Breaking TV (June 11 2013)[i]

☼ ○ ▬

Chaperoning a small class of kids between the ages of 5 and 6. I tease them with a bag of Skittles hiding them in a corner. I pretend to pull them out and the whole class belts out ah's and oh's. Eventually I hand them out. The room has expanded and now there's a bunch of people my age gathered around rectangular tables. I'm carrying a bowl of cream of wheat in my right hand and a small cup of milk in my left. As I'm maneuvering down the aisles Skippy stands in front me as a joke and makes it difficult for me to get by.

Me: "Dude! C'mon. I've got shit in my hands."

In the process a credit card that doesn't even belong to me gets bent so bad that it rips in two. I scold Skippy from across the room.

Me: "Dangit, Skippy! This isn't even my card."

He's got a silly grin on his face. I run over and demand we talk in private. We walk behind the door at the top of a staircase. People keep coming in and out

Waking up at 2:30 p.m.


Downstairs making breakfast. I notice Laron tearing apart a bagel.

Me: "What are you doing over there? Is that how you always eat bagels?"

Laron: "Yeah. I know it's weird."

I run upstairs and yell back, "The Bagel Crumble by Laron!"


Cinnamon Raisin Toast. Orange Juice.


Stopping by the thrift store, visiting with Elliott and picking up some forks, glasses, and a blender. Out back Elliott has to throw away sub-par furniture and items that can't be sold into a big dumpster. He takes a 15-pound weight and slams it into a TV causing the glass screen to explode. I have a go at another one. He uses my phone to record a video of me breaking a TV but unfortunately all we have is this lousy picture because he forgot to actually hit the button.


Egg Sandwich with Tomato and Mayonnaise. Honey Oolong Tea.


With Anthony and Skippy on the Friend's School basketball courts playing H.O.R.S.E. and such. Skippy managed to get his hands on a sweet boom box. We walk back to the house in badass style with the stereo blasting "Straight Outta Compton".


Papaya.


Organizing and cleaning my office space.


Barbecue Garlic Salmon with Peppers, Onions, Kale, Carrots, and Rice.

Watching The Rainmaker (1997).


Wildberry Pie and Milk.


Working on music.


Sleep 5 a.m.
