I wake up in the hotel room. 6:50 a.m.
Back to sleep in the van on the top bunk.
DREAM: A secret between a Mexican woman and I. A cop walks
over to investigate. He doesn’t seem suspicious of anything until the woman
starts choking him. I try to communicate to the woman this will not help
anything and will only cause even more suspicion. ☼☼☼☼☼ Lying on a soft blue
mattress, people around me causing it to float up in the air, higher, higher,
and higher. I start to gain control of where it goes and ride it like a long
board.
11:30 a.m. I wake up at Wawa.
Breakfast: Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese. Nantucket
Orange Mango Juice.
Good talks with Zach and Jacob in the front of the van – the
greatest moments on the road – being in a band is like being in a marriage, and
your fans are sons and daughters – bringing closure.
Stop at Sonic.
Lunch: Egg and Cheese Burrito. French Fries. Sweet Tea.
Referring to why Mae asked Pogge to play in the first place
Jacob says, “We needed a conservative to balance out Zach.”
I call my mother. We talk about
this yeast infection called Candida most people probably have from using too
many antibiotics.
A few more hours left to go until we arrive home, and Zach
has to pee. Pogge, in a flamboyant southern accent: “He pooped at the last
place. He couldn’t pee at the same time?” Me, in a straight southern tone:
“Brown and yeller. Can’t have one without the udder.”
Napping with my headphones on, music playing.
DREAM: A projection screen set up in front of my house. I
hook up my iPod to play a video with that Joe Cocker song playing
in the background, “What would you do if I sang out of tune? Would you stand up
and walk out on me?” I start running like a pinwheel spins flailing my arms and
legs, not going very fast, trying to get to the backyard where Phil is sleeping
on a hammock.
I wake up and we’re entering the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Tunnel. An officer tells us to pull over to the side. She gives us a warning
for our tags being expired and license plate not being displayed properly.
Luckily she didn’t notice the trailer lights weren’t working.
We drive off in haste as a Sigur Ros song begins playing on
the stereo, a perfect soundtrack for the scenic drive.
Grapes and Salt n Vinegar Chips.
I finally make it to China Wok for work 30 minutes late.
Dinner: Vegetable Lo Mein.
I go to Kmart for a Neti Pot to clean my sinuses.
I boil some water to make Green Tea with and breath in the
soothing steam.
I attempt irrigating my nose with the Neti Pot but my right
nostril is so clogged no amount of liquid will flow through it.
A bowl of Puffins Cereal with Honey.
Dumpster Dive at Trader Joe’s:
Eggs, Potatoes, Bell Peppers (Red, Yellow, and Orange),
Apples, Oranges, Strawberries, Bananas, Avocados, Green Beans, Romaine Lettuce,
and Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Hot shower.
Oolong Tea and Strawberries.
Netflix sucks.
Sleep around 5:30 a.m.
