"You can't go back home to your family, back home to your childhood, back home to romantic love, back home to a young man's dreams of glory and of fame, back home to exile, to escape to Europe and some foreign land, back home to lyricism, to singing just for singing's sake, back home to aestheticism, to one's youthful idea of 'the artist' and the all-sufficiency of 'art' and 'beauty' and 'love,' back home to the ivory tower, back home to places in the country, to the cottage in Bermude, away from all the strife and conflict of the world, back home to the father you have lost and have been looking for, back home to someone who can help you, save you, ease the burden for you, back home to the old forms and systems of things which once seemed everlasting but which are changing all the time--back home to the escapes of Time and Memory."

Day 5 - Tired and Annoyed by Stupid Men

I don't have time for a detailed blog entry tonight. I'm too shitass tired as fuckin all hell goddam. 8 hrs straight drivin on the road is not the biz... and dealing with creepy ass motel keepers hitting on you when you just want to check into your room and go to sleep is NOT cool!!!

Feel a lil better after bringing my stuff up, getting some fresh air and pacing the parking lot while I talk to Indigo Boy to wind down and try to settle down enough to sleep. My mom tells me to bar the door--to put a chair up next to it, which I think I will do.

I'm all about budget lux, but not this kind of crap. This is budget, but defintely not lux.

Little Rock and the Clinton Presidential Library awaits me tomorrow! then a night in Memphis. I managed to avoid the the tornadoes and hail... everything else is good. And I think Liberty is just around the corner! :-)
