I run every morning in hopes of pounding my restlessness into the ground

I tried to learn spanish but I couldn't stick with it.

I've fucked so many people in the past year I've lost count. I'm not sure what day of the week it is and I don't know what time it is because my watch broke and I don't have the time to go out and buy a new one and the milky way galaxy is moving through space at 1.3 million miles per hour and

I have trouble sitting still.
