Have a nice Trip. See you next Fall.

I don't like the Fall.
I don't like it for a few reasons.
1. It means the end of Summer.
2. I think I associate it with going back to school, which I always hated.
Although I never held back when it came to the clothes I wore, or the people I associated with, I was always painfully shy.

Anyway, just like a song or smell will trigger your memory, the weather always triggers mine.

As the weather keeps getting cooler, I keep getting flashbacks to this time last year. I had just met Myke and we would go sneaker shopping and thrift store shopping and walk around New York and Philly.

This weather reminds me of getting sick and being out of work for 5 days. It was the worst physical pain I've experienced in my life to date. At the same time, I'm glad I went through it.
Listening to MIA makes me think of this weather too. I don't know why.
I haven't listened to MIA in a while. A long while. I remember listening to her when I was younger and only a few people knew who she was.

MIA makes me think of Dionn.
I hadn't talked to her in a long time, and a few weeks ago she called me at 7:30 in the morning and was eating cherry pie.
I miss Dionn.
We have a very similar thought process and we feed off of each other's ideas.
Honestly, I haven't seen her since right before I moved to New York - and that was in 2006.

Dionn makes me think of Jaamal.

Jaamal makes me think of crazy dieting, crazy exercise, the Gathering, New York and burritos.

New York and burritos makes me think of the Lower East Side.

The Lower East Side makes me think of Jah Jah.
Jah Jah makes me think of lots of things, but let's go with this one:

Jah Jah makes me think of Ana.
I miss Ana.

Ana makes me think of Sterling.

Sterling makes me think of Shon.
Shon and I are having dinner tonight. Her birthday was August 31st and I haven't seen her.

Dinner makes me think of my family.

My family makes me feel sad.
Not because they make me sad, but because they're really proud of me and I feel like a brat for kind of being unsatisfied with my life.

Oh, the weather.
