What doesn't kill me will eventually lead me to kill myself

I need distractions. Oh, how I wish I could stop thinking all the time. It's only bad when it gets dark and it's too cold to leave the trailer and I'm left to my own devices. SO I'm gonna give a shout-out to all the little things that make time pass, especially when a girl's feelin' a little down...

(minus the self-manifesting art/writing which is what I'm trying to distract myself from)

MUSIC (ah-men)
lately it's been:
Faust - IV
Fucked Up - Epics in Minutes
Can - Tago Mago
Oingo Boingo - Good for your soul
Gray Matter - Food for Thought
John Hartford - Steam-Powered Aerotakes
Rites of Spring - End on End
New Model Army - Vengeance
Jawbreaker - Unfun
Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
Zolar X - Timeless
Devo - Pioneers who got Scalped...
2 mixes i made, one lots of social distortion/johnny cash, the other xtc, sonics, hot chocolate, fleetwood mac, etc

Having a car has helped. Yeah, I bought a car. It's a Honda. I drive it to the library and back. I got some good books at the local library. And the librarians are way cool.

A local metalhead named Jordan comes around a lot. He's fun. Equivalent to Jay of Jay and Silent Bob. But uncannily similar is the thing. Probably cause he spilled acid all over himself at 16.

Phone conversations. I used to hate them but not anymore! NO, CALL!

Dinners with the locals.

Working on everyone's bikes. I am lucky enough that everyone's bike is totally busted. In exchange for one repair, I was given a trashed unicycle. I'm gonna fix that one up right away and unicycle to the library.

That about sums up my distractions. Be my pen-pal.

Aside from over-thinkin, I'm having a wonderful time in my isolation. Here's some pictures.
