I think I'm going to start wearing a cowboy hat.

Friday night I left work and walked down 8th avenue to the Port Authority. It was crazy packed, so I just said, screw this and I went back to work to regroup. I don't know if you know this but I'm not a fan of big crowds. On my way back to work, I went into the subway. Everybody just got off the train and they were headed straight for me -- an uncomfortable feeling, to say the least. I got back to work and hung out until I thought the rush hour madness was over. I get home, crack open a brew (red flag -- drinking alone) and pop in The Terminator. Man that's a great movie! I had no idea how talented James Cameron was. He's an artist.

Saturday, I woke up and my mission was to get a new front tire for the love machine. I went to one of those wholesale stores. You buy the tire on the wholesale side and the garage "next door" puts it on. When I took it next door, they guy told me there's a two hour wait, damn. So, I took it in stride and went shopping. I stayed in The Wiz for an hour. I was very close to buying Scanners for $10 on DVD but couldn't go through with it. As I said, I was in there for an hour and didn't buy anything, I felt like I was robbing them by not getting anything -- it was a good feeling. From there, I went and bought some new headlights, one of them just burnt out. By then the car was ready and I was on my way to what strange and exotic place?

Nutley, NJ to do my laundry. I left an old blanket there a few weeks back and to my surprise, they still had it! Score one for Bob! I went out to the car to put on my new headlights and the screws were rusted and stripped -- minus 2 for Bob. That was about it for Saturday. Sunday, I woke up early for some reason. I decided I had nothing else better to do so I drove down to Red Bank, NJ. I looked around the record store down there for close to an hour. They have a metal section and a punk section -- everything's not all lumped together. I was going to get Twisted Sister's greatest hits but I got Neil Young instead. I wanted to hear his country CD, Old Ways. I also went to Kevin Smith's comic book store. I'm not a big comic book guy. I got in the car and drove north. On the radio, they broke in with the news that we've retaliated!!!!! I kicked it back home so I could check it out on the TV. And aside from getting some ham at Boston Market, that's where I was the rest of the night. That was the weekend.


That's it. God Bless America!!!!!
