Sapphire Sled's Revenge!

Let's review the tale of the tape for the past two weeks, shall we?

Monday, April 29th, despite my best efforts I still scraped the Sapphire Sled's (my ride is a 2004 Acura RSX Type S) right rear quarter panel. Awesome sauce.
Monday, May 6th, a four-wheeling' (sleepy in 'los speak) 'los managed to accidentally knock the underground parking garage security gate off it's track mid-way.

I haven't added in the information that the alignment is still jacked up since December 2012, and now the the parking brake idiot light periodically flashes on the dash while driving.

Today?
This morning?

I was not paying attention carefully. I was exiting the SS in the Tully's parking lot. With my left hand, I managed to shut the car door onto my right hand holding my stainless steel travel mug.

OUCH!

The travel mug prevented me from completely crushing my hand, yet it also flew across the parking lot... I stood there shock, then bent over in pain. Quickly reviewed my hand, not bad I mused. The index finger knuckle is bruised instantly and cut, but that was it.

I really don't believe in inanimate objects having a personality, per se, but I think Karma is at work here - the Sapphire Sled's Revenge!

Better go retrieve my travel mug so I can declare cafediem!
Why am I so train wreck-y lately?
Why am I, 'los is the most messy?

That question and answer is a perfect segue to my next 'blog post...

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...

Cinematic Carlos - Seattle International Film Festival 2014

Last night started the 2nd year of my annual tradition (?) of screening several movies during the Seattle International Film Festival. I've known about for years, even a short stint in managing travel during the 2001 SIFF (that's even a longer story!) However, I had zero to little interest in it. I had no good reason either way. Last year, my dear friend, Cindy, invited me to be her movie buddy for SIFF. I accepted because I had no honestly good reason to refuse. We ran around the city tracking down movies that we wanted to watch, others were forgettable but that's the point! Some of these films will hit the mainstream. Most do not. Through the movies, misadventures, and mischief, we had a blast. So, it goes without saying, she invited me to repeat the feat. It continues to teach me: Despite how 'busy' you are - slow down and cherish the time with friends, family, and loved ones That as you grow older - invites should bear more weight than when you were y...
