1 clean bathroom: no shit done

I think that perhaps there are many different types of people, but three that I am concerned with at the moment:

1. People who get shit done.
Kerry is a person who gets shit done. Robbie Q is another good example. They are constantly juggling 28 different projects while pursuing/achieving important accomplishments in their lives and they still manage to join the local kickball team or watermelon eating competition. You know what I say to you guys? Yeah? I say that I cleaned my bathroom tonight, AND did my laundry. So, you know, I am capable too.

2. People who wish to get shit done, but cannot get around to doing so.
This. Is. Me. I get overwhelmed if it takes me longer to get home than usual. I work 40 hours a week, so then nothing else I want to accomplish ever gets done. I make lists that I have to then throw away.
Example: I bought a scooter in January. I still have not transferred the title. I will now get a $110 fee for being lazy. AND even though I know I need to get it done, I still cannot figure out how to get there or how to go about getting it done. It just hurts my brain.
Example 2: My brothers wedding is coming up so quickly. Every time I look for plane tickets I know that it means I have to make a decision about my travels. This is not looking hopeful.

3. People who do not care about getting shit done, and do not get anything done.
These people are sometimes homeless.

I guess then, to be fair, there must be a
4) People who do not care about getting shit done, and STILL get shit done.
Have you met them? They are lucky people who get paid to do what they love, but never had to work a day in their life to get there. I am thinking of the guy who started dancing on the mountaintops and in city streets and then got sponsored to do that. I would wager this is less than 1% of the human population, but I bet they are out there, so kudos to them.
I WOULD say this includes artists, but art is hard work. Getting noticed in art is hard work. Lots of things are hard work.

I think it is safe to say that I do not like hard work.

I also do not like grown up things.

I also do no like my own inability to get shit done.

I am open to suggestions.

15/30 Your Name Means Late-Summer or Warlike Girl, you make me want to say girl in that way where the rrrrrr ’s roll out forever and the i becomes a u . Yeah. That’s right. And you make me want to roll up the bottom of my jeans, shove collected countries in the back pockets and collected men between my thighs. Stop collecting dreams. Girl, you make me want to rock climb—cover myself in that fine chalk powder dust, grunt like I want it, till my hand skin comes off in chunks. And you make me want to eat meat. Fuck chicken and fish. I mean steak. Cooked rare. Make me want to barbecue, corn kernels for floss and watermelon seeds for spitting. You make me want to shower in garden-hoses, drink BudLight around campfires, wear flannel. Want to tan like I was one-sixteenth Indian. Girl, you make me want to get high and ride public transportation with the retarded kids. Or stay up all night driving the screen saver into space. Girl. You make me want to slow. this. shit. down.

2/30 It must be five o'clock already in Chicago, the clouds are full of hail. The books on the shelf are segregated, one for fiction and one for non. I hear them shouting at one another. They shout letters of the alphabet. At the antique store on Western the son of the old man talks about the deal he got on the fabric upstairs--because some old lady died and nobody knew how much that fabric was worth In the room that is second to the entrance there are bins of old photographs. An old man squats, tending to a tree. Dad. Sun Morn. '48. I guess nobody knows, but I'm standing over these bins and I can hear the books at home yelling the alphabet at one another.

All caught up!

10/30 dreamed again. tonight I dreamed of making muffins and babies. I told you (unexpectedly) that you were the only man I'd ever want to make babies with and you told me I was beautiful every day for two-hundred-sixty-six days. we named our children Sweetbelly and Stickylove and when they were outside, we kept them in fruit trees and when they were inside we kept them in our arms. This is how they never learned the feet/ground rules. Then, when we loved too much, we would have to go check on the tomatoes. dreamed again. we didn't have a dishwasher, so that I could take my time with all those muffins. I smiled and told Sweetbelly to be careful. She had jam on her face and it was scorpion season; so then you wrote poetry about scorpions and jam--about sweet tomatoes and muffins. and when it was late at night I would wake and find you rocking Stickylove and fatherhood carefully in your arms--the way my mom used to find dad. Lost in that rocking chair; and then I would lov
