Bar Attendees and Waitress Relations 101
Working in a bar I have found that there is a code of conduct in regards to who you buy your drinks from that directly relates to where you are located in the bar. (This lesson will focus on buying drinks at table vs at the bar.) I had no idea and i know that a lot of my customers don’t seem to either. Follow these instructions and your waitress’ will love you as customers and...

To me, this has so much potential.
Neat!
Most profitable 20 min ever.
So i’m finishing up my things at the end of the night and getting ready to leave work. A guy comes up to me and the waitress next to me and says that we look tired it looks like we’ve had a long night. We reply things to the effect of it wasn’t so bad but we’re ready to get out of here. He throws a $50 on the bar and says he makes a lot money we deserve to have a good...
this morning
fiftywords:
It was this morning. I saw a world. I saw a sky. I saw a crowd of faces. I saw a stone statue touching heaven. I saw a man raise one hand and lay the other. I saw a reflecting pool. I saw me. I saw you. Just this morning.
Ode to Snooze Buttons
I love them. I love that nope, sorry, i’m gonna go back to sleep feeling. If i know i have nothing to do the next morning i will set my alarm an hour before i want to get up and just keep hitting snooze for an hour. And maybe go for a second hour. Those five seconds of knowing that you’re about to fall back asleep is one of the happiest repeated moments of my life. After an hour...
Discovering
that i actually have to go to work at 4:00 instead of 7:00 has put a serious dent in my laying in bed and reading all day.

Yes.
One bag of chamomile tea left. Hopefully enough to get me to sleep.
25. Off the Road by Carolyn Cassady: My Years...
A book I remember being one of my favorites when i read it years ago, maybe not that so much anymore, but still amazing. Carolyn Cassady is wife to Neal Cassady (or Dean Moriarty for those more familiar with On the Road). She also has an open affair with Jack Kerouac that lasts most of their lives.
Her’s is the tale of those that weren’t invited to ride in the car and had to stay...
This is for the hood-rat in the back.

Desperately Seeking Susan
Read an article on Susan Sontag today in Time Magazine. I’ve read On Photography before. But i’ve never known very much about her personal life. A book of her notebooks and journals has just been published titled Reborn and i need to acquire it very soon. There is a rare quatily that i find in women once in a great while that make me idolize them (there are only 4 on the list). I...
Truely, what is too foolish to be said is sung.

Revolutionary
“It is not enough for an individual to be loved and accepted by others, to be “adjusted” to his culture. He must take his existence seriously enough to make his own commitment to life, and to the future: he forfeits his existence by failing to fulfill his entire being.”
-The Feminine Mystique
I just saw Revolutionary Road. I’m still in awe. Also, so very...
The Accordion
ladyberlin:
In general, I like my clothes on. Especially, in public. However, as I have come to learn in Germany….there is an art to the well loved sport of communal nudity. For instance, one must choose wisely which patch of grass to display their goods on. In summer, our city parks are filled with what I affectionately call “Penis Pastures”. To a foreigner this is a strange and arresting...
