unhinged i was standing at the busstop late at night in a questionable neighborhood headed home from a hip hop show. (a friend of a friend got killed after a show outside another bar in the same neighborhood) i decided to keep my ears open and the ipod in my bag. i looked up and saw some suspicious characters walking towards me. i glanced quick back up the street; no bus. the shorter one with the hoodie hollered at me as they walked by 'hey sexy. sexy. sexy.' and i didn't look up. i was all alone. it turned out the bus turned off before my stop and i decided it was better to walk my ass back across the river to the second bus than stand on a corner in the neighborhood where nate got killed.


eye_contact has gotten me into trouble. sad_but_true; in a city like milwaukee you have to be careful who you look in the eye. part of me hates it, but the other night i decided it was the smarter thing to do. so i kept my eyes to myself.



the other day at the coffeeshop an older woman was having trouble getting her mac to connect to the wifi, so i helped her and we started talking. during the course of the conversation, a solitary tear rolled down her cheek. i guess she needed someone to talk to.
