Chicago Skyline

I took a recent trip to Chicago this past November of 2024.

It was unseasonably warm, and I must have brought some North Carolina’s weather along for the ride. The plane ride isn’t that long but we were in holding pattern over Lake Michigan. lots of traffic going into this airport it seemed. finally, plane landed. I’m strolling through O’Hare like I own the place, just from pure memory. when I was a young pup my dad used to take me here some Saturday mornings, and back then there wasn’t so much security. You could just stride ride in all the way to the gate without a ticket. My dad being a mechanical engineer loved just watching the planes take off. Me? I was quite mesmerized by the groups of gorgeous women in cute uniforms who looked like models. why are my eyes so delighted to stupidly stare at these objects of wonder and beauty? I wanted to be nice to them and kiss them all over their faces, I’d thought. oh look, I still do huhuhuhuhuh. Read More

dear future version:

this is the last hour of 2024.

last year I slept through it, which is unusual for me really. I was going to fly somewhere. Maybe to Raleigh, maybe to Chicago, spend money, look kinda money in my nifty suit and roll like a big ole pyiamp. but no, crashed. I’m in a different world now: North Carolina y’all.

it was the best of times, it was the…something, I forget huhuhuhuhuh.

I’m alone with a glass/bottle of J’Lhor 🍷, or as my friends and I have called it JLo jokingly (as if she tasted as good as this cheap wine). I’m not a wine snob yo, never have been. I’m rather simple: I like cab. I like the story even of cab, it can grow anywhere. it’s resilient, its an apocalypse survivor. if there ever was an apocalyptic future we will be drinking cabernet.

this isn’t the first post. this is a preface, to give you some lowdown on what you’re in for. normally: who even cares. if you’re here reading, pondering, judging, scrutinizing this thats okay, it’s what cyberspace is all about. exploring new life and new civilizations like Captain Kirk says.

maybe you’re thinking to yourself: self, why are we here? of course it’s either bored, curiosity or a mixture of both. or you just wanted to be here for no other reason to explore, adventure. personally speaking in our attention deficit economy who is there really to even write to/for? what’s my motivation? nothing, passion put me here. passion to write, create, express, whatever. you might not like that, might not like the things I say and the way in which I say them. to which I share two quotes to address that: Read More
