Check out this Marketplace commentary by Jamie Court, good stuff.

The Next Four Years — Consumers

-Alex

Well the girl that I thought stood me up and later told me she left her phone at work hasn’t contacted me. I talked to her on Thursday and she was supposed to call me later that night. I left messages for her on Friday and Saturday but never received a response. So I’m going to call it a wash, yesterday was my last call (unless she calls me back).

I was going to write more but I’m going to wait to see what happens first. I would want to burn any possible bridges.

The Falcons spanked the Bucs today, great game!

Happy Birthday Lori!

Just don’t let Brian light the cake. You remember what happened last time…..

Maker’s on the rock

This was written last night at the EARL. It is completely unedited with the exception of spelling (in other word very raw). So please excuse the grammar and narrative switching. On a side note I was outside smoking in the cold rain awhile ago and Thorin chose to stand in the rain with me even though he could have gone back inside. That is the mark of a true friend, be it human or other member of the animal kingdom.

Well I was stood up tonight for the first time. I’m not a player or anything but you would think it would have happened to me by now. For those of you who don’t know it sucks. Doing those last three lines didn’t help any either. So I was sitting in my room feeling sorry for myself and reading Buwkowski. I look at my dog scratching himself and think I should really give him a bath. Fuck it, I’m too depressed and irresponsible right now. I should go to the EARL and get a drink. Reading Buwkowski didn’t help any either. Then I started having second thoughts. What if she’s there? What if everybody knows? Well it’s better than being depressed in my National Disaster site of a room. So I get out of bed and put some jeans on. Thorin gives me that I know you’re leaving look but I need to go. I drive past the EARL slowly to try and see who’s inside. I think I see Rick one of the regulars. Shit, she told him we were supposed to be on a date tonight. I sit in the parking lot for twenty seconds trying to decide if I want to go in or not. I weigh the options, fuck it, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger right? Bullshit I’m going in anyway, what’s life without a little pain? Plus from what I’ve read so far of Buwkowski, I know nothing of pain. We’ll she’s not here and I’m drinking Maker’s on the rocks. Plus Melissa is here so things are looking up.

To be continued….

Update: Maker’s on the rock (yes one cube). I used to drink Jack and Maker’s with one cube , I guess I wanted to drink it neat but cut the edge just a little. Call me a pussy if you want. I’ve pretty much stopped drinking whisky because I tend to get violent on it. Plus I was arrested because of it once. Well more accurately I was arrested because I was drinking it, so it was not the whisky’s fault. More on that some other time. Ahh just took a swig, on the rocks definitely cuts the edge. I want to feel it tonight. Feel the burn, feel the pain, that’s what life’s all about anyway, long stretches of misery interspersed with moments of pleasure. That way you appreciate those moments all the more. Some people say it sucks and I agree sometimes but maybe that’s the best way to go through it.

I’m still fucking kickin’!

Rick is here maybe he won’t remember. I think I need to tell someone though. Can’t tell Melissa because I don’t want to jeopardize my chances. Fuck I’m getting drunk. I should stop writing now. I don’t feel like it anymore.

Update: Well I got ahold of her today. She left her phone at work so she was unable to call me last night. So the whole experience of last night was all for not. Well at least I got an interesting blog enrtry out of it.

\m/ Rock!

Drunken Haiku

On election night while I was at the EARL watching all the states go red on CNN. To combat my depression of the impending outcome, I decided to practice the ancient Japanese art of Drunken Haiku. This is what I came up with, I have more but they seemed to get progessively worse…

The EARL
PBR is king
cymball monkeys grace the screen
the reliable

Election
red & blue battle
smirking face on the tube
please don’t let it be

EARL 2
dancing pabst & smoke
Mr. T watches over
chain barriers hold

Lust
poor joke goes badly
chance gone from stupidity
lonely night again

Election 2
rain falls constantly
opinions flail wildly
outcome uncertain

Mood
violence infects me
tearing at the ethical soul
part of my being

Election 3
the stressful waiting
country’s future on the line
eternal waiting
