I HAVE TO FINISH SAYONARA TODAY. Good luck son. I think I can, I think I can. God it is a beautiful day. I caught myself saying, it is what it is, numerous times in the last couple days while trying to finish this comic, fuck. Like when I was fire fighting a couple of years ago, my crew boss, Amananda, (the names have not been changed in order to destroy my friends identities.) would say basically. The way this works is our crew bosses are the most informed on what our crew is doing each day, so the give the crew a briefing, I would count how many times she would say basically. And then it happened, I started saying it, I got it in my head, and it kept popping out. Like the situation when you mention some thing or notice something, and then you start seeing it everywhere, yeah, insidious like that.
I was doing a little math in my head this morning, if I spend three dollars a day on tea a day after a year I will have spent seven hundred and twenty dollars a year. god damn, good thing I only spend between two and two fifty on tea, and I don't drink any of those fancy coffee drinks. But if I made seventy two thousand dollars a year I could spend three hundred dollars o tea a day, that's a whole 'lota tea. The things you do when you spend too much time in your head.
So last night I was sitting at this coffee, no more of a bubble tea Internet cafe near my house, chatting to this barista while I drew and I mentioned that I had moved here from Eugene, she was like, (she was definitely a girl who was like) I'm from Eugene. I asked what schools she went to. She listed off six, including a extension school. I asked her her age. And all I could think was, Little Chris and Sara know this girl. I don't know exactly how I felt, it wasn't it's a small world kinda feeling. I know that feeling and it is usually a nice feeling. Like, wow, I can pick up and go anywhere and the threads of the world are spinning around me and I am tied to other people in my life, no, not like that, more like I cannot get away, like the strands of my life are wrapping around my ankles. Maybe I'm going a little far.
Well I HAVE TO FINISH SAYONARA TODAY, so bye
Another bus stop philosopher once told me, "You can travel anywhere and be physically alone but if you know how many degrees away from Kevin Bacon you are, then you know you will always know someone." Damn Kevin Bacon and his six degrees of separation!
