i needed a change.
i still live life as if there were no answers.
 
i bought new shoes, and wearing them now.
this of course, took place after a brief reuniting with will, and then checkers.
 
will has been AWOL since we last saw him in may. he left giddings, happily in his parents toyota camry. the sad story about will was seeing him drop out of school with less than a semester to go in his fifth year of college. he seemed happy today, as we sat and caught up. other than the few, cheesy emails he's sent myself and nick about, "feeelm" (taken directly from his email) i still have minor respect for the kid. he did leave giddings in pieces, but then again, who wouldn't if they had the chance?
 
i've seen one to many faces awed and dazzled by the college experience today. new blood is prancing around campus and all faculty and student help is looking as fake as ever. the sun beats perfectly onto the lawn, making all objects it hits become crisp, digital and clear. the summer rain has made the leaves look alive, electronic green. they will all pass, as we did too. it probably happens faster these days, anyways. to naivety.
