When I was younger I read about alot of religions and how they went about burrying people... I was facinated by it since I saw and still see the dead all around me and I've cheated death more than once....
I don't remember what religion it was really, but I was facinated by it more than anyother... because they washed their dead... not once.. but twice. the first washing was to wash away the physical dirt that this lovely place has to offer and the second bath was to wash away the sins of the soul...
Tonight like several other scattered nights of my past, I bathed twice, made the water perfect, stepped in, started with my hair, rinced, applied conditioner, shaved my legs, lathered my body, washed my face, rinced the conditioner and then started all over like I hadn't done it already... taking my time, making every movement meaningful and worth it.... I guess its just my way of accepting death... if he should come to me tonight I would be ready...
I'm half tempted to take the bike out tonight and with wreckless abandon let fate and my inexperance take over. But I can't... I haven't said my good-bye's yet to two people that mean the most to me...
Mostly I'm scared... scared of what I'm getting myself into in many aspects of my life... I'm scared that it has been so easy to let you back into my life after all this time, after all the years I spent hating you for what you made me do, I'm scared of my debts that just keep piling up and I don't have the time to get enough money to pay them off enough to make it worth it. I'm scared of what my future brings... And in someways I don't want to be around to find out.
