Thank God I Didn't Drive.

I collected a final check from one of my customers, Kappa, a few nights ago, and just as I was about to walk out the door he asked if I'd join him and some friends at Opah in Hollywood, FL for some beers, some Hummus, and a few laughs. I, of course, accepted and immediately we started the night off with a few Heinekens. Next thing I know, I'm dancing on our table at Opah. Blah blah blah, normal night, right? Right. Until one of us--I'll not mention any names--decided to swipe a package of restaurant napkins in front of two cops as we were walking outside to go home...



...Needless to say, the black and whites weren't too keen on the idea. As they run outside of the restaurant after us, they begin spewing verbal defecation too intense for this blog. However, the curse words weren't exactly what disturbed me the most. It was more the male cop screaming, "I don't care if you're a girl; I'll knock you the fuck out! You think I won't punch you in the back of your head?!" Hearing this several times and watching his partner, a female cop get off on it much the same as the male, was a bit repulsive, to say the least. Either way, after the girl gave them a show with tears and innocent looks and whatnot, they let us go (without the napkins, of course). It really is a pity that the male cop didn't get to punch someone at least; for I fear that night his wife was in for a surprise when her husband in blue came home.

What'd You Do Easter Sunday?

Anyone Want My Eclipse?

I've decided I really don't need the Eclipse anymore. I bought it brand new in 2001 and have been the only owner, but for the last year I've hardly driven it at all. See, I'm in Florida and the car's in Texas. I figured it'd be better to have a personal car on file for tax purposes--and it is--but it's certainly not worth the $1500 every six months to keep it insured and registered and whatnot.

Specs: Silver 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS w/"Sun & Sound package" (i.e., sun roof & seven Infiniti speakers); manual transmission.

Anyway, I don't want to list it because it's at my parents' house in Bedford, TX and I don't want my mom to be bothered with strangers looking at it. It's got 69,000 and has been well maintained. It has a few minor body issues--the worst of which is some rust that was touched up on the driver side rear fender. I believe that problem could be corrected for under $500 (per a body shop estimate when I replaced the driver side front fender). My CD player is in the vehicle but probably needs to be changed. I can't remember if I got the CD player portion of it to work last time I had it or not (I've had the deck since like 199frickin7). Other than that, there's a stain on the ceiling from god knows what, some Armour All clouding on the speedometer window, and the hatchback cover is missing over the trunk area... I believe that's all the flaws.

KBB priced it in "GOOD" condition at $8120 but that doesn't mean a whole lot necessarily.

If you, or someone you know, is interested, please let me know!!

Mozart in Top Gun

Alright, so I'm doing some paperwork and listening to a bit of Wolfgang Am and his "Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major" comes on. About midway through the piece, I notice that it highly resembles Harold Faltermeyer's "Memories" from the film Top Gun. Neato. Mozart is one plagiarizing bastard, if you ask me. Damn straight!

Me, Aaron in back & Jana at Spirits Club at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Hollywood, FL. The club pretty much sucked. But afterwards we treated ourselves to a bicycle carrage ride back to our vehicles. There were three of us on it and this guy was peddling like a madman! We nearly wrecked like four times! Now that was worth the $15 I paid for it, way more than that damn stinky club!

Also, I've had some server issues lately. Sowwy.
