For now

So i make my living waiting tables, which is as terrible a job as it is good. Maybe? Money's good, hours are mostly good, flexibility and what not is nice, and no desk. There are of course, as in any line of work, things that drive me absolutely crazy. This is the scenario that has been getting me the most lately. And scene.
Interior of annoying restaurant with peanuts on floor (another story another time).
Customers sit down at table and stupid looking waiter (me) enters.
Stupid looking waiter: Hello customers, I'm stupid looking waiter (here in known as S.L.W.), may i start you off with something to drink?
(there are two ways this scene continues, both with the same ending)
#1
Customer: Ummm..... hmmmm... lets see (some sort of annoying thinking noise, clicking or what not) What do i want???
(or we skip all this and go straight to #2 which is what always immediately follows #1)
#2/ cont. of #1
Customer: I'll take an ice water with a lemon , for now.
S.L.W.: Okay, a water.

Why the fuck do they have to say for now? They're not gonna order anything else to fucking drink...i know this, and they know this. Why play this coy little game where i hope my sales will go up $2 more so you can give me a slightly better shitty tip? Its not like I'm not going to get the water for them if i know that's all they want.
It doesn't seem like much but deal with this at least 10 times a day everyday you work and see if it starts to bother you.
that is all

Fear

So now that I got the nonsense out of my system there's been something going on that I feel would better me if I got out. So without further ado....
I'd like to thin that I've never been the type of person to be embarrassed by fear, being scared is a completely natural reaction to life. Lately I think I've been embarrassed about the fears I feel, and as a result I might be doing some stupid things. My fear is of a number. I think many people have been scared of numbers before, so its nothing new, but no one really likes to really let on about it. Now not all of these stupid things are really all that bad, some of them are harmless and funny, but the reason behind them is the same. That damn fear.
Its strange to think about numbers ganging up on you, that they can get together with other feelings and amplify to such an extent. But there they are, making loneliness seem much more real, failure magnified beyond previous ideals. And then here comes regret and of course he has something to say about it all. Never liked him much, so id don't really listen all that much. And of course there's the big one, the black shroud, we won't talk about that one.
But fuck that number, I can still play the game, I just have to be smarter about it. If you've got shit to do the next day you can't drink the whiskey. And lets kick the cigarettes for reals this time, you did it for awhile, don't let that stupid number scare you into smoking more.
I don't know, that's just life I suppose. Everyone's has to deal with it there own way. Maybe I'm just being to arty, and whiney. Little bitch? Eh?
On to bigger and better, let the numbers do there best. I'll still complain and fight them the whole way.
Stupid numbers

Boner!

Now that's a good sounding word, it just rolls off the tongue. I like saying it for no apparent reason, not in a sentence or conversation or anything, just saying it. Its kind of like fart noise, except fart is noise is usually a point of exclamation for me. And there's usually some kind of arm gesture accompanying said fart noise.

Voting Gave Me A Boner

So I did my duty and voted today, and I gotta tell you I still get a good feeling about voting. I don't understand how people can sit behind the concept of not voting because "my vote won't make a difference". What a bunch of douches.

So yeah, voting, wooooo America! I'm gonna go get coffee

Once a month(or less) and this is all i got.

I think of myself of having these great ideas that I can easily get out into writing, to amaze and astound the reader, to prove to all what a troubled genius I in fact am. I have such great ambitions for it all, the clip of it plays in my head when I think about it, its all so clear. But then I sit down and I either end up looking at sports stats, news stories and then girls on the friend network. UGH!

The best idea...Ever

So I want a MACBOOK. Badly. But I don't really want to pay for it, because I don't have much money and I'm kind of in debt. woops.
Cas says I should blog about how much I want one and then someone will buy me one. What Cas says, I do(dues?).
So, I really want a (an?) MACBOOK! Because I currently use my roommate's shitty computer, which is shitty, hence the name shitty computer. Shitty computer is located in equally shitty dining room(shitty because of its broken air hockey table and abuse I must take by my dog) which makes it difficult for me to get comfortable and able to write. Such great things as this blog and possibly the amazing stories I've had floating in my head that I've been threatening to write for years now. With said MACBOOK I will be able to write much more in the comforts of my own room, and in other great places such as
The Coffee Shop: this is a place where I enjoy drinking coffee and reading. I see people with laptops here all the time, writing or ordering J Crew, whatever coffee house laptop people do.
On an Airplane: I hate airplanes, they make me feel uneasy and weird and I'm always sitting next to someone weirdo. And now I can be the weirdo who is frantically typing away and snickering to himself.
In Chicago: I'm gonna be going there, a bunch probably, so I should have a laptop to take with me so when the city inspires me I can "get it all out" This will also include coffee houses in Chicago.
Maybe a Park: Parks are nice. You sit on the bench and relax. I bet I could do the laptop thing there.
So those are just a few of many various wonderful ideas I have concerning laptop use. Just think of all the happiness I could create world wide with my amazing yet humble writing abilities.I promise you this dear friend, my blogging rants will be much more frequent with ownership of said MACBOOK. So come on people, Holler at Your Boy, send the kid a MACBOOK.
Seriously, Apple Corporations, I must have said MACBOOK like 6 times in this thing, hook me up.
P.S. Thank You SUNS for an amazing season, The dynasty begins next season.

Back to back MVP (now if we only had at least Kurt Thomas healthy)

"Raja Bell? I don't even know that kid, maybe he didn't get hugged enough as a child." Thanks Kobe for that brilliant piece of quote, you truly are a class act. What a shame to, because as much as I despise the Lakers (being a suns fan you don't have much choice) I also respect them and the great teams they have had. Its a sort of hateful admiration if you will. And I'll be the first to say that Kobe Bryant is probably the best player in basketball right now, but what a little bitch he is. So it gave me great pleasure to win 3 games in a row and BEAT L.A.!!!! And to all those " Arizona sports fans" who started talking shit about how this is exactly the problem with the suns, blah blah blah, EAT IT! You pricks are probably the ones filling A.W.A. (I'm gonna still call it that for this season, and then work on the change next year) wearing your designer shirts and jeans to a fucking basketball game, wear some team colors dicks, and keeping the true fans, like me (yeah yeah sour grapes)from getting tickets to any games. The sports fans in this town are awful, they're not even fans, just scenesters looking to be seen. But seriously, I know we got our asses handed to us by the Clip last night, but how good are these Suns? And before you start talking about how we can't rebound or defend in the post, lets not forget that we are not only missing the best young big man in the league, but also Kurt Thomas who has been playing great ball for us this year. Two words for you folks BORIS DIAW! you better believe it. Watching him play all year has been amazing, thank you Atlanta, Nice decision Joe Johnson, have fun with all that "respect" at the bottom of the division. (I know, I know they're young and might be good. I'll believe it when I see it).
So basically, GO SUNS! Haters, as always, can eat it! To the lakers fan sitting in front of me at AWA during game 5, I told you so...to the guy in the Kobe Jersey who I waited on during game 6, I told you so. To Justins bar in Chicago where I watched game seven and cheered loudly at the TV and celebrated my triumph in style, I thank you greatly for the hospitality. Now...Lets take one out of 2 on the road, come home win game 5 and close it out in LA! Just think how good these guys would be right now with Kurt Thomas out there giving us some kind of presence, I'm not gonna even ask you to think about what it'd be like with AMARE. SUNS in 07

Yay and Boo

Its April, Baseball is here, which is a great thing. My beloved teal wearing D Backs are an interesting looking team this year. Not to sound to cliche but they definitely could make some noise if the right people start getting hot at the right time.
An amazing thing has happened this year, my step brother purchased season tickets, right field 7 rows up, great seats. Being the business man that he is he works late at times and travels often. So I have found myself as the stand by beneficiary of said tickets when he's not around. Wonderful. Went to the home opener and got my first foul ball Now our current record with me in attendance is 0-2 both games being close, with possible come from behind victories thwarted. So at least its been exciting. These wonderful seats have already blessed me with my first ever foul ball off of the bat of Todd Helton of the Rockies. There was no glamour to it, no leaping catch made by me, in fact no catch was made at all. It bounced of a couple of people next to me and then just rolled under my seat, but after 25 years (give or take, can't really remember when and where first game was) it was well worth it and filled me with a level of excitement and joy that made me long for the days when Casimir Nozkowski would sling rhymes while I wore silly shorts and hats. HA
So yeah, fuckin a right baseball is here. So yay!
Now boo to it already being 96 degrees outside. Horseshit, I hate this god damn desert sometimes.
Only 13 more shopping days till my birthday ladies and gents, you've been warned
