This week can walk with its head held high. This week shall mount up with wings like eagles. This week is a mover and a shaker and a candlestick maker.

It’s been a, you know, good week.

Here’s why: I got response from an e-mail I sent to a highschool teacher. “Every now and then astudent like you comes along and makes it totally worthwhile.” Through the visual handicaps of acne, scrawny physique, fashion senselessness – she saw the something else. Everyone has the something else, but not everyone sees it, or says that they see it. She did both. I wonder if she’s trying to trace the new me over the old me on her light board mind. Think of it: all that separates me then from me now is her memory. I’m cement, but I’m not dry yet.
