The Grecian Goddess
“Instead of deciding to go home I decided to come to Greece and be a middle class tourist for 2 weeks. Fucking smartest decision I’ve made in years. Patsos Beach Hotel, and it is so wonderful here. I’m sunburned so I have to occupy myself today without going onto the beach. I could go walk around town but it’s so hot. I’ve got 10 days to figure my life out once again then back to London for a few days then back home. What a question to be confronted with today, ‘ What are you going to do when you get back to the States?’ What I’m doing I know. But the question is why am I doing it? That’s the question I’m supposed to be answering here instead of getting sand up my nose. Oh Jeffrey Jeffrey Jeffrey why is it always like this? You know and I don’t but you’re not happy and you should be somewhat. The wind kind of blows everything here and there. It’s easier for me to concentrate on the water and direct when it’s not windy. I have to think of some good rhymes for myself and things. And the way they turn out for the worse for us no matter what we do. Maybe in the end we’ll have this one huge victory where we can invite no one but ourselves and live there in it. I don’t know. I can’t even write anymore. At least it matters.”
