're in danger
friends are people who are not strangers
friends help you shift into a new place
and tell you if you've got food on your face
if you trip over I'll catch your fall
if you kick my dick I won't break your balls
if you get drunk and vomit on me
i'll make sure you get home safely
if you crossed the road and a truck struck you
i'll scrape you up and reconstruct you
i'll cheer you up if you're depressed
if you get murdered I'll avenge your death
flight of the conchords
i went to the fair
i played hook a duck
i won a cow
his name is dylan
we watched the fireworks
they were pretty
they were blue and green and red and orange and yellow and white
they went bang
it rained while we watched
we got wet
dylan sheltered in my pocket
rain got in my eyes when i looked up
we walked home in the road
cars beeped at us
dylan is my friend.
