English & Journalism Major

[ www.cursivebuildings.com ]

 

I spent part of my lunchtime w/this man today. He's a recent double major from Denver, 24 years old & part of a freight train-hopping crew called the Wrong Way Kids. His crew calls him Shitty & he answers. That's his name. He was so nice & intense.

The tattoo is only one night's sleep old. A newborn. He said it "hurt like absolute hell," but that the mushrooms he was eating took the edge off a bit. His friend did the inking while smoking crack! Serious.

These folks were kicking out of the city tonite, on a freighter to San Jose & down into central California. They planned to drink a box of wine on the way.

I am a very boring person. These are modern American shamans (college-educated!).
