Living With Crackheads.

After a dizzy Wednesday evening, I got back to the apartment, grubbed someone’s leftover burrito and passed out watching The Simpsons. Around 5am my dead sleep was interrupted by the chatter of three people in the kitchen. At first I thought Dan was involved in some fashion, but upon emerging from my cave, I was greeted by Rudy, Kyle and Dee who were having another, “let’s get fucked up and talk about nothing until noon” night. Thankfully, they retired to Kyle’s room for the duration of the early morning. When I managed to drag my ass out of bed, Builder was standing in the hallway trying to explain to me the severity of their crackhead tendencies. After my shower the three crazies spilled out of Kyle’s room and came to mine while I dressed for work. They were scary, but I’ve seen it before. Dee crawls into my bed. Kyle stands there talking about the war or something that someone who has been up for 28 hours shouldn’t be discussing. Rudy retires back to Kyle’s room to play some metal riffs. As I exited the apartment to a barrage of high fives, I walked by Rudy, called him a crackhead to which he replied, “Yeah, I know.”

FYI: They don’t really smoke crack, but maybe they should.

What Day Is Today?

Hump day came and went, but to be perfectly honest, I couldn’t tell. This week has felt like a 5am hook up with a girl who is almost as wasted as me. I couldn’t feel anything. I couldn’t even tell if it was happening. Working two jobs is fairly hectic, but it is so necessary. My broke ass can use all the extra cash it can get. So last night was the third 12 hour day in a row. Fortunately last night was the easiest of all three despite the fact that my door dealt with more people last night than either of the previous two. Working 2nd door is awesome because while you are standing there checking names off a list, you get to know the security guard who has been assigned to work with you. Monday = Eddie. Tuesday = Ray. Wednesday = Ernie. All three guys were top notch. Eddie and I talked about school. Ray and I talked football. Ernie told me about life as a cop. Getting to know people who are at different points in their lives is always an enlightening process. They give you a perspective that we often miss in our alternate hipster reality. It’s a grounding experience.

So the
Fab Faux was nearing the end of their first set when my services were no longer needed. I cruised down to the bar to say later to the crew before walking over to the Mercury Lounge in hopes of catching Washington Social Club. The Merc was bustling with young kids which made it difficult to maneuver to the show room. Daylen was hanging out in the back room talking about Chipotle shrimp which made my stomach rumble. Beach showed up after a bit and we hit the bar for a couple drinks.

My TV’s hit the stage a little after 10pm. I’ve seen the name everywhere. If you are like me, and keep your head to the ground while walking around lost in your headphones, you’ve seen their spray painted stencil everywhere. It’s an effective promotional tactic. Their lead singer reminded Beach and I of Diego from
Elefant without the obligatory Culkin’s that go with being Diego. My attention span was failing me, so I don’t want to subject you to some half assed recap of their sound, but I can tell you Beach lost a 6 month old bet.

Awhile back, maybe at a
British Sea Power show, Beach and I had a discussion regarding drummers and their tendency to keep their shirts buttoned nearly to the top. Beach then set forth the challenge; if I found a drummer whose shirt was buttoned lower than anyone else in the band, a free tequila shot would grace my belly. Well my friends, last night I won that bet. The drummer from My TV’s (who swings his sticks around like he is in a cock rock band) had two buttons undone while the guitar player only had one.

After another drink and my contest ending tequila shot, Stevo called me in hopes of dragging me away to a bar. Despite my eagerness to catch the nice kids in WSC’s set, I was lured away from the Mercury by the news that Stevo was with his younger brother Pete who was visiting for a single night. Upon hitting the street, Pete gave me his phone to try and guide some girls to Welcome to the Johnson’s. They were Pace freshmen without I.D. so I decided to cut the chord by hanging up on them. With that off our conscious, we started drinking heavily and shooting pool with a few kids in the back. It’s always great seeing Pete because he exudes the little bit of white boy hustle we all keep inside. The kid is crafty, and once he finds out exactly how to make it, he will. I got tired of entertaining some old drunk who was covered in blood, so I cruised how with a loose swagger.

I’d like to apologize for all the jibber jabber today. My head is a mess and it’s obviously reflected in my poorer than usual prose. I’m going to go drink coffee in hopes of lifting the haze.

Help me Dude, I think I'm lost..... I was searching for Elvis and somehow ended up in your blog, but you know I'm sure I saw him in a car lot yesterday, which is really strange because the last time I saw him was in the supermarket. No honest really, he was right there in front of me, next to the steaks singing "Love me Tender". He said to me (his lip was only slightly curled) "Boy, you need to get yourself a San Diego cosmetic surgery doctor ,to fit into those blue suede shoes of yours. But Elvis said in the Ghetto nobody can afford a San Diego plastic surgery doctor. Dude I'm All Shook Up said Elvis. I think I'll have me another cheeseburger. Then I'm gonna go round and see Michael Jackson and we're gonna watch a waaaay cool make-over show featuring some Tijuana dentists on the TV in the back of my Hummer. And then he just walked out of the supermarket singing. . . "You give me love and consolation,
You give me strength to carry on " Strange day or what? :-)

Well jjjay, quality blogging comes from people who put the energy into their blog like you have. It was a nice change to land on your blog, lots of others are junked up with useless comments and information. I put a lot of energy into my surfing rashguards site, so it does pretty well with surfing rashguards stuff. I think I'll re-create my blog because I like what you've done here and want mine to be more like yours. Thanks for the lesson in good bloggin. You get a special bookmark :)

have a fantastic day..
