wade
i just came across a site called oneword.com and found the idea worth exploring, primarily because they only asked for 60 seconds of my time. you get one word, and have 60 seconds to write about it. i don't really know yet what happens after that. very good memories (somehow they are good now) from when i was 20 years old at a bachelor party in vegas, and had, for better or worse, been separated from the group in the days before common cell phone usage i.e. my ownership of one. i did call jon and wade (early adopters of the cell phone) however many times you can call someone from a payphone with $20 in quarters and went straight to voicemail (early adopters of energy conservation apparently). then i gave up and went back to the hotel and read vonnegut's bluebeard in the bathtub with a 40oz. of coors light. ok, and this is where that story leaves off and the 60 second version begins on oneword.com upon being blessed with the word 'wade' as the word of the day):
my friend wade scattered his possessions on the sidewalk across the street from barbary coast hotel. it was good that he sat down and did this, because at that moment, i walked over to buy another 40oz. and some more cigarettes after being separated from the group. he sat there, and had his skull mug, loose change and cell phone creating a barrier against any danger from the locals and ate his $2 hot dog that came with a free heineken moments earlier.
i wish i had more time, but i guess that wasn't the point. if you are one of the 24 readers of this site, and have 60 seconds to spare, i will shamelessly rip them off and ask you to leave a comment, without thinking before writing...your word of inspiration is "flog"
goodnight.
