Cautious Carlos

Hm. Woke up this morning without the “help” of an alarm. Damn – I had unprotected sleep, by not enabling my cellphone alarm. I discovered that I had plenty of time to ready myself for work with time to spare [musk up] No gym class heroes action today! Such an auspicious start to my day, not my routine. Generally that is an ominous sign for a train wreck-y day. Forgot my allergy pill this morning since I was so distracted with other thoughts.  Why the hell did I forget my alarm? Why didn’t I pack my gym bag? Do I have everything I need for the day because… I’m dropping off my ride (the Sapphire Sled) to be painted and repair the damage I did on the fateful Monday in Bellevue, plus repair the door dent, and tire well damage from a snow chain failing on I-90 oh-so-long-ago.

Basically – “spa treatment” for my lil’ princess. And like any “spa treatment”, it’ll cost mad cheddar – mad cheddar I don’t have but need to dish out. Sound familiar, y’all?

For the rest of this day? I’ll proceed with caution. That’s what’s rattling around in my dome: proceed with caution, ‘los…

Let's Dance

The other week, I was driving to my 2 nd job at Malarky’s Sports Grill. Wednesday to be exact. I noticed a man standing at a bus sign waiting for a bus. I recognized the man right away. It was Kenny, The Dancing Wild Man of Factoria. It’d been a minute since I’ve seen him on the streets of Issaquah, I was growing concerned that something awful happened to him. I was thankful to find him once again, and within the same area I “met” him the first time… hilarious story. I remember distinctively. It was my first summer I spent in Issaquah. The sun was out, so relatively warm. I was bombing around in the Sapphire Sled [an arctic blue, 2004 Acura RSX Type S] with the windows down, the tunes up. I was stopped at the traffic light on the corner of Front Street and NW Gilman Blvd; the busiest intersection. From out-the-cuts, I heard someone screaming! I pull off my shades immediately. I whip my head around trying to seek out the source of the noise. I turn down the radio as I desper...

Manic Monday, Terrible Tuesday, Wonderful Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Finally Friday

What a roller coaster week I have had! To start off the week was a manic Monday. After work on Monday , I did a WinCo run with WCP. Always entertaining. Tuesday was terrible. Started off by being tardy for work, so I treated myself to Tully's before posting up. And... in my experience, when you start off a day like that, any attempt to speed up or make up that half-step, half-tick, never happens. For inexplicable reason, you are now out-of-step with the Universe, and like fucking hell you're gonna make it back up. Never. Fails. I was late to meetings, I was late to a gym class I'm regularly early for, and the list goes on. In fact, I decided on that day instead of seeking out my dream girl of a svelte body, superior intelligence, endless energy, and with a litany of characteristics to make any fairy godmother proud I made the wide-sweeping declaration that I wanted this instead. A 2-ton, yoga pants wearing, 45 year old, bitter, divorcee that is one more named cat f...

End of an Era

UPDATE: 1-17-2019 I purchased my own domain of Carlos Bayne, so please follow my blog posts by click on this link here . I was haphazardily introduced to another blog site, Tumblr, because a friend on Facebook moved a thread to an account titled: I Heart Gary. I am able to blog each component of my life instead of having one blog and having to search through it. I realize it's an end of an era, but it must done. You can find my posts now at ...
