Stop the stampeding gorillas......just stop them.

About Me

I've been coming to terms with my squidhood for about 6 months now. I'll never forget the day it hit me. I was walking back to our tent, a couple hours late, as usual, but ready to pack up and hit the road. But Heather was nowhere in sight and all I found was my stuff strewn all over the place, and the fucking tentpoles. So I kinda knew it was gonna be okay. Cuz I knew she still needed me, and I her. After all, she'd forgotten the fucking tent poles. Eventually I found that bombshell bitch in the backcountry of what I thought would be OUR but instead would become MY beloved Iceland. But that's not the point. It was along the way, laying my sleeping bag on rocks (no tent) and staring at the stars with watery eyes I realized I'm not cut out for this world's hard skeleton or for any of this human cruelty bullshit. I realized my true home is and always will be the ocean. And deep down inside I'm just a squid that was at some point highjacked from the salty waters and brainwashed into thinking, acting, and looking like a human. Slowly but surely I hitchhiked my way to the mountain camp Heather and I had talked about going to. I found her sleeping in some forty-something's tent complaining of menstrual cramps. But that's not the point. I love Heather. I can't fucking help it cuz she's a squid too. And I miss her. Like my old friend Jan said there are some people we will always be missing.

let me spare many of you the need, or satisfaction, of saying "I told you so"... by asking all my previous assumptions about everything and anything to kindly exit stage left
