I’ve Been Lonely (For So Long)

3 Replies

Well here I am again and it’s Friday for most, and I guess it’s Thursday for me since I have Sunday off. Then it’s 5 days, Monday through Friday with next weekend off.

I arranged to have August 22 off to see the Specials at Summerstage but they were denied visas to get into the US. They’re touring Canada but not here. Boo State Department, Boo!

So now there is a tentative plan to see the Warhol exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum with Harpy next weekend, now that Harpy is off the mainland and back on one of the islands off the coast of North America.

Today was back at the cigar shop. The mantra continues. It was a decent team, Calvin, Don Birch and Raymond. Marcus is at the tobacconist convention and will be back on Monday. It was a beautiful day that’s for sure. Q

uite nice, almost spring like, or maybe even closer to autumnal. I listened to Pylon, Hits when I went into work. Great way to start the day. They were such nice people, and it’s sad that Randy passed away last year and Pylon will be no more.

One of the best bands from Athens GA in my book. I first saw them opening up for Talking Heads in 1980 at the Dr. Pepper Festival at the Wollman Rink and didn’t quite get them.

Fast forward a few years later, I’m shopping in Free Being, the late lamented record store on Second Avenue and I see a Tyrannosaurus Rex on an album cover with a curved edge. That was enough to get my attention, enough to make me buy it, and I fell in love with them for the first time.

It was their second album and I was smitten. I was lucky enough to see them at Maxwells a few times and also able to DJ for them when they played. And they enjoyed the songs I played and even told me so.

This morning, I was early enough to relax in the backroom before I started my 10 hour shift. An excellent way to lose weight I might add. Standing around for 9 hours will slim the waist quite nicely.

My Friend My Friend came into the shop showing me a photocopy of a saucy picture of him and his family for their holiday card from the past. Quite funny and My Friend My Friend would give Divine a run for the money.

Al Sharpton even made an appearance this afternoon, didn’t say anything as he was talking into his Blackberry. I wondered aloud after he left if he put his hair in curlers when he went to bed at night. Other than that, not much else to write about.

But I have to write more as there are only 463 words written so far. Well a little bit more than that actually. The number is actually closer to 480. A number that I am comfortable with but I’m sure the number crunching word counting reader or readers would beg to differ.

Filthy beggars.

Ah the lack of motivation. The open arms of distraction. The subtle lack of desire to write. But here I am yet again. But lacking in ideas of what to write about.

I could write about how cold it is outside. Very chilly winds that cut you to the bone.

Bill was in Atlantic City last night. I was here in Bohoken not doing much at all. I watched the Winter Olympics on and off. The sound was off a lot of the time.

I was posting and chatting and chatting and posting for most of the night. My friends Lisa and Margaret and a few other Facebook friends were constantly updating their status so I didn’t really need to turn the swivel chair and look at the TV screen to my left.

Yes kd lang is getting to be a big boned gal. I guess she hasn’t been playing softball or gone bowling lately.

I did watch Donald Sutherland carry the Olympic flag onto the field with 5 other notable Canadians. I also sat and watched with the rest of the world when the fourth pillar did not rise with the other three pillars.

Awkward for the Canadians eh?

Then Wayne Gretsky jumped in the back of a pick up truck and drove to where the Sex Cauldron Olympic cauldron was situated.

Watched Jimmy Fallon over Craig Ferguson after that and lost interest after Benicio Del Toro. I went to bed soon after that. Been having crazy dreams.

One dream involved Rush Limbaugh, another featured Julio & Stine and me standing on a ledge, inching away from them. Slept really well though. Woke up to my cellphone ringing in the next room.

Bill was back from Atlantic City and on his way back to Hoboken. He offered to pick up bagels which was awfully nice.

I did go out to the supermarket before he came home. Needed eggs and some other things. Saw my cereal on sale at $1.39 a box so I bought 2 boxes and used my dollar off coupon for 2 boxes and payed $1.78!

I even went back later in the afternoon and bought 2 more boxes and left a few other coupons that I saved on the boxes there. I had amassed quite a few coupons and could afford to be generous with my fellow Post Raisin Bran eaters.

Bill was up before he asked me to wake him up. He asked for 4:15 and he was up and about 10 minutes before then. He ran around the apartment getting his stuff together for his next drive to Atlantic City.

He’s in Union now. I just checked on Google latitude. Just another night in. Still have some library DVD’s to watch.

Also spent some time creating 2 new animations.

No, not of this blog, but 2 different songs. Kung Fu Fighting and 1999. Just some interesting lyrics said by 2 different sets of characters.

It’s been that kind of day I tell you.

Right now a documentary on Soul Train is on right now. Just started on VH1 Classics. I heard some things about it, so I might as well leave it on and get down.
