Rain and Corndogs

I’m at work right now, sitting in the break room, listening to the rain. It’s not quite as loud as perhaps I would like, but I guess it’ll do.

People talking all around me, that seems to be the way it always is; people surrounding me, having conversations over me, around me, but never to me. Oh well, it’s not like it’s that important. I’d much rather be in silence than talk about meaningless things. It always seems to bother me, just how much of my life is made up of meaningless dialogue. I used to spout such drivel, sarcastic jokes filling my every waking minute. I loved it back then, it was who I was. I think I’ve lost confidence in myself recently. I think that’s helped to effect this change.

I’ve always admired different personalities, but only recently have I stopped feeling comfortable with my own. I used to walk, talk, and swing with the animals with a confidence born of the fact that I knew who I was, and he was a cool guy by my standards.

I’ve changed. But more importantly, I just realized that I left my lunch at home.

Fuck.

NEWS

Patrick is out of commission for a while, as of 4:15 PM, Sunday August 12 following a severe injury to his lower back.

He was performing a backflip and his rotation was too fast; he overshot the landing and impaled the small of his back on a spike coming off a fence.

He wants everyone to know that sadly no, he didn't get it on camera, but it looked cool as fuck, and he'll be back on the streets soon.
