So yesterday, i had a very interesting experience.
i was hanging around on my front porch playing guitar, when a can collector approaches me.
He asked if i had any cans and i said of course, but you have to hang and smoke a cigarette with me. He was into it and i grabbed the cans and threw him a fag.
There's def a bit of smoking culture out there. Aside from being horrible for your lungs, it’s a great medium to talk to a person. i don't smoke regularly, but whenever there's an opportunity to have a conversation through the event of smoking; i'm always down.
The conversation got a little bit interesting and surprisingly Bill (his name is Bill) was a lot more curious about my life than Dave. Here are some of the topics he brought up and asked me about and my responses.
What do you think about global warming?
i really don't care, this world's gonna end in a frecking shit show anyway. (he agreed with my reply)
What color is your personality?
Red, i'm bright and loud. Bill thought purple more represented himself (i'm assuming not for regal purposes though)
How often do you clean your car?
i told Bill i didn't have a car, neither did he. He followed it up by asking what kind of car i would want: "A Volkswagen van." Bill: "I could've guessed."
Do you write in pencil or pen?
Strictly pen, i hate pencils. Bill agreed with this too, he said pencils were for scientists.
Who is your least favorite relative?
Ha, i laughed when he brought this up. There's this one aunt who loves my brother Max and hates me. She gives me tie-tye socks for chrsitmas and never ackownledges my existence, but falls allll over Max.
Coffe or tea?
Tea.
When did you know your true calling?
i looked at Bill when he asked this one. "i can't tell ya man, i've always known it"
"Then what is it?"
"Everyone has the same true calling and that is to be in the present. If your in the present all the time, your calling is always and infinitely immediate, because one's awareness of their present encompasses their presence and being. My true calling is music, and whenever you can silence your thoughts and anxieties, your calling unconsciously manifests."
Would you go sky diving with me?
"Yes Bill," but we discovered that neither of us had the money, unsurprisingly.
What was your favorite moment 2 date?
I live in the present, the past and future entwine to create the now. So my favorite moment is the present, this exact moment, which always means every moment past and future because the rave happens infinitely in the now.
Bill nodded at this response, (he pretty much had enough of my rambling at this point). The cigarettes were dead anyway. He told me to have a good day and walked off.
