Good guys finish last.

 Started the two job routine today and it was everything I expected it to be...and more, but by more I mean less.
  A long and sleepless night followed by two jobs, ten hours, one hour of walking, and a towing fee of eighty dollars.

 *sigh*

  Parking at mts is a gong show.  They have this 'scramble' parking lot in the back that is all gravel and garbage.  Long story short, I allowed two of my co workers to take parking stalls, even though I had been there before, then when it was my turn to grab the next empty one, some guy races in and takes it.
  I park in an "NON DESIGNATED PARKING AREA" for literally, 8 minutes.  I got towed.  From work.  For not being greedy.
  Then... I walked an hour through downtown and all the way to the tow yard which is in about the worst area of town... in the rain, to pay money I don't have for something that should never have happened in the first place.
  Since working for MTS I have accrued a car accident that, although not my fault, had no witnesses, so I became fifty percent liable and had to pay the two hundred dollars to get it fixed, never mind the two hundred when I need to renew the license. I just found out I have a two hundred and thirty dollar speeding ticket, going 64 in a 50...and guess where I was?  three blocks from MTS.
  And now this.....


 For all of you dramatists out there who lament their shitty lives.... take note!  I own the market shares, and I am pretty sure I created this lousy hedge fund.
Time to go to sleep so I can get up, work ten more hours, knowing full well that every penny I earn will be going to these fine, fine....fines.


  I hate this city.

Spin the globe and see where you land

      Funny the difference a season can make.  My last post at the end of Spring had me gearing up for an epic European backpacking trip.  Rome, Naples, Procida Island, Bolzano, and various other stops in Italy before swinging up to Poland to visit with a friend there after staying with a gracious and patient friend in Italy.  Wroclaw was special to see for the historical side of things but more importantly to me, it was the birthplace of my dear friend Margaret.  Slawek, her brother, and I would travel the streets of their youth that they had told me all about over the course of decades... it brought Maggie back a little bit, for a short while.  A special end to a pretty special trip.  Definitely had some bittersweet moments as well but the glory of the Roman ruins, the awe inspiring mountains of the Dolomites, to the excitement of hiking up a winding hillside through dense brush and tree cover to behold the ruins of old castles, meticu...

Blogwork is Homework is Good Work

 Hello, Gentle Reader,    This blog has always been my way of sharpening my writing chops, or shaking off the rust of my laziness and trying to find my 'voice', as it were, online.  I know, Gentle Reader, that you often do not give feedback, and thats ok.  This space isn't meant as an ego-reach and any and all feedback regarding my posts is appreciated, often more than you might guess, but thats not why I write here.     Most of my drive and reasoning is the simple act of it.  Writing is healthy for the soul and great practice more than anything else, the more practice you put in, the better at it you get... or at least that's what I keep incessantly telling myself, forever hopeful that I am in fact getting 'better' as a writer, whatever that actually means.  I suppose my ability to project my voice comes down to you, Gentle Reader.  I hope you hear me and I am able to project the visuals and a sense of where I am, figuratively as w...

Fuck this place, I’m out…

I grew up poor.  Really poor. To steal a line from Chris Rock, we grew up so poor we couldn’t afford the O R at the end of the word, we were just PO. hahaha. Still accurate. But my childhood poverty isn’t the point of this post. I mention it because growing up I had to watch all my friends going on family vacations to Disneyland and the Phillipines and Mexico and wherever their families were in the world while I roamed my asphalt jungle like a half wild animal in a cage.   I always vowed that I would see the world someday. It was a fervent childhood promise full of idealism and hope, as only a child can conjure.   In my heartbreak of being left behind and alone to fend for myself all summer, I knew, in my bones…I just KNEW… I’d go out there and see the world some day. Even as those bitter tears streamed down my little cheeks, the fire to see the world, the one I only ever read about in books, burned deep in my soul.  … … … Fast forward a few decades.  I’ve ...
