space filler.

aloha, duders.
sorry i missed you yesterday,
but i literally spent twenty four hours traveling through the
ports and skies of the whole flippin' united states.
yuuuuuuuuuuup.
in the name of personal space,
and in the interest of leaving room for growth and change.
awwwwwwwww, man!
so now,
i'm on a windy rock in the western waters of the world.
and it's raining.
of course.
dallas/fort worth airport, neighbors?
yeah.
i spent a little time geting to know it.
like five and a half hours worth.
uh-huh.
y'know what's even better than long flight?
yep.
long layovers.
that 'middle leg' of the trip was even longer than the first,
and i spent all of it on the ground.
real life has a way of trying to F* off your A*, kids.
although,
i had the only free seat next to me on the way here.
seriously.
i started out in the middle of the middle.
anybody who has flown on a real man-sized plane knows
that that's the worst. it's like a cramped
and clammy fart-sandwich, where you whiff all
the least desirable stuff the human body can ingest or emit.
but,
a couple of pineapple-eating fruitblasters swapped
for an aisle seat,
and my neighbor got nervous and changed her seat immediately.
that's right, y'all.
i had my own perfectly uncomfortable alcove.
add in a complimentary blanket,
and that batch of hours and hours was still brutal.
luckily,
it's rainy and windy.
my two favorites.
it's early here,
despite what my body tells me,
and there's a whole lot of big fun hiding around here somewhere.
we'll see what happens when it all really is.
i've got ducks outside my window,
and the centipedes gave me the first night off.
taking space;
never quiet, never soft.....
