These Days I Barely Get By / I Don't Even Try
January 12, 2004, 02:43 pmJesus. I can't believe how quickly a mediocre day can turn worse. The cold weather brings me down, and no one wants to go back to work Monday morning. But then I find out that Brian's house burned down last night. He'd just bought a drumset to play in the Merediths. A Gretsch. All his equipment, his CDs, his clothes... all gone.
It's not even my house, but I'm still freaking out. What do you do when you lose everything? Obviously, I want to help out, but I'm not sure what would be most helpful. His brother posted on the Shit Talker asking for donations of clothes, etc., but I don't think he'd prefer my clothes. I could just give him some money, then he could get whatever he needed, but would I seem less caring? I dunno.
I feel like I should just go home, go back to bed, and give up on today.
