Woke up about 10 AM it's 55 degrees |
| [00:20.69] |
and even though it's barely March, |
| [00:23.94] |
since all winter it's been freezing, |
| [00:27.51] |
this is cause for celebration. |
| [00:30.86] |
Cause for picnics and coffee. |
| [00:34.70] |
So I opened up my savings |
| [00:38.35] |
and grabbed a couple |
| [00:41.76] |
twenties and it felt just like a day away from home. |
| [01:02.48] |
Walked over to Nelson's where my bike was getting fixed. |
| [01:08.44] |
Total damage: $34. I said, "Keep the extra six." |
| [01:15.84] |
I'm doing well today. |
| [01:17.83] |
I came home last week with enough to live. |
| [01:22.00] |
I rode south to grab a package 'cause our postman never rings the bell, |
| [01:29.25] |
he only leaves a slip |
| [01:31.77] |
and sometimes he doesn't even leave a slip. He's such a dick. |
| [01:38.57] |
Waiting in line for thirty minutes and I finally get my box. |
| [01:44.99] |
Hold the door, they don't say thanks. |
| [01:48.87] |
I fumble with the lock |
| [01:51.40] |
and my bike hasn't rode this well since the day I picked it up. |
| [01:57.88] |
A Ford Explorer jumps the light |
| [02:01.80] |
and I can't really stop |
| [02:04.63] |
and it feels like an alarm clock. |
| [02:10.71] |
I tuck and roll like in the movies |
| [02:14.62] |
and I slide across the concrete. |
| [02:17.09] |
Everybody's all, "Oh shit!" and blood is dripping down to my feet, |
| [02:23.61] |
but I get up and keep moving it's a busy city street. |
| [02:29.33] |
Keep on moving. Busy street. |
| [02:32.25] |
Ride the seven blocks to Boerum carry my bike up two floors, |
| [02:38.36] |
situate the crowded hallway limp and waddle through my door, |
| [02:44.11] |
throw the package onto my bed and start investigating sores. |
| [02:49.99] |
The cuts are bigger than expected. |
| [02:53.55] |
I guess I shouldn't have worn shorts. |
| [03:07.50] |
I thought about the winter. Under layers, |
| [03:11.14] |
I wouldn't bleed - drinking root beer, watching football. |
| [03:16.07] |
Oh, I never thought I'd be |
| [03:18.50] |
in that place everyone went to but it really just took me |
| [03:24.04] |
a couple extra years to get there |
| [03:26.72] |
though at least I did feel free for the most part of your weekend, |
| [03:32.26] |
save the rubbing alcohol sting. |
| [03:35.24] |
Oh, it felt just like vacation 'til I slaughtered my body. |
| [03:40.80] |
And it's kind of fucked in Florida, skies are grey instead of blue. |
| [03:46.20] |
I can't shrug off the awesome |
| [03:49.41] |
weather but I can surely dress my wounds. |
