Slide in General

Twenty years ago I was in the middle of the Pacific ocean. Somewhere between Sandog and Hawaii. The early summer I had spent the weekends in the BOQ at the Amphib base on North Island. No way in hell I was going to ever listen to a band called “Goo Goo Dolls.”

And. Yet I did.

When I think back on those days, all I have is feelings. I was good at my job. I sucked at relationships. I liked pretty.

I had no idea who May was. Being in love with love has cost me through my lifetime.

This song makes me think San Diego. That fifth floor BOQ room. The pacific ocean. And what the fuck was I doing with my life.
Still haven’t sorted that one out.

The most hilarious aspect of my life remains that I could meet a stripper tomorrow. And marry her. And I will have not learned a single lesson in this life. Because I am addicted to pretty.

And I’ll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Oh, May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh, May
Do you wanna get married, or run away?
