spirits among us

a couple days ago, I was driving to lil Ballard
I came to a four-way stop

I stopped at almost the exact same time as another car
and there was a guy using the crosswalk in front of my car

the other car honked, signaling me to go..
but, the pedestrian was directly in front of my car

"really? you can't see that this guy is using the crosswalk?
fucking open your eyes, I can't go.. YOU GO!"
I thought to myself

so, the guy finished walking across the road.
the other car waited, I went

I kept thinking about it
I know a lot of people never pay attention to anything
but, really? they really couldn't see the guy in the crosswalk

then it hit me, maybe they couldn't
maybe the guy was a spirit
maybe I was the only one that could see him

we've all heard the story of someone killed along a highway
and the ghost hitchhikes that stretch of road


how often does that happen?
how many people around me everyday are spirits?

maybe it looks like I'm talking to myself all the time,
when I might be talking to spirits

hmmmmmmmmmm

boo! whiskey ghost and some robots (progress)

a new friendlier ghost

I had a plan for after I die.

I always wanted to haunt an AM/PM candy isle or a port-a-potty on a remote trail on a mountain somewhere..

I had a dream and it was to make the afterlife fun by haunting a place that's unexpected.

good times!

I had to modify it this week..
through the advice of a friend.

When that time comes and I become a ghost... I have new mission.

I'm going to float around and come up next to a person.

I'll put a comforting, gentle hand on their back...

and whisper in their ear.

"you're beautiful and you're doing a great job"




I like this new mission


Haunting places and people is a little overrated anyway.
