The Best Feeling In The World

Is getting out of work early. Even if you have nothing planned for the night, just getting out is phenomenal. To celebrate I am headed to Hopleaf for Mussels.

Money

I come into contact with people who are obsessed with money all day long. How fucking boring. I watched a room of thirty people today just go back and forth on the market for three hours. Each person had their view of where things are going. Often in direct opposition with the person who had just been speaking. How is this fulfilling for people? What a awful way to spend an evening.

Are these people happy? Maybe, they are. But I would have been bored out of my mind. Do these people watch movies or read books? Are they able to have any sort of discourse? They probably would find the kind of things I talk about with my friends dull as well. We will call it a push.

Since No One Reads This It Doesn't Matter

Alright since I last wrote a few things have happened. Let's catch everyone up to speed.

I moved finally. I love my new place and really dig having the extra room. It's close to everything one needs and I have been able to have people over to kick it. I had a decent Cinco de Mayo party (with two kinds of chips). I have procured a BBQ and have been putting it to good use. I had people over for Memorial Day and met the neighbors. The people upstairs are really cool and seemed to be able to keep up with our drinking. The neighborhood is full of families and dogs which lends a certain cozy air to the place.

I managed to grill twice this weekend. Both times on the front step which brings all kinds of odd looks. It was just closer to the kitchen. Doing a good job grilling is really some kind of male affirmation. Made a Greek salad as well which seemed to go over alright. Fun fact Bocca Burgers can get all burned to shit if you leave them for more than a minute. Proving once again that hippy food has no soul.

I may need some surgery. Turns out that I have a bad gallbladder and it may need to go. The only problem is that I have been waiting a week and a half for test results. It took a month to get in to see someone and now I continue to wait. New thing I discovered though, going to the hospital by yourself is a new kind of lonely. The nurse actually asked if anyone was waiting for me and I laughed. Kind of messed up.
