Current Musical Selection: Bob Marley - Could You Be Loved

well this weekend was boring, but i made it fun.

i ended up driving all around the 3 county area yesterday, then just ended up in dport for most the night. got to hang out with erin s., j, sarah and everyone back home. it was nice. parents were gone out of town, so was the dog. so there wasnt even much point it stopping by their place. just cruised around town driving and remembering things till about 5 am, when i decided to drive back to iowa city. not a cop in sight the entire time. i took some pictures, but the batteries were dying so i didnt get alot. ive got some others at home i havent posted either. not much though. next weekend i get off im driving out somewhere fucking off the wall and getting some neat pictures. havent decided yet. figured i wont till i go. it makes it all the more interesting when i do it that way.

it was interesting, however, just driving through davenport. so much keeps changing around there. lots of stuff is still the same, but enough has changed that there are places of town i dont even recognize much anymore. a good example is right downtown, around main and 2nd... that whole area west of the Radison hotel/ rivermusic area is just totally different. i remember marching in parades downtown in highschool, and nothing looks the same. infact building and parking lots used as landmarks for kids to know where to stage are arent even there now. very scary. its for the better though. downtown looks much nicer. still no real business in it yet. but its coming.

drove past my high school, its fucked up. not at all what i knew it to be. samething with my gradeschool. it used to have a sheep farm next door to it. not anymore! somehow the school bought it, and paved it. its now a parkinglot and bout 3/4's of a mile long driveway out to the back. its not right.

even worse. on my way out of town, i drove past someone's old house. i guess just because i like to bleed my self some more. i really dont know why. but none of the cars are familiar. that was one clue. second was no lights on and no activity. it should be a house full of teenagers now. odd clue #2. last thing was the empty forsale sign in the front yard, no sign in it. #3. turns out her parents must have split up and moved. freaky. she and i would talk at night, and shed always tell me shed wish her parents would. guess she got what she wanted. she always did.

i dunno. just in a shock at the state of change..
