$52.00. That's how much they tipped on New Years Eve. Old people. They truly were gone by 12:30 AM.
At one point they were playing a kind of century Jeopardy game. A guy asked who was president in 1920 & what party did he belong to.
"Woodrow Wilson. Democrat."
From the crowd...
"Woodrow Wilson. The bartender knows."
"Who led baseball in homeruns in 1920 & how many did he hit?"
"Babe Ruth. 54."
"The bartender said Babe Ruth & 54."
"RIGHT! He had something like 138 RBI's too."
"137."
"Okay. Someone is using their phone."
Heads turned my way & I held out my empty hands. Bill James might have changed that. But I distinctly remember 54 & 137 from my baseball Encyclopedia.
I stopped playing after that.
One woman came up later & tipped me a couple bucks for that. I think she was the one shouting out from the crowd. I was bored.

Going out to see my brother today. Hadn't realized how limited their visiting hours were. I would have had to battle rush hour traffic both ways for a half hour with him.
He's been in contact with those women who brought him down. One was stupid enough to call me. It was sort of like her rubbing my nose in the knowledge that she knew where he was. I asked her for money. Hehe. No, Tom isn't John. So I also realized he's going to be battling two addictions. Liquor & his apparent need to give them his last dollar. They'll take it too.

He looked much better & was in good spirits. That really is a nice facility. He's made friends.
He knows now he can't stay with me any length of time. He's taking sobriety seriously. Said he realizes most of these people will relapse. The center will help put him in a clean & sober home. He found out he has an enlarged liver.
Just that one bitch contacted me regarding John. No 400 lb girlfriend. No stepdaughter. Not even his biological daughter. I'm the only one to visit. That's a harsh reality that hopefully he can use to his advantage. I asked him to please stay away from them.

He's getting stronger by the day. He's letting me handle his money, so far anyway. He's gone from $10.00 in his bank account to $3,100 in about three weeks. I've never smoked & was shocked at how much cigarettes cost. He owed $209.40 on the phone I destroyed, to keep him from contacting the people who exploited him. We just got him a new phone for $64.00. Starting next month his bill will be $25.00.
We stopped by his ex-wife's place yesterday. John admitted he was doing a million dollars a year back in the 80's & 90's. I bit my tongue.
Have to admit he's given me a purpose, like our late mother did. I'm still going to screw with the people who robbed him.

This is a letter I just sent off to my brother's stepdaughter. Her husband is pretty big. I'm very nuts. We'll see how that works out.
Dear Amber & Andy
Hi! Did you realize you had forgotten to include any contact information when you unexpectedly dropped your stepfather off with me on Christmas Eve? Imagine my surprise. We hadn't seen each other in ten years. I wasn't even aware he had retired. Not to worry though. Obviously I found both you & Andy, so it all worked out in the end.
Anyway, you'll be happy to know I checked John into rehab. First a hospital & then rehab. It was touch & go for a while. He has an enlarged liver. Maybe some heart problems. He's doing much better now (if his liver heals). Even getting his memory back. Why no one else had ever done this before is a total mystery. I guess some people even enabled his behavior to take advantage of him. Good thing you dropped him off with a relative when you did. He was down to $10.00 in his bank account. Wish you would have come in & said hello. Even Andy forgot to say hello.
Be careful who you call friends, Amber. Some are speaking very poorly of you. One even went so far as to say you were taking John to the liquor store & handling his cash transactions, for a substantial fee. I dunno. Was she nervous & just randomly pointed her finger in another direction because of some perceived fear of what I might do? I realize John & I are very different people. But I have no idea what would inspire such abject terror. What could I possibly do?
On that note, right now I’m deciding how to proceed with the people who brought my brother to such dire straits. Elder abuse, fraud, reckless endangerment & grand larceny jump to mind. Suppose we could include kidnapping. These are very serious crimes. Perhaps you can help me nail the culprits? I heard through John's grapevine that you & I spoke about you bringing John over beforehand. While I can't recall that conversation, just call me back at the same number if you can be of any assistance. At least as far as getting some of his money back. His health is in God’s hands. Please keep him in your prayers.
Well, I digress. Hope you both had a wonderful holiday season. Before that too actually. John said you enjoyed Las Vegas & Big Bear as well.
Talk to you both real soon.
Take care now...

John paid for their Las Vegas & Big Bear vacations. He couldn't recall how much he gave them for Big Bear. He specifically remembered $2,000 for Vegas though
That lying bitch never called me. Now she's going to have to get my number to make good on that claim. I would want to see her call records to confirm
John is begging me to let it go. He must not know me very well. I told Tessa no one fucks with my family on my watch. She cheered that on because she's the exact same way.

Worked two shifts in January. A funeral for $26.00, & a wedding for $248 00. Thank God for the wedding
They have me taking those tests again. The library doesn't keep earphones by their computers anymore. Maybe you have to ask for them. No matter. I fast-forwarded the tapes & knocked out eleven tests in about an hour Wednesday.

So my liver enzymes have gone down & I have the kidneys of a 30 year old. Glad my doctor doesn't realize just how much a miracle that is.

This booking agent is killing me. An hour in & no sales. The average age here has to be 80. First came the canes. Then the walkers. Finally wheelchairs. I would swipe a Red Bull to stay awake if there were sales to hide it in.

$14.50 so far. This might work out if it draws attention to the problem in our sales department.
One really slick bitch, who walked away when told she had to pay, just asked for two glasses of ice to get drinks downstairs. The bar downstairs doesn't have ice? I gave it to her just so she'd go away. Cunt.

Two bartenders last night. They brought their ace back in. I outsold him about 2 to 1. It started out really slow, but then had a Happy Hour. I was was really cranking. Manny's bar was empty. At 7:30 the party moved upstairs. Manny was the first to leave for upstairs.
I cracked some sarcastic jokes (me?) & got extra tips for having a sense of humor.
In all I made $115.00 in an hour & 20 minutes. It was a hosted bar too.
Manny seemed miffed because he got around $30. Because they were now only serving beer & wine, & we were down to just one bar upstairs, I asked Manny if he wanted to work it alone. You're sure to make more money alone. He accepted that. I didn't want any hard feelings. There was no money left anyway. The customers would walk up to me & ask questions. I smiled & pointed to Manny as the answer man.
Got home at 9:28. Nice evening.
Accidentally took the cabinet keys home the previous day. Soon as I emptied my pockets at home I saw the keys & felt really bad. But how is it a guy who works maybe once a week has to restock so much stuff? Lazy jerks.
Jorge started his parroting shit again about the keys.
"What you should have done when you discovered the keys was..."
l didn't hear the rest because I had already walked away.

Finally going through stuff in the garage. Found some old photos. Tessa looks more like me than I recalled. I always thought she looked just like her mother. She had green eyes at birth & it hurt when they turned brown. I have Rosacea (since controlled with Benadryl) but thought the one thing I could hand down that was positive was green eyes. Her's turned brown on day 3.
I'll be 61 next month & have a fat face now. Looking at these photos though, I had a lean face back in the day. Brown hair (blond before that) & a lean face. Tessa has brown hair & a lean face. Her mother has black hair & a chubby baby face.
I always wondered how I got these hot chicks. My brother told me I was a pretty boy. His own wife said Tom was pretty. I thought I was ugly. I WAS pretty. My ex played on my self-esteem issues to make it seem like she was doing me a favor. To make me grateful. "I always figured if one of us dumped the other one, it would be me dumping you." I would Buster Keaton (sp) deadpan that. I had gotten another woman pregnant while still with her. Guess I deserve that much. Get it out of your system. About the final straw was her seeing Maria. We went back to middle school. She saw Maria & came home crying.
"What's the matter honey?"
"I didn't know you could do so good!"
Deadpan...

"I didn't know you could do so good!" Deadpan... What a drag it is getting old! I used to consider myself ugly - especially since I had to hear it daily from other dudes in junior / high school. I had an accident on a bike when I was very young that basically tore the bottom of my face off. I ended up with @ 50 stitches and lips that looked like I’d gone 12 rounds with Ali. Someone came up with the name “Fishlips” which quickly morphed into “Fishhead”. I didn’t care much for either. The swelling never did go away but I didn’t mind and today both men and women pay thousands for Botox to enhance their lips. I got mine for free. The thing is - I ALWAYS had very hot girls / women from junior high on. Now I realize some of it had to do with being a musician and singer in a number of bands because, well, much like the long ball, chicks dig musicians. But I also have a wry sense of humor that to this day is why my wife has stuck around for nearly 30 years, even through some of my band “groupies” that I just could say no to. Especially the mother and daughter that climbed into the front seat of my Ford P/U with me between sets one night in Indiana. My hair used to be dirty blond and down to my ass; I was tall, skinny and could sing anything from Journey to ZZ Top and like Rich Little, manipulate my voice to match whoever we were covering. I VERY easily could have ended up in one of the strip “hair bands” in the early 80’s if I had only brought one of my axes with me that summer I spent hanging out at most of the clubs (Roxy, Whiskey’s, etc.). Probably saw and hung with most of those guys like Crüe, Poison, LA Guns, etc. before any of them were much more than guys that played for free every night just to get laid. Mission accomplished. Now I’m looking at 60, have a pretty decent paunch and keep my head cropped because that blond is all grey these days. I can still sing and play, but those high notes are getting harder and harder to hit, especially if I go for a few weeks without practicing. No kids (that I know of) to continue the legacy, but that was by choice and I don’t think I or the wife would change a thing if we could go back. We’ve been places we’d have never gone to and had / have every toy we’ve ever wanted. Two years left on our mortgage and a little over that on our Benz and we are debt free. That will be sweet! GO DODGERS!!! |

GO DODGERS!!! Glad I had kids. I'm not religious (although I've read) because I take comfort in no God. There is no heaven & hell. You just die & that's it. Nothing. Who is afraid of nothing? What kind of a wuss is afraid of nothing? I take comfort in no God, because I've done some awful things no one wants to be held accountable for. That's Mom's conscience. Damn her. Nothing after we die. That feels better. I have never mocked anyone for their belief system though. Whatever gets you through the night. I steered my brother towards a church because he needed it. Put my daughter through parochial school because I went through gladiator academy & she was "yellow" & growing up in Inglewood. There is no God. This is what we make of it. Earth can be heaven if we really want it to be. Then we return to Earth. Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. When I would get really depressed about & curse God, I would curse God & ask why I was born. Then look at Tessa & realize there was a higher purpose. She doesn't know I feel this way. Better off leaving that alone. Her mother scored a bullseye when she figured that out though. Bitch. You said I could have other women. |
