As time moves on

So, the job search is going fairly decently. I must say, Richard's music is my most hopeful of the possibilities (which rings my jangle just dandy).

As soon as I get a job, I'm going to get money. As soon as I get the money, I'm moving out.

If anyone knows of any good apartment deals around the Holland area, that would be ideal.

I've got a feeling that I'll be moving out by myself. It's ok, just a lot more expensive. Bummer. And yet, Yay!

I have very little of interest to post about. At least not to all you people! You crazies!

Too Sexy for my Muthafuckin' Self

Bone Thugs 'n harmony; check them out. I'm glad that there are groups that I like out of types of music that I "do not like." Bone Thugs is some of the best rap I've heard; keeping to what I believe is the roots of rap, using the human voice and language as another rhythmic instrument. Rock on. Joining the company of Busta Rhymes, Spearhead, Eminem, and that guy who does that song . . . man, that's a good one.

That's it, I'm boozed up.

For what may been the final post on this subject for a while (the horse is dying my friends), I reviewed your comments and I think that they're all (by 'all' I mean, 'most') very helpful.

However, I've noticed that in a lot of the calculating about this not-so-hypothetical Situation, there's just that, a lot of Calculating. In my experience, Thinking too much about something you'd like to do always ensures that it doesn't get done.

While I do like the "let's get familiar" approach, I think, given the nature of the setting of the restaurant, Jason's suggestion takes the cake. If you're in a Situation which doesn't allow for much small talk, the direct approach may be best.

It's flattering if you mean it. So shall it be done.

Paradigm shift needed, apply within

Ok, you guys are full of it.

Let's all face it, unless a waiter/waitress makes an obvious move that they're interested in you, it's pretty much impossible to land a date with one. Now, we've all seen it in the movies, but I've never seen it in real life.

I mean, what the hell would you even say!? save the "ah duhhhh's" and throat clearings.

The point is, there's no common ground to start with in such a situation, nothing to spark interest and bring defenses a bit lower.

What I think is, I think that even if the waiter/waitress is attracted to you, the mere attempt at picking them up at work is a turn-off.

However, I must say, if I were a waiter and some cute little number asked me out, I'd most likely go for it. Which then my next automatic conclusion is that I'm not this hot-little-number.
Could it be that it's not me, it's them?

Stuff it. I am a social cripple, forever attracted to people that I cannot have.

Can we get funtional here, people?

How do you establish common ground with a perfect stranger when they're working?

answer: I don't.

mild movie review

I saw The Manchurian Candidate Thursday. I highly recommend it (coming from someone who finds it a rare occasion that he walks away from the theater thinking he hasn't wasted $$).

It is not at all what I thought it would be, and much of the "good stuff" was not overdone. This is one I recommend seeing in the theaters, and, depending on your partner, might be a good date movie (you do have to actually watch the movie, though).

Made up a new lick on my guitar, but it seems that there's something in my genes that is opposed to writing lyrics. I have a few licks ready for some lyrics, but I don't seem to want to write any.

Anybody got lyrics? Ahem, good lyrics?


I am still boggled by the waitress-asking-out-dilemma. Perplexing.
