So I used the term "post daily" very loosely on my last post. I am certain that I will only be posting Monday through Friday, since my job consumes my entire weekend along with mid-afternoon naps and trying to stay out of the house besides said naps. But the Monday posts are always full of ridiculousness because of the three different environments that I DJ at around the city. A college bar, a third ward bar, and a ghetto club. It seems all these characters line up to be on this blog, flaunting themselves with no shame, not caring how badly I may make fun of them. They may be secure with themselves, or they may be confident. But I know that if you appear on here, and you know I am refering to you, the feeling of embarrassment may seep into your veins like ecto slime. People have denied it before, but it's just like picking your nose: everyone does it. Here we go:
1) I forgot to mention that at the brewer game, there was a ticket checker in the lower level section that took her job very seriously. I have never seen someone take a $6.50 an hour job this way. There was no way that anyone could get past her without getting their ticket checked. Even if she saw them leave to get a hot dog or something, and they returned within a matter of minutes, she would still check it. It was as if her brain became a blank slate every ten seconds. Actually like "10 second Tom" from 50 First Dates. "Hi! My name is Tom!" "Hi! I'm a stupid idiot ticket checker with no life! And I'm ugly as hell!"
There were also people that had things in their hands (beers, nachos, dildos, etc...) and she made them put all their stuff in one arm so she could check their ticket. I found this to be over the top. A line would form because she wouldn't let anyone past her. All these poor people, missing the excitement of the game, doing the "pee dance" in line just waiting to get back to their uncomfortable seats, watching their all holy cheese fries in a helmet getting ice cold, upset seeing all the high fives and rejoicing happening in their section. "I wanna high five dudes and slap asses saying 'good game' too" is what everyone was thinking. I saw this and felt for these people. So my plan next time is:
Purchase a lower level ticket
Purchase 4 beers and carry them WITHOUT a drink caddy
Stuff ticket down the front of my pants
Wait for a large line to form in front of the ticket checker
Approach her, tell her my ticket is in the front of my pants and I have no way of reaching it unless she gets it herself
As soon as she refuses, ask her to hold my ALCOHOLIC beverage while I get the ticket
Have a friend snap a shot of her holding a beer and send it to Food and Beverage Manager of the stadium
Fired! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
2) A girl was sitting at the bar completely hammered drunk. She dropped something out of her purse, and being the nice Saint James that I am, I went to pick it up. I picked it up, puzzled, and said, "Um here. You dropped your bottle of lube."
She replied, "Oh thank you! That could've caused some problems later, hey? Haha."
She resumed drinking like nothing happened. That's the last time I do anything Saint-like. If someone drops their phone on the ground I'll say, "You dropped your device for making and receiving calls...BITCH!"
3) Some girl at the bar got up to go to the bathroom and started to pass out mid-walk. Someone caught her right before she hit the floor, saving her a broken nose (because dignity was not save-able at that point). Anothe guy ran up to her friend and said to him, "Dude, your girl is falling over passing out. Literally!" He ran to her rescue, and carried her out of the bar with her feet dragging against the ground. I wish I was that classy.
4) I was at a red light waiting to turn left. There were a few people on the other side of the street waiting to cross. I thought that I could beat them out as I usually do, but I remembered that I was downtown and the walk sign always appears before the light turns green. So all these assholes got a head start, and I had to wait. But then I saw them start to form a single file line! It's like they heard what I was thinking and communicated with eachother via osmosis to form a line to piss me off. There were only 6 of them, but the rate at whcih they walked was slower than molasses. I then saw a glacier float by past them, Then a family of turtles who started after them crossed and entered the nearby fountain. It was an eternity that I waited, and have now subjected my head to happy thoughts at stop lights so noone can read my thoughts. Rainbows and Unicorns are all I can think of now. Bastards.
It's cold out. Fall is the worst season ever. Worse than winter.
Yeah. I went there.
