con artists

i hate the "dun dun dun" that signifies a shocking, pivotal moment in a movie.
i feel like i hear that sound around every corner in real life when, goddamnit, i'd really like to get it out of my head.


i feel like a good percentage of people around me are lying to me somehow. all i've got up my sleeve is the notion to sit up all night chain-smoking in a lawn chair in my backyard.


all i can do is take things at face value and get some sleep.


i usually look forward to picking people up at the airport.
this time i'd rather be saying goodbye.
