Ad. Ults.


I was hoping my new story entitled Russo would be ready tonight. But I'm getting tied up editing and re-editing every little bit before the last. So it's quite possible it won't be ready until Monday or Tuesday. I'm really liking it and I hope you guys dig it too.
I got paid today. Plus a bonus but of course bills (just remembered another one i gotta pay right now) knocked me on my ass and burned enough holes in my pockets for them to star in a Uwe Bol movie (BuzZING).
I was working the store on my own the other day and I asked a customer how he was doing today. He was a pretty average looking older man. He had walked past me by the time i had finished asking him so I think it took a second for my question to register. But when it did, I think he was ready to say the most brilliant thing I've ever heard an old man say in my life.

"Ain't worth a damn. How bout' ya'self?"

Wow. I couldn't react. He stifled any follow-up i could've thought of. I laughed a half-hearted sort of pseudo laugh and shot him this puzzled look. Anyway, the old man turned around and left with that same damn smile he walked in with. I wonder if that sort of brutal honesty works as well with others. I can't imagine most people blog about such a character.
Also, I typed "What would the world be like without Adults?" in Google search images and this picture is what i found. Enjoy.
