the day after

Asain Customer: Hey Robert, it's Marshal.
Me: Hi Marshel. How are you doing today?
AC: Good. Good.
Did you enjoy the protest and the events yesterday?
Me: There was a protest yesterday??
[short pause]
AC: Yeah...it was a downtown. A big protest.
Me: Huh.
[longer pause]
AC: It went all day. It was big...
Me: I never heard anything about it.
[much longer confused pause]
AC: Uh is Antonio there?

    Just amusing myself.
    Really, how could I not know about it.

    Of course I have my opinions on the march and do believe that it succeeded in creating discussion on matter. Just amused (not offended) that my customer assumed that I attended because I am indeed Hispanic.

    All my mfg workers were there and I worked.
    Until I worked here, the only "illegals" I knew where my friends from England.

    Yeah a good portion of aliens I know are from Europe or Canada. Those Canadians are tricky devils... you don't even know you're among them... I mean ::ahem:: "THEM!"

    Is "aliens" offensive by the way?* You never hear people saying aliens much... but I just like that it makes me think coneheads, or other illegal aliens from ...France... fuck am I white eh?

    *if you think I'm asking you as in I'm asking because you're Hispanic I'll fuckin' kill you.

    also... on this:

    "Just amused (not offended) that my customer assumed that I attended because I am indeed Hispanic."

    I've talked to you before about this... but see I just have a hard time seeing that being about your Hispanic-osity.** You're just such a white boy, it's hard to think of people as seeing the ethnic in ya.

    **I'm sorry, it's just too fun to rape*** words like that.

    ***is that too offensive of a word to use too?

A couple weeks ago I was sitting on a hallway bench staring at the wall. Friends were on their way and the Honey Pot stopped by to chat for a few minutes wasting time until her equipment showed up. As she got up to wander around again, a boy and girl seated along the bar made introductions to her. Listening (not minding my own business) I remained seated on the bench studying a mosaic of a bullfighter in the midst of battle, sipping my Newcastle. I smiled to strangers passing through to use the bathrooms around the corner. I was bored out of my mind. I wondered if my thoughts were being read and felt that tingle of someone watching me. I rubbed the upper lip in preparation, then looked around my little area for the source of my paranoia and probably by chance the girl and I made direct eye contact. Brief awkward acknowledgments with matching half smiles faded slower than our gazes turned from each other. She reminded me of Whiskey Girl in looks and age which threw me off a bit when I

I had a flat this Friday, not that big of a deal normally, except I managed to snap the stem as I was removing a lug nut. Wonderful. More money that I don't have. I'm getting sick of tires, my numerous flats, gas prices, traffic. If I wasn't getting such a good price on rent I would move closer, but why pay what I'm currently paying for far less space in a worse neighborhood? Even with the gas savings I would nearly be at the same spot I am now. We'll see if Just Tires can fix my problem and/or hopefully replace it under the service plan I paid for. Good chance the obscene amount of miles I've put on my might have over shot the plan limitations, which will force me to pay out of pocket. Grr. I have 99,700 miles on my car as of last night. That means I'm doing @ 25-30,000 miles a year. Yikes! Oh I'm sick again, spending the weekend sleeping, not getting my tire fixed, and writing stuff for the other blog. Sometimes I wish no one knew about this one then

Paul Gross changed my life

So yesterday Will Campbell wrote about his experience having an old pair of sunglasses fixed in his post  The Epic Saga Of How It Took 10 Years To Get My Favorite Sunglasses Fixed In An Hour By The Greatest Eyeglass Repair Shop In The History Of History on Blogging.LA A simple repair sometimes can be more meaningful when the damaged item is a symbol of your past, your present and in my case, my future. I too had a pair of glasses fixed by the best eye glass repair shop in the metro LA metro region:  Paul Gross Eyeglass Repair in Glendale, CA  ( yelp reviews ) Below is the comment I left on his post summing up how my life changed with that eyeglass repair. Okay maybe Paul Gross the person didn't directly change my life with that one business transaction but I do believe it played a role in my future I'm so glad you wrote about Paul Gross Eyeglass Repair!!!  There was a point when I was so poor that when my only pair of glasses broke I didn't think I could affor
