Mark's Pages

February 23, 2010:

Mark with back Tele. The joy in that face. He'd found himself.

Budweiser can. Cute girlfriend's cute ass. T-shirt from a record store in Wisconsin: a gift to the band on an early tour with his friends' successful college radio outfit.

His childhood bedroom. His three best friends.

I can't help but think part of that joy originated in freedom from the debilitating relationship which came before and after. Eye of the hurricane. That's not very nice of me, but it's reasonable.
