Awaking to the Terror of the New Day
Apr. 13th, 2004 10:54 pmHarvey Pekar - this man is becoming my role model. I could do worse.
"What'm I living for anyway? What've I got t'show for it? Shit gig. No ol' lady for months. Crib that's fallin' apart...
..an' no relief in sight.
I know I gotta get outta this bathtub, but I don't feel like going to work an' every day I go anyway...
[...]
Sometimes I wish I could freak out, have a nervous breakdown, anything to get away from the same old routine.
But I know I won't. I got this far, I guess I'll make it th' rest of th' way.
But whut's th' sense a' hangin' in there if you gotta live like this?... Oh well, if I freaked out I'd have t' start from further back than this. It could be worse."
Late 70s, early 80s? The strip wasn't dated.
