i think that's all for now. i haven't been blogging much lately cause i've been super busy with work but everything is awesome. i'll find some time later to write something interesting. apparently one of the best coffee comes from the beans in the feces of a bat? i heard that at work today. i'm investigating.

so last night I went to pay for the parking spot I found downtown. the man renting it out name is joe and he's about 70 and from portugal. the first time i called him i almost couldn't contain myself because he sounded exactly like Latka, one of andy kaufmans characters. everything was ended in "thankyouvellymuch!" so i went to his place to make the drop and we ended up having coffee to "celebrate". we ended up talking for about an hour or so just about whatever. well, he kinda gave me his life story. we talked about work and how government jobs are some of the best jobs to get. he told me about when he stopped going to school when he was little and no one encouraged him to go back and when he did want to, he couldn't or else he would have been fired. more so then, education was power so employers wouldn't happily let you take a couple hours and smarten up in fear that you would leave them shortly after. he told me about how he cheated to become a driver for the military and took notes on his arm listening to the people that actually knew what they were talking about, which lead him to make tons of money because nobody else really had a drivers license. he had tons of stories and i'm sure he has tons more. what an interesting man. i think he plays chess so i just may have a new chess buddy.
the other day i was talking to my friend mike about all the music on our computers that have zero plays. basically what happens is someone says "Hey, do you have this?" or you say "Hey, what's is this? Can I have it?" then you take it, save it, and forget about it. we both have gigs and gigs of unlistened music. i have a SO much. not that i don't now what it is or haven't heard it, well, some of it, but i just haven't taken the time to listen to it. i've been too busy listening to the new music that comes around. last night i started going through all the "0" plays and EFF!, radiohead - the bends is SO GOOD. i think it's their best album and can't believe that i've neglected it for so long. if you don't know it, check it out. you won't be disappointed. in the meantime, check out this video from a track on the album. love it! (OK Computer is really awesome, too)
fyi, i put it "there." if you know me, and you know where "there" is, pick it up. DING!
so at camp stickers litter the top of every ramp. it's a very tedious job and at times painful (at 12pm in the middle of the summer). sometimes you do things to keep yourself sane or just to break the repetition. one day, ross says "Hey! There's an upside-down sticker in the cage. Bet you can't find it!" i looked long and hard and eventually found it. it wasn't even a full sticker. just the end bit of one. i remember during the summer telling other people about the upside-down sticker and few ever found it on their own. with the amount of blinding, blending stickers, no one would probably ever knowingly come across it.
every time i read an article about voting on same-sex marriage, i get heated. now, everyone is entitled to an opinion and that's completely fine, i have no problem with that. the problem i have is the fact that there is voting on the subject of what homosexuals choose to do. how is it fair to vote on something that ultimately controls the lives of people that are really doing something that's relatively normal, that doesn't concern or bother anyone? 2 people, getting married. people do it everyday. i know there are people that don't agree with 2 people of the same sex being in a relationship, whether it's religious and/or just a personal opinion. but i really find it ridiculous that anyone can vote on the fate of a group of people, especially when there's no real harm being done. when you have 2 people in a homosexual relationship, are they committing a crime? when they get together, do they increase air pollution? are people killed? cars stolen? nuclear bombs created? do the lives of every canadian and or american shortened or altered somehow? didn't think so. would you vote against black people getting married? or australians? interracial couples? or people over 50? or paraplegics? didn't think so.
so, butt-out and let homosexuals live. period. people have rights. you can't take them away because they have a different sexual preference than you. i thought we were supposed to be moving forward in time, not backward.
i watch 60 minutes all the time and i have to credit part of that to ed bradley. first i noticed that he looked almost identical to my dad. Then the more I watched, the more interested i became with the show. what a sad day.
i have told so many people about this dude and i've always got the same response "mmm hmmmm! likely." "whatever!" "yeah, ok!" FINALLY i have some video evidence. unbelievable. hilarious, and unbelievable.
