No, it's gone.It's gone.Okay.[ocean waves crashing]177 days of quarantine.One rock for every day.One rock to mark each day that,ow, Jesus, these are sharp.Look at those birds.Do they even know what's happening?No, of course they don't,being able to get on a planeor not means nothing to them.They are a plane.I gotta learn to fly in quarantine,right after French and Swahili.Oh shit.

God damn it.Oh, come back here, get,ow, shit,ow, son of a,God dammit.Okay [chuckling]God, I miss people.I hardly remember who my friends are.There's Rachel, Sarah, Kendra.Rachel, did I, wait, didI already say Rachel?I feel like I should be exercising more,but, then again, there's noone around to see my body.If a tree falls in the forestand it looks really fit,do the other trees even care?I'm just realizing Rachelis a character on the TV show "Friends",not my real friend, let me start over.Joey, Chandler, Rachel.Ah, the sands of time,each grain a passing moment.Do we eat sand?Can't remember.I wonder what other people are doing.Making plans for thefuture or hoarding things?Maybe I'll start hoarding things.I could sell theseseashells by the seashore.Did someone do that before.I don't know if that was adream or an article I read.Oh, fuck it.Just start hoarding these shells.Oh, it's good to be out here.Get some fresh air.God, I wish Rachel was here to see this.
