Summer is coming to an end. My employment has broken apart. My 4th semester at college begins in less than a week. Somewhere in all this I am supposed to open the door that gets me out of St. Louis.
It is possible, that by the end of the year I will be set to head to Seattle, hardly looking back at the midwest. A blind jump in a cold lake.
I've always been interested in cold water.

Amusing
The young folks I know in St. Louis either despise the time spent here away from college or are in denial of the shitty people they call friends.
I learned a long time ago to keep the exploiters at at arms length. Its hard to push away people who constantly bum rides, talk shit about you, and do everything in their power to not grow up. Those people tend to have some characteristic that is appealing, a certain outgoingness is usually the case. Bohemian attitude a close second.
But these young folks, like those who returned to the Zone of Alienation after the nuclear disaster of 1986, they believe in and pray for something that will never be.
