mount vernon

we were super slow at work about a month ago and for a day or so i was moved in to a different department since i had completely run out of work for the day.
now you need to understand that i technically work at a factory. factories tend to attract some very interesting employees. i like to think that my department is one of the least "white trash" departments.
so when i get moved, i get a little nervous because these kind of people don't seem to take well to "my kind". although i've grown up with this problem all of my life growing up in the town of white bluff, i still can't help but get nervous.
so the job i was assigned to was "stuffing records". i was to put all of the new guns n roses records into the jackets so they could be sealed and shipped. there were several other people doing this but there were two that were standing directly across the table from me.
the first was a large guy whose name i believe is vernon. at least that's what his shirt said. he had a lit cigarette stuck to his lip the entire four hours or so that i saw him. i actually never saw him inhale anything, just occasionally ash it. he had a borderline mullet. i don't know if i could actually call it a mullet. he also had a truckers hat on that he seems to be wearing everytime i see him.
the second guy was at least half my size. he also had a borderline mullet and would occasionally smoke a cigarette. i think he was actually smoking his cigarettes though. i don't know his name but im sure it was a good one. he didn't have it displayed on his shirt like vernon.
these two guys, who have yet to say a word to me, started talking about the tattoos they had. what prison they had gotten them in. if they were thirteen when they got it or forty. how bad it hurt. and which names they needed to cover up.
vernon was talking about his cousin who had just gotten a tattoo in prison by some self-taught tattoo artist who vernon apparently thought was amazing. he said that as soon as this guy got out of prison in a year, he was going to get a new huge tattoo from him.
he then described the tattoo he wanted..
huge across his shoulders on his back. a picture of mount rushmore.. but he did not want the president's faces on mount rushmore. instead he was going to have each of his four children's faces on mount rushmore.

that story took longer than expected. sorry.

so i just noticed that halcyon myspace posted a bunch of pictures from the crankmas after party..
here
i'm spotted in a few pictures. see if you can find me.
i think i'm eating in all of them.

i just set up my turntable on my new table that mister andy gave me and organized my vinyl from rating to alphabetically. it's forever growing. damn vinyl takes half my paycheck before i even leave work on payday.
well, not half but might as well be.

don't you wish you were listening to m.i.a. on vinyl right now like me?

someone passed out on me, so now i have to find something to do.

crankmas

thanks to art for these..



halcyon hosted the afterparty..









the winner gets the golden saddle..

this past weekend can be summed up as a success.

friday
the seabees sang to me, bryan not saying goodbye, hugging mr fox, happy valley, being intoxicated, forgetting keys, being told i look like i'm in love, standing in the dance area, horses and stuff,
saturday
waking up later than intending, last minute bike building, got sixth out of 44 in the crankmas bike race(according to chris callis), halcyon after party with booze music vegan barbq and good friends, back and forth from davids to halcyon, bourbon, bicycle tricks galore
sunday
bicycles all day long, drdr flying over my handlebars while trying to ride my bicycle, frothy monkey with ben folds, and more bicycles


wouldn't you say that was a success?

art has a bunch of pictures from crankmas that i am going to steal as soon as he uploads them and then i will post them on here.

i'm working on a christmas mix. ill post it when i'm done.
you won't be disappointed.
