Lan Kwai Fong. Love Punk.

I'm selling the Stark Raft while its  running smoothly. I just got the full tune up, oil change, starter, oil relay switch, injectors, throttle body cap and rotor. I also now have five tires that match, size wise. She purrs like a cougar in warmth. I figure i could spend another three grands on the windshield rubber, the gas gauge, the interior, the exterior and the stereos and air-cons but i could dump her for $1500 to a collector of fat vans. Maybe i will get the air done though, and the stereos. CRAP!!
I just found out that the label Love Pink is now owned by Victoria's Secret. They must be on 30mil$ a quarter. They;re stuff is everywhere. The Snacton's line of copy wear is called Live Punk and the connected charity gives cash to disenchanted ex punkers with debilitating habits. Our wolf cry would go something like "hey we're punk but we're still alive, dammit". Punk Bowling Fest was this week. Bloody good!

Beers!

 Simply Fabulous! We have soo much in common already. I love that little tea stone tea house in the cove. Good memories there. Also I was an engineer on the "Beetle" building in Hong Kong. Your picture show it quite prominently. Lan Kwai Fong for blues and tequila will always bring a smile. Consider me for a chat and a potential freindship, you won't regret my devotion. Grounded by flight, Tony. Last week, i emailed a chick that had pictures of the stone tea house on Lake Tahoe and the Beetle on Kowloon Harbour, both of which i have a history with. I mentioned Lan Kwai Fong, a hip spot i highly recommend to anyone visiting Hong Kong. I think she has checked out my Match profile a few times but hasn't the guts or desire to holla back. Today i emailed another chick who actually mentioned Lan Kwai Fong. I hope she has the balls to hazard a reply. Love Pinpink. Lan Kwai Fong for blues, sushi and tequila. Sydney for dinner and corkings. 26 meters down for sightseeing and a quick smooch. I am still intrigued by your style of writing and sense of style. It's as though you were asking for me by name. We've got to meet! Though i am not a six footer, i do walk softly and carry a big stick. Shoot some pool? Share some stories? I won't say another word until you let me know you're listening, Tony B.

Behind the Laughter.

Mon key to true happiness.

Real talk. I haven't been happy, truly happy, for years. I wonder whether or not i am not happy because i am weird, or weird because i am debilitated by a deep sadness. Am i lonely because i am depressed or depressed because i am not able to maintain friendships? Am i incapable of maintaining relationships or am i not interested in people? People disappoint. Friends don't know how to love me long term. Am i happy to be alone or am i invisible and thus just dealing with oneness the best that can be expected. Am i laughing or am i acting. Real talk, i am really laughing because i am really funny. I am a really good friend because i am really good and friendly. I do fear intimacy and that must be because i am afraid that people fear my intimidation and subsequently, me. If you give me a chance, you might like me and we can't have that can we?.

Cat claws? No thanks!

I went to court today for the Vegascabbie offence. They gave me 5.5 hours of community service at the non-profit of my choice. I want to do an animal shelter. I want an animal. Dog, cat, monkey or pangolin. I prefer the pangolin because they require the least attention. Monkeys are a barrel full and dogs shit all over the yard. Cats are cool but don't need people and their smile is not always genuine. Dogs have a need for people and when they smile, they mean it. Pangolins dont have a smile and monkeys have the cutest, human like smiles. Cats bury their shit, monkeys throw their shit and pangolin shit can be made into bling and sold on the open market. Dogs protect by biting and barking, pangolins hide underground and only come out at night, monkeys will party with anyone and domesticated cats are useless. Cats are feline and dogs are mans best friends.

Do the carpets match the drapes? Yup!

I think i'll get a girlfriend who has a monkey face.

Quitters often never win. Vegascabbie. Erains.

I met some cool folks over there at PRR. Within two days i new everyone's name. There were 18 in my class. I sat in the back so i remembered by hearing and caring to know. My favorites were Tami Hill, Thomas Davis, Jasmine Fields, Angela Johnson and Mary Elayne Rains. I had more faves but...

Ear to the Ground. My Ear of Living Dangerously.

The eardea has gotten new legs. I Googled costumed panhandlers in Vegas and found that many of these take in $300 a day in tips. Now i don't know what they mean by day and i don't know what they take in per year but i haven't made 3 blz in a day in yonks. Estimating in the median, that's a good nine hunnies a week and $400 on the weekend for me alone. I get two suits made and charge $40 a day for the 5 day week and thats 6K per month. The downsides printed about costumed panhandlers were minimum and the upsides were about the same. I think a great big ear has more to do with Vegas than Batman does. Don't you?

I see today as being my last at PRR. I don't want to quit another job but in order to get my bonus, i have to make at least tenK in collections and be here for a month. Even if i got ten thousand today, i would be hard pressed to harass folks for another 19 days just to get the $200 dollar bonus. Yes 2%. Now if i were the type, there could be $40 grand in it per year, eventually, but, really, i ain't the one to make a thousand phone calls just to take $400 in bonuses. Plus half of my team is interested in the work and even they won't last through the bonus check. One team was waiting to find out who they're manager was going to be. She was in our class, just starting out. No experience at PRR! My manager has been there for 3 months. Our trainer's last day after 2.5 years was Friday. She was quite distracted during her last training session what with the big job interview, her son's illness, her sons two sports and school ending and her 3 big dogs attacking the elderly. Not the best training, but good enough to get us onto the floor. Driving cab in Vegas From June to September is actually quite a nice gig. Especially if experienced.

Dia de la Memorial. Snacton Sushi Trux Cool. Human Experience.

Chef Snacton's Sushi Uni.

Sushimi has to be cold. People have to have sashushmi. Sushami is expensive. People will pay to learn how to make sashisushi in my ice truk filled with cool fish and hot saki. Also the finished product will be inexpensive because we will be getting paid to teach the methods and not paying a landlord. Triple win!!!
Netflixing "The Human Experience". Altruistic young New Yorkers  seeking to give and receive answers concerning what it is to give a care about others. Good premise.

Uni de la Urchin.

Today is Memorial day. I am alone. I love sushi. I have worked 36 hours this long weekend. I deserve something nice. Sushi is within 20 meters of my mouth and nose. Uni in my universe. Maybe. I am alone.

Id Ears. Ear chives. New Car Ear.

Kiss your ear good bye. The newest dire erection is rising up to hit me in the face. I met a dude on the bus and he told me that he makes grips renting out costumes to folks that go onto the strip and panhandle the tourists. He does the Mario Brothers costumes and others do Hell No Kitty, Trans Formerly Employed , Spider Dude, Bat Bro, Mick y Mouse and Zack Guyafianakis holding a baby. My idea is "Ear Bud".
Ears are funny, thought provoking, naughty and most of all, they're Vegas. What happens in Vegas, stays in your ear. Tell me your secrets or don't but it's the photo that counts. I make a face and it tells the story. I get others who can make faces and hold up a sign that says something funny that has to do with an ear and charge $3 to $4 and stow the dough. I drove the cab over to the foam shop on Sahara and they told me where to go. I want to get four ears made. Two on South strip, 1 for Fremont at night and one extra. If the orejas are well made they could be worth thousands. Heaters in the winter and coolers in the summer. The backs can be exposed in the summer and covered in the winter. Snap on options? 6 feet high and 3' wide, guaged or ear rings, brown or pink. Cauliflowered? I can drive cab part time and drink part time! Ch Ears!!

Ill Legal Collections. Liti Gators. You've not been served.

GOGO THE GOLEM. HURT HUMANS.

I've known for years that the credit card industry was poorly conceived and managed by the employed. I was aware that the interest rates levied were of a mechanical mother and a mindless father. I knew that the various departments that should be serving our best interest weren't purposed with informing us as to the grave danger we are in each month. When the interest rate goes up 25% overnight and no email is sent or no beeper alarm goes off, balls are dropped. It is the debtors fault, sho nuff, but if we are intent on paying the bill and have been doing so instead of attending to our vices, we should get a courtesy call. I don't have to speak to a live person, just send an auto beep that says "DUDE, the ax is fixed to be heading your way". If we miss a payment cut us some slack. Don't cut our heads off. Charge us $5 bucks and lets move on to the next payment. I was living in my Rizide and was still paying the note each month, for a year. Then in April of 2011 something happened and the rate went up from 0 to 25% with no human involved. Convenient to the industry because they can let the machine dismember it's members, but sucky to it's dissed non-remembering ex-members. Bad business on my part i know, but reign in the monsters you've created to do your dirty work. I've been paying 25% for a year! FFF!!!
The new job over at PRA is working against the principles of fair or lending or collecting. We sue people with no money. We set the law dawgs out onto the folks trying to hold on to their dignity. True, some of these slackers are out to bleed the system, but others got sick, lost their jobs, went mad or got sidetracked. I say that if they are willing to pay, let them work on it. My team manager is quite heartless and thus, i must not serve to reward this Golem of a system.

Hot Time in the City. The long ride home.

The landlord/mechanic got my $200 down to start on the Stark Raft. It was dark when i got home and i didn't stop for any beers or nuthin. I left PRA and headed down to Tropicana blvd.. The temperature was 104 in the shade and so i waited. The bike rack was full and some unseen voice pointed this out and ordered that i wait for the next bus. I held my tongue so as not to have to raise my heart ratso i rode. Fast. I past the bus within 3 blocks. My credit union is on Decatur and Desert Inn. The ATM was down!( and so was i. I pedaled down to Flamingo and Arville, caught the bus East. Some Spanish dude that worked at the Rio got on and mean mugged a black guy whilst bumping in to him. The negro was so upset that he was shaking while loudly berating the Mexican. The bro was with a hot white chick too. Hot!! When i got up to leave the little black took my seat, leaving his snowflake, to sit facing the Hispanic so as to mad dog him full time. Not only did i miss my stop, pissed of a big thug who tried to trip me. Choosing better i headed in the wrong direction towards Ellis Island Brewery for some booze and beer chasers forgetting that the ATM was down leaving me penniless. And on the way to the ATM at Audrie and that one street my bike seized up. Luckily, i had found a screwdriver to use on the Fuji Odessa. Even this failed until out of frustration i cursed the bike and it popped in to shape. I got my money and proceeded down to Trop. for the bus. A drunk was crossing the street and stopped the cab driver in lane one but not the cab driver in lane two. His lucky day. He got struck by the cabbie, despite my warning,  and flew 15 meters into the air. !! I stayed there for a half hour watching the show. By now it was getting dark and thus cooling off. The bike broke down a mere 1/4 mile from the pad. DANG! Somehow, after much fuss, she fixed herself once again. I got home, handed dude the money, and jumped into the pool. So quiet. So cool. So tire fixing.

Wanted: Luv.

Looking for  "the one" sux. Sometimes i wonder if i'm better off alone. If i had love she would make me stay in one place, she would always want to fix my collar, she would expect flowers and sushi and what not, she would catch me looking at her and then stealing smooches. This one chick has me thinking about her. You see i fall easily which is so unlike an Aries. This is the email i sent her "You seem like a true sweety. Work can dominate our lives and leave us with no love. Whats your story lv? I have loved and lost and now it's time to settle down with the last of loves. Working long is good and all but we should have someone longing for us always. We have a lot in common, lv. I like country, movies, cooking, exploring, sports, outdoors, cuddling and so much more. I am a good catch and wish you would throw yourself at me so that i can prove it. Totally trustworthy and loyal, energetic and dedicated to the people i have in my circle. Get back to me and lets talk, Tony B." Stoopid me, i should never have reached. You don't reach you don't get trouble. She has viewed my profile a couple times since then so i wrote her saying "try reaching me" and gave her my number.
I failed my legal test on third party contacts. I retake tomorrow. Starting to doubt this cubicle thing. Starting to doubt.
Got my tax check and my paycheck. will have 2k in the bank soon. 
Snacton Legal Collections and Smoke Stop.

No home privileges. Politicks. Default consultant.

The new gig is still proving difficult. Training is going well and my p.r. team thinks i will be a superstar in the field, but my typing skills make me think otherwise. All i have to do is look around the classroom for reassurance. I'll be OK. What we do is call people whose loans are in default, tell them they are at risk of being sued and attempt to collect on the loan. We get a cut of the take and the better we get the more we make. Folks are taking in $1600 in bonuses on the regular. The high last month was $2800 and i can skid by on $1200 so...
I have a biting issue. I'm getting snact on by something and have yet to see the chigger that's taking liberties with my flesh. Dang.
I subscribe to Sodahead.com and leave the occasional comment. Some of the surveys have been: Can Jennifer Aniston play a drug addicted hooker role? What up with the George Zimmerman shooting? What do you think of the "anyone but Obama mentality"? I wrote in on the Obama question out of shock that a great number of Americans would rather vote in a convicted criminal than him. Well here is my comment. "Don't let politics get in the way of our chances of getting out of this recession and enjoining the future. The future is going to require a forward thinking leader that people like. Regaining our prominence and honor is not a 1 term job. The ship is going FORWARD and the actions that were began or are not yet started will suffer greatly by changing command. The "anyone but our current president" sentiment is narrow sighted and, in my opinion, quite dangerous to the inertia we've built. Pinochet, Pol Pot, Mugabe, Hitler and other leaders were killing, starving or otherwise harming millions of there own people and deserved the hatred they received, but our president is effectively making positive changes. The world is having stomach cramps and changing the medicine just to try something else could be fatal. What i tell those that say changing horses in the middle of the river is "don't". What i tell people that want a new president is "you may just win'!  In this day and age the leader of America needs to be a worldly, knowledgeable, ebullient, suave, bold and charismatic person who has a draw for as many people as possible. Romney is not that guy. In modern times the leaders will be able to unite anb fight for all."
I don't have house privileges and so have to go and find another place. I took this place before i got the new gig so iut was a different time. The pool is nice, the landlord will fix my van, the price is $50 a week, it's quiet, the Parvahti is happy to be there and it's easy enough to get to work. But a shower situation, wi-fi, kitchen use and a normal life would be nice to sufficing. If dude helps me to fix the gas problems and i find a place closer to work, i'm outta there. I showered at work the other Wednesday and will do so again this week. The weekend saw me working the cab and the money was good. How do people make it on an $8 an hour job? Do they? Shaved at Starbux today. Noice!!

Live Stock. Custom Aries. An auto free future.

I took the Starkraft to work on Monday and tried to drive away after a good day of training and NO!! It wouldn't start. DEAD!! I got in touch with Allstate, had them send a van out to jump it and the word was STARTER. So the guy, Hong, says he will fix it for $240 on the spot. the starter was $45 and the rest in labor. I go to watch the Lakers lose and eat some chili fries and return, quite trepidatiously, to find that the job was done and it was no problem. I drive off and by the time i got to the first light, DEAD!! It turns out i ran out of gas. I start to kvetch and then here comes Hong with a half gallon of gas, enough to get me to the station. As i pull in, out of gas again. I go the wrong way against traffic and pull in perfectly. I drive to the first place i think would get the thing checked out and sleep soundly as always. The keys are dropped in to the slot and i walk around looking for the phone number to the place. Miraculously, i find an old flyer that expired in Oct. of 2011 and pocket it. Long story short they want $1550 to get stuff done. I reckon i can get back on the road for $900. Too much doh! I pay the $60 for the information and they say i can pick it up in the morning. I make sure they park it outside so i can sleep tight. I go to Starbux to finish watching "The God who wasn't there". Interesting. Time for a buffet. I do the Chinese for $11.00. Goolah! I met a dude named Jeff who has a hi-top conversion like me and he is also having machine stress. He is writing a book with pen and paper only. I go in to the bar and lose $35 of the $90 i won the night before. DANG!! I do a Hefeweizen with lemon and a shot of Tequila, stock. I walk to work for the second day in a row. Trop to Badura. After training i walk back with a small blister developing on my left foot. Limp.  I get the keys and the Starkraft wont start. I get a message from Manny the landlord and tell him the story. I regret leaving a box of jewelry outside of the Rizide under a sheet. STOOPID!! I call him and tell him i won't be taking the bus out there to hand him $50 bucks for rent. Hakuna matata. He has $100 of up front money for just this eventuality. Coffee. Craigslist mechanic. Movie. Buffet. Phone. Movie and coffee.

Big Monday. Workaholic or what?

I went out and got a big desk calendar and a note pad for debt collector school. My pencil is sharpened and my pants are pressed and ready. The recruiter suggested business professional but i will be doing Vegas 100 degree weather pro. instead. I know not to let them see me sweat. I am really excited to get to work learning this new career. Stay tuned.
My brother is moving out of the house and into an apartment so i went over got most of my stuff into the van and now have no room to move and no time to move it. I will be taking an hour reduction from 72 to 64 and will report on the possibilities soon. I should be able to get behind the wheel and sleep when i get tired. Getting off at 1pm on Sat and Sun should provide plenty of time to rest up.
Mothers day today :(    Had a bit of a cry at the tire store when i got to thinking too much about mom. It's to be expected.

Working tard. Sweet shift. Stacking chips.

I made about $400 in the past two days behind the wheel of the cabriolet. That's in cash. On my check i made about $170 duck bills at a buck a duck. I can see myself saving up a carpet bag full of drachmas in a hurry what with the $50 a week pad and the two jobs. I'll be sooo tard i won't even have the energy to get another job. Das koo. I know that if I start to sell my windshield decals for $40 each while sleeping in the van on a heavily trafficked road and sold two a day...

Eddie Vetter. Core Vetted. Vet TED.

I got the job!! The last of the vetting took place and i got the call with the good news. I walked in to the cab co. and told them I wanTED to work weekends only and got the sheet handed to me. Sat. and Sun. Perhaps Fri. Sat would be better, i don't know yet. I did some numbers yesterday and with a $1000 bonus each month could be making $36k. At 8 hours a day 5 days a week in the same town and without having to delouse each night due to the nature of my business, it's definitely an upgrade. Soon i can have that '63 split window, tri-tone Corvette.
I just watched "About a Son" the audio documentary featuring Curt Cobain out of Nirvana and the Northwest of the U.S. Curt was depressed and suicidal since childhood due to medical and family issues. Mental and drug issues came later and the dark star finally ceded his life to a chance at happiness. Eddie Vedder of the Pearl Jam met him once and said he was a cool dude.

Check out the TED Conference. It's a gathering of forward thinkers that actually make moves toward effecting change throughout the world.

Small plots. Whole foods. Freshthemovie.com

Just watched "Fresh, the Movie" and it substantiated, once again, the belief i have in sustainable agriculture. Large agribusiness is a danger to our food future, health and sense of earth. We have to regain our earth senses so as to ensure that the next generations have the knowledge to return to the way it has been for centuries. It's figured out, we just have to get big business off the farm.  Some areas have no vegetables, eat bad meats filled with growth hormones and won't buy a tomato grown organically because of the cost. If vacant lots were re-purposed to grow and raise food products, the kids will soon know the value of hard work and the taste of victory of the powers that be infringing on our choices. It's a win win when we compost, allow nature to do it's thing and grow more than we can eat. Aqua culture and agriculture taken vertically will produce fish, recreation, mollusks and rain. Processed algae will produce fuel for our machinery as well. Look into it, the Snacton has.

Lazy Fair. Vetting day. Homeless women.

There seems to be as many ladies on the street as gents. Whats that like, being female and without the vanity mirror, bidet and a room of ones own? It must be more of a debilitator than it is for a man. It is for sure. Our culture of ignorance towards the plights of the misfortunate  is deplorable. America should know better than to treat it's mothers, sisters and daughters with total contempt as it does. Sure it's an effort but we can send a man to the moon but not a women to a care facility? SUP??
Tishshera from PRA called to say the company will be calling my ex employers to see if they exisht. I should hear back from them by Thursday.

The McDonald's i went to yesterday once again affirmed that people are lazy/stoopid. There was a spill of vanilla milkshake of the floor for twenty minutes and the babies were eating it. I told the kids NO and then informed the staff of the potential liability. They walked around it for another twenty minutes before mopping it up. SUP??

Riding Hard. Coffee diet. Pack o mints.

Some of the major factors of life the living rough have to deal with is hygiene, antigenes, clean jeans, family genes and Benjameans. Dealing with pretty miss Jeanie in the bottle is something we hope to encounter with a modicum of success. Clean clothes don't last and they are one of the separators between the pillars of society and the earth the pillars stand on. What is it about the transient that makes them want to wear dirty clothing? Is it a badge of honor worn only by the battle worn or is there something more sinister lurking beneath the outer armor. I believe society should provide for clean laundry. If folks can't manage to get to the laundry and pay for service it should be given gratis. There are plenty of clothes out there and therefore no reason for the citizens of earth to don crusty garments beyond their use. It's mind warping to have to do as much. A "free" spa would not be too difficult to organize. Sentient beings, vehicles, buildings and lungs are better feeling when they are kept up. Yes it's true that many of the indigents are predisposed to mental illness which leads to a natural separation from others , but this must be changed from within. Within us, the "normal", caring, apathetic majority. Where is the "CARE"? If there were more women running the world we would have more money for matters that matter such as pocket change for those without, health care for everyone. When the Snacton gets recognized there will be social programs which include large gardening tracts, the land of which is worked by the living rough. Hands in soil are soon healed. Farms covered by photo-voltaic panels providing shade, wines, meats, fuel, beers, medicine, work, income and energy for the masses of those with and without. We have the acreage and technology to make this happen, all we need is desire and the magic will follow.
Went and  bought my first pack of smokes in nearly two years. I rode the bike for 15 miles yesterday from Tropicana and Mountain Vista, so as to pick up the van on Decatur and Desert Inn. Aerobics are key to fitness. Coffee ain't key.

Facebook Friends. A card of words and letters.

Remember when penmanship was used on a regular basis. We used to feel the need to write a note to someone to let them know we cared. Great effort went in to creating the write phraseology which would convey our feelings. Three page letters were common because we had things to say to each other and often three pages weren't enough to catch someone up on the latest details, the things we saw, the latest news and the other letters we wrote to other friends. Often, artistic additions would let us know the degree of the writers affection. We took pride in sending embellishments on fancy paper filled with words of encouragement, condolence, congratulations and advice. There was a time we waited anxiously for the mail to be delivered. Now, not so much. Facebook is replacing face time. We accept friend requests with no comment. When you befriend, be friends. Buy a Snacton post card and post it to someone you LIKE. This one was sent by my artist friend Charlotte. What a card.

Park and Parvati. Shingle most devastating event do date.

I am watching "Vera Drake" on the NetFlix. Oh to be alive and working in early 50's England. The part of the story i refer to is the part where people look out for each other. Vera wanted every person she knew to be pleased as punch and went to extremes to make sure of it. Also "Reginald" was a bit of a dolt and yet found happiness and marriage with Vera's socially retarded daughter. I have yet to finish the film. I wonder at my own happiness. I got the Shingles in July of 09' and even though i am quite good at relationships, i am in a great deal of pain as the nerve damage is excruciatingly electrifying. Short term dalliances will be no problem but someone will have to get used to what it takes for me to make it through everyday life. Lifelong random inner lightning strikes can be a tad distracting. My hope is that the Snacton will allow me the freedoms that are required to, at the very least, relax with my love. I can do philanthropic business for myself while in pain, but working for someone else to no better end would hurt in more ways than i can ever begin to imagine. 

I moved the Rizide to the smog shop parking lot which also has a car wash. I gave her a good scrub down and ran out of water/1/4's before rinsing off the passengers side. It's no one person job, washing the Fleet Wood, not without more quarters. Please let the smog gods shine rays of benevolence down on us.

VanDangle. South Winds of Change. JapaNegro Rigger.

Officially home free again. I slept in the Stark Raft for the first time last night and since i have everything i had in the Roach Fauxtel inside, it made for an uneven sleep. I think i slept on my kitchen supplies as i had dreams of curried game hens on a bed of mustard yellows, deep fried eggplant and gritsy cheese, beet juice reduction on jellied trout amandine, spinach marmalade on wild boar taco bites and pickled mole asses. Bacon Alaska was for desert. I tossed like a field salad. Short commute though.
I worked a twelve, made good tips, got my check and went to work on the Rizide I rigged the gas line to the two gallon tank and jumped her to life. I got a hundred yards and she ran out of gas! I then went to get more petrol, repeated the riggin and drove to the gas station for $100 in regular. I then hooked up the line to it's original specs and nothing. So then i ran the line straight to the front gas tank and let her run for a good 20 minutes. The gas line must be clogged or something. I left her in the parking lot of the supermarket and now i'm with good old McDonald's ex-wi-fi drinking sweet tea. This one has hot water, soap aplenty, towels and a blow dryer. Nice for the bird bath. I smell like antiseptic pumice soap though. Outside of the spa room though, this is the worst Mickey Dees ever, They must send the worst of the worst here to train. These employees are yelling curse words at each other, letting running water go unattended across the floor, joking loudly, shuffling about, staring down the paying customers and playing an age 17 and over channel on the TV. Lots of adult material with little kids running about. Tonight i should get the mofo home to the new place while it's dark but that would make getting to work on time difficult. It's my day off though and i could use a break. ??? The new job starts on the 14th so i wont get a check till the 1st of June. Rent is only $50 a week though so i should chill.
The dude doing my first designs for Snacton has flaked so far.
I asked the girl at Hooter's to call me four days ago.
I wrote my best email yet to a chick on Match.com to no avail. I feel an affinity towards your profile. Sedaris = cerebral and other worldly. SLO says smaller beaches with real people who have an appreciation of place. Simon- Natural Woman. Pasta tells me that you are not afraid to be yourself. Redwoods~"Be still and know that I am God". Awareness should be recognized. She's a Betty either means you are a Betty or that you see yourself as a regular gal. I like the way you look and wonder how you would look at me. Lets talk? I am friendly but friend free here in Vegas. Do call, Tony B. 
The email was in direct response to her profile.
I want a puppy.

Jens Pulver. Tony Stark. Junior Seau.

Even though Iron Man (Tony Stark) had loads of money, attention and adoration, he was incomplete for the lack of affection from his father. The scene in Iron Man 2 where his father speaks to him by way of celluloid touch is quite the gift, not only to Tony but to the world. Make a special effort, Regularly, to prove your love to your loved ones.
I saw Jr. Seau's mother crying out to her son asking him why he took his own life without first saying "help". His mother will forever suffer the cruel quietness her son chose to use. Talk to your mother when you hurt.

Jens's father was a total tyrant and still Jens will forever be incomplete for the lack of any patriarchal love and affection. It seems as though any amount of positive attention would have helped to channel the negative energy away and normalize the boys childhood. Call the police on the bad people. Get the evil out.
I am reminded of the baby monkey choosing the wire mother with the skin of terry cloth over the wire mother devoid of any warmth but giving of rewards. We would rather have the warmth of love and starve than be fed and denied compassion. Reach out and touch someone. Really.
With Snacton, a large emphasis will be placed on education basics. What to do, how to be, where to go, what to use, when to speak, how to say, who to follow. Perhaps the most import lesson is the why of it all. If you act a certain way a certain reaction is sure to make you react with action. Live with your pants halfway down your legs and you can't assist everyone.

Snacton Product Run. Donations Required. Calling All Angels to Back the Snacton

The VC world is one wrought  with pits and slings and not barbecue and Singapore. Venture Capitalists serve and important niche with necessary monies with which to  continue the venture with the wind of new capital. Willing to give up a good portion of the biz?(  In need of the contacts promised by the veterans of industry?, the Angels will be glad to trade with you. Snacton will go with the "Micro-Front", system of fundraising. The public can front us the money for a single run of product. Say a run of stickers and tees including design costs for 1st run status is $1600. The donor will receive a benefit such as a mention on the product and a chance to buy me dinner. Also they will get their money back with interest. Any group can get some quality advertising for FREE and contribute to the design of the product line. Those that get the concept can help to ensure/insure our success. It is important for me to maintain 100% ownership in the business. For storytelling purposes. All loans are to be repaid with a buyout clause prohibiting anyone from acquiring partial ownership of The Snacton.

Beaucoup to do. Fuel duel. Russia can see Snacton from it's back porch.

I ran a new fuel line from the pump and filled it with enough gas to get a pulse. No pulse <:(>  Called Dave from the Craigslist and he can't make it out till Tuesday. Perhaps i'll roust Crackhead Kenny to help out. So unless i get someone else to do the work, i sleep in the StarkRaft till then. I told the new landlord, Manny, that i wouldn't be moving in till then anyway so we're good. Sigh.  My moving day from the Roach Way Inn is on Saturday so it's either 3 days of living roughisht or figure something out. Saving hundreds is my mantra. Dave wants at least $100, my brother gets $120, $60 for the phone, Citibank gets $209, Manny gets $150 and I get the rest. I must get over to the post office to make sure my tax check gets to me. That would solve all of my problems grandly. Smog and registration would compliment the insurance swelly.
Got a call from PRA's recruiting office and i pissed my test with flying colors. I'm in! $1200 a month base take home during the two weeks of training (5/14) and then it's the onus of the bonus (6/1) .
I have had 15 page views from Russia.

The new space. Urine check. Your motor ran.

Well i managed to pee for prosperity. Ezee peezie!  I spent the morning working on the Rizide and it may be the case that the fuel has turned to goo. The gauge reads nearly half a tank so i may have to bypass all of the varnish with a fresh boat tank of petrol and a line to the fuel pump just to get her to the east side of town. I have already put the deposit down and am parsing down my list. 1)Plastic lock boxes. 2)Boat fuel tank or something. 3)Pack up. 4) Start the barbie. 5)Get a girlfiend. 6)Jump in the pool with girlfiend. 7)Eat barbie.
I paid a dude $150 to put a battery in and then tell me she needed more work to get on the road. If he were into servicing the customer, he would have sold me on getting the job done.
My new rent will be $200 per the month so i will have money to get lots of stuff done on Parvhati and get more designs each month.

The beginning of non-poverty. Snacton product flow. New Ca. Rear.

I just finished watching "The End of Poverty" on www.netflix.com while drinking a mocha mocha crumble at the Starbux in Borders Books. IMF**K!! We're all living in a messed up system of separation, secrets and corporate criminal-ism held up/down by our own self soothing ignorance.  What happens in impoverished areas is deep set and too often un-salvageable, sorry to say. Pofolks are living/dying on less than the price of my coffee per month. There needs to be an accounting and an auditing of the crimes perpetrated by  the multi-national conglomerates in the name of neo-liberalism and global expansionism. You don't smash the locals for your own gain. Shell, Bechtel, New Dominion, Coke, United Fruit, Nestle, Reynolds Aluminum, Lipton etc. should begin programs that give back to the people whose land they land on. These practices are so old and departmentalized that the road to respect has been covered in ten meters of privilege. I saw it for myself in every country i have ever visited. It's everywhere. There are enough resources in the world to heal it. Dignity for all. Exit war. Health. Care. Garden. Party. Kill the bad or use it for fertilizer.

I went to the sticker designer and got him going on the first SNACTON product. I must coincide the delivery of the product with the launch of the monetized website.

I got the job at PRA and they are paying me $11.50 + commissions. Training starts on the 14th and I think that on the 12th i will ask Cabco if i can work on weekend/walk in only. Garret says that the average bonus check per month is $900 so $1200 would cover my entire nut for sho!
