A lot of things on my mind. Bits of sadness. I need a new filter. I need a distraction other than sleep and work.


Distractions that make me think. There was a man last night, a customer who had a pepperoni pizza tattooed on his forearm. A pepperoni pizza all big and round just below the elbow. This gave me minutes to waste contemplating pizza tattoo. The significance of a pepperoni pizza, in color. What artist created such a masterpiece of pizza? I imagine it to be hand-tossed. Or is it Chicago Style? Is the canvas Italian or a mobster? So many ideas swirling in my head as I fluffed the plastic bags and said "have a good evening".

Sobriety is tough.

sobriety is wonderful....and sometimes a life saver

Man,
It's the tattoo that is haunting me today

watching videos of old songs serves as a distraction for me. sadness to me is one of the stronger emotions i experience. as with all other emotions i savor it, chew it up and spit it out. i do try to prolong the other emotions i prefer: happiness, love, even solitude at times(not an emotion). anyway, i was just trying to cheer you up.

I commend your creativity. Sobriety is tough. I just recently gave up smoking green. I was a burner for 30 years. I claimed how creative I would be, when high. But now I realize, after all these accumulated years, I am creative without it. One day at a time my friend. That's all we can do.
