I've incontrovertably mastered holding my tounge. Something at which I have had a grievous disadvantage in the past.
One night, Brad [tall, blonde shaggy part, lanky, basehead] asked me if "Heroin gets me closer to god?" I was inequipped to answer him then, but I've decided that what his question implied, is true.
But it's also very depressing to have only the one subject on which I can lecture with authority. I'd love to wax expansive on something else, like floor buffing, for instance, something which I'm developing some skill with.
1. First prepare a solution of Citrus cleaner with warm water, proportions should take into account the surface area to be cleaned and the quantity of dirt. Slosh this around with a mop, unwrung, and great big splashes. Cover the whole floor.
2. Take a razor blade and a scrub pad and scratch off the bubblegum-type stains and scrub the areas that your floor buffing machine will not reach, and there always will be some, unless the room is a perfect circle.
3. Have at it with the floor buffer. Give every part of the room a few seconds of concentrated swirling until the froth forms a greyish cast.
4. Upon having scrubbed fully. Take a wet vaccuum, and suck up the liquid/cleaner/dirt suspension that is now spread across the floor. If the floor is tiled, try to vaccuum with the contours of the tiles.
5. After the thick layers of liquid have been extracted, mop the floor with warm, plain water.
That's about it. Sometimes the procedure varies, like if you want to wax the floors also. I've got an apron with a circular metal wire scrubber, and a razor blade scraper. It's my most prized posession in this job.
This, other, job, that I have also been keeping up with is pretty dull. If you've ever wanted to just fuck around all morning and walk around in contradicting paths all afternoon, do this.
