Mine's a pint
Doog, you only got one person to please man and that's yourself... Nobody will give a shit about how much or how little you smoke, how fukt or sober you are. You consume what you want and how much of it you want and just go with the flow. I expect nothing from anybody and enjoy just doing "our" thing, relaxing and getting to know the poeple behind these nicknames... It will be a sincere and really enjoyable time whether your stoned, high, pissed or sober. I look forward to your definate company at 4:20pm on 4/20, wherever we all be
That will be coffeeshop 420 (De Kuil). I think that's how the tradition goes, and as I've said earlier, if I only make one meeting during the trip then that place on that date at that time WILL be it.
This is actually from a previous one of my Travelplans tread, but I usually have at least one dream like this at some point leading up to a trip to Amsterdam. Not a very pleasant dream, but not a exactly nightmare either.
Suddenly
I am in Amsterdam
Naturally I am elated.
I begin my meanderings
Seeing people I know ...
Everything is great!
Then I realize I forgot to bring my backpack!
I have only the clothes on my back.
I rationalize the situation
It's only a week:
It's like camping:
You can buy new cloths:
...
Suddenly I realize I forgot my money
I haven't forgotten my phone ( ),
But I don't expect it to work
...
I call home ...
it seems to be connecting ...
there is no answer ...
there is bad IP echo when I leave a message.
I put my phone away and I want to go back to my meanderings
but I can't.
The Amsterdam before my 'eyes' fades away
in distance
and in substance
and I awake,
aching
to return.
