Hey is that seat taken!

Once again Boys & Girls its time to gather around the cauldron. The day started out overcast & cool (weather report-last night it pissed down rain)... that kept me from pedaling to local Starbucks... instead I burned up some dinosaur juice... did my part to warm up the planet after all it was a hoodie/sweater day... I rolled into the local Starbucks to see Pumpkin pushing the crew (pushing the crew-film industry term-leader-head barista)... time out... now I have to come up with two new barista characters nicknames... first is the barista working the register... I'll call her 'Bring Back The 60's Barista', she friendly and quite witty... the other barista was working the 'cauldron machine', I'll call her 'I'm Not That Kind Of Girl Barista', friendly, (insert hand motion-air quotes) 'good girl', don't like facial hair on guys... time in... where was I?... Ah yes... as I entered I greeted Pumpkin's crew... sense I had my laptop my plan was kicking back doing some writing... but like most best laid out plans... it went to hell rather quickly... the spot I usually use was taken already by a young couple sharing a notebook... better known as my first 'fisher Price I can't afford a real laptop so I got this piece of shit'... the second table I use was being occupied by a good looking young vixen, in her early twenties with a nice 15" inch MacBookPro, now that's class... I landed at my usual spot when I don't have my laptop with me, at the counter sitting in the 'big person' chair... I do what most people do... set my stuff down on the counter in front of the stool I'm going to sit in... which is right by 'hey stupid your damn drink is really and it's been sitting here for awhile' pick up counter... Pumpkin disappeared into the back when I head over to the register where 'Bring Back The 60's Barista' is taking orders... now, her and 'I'm Not That Kind Of Girl Barista' made a comment about me growing a goat-tee... why is it that most females never can say "hey a nice goat-tee you're growing there"... instead they say some thing like "what the fuck is that on your face" (but in 'PC')... I order up my 'first cup of the day' plus a banana... the place was a bit busy but not standing room only busy... after exchanging pleasantries about my goat-tee... more like me defending myself... I even tried throwing a 'regular' who has a goat-tee (two tone) under the bus... didn't work, the baristas still wanting to shave off my goat-tee with rusty piece of dull steel... I was up front when I was confronted about the darkness my goat-tee... I gladly spout out to 'I'm Not That Kind Of Girl Barista' that I dyed my goat-tee to make it one color (you know the guy commercial 'cover the grey & you'll score with the chicks ol' guy)... I'm not afraid to admit I have some 'metro' in me... which got a strange chuckle from them... now mind you this all happened within about ten minutes... I went to doctor up my java at the positions & hex condiment bar... (you're excepting me to write some sexual innuendo about looks-likes, coffee-women, sugar-sweet, cream-tan)... while doing this a young guy with his female friend where waiting at the 'hey stupid your damn drink is really and it's been sitting here for awhile' pick up counter when he sat down on the stool I had my stuff in front of... why is it that people fucking don't care anymore?... I mean if you see that someone has their stuff or drink holding their place... you don't plop your ass down... what happen to manners... me being me, I say to him "I'll share my seat with you"?... which he in turns he gives the dumb look, OF WHAT?... then it registers that the stuff on the counter is mine, so reluctantly he surrenders the seat... this got a giggle out of 'I'm Not That Kind Of Girl' Barista... I sat down, the young guy & his female friend left, then it got busy... I read some of tweets… when I noticed that my Mac laptop is getting old... tell tale sign is the battier doesn't hold its charge... its scary when the screen goes black before you can shut it down... so what do I do?... I get a refill... but this time Pumpkin was back & surprise me with a 'cup of lovin', which in someways made it all better... plus I got the cheesy bagel/cream cheese... felling the need to aid my old Mac laptop I took it on the run... leaving Starbucks with a rush of costumers... is there a moral to this tale... yeah don't fucking sit your ass down when you can plainly see that someone else is already sitting there...

Shampoo & Cut Watching Old Flash Gordon series from 1930s

I started off the day turning down a 'get up & go' call. It was for the TV Pilot I worded on yesterday; the same one that laid me off because the guy I replaced was coming back today (he'd called in sick-really one day illness?). The other reason I turned it down was, they're at some 'porn house' location deep in Malibu Canyon; ritzy house usually used in filming porn; far way from street, miles away from trailer & wrapping out was going to be a bitch, late night! It was supposedly only going to be an eight hour call per production (yeah right). So I did what every other person would do I lied about having something else I had to attend to. I made a quick call to the person who cuts my hair to see if she could fit me in at the last minute for a shampoo & cut. Her reply was get your ass here by 1:30 today! That gave me a few hours to 'kill'. I went to my local Starbucks for my 'first cup of the day' (none of the barista I write about where working), cheesy bagel/cream cheese. While killing time I read some tweets, updated apps on iPhone then headed out to get hair cut. I got to the saloon just in time to wait for her to finish a 'blue haired lady' (means old old woman with grey that look somewhat blue). Now I know your suppose to open up and pour out your heart to the person cutting your hair but why is it with me its the other way around. She is the one telling me what hell is going on (it doesn't help that she has been cutting my hair for over 20yrs-she pretty much knows all my ex-wife's family-fuck me I really don't care what happens with them). 
FLASH BACK (film term for insert what's happened in the past):
Update of what I had for a meal at work from yesterday: Corn beef!! some chicken and a portabella mushroom, couple of homemade chocolate chip cookies. When I got home that night I had Chinese, steamed rice and BBQ Pork. 
END OF FLASH BACK:
After getting my shampoo & cut, I came back to flop place to finish grooming, that means shaving, trimming goat-tee, did some touch up (yup man code for dyeing it one color-get rid of the grey) then shower to get the dye out of my goat-tee. Very mess when trying to rise dye out of goat-tee in sink. I can clean up rather nicely (I was once told). I wish I had a hot MILF to clean up for so she can take advantage of me (ya hot dirty sex).Watching Nexflix, Old Flash Gordon series from the 1930s made for theatre intermission. Now I am hungry, thinking of shrimp tacos!

Burger from the new old Sugar Shack.

Tonight's writing is not about the local Starbucks that I pedal my ass over to. All right I lied, it is kinda sorta... I was yearning for a 'cup of java'... this time when I got there the baristas I usual write about weren't on the floor (restaurant term for get your ass out there and take the abuse for very low pay)... I went to my original spot at the counter to sit in the 'big persons' chair... instead of having my laptop this time I had my iPod Touch (we're reading old, I mean old-it won't take any new updates from iTunes anymore old-way before iPad was a wet spot in Steve's pants old) used it and my iPhone to stakeout my little part of the counter... like in the old land rush days (those of you who flunked history get the new history app from the app store)... then I went to the register to find someone I haven't written about yet... now, I got to say its kind of 'cool' when a barista ask me "what's my pet name going to be"? (I guess this would be writer's term for AKA or alias-to protect the innocent-like I would really do that)... Now that I have time to ponder it, how about 'She Who facebooks Everything Barista'... works for me... (now back to story)... 'She Who facebooks Everything Barista' was telling me it took her a bit to figure out who Baahbaah Barista was... She giggle I smirked... I got my 'cup of java', made her go fetch bananas from the back because they where out on the counter... when she came back with the box of Chiquita Bananas... I knew I was getting one with a sticker!... Fuck me... there are times when I shouldn't write about putting up stickers around the store... She Who facebooks Everything Barista remember that Baahbaah Barista stripped the stickers so she did too... she didn't want to be out done... there goes my sticker... okay back to what this story is going to be about... I sat at my staked out part of the counter enjoying my 'cup of java' while watching Nexflix on my old iPod Touch... what I was watching was even older... 1930s version of 'Flash Gordon Death Ray From Mars' (if you got nexflix take a look)... after the 'cup of java', banana and being distracted by the very sexy hot MILFs come in for the ice blend drinks, even ice tea!... I decided on going next door to the NEW OLD SUGAR SHACK... a bit of history or rumor not sure which... this was the original MALT SHOPE of Covina (oops gave away location-fuck it-google it) made famous by a newspaper cartoonist... back in the days when guys looking like Ken dolls and the gals where wearing poodle skirts (which is why a lot of guys have sexual fantasies about girls wearing bobby socks, two tone shoes, and tight knit sweaters)... I got yearning for an old fashion cheese burger... having some feed back from others who patron the Sugar Shack... it's the burgers that got good reviews... oh the chile is for shit (shit not meaning good)... I've heard that the sundaes are monstrous... might be a good thing... it's the ice cream I'm not sure of, Thrifty Ice Cream... which to me was okay but very cheap... not highly rated back in the day... well lets get back to it shall we?.. I went over (you can see pic here that I took-there somewhere here) to order a cheese burger with avocado and extra pickle... now I will say this the place is somewhat busy because of curiosity but not wait outside until we feel you get a table busy... I made my order to go thinking it wouldn't take much time... was I fucking wrong... I think when you tell them its to go... to them it means "hey cookie take your fucking time on this one-its on the fly"... I mean I had time to go back and watch more of my 'Flash Gordon Death Ray From Mars' movie... I went back-n-forth from local Starbucks to Sugar Shack more times than I should... I finally got my avocado cheese burger with extra pickles (why do people think extra means we give you two so here is one more-extra means give me a lot you fucking bastard)... got the burger back to Starbucks to the area I had staked out... it was good... can of reminded me of---wait for it... 'Big Boy's Hamburgers'... wolfed it down and chased it with a Route 66 Root Beer (made with real cane sugar)... good stuff all around... now for the picture I'm posting with this, in no way is related to the Sugar Shack... I mean noooo noooo noooo buddy in Sugar Shack looks like this at all... the furthest from it... I think if they would get the waitress to look like this... then they could make you wait outside until they fucking feel like sitting your ass at table or at counter... Do you want fries with that?

Sweeping it under the rug.

Where are the protest marches for your rights?

First thing first-the picture I posted with this rant is from the comic book Captain America. It's the writer & penciler reflecting real life when the Tea Part/GOP where out in the streets. Well, now let get to the second thing. The GOP/Tea Part took over most state governments... did you know that they are out to take away your right to join a union-so you can't have better pay-take away the right to voting-make it harder for college students to vote-take away the right to free speech-by defunding NPR-take away right to have local government-where a GOP Governor can put in place a single person to deactivate local cities of their Mayors or elected officials-take away the right to freedom of religion-if you are not of their faith, your against GOD-take away the rights of women-defund plan parenthood or strike down pro choice. Is this what its about these day? Where are the protest marches in the streets like in the Middle East? Where are the young college students protest marches in the street against of the GOP/Tea Party taking away your right to vote? (a nation of young; who die in Vietnam; for you to have the right to vote) Where are the elderly protest marches in the street against the cuts to Social Security or Medicare? Where are the workers protest marches against the GOP/Tea Party that won't let you have a union for better pay or sending jobs overseas? (other than in Wisconsin) Where are the protest marches in the street against the GOP/Tea Party for taking away women's rights? Where are the protest marches in the street against GOP/Tea Party for striking down local Mayors or elected officials because they won't get inline with GOP Governors? Where are the protest marches in the street against GOP/Tea Party backing the BIG BANK OR WALL STREET that through you out of your house illegally or stripped you of your retirement pensions or 401k? Where are the protest marches in the street that brought so much to our country? Like the protest march in Salma, Alabama for Civil Rights. The protest marches against Vietnam to stop a war that was wrong. The protest marches in Washington DC for Women's Rights for equal pay and pro choice. The protest marches for Gay Rights in San Francisco. The protest marches of  Cesar Chavez, the rights for Farm Workers. Everything that I have stated has been done through peaceful marches. The Middle East has taken a page out of our playbook (history books). There are a few of us who remember and are marching for their rights. What are you going to do when your bubble breaks and everything comes crashing down? 

The song by Buffalo Springfield-'For What It Worth', how true that this song reflects what has happened in past is happening now.
