Mmmmm! Things Go Better With Coke...

Busy night at the work-hole last night. BJ was there - but he's getting to be slack. He wants $$$ - but he doesn't want to work for it. He does the 1/2 ass work anyhow - so I guess I'll have to get tough. Either shape up or ship out.

Thought about the lust thing again last night - and BJ just won't cut it. He's OK, but the cleanliness factor is going to be a problem. He's downright nasty - and I don't think just a shower will do it. He still makes me laugh - and I like the kid, but he needs someone to look after him and make him do certain things - and I'm just not the one looking for that stuff.

He's got a friend that's been coming to the store with him - short & sexy little man named Ruiz.... I could wrap my lips around that in a heartbeat. Yumm!

Did the family thing today. Tatz made Indian Tacos - good stuff, but very messy. We did the BD thingee for Morgan before she & Andrew took off for the beach for the rest of the weekend. Fun afternoon. Found out lots of family news. Crystal is smoking now.. and is doing it in front of her Mom. The full rebellion thing is kicking hard. She's a lesbian. She's smoking. She's staying out to the wee hours of the morning. The girl needs a job. It looks more and more though that Uncle Ken (Tian's ex) is going to be able to get her on at St. Andrews College working at the horse farm. And then, her education at St. Andrews is free for so long as she's employeed. This will all probably kick in during the Winter quarter. The only downside is that freshmen are required to live on campus for the 1rst year. Crystal is generally pretty responsible, but when she gets a taste of dorm life at St. Andrews - expect her to cut loose and go wild for a bit.

Parker was "on" today and funny as heck. The boy needed to be the center of attention and everyone was willing to oblige. I'm getting my yard mowed someday this week when Parker doesn't have to do the football practice (or "foozball" as Mama from "The Water Boy" would say!) He wants to go to Hooters to check out the breasts.. and also wants to go get a lap dance. What! The boy is 15 - and I think the hormones are raging hard. We had the talk about "wrapping it up" and "NO babies"... I guess the next step is a good fake ID for clubbing and meeting the hoochie-mama's and chicken-heads. NOT! There's too much bad shit out there, especially around here. And he's ready to dive straight into it. I knew this day was coming eventually, but now that it's here, can my nerves and position as the "Good Uncle" handle it? Geez!

Found out that Ray (my ex-bossguy and landlord) is getting the gastric bypass surgery. That's great for him. Ray easily weighs 380 - 400 lbs... and every time I see him, he's getting bigger. He deals with everything in life by eating. He's had a hell of a rough life over the past 8 - 9 years - and handled things in his own way. And now, he has to suffer the consequences of that. Good luck, Raeford.

Anything else? G. asked to borrow money - I said no. Tomorrow is the family day thingee again. Tatz is fixing a turkey (in the middle of August?) - and I've been instructed to do the baked beans thingee. So that's cool. I'll do that in the AM. I also want to get a new column up. I have it 0utlined and know what I want to rant about, but I just haven't taken the time yet. Maybe tomorrow while my stuff is cooking.

Talked to D. for a couple of minutes today... on the phone. Very short conversation. I think he's getting a hard time about hanging out so often with me and wants to slow things down and back off a bit. That's cool. I like him, but there are too many fish in the sea to worry about one guy. I think we'll be friends for a while, but it's going to be getting a bit more casual for the time being.

I miss TMA. I miss Brent. I miss Marsh. I miss Greg. I miss Russ. I saw Chris yesterday. I don't miss him.
Ha! Lad came by the store last night and said something about going catfishing later this month - he and Chad and the kids. I guess I can take Parker and make it a family thingee. That is, if I'm not working. I probably am, but who knows for sure? Not I? Not until the schedule for that week comes out.. and sometimes, not even then. I think I'm "thinking outside the bun" too much these days. Thanks a lot, Suzie Q... lol. Love ya though!

And Ma is home, so I'm outta here. Until we meet again..
