So here we are. The end of a few days of unrest here. Several things have happened. The repair of the Jeep, only to have it get stuck in a rescue attempt that very night, the return to a state of disrepair as whatever we did underneath there loses it's ultra strong duct tape seal and begins to wildly undulate around the road again, a bunch of awkward moments, some funny jokes that no one got, and too much time spent at the airport. And after it all, a profound feeling has come over me. I have arrived at two theories, and either one could be correct. One, I am getting wierder, or two, I am nearing a hysterical breakdown. Uncontrollable laughing has been fun in the past, but these situations aren't even always funny, some are just downright sad. And as I drive through this hellish furnace of a city, nothing washes over me. No joy, no sadness. It is just sort of in the middle. It could of course be the three hours of sleep I'm running on, after weeks of falling into tiny pieces on the bed when the sun comes up, or it could be the fact that I had too many cigarettes today. Then again, you wake me after three hours, and I'm going to have to pump my brain full of something to stay conscious, and nicotine seems to work a bit worse then caffeine. I've also discovered that I really like matches. The ones from the US are okay, but the real good matches are in Mexico. Nothing but pure sulfur, the dangerous kind, so powerful you could light them on a stick of butter. Just don't inhale the fumes. In fact, try not to breath any of the air while your here. It will make the time go by much faster. Anyway, I get the feeling everyone around here is walking on eggshells, and I'm not sure why. It might have something to do with theory number two up there. Just to calm everyone's nerves, NO ONE WILL BE SPARED! NO ONE! So no one has to really worry, because you'll all get it in the end anyway. I love this show. Seriously though, I'm fine, just need to get back into the swing of things. And not go crazy. There is probably room on the list for both.
