[ Place Title Here ]

If inspiration can come from anywhere, uninspired days provide... nothing. Well ok, maybe they can provide some minor amusement when you're thinking the day terrible. Like when I was in high school, one of my best friends and I used to walk through school bored to tears. Then next thing we know, one of our friends stole the hat of another friend and we were witness to five minutes of live-action Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote antics. Sadly, nobody ever fell off the side of a mountain to the sound effect of a whistle. The expression though on the face of he whose hat got stolen was often near pathetic as the Coyote when holding up a picket sign.


Talk about having too much to eat!

Days like those don't happen much anymore. I'm mostly so busy that the day just passes by and before I know it, its Thursday when I watch Big Bang Theory or Friday when WWE Smackdown is on. Yay! I don't even miss being bored much except that those were days I went to my Dad's shop and endlessly harassed him in between looking at porno mags.
He was an easy target. We'd walk in and usually he had a customer in his barber chair. Perfect time to ask for money. So I'd score a few bucks and mouth off knowing he couldn't look bad in front of the customer. I was thereby king amongst my friends. Boy did I hear about it though when I came back and he was alone. Lets just say his torturous teasing of me after is probably why I can talk to everyone from rock stars, businessmen and varying celebs with a similar thick skin.

(Sigh) ah, family.
