proof that some people just plain suck:
about a year ago i was in a car addident. an ugly 4 car mess on the lovely freeway of hell-a (as someone so affectionately referred to it - you know who you are
). and of course, the woman who caused the accident had no insurance, no license, was driving someone else's car, and didn't even speak any english. so i immediately knew i was on my own financially. my insurance company took care of me pretty well, but i was still out about 2 grand for various expenses. but i figured the only important thing is that nobody was seriously injured. (my neck and back were extremely fucked up, but after some acupuncture i was good as new. yeah!). so i thought that was the end of the story. but no. then i was recently served with a summons. the 2 people in one of the other cars are suing everyone else involved, including passengers! it's obvious that they knew they weren't going to get any money from the woman who was actually at fault, so they decided to go after everyone else anticipating that the insurance companies will just settle to avoid the hassle. which they probably will. and they're suing for personal injury, lost wages, emotional distress - the whole fuckin' sham. and they were barely even hit. i was the one eating airbag in a totaled car. so now i have to deal with this bullshit and my insurance company will probably end up dropping me. and an insurance policy has limits per accident and they've already paid out quite a bit for my car. so if they settle for more than what is left on my policy then i would have to pay the difference.
it's fucked up. we live in such a litigious society, where people assume that if something bad happens then someone has to pay. even if it's not the person responsible.
ok. journal rant over now.

(Slurring your words) "Hey! I'm here at (insert (gay) bar here) and it's last call. It's going off. They are playing YMCA and there are more buttless chaps here than in the locker room of the National Rodeo Assn. Come on doooooooooooown"
That would be so appealing.
Alas, My plans are a bit earlier. A party in the Mt. Washington area (why the fuck would you live there if you work in Bev. Hills?) and then either the Big Foot Lodge (business thing) or The Scene for a record release party, night 2. I missed last nights party after paying to get in & quickly fleeing due to a rather unpleasant reaction to In-n-Out burger. Bummer!
While I would love to do anything with you under the cover of darkness, I shall have to keep the alloted times. And truly that makes me wilth a lil longing for later evening activities. Honestly.
Ok...so WTF are you doing that begins at 11pm?M Clearly you will tell me over a manhattan.
