new orleans with valerie

we were about 3 miles from the train station and we realize we forgot something VERY important. important enough to go back for. we make the decision to go try to test fate and do a uturn.

my driving wasn't swift enough and the train pulled away as we made it to the station.

sadness, anger and frustration.

we eat breakfast, i eat a handful of sleeping pills and wake up and leave with ian and brooks. i drift in and out of existance the whole drive there, the pills and alcohol working very well.

trying to sum the whole week of insanity is kinda difficult…..going to the aquarium and ripley's believe it or not while on drugs was definetely a story for the grand kids.

the one thing that was probably the funniest and yet of course we dont' have a pic, was when we were walking to Cafe Roma and i noticed some gutter punk kid asleep on the curb.

i think “aww how i miss new orleans”. Then the police show up and start nudging the guy in the throat with their flashlights trying to wake him up. Dude still isn't moving. Then i notice the camera man and the guy pointing. They're filming Cops in New Orleand and we're watching it live.

The dude finally sits straight up, spends some time with the medics and the police, firefighters and camera crew go off to deal with real emergencies and things that get better ratings.

When we were walking out of Ripley's Believe It Or Not this tarot card reader started trying to hit us up for. We sit and talk with him for like 45 minutes before he realizes we have no cash.

mad pwned.

I got a pic of his sign for the next time.

Now we gave out a lot of stickers while there, so if you're one of those shopkeepers who happened to get one of our NO W stickers then i appreciate your support *wink*

how not to go to the dentist

i want you all to learn something from my site.

right now.

don’t forget it
…..here it is….

DON’T FUCK UP YOUR ROUTINE WHE YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO.

okay, lets say you want to get rid of a vice, do it on a long weekend, spring vacation, etc. do NOT do it during the work week or when you have something akward to do.

like the dentist..

okay, im sober. still high, but not a drop of the sweet precious alcohol that i

advertising causes therapy

i may have mentioned this before but i want to comment on this again.

i went and saw a movie with my girlfriend. this is a fairly common activity for people my age to participate in. before the movie, which we paid our honest money for, we get to sit thru Chevy Truck and Este Lader(sp) commercials.

its disgusting that before we can watch the movie we have to be force fed commercials, not previews of other movies, which in retrospect is just as fucking disgusting, but now we just have blatant coporate infomercials blasted in our brains before we can enjoy what we paid for.

i used to think “okay, maybe we should just get to the movies later, thus arriving late enough to avoid the bullshit”. but then you end up sitting in the top corner with only half of your vision.

it makes you wonder, back when movies first came out and people rolled into theatres, you’d get to watch a news brief before your movie. sure, that’s just propaganda from the goverment but at least it doesn’t make me want to buy makeup or a new truck…

hmmm

yesterday i went to the client who ive traded web hours for furniture and picked up the rest of my “payment”. i picked up some book cases, end tables, a pretty nice leather chair, a computer for the kitchen, a desk and chair for ian and 2 tvs.

this has inspired me. im going to call all 150 liquor stores listed in the realyellowpages.com and stock the bar with liquor store websites.

i can happen.
