Dear Patty,
im writing you because i havent in a long while. im living in cupertino currently. its fascinating place. during our grandparents era i hear it was mostly farmland. but now its mostly asian, vietnamese actaully, Theyre a pushy and aggressive culture, but not directly to your face, its more passive and indirect. me and ----- ------- buy 40s and ride our fixed gears in the street up and down as fast as we can, wobbling drunk off our asses with the stale taste of steel reserve and vaporized e cigarette nicotine still in our mouths. sometimes we go to the parks and relive our childhood memories. other times we ride to donut wheel and shit in the grimy old booths bullshitting and talking way too loud for a donut shp at 4:23 in the am. the asian students pouring over their text books stare at us like were aliens. we stare right back. ----- talks to me about people that have genuine character or personality, or one of his trips. i talk to him about andre 3000. you know that rhyme in the art of story telling? " so im watchin her fine ass walk to my bedroom thought to myself thats the shape of things to come, she said why in the club you dont make it precipitate? you know make it rain im like why? the world needs sun, the HOOD NEEDS FUN." its true you know.
best wishes
