holy shit! i smoked out of dining-hall apples we'd do the 90-degree holes with a bic pen all through high school, that's the last thing you'd expect to see a movie star doing. you didn't want to keep a bong or bubbler in your room since you couldn't hide it and i lose shit constantly, especially things the size of pipes so i've never owned one. that's awesome, but a bittersweet reminder of days when my friend slipped off a third-story roof at 3am in january and things were just more fun. what the fuck happened to me? i'm in a suit eating lunch at my desk using the laptop i bring from home to feel anger towards a man named "wankus" on a porn forum.
speaking of how adulthood fucking sucks, during my haitus i'm in manhattan in the back of a car with a guy who was in the wsj twice and published in the harvard bidness review in the last 2 months and will realistically move on to be the ceo of dell, amex or ebay since his job is where they find that kind of people. i should be painfully-deliberate about every word i say to him, but we're stuck behind a garbage truck on a cross street. somehow, in my xpt-warped sense of appropriateness i just blurt out, "have you ever seen a japanese garbageman? i think it must be very dishonorable and shameful in their culture, i bet they enslave koreans to do it"
i realize what i've just done in horror and curse the name kyoto for ruining my future.
the dude just starts laughing hysterically and can't get over the fact a full-blooded japanese garbageman is the unicorn of the waste-management industry. he then tells me it's the funniest thing he's heard in a week. i've yet to fully come to terms with the whole thing-that life isn't that funny; that my sense of humor may never mature despite the expectation that i'm a serious person; and most importantly that i've NEVER fucking seen a japanese trashman.
