..long time, no write..
An unexpected thing happens. Good or, in this case, bad: i mustn’t let anything like that happen ever again. Oddly enough, i have no desire to make a note of the events which occurred on november 20th - worse things have happened. no matter how extraordinary it may seem to me (and everyone i talk to), there’s nothing really special about the whole incident: far more extraordinary things befall people, and they write & sing songs & make movies about them. Ultimately, it’s not the events that count, but the personal experience they induce. The events make their way toward expression through mere passage of time – their impact will reflect itself through everyday life and my relationship with other people (and myself). This is because i can not stay the same after my face had been cut by a broken bottle; i couldn’t go on unchanged try as i may. The fighting & the cutting, bleeding excessively, driving in an ambulance, having to endure the stitching by a half-asleep doctor who, as i later realized, did an appallingly lousy job; wandering around the hospital, having half of my face under bandages for two weeks & dealing with scars in the months to come, endless explanations to everyone i know and don’t know about what happened to me, all of that has absolutely no extraordinary quality to it. The way these things affect me and people around me, however, might be of some interest. just wait and see, as you always do..
..and yes, i had it coming…
