Regulars

Don is a regular customer. He's a pretty cool guy. He came in with his twin brother from Oakland the other day. I saw it as a great photo opportunity:

I'm now a gym member

As part of my new year's resolution to sell out, I joined 24 Hour Fitness yesterday. Today was my 1st work out. A co-worker of mine goes there regularly. He's in great shape and enjoys going to the gym. We decided to start working out together. I have to mention that he is gay, just for the sake of this story. As we were doing an exercise, he said, "Most of the dudes who work out here are probably gay. Those five guys that just walked past us. They're all gay. That dude behind us with the Hooters shirt on. Gay. Yeah, you wouldn't suspect." Now, I got mad love for my gay friends, and I have no problem working out with a bunch of gay dudes. They're a lot cooler than a bunch of jock bros. The problem I'm having right now is telling the difference. Apparently, my "gaydar" needs some fine tuning, because all the dudes at the gym looked like a buncha bros. So, I pose this to Bug, concerning your previous post about a dude in an Affliction shirt calling you a "faggot". Maybe he was just hitting on you. If he wasn't, that bro needs his ass beat. I now know a bunch of "faggots" that probably could. Like I said, I got mad love for my gay friends. And I love you, too, Bug. We're total bros, but not like that kind of bro. You know, the kind that wear Affliction shirts and pay disrespect to strangers. The world would be a much better place without those kind of bros. (LC)

Work

We had our carpet at work clean today from 11pm to 4am. I was lucky enough to get to be there to assist the cleaners. They were 2 macho-looking dudes. I asked them what would they like to listen to while they worked. (This is a record store, you know). So the dude in charge said: "Got any 80s?" So I put on a compilation of hits from the 80s.

The CD played for a bit, then the dude came up to me and asked, "Got any Abba?" I grab Abba Gold.

After that one finished I checked with him and he said,"How about Michael Jackson?"
I ask him:"Early or late?"
"Early." I put on Thriller.

When that one finished I went and grabbed Prince-Purple Rain with even checking with him. I looked at him and he gave me a thumbs-up.

I had a good time hangin' with the carpet cleaners. I would do it all over again, if asked. (LC)
