an interesting night...

weird night tonight. for christmas, my sister-in-law gave me 15 bucks in hastings gift-cards (second most thoughtful gift of this Christmas, behind only Adri walking me through the store and allowing me to pick out 2 cds: american idiot and good news for people who love bad news) anyway, i had some weird realizations.

first thing, i dress like a slob most of the time. for a guy who has a great job and a caring wife, i am a slobby mother fucker in public. for work i am pretty snazzy, i think. i wear a tie 3-4 times a week. anyway, i ran into my friend vanessa and she actually looked me over when she said hi. and it wasnt a come on. i think she thought "what a fucking bum"

second, i may be getting too old to go into a cd/bookstore. i was pawing through the shins albums, trying to find a used copy of the other one (not "chutes too narro), and some chick who was dressed like (the fat daughter, i forget her name) osbourne walked up with a dude with 2 types of hair color, wearing a belt made of empty shell casings, walked up and basically ripped a cd out of my hand. sure, i handed it to her, but she basically forced me to, by sighing and whining to her puny-ass boyfriend. i wanted to vomit. i handed her the cd and went to the book section.

third, i am becoming an old man. as i was walking out of the music section, i saw some dumbass teenager ripping open a porno mag he had brought from the mag rack. i walked over to a clerk and ratted him out. i'm not sure of my motivation, but i felt really embarressed after i did it. seemed a little unfair to the kid, but i, in a way, enjoyed it. i enjoy a porno mag as much as (or more than) the next guy, but something just pissed me off by that kid ripping off the store. oh well. i think i am just old.

oh well, bought two books, LT: Over the Edge (biography of Lawernce Taylor) and Twin Tracks (history book) both look interesting, we shall see.
