Oh, my friends I write today a broken and desperate man: my dreams are shattered, my cities in ruins, life - which was once such a sweet symphony - is now nothing but a low, depressed drone. I do not know how it came to this, how I have been so reduced!
The thing is, I ate peaches today.
They were the worst batch of peaches I had in my life.
Every single one of them was grainy, near putrid mess of guck. They should not be called peaches. They certainly should not have been sold to me. They were dark red and sloppy. They were unsweet and left a horrible residue on my mouth, not a lot different from how your palate feels after you've just vomited.
Five peaches left. And this, this is what I get for dawdling and forcing myself to gorge on the last of the year's crop. I get the worst peaches in the universe.
I can't even explain to you how bad these peaches were. They didn't taste like peaches - the best of them didn't taste like anything, at all more than soft guck. But they were so bad, towards the end I was almost thankful. These peaches, the good ones, were so bad that I would write angry angry blog posts about them in the past. Now. Well, the worst of them... I think, literally, I might be sick.
I am actually really upset. If you were waiting for a time to go out and buy me chocolates or anything, now would be it.
I hope that I eat one more good peach before the end. Just one is all I'm asking.

so, despite the disspointing peaches, are you going to get back on that peach horse?
i think you should go to the independant ( i go there mainly because it is within stumbling distance of home) and they have a fantastic peach meartini. it's quality. just what you need to get you back in the peach saddle
