- Great Sweating Mother of Jesus! Nothing has gone right today, even lunch
- was fucked up. I had plans to go to lunch with a prospective future
- hopeful bedmate and she never called or came by. So I sat on my butt,
- attractive male butt that it is according to this particular female,
- and waited to either hear something or see her. Nothing! A big fat
- fucking goose egg!
-
- So I go to lunch with some buds from work - one of whom passed his final
- interview for U.S. citizenship today and who only has to take the oath
- of citizenship for it to be so - and (pissed off as I am) I get a nice
- delicious blackened chicken sandwich. I also ordered iced tea, especially
- refreshing today after things warmed up, and the waiter ignores the fact
- that I need a refill. I was about ready to jack somebody up! And I almost
- forgot to mention that we got lost going to this eatery and would up being
- somewhat late.
-
- So anyway, the "new almost citizen's" girlfriend came by after a bit with
- a card for her beau and a giant cookie. This woman is just drop-dead
- beautiful and she sat down next to me in the only seat left open. We had
- a nice conversation and all. Okay, I'm relaxing now.
-
- Then the waiter asks if we want coffee and dessert, so I ordered some
- coffee which was delivered quickly. So I guzzled the coffee, then we
- paid and took the giant cookie outside to eat it in the warm sunshine.
- More relaxation. Fine, after about 25 minutes we leave to come back
- to work.
-
- SO there's a call waiting for me. Little Miss Can't Be Wrong has had an
- accident in her little trashmobile and she sounds all weepy on the
- answering machine. Good ghod! Now the fucking caffeine has really
- kicked in - I don't know WHAT the fuck kinda coffee has that kinda
- caffeine! It's like the overly-friendly waiter put some speed in it
- or something. So now I'm bouncing off the walls and climbing them, too.
- So I call the, ahem, babe back to find out if she's okay and if I can
- help (big mistake) and I get broken-down-to on the phone. This thing
- has been on the rocks for the two weeks that it's been going and as if
- I didn't already realize that there was no hope from the beginning, its
- looking real bad at this point. So, cold, caffeined-up bastard that I am,
- I thought long and hard (ooohhh!) about just canning the whole non-
- existent thing. And I'm going to do it tomorrow morning.
-
- So I get off the phone. Well, now somebody's waiting at my door to ask
- my help on some damn problem or another and I don't know how long they've
- been standing there listening to me on the phone! Nosy bastard! So I go
- off to see what the trouble is and end up working on the problem until I
- am about ready to pull my hair out at the roots. I won't go into the
- details. It would only dredge up unpleasant memories.
-
- But I STILL almost meant to mention that there were a couple of big crises
- waiting for me when I crawled in here this morning after a sudden urge to
- go have a few over at one of my favorite local bars, a place called
- Manuel's. So the day got off to a real precious start.
-
- Not really a rough day as days go, but for some reason it has really got
- me pissed off. I think it's that fucking speed-coffee. Caffeine makes
- me freak. Lots of caffeine makes me freak bad. And the last two weeks
- have been a real sick-fest and emotional roller-coaster since I met up
- with Miss Reckless and Stupid. GOD! I am gonna be glad to be done
- with it! If I get 10 phone calls during the day from her, it's been a
- slow day for me. What the hell's the attraction here? The fact that
- I have a way with kids and her five-year-old son and I hit it off? I
- mean here she is still a teenager and she popped out a kid already from
- some loser of a guy who porked her and then moved to Florida as I found
- out last Thursday after I finally managed to get her to fess up. So
- she's not a teenager chronologically now at 24, but she has the mind
- of -- well, there IS no mind! Maybe she thinks I'm some kind of fool.
- A real hot looking woman, but nothing else going for her. Shit. I
- don't know why I let myself get caught up in these flagellations.
-
- Vomiting, cross-dressing brother of Moses! There! It's off my chest
- now. It's gonna be good riddance and good bye tomorrow. I can do
- far better than that.
-
- And who was it that was talking about loser MEN and their girlfriends?
- Fuck. I appreciate that insight, actually. 'cuz I'm cutting loose
- before it gets really bad.
-
- I hope everyone else has had a better day than me. I'm gonna go get
- a beer and hang out with some buds.
-
- Love,
- Bill
