Dear Diary #1
Dear Diary #1,
First, whenever you go to the Olympic Training Center, visit Cody in Denver for a couple days afterwards. Go to the Tattered Cover Bookstore. They’re legit.
Find out more about the lives of Ezra Pound and Dave Schultz. Emulate. Be a better person. Call your family more often. Work harder. Wrestle more. Write more.
Try to avoid bumping up to 74 kg when possible. You’re a little scrawny for it.
Keep writing in your journal (maybe every day?).
Remember the homeless man and woman slow dancing in the light snow, their shopping carts and the half-circle of hobos around them, the cardboard to soften the cold concrete to her feet, wrapped only in long, white socks, stay with me, because you’re all I need echoing out into the city block.
Also, to Julian Torres (author of We the Animals) thank you for writing a hundred pages of a great novel. You had me around your little finger from page one. Why didn’t you follow through for me? I trusted you. Those last thirty pages….maybe you were having a rough month or three during the writing process.
Thanks for always listening.
