I DO NOT care who got an apartment before me, got their licence before me, a car before me, got a degree before me. I don’t care what it is, ANYTHING BEFORE ME. That’s your time, not mine. And trust me, my time is going to come for whatever it is.
I was at the DMV. Renewing my license. Man in front of me. Paying tickets. $280. He counted cash twice. Had $240. Short $40. Clerk said “Can’t process without full payment.” He asked if he could come back Friday. Payday. She said “License is suspended until paid. Can’t drive.” He put his head down. Said “I need to drive. For work. I’m a driver. This is my job.” Walked away. Sat on the bench. Defeated. I went to the window. Said “That man’s tickets. I’ll pay the $40.” Clerk called him back.
Why doesn't weed make conversations hilarious and chaotic anymore? Back in the day we'd be crying laughing at nothing. Now it's just four people nodding silently like we're solving quantum physics.
