Another Recap

OK so I know I haven't written anything in a long while but come one I have been busy.

Well Last Monday was a blast. Did some shopping but my friend and I mostly went to the Museum Of Natural History and the Planetarium. Then went to China Town on Canal Street. First we went to Pearl Paint store on Canal. Looked through all six floors of art supplies. Very cool stuff. Then we got some really good Chinese pastries. I have not had that stuff in a long time. Got a new sword. My friend called me as I was going back to my car and asks me if I want to practice with the boken. Well by the time I drove from 42nd Street up to exit 14 on the Palisades all the light was gone. Well we tried to use back yard lights but since I could not see the wrong block got me whacked in the middle finger.

Rest of the week uneventful until Thursday. Went to see the play Bombay Dreams. Very cool stuff. Loved walking around the city in my tan suit and going to the theater. The rain kinda sucked but hey can not complain any more than that. Bought the soundtrack for the play and I have been listening to it religiously.

Friday went into the store for a second to look at the schedule. But then went to Best Buy to buy a present. Drive down to Jersey to visit my friend. He is moving down to Florida. I do not like it. I hate the fact that I am going to loose another friend. I mean we will still talk but I don't think it will be the same. Well we had a great time. We went to see Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash in Red Bank. We got there too late and the store was closed. That was Friday night. Saturday we went to the beach. That was cool. We hung out in the water and then drew pictures in the sand. It was weird because he kept drawing pictures of the sun rising on the horizon. I wonder if that means something to him, or to me for that matter. The interesting thing was working on this art and then letting the ocean wash it away. Some how it was relieving because all your worries seemed to wash away. Sunday left my friends house with a whole bunch of his stuff that he was getting rid off. Two more computers and two more monitors that I do not know what to do with. If anyone out there needs a no guaranty included monitor please contact me. I have no idea what to do with this stuff. Packed my little car with so much stuff I did not think it would all fit. But I made it home.

Today I helped my dad work on the roof of our house. Hurt myself but had a great time. More on that later.

Peace out y'all...

Bad Egg!!!

Well anyway so I was going to make Deviled Eggs today. I figured I could sit by the lake on the grass just eating some food. For a while on Mondays I have gone and just laid under a tree and read and wrote the day away. I was going to do that today but not now. Why? Because I am going shopping. This girl from work talked me into going into the city and meeting her there so we could go window shopping. It'll be cool. Nothing like looking at five billion things that you never intend to buy. I want to go to the army-navy stores on canal street. So anyway since I am not going to make Deviled Eggs I will give you the recipe.


Ingredients:
6 hard-boiled eggs
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard
1 tablespoon of pickle juice
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
freshly ground black pepper
salt
paprika
--Halve the eggs; scoop yolks into a small bowl. Mash well; add mayonnaise and mustard until desired consistency is reached. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and pickle juice. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. Using a pastry bag, fill egg white halves. If desired sprinkle with a little paprika.


Remember that episode of "Gilmore Girls"

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.

Sorrow

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking

He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, it's not enough

His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
His knees have trembled & given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered

One world, one soul
Time pass, the river rolls

And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be

There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder that words,
Of promises broken
