a blake enjoying the simple life

I have been painting the last couple of days. It has been good actually, because i put my headphones on and then paint up and then paint down. Then i move on and paint some more and repeat the process until there is nothing left to paint. I have been painting this big room a dark reddish colour, and i think it will look really fantastic when it is all finished.

Today at breakfast i met a girl named Joanne. She lives near my hotel room, and her father works here as a financial advisor for some big business man who runs a few businesses around here. Joanne said she would take me to a really cool shop near the hotel where they sell ice cream that is so good even the vanilla kicks out the jams. Joanne told me she spends lots of time looking out her bedroom window and writing what she sees and what she thinks. I told her about my journal, and she said she would have a look at it when she got the chance.

Hello Joanne, this is Blake! How are you?

The person who owns the hotel is called John, and he said that come sunday i will have to deliver a few important packages for him to various people around town. He said to me 'Blake in this little world of ours we play a giant game of give and take. An "I do favours for Bob who does favours for Mario who does favours for me" kind of thing, but on a much much bigger scale. Everything is in a kind of harmony but that harmony can be easily broken. I like you blake, so i will entrust you with the job of continuing this harmony'

I like John. Last night we sat near the top floor of the hotel drinking beers and talking about nothing in particular and watching the rain outside. He has a daughter who is studying in a university a few towns over, and he does not get to see her very often anymore but they still write letters monthly. He said 'Blake you would like Lynne, you would like her i think. A beautiful little creature so beautiful it is hard to believe i am her father. But blake my friend, i'll tell you this once and i won't tell you again. You touch her blake, you make her sad in any way, and i hear about it, i will hurt you blake. I will hurt you like you have never been hurt ever.'

I said 'Ok John', because it seemed fair enough i guess. Then John told me that in the basement of the hotel there is all this old junk that people have left over the years that he has not been able to let go of and he even said i could have a look around there one time. Oh man that is going to be so COOL!!! I really hope there are some old books and magazines because i have almost finished mirror mirror now. It is very interesting because it is very different to the original story but not in a bad way because changes are refreshing!

Tomorrow i think i will look for a nice cafe and buy a muffin and a coffee. How long has it been since i last had a muffin?

I think it has been too long if i cannot remember where i was and what sort of muffin i ate.

Boy i hope they have good ones, because that would be awesome!

Blake out.
