oh the brain. i hate it. if i could turn off the tumult of thoughts (and yes i do experience an abundance of thoughts, so let the setup for an insult go please) i would sit and stare at the white of my victorian home walls and be content. at work tonight, i realized the high point of my week was when i looked at the end of the aisle in which i was working to see my boss chasing around a co-working with packing tape hanging from the crotch of his pants saying, "i just want to touch you!"
believe me when i say that this was indeed the utter high point of an awful week. perhaps its just in comparison to the weekend that preceeded the last 5 dull days. i spent my weekend drinking in beauty of all kinds courtesy of the wonderful company i've been keeping lately and the night shift at sobey's is so incredibly mind numbing and spiritually draining in comparison that i was literally fighting the urge to quit and walk out every shift.
just when i start to feel that maybe i'm not as smart as i think, my co-workers prove me wrong. the man with the packing tape hanging from the crotch of his pants is the most intelligent night crew leader i've had at sobey's and as i said, he walks around with packing tape hanging from..well you get the idea.
recently a 'boy' named cody was added to our roster. he lives with dave, the fattest and laziest man i've ever worked with and is illiterate. i have no criticism of illiteracy in and of itself, however, cody certainly will never improve anyones opinion of those who lack the gift of reading and writing skills.
his jokes always seem to lead back to someone being gay, slutty women, or somebody 'cumming' on something. in a way, he really makes me seem a lot funnier so i guess i should be thankful. the trick is not to get him started. after my boss made a particularly nifty move between 2 skids with the powerjack today i made the mistake of saying 'you sure know how to get into tight spots.' while cody was within earshot. i'm not even going to write what i heard after that. i guess i assume because i try and use a touch of sublety in my own humour that others might make the attempt. cody probably doesn't even know what the word looks like. ooooooooooooohhhhh, cheap illiteracy shot, i know.
anyway, there was one bright spot in the night. i saw ellie with tina and that guy thats around them all the time. i forget his name, sorry ellie. that was very nice. i'm an asshole because i never take the time to see ellie and she lives right down the street but it doesn't really matter how close my friends are, i'm an anti-social shut in who doesn't like to put effort into things so i never see anyone unless they happen to be at the bars i haunt on the weekends. my apologies ellie, i'm gonna try harder to take advantage of our close proximity cuz i really do miss hangin with you. its been forever.
anyway, i should sign off before this gets ridiculously long.
Miles and Miles of telephone poles.
Fallen and tossed around.
I can't talk to you anymore and I miss you.
Not in a slint way, but I miss you.
