A white light. A yellow. A group of kids, playing a game of basketball, laughing, not keeping score. Lights illuminating plants, a woman straightening her's in a newly purchased house, one she may not have been able to enjoy before. It was Ray Bradbury, I believe, who wrote of a man who walked at night, and before being arrested for doing so, thought of the people sitting inside, their faces illuminated only by the light of a television.

The long forgetten muscles and dozens of cuts on my arms and hands as if in a single voice say "Hey buddy." The sound of contempt does not go unnoticed.

Found in "some walking stuff.txt," dated Sunday, July 20, 2003, 8:18 PM. The old ones walk down the road on their way to eternity They do not stop on the way, they merely make their way On ... on ... on stopping for none - needing no help They brought what they need on their back They need not turn back They do not look behind them, to see that which they have left behind

Oh the people that you meet, when you're walking down the street, can never make you cry, if only you remember why.

On one fine day you'll be old and grey and you'll sit and wonder 'where art thy plunder?' I'll tell you once, so please don't be a dunce, when that day appears I'm sure you'll be sitting on your rear!

The Semi-True Tale of Shelly and Allen

May 14th Allen,  I thank you for your kind words tonight at the Olympus Centre of the Arts. It’s not very often I get a standing ovation, and I believe it is solely due to you.  Ever since we first met, last night, I’ve felt a strong connection to you, and this indeed fills me with great happiness.  Again, I thank you for you continued help and guidance, Shelly   May 16th Shelly,  It was indeed my pleasure to be there on the 14th, but I fear that I cannot take credit for the, well deserved, standing ovation.

She was an attractive woman, quite attractive in fact. She was the kind of girl that you couldn’t help but smile at if she gave you her eyes, even if you were having one of the most shit-filled days in your life up to that point. She walked over, not quickly, but not slow. It was a perfect pace for a girl in her profession. If you move to quickly, you make the customer think that you’re desperate, while moving too slow gives off a feeling of disinterest, or boredom, both of which scare a customer away, or instil a like sensation within them.
