one frozen tv dinner later, i was sitting on a bus in east athens. going to meet my dealer, going about my business, just like we all were, then. that was before and unfortunately, this is one too many frozen tv dinners later. one too many bottles of whatever was left after i thought i had barely enjoyed it all. this is the step below, the struggle of the common man. this is what our parents didn't want us to see, this is who they really were. we are just inheriting it and will be passing it along soon. and we probably won't even care. last november, it was thanksgiving, and we were tired and hardly thankful. you said it feels like home, i said my food was still a little frozen in the middle.

one frozen tv dinner later (inspired by the wishlist in artifice magazine).
