"Turn on, tune in, drop out"

Holy cow! it's been a long time since the last time. And lot's has changed. Or at least some things??? Like the laundro mat is different, not renovated but different location altogether. I needed to change things up and the other place is going down the drain. Too many fingers in too many pies. They now offer computer repair, travel service and rent moving vans and trailers??? So needless to say the equipment doesn't get fixed anymore so i might as well move along.The new place is cleaner but the elderly asian owners lack any personality so the clothes go in and I go to the local coffee shop on the corner.Which is also across the street from a swimsuit store, that should make for some good viewing in the summer months.

But new and exciting things will be coming soon. As I have mentioned before I have a new laptop, so you can look forward to publishing direct from the laundro mat! As well, I'm working on a video blog that could be launched in the near future... possibly in real time? Which brings me to the archives which seem to be missing or misplaced? Never fear they are here. But in all the shuffling and changes they are temporarily unavailable. So "Turn on, tune in, drop out"

See ya real soon...

Not Ken Finkleman's Newsroom

Oh the joy that is American television...

I just happened to be channel fliping and saw the Newsroom was on. Well it was but it wasn't? You see what I was expecting was the Ken Finkleman series "The Newsroom" What I got was a completly different story, the news as reported by CNN. Which of late is mostly Wolf Blitzer with the "War this Week" or Larry King with guest host Mario Lopez (that itself could be a rant) interviewing Dancing with the Stars contestants. But instead they were running a "Best of Nancy Grace". I can't quite bring myself to watch it anymore than I could or would watch fatal car crashes. Ok, you caught me. Like a car crash I'd have to at least take a peek. And here are some of the Best of headlines:

men set fire to sex offenders home, killing wife

woman tries to sell 2 day old baby for 25K

pregnant woman killed, baby cut from mothers womb

There was even talk that the woman that sold the baby might have been consistantly having and selling babies for years? So I continued to surf channels and came across a commercial so bizarre that I really had to give my head a shake. I actually thought it was a spoof at first or at least hoped it was. I'll do my best to describe it.

husband and wife fighting on the couch over the TV remote, a commercial comes on the TV and they both look

Woman on TV: " last Christmas my husband served me divorce papers, that ruined my Christmas. After the holidays I saw So and So Attorney at Law and ruined his New Year.

Now don't get me wrong. I'm thankful that I have more than 4 channels to choose from when watching TV, but if this is what they choose to air then no thank you. Give me CBC and the Space channel and I'll download the rest. By the way does anyone know what Finkleman is doing now???

The Monkey

THE MONKEY

can you spare some change ?

give it to the junky

give your money to the monkey

you won’t get the monkey off his back

but at least he’ll get some smack

can you spare some change?

He’s not trying to change

but don’t think he won’t , not ever

cause you can’t be a junky forever

he’s looking for a place to sleep

and when he gone you won’t care

can you spare some change?

On the corner, in a doorway

sitting , begging got a quarter got a buck

you look, you think you wasted fuck

well did you give your money to the junky

or did you rob the monkey

walking fast head held high , you look the other way

don’t feel bad, and don’t feel guilty

if it’s not the message you want to send

cause there’s one or two or ten just around the bend

can you spare some change?

Just give it to the monkey

Going through the archives

Once again I have been absent for far too long. I have gone back and found many written but not published chronicles. So please excuse the lateness of this blog and it's aparent timing (which you'll notice if your a hockey fan).

I waited a long time, maybe too long. I almost ran out of clean clothes completely. I must say there are a few hotties out tonight. A couple headed into this sushi joint across the road. I wish I could eat the stuff but it makes me gag. And another one just made her way into the laundro-mat and two more just crossed the street! It’s almost like summer but no bikini’s or short shorts. Ah but every season has it’s fashion, I suppose that we have cooler weather to thank for the sweater girl?

I’ll have to make this a quick one tonight because I came without any focus supplies or booze to smooth out my coffee. I know poor planning on my part but I did hit the Jack Daniels pretty hard last night and I am fighting off a cold so it might not be to bad. But there goes my timer, time to switch loads.

Ok it’s in the dryer now and I don’t have much time left. You see the hockey season has started and I got caught watching instead of writing. And it’ not even my team? I joined a hockey pool this year and that means you gotta keep an eye on everything. You see I picked a goaltender that looks like he’ll be backing up all season so he’ll not likely get me any points to speak of so…. Who do I trade for? Well time to fold now and keep an eye out for the sweezle cause I’m still missing socks.

Poll Question

All right, laundry day is here again and we have a smokin hot chick in those tight yoga pants. She seems to have a male escort so I'll have to hang back. And really what am I saying, I don't actually go up to all these chicks I see at the laundro mat anyways. Maybe I should, but I don't.

Just had a chat with the guy at the coffee shop. His wife called a repairman to fix the coffee machine and thinks he should do that after paying $180 for an hour and a half. He says not everybody can be rich so I'll just make coffee. He made me a good cup of coffee and asked if I wanted cream, I said no but leave some room. He was confused about that, I mean who doesn't fill up their cup? I was going to show him my flask, maybe later. I really juiced this one up. 4oz in a 20oz cup. Oh yeah. Well time to switch maybe I'll see if I can get a focus partner between cycles?

Well no focus partner but a few more hotties went by that I didn't talk to and another one inside and they all seem to be wearing those damn yoga pants. I’m not complaining and I don't want to sound like a broken record. Because I have written about this before. But damn it I like those pants. So shall I make it a new years resolution to talk to all these beautiful women in tight pants? Let's make it a poll question. Do I or do I not make a point of actually meeting these women, or maintain the status quo and continue to admire them from afar? Ok that sounded kinda stalkerish. But you know what I mean, or do you?

My 7oz Conveyance

Damn it's cold out tonight. I might have to move inside if the coffee doesn't kick in soon. Could probably use some more Jack Daniels but I'll tough it out or take shots from my new flask. Yup, got a new one. It was my Christmas present to myself. This one is also bigger than the last one so it could make for more exciting outings. Ok, I just went for it, two good pulls and I'm warming up already. But it makes you smoke more. That cigar smoke chaser just can't be beat.

Wow, a friend of mine just stopped by for a focus break. She was actually coming back from another laundro mat. That could be some Star Trek parallel universe episode. Every series has done it at least once. So we chatted a bit. I noticed that she had her hair done. I said it looked good so bonus points for me. And then hot chick one after another came cruising up and down the street. Which she commented on more than I. And of course I didn't deny their presence. And when I went in to switch machines there were more. But it was also way busier. So I'm glad for the solace of the cold outdoors with my Jack and my cigar. My living room would almost be better but would definitely lack the view.

Happy New Year!!!

I bet you thought you saw the last of me, eh? It looks like I've taken a 3 month hiatus, but not really. You see the chronciles are written every week or so I just have a hell of a time typing it down. You see I'm still old school, pen and paper, no lap top for me. And really, I don't think a lap top would work. Now if there was some dictation type device... I could probably get down with that but then you'd probably drop this blog altogether?

Enough of that, I thought I might start the year off with a poem. Not a new one, actually it was probably written circa my last post, well here it goes.

I walked into the same old coffee shop

and the same old war was on TV

and thinking, is the whole world going to the toilet

Oh hell, we could already be there

and then I thought of all the girls I've loved before

Oh hell

but then i thought of all the girls I've yet to love

and maybe it's not such a bad world

Sweezle

Wow, back at the laundro mat. I tried another place last week and I didn’t really like it. Kinda lacked the atmosphere of the “Gold Coin”. Today all the women seem to be escorted by boyfriends, husbands and kids… and yes it’s colder out and the coats and sweaters have come out of the closet. As for me I’m kinda toasty, had a double focus break before I left then got a coffee and had one of those airline bottles of Bailey’s to throw in there. Ya I could easily be on the couch vegging out. But no, I’ve damn laundry to do. It’ll soon be time to switch loads, I hope I find more socks?

I’m back, only 25-20min till the dryer check but I used the extractor so that’s most likely what it’ll need. Looks like bbq parties will be a thing of the past soon. That means moving it inside. My place is small maybe someone else can host for awhile. There’ve been a few cops in the hood tonight I wonder what the hubbub is about. Probably nothing but there was a lot of helicopter action a few days ago? Which could mean the search for grow op’s continues. Well it’s almost time for the old sock hunt to begin. I wonder if they have those sweezle things here?

Abbreviation

An Asian in a festiva parks in front, mere inches from the bumper of an expedition. Pause, yes two hotties just walked by. In little summer dresses. Ah I love summer.I also am feeling the effects of my focus break and the gin and juice. And all of a sudden the story about the festiva and the expedition doesn’t seem that interesting anymore. And I’m a little disappointed. See I thought I’d have a lab partner for the lone sock experiment. But something happened, I hope she’s ok. Maybe later
