So I'm on the phone today at Western and 290. The usual window washer guys that I've been seeing for almost 10 years are there again.

Yeah..I always see these guys in Hyde Park asking for money at the same locations. One of my friends actually lives above one of these guys. He's got a small apartment for sure but he's not homeless and he doesn't seem to be suffering really. I call bullshit on that.

im a sucker for those fools. but sometimes i wouldnt mind punching them. depends on my mood. but yeah, i totally think some, maybe a lot of them, are fake
Why on gawd's grey earth would I say "yes" to an invitation to this hippiefest?! All kidding aside, there are some talented people in the lineup. Prollem is, I gotta get these things finished for the show.

Thankles for the sweet comment in my journal, I completely understand the whole "Animals over People" feeling, I have that too.

yes we actually do have a lot of beautiful buildings where I live 
But most often you don't notice things like that when you live somewhere. But there are a lot of them. But I guess you get used to things like that.

I sounded pathetic last night. I begged "friends" (yeah, those people), to go out with me. I got into party mode right after work, and all the cool people had something to do bright and early this morning. After the third "nah, I'm gettin' down on Saturday" phone conversation, I decided to call a friend with benefits. Horribly, horribly wrong. Not a good idea at...

Her little head clinking
Like uh barrel of red velvet balls
Full past noise

Turning them yellow like enamel coated tacks
Soft like butter hard not t' pour

Longest day EVER. Went to the liquor store for beer.
Hmmm, a sample of Tequila. Sip. May I have it with the mix? Sip. Ok, I'll take it.
Hmmm, a free sample of Carmenere wine...my fave Chilean grape. Sip. I'll take it.
Do you have Gumballhead beer by Three Floyds Brewing?
No.
Check out, go home, stare at Elora pictures, ponder if it's too early...

So my parents were prepared for this litter of pups coming. Tease's first litter...she was HUGE. She had the first one, a huge girl, she was stillborn. The next two were healthy girls, very cute and strong. Tease isn't the brightest American Staffordshire Terrier, but she's very sweet. Anyway, she slept on one of the girls last night. So they are down to one tough...

I'm going to The Note tonight. Hey cool...it's open til 5am. Last night I went to The Map Room.
That place sucks...I was drawn in by the large beer selection. I was surrounded by morons, and the music was wayyy too fucking loud. My brother and I did, however, enjoy a glass of my new favorite beer there. It's called Gumballhead It's delicious, but...

Thanks. You rule as well. In fact...together we completely rule.
I avoided the sharpie problems as well.
I liked the name tags. But now we can add permanent markers to the long list of things that don't mix well with alcohol.
