Three days of gray, bleak weather combined with reading Henry Rollins and sleeping very little is the perfect recipe for disenchantment.
Color me disenchanted with a lot of things as of late.
Disenchantment doesn't necessarily mean unhappy, mind you. I've also just come to a lot of realizations in the last week or so.

I'm not sure on the point of this entry, I think...

Last nights obligatory bar story:

The bar/club that I work at is grandfathered into Florida state law that since it was built pre-1960 (I believe) that it doesn't need to be retrofitted with an elevator to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act.

On the side of the owner, this can be a blessing. We're talking $50k easy to have one installed and serious structuaral modification...

So, I was diagnosed last year with significant social anxiety disorder which is otherwise known as 'social phobia'. The dictionary of mental illness defines this as a phobia that can make you feel trapped, shut away, unable to cope with the world.

That sounds pretty impressive, I guess, if you're not familiar with what that means. If you know what it means, well, it's about...

I haven't been sleeping very much as of late,
Probably no more than three to four hours a night for just over a week now. Granted, I've gone through a couple of monumental changes in the last month and I'm assuming that this plays directly into my lack of sleep, regardless: I haven't been able to sleep worth a damn.
So I've tried a few...

I have a big, ugly white 1986 F-150 pickup truck. I call it "The Beast". This is a loving nickname, mind you, and not a cursed pseudonym for my vehicle.

When I say big and ugly, that's only the tip of the iceberg. My general reasoning was that instead of trying to make an ugly thing attractive, why not make the object even uglier? Familiar...

Last nights obligatory bar story:

So, last night I'm slaving behind the bar, as normal ... No. Wait. I never really slave. Actually, it's never THAT hard. Lets try it again.

So, last night the bar was relatively busy ... No. That sounds like the club was overly-busy for a normal evening. Nope. Doesn't work.

So, I was drinking a beer behind the bar all...

I'm sick.
If I were to be a super hero right now, I'd go by the name of Captain Mucas.
I wasn't familiar with how much mucas the human body could produce, until, happy fucking day, I caught a delightful head cold last week. Now I feel like I'm walking around with a head the size of a pumpkin (which may or may not have...

So, I am now living in a house with with two guys that I pretty much never see. Rent is significantly (around $225) lower than I would have paid for my own apartment.
We're talking all the amenities; 2,500 sq feet of space, plasma screen TV with a kickin' surround-sound system (the sub-woofer's as big as a coffee table), huge porch with a barbeque grill,...

I think I'm going to become a monk or a nun or something that abstains from sex, drinking and all the mortal sins. Maybe I'll find a monastary up on a mountain somewhere and take a vow of silence. I'm also thinking I'd look pretty hot in a nuns habit but maybe that's just wishful thinking.

Christ, who the hell am I kidding -- not...

Three things I have learned while working in a club, as of late:

1) Regardless of how hard you will the opposite to happen, someone WILL vomit in the club at least once a week.
How do you fix said problem?
You find the employee with the least seniority (I'm much-to-much high on the food chain to do this anymore) hand him some rubber gloves,...

I've learned three significant things in the past 24 hours:

1) There are actually people out there geekier then me ... and I'm friends with one of those people. This is good.

2) Waking up alone after sharing a bed with someone for three years is a lonely experience, to say the least. This is bad.

3) They have new holiday spiced chai at the...

Trick-or-treating or moving everything I own and starting my entire life over?

I think I'll go with "Start my entire life over," for $100, Alex. Maybe I'll luck out and it'll be the Daily Double.

Forget it, I'm boycotting Halloween this year. It's too happy a holiday for me.
