toupees are for champions

sending a shout-out to the man who sat next to me on the train today despite the fact that there were a good 20 seats open, lonely, and just begging to be occupied by someone's posterior. sir, may I just say that you are sporting one hell of a toupee, and I wish you much bliss and prosperity.

i went to school for ONE class today that begins at 8:15 in the a.m. every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so that's always great. waking up at 6am is spectacular.

The momma decided that I should treat her to lunch at Red Lobster since we cannot consume meat on Fridays during lent. There we sat with our scrawny shrimp & calamari (sea vegetables) while the folks at the table right next to us feasted on some very appetizing looking T-Bones...God's got a sense of humor ladies and gents!!! The pi~a colada I gulped was most definitely in order.

I took a phenomenal nap today; it was so cozy that I might still be sleeping now if I did not have to work tonight. Ahhh...the closing shifts as a server. There's always that chance that a pair of ignoramus' will waltz in 5-10 minutes before close, leave you 5 dollars on a $60 bill, and tell you your service was out of this world. I know...I know...something is better than nothing- but, when you are getting paid in peanuts for your hourly wage, accurate tipping is always appreciated. Take care of the server that takes care of you.

The state of California awaits my arrival next Friday night. I don't know what to expect of the place. The media always makes all of its inhabitants seem like first class jerk-faces. And we all know T.V. would NEVER lie to us!!!!

Today I got to thinking about expressive kisses and all-encompassing embraces- and how f-in divine it would be to be greeted like that on a daily basis. I see it at school all the time...you got your cutesy couples here and there, but then there are those couples that you spy- the ones that know what they have; the ones that don't care that they might get hurt, and decide to just love. In them, I see so many things that would make this whole world a nicer place if everyone accepted love. How great would it be to be greeted by someone as if that person has thought of nothing but you all day? Don't get me wrong, I can't stand it when couples are practically conceiving a couple of kids within the eyeshot of like- everyone. I'm talking about tasteful greetings that just display one thing between two people. That one thing: crazy faith. There's nothing wrong with showing the world that you are taking a chance on something that is so risky these days. Relationships are risky business- there are waaaay too many volatile, ill-intentioned people out there to be able to readily trust anyone. But when a person listens intently, they can hear the innate "ok" from the ol ticker if it is indeed safe to proceed.

With that said, I will "shut it off" as my pal Meaghan says and give you what I think is a suitable quote of the day. (The person who said it did use profanity and it would be outrageous of me to misquote him.)
