Take me out to the ballpark....

Don't ya just love that pic? There's nothing quite like a day at the ballpark. Not for me. Except for the Demon-Spawn's pee-wee league games, I hate it! I'm not a sports person - except for the king of sports - wrestling (of course!)... But none of that has anything to do with anything.

I just wanted to get in here for a few minutes and do some quick updating on my boring life. I worked Wed. night - in B.'s place. And last night - that was my shift. And now, I only have four more nights of hell before I get my (alleged) day off. This is gonna be a long weekend.

Had a bum locked up last night. Well, it was just Floyd - the local town crazy guy. He's not supposed to step foot on our store's property in any way, shape, or form. He scares the customers and tries to bum money and cigs out in the parking lot. He showed up last night - I called the law as soon as I sw him out in the parking lot - and Laurinburg's finest showed up - slapped the handcuffs on him, and carried him away. I hate doing that - sometimes... but in Floyd's case - he's been warned more times that I can count - I'va had him locked up before - and he keeps coming back. As long as he keeps coming back - he'll keep getting locked up. A vicious cycle - but I've got no choice.

I found out where BJ is... and why he hasn't been up to the store lately. Speaking of getting locked up..lol. I talked to a lady who works at the county jail ---- and BJ is currently in custody. A B.S. charge - trespassing and loitering. That mouth always gets him in trouble.. and it has again. I feel sorry for the guy though. He has no family. His dad is dead. His brother is dead - and was killed by his other brother - who's currently doing long-term prison time. His Mama is crazy and (so I've heard from others who know the situation) - gets and blows BJ's "crazy check" every month - but won't allow him in her house. She wants the money - but doesn't give a fuck about her kid. He's got no home - no place to stay - and gets by as best he can. The little bit of money I give him for helping me out at work is all the money he gets. I've heard that his Mom will ocasionally give him $20 here and there to make him stay away - but hell, the check he gets is close to $900 a month. What about the rest of it?

I feel sorry for the boy. The lady at the jail filled me in on most of that - and I've heard the rest by asking around with folks that know BJ. I've been warned that he'll steal, but he hasn't stepped a bit out of line around me at the store - and I've been watching carefully. He works and will do anything to earn money - and then spends it right back at the store for chips, drinks, etc. Hell, if I didn't have any income or a place to live - I'd steal too to survive. You do what you've gotta. But I'd rather work and earn my keep - and he seems the same way. If I had a place for him, I'd let him come stay with me - but since I'm living here at the mother-figure's - I can't do it! I've got a friend who works at DSS - she's an ex-sheriff's deputy who used to hang out with me at the store when she worked night-shift - and I've called her to see about trying to get BJ set up with an apt. and some kind of work - get him some help. She asked if I'd be willing to assume guardianship if it becomes necessary. He's 24 years old - so I don't know about all that - but I do want to help the guy get straight. He's a special dude and deserves far better than the hands that life has dealt him so far. I'll update this as I know more.

To think - I just wanted a sexy piece of ass - and I may end up with a son of sorts...lol. Life is so fuckin' strange...

Anything else? Oh yeah - Chris came by this morning. He was in the neighborhood and decided to stop by. We're still "friends" - although I don't really have much use for him these days. He stopped by... but D. was already here. We were watching "Dude, Where's My Car"... Love that movie...lol. Chris came in and was just talking - and rambling about this and that. No big deal. D. was really cool - he just listened - and subtly slid up next to me and grabbed hold of my hand. Yep! The straight boy held my hand while my ex was there visiting. The look on Chris's face was priceless. He made some excuses and left. I asked D. - whassup wit dat? He just said, calm as can be, "I just wanted to piss him off! He's an asshole!" All righty then! Mission accomplished! As far as my relationship with D. goes - it's just friendship - nothing more. We had a semi-serious talk early this morning and ....

Ooops! Gotta go! Tatz is here and we're going chinese.... Later gator!
