In the outside world, I am tiny.

Yeah, Moe came by just now. It was cool. I just kept imagining him and me on an adventure. I've been thinking about it all day. I drew this comic about it, but I didn't show Moe because he said he didn't want to see it. He's really busy usually. The pizza was nice.

those resturants arent all bad
in some of them you can pretend its your friends birthday
and depending where you are
you can get free cake, or a hat, or a whipcream pie in their face

I used to meditate.

Me and Moe have been racing around the country, across state lines looking for Carolyn. We've been shot at by trucks and yeah, we've killed a cop.

I could do it every day sometimes. I was really good.

I am teaching David to meditate. I used to meditate back in the day. I was a lot more spiritual then. I used to meditate and I would always think about stuff like, "Why am I arguing with this person? Why are they arguing with me? What's really going on here?" I was pretty good at it too.

The first thing that I told him is that you got to know people. The more you know about people the less you're going to mess up and do the stuff that they do. It's about reflection.

He said that he didn't want to meditate, but I told him, "But you're meditating right now?" Everything is meditation if you're doing it right. A lot of people don't realise this. I told him.

That's why those guys were being dicks to you. The grocery kid and the landlord. It's because you're all over the place. If this was in a different environment, like they were your enemy, they'd rip you to shreds. They'd cut through anything you tried to throw at them.

You know what your main defense is at your age? That's it. Your age.

It's evolution that when you're young you look to adults so that they wouldn't kill you or eat you or just let you die. You've got to cash in on that. I wish I knew what at your age what I knew now. I wish I could be your age with my understanding and stuff. I'd dominate. I'd get all the girls with my maturity and self-assurance.

"I get girls." David answered.

"Yeah..." I conceded. "But not really. I mean like really get girls. Like not even care about them but still be cool about them being there and liking you. Not just getting pushed around."

"I don't want that." He said. "I want to fall in love."

I looked at him and smiled. He didn't get it. When I was his age I was probably meditating all the time. I was seeing things that the other kids couldn't see. I could understand when the adults were joking. In the kitchen the other day David wouldn't have known what to think. I made some joke about how people are at that age and it had layers. It was about all these levels of stuff.

If David had heard it he would have been freaked out. He wouldn't get it. It's just so hard at that age. And it doesn't get any easier. I hope he makes it. I have to help the kid out. I have to.

I haven't lived like you.

Hey, guys. It's just that I'm a shark.

That's it.

You may not have picked this up from my blog, but it's still happening. I am still a shark from outer space. I've met a few people online here at MySpace. My favourite ones are the young ones. They're a lot less depressing. I apologise to all of you who are older than 20/21 but that's just the way it is. Depressing.

I figured that if Moe and I hit an adventure we could probably get to America in two months.

I think that's my goal too. I'm going to go visit Carolyn. Her husband has been to the moon and her boss is in love with her.

The landlord said that he would come with on an adventure, but that was like a month ago and lately he's been off partying with the grocery kid. He still phones every morning and I always pretend to him that I wish he wouldn't phone. I tell him that I don't need him to look after me. I've can look after myself, but he still phones. It's all about human interaction with that guy. He doesn't always get that I'm a shark.

He offers to come cook for me and usually I say yes unless I'm ordering pizza. It's usually just awkward when he comes for pizza. It's hard to deal with two conflicting relationships at once. That's why I don't like people staying at my house. I like to always know what is going on. I like things slick. I like things to be clean. Metaphorically.

This is what it is like when it is happening. You can not have me.

"Hello?"

"Shark. Are you okay?"

"I'm okay."

"Good. What are you doing?"

"Nothing."

"Okay. Do you need me to come over?"

"Hmmmm...."

"Shark?"

"I'm not really doing anything really."

"Oh. Look, if you don't need me to come over then I need to go to town. Do you want me to bring you anything?"

"Hmmmm.... No. I don't really want anything.."

"Are you alright? I could stay with you today if you want me to."

"What would you get me?"

"Ummm... I could get you snacks? You like snacks.They're easy."

"Hmmm... Yeah, I don't know. Do you need to go to town?"

"Ummm.... I guess not."

"If I come round will you promise not to play TV games the whole time that I'm there."

"No..... Don't come. I'll just... I don't know."

"Okay. Look, I need to go to town today. It's important."

"Hmmm...."

"Shark?"

"..."

"Shark? Are you there?"
