Well Friday was pretty eventful. I worked my ass off at the cafe(i made creme brule, and about 16 other things, good times). So i went home, and pondered if i should take a nap, or stay up so i don't oversleep and miss my 8pm gig. So i did the Devon thing to do and slept! hehe.... Woke at at quarter to 8. freaked out, threw on my tux, grabbed my horn, and flew to the gig~!! It was a christmas party for this corperation. about 2 thousand people. Mostly a bunch of black and Puerto rican people who can't dance.( go figure). Well i did the gig, and Mark phillips(the band leader) tells me he's going to be a father. now any other person in the world, i'd be happy for. but mark is kinda different. He's 40, teaches at school of the arts, had a weird kinda gay thing goin on with a head guy(secretly but we all knew) And on many occasions has had 18 year old guys give him handjobs for money. All the while, living with his parents while being filthy rich, and dating a woman who kinda looks like a really tall feminate man! So you see the weirdness when he tells me he's gonna be a father. Just 2 weeks ago he said they were getting married.(by the way, he finally moved outts his parents place and in with his new fiance). So that was the suprise!
I left the gig, and went to get my car from the parking garage across the street. I get to the elevator, and a white couple is in it. I walk over to get in, and they freak out and start pressing the hell out of the door close button. then they guy starts trying to hurry the door closed by pushing the door together. I found this hilarious, taking that i was in a tuxedo and had an instrument case with me. So as the door closed i looked dead at them and said"ooogah booogah." the lady screamed and the door closed. I guess i'm just an angry black guy who like to dress up in a tux, and kill white couples in elevators right after playing 4 hour gigs. Yup, that be me!!!!hehe. really people, c'mon! The refrshing thing is that, once i got into the elevator, another white couple in thier mid 40's get in with me. They say hello, the guy chats with me and makes a good joke, they get out, and wish me merry christmas and happy holidays! This proves NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST!!!Not everyone is racist. I hate it when people generalize racism. because the people who told me i wasn't BLACK ENOUGH were other black people.
That brings up a lot of thought. I hate it when people talk about "acting black." If they don't consider me acting black, then fuck em', i'm not acting black then. To me there is no black way to act, no white way to act, or anything else. So what, since i'm black, i have to speak with incorrect grammar, or use slang all the time, and talk about how much money i have and how many bitches i pull? Bling Bling!! Ya Happy now? Am i ignorant enough to be black yet? Because that's all that is. Plain ignorance. We battled through slaver and civil rights for what? To become ignorant illiterate thugs? I think not. So anyone who says i don't act black enough for them, you can kiss my black non-ignorant educated ass and hop back on ur train to bitches ho's and wellfare!!!
Anyway....I get in the car after the gig, and leave the parking garage. Fire trucks everywhere!! So i take an alternate route to my house(takes 5 min. from downtown to get to my house). I go down University......Two cars collide in the intersection. Both totalled. everyone ok though. So i get back in the car after i see people aren't dead, and take another alternate route......get to the corner....and ambulance on Alexander and east ave. TONS of cop cars. ....Take alternate route AGAIN. It took me 25 min. to get to my house!! I got home, got out of the car, and said fuck it!!
So i end up over Mikes place playin cards and such. Leave there around 5. Can't sleep, so i stay up, doze off at 7...wake up at 8:30! SHIT!!! i was supposed to be at work to cook at 8! Damn...so i got to work, and work all day. Last night i was out till about 4. Figured i could sleep in!! Get a call 8 am this morning.....Hmmm, turns out i had to open! So i got up AGAIN and went to work. and now i'm going to bed!!! yes, it's 2 pm. i don't care!!!
Moral of this weekend: Fuck snow, cars suck, ginger ale is good shit, and never trust sktchy people...cause thier sketchy....right....meh...bye!!!

wtf mate thats some fucked up shit. Maybe i'llg et you some throwing knives and then when that door starts to cloose.... KATCHING! and theres this knife stuck next to freaky white ladies head. I hate stuff like that, its just so ridiculous. speaking of things so ridiculous-
phillips? baby? I feel bad for the kid already. handjobs for cash? I never heard about that one, thats pretty messed too.
so about work schedules too: lately at our shop, a couple guys have taken to just changing the schedule at will in order to better suite their needs... and then not tell anyone. So for example monday I go to work. i see that i am working from 12-8 on tuesday. ok. I go home, go out, stay up late knowing that i dont have to be at work til noon. i get a call at 10:05 and its the boss asking where i am. I said im working at noon. he says im opening. and i better get in. so i do. im grumpy tired and not coherent the whole day it seems. and then i actually look at the schedule and my 12-8 has been crossed out and replaced by randys 10-6... so wtf. we can just make people work whenever and then have them catch the flak for it? awesome.
stupid work!
