over, done with, gone.....

time - does not exist to me anymore..... - i don't know what day it is most of the time
which is good - since my work week for the past 15 years has included
weekends and holidays
it seems normal to have tuesday and wednesday's off


but i am burned out completely - like even thinking about throwing in the towel
but i have to last another 6 months... by them we should be in an official depression
and i wont have to worry about getting a job because there will not be any
.....


i know this is getting depressing - no pun intended

Tuesday, January 27, 2009

fuck.....

day one of the job - over - went well -
153 days left - until i can finally leave -
ive been sick since halloween - i am allergic to making love

at least this is what she says.... not sure either way.....


i am a butterfly - just following the wind - wondering
where it will take me next....

I met someone who knows you.......


i thought i did - and it made me sound
cavalier - so i told her - i met someone who knows you....
just to bridge the gaps...... - a new position for me
i feel like the president - during his last week in office
anything to get me through it - and out the door

maybe with the new job i will finally be busier.....
i am assuming its going to be easy - but i think the term
i am looking for is different -
after 14 + years of cooking - food is just that food
but in this case it really is for survival - not status
and/or entertainment

purely - and actually for caloric intake - which is what
it is for..... I guess my notion of food has changed - for the first time i will not be cooking for the rich and famous - and that feels good -

a question i had trouble answering......

Have I ever made you happy??


I couldn't give a completely honest answer........

so I lied.

and it worked.

power to the people.......

i want my first 100 days at my new job to be as successful as our new
president - and as scrutinized

( power to the people )

i want to wake up to crowds on my doorstep
waiting for me to tell them what we'll do
and knowing that at night he isn't sleeping either

( the first, second and third person are mixed up already )

there is no need to fix or adjust -
be prepared to witness - london england consider yourself warned
this is how we do it, all night long
everyday - all day

hot dogs....




i know you may have been sickened by the Luther Burger - or the Ham Dog - those were both studies in excess - but i really enjoy a hot dog -
and there are two on my list and I am lucky enough to live in a town where i can get both

they are the chicago style hot dog - at Luke's Italian Beef - on Alvernon way south of 22nd - and

the infamous sonoran style dog - there are many places in town to get a good sonoran style dog but My aunt took me to this place on the corner of 6th and Irvington called
La Esquina - sonoran style hot dogs - bacon wrapped hot dog with pinto beans, mexican crema pico de gallo and mustard...... i know - i know - but trust me its good

The curse of poverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of
civilization, when men ate each other because they had not yet learned to take food from the soil or to consume the abundant
animal life around them. The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty.

sick


i have been sick on and off since halloween
which makes sense it was mid way into the " stresses "
of a large company attempting to cut corners - and it was our job as managers -
to one not let on to our employees the extent of the shakedown -
and to keep employee morale high - how the fuck do you think that would
be even possible - it was hard - and a week after halloween - i was gone -
and i turnd into a nomadic hermit - and sick - and isolated - and whatever


so i am still sick - what ever it is i have i cant shake -
i even took a round of antibiotics - and nothing......

so i think that my quasi-relation ship that i refuse to believe that i am in
( but there is sex involved - so i don't know how to really classify it )
is not helping my health - lies do not feed the soul
chicken soup does.....

the countdown begins


i have 163 days left.......
and then I am free.
and i will move on.
to my shack of a house - on some beach somewhere
i will have sold all my belongings and
began phase two

thought of the day


if i was ever to be stranded in an airport for an extended period of time
it would have to be concourse e in the atlanta airport
it is a party atmosphere and includes 45 minutes of duty free shopping

happy second week of 2009




or third week.....

depending on which way you intend to travel

a " victim " of Madoff

"I climb into the old wagon in another clean white T-shirt and get back on I-95. I have only 400 miles to go. I wish I could chauffeur myself right over the horizon to China. I want to drive for the rest of eternity so I won’t have to reach a destination and think about what has happened to me and what I’m going to do." The Bag Lady Papers part III

i am currently reading her blog - in full understanding
but in no way sympathetic - as a victim of this economy myself -
we all have to bear down
and brace for the worst - and save for the future.....

mini vacation

i am currently in maryland for a mini vacation
and i am not even going to try and write any blogs at this time
i am not rally inspired and don't really have time
i will be back on the 15th of jan and possibly
on the 16th i will start blogging again....
i don't want to force myself to write for the sake of blogging
it will be shitty

Friday, January 2, 2009

saturday......

ok - i am starting to feel a bit more inspired
to write again - i am sort of sick
but i am getting re-introduced to all of these
people i went to elementary school with.....

another thing i said on new years eve is that i felt like i had been in prison for the past 10 years - due to my job
i was out and all of these people who's names were familiar
and knew me - and /or heard about me -- and i had no clue
who they were - and some of these people were family

so needless to say - i am still recovering from that
but what also makes it strange is that i am still
looking to leave the country this summer
and that again will be another period of time away from
my home....which actually feels like home now

so again my decision making process has been halted
or stagnated because i am amiss as to what is next.

happy new year

i am suprisingly busy - the past few days have been jam packed
finally today i can sit back and relax because i think my weekend will be busy
but this is good
only thing that i am upset about is that in tucson
it is 40 degrees warmer...
but the food is better here..
