Stupid Fast

Chapter 27: 4:38 A.M.




Why in the hell am I doing this tonight?

I can’t help it.

But I should be happy and asleep, letting my beat-up body heal.

I don’t like dark tales. I like funny stuff. Gus says funny stuff is always dark.

Is this funny?

Here’s that to-do list again:





Lift weights with Cody.

Get driver’s license.

Consider giving up comedy, as comedy isn’t even funny anymore.

Stop talking to Jerri and Andrew.



I definitely did number one. I considered number three a lot (I still am, except I do think comedy is funny). Coach Jones gave me the form to get started on two, but I needed to get Jerri’s signature to get the permit, which she wouldn’t give me, and then she’d have to have teach me to drive—which also wasn’t going to happen. It was at this point in July that I tried to implement number four.
