DREAM: I’m delivering for China Wok. There’s a kid’s festival going on. I park right next to a stop sign in the gravel. Leaving the car running while I deliver this bag of food. I notice a gang of husky red necks corral around my car. One of them opens the door. I run back to the car to investigate but I try to be nonchalant about it.
“Soooo...what are you guys doing?”
Some of them stay in the car as I prepare to take off. A cop pulls up behind me and gives me a ticket for being parked at a stop sign...
“No. No. No. You can’t be serious!”
After receiving the yellow piece of paper I follow the cop up the street and demand he take it back.
“Look man, this doesn’t make any sense. I was only parked there for a minute. I can’t afford this.”
He has no sympathy.
Alarm goes off at 11:11 a.m.
Egg and Cheese Biscuit and Cinnamon Twist from Bojangles. Orange Juice.
It’s Christmas Eve and I’m working a full day shift at China Wok.
Peanut Butter Bagel. Potato Chip Trio. Honey Green Tea.
Just another day delivering...
Snapping the peas on the down time.
Nicole drops by. It’s good to see her. Mental stimulation and analytical practice is a given when spending any time with her.
Steady orders come and go...
Finally off work. I stop by Harpoon Larry’s where Margot is working. She asked me to visit. I sit there at the bar and eat my Tofu and Mixed Vegetables with Rice in Garlic Sauce while she tends to a few tables. It’s just my presence that makes her feel secure and comfortable.
Unwinding back home.
A bowl of Cheerios with Brown Sugar and Milk.
Watching TRON: Legacy (2010).
Sleep around 4 a.m.
