what a sour way to end a fun night at shooters,
well into 1am, quite sloshed as is my custom on tuesday nights. i took my piercing off for a split second and when i went to put it back on the ball bearing dropped out of my hand and skipped its way into a new life on the floor amongst dust and beer droplets.
i blindly skimmed my hands through the contours of the surface of the floor, having the casual passerby tell me it was hopeless. there was this one random dude who was particularly over-zealous in helping me look and i appreciated it (i think i might've worked with him somewhere in the blur of my 30+ temp assignments, but who can remember...)
but voila! i spotted something shiny which most assuredly was stainless steel ball bearing. i clasped it tightly between my thumb and index finger, rolling it to confirm it was a ball. it was not! it was actually a tiny shard of glass and i cut my thumb because of it.
when i stood up, i realized i had missed saying goodbye to most of my friends. and the only ones still there were wallowing in a self-indulgent hatred of men and all the post-modern feminism in the world couldn't snap them out of it. so i grabbed a handfull of cocktail napkins and clamped down on my hand.
driving home with my thumb elevated, i couldn't help but laugh a little and be remind of neil cassidy in 'on the road' who also cut his thumb and constantly had it elevated saying "dig it".
my parents are leaving sunday. next sunday i'll be starting the process of moving my shit to my new home and a month from now i'll be in a foreign country in the first vacation i've had in two years. time is zooming by and i'm looking over old possibilities that have been on the back burner for a year or longer.
if they don't materialize this time i'll just throw out those old stale possibilities and finally move on. it's 'last chance saloon' if i might borrow the phrase from a friend. i'm tired of coming to the realization that i've spent another year of my life trying to accomplish something that is unviable.
oh well, now i guess i'll buy a spiffy new eyebrow ring
