Well, I stayed up all sunday night packing and at the last possible moment, Abe said he couldn’t give me a ride to LA. However, I was not to be denied. Tuesday morning at 8:30 AM I took a cab to the greyhound bus station and bought a ticket. The bus wasn’t going to leave until 12:30 so I went home and then had to come back all the while carrying these three gihugic bags with all my prized posessions.
I got back to the station at 11:30, a whole hour before the bus was supposed to leave, and still I wasn’t able to get on a bus until 2:30. For three hours I stood there as the first person in line. Finally I got on the bus and had to make some last minute phone calls to try to arrange for some girl to pick me up. Let me just tell you, riding the greyhound bus absolutely SUCKS ASS. It stops at like every shithole place on the way: Blythe, San Bernadino, Riverside, El Monte, Clairmont, etc etc. After 12 hours I finally arrive at the Los Angeles bus station. I figured I’d be stuck there all night, but right when I got there my ride was miraculously waiting for me. Got dropped off at Schoenecker’s and we went to the Beauty Bar, Cinespace, Star Shoes, etc.

riding the bus
December 29, 2005I’m not sure it’s a way to live
December 12, 2005So i had to postpone my trip to Los Angeles until Xmas day or the 26th so I could get xmas money etc, and complete a massive archaeological excavation of my room(and bathroom).
Lately I’ve been hanging out with Clint a lot because he just got back from san francisco, so he’s on a high from that, and he knows I’m down for anything like staying out until 3 on the weeknights when I have to wake up at six, but I mean…I don’t give a shit.
Burning Bridges (theme from “Kelly’s Heroes)
Friends all tried to warn me
But I held my head up high
All the time they warned me
But I only passed them by
They all tried to tell me
But I guess I didn’t care
I turned my back and
Left them standing there
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Joey tried to help me find a job
A while ago
When I finally got it I didn’t want to go
The party Mary gave for me
When I just walked away
Now there’s nothing left for me to say
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Years have passed and I keep thinking
What a fool I’ve been
I look back into the past and
Think of way back then
I know that I lost everything I thought I that could win
I guess I should have listened to my friends
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Burning bridges lost forever
