After having a good night at the Sundance, the only thing i had to look forward to was my court case for my speeding ticket in Boulder at 8 in the morning. I could either a) Get 4 hours of sleep or b) Stay up all night at Johnson's Corner. Even though 5 hours alone at Johnson's Corner in the dead of night isn't extremely fun, neither is getting up with your eyes burning through your fucking skull. So i went to JC. Armed with some books and some drawing paper, i made it through the night on 7 cups of coffee and some biscuits and gravy. I read half a book and just colored a lot using their crayons, but it ended up being a lot harder than i thought it might.
So after that, i got out of there and went to my court case. Here's how it went:
I show up and the girl working there is smokin' hot. I flirt with her some, and then she tells me that the city attorney can only reduce the point sentence, and the judge can only reduce the fine. Ridiculous. So i get into court and tell them i want to talk to the city attorney, so i do. She tells me that my record is pretty clean and she can help me out, so i get the points reduced. Then i get back to the judge and she lets me explain shit, but then she goes "with your record, you don't have a lot of room to fight this." So apparently, they had different files or something. But she didn't reduce my fine and i got slapped with a $25 court fee.
As i'm going to pay, i remembered that the judge said that if you fall inside the poverty zone, then you can have your court cost waved. So, i fill out my poverty forms to see if i can save the $25. Then i have to go back in front of the judge and she says "i didn't say that. If you apply for that, then i can just give you a payment extension." Bullshit, whatever. So they said i could have three weeks to pay, but i had the money with me, so i just paid there. I just wanted some money back. Oh well.
It's at this point that i look at the clock and realize my parking meter is probably expired. In fact it was, but luckily they didn't ticket me. I would've flipped a shit brick, ya know?

Makes Scents
As we were driving to Sniagrab today, we drove by Jerry's Artarama, where all the homeless people hang out. It's funny because more and more homeless people seem to be wearing Colorado Rockies jackets. Just something to think about.
Damn me and my huge ass.

Looks like we're all doomed.
Today was good. I guess. I was away from home for more than 12 hours, so it seems like i was busy, but i'm not sure if that was the case. Work took up most of the day of course, but afterwards i went to see blood brothers with my fam, and doom with my fam away from fam.
Blood brothers was ok. It's a musical that was showing at the carousel dinner theatre, and while i sorta liked it, i realized after a while that i think i was just more encaptured by one of the actresses breasts than the actual play, which was kinda boring in the end. Halfway through, right after i had my dessert, i felt that i needed a boost to my night. The guys said they were gonna go see doom, so i figured that might be good enough.
The movie was pretty entertaining in the end, which is sometimes all you can expect from a movie that stars the rock and is based off of a video game. Basically what this translates to is the fact that they sacrifice some minor plot points for hardcore fighting. No complaints, really. Also, the first person fighting sequence was pretty cool, and for the first time in my movie watching career made me want to put my hands together into a gun and shoot at the screen. Keep in mind that i never saw spy kids 3-d, though. And, once again, the girl in the movie was pretty damn hot.
Oh, lordy lordy.

Duhuh
I wish I could remember more of my childhood, but of course, it's pretty tough to remember all the stuff that happened when your brain is still a little squishy... almost gak-like. The reason is, when you grow up, you spend tons of money on booze and drugs, trying to alter your consciousness, but back then, you never were really sure what was going on anyways, so everything always seemed a little bit fucked up.
Tonight at work, little kids were hanging all over me, literally. One girl even took my pinkie in one hand and my thumb in the other, and tried pulling them apart like taffy. I hate that one. But one kid kept running at me, so i'd keep putting my hand out on his head to stop him. It worked really well, and one time he tried it, and i moved my hand. I thought the kid could see me move my hand, and he had plenty of time to stop, but he just kept running with his head down, and happened to crash his head straight into the fooseball table. I didn't even plan it. He gave me the "what the fuck?" look that kids give you, and looked like he was gonna cry, but then he just started laughing and ran at me again.
No hard feelings i guess.

Doin' Time
I love concerts. You just can't keep me away from them. It feels so good to get away from work and school for a night and just escape for a couple hours. Tonight I went with Sara and Amy to see the Appleseed Cast down in Denver, and i gotta say, it was a sweet show. For the dollar, it was probably one of the best shows i've seen, next to maybe better than ezra.
And, the people you see are so interesting. There was a girl with the most armpit hair i've ever seen on a female outside of the EU, and with her was this guy in a trenchcoat and a nose like a witch's, but they were just dancing around, having a good time, so i liked them.
I think the best part of the night was when Sara and Amy walk by a store and go "yay, a halloween store!" and they run inside. Meanwhile, i'm standing outside looking at the sign which says "gothic, BDSM, leather and"... well, it was a bondage store. I just laughed at the girls, then walked in for a spell to see some of the crazy kinky shit, but then we were out of there. But once those girls found out, the looks of surprise on their faces was priceless.
Weird part of denver, i'd say.

Doin' Miagi Proud
Yesterday -- I was at the Japanese restaurant Jeju with my ma and my sister when a bee flew into my teriyaki bowl. I didn't think a minute, i just reached in, and i freakin snatched it out with my chopsticks. It was so Karate Kid.
Also, at work i sprayed a 34 shoe line. That's a record for me.

Boy Howdy!
It's amazing how sometimes you can find excitment when you least expect it. Or humor at least. It started out tonight when i went to hang out with Amy at mugs. She was studying and i was reading a book, just trying to let her do her thang, and she looks out the window and she goes "he is really drunk!" I spin around and look out the window and i see this guy stumble up to his car, which was right by where we were sitting. He leaned up against the car and reached into his pocket. We assumed he was gonna find his keys, but he starts pulling out handfuls of peanuts and throwing them everywhere. And when we thought he couldn't possibly fit more peanuts in his pocket, he found more. I don't know it was crazy.
But then he turns around and starts trying to open the car door. It was locked so he starts yanking on the thing to the point where we thought it would break. He started looking around in his pockets again so Amy and i looked at each other and said "should we help him so he doesn't drive home?" "I guess" So I get up and walk outside and i say
"Hey bro, what's up?"
"Fuck you!"
"I'm just trying to help, it looked like you were having some trouble there."
He puts his head down..."Yeah... I love you"
Then he slaps me. Not real hard, but a drunk slap, with the limp wrist and all.
Oh yeah, just to give you an idea of just how drunk this guy was right about now, when i asked him what year he was in school, he said "british". Dead serious.
So i was just kinda laughing, but starting to wonder if this dude was worth the time.
Amy comes outside then with some water and she offers it to the dude. He takes a cup and drinks about half of it... he holds it for a while while (that was weird) we talk and then he just splashes me with all of it. Jackass. I wasn't gonna fight him or get mad cause there's no point in doing that with drunk people, when you're not in the same state of mind.
So i end up getting his phone from him and calling the first person on his recently called list, and it turns out she lives at ram's pointe, in building twelve, where kim and my friend katie live.
Coincidence? Yeah.
She says she'll come get him and i go back to talk to him and he falls over the car and hits his face on the ground and busts up his eyebrow. It's bleeding kinda good, but he keeps wiping it off on his shirt, so i can't tell just how much it's flowing. Anyways, i keep him talking and conscious until his girlie friends get there, and they take him off, and i think i'm done for the night.
No! About 5 minutes later, these three people walk along the sidewalk by us and stop at the car and start flipping out. Oh shit. I walk out and really look for the first time at what had happened, and there was scratch marks on the driver door panel and the front wheel panel was dented. It wasn't terrible, but it was a new jetta so the girl who owned it was pissed. I hadn't stopped to think that maybe it wasn't that dude's car, but either way, i told her where the guy's friends lived and they could give them his info, so they went and got it and came back to get my phone number in case they needed a witness or whatever.
After that, the people went back out the car and hugged for about 15 minutes. No joke.

Try China
The other night at work, i was cleaning lockers and this girl kept bugging me. I offered her a penny a locker to clean the rest of them, but she said 10 cents, so i said 3 cents, but she still wouldn't take it. So, i finished them myself, and counted all the ones that she would've done, and it turns out that at 3 cents a locker, she would've made $5.70 for maybe 10 or 15 minutes of work. That's pretty much 4 times what i make, and she passed it up because it was so little per locker. Damn kids nowadays aren't business minded.

It takes my pain away
I was writing my short story for creative writing today and i found something unsettling. My character gets hurt, and i was at a loss of words to describe what he felt, and when i asked MS Word, it couldn't even give me a synonym for PAIN. Weak, but i guess that's why language does such a shitty job of describing everything there is in life.

Mixed feelings
I don't understand why a day can't be all the way good or all the way bad. Well, actually they can be all the way bad, but every time i get a good feeling sometime in my day, it's just shot down by something else. Yesterday was a supreme example.
:) It started out well. It was my first day off in a long time, so i slept well and woke up happy. Also, the promise of a concert that evening had me riding high.
:( I wanted to pick up my paycheck so i'd have some extra cash for the night, and when i go into work, they tell me that i'll have to go to work at 8 in the morning.
:) I cash my check, and head for boulder with a fat wallet.
:( Traffic is a bitch. I'm hungry and running low on gas, so i get there pretty late.
:) We have a smoke break at mitch's and head to the park to play frisbee. It's a nice day, and the lesbians are blooming. Two of them were right over by me. They started giving each other massages and whispering into each others ears. By the end, they're laying on top of each other in the grass. We are completely oblivious to their actions.
:( Traffic's bad again heading to Denver. We don't have time to head to the hookah bar or the Jerusalem Market where i was gonna look for a hookah.
:) We get to the concert and it kicks ass. Kaiser Chiefs, Weezer, Foo Fighters. They were all pretty awesome. There was a lot of highlights, namely Rivers Cuomo playing "Island in the Sun" on a single stage in the back of the Pepsi Center (therefore closer to us), and Davey Grohl playing Everlong solo. It was so soft and touching. Truly moving. I even get a kickass poster for $15 because the line is so short... this poster should fill up a whole wall here... it's that big.
:( After I drop Mitch off back at his dopeshack, i start heading back home, and get pulled over on the hershey highway... no, foothills parkway. This stupid thing is a two lane (each way) divided highway and the speed limit is 45. I get clocked at 59 and i get slapped with a $100, 4 point ticket. No doubt my points are running low, but i'm more pissed about the 1/3 of my new paycheck that they just hoarked from me. Fuckers. I'll probably head down to fight it. Give it a try, do something different, and we'll see what happens.
:) Get Johnson's Corner on the way home, and have a good 5 hours of sleep. ZZZZzzzzzz
