letter for you

hello internet. how are you? i am fine. i just returned from a slightly-famed trip to tempe, arizona. the time spent was hard-earned and well-worth. after all the drama our collective endured, from tests of friendship to broken cars, powergrip failures and leg-over-to-concrete-chestsmacks, we returned with that sticky-sweet, too many cigarettes and far too much coffee peanut-butter taste behind our shit-eating grins.

crossing over the naughties into the tens in another city, another state, another frame of reference was nothing short of surreal. yes, there was glitter; glitter and glamour, expensive whiskey, cheap champagne– stinky handkerchiefs, sweaty feet, stale smoke– objectivism, romanticism, et. al; the day of, the night of, the mornings and evenings after new year’s were a swirling concoction of these abstractions, colors, sights and sounds.

the party eventually reached its peak with a static moment of calm. all present were on the same page, those who weren’t were no longer around, and we melted into and around the couches, little puddles of people trailing on the surrounding floor. so we asked each other what 2009 was and what 2010 will not be. i ask nothing more of myself than genuine interest in the naked experience, and to be appreciative of what is there. no, i am not talking about my penis. i then extended a firm apology to the parties i offended that night, which was well-received. no, i am not talking about my penis.

how about you, internet? let’s get together soon; ride some bikes.
