....now wait just a minute

All I need is for a certain 'special' some one to give me a call, and I will come running. No, she has to come pick me up, LOL. I promise I will have on nothing but shorts a shirt, and flip flops. Lights out, nice and cool. I wanna hear that special sound you make. I wanna feel that special move you make. For me, its been a looong time, no lie. I'm off Saturday, hook a brudda up, text, don't call........waitin'

On onw of the hotttest days so far this summer, I come home ro a blazing, steamy hot ass apartment. I looked, and the key word here is 'looked'. I looked forwatd to jumoping in the shower, washing the sweat from the 8 minute walk from work off. The, with only my towel wrapped around me, and still half way dried off, turn on my fan, turn on tv, turn on dvd, and last episode 8 of the final season of lost. But nooooooo, 15 minutes into the show, the tv flickered off, and then back on in less than a second. Oh shit, this isn't a good sign. I marked it off as a power surge cause its hot, but into the 9 episode, the tv flick again..off, and STAYED THAT FUCKIN' WAY!!! WHAT THE FLYING FUCK is going on? I wasn't going downstairs to talk to the owner of the house about this shit, not my responsibility, nope its not. My house mate, she did. The son came upstairs, looked at the breaker box, and told us, he has to get the tools will be out of power for an hour. But he did come b...

About a week ago, I sent out my resume to about 15 different companies. I want to help clean up this mess on our beaches...but get paid for it. Received 5 emails, and 3 phone calls from some of the companies. I think 2 of them, I didn't even apply for, but here is how this job works. Pay is anywhere from 300 to 400 a day, yep, that's right, A DAY. First there is a weeks worth of training, you have to have your certificates in order. If you don't have any, that's what the training is for. There are 3 different locations you can work. One, on the beach. 2, collecting what you clean up from on the beach. 3, processing what you pick up. From what I gather, turnover rate is crazy high, meaning, people work for about 4 to 6 weeks, get a little bit of pocket money, and then quit. I was told that I could make supervisor in about 2 months and then the pay is about 700 a week. 110 dollars out of your check a week goes towards you room, which you share in a 2 bed hotel room, all ...

In the 1960's, the remaining service of the Third Ave El was renamed the 8 (or #8). The final portion of the line that ran from East 149th Street in the Bronx to Gun Hill Road closed in April, 1973. On April 29, 1973, the Bx 55 Limited bus route replaced the Bronx's Third Avenue El. It only made the stops of the former rail line. The Bx 55 was one of the first bus routes in the city to have free transfers with the subway at the Third Ave-149th Street and Gun Hill Road White Plains Road IRT stations.

Today at work, I thought about some things. Mainly, I wanted to just get up and go. Don't know where, but just go. Sometimes, when you are stuck in a rut, the only way to get out of it without any help, is own your own. I have felt like this before, and I did nothing about it. The feeling pasted after about 2 or 3 days, so it was no biggie. But this time its different, feels different. I want to go somewhere, start over, fresh. I know, I know. I'm 50 years old, forget about that starting over fresh madness. But that's what I feel. I mean, go some where where no one knows me. I was thinking about the mid west, but haven't picked a city or a state. Gonna think about it some more, stay tuned. --michaelchappell
