I'd like to bag it up

I dare you to:

a pickle juice shot with a coffee chaser.
"It would be interesting to write a book about all the interesting people who come up here." Says Dan. He used to be regular on the 2nd and 3rd shift. He actually still is. The only difference is I don't work those shifts anymore.
Across the nation little old men sit at the counters in coffee shops and talk about cars and football and the old days. "Back when this coffee shop was a Steak and Shake."
The guys who have worked there since high school and never went to college lurk behind the counter. The old men fight about what happened in 1969. And one of those guys behind the counter over stuffs the napkin holders when no one is around, so when the old men slam their fists down on the counter in the middle of an argument napkins shoot across the room. And the guy behind the counter can get a good chuckle.

When the young twenty somethings file in around 9:30 and the shift is fixing to change, the old men leave. And the process starts all over again with younger more radical versions of them.
The guy behind the counter re-stuffs the napkin holders and waits for another victim.


Sometimes he fills his coffee cup with whiskey from the liquor store next door. And drinks all night long.
They pass the night along taking cigarette breaks with the regulars and talking about radical ideas. A mid thirty used to be school teacher who's had his heart broken past repair predicts another civil war. A very confused young man relays his women troubles and agrees that it's coming. They debate political views. The young confused boy fancies himself as Maoist and the ex-school teacher is a stern conservative.

Until the drunks come in and order massive amounts of food. Around 5:30 everyone leaves and morning shift takes over at 6.

She's Lump She's Lump: Free Writing

she's in my head..



Listening to old 90's tunes. Makes me a little nostalgic for when I was little. My mom got me a tiny little radio, back before radios came with cd players. It had a place for cassettes and I had a Randy Newman tape, B52's and The Backstreet Boys on tape.
I used to sit in my room and listen to the radio all day. 102.5, the pop station. They had Margin Maybe. She was a DJ. She used to come on and tell us the traffic report, but I didn't care because that wasn't my problem until much later. And I used to sing along to Alanis Morrisettes You Outa Know, never really understanding what it was about until I got older. And then there was the Spice Girls craze. I had a Baby Spice doll.
She came with a little doll of herself. We used to pretend to be them. Even the boys.
But they won't talk about that now.

Ok Go just keeps getting better

I got into Ok Go in high school freshman year, my best friend Christina and I found their website one day while we where just fooling around on the internet typing random stuff into google. And we came across A Million Ways to be cruel where they were dancing in their backyard. Since then they just get better and better and more creative. I hadn't heard anything for a while about them and I was wondering what happened to them and Lana sent me this on Face Book. I think it's quite brilliant honestly. Thank you OK Go for never disappointing. If you have the time you should definitely watch this
