rich. my friend. mi amigo. i must, say at this moment. that i—have forgotten your soda.
this is not a story of hardship. this is a story of loss; it is a story of remorse. you may ask yourself, was the weight of the responsibility of picking up wendy's in time for heroes a burden on my shoulders? or was the responsibility of picking up wendy's a weight for us all? i did not know if it would be a weight. i believe this was not a weight. everyone had their heads and hearts in the right place. i went through the drive-through purely. asking not about the 99-cent menu, but personally as matthew mcconaughey about the jalapeño cheddar double melt. some characters walk through first with their chin, some with their chest, some with their shoulder. i walk with the heart and mind aligned first through that door. although that door for me was at the second window. all right.
now, ricardo. you may think, in the deep recesses of your mind, your heart, your soul, did this man that is i become thirsty? did i become enslaved by thirst so that i consumed your frosty beverage? no, i feel that the dr. pepper consumed me. that there is a great freedom in allowing oneself to become consumed by commercial soft drinks. as well. by, the fast-food industry itself.
continue...or else.
