5. Come Monday

Well this is a weekend in review:

Friday:
Friday my friends and I went to see Chronicles of Riddick. Holly crap!!! This movie was tolerable up until the moment where Vin Diesel opens his mouth. Corky from "Life Goes On" was more articulate than this guy. The apex of his vocabulary was the word, "incredible." That's right, the usage of four syllables were the pinnacle of this Neanderthals linguistic skills. "Incredible." He said it like he read it off the back of a cereal box. This dude was so bad he reminded me of some of the loss prevention officers that I have in my store. And the are people who are attracted to that. How can you like that stuff? Cromagnon Man has a better grasp of the American lexicon. What do you want? Just to get smashed over the head with a club and dragged into the cave. [grunts in frustration.]

After the movie I went to the bar and hang out there for a while. Then qubeley, monkey_god and I went to the Hudson river shore and skipped stones for an hour. It was great. Eleven a clock and I am teaching qubeley how to skip stones while holding a Grilled Stuffed Burrito from Taco Bell. I like those times the best. Just the three off us. My favorite is hanging at the train tracks.

Saturday:
Went to Khan's Restaurant for monkey's birthday. While I was waiting for them to arrive I went across the street to buy some candy. I was so oblivious as to what I was doing because of where I was that I almost got hit by a car. I was just looking down and this car came flying by just 12 inches in front of my face. Then the only other strange thing that happened was while I was balancing on this divider I saw this Morning Glory plant that was growing by the side of the road. The flowers were beautiful because they were all open. They were almost staring back at me as I looked at them. Then I noticed something else. The Morning Glory was growing right next to a Poison Ivy Plant. They were actually wrapped around one another. They seemed like they needed one another. The Morning Glory to provide the beauty and the ivy to provide the protection. This symbiotic love seamed to make them greater then the sum of their parts. Totally different but together they become stronger.

The food was great. The company was awesome. Some how it didn't feel as weird as I thought it would. God-damn memories. BD decided that he was not going on beyond the night. We hung out there for a while and then went to K-mart and then Denny's. The three of us just sat around talking. G-rod and I were talking about the cute girls on TechTV. I mentioned Megan Morrone. She was on the channel before he started watching it. She is not really a looker but she has this sort of nerdy cuteness that I think makes her attractive. I used to work with someone like that. Who else would look cute with a "Blue Screen of Death" T-Shirt on.




The whole way back I was so tired I just slept the whole drive down ... and I wasn't driving this time.

Sunday:
Well went to work and it sucked. Ran the third floor by myself for three hours. The greatness that is managerial planning was seriously lacking. Oh well I at five I told the manager that I was leaving at six. She told me she didn't want to let me go at six. I told her I did not ask for permission. I was telling her I was leaving and that's that.

Finally the only other thing that happened this weekend was the Puerto Rican Day Parade. Man does this stuff piss me off. Now my friends know my as a racially understanding guy. You would never hear me say something bad another persons culture or mannerism. ;-) You know that I would. I love making fun of my own people. Why? Because there dumb-asses do it to themselves. How many people have devoted themselves to unifying America into one sovereignty. They have tried to break down barriers of racial division that were truly evil. The Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Linda Brown from Brown vs the Board of Education. Not to mention Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., Mohandas Gandhi. Do they not see that segregating themselves, even voluntarily, creates a rift in society that counters everything others before them have done. What others have been killed to bring for them. God-damn BET channel. It would not surprise me if a few people got back on a boat and started America v2.0 some where else because now they can weed out all the bugs from the system. Do you thing as minorities we would come together and try to assimilate as best we can into society... No. What do these people want to do? They want to have a parade celebrating their culture. So in honor of their culture I provide this...


Here comes Monday.
