The Budget Crisis

So I've been hearing about this budget crisis. What I don't understand is what the problem is. As long as the people you borrowed from don't ask for their money back, just keep borrowing until they won't let you anymore. And if the government is the one borowing money, and they print money, why can't the government just print enough money to pay off all their debts.

When I’m waiting for Godot to finally show up, I like to listen to this song. It remids me that I can’t make godot come any faster by complaining, I just have to wait for him, even as the world changes around me. I may not know what Godot can do. I don’t even know why we’re waiting for godot, but it’s all I can do.

·         Waiting: Green day

This song is fun to listen to. I listen to this song because they relate to my impatience, while I’m waiting for godot. It’s also really catchy and it helps pass the time.

·         The waiting: Tom petty and the heartbreakers

It’s an old song, but I love it. The song is all about how hard it is to wait, and wait. It’s nothing is harder than the waiting. When it comes to waiting for Godot I don’t even really want to be here with Didi. I always want to leave but I never do.

·         Still waiting: sum 41

I downloaded this at the end of the day after I found out that godot isn’t coming. Just like the song, I’m still waiting. I’m still waiting even though he’s not coming.

This song is a perfect metaphor for my relationship with Didi. Vladimir helps me with everything. I would be nothing without him and we both know it. If I have him then I’ll be ok.

·         Nancy Sinatra: Theses boots are made for walkin’

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbyAZQ45uww

This song reminds me of my boots. They’re made for walking. I always wear my boots when I walk. I walk a lot though so they don’t come off very often. They’re really hard to take off when I’m done walking for a while, which is difficult.

A boy

A boy came to tell us that Godot was not coming today. This is terrible news, we’ve been waiting all day, and he’s not even coming. I can’t even remember why we’re waiting; I think I’m just going to leave. I’ll do just fine without Vladimir. I don’t need him that badly. Well maybe I do. Anyway the boy is Godot’s goat keeper, and he seemed like a very shy boy, he didn’t even approach us until Pozzo and Lucky left. Vladimir asked if the boy had come yesterday, he said no. I think Didi might be a bit crazy with knowing these people that he’s never met. I really am tired of waiting around for godot, for some reason I’m getting a bit of déjà vu from this whole day. I guess I’ll just wait for godot in the morning.

Lucky and Pozzo

Today, a man named Pozzo, and his slave Lucky walked by on their way to the market, you see Pozzo was going to sell Lucky. Pozzo was blind, and he fell a lot. Lucky was a moron and couldn’t do anything right. For some reason Didi wanted Pozzo to make Lucky entertain us. He said it as if it was the easiest thing to ask in the world. Almost as if Lucky had entertained him before. Clearly lucky is too dumb to do anything though. Vladimir seemed to think that I would remember them coming by before, I had never met them in my life, if I had I’d think that I’d remember. I Think Vladimir might be losing it a bit.

The Boy

A boy came to tell us that Godot was not coming today. This is terrible news, we’ve been waiting all day, and he’s not even coming. I can’t even remember why we’re waiting; I think I’m just going to leave. I’ll do just fine without Vladimir. I don’t need him that badly. Well maybe I do. Anyway the boy is Godot’s goat keeper, and he seemed like a very shy boy, he didn’t even approach us until Pozzo and Lucky left. I really am tired of waiting around for godot, for some reason I’m getting a bit of déjà vu from this whole day. I guess I’ll just wait for godot in the morning.

The Good Book Review

So I read the Bible, because Vladimir told me to. Ok that’s a lie I only red the new part, called the new testament. Well just the part about the thieves on the cross next to Jesus. I couldn’t find that same part in the other author’s stories about Jesus. I wondered why most everybody sees this story as the most accurate one. I think it’s because people want to believe that contrary to how bad they’ve been in their lives they can always turn things around and steal a place in heaven, but the good way. Ok that’s what Vladimir said anyway, I couldn’t think of any reason that could be. Didi always did help me with these sorts of things.

Pozzo and Lucky

Today, a man named Pozzo, and his slave Lucky walked by on their way to the market, you see Pozzo was going to sell Lucky. Didi didn’t like the idea, he got really angry, but he changed his mind really quick, I don’t get him all the time, it’s like he understands stuff that I don’t. Why was he so upset? Pozzo had lucky entertain us with his, at least that’s what I asked him to do, Didi asked him to think. A little silly if you ask me. Who is entertained by someone thinking? Not me. Lucky was a very good dancer though.

Boots

Boots need to be easier to take off. I’ve just spent forever getting them off. Didi said I should take them off more often and that wouldn’t happen. I hardly see how that would help. I took them off for a whole day by accident once, took them off one morning and didn’t notice I took them off until the next morning. When Godot shows up everything will be better, even my boots. I hope. Why is Godot coming anyway?

Narrative Gap

I had to sleep in the ditch again today, and they beat me up again it always happens, then that bunch of guys came and beat me up. Can’t they leave me alone? I never do anything to them. They don’t own the ditch. Then Vladimir had the nerve to say that without him I’d be nothing. I admit I wouldn’t be very well off without him, but where was he when I was getting beat in the ditch, he helped me with a few things, but really I can take care of myself. I do appreciate it when he helps with my boots, those are tough to get off.

Introduction

Hello internet, my name is Estragon. I’ve been sitting here by this tree for what seems like forever waiting for Godot to show up, he said he’d be here today, but it’s been hours. So I decided to start this blog to pass the time. Vladimir is here too waiting for Godot with me, or I think I’m waiting for Godot with him, I can’t remember, Didi will remind me, he always does. I really hope this blog takes off, I could be famous or something. Then everyone would know about me, I could be famous. This blog was a good idea, should thank Didi for giving me the idea. I should go do something else so I have more experiences to write about.
