The Days are Just Packed
2002-04-27 - 11:15 p.m.

Today was a nice happy cloudy day, happy cloudy in the sky sense, and cloudy in the "I was in a happy cloud" sense, as today was Sidewalks Arts Festival, a huge SCAD event which brings out tons of people to Forsyth Park. The main path of the park has students drawing in chalk squares, and there are tents with other amusing things going on... and there's music playing, and there's a giant slide... I did it all this year. I walked the park many many times, scoping out the drawings, and more importantly, the HUGE amount of cute boys drawing and looking at the drawings... hanging out with friends from all over- just really enjoying myself. I saw a Mike that I hadn't seen in two or three years who moved to California, as president of my college's gay group before I was, he was someone who really helped me a lot just by existing... he was looking good, and I was supposed to go to the club with him tonight... but alas, a lot of that walking I did today was also looking for people who I got separated from so, so easily. Mike, wherever you be, much love!

Then I also saw my old boss chilling at sidewalk arts- I loved her too. So... pretty faces, old familiar faces, lots of public gayness, from the Lambda squares and the squares of my gay friends... it was very cool, once again. Then, oh yeah, there was Jesse- he was in this black full body spandex-y thing, running a ribbon around the park with his fellow acting friends, and generally running around acting goofy when he wasn't doing that. He played the part well... we waited on line to get to the super slide while both being mute and getting taunted by small children. A good time was had by all... well... not so much Jesse, I guess. I was amused.

And then tonight, I saw Scorpion King for the SECOND time. It wasn't a "it's so good I wanna see it twice" thing, it was a "my company hasn't seen it, and I just want nachos" thing. It's really cheesey, but I actually still enjoyed it on this my second viewing- sometimes when I see movies a lot, I tend to pick on it more.. but I behaved. I was a happy nacho eating movie goer.

So yeah. I can not stress how generally euphoric I remained for most of the day. It's possible that it was the leftover Red Bull in my system from last night.. but then, if I look back to my older posts... Sidewalks Arts is always just a really good time for me. I feel so.. hokey. Simple pleasures do count for something though, I guess.

Rock, whoo.

"Nubian eyes are watching you, Scorpion King!" - the big guy from Green Mile to the Rock... tee hee!

Oh! Oh! And it's my dad's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! We spoke briefly on the phone. He seems content, they're doing fine.

Using phrase "da bomb" unwittingly in phone tapped conversations could lead to arrest and beatings by the FBI, local authorities, and hip police.

Reason for Terror # 81:

There was a little bit of mold on that bread you had this morning.

Reason for Terror # 80:

When evening falls, you can try to drive away; but the moon will be following... always following...
