I got no feeling from your story about the bomb
You crashed your car and broke your leg, told me and went on and on
A house fell on your sis and someone stole your kicks
You think you've got something to say

I don't care, Ignore it, I don't care

Don't know if it's my meds or sociopathy causing it

But no matter what you say I can't give a shit about it

You confide in me and I pretend to smile and nod

I missed it you said raped, fired, homeless, amputated?

I wasn't listening cause

I don't care, Ignore it, I don't care

You want my sympathy, but that well's gone dry,
You say I listen well, but I am not that guy
You just go on and on, I need a quick escape
You think I give a shit but I'm completely fake

Ignore it, Ignore it

Do you realize you're the top 1% of the world? 

Born in the age when information came unfurled?

You don't know hunger, crime and disease are very low

And you bitch about a show?

I don't care, Ignore it
I don't care, Ignore it, I love it
I don't care, Ignore, I don't care

You care about these things, like the president,
That gas price went up, or that you can't make rent,
I can't feel pity, or turn on empathy
You want my sympathy, but I'm completely spent.

I don't care, Ignore it, Ignore it, I don't care

Still dying

36 down, 36 to go

I'm in so much pain and Hunter is so hard to raise kind and I have no one to talk about it with because of time zones and traveling wife and I'm not there with my new island friends yet.  I'm ded.

7:00 wake up, get boy ready
8:00 drop-off boy, wife leaves

8:00 - 3:00 any of the following:
breakfast, laundry, dishes, cleaning, shopping, read, lunch, music, cooking, yell at people on the internet

3:00 pick-up boy, play time, homework, martial arts
5:00 cooking, dinner
6:00 tv time
7:30 bath time
8:00 bed time
8:00 - 11:00 yell at people on the internet, wife returns, sleep

Bored/ing

I'm bored, which is normal, but feeling boring as well.
So I'm going to rest on my laurels and recite them in choral.
I wake up every morning ready to greet greatness
And get greeted by a great mess work in progress.

Lasers and cars and motorcycles and lightning
And psychotic giants and underwater escaping
Have failed to stop me and make me cease to be.
Wake up to pills, whiskey, cigars, and ennui

I used to race cars and jump out of planes
Set Guinness records and cause myself pain.
Lived the breadth of my life. Now I'm living the length
Waiting on the next opportunity to show strength

I got five more months and I'm counting the minutes
Until I can split. I've already quit as a misfit.
Going out of the state until then out of my skull
Bad's always better because good's always dull.

Maui

We're moving to Maui.  Two Orlando-loving semi-adults and a Disney kid. (probably, it's not locked in yet, for five ish years)

So Hunter grows up to age 5 in Disney World and to age 10 in Hawaii.  Spoiled brat.

Maui has one comic book store, the main place to purchase things is a Costco, but we'll be an hour away from even that level of urbanization.  We're going to be on the resort side of things.  We visit in two weeks, but I'm imagining International Drive with a beachfront.  And I hate the beach.

Now I really, really want to move there.  I do.  But I really, really, really like being negative as well.  It makes you seem prophetic when the inevitable doom starts rolling in.

I've been researching like hell all the great things about Maui and Hawaiian life from Pidgin to poke.  But I wanted to make a list of all the things I'll miss about Orlando while I'm on a tiny island in the Pacific, 3000 miles from anything else.  See, this way, if it all falls through, I can look at this list as all the reasons I should be happy we're staying.

1. The lack of beach
2. Comic book stores
3. Something to do after 8pm
4. Readily available supplies for any adventure
5. Driving for a really long time
6. Pokemon Go
7. The ability to make an ass of myself and never see the same people again
8. The buffet of culture - not delicious, but there's something of every kind
9. A choice in medical and psychiatric care
10. My friends.  HA!  No, fuck those bastards.
11. Karaoke every night of the week
12. Corona Cigar Company
13. Orange Blossom Pilsner
14. Bars with passwords behind bookshelves
15. Pub crawling
16. Dungeons and Dragons
17. Wah Lum Kung Fu Temple
18. Good schools
19. Lazy Moon pizza
20. Tijuana Flats
21. Jeremiah's Italian Ice
22. Churrascarias - where the Brazilians feed you meat on swords
23. Mall graveyards
24. Disney World, Universal Studios, Legoland, just all the tourist attractions
25. Teaching motorcycle riding
26. Semi-monthly visits with Mom
27. Christmas dinner with In-laws (they're delightful)
28. Oh god... Publix.  Subs, wings, cleanliness
29. The Ravenous Pig
30. The Meathouse
31. Easy-to-score freelance writing gigs
32. Variety on GroupOn

I thought there'd be more but a large chunk of my loves of Orlando were eliminated as they are probably available on Maui (Asian food, local art) or they were examples of things I just like to hate (Full Sail, bad drivers) or both (tourists, heat).

Here's things I'm looking forward to in Maui.

1. Island time
2. Tourists
3. Heat
4. A focused epicenter of culture
5. New foods and new ways of eating
6. New friends that don't know I'm a horrible person.  Yet.
7. Halloween is apparently a big deal
8. Goat farm - milk and cheese
9. Living with less
10. More time with Kiri
11. International vacations - it'd cost half as much as coming back to Orlando than going to Japan or Australia

I'd like to unsubscribe from the postal service

One of my favorite Seinfeld bits is when Kramer tries to cancel his mail service.  I so wish it was possible.  The best you can do is hold your mail for 30 days over and over, getting one delivery a month.  Kiri isn't interested in that.  I've managed to reduce my junk mail to Cycle Gear and a couple Occupant flyers.  This year I've kept track of what I've gotten delivered to the house, FedEx/UPS/etc included.  Just to get an idea.
