so tired. people upstiars were having sex last night. not only do i hear rythmic thumping, the bed squeaking, but the occasional moans and 'oh yeahs'. its quite disgusting. having to lay in the dark listening to it all. it wasnt loud, or ear shattering, just constant. just enough that id have to hear it. everyone probably was having sex last night. full moon. drunkenness. youth. hormones. i guess its just in the air. its just something else i get to witness. hard to ignore it at 3 am, getting up at 7am.

im starting to wonder what draws the line for pathetic, and what steps over it. tonight i didnt want to go home by myself. sure, i got off at 6... still much later than scheduled. but i didnt want to go home to be alone. so i drove for 20 miles... ended up at some random bar, and had a beer with some old farmers. it was somewhere near Kalona i guess. either way. i suppose that could be pathetic... so could belonging to an online dating thing. so would be paying for it. which i have been. i guess stepping over that line could be the 2 responses ive gotten in nearly 6 months.[the site says the average user draws a response a week] and people wonder why i get down on myself.

but i guess its something i do. something else i just go through, and move on about. nothing much changes. nothing would in iowa. although it is harvest season. i forgret how picturesqe this place can be during this time of year. it was one of those drives that i wish i took my camera on. hard working, honest people, working the land. nothing much signifies more about the spirit and strength of man than that. the colors of the sky, the field, the dusty that rises out of the dried corn leaves. all of it is colorful and striking in its own way.

i guess im talking about nothing. i guess im just rambling again. and i guess i just dont know anything.
