I went into Hot Topic's tonight with my son. He saw a Ghost Buster's Sweatshirt that he really liked. I asked if they would keep it at the counter until I was done looking around the store. I found a really cool t-shirt with Disturbed on the front. Went to the counter to pay for it and the sweatshirt. The kid behind the counter asked...

i know....i won't be losing my job, i just worry about all of the other people....

I needed a laugh so fucking bad - THANK YOU!!!! How could you think those Hot Topic brats are anything but posers - oh, i think they spell it poseur now. Remember when you had to go to the show or Zipperhead to get a band t-shirt? Wait, I know nothing of Marlton NJ. Maybe you had a secret underground way. My secret code name for Hot Topic is Punk-in-a-Box. Time was we went to the hardware store to get our gaskets and bead chain and shit. More variety too! Ha! Ok, rant over. I'm sure not all the people who work at Hot Topic are like that - but I did enjoy the laugh. Fuckin' ass - I have Cyndi Lauper in my head! WTF!?! Don't tell anyone, please. I haven't even been in a grocery store in months - this is all my brain's doing. I'm seriously losing it. surreal

hee hee thanks! blush

Sounds very familiar. I'm so tired most days that caffeine doesn't even help perk me up. Maybe its the weather. Maybe its more.

The insurance thing is too familiar, as well. My ex called a couple weeks ago and told me that she is taking a leave of absence from work. Apparently she (and the kids) aren't even eligible for COBRA under the type of leave she is taking. Better yet, we have a state program in Michigan for uninsured kids. But, since she has given up their coverage voluntarily, we aren't eligible. I don't understand the thinking, but it is consistent with her behavior to date.

Keep you chin up. It makes it easier to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I am sitting here waiting for someone to pickup the couch they bought off me on ebay. $222.50 was the winning bid. That's a steal for this leather couch. I have been thinking who bids 222.50? 220 or 225 I can relate too but 222.50 just makes me wonder.

I started Friday Nights out with my son. It's just the two of us. He told...

I'm glad you cleared that up at the end - I really did think you were kind of down.... The last bid I placed on ebay was for $123.32. confused So you see, there's more than one of us strange bidders out there!!! Oops, that's my secret number - keep it safe for me, will you? surreal

Sounds like work is a bitch right now - on the upside, that should make those three weeks go by in a flash! You'll be inked in no time! biggrin

If I post it, then I wrote it - unless otherwise referenced. I have a thing for making certain I give credit where it is due whenever I post someone else's work, as with my previous entry. It was both lyrics and a photograph by my friend Sam. He rocks. Literally.

I'm not very good at taking compliments, but thank you for appreciating what I wrote. As for the meaning... I'm still working on it! Poetry is shorthand for my psyche. I enjoy comments quite a bit because so often the things that others see in my words help me to understand them for myself - or at least for them.

Start training for my manager's job tomorrow night. Should be interesting. I am excited and nervous about it. And I have to stop having sexual thoughts about my GM. She makes me tongue tried everytime we are alone together. I can't think of anything to say. Will I can think of things to say but I don't think I would have my job very long...

well in that case I'd say a trip to starbucks to -- err -- feel her out might be a good investment smile

I have been sick all week. My tattoo artist called and canceled our session because she was sick. I was just about to call her and cancel because I didn't feel up to driving 7 hours to get tattooed.

well it's something you haveta do sometimes - the first night my son spent at my house HE slept on the couch - but then he wanted to cuz he was hoping the cats would be reassured by his presence there.

I have no idea if it helped the cats or not but it seemed to make him happier so I went with it..

Of course, now he's got his own bed at my place (with better sheets than I've got to boot!) but we still leave the door open so the cats can come in and sleep with him if they want wink.

Perhaps part of Jackie's painting will end up on my skin! Her b/f is a tattoo artist....

I used to have a not so serious problem with cutting that became a very serious one later on... My parents used to yell when they saw the cuts on my arms - would that they had been like you! Anyway, if you wanted to talk about it...

I think I'm coming down with the flu. I feel blah, no energy. Have to work doubles the next two days. So, I won't get rest until Saturday.

Christmas was really good. My daughter gave me a card that read: "Your more then my Dad, Your also one of my Best Friends" It brought tears to my eyes. She loved the little white dress and...

It was nice not having to work my day job today. I did laundry and made Raspberry Cookies this morning. I took the cookies to my manager at my other job around 1pm. The traffic was a nightmare. It usually takes me 5 minutes to go to work at night. It took over 30 minutes today. The line to get into the parking lot actually...
