burnin, man!

as i write this i am sitting on the edge of a familiarly unfamiliar couch in reno, nevada--on the edge of a dusty, purple/red horizon that looks faintly like a man with his arms raised above his head in victory, and lemme tell you baby--we are ready to burn, man. one last morning of predictability--coffee, couch surfin' big talk (the opposite of small talk), sleepy smiles and the clacking of impatient fingers on keypad--soon we will be thrust into the wholly unexplained, unpredictable, wild-eyed fury of the fiery abyss.

salt lake city was beautiful, a frighteningly clean jewel amidst the swelling rocky mountain range that cradled it, and there we found yet another psychadelic couch ready and willing to swallow us up in its blissful arms. we encountered food not bombs and met a bizarro-tony hall who argued against BMan due to its "intrinsic corporate-ness" though he was not too proud to hand over some stale hippie bread and soft strawberries, which we ate with furious abandon-- indeed, we were too hippie-happy to break it to him that without those intrinsically "corporate" organizations he detests so much those strawberries would not be in so much gluttonous abundance they could be found in every dumpster on every street corner everywhere from sea to shining salt lake. but i digress (or regress). we also stumbled upon some mutant eyelined juggalos sustaining themselves on free veggie chili-gruel and classy 2 liters of dr. thunder (why wasn't it faygo?)...alex was enthralled, but couldn't bring himself to WHOOP WHOOP in their presence...i, however, had no such restraint. of course, as soon as the chuggaloads turned around and acknowledged me, i giggled like a japanese schoolgirl and hid behind alex like a squirrel skittering up a tree trunk.

i don't know what the fuck is going to happen next, but i have faith it will happen exactly as it needs to.

LOVE!
