It's like working in a giant orphanage after Nazis have killed all the nuns.

About Me

"He'd be driving in the city, cigarette in one hand, the wheel in the other. The oldies blaring out of the worn out speakers of the '87 Chevy. He'd be screaming and swearing at the top of his lungs, every now and then you'd be able to catch an 'OI!' in between 'fukn shits' and 'fanfukntastic you lousy motherfucks!' Things would get shitty, the shit would really hit the fan, and the day would only get worse as things progressed. Bad luck. But things never really got to him. Oh no, Jonas Thorazine would go sailing into an ocean of shit with a grin on his face and a bottle of some cheap wine by his side. When others would be giving up and sailing back, Jonas T. would be up in the crow's nest, screaming for more in his drunk-ass pirate voice, and I'd be hanging from the sail laughing. Yeah, fuck you." Joey Alone, Summer 1998

Reading Lolita in my Dreams

I've always had fairly vivid and complex, mostly absurd and often twisted dreams, and a good memory for them.  I don't remember much of last night's, except for the very ending.  The se...

no call, no show, no balls, no soul

Well, yes, I was fired by Barnes and Noble.  Not for any interesting reason really, though I got my share of free espresso and saltines.  Just an argument with the no-necked gen. mgr. that l...
