And every word is absolutely true and not embellished or polished. I really did know that fella. He's a homosexual from the south, and he was a friend of mine, but his social stance was more important than keeping it real with me so I elected to oust him from my online awareness. Kind of petty, I know. I still think about his lust for life and smile. He had it.

Thank you, brother. I will! And I'll be all eyes and ears for your offerings, as well!
It's OK to hate a movie and then realize you are fond of it in retrospect. It happened to me with Waiting for Guffman in the theaters, back in 1997. It's OK. No one is going to judge you, and you'll still retain all of your edge, even more so on reassessing a film you thought was crap but soon after realized was solid.
Ok. Tonight was Velvet Buzzsaw followed by playing bits of Blue Foundation chased with QotSA Vampyre of Time and Memory on drums. Now gin. And oh wow its 9 already. neat! Signing off for the moment before my ice melts.

An art curator with that accent. I actually know a dude who works the circuit in manhattan with that pursed tongue. He's nice when he's not damning the world about social politics. Hey, I can't call it. He used to work a chicken restaurant and video tape his little sister dancing to Madonna on vhs. He's my hero but I hate him because he's catty.
Bolded because that's just a great sentence lol. Should be the first line of a novel. Actually, that's the first chapter, its so powerful lol. Thanks for that.
Right now I'm squeezing a lime into gin, talking to myself saying, "Yeah. That's it. That's the stuff right there." like Magda from Something About Mary. Still, I secretly hope people here imagine me sounding like Zach gallopingnapkins' character in The Campaign. You should look. It's worth a Google.

I was a fan of Waiting. It's what allowed me to give Ryan Reynolds a chance. He was good. Up until that film, Van Wilder had me hating on him for aping Chevy Chase too much.
Restaurant/kitchen humor/antics are the best!

Kinda like Waiting... without all the compromised food stuffs.
I do miss flipping burgers. While parts of that job felt like chores, it was a fun job and it was clear what the responsibilities were. Aside from a few drive-ins that would come in 5 minutes before closing to order things we'd already stopped cooking 20 minutes earlier, there were never really any unknown stress triggers.

Well, one time a ceiling tile fell down during cleanup, after we had closed for the night. The manager thought someone was up there waiting for us to leave to rob the place so she called 911. When they arrived, we opened the door to a huge cop with a shotgun in hand. Greeting a gun was stressful, but fun. We never had a situation where a client called in an hour to close demanding we bake 20 pizzas. We didn't make pizzas. But I'm constantly asked to do things I've never even heard of before now. That can be fun. I guess. But in the moment and during, not so much.
