"life's a dream when you gots da cream." that's what Leroy used to always say. he rode the city bus a lot and wore glasses. those glasses never got stolen. i don't think. i mean, he wouldn't have worn them if they were stolen. lots of unfortunate people would end up with their glasses stolen and then they couldn't replace them. they were too poor. they couldn't afford the seeing-eye dog to help them get to the eye doctor. and they couldn't afford the glasses once they got there. they could afford hats, though. maybe they stole the hats from the people who stole their glasses. and if they exchanged keys, Leroy could drive the glasses-thief's car, and the glasses-thief could get into Leroy's house and eat his chips. there was a kid at my middle school who was quite retarded. his name was Tony and he stuck his tongue out while he talked so you couldn't really understand him. what he had to say wasn't really understandable anyway. i saw him in the hallway one day when he was being scolded for being in the phase he was in. you can say that all people go through phases, and all people learn from these different phases. tony learned that it wasn't good to punch people who wore glasses. that was the phase he was in. all the other retarded kids in his retard class who wore glasses would get punches from tony and tony wasn't happy about these kids. so the teacher was out in the hall telling him not to punch kids with glasses. i think his next phase was punching kids with hats. there was another time in high school when tony had to be scolded. we were all eating in the cafeteria (all, meaning me and a bunch of people) and tony stood up on his lunchtable and started waving his arms wildly and bleeting at another mentally incapable student. people began cheering for tony, so he started dancing on the table and waving his arms. then he played air guitar. a teacher cut abrupt tony's 15 minutes of fame by picking him up off the table and trying to hold back laughter while scolding him. at my high school, a field trip for the retarded class was to walk around the school and pick up litter. my class sometimes got to go other places, but their fun was picking up litter. my school district sucks. [i'm not goth, nor am i a country singer, which means that people think i suck, but i can't talk about the stuff that sucks, so i can't talk about myself, though i will talk about my friend] ---------------------------------------------don't use scissors + you like me? i like you. oh wait, you don't like me. fuck it. + grab another apple, it's time for a snack. here's some poetry: .. ..lightbulbs live longer than moths .. me with my dusty broken wings i was nibbling on some piece of garbage when someone turned you on. you're hanging there on the ceiling up so high so pretty hi there your brightness seems to draw me can i strain myself to fly? i can try to go up high i can push myself here i come yeah this hurts but i think i can make it can't you meet me halfway? this is quite a challenge. your flicker beckons me but the air is so thick & heavy you're so far away i can't make it. .. ..tim johnson. ..trilobyte. i wrote that. i was inspired by an email i was writing to my girlfriend. it wasn't a happy email. in fact, we aren't really happy right now. but that's a poem i wrote. actually, she could be happy because she likes conflict. in response to some of the email i put in the last issue of flodis, she wrote lines like these: "I don't want your world.. and I won't give you mine. My world is my own and I am the center of that world." "Sorry Tim, I am out of the phase of "trying on/out" new things. I have found my shtick in life. I know what/who I get along with and I know why. I know the boundaries of my heart and mind and I know when not to mix them with others." "Being your girlfriend does not entitle you to ANYTHING." "I will not work to make someone else happy. That isn't my job, that isn't my responsibility." So a lot of people would define her as "a bitch". Hmm. Yeah, you could probably say that. She's a bitch once you try to get something out of her that she doesn't want to give to you. A dime, a conversation, a phone number, a kiss, an embrace, an ounce of care. I could either stop trying to get things out of her, and just let the relationship remain as it is, or I could end the relationship, and miss her. There are a lot of fish in the sea but most of them are bad kissers. Word of advice: Don't tread on treated soil barefoot. If it is treated with chemical fertilizer, walking across it barefoot can hurt your feet and make you sick and bad things. If it is treated with animal feces, it will make your feet smell icky, and will feel squishy as you walk across it. Don't drive your heavy car on a moist mountain of putrid feces. I don't recommend it. Don't fall in love with someone you know you shouldn't. Your car might get stuck and it will take lots of friends with shovels to dig you out. Your mileage may vary (YMMV).
