It's Always 4:20 In The Bathroom Of Clear Thought

I have two posts in draft. I don't know why. I can't seem to finish things this week, and I keep getting interrupted.

I lived in an apartment. It was the hub of activity. It had many goods and many bads. It's one of those places that I know I could never go back to (the way of life, at least), but I enjoy going back in thought and my inner child laughs her head off every time! We had a psycho cat that attacked you. We had our own holiday. We had a porch.

I'm totally regressing right now, and I can't explain that, either.

We had a friend who broke stuff. He was funny. He spent a really long time in our bathroom one day. He declared it the 'bathroom of clear thought'. I suppose it really was the only place to escape the madness. We made a beautiful little sign that hung in there.

"It's Always 4:20 In The Bathroom Of Clear Thought"

I think I still have that sign somewhere. I can't throw things like that away. I also have the same coffee table, which is a whole other story. Sort of an antiqued/barnacles under the sea kind of look. Had a little incident with the sponge painting.

Considering how much I've moved in my life, I get really attached to my apartments sometimes. But I also really love the new ones.

We all move on from things, from times, from people, from places like this, and that's good.

But they don't move on from us, and that's good, too.

Did he share his stash at least?
Do you like regressing sometimes? I do. I forget so much good stuff sometimes it surprises me.
Chin up, DL. :)

Oh yes, there was lots of sharing. No bogarting in our apartment!!!

And I do like it...I've just been doing it *A LOT* for some reason! Chin is up, Jack...thanks. :-)

Does the "bathroom of clear thought" still exsist? Give me the adress, I'll go knock on the door and let them know I'm in serious need of some clear thought right now. I'm sure they'll understand.

Oh yes Darek, it still exists. Believe, there've been times I've wanted to go drink a beer or two on the porch as well...hell, it's a college town - go use their bathroom if you want to, they probably won't notice. :-)

This was a really nice post, DL. I just wanted to say that -- I read it earlier this morning and it made me smile.

And it's always 4:20 in my apartment of clear thought. Just don't look out the window at the smushed car of depression.

I'm very glad you liked it, jku. :-)
I suppose it could be 4:20 in the Smushed Car of Depression, but you might have a difficult time if it had to be the getaway car...

Good point, DL, very good point.

Now, take the quiz!
