nothing in here is true

it was the weirdest day so lets just get it all out.

the morning was so good that after i took my shower and i put on my ipod on the way to the bus i stood in my kitchen and said a little prayer up to the Lord to give thanks for having a great life and a great apartment and a cool job and an amazingly nice new girlfriend and the opportunity to talk to dozens of people via the internet.

and then i got to work and before my ass could hit my chair everything turned to shit.

first i got a very serious call from my sister telling me that my mom was in the hospital and she was nervous and she wanted to talk to her son. so i told her everything was going to be ok. she said, but ive never had an operation before. i said what are you in there for. she said gallstones. i said you could get your gallbladder yanked standing on your head. she was drowsy from the morophine and told me that her real fear was in the dope that was dripping into her veins.

i said, enjoy the drugs. there are people searching around cities all over the world for what your health insurance is paying to get pumped into your bloodstream. take a deep breath, close yr eyes, and dream beautiful dreams, and when you wake up thank God that we're not living in a time where we actually have anesthesia and some semblance of medicine.

then i had to save the world.

which was hard cuz it was raining.

then i hung out with my girlfriend for about three minutes but i had to get back to work and this is what i have to say about that: shes a virgin, and she might never give it up to me ever, but shes so fucking hot and so sweet it's nice just being able to kiss her cheek once in a while.

we walked to the corner and got an la weekly and basked in the coolness of having an article in there and then parted ways.

then she went to the interpol concert with her pals and i went home alone in the rain but i danced all the way home cuz she textpaged me a special little message.

and when i got home i had this in my in-box:
