ateolfhave to leave for work soon so i dunno if i'll finish everything i plan on saying...not that it's really that important, but yea...i finally accomplished one of my life goals yesterday...i won a Silvertone model 1448 guitar w/ amp in case on ebay...these Silvertones are THE guitars...i'm quite quite pleased...
then i went to work...i worked for like 5 hrs the first shift...i only made like $46 but that's too bad...then i went over to David's...they (also: Paul, Aaron, and Monika) were starting to watch some movie that i forget the name of...it's about 5 different taxi rides in 5 different cities...Tom Waits did the song in the beginning...that's always good...i guess right in the middle of it all i got a call from work...it was only 10 but they had gotten "slammed" so they needed me to come in early...i'll give a few highlights of this shift...i made this one delivery to a cute indie chick...she didn't come down when i rang the doorbell so i called and she was like "i'm sorry i fell asleep while waiting" she gave me a $4+ tip for her $10something order...did i mention she was a cute indie chick? since i'm a pathetic geek that kind've made my night...downtown was fucking HELL...FUCKING HELL!!! once again i reassert my opinion that downtown Memphis should be gassed on saturday nights...and now i'll add that Beale St. would look far more attractive it was suddenly transformed into a giant crater...ALL THOSE FUCKERS SHOULD DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!! ahhh...i feel better now...this one run i had to go to Auto Zone (the office building), i avoided Union 'cuz i could see it was hell up ahead, but even the roundabout route i took was fucking INSANE...cars just sitting at a standstill in the middle of intersections (Linden & Second, Front & Peabody Pl.) it was fucking hellish...and then i had to go to 201 Poplar (main police station/jail/court...my delivery was to intake...) and no tip from the fucking cunt officer bitch...another downtown run...this one was even worse...first i had to go to the Holliday Inn Select on Union...RIGHT IN THE FUCKING MIDDLE OF ALL THE SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!!! i was sitting stuck in the back-to-back-barely-moving traffic jam shit for at least 15 min...it took me well over 30 min to fucking get to the hotel...finally right as i'm about to get to Second St. intersection (the hotel's right after it) a cop comes and blocks traffic going across and is making everyone going that way turn down Second...i pulled up to him and told him i was making a delivery to the Holiday Inn "i don't care where you're going you'll have to go around" "can i park right here?" "if you want to get a ticket" i parked right there and put on my flashers and told him i was just going right there to the hotel "oh you're a delivery driver? well you can go through" so he blocked the traffic to let me back up and i went...stupid bastard could at least have LISTENED while i was trying to talk to him...then i went to 99 N Main St., these apartments that kind've suck 'cuz only one of the 3 elevators ever works and it's like 25 stories...but it wasn't too long of a wait this time...all in all that run to two places sucked 50 min of my night...but STILL i managed to make $64 for those 4 hrs...that was fucking sweet...a total of like $112 or so for the day...afterwards i went over to Jacques'...we watched MTV 2 for far too many hours...oh shit, i forgot to mention that when i went to David's earlier, he had our Liquid Liquid cds that he had ordered...ROCK! and i must say the cd is fucking great! ah...but anyway, MTV 2 was having the most controversial videos ever countdown or whatever...mostly pretty stupid, BUT there was Warrant's "Cherry Pie" which was immensely comical...the #1 video was The Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" of course...we also got to see Björk's thingies in this one video...w/ no clock around i didn't end up leaving 'til like almost 6am...we're true rock and roll dudes...yea...well i guess i did manage to finish everything i was going to say...to your dismay, i'm sure...
