no lyrics tonight. i dont really have anything in my head. well, i do. but it doesnt apply to my life at all. so.. anyway. the past two days have been alright. yesterday i had therapy. talked about the enigma.. duh. um, then i walked up to times square, got my schedule.. called chris, but he was napping, so i walked down to 14th st to wait for twon. he called me when i was at like 27th so i had him walk over to 8th. we connected between 18th and 19th.. it was funny bc i was placing bets on my head (as i do), and i bet myself that we would meet in between 18th and 19th, and we did.. and i also bet myself that i would see town from like half a block away, and he would be drinking a red bull. correct again! hehe. *sidenote* there is also another game i play with myself, where i race the other commuters through the tunnel that connects the G to the E at 23rd/Ely.. i walk briskly, and anyone who runs is disqualified for running. i usually win. except there is this one guy who is always on the 422 G train, i run into him and he usually beats me. he walks more briskly than i. *second sidenote* ive become quite good at being kinda psychic. tonight at work, i was trying to guess what people would order right before they ordered it. and the first table i played this game with (in my head of course), i looked at the beer list he was looking at, and my eyes went straight to "tecate" and i thought ok, thats it.. and like a second later he goes "ill have a tecate" and seriously, *no one* orders tecate. they order corona, they order dos equis, they order negro modelo.. sometimes you get a pacifico.. but no one orders tecate, just like no one orders carta blanca. however, i do suggest carta blanca when we're out of corona, and people generally like it better than corona. but yah.
anyway. back to twon. so i met him at we went to better burger, where i had a veggie burger and he had an ostrich burger. yes, he had a burger made of ostrich. way weird. he said it was delectable. after that we walked over to union square.. went to virgin. we were going to see a movie, but it was playing too late.. we went to the park, but then his bandmate called and said he had to bail, so that sucked. i was supposed to meet candace at like 530, and it was only 330. so i called her and she said to just go home and we'd go to babylon from jamaica. soooo i came home. napped briefly. i woke up when candace got home.. she came into my room and laid in my bed with me and we talked about the enigma (bc she hadnt heard the story yet).. then we got up and got ready for mike's show. we missed two trains on the stupid E, so the next one was 831.. we got some pizza that was icky. got on the train, and the conducter totally didnt ask us for tickets. WOOO. so im going to get a refund or something. or ill use them to go to sea cliff, cos its the same zone as babylon. whatever. on the train we kept making fun of mikes "band" bc they dont have real band stuff.. so candace decided that they arent a band, they are collaborators. maybe you had to be there. the show was weird, the music isnt anything i would listen to.. its electronic and there are no words. i have a thing for mike's bandmate, though. he is kinda tall and he has super intense eyes. after the show he came over and he told me that he looked over and saw me tapping my foot while they were playing and it made him get into it bc before that no one seemed interested.. well, to be fair, they were providing the music for an art showing, and so people werent really there for them, they were there for the artwork and the music was just background. so mike went to smoke a cig and candace was like "let me bum one" to leave me and chris (collaborator) together for a minute.. so we talked and he told me he saw me a few weeks ago, and i was carrying groceries and he was driving. he said he was going to stop and offer me a ride, and he almost got into an accident trying to stop, and then he didnt bc he thought i might think he was a weirdo. i was like awww hehe. so whatever, we chatted, and then he and mike packed up their gear. we went to this 7-11 on DPA (Deer Park Avenue, for those who dont know.. its like the strip on LI.. ppl take their hot little cars there, and their motorcycles, and they cruise DPA..) and there were like 900 motorcycles there, and kids with lawn chairs in front. we thought it was really funny. mikes like "gille, i cant believe you forgot yr lawn chair" ok, again.. maybe you had to be there. we drakn our slurpees in the parking lot of boston market, and then mike and candace and i headed back to brooklyn, and chris went to sea cliff or someplace. oh, so about this chris.. are things getting confusing with 2 chrises? hmm. well, anyway, collaborator chris. i met him like 2 months ago, he came here with mike to drop off some of their gear before they went to a show in the city. and later on, i mentioned to mike that i though chris had amazing eyes. and mike was like "yah i thought about hooking you two up, but i think you wouldnt get along." so i was like um, ok. but we got along really well yesterday. however, mike did predict that i would get bored with cousin chris, and that is what happened. he seems to know me and the others in his life relatively well. he seems agreeable to me, but who knows. i will probably see him again soon since mike and i are attached at the hip.
so in the car on the way home we heard some wonderful songs on the radio, the three of us sang along.. we got here, candace fought the urge to clean the house (she had like 3 cokes, and half a coke gets her crazy hyper) and went to bed. michael and i smoked, and then we went to kellogg's and had the usual. i ate only half of my broccoli cheddar omelet, and he ate the rest. i did eat all of my home fries, though, which he was disappointed about. it was kinda cute. we came back here, smoked again, played scattergories (i won of course) and listened to alkaline trio, and then we went to bed.
today was routine. we got up at 2, watched judge mathis.. i showered. we watched half of judge joe brown, and then i went to work. i worked in bar 4.. from 430 till 1230, and i made $170 woohooo.. thats a good deal of money for 8 hours, its like.. $21/hour, plus my regular $3.30/hr. woo. it was fairly painless, although the bar printer upstairs broke and they were making servers come downstairs for drinks and all that was stressful bc it was crowded and annoying. but my tables were pretty easy, i only had a couple of bad tips. there were star sightings outside.. i think that people are protesting fahrenhiet 9/11 at the theatre next door or something, but michael moore was there.. and so was matt dillons brother.. kevin dillon? i dont know, i can picture him in moves, but i cant remember what he is in. he was wearing an awful pin striped suit. it was white with brown stripes. and they actually werent pinstripes, they were like 1/2" wide or so. but yah. he stopped for photos and stuff. it was mainly older people who recognized him. there must have been an opening. i was outside smoking a cigarette when this all went down.
after work i met up with cousin chris and he gave me the $60 he owed me. then he came to westway with me, where we met up with lee. i switched back to my 2 eggs fried thing for the night. i actually wasnt very hungry though. then lee and i walked to the bridge, i took a cab.. and here i am. trying desperately not to think about the enigma, and wonder where he is (utah, or maybe driving to southern california.. its like 130am where he is..). see, even when im trying not to think of him i still do. grrr. ive been debating getting in touch with him.. i was thinking i could on like the 14th or something, two weeks from today, bc then he would be preparing to come home for the first time.. they are playing on LI 7/17 and they are playing cbgb 7/18.. soooo.. i was thinking i could do that, or i could just get ryan to go to the cb show with me (bc comeback kid are playing, and its something ryan would want to go to.. so itd be an excuse to randomly be there), and just seeing what happens when we see each other.. if anything.. ugh. i dont know. this will require more thought than id like to deal with.
anyway. its now 4:35 on my computer clock, which is approximately three minutes fast. so i think i shall bed. i wanted to do laundry tomorrow (ha!) but we shall see..
