I'm outside of a Starbucks in central Phoenix on a Saturday night. Its not because I'm trendy or because I'm trying to impress a girl. Its because my Internet is down at my house until Monday and work needs the Fabulous Dave Buchta.
I just finished an entire anime series, Samurai Champloo. It was very good, I enjoyed it a lot. Now I can wear this sweatshirt without fear of being a poser because I've never seen all the episodes. Mugen is the best. I dig his fast and loose style and those wooden sandals. I want some.
I realize now there has been a new me growing inside and underneath the old/current me. He's a lot different than the me that you know. He's quiet and barely speaks. He looks people in the eyes a lot. He lets them see a small, kind smile. His words are soft and he moves quiet and slow.
You've never seen this me. Nobody does but strangers. I guess the current me will remain active until the new me is done. Just so there isn't any loss of service, haha. The old me is there for you because you know him. If you got the new me so suddenly you'd ask what was wrong and think he was sad. The old me is there for you because he knows you and you know him. The new me has a whole different interface but the backend is the same. The old me is propped up in many places and is solid. The new me is pink and soft like a baby. The old me loves you, and so does the new one.
I like this Quiet Dave. For a long secret time its the way I've wanted to be. Quiet and nice. A benevolent face and a soft voice. The Old Dave is loud and silly. He's always cracking jokes and doing some kind of song and dance. Quiet Dave is more quality and less quantity. He saves his energy for other things. He still knows a good joke and likes to curse.
I'm waiting for The Misses to get back with a credit card sized object that divulges secret codes so I can get into work. I left it at home and...oh. Here she is.
Sleep well, my friends and loved ones. Sleep well.
