I got together with Chris and Ryan today to rehearse. That was good. It could have been better had I not had to work last night. I had nobody in the bar at around 1:15 and then this guy came in and drank two beers that lasted him until 4:15. He was sloshed by the end because he had already had a lot to drink prior to the whole thing. Nice guy. Really wanted to talk religion and philosophy though. My only problem with talking religion as a bartender (when no one else is in the bar to get annoyed) is that I don’t want to offend this person who is paying my wage.
Regardless, Louie (my visitor last night) was a nice man, and religion only consumed 2/3 of our conversation, so there was a full 1/3 where we had truly interesting discussion about a host of subjects (life, love, work, death). Louie (age 44) talked about the women he met and dated when he was younger and how they were better women than he realized then, wishes he could do it over again and hold onto some of those women which of course is impossible because you can’t step in the same stream twice. It made me think about my current and past affairs. I’m happy with where I am.
Also there was this lady that came in and ordered a Black Russian a couple hours before him. I made it. I charged her. She proceeded to bitch about the price for the next 1/2 hour to the old man beside her when I stopped listening and walked to the other end of the bar. Finally she stopped when I threw a glass at her face, shouted, “I don’t control the prices Bitch!” and tossed her out on her ass in the sub freezing windy night in the East Village. Then I woke up. She was still whining.

7 Things
January 3rd, 2008 by Luke
So a friend of mine named Tone sent out an email to an email list I belong to. Basically the email originally started from a guy’s blog: it’s the blog of a man who’s recording the last days of his life. check it out…
here
On his blog the guy shared seven random or weird things about himself. The point was for other blogs to follow suit. I was bored and decided to do it also. I suppose my “random or weird” things are really just 7 neuroses, but oh well…
1) I like looking at ugly people. The uglier the better. they have far more interesting differences from everyone else than attractive people. I am also always paranoid that the ugly people at which I am staring will think that I am interested in them romantically.
2) I don’t like talking on the phone, but I prefer actual human interaction to it…not texting or IMing or anything digital. That shit takes too long and drags out conversations to a point where they are exponentially longer. I suck it up. Most of my friends prefer texting to calling. this can bother me (see #7).
3) I think everything (and I mean everything) has a time and a place.
4) I’m really terrified of someone actually getting close to me and because of this I don’t think anyone really is. If everybody I knew got together and talked they’d have a good start, but I can safely assume that that will never happen.
5) I have anxiety attacks sometimes late at night, and I get up and smoke to while away the hours.
6) I can’t sleep with someone else in my bed. I generally don’t play well with others, and if I am playing well with others, things are either going exceptionally well or I am really really annoyed and just masking it.
7) Disorder and inefficiency (once spotted) clouds my brain and frustrates me to a level that I have a hard time thinking.
