ok so getting away from the sadness, because it's true, the book is becoming sad, the thing i want to talk about is Bull.
i LOVE Bull. I think he's amazing. I mean sure, he shoots up everyday, more than once at that, but he emobodies transcendetalism. He's done EVERYTHING! traveled all over the world, listened, learned, and now passing on all this knowledge to anyone willing to hear him talk. It would be amazing to meet someone like that in real life, someone with real life experience.

I really hope he comes back into the book later on, he seems like a really important character. Did anyone feel like Sal made a very bad decision by going with Dean and not staying with Bull like he offered? On the other hand, now Sal will be able to experience his own things, and not have to hear them from Bull. Plus, at the rate Bull is shooting up, it won't be long before he dies, and then what will Sal do? So yes, i did just come full circle, but it's better that Sal went along with super crazy Dean instead of stay behind.
