the aqua velva man
well, "the ranch" as its called, was a blowout last night! good thing i had a coupla nights left on the books at the bread! they had 5 slots open and when i got there i was #187. so after i ate some shepards pie and ice cream and milk, i beat it back down to the bread, which was a 10 minute walk, and got in down there, as you have until 10 pm to check in, otherwise, its curtains! yeeeeeee!
so, i have ONE NIGHT LEFT on the books, and no way in hell am i getting in down at the ranch! SO, tomorrow morning at the blessed hour of 5 am, i will have to make it down to the UGM (UGH!) and get a mat for tomorrow night. oh well, at least i wont be out in the environs!
but later on today, i'll call down there to the ranch to "check in" as now im on the list, and when ya call in there they will tell you which way the wind is blowing; i may not have to goto UGM (UGH!) at all. we will see.
tomorrow, i have an appointment for the cooks job in georgetown, and im confident that i will get the job. this is a saloon type place, and ive worked them before.
meanwhile, down at the mission, whist i was dilly dallying down at the ranch, the original aqua velva man came by the mission to sing and gloat about his fantastic life!
yea here he was, in the flesh, the first aqua velva man back in the 1950's telling us his stories with mamie van doren, and how he became a christian, and if you get off the booze, you too can be a christian and have god do wonderful things for your life too!! this old man makes me sick, and he comes down once enough to flaunt how successful (famous) he is (was)and is one of these morons that comes and spews his right wing republican rhetoric at us, and what a staunch obama hater he is, and how sorry he is to see ole "gerogie boy" go! and blasts congress for setting term limits on the presidency! and, he brings all his right wing republican magazines and propaganda with him to pass out to us, and we HAVE to sit and listen to this old man spew his crap for not just an hour, but an hour and a HALF! yea, we dont have to listen to any of it, but that would mean, no dinner and stay out til 8 pm! SO, we have to put up with morons like him SEVEN DAYS A WEEK!!
this is WHY i want to get into the ranch! no jesus shoved down yer gullet! no holier than thou person who thinks his shit dont stink, telling us all how because we are all drug addicts and alcoholics and if we just lay down the crack pipe and bottle how we, too can come to jesus and be a christian!
well, i said it before, and i'll say it again, i got 23 years sobriety, and booze DIDN'T GET ME IN THE MISSION, POOR LIFE CHOICES DID!! and as for "christianity", screw that! i got my own personal relationship with "GOD" and it goes like this:
"i swear, if you let me live, i'll never ever touch another drop to drink again, i swear by all thats holy and right"
(the above holy oath was seared into an eternal salvation aggreement by yours truly and the ALMIGHTY GOD during a cardiac infarction that was thrust upon me during the beginning of my detoxification of alcohol, january 8th, 1986, reno nevada)
so, i'll be god damned if im gonna have some old croaker sit there and tell me what ails me as to how i can just fix my life and blame it on the booze and drugs!
ah jeeze, im onna rant! sorry! but these cheeze-its make me wanna gag.
i'll shaddup now. you may now return to your local NBC (NoBodyCares) station for the scheduled show already in progress...see ya tomorrow!!
