... I'll be at the Roseland Ballroom. Concert starts at 8:00 PM. I hope to have a kick-ass time.
Matt says that maybe, just maybe, some girl will try to hook up with me there. Riiight. A soused Irish lass with a penchant for Jameson and short, geeky Asian guys.
I'm most likely not going to consume much alcohol. I won't be, to paraphrase a line from a Pogues song, a drunken fuck on a Friday night. I'll probably end up having just one beer. And should I have that beer, it'll be before the concert because I'm not paying nine dollars for one at the Ballroom.
One beer at the concert would cost me more than I make per hour at my current occupation, sad as that is.
I was informed that in a less economically strapped year, I would've been granted a small raise. Gee, without that extra six or so cents an hour, I won't be able to make a down payment on the Bugatti Veyron, the most expensive car in the world. Guess I'm going to have to settle for the Pagani Zonda C12 F, number two on the list. How humiliating.
Woe is Vince.
Harsh economic times we're living in. I do hope that I won't ever be standing in the subway singing "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" to passersby.
And the Song of the Day is "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?", the Tom Waits version:
I'm sarcastic and sentimental. And I'm feeling all right. :)
THINGS PEOPLE HAVE SAID AND WRITTEN TO AND ABOUT VINCE
"Since you're being a little shit, I'm going to be a shit too."
"YOU KNOW WHAT? You can call up the rest of these orders yourself! And if you have anything smart to say, I'M SENDING YOU HOME!"
"The fuck's wrong with you?"
"i agree with bill [that Vince is not a dickhead], unless by 'dickhead' you mean 'head that looks like a dick.'"
"You're a devil."
"... that little black kid ..."
" 'Vince for the love of God, just send me messages about anything else other than work. Your a good guy, but please leave work at work. Your Boss'. "
(A good way of killing boredom is doing surveys on social networking sites. Several weeks back a friend said that if you volunteered your name, she would:
1. respond with something random about you. 2. tell you which song or movie you remind me of. 3. say something that only makes sense to you and me. 4. tell you my first memory of you. 5. tell you what animal you remind me of. or thing. 6. ask you something I've always wondered about you. 7. tell you my favorite thing about you. 8. tell you my least favorite thing about you."
So I volunteered to hear the truth about myself. And her answers are below)
"1 -- you're one of the few people i can joke with about not knowing anything and i WON'T get offended. 2 -- song: The Pogues. anything by them lmao and movie: anything with Heath Ledger because you insist on making fun of me for being in love with a dead person. 3 -- morlocks and circus folk =D LMAO 4 -- when you first started working at The Store and you said you knew everything about movies ever, and i was like "oh great, who's this asshole that i have to hate now?" but that has totally changed cuz you're the best, cousin. 5 -- GIZMO =] hahaha that's matt's fault, tho. 6 -- wat do you do when you're not at The Store you kno just about everything about me, yet i have no clue wat you do for fun. 7 -- if i'm having a bad day or i'm in a bad mood, you do your best to cheer me up, and it works just about every time =] 8 -- you don't realize just how fucking cool you are."
