Today I woke up late, around
noon, and went down to
my favorite coffee shop and
wasted my
entire day
drinking
coffee and writing and drawing, doodling and
chatting until around 5:30 when I went to
school.
It was a
better day that it sounds.
First
interesting thing that happened, (I am not making this up) as I was pulling into the parking lot across from the coffee-house I saw a guy get
punched in the face.
Apparently this guy was scratching the
parking attendants
truck with a
nail or his
watchband, or something, so the parking attendant guy gets out of his
little both and punches this guy right through his
cup of coffee and
hits him right in his
mouth.
When I got out of my
car and saw what happened, the
guy was covered in hot coffee and blood. The guys
hair was all covered in coffee and the front of his
shirt was covered in coffee, and next to him his cup lay on the ground, totally busted, meanwhile this guy is bleeding out of his
nose and
mouth. (It sounds
disgusting, but it was pretty cool to see first thing in the morning, which was actually the
afternoon, but morning to
me.)
So I eventually got into the coffee shop after chatting with the small crowd that had formed around the two men, had some coffee, read some more (I'm reading
Naked Lunch by
William Burroughs right now, it's
crazy).
Later on, some kids were skateboarding outside, and they all were using one guys board (not at the same time, separately). So they are taking turns. All of a sudden the
police roll up, and everyone gets off the sidewalk and "hides" in the
coffee shop, and most of the skaters run off also. Here in
Asheville, NC, skating is illigal on the streets, public parks or any place other than the Skate Parks, so two kids got bitched at by a cop.
I've decided that I'm going to actually do something this week that I don't work, I mean, I should do something meaningful. I'd like to be able to say "
Look what I did! I made this." by the end of this
week.
