FULL MOON AT THE BAR

 

 STRANGE NIGHT

I knew the full moon brought out strange people but I had my fill on Staurday night.

First I had a deranged homeless guy who stood outside the door of my bar for two hours because I wouldn't let him in. At one point he was point a finger gun at me through the door. We called the cops and had him chased off. The cop said that he had seen him in the Jail 5 days before.

Second, and best, was the fact that at about 5am my two customers, both males in their forties, started to talk seriously about the parenting of Billy Ray Cyrus with his daughter...really, that's what they were talking about at a bar. During the time that these guys were talking I also found out that the louder of the two guys was actually the one who had brought the homeless guy to the bar earlier in the evening (on swing shift)  because he needed a beer and he didn't know the guy was delusional and homeless. I find that hard to believe....it took me about 5 seconds to realize this when the guy first came in the door and I told him to leave.

PARADISE?????

Had an "odd" moment today...a little disgusting also...I was out by the Alliante Hotel & Casino and had to let mother nature clean my colon. While I sat on the toilet taking care of business I was bored so I took out the "smart" phone and began to read the news of the world. Well in order to get to the news portion you have to pass the weather portion. It said that I was in "Paradise" and the temp was 82 degrees...who knew...the Alliante bathroom...the funny part is that when I got up and was done I looked at the weather again it had said that I was now in Las Vegas.....I guess I dropped Paradise in the crapper

SMITH CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

Saw this sculpture in photos by another photographer and felt inclined to go shoot a few photos. The two bands are  the Sin City Sinners and Arena Tribute, both from Vegas.

 

LOCAL BANDS

I was on Fremont Street in Las Vegas shooting an assignment for the local paper and I decided to kill some time shooting a couple of local bands.

I AM AN ASS

I AM ALSO AN UNCLE

My youngest brother's ex-girlfriend had his baby on Friday. He came back to my apartment today at about 6am and has been asleep on the couch since then. He woke up briefly at about 5pm when I got back home from working out and the movies (Casa de Mi Padre). We had the following short conversation.

Brother: You're an Uncle
Me: I heard
Brother: Oh you got the Email
Me: On Friday
Brother: It's a girl
Me: Cool
Brother: She has Down's Syndrome
Me: That Sucks

Brother went back to sleep.

I could have come up with a better response but I am still fuming over finding what appears to be not one, but two, drug use pipes in my living room while he was gone for 3 weeks, supposedly working out of town. I am honestly trying to figure out whether or not I am going to throw him out. Admittedly probably not the best time in his life for this to happen but He is a recovering meth addict and I don't need this shit in my house. Because when he gets short for money my shit will start disappearing again. I don't know what else I could have said. There is nothing I can do to make the situation better. I already told him a month ago that the kid is not to come in my apartment. Mostly because my dogs have never been around a baby and I don't know how they would react. I actually like kids. I just don't want to own any and I am not doing any babysitting. Did that once. For about 3 years. Convinced me I don't want my own kids. I believe in whippings and beatings to solve problems and I don't want to be put in that position.

UP TO DATE

BLLLAAAAHHHH!!!

I haven't felt much like working out as of late. I am feeling okay, just no motivation. Admittedly I do have dual hip flexor strains and my work/sleep schedule is constantly in a state of flux. But those are just excuses. I was going good for a while in January and February but totally lost it in the 2nd half of the month. I am going to try and go between photo shoots today. Even if it is just for a half hour or so. I am going to stay away from the elliptical for a couple of weeks as this is all I can figure that is causing the hip flexor problem.

RECENT PHOTOS

Hera are a few photos that I have shot recently. Some for the newspaper and some for myself. Some are low res because I just copied them from my facebook page as the original files were on my laptop and I am to lazy to go find them.

Santa in His Hoopdee - I shot this in front of my apartment. Some one set it up and I saw it while walking the dogs

LUNAR BLOWOUT

While everyone else was waiting for the eclipse I had a totally different "lunar" experience. I use lunar in the sense of referring to the posterior part of our anatomy that we sometimes expose as a prank. Not so much that as the colon that leads to it.

If you have ever seen the movie "Bruce Almighty" and remember the monkey scene that is the closest that I can come to as far as what I went through last night. I am beating around the bush a little so as not to be too disgusting.

Over the last week and a half or so I have been pretty sick with the flu and my system has been a little messed up. That being said, over the last 3 or so day I have not needed to take a crap. Not that I shouldn't have, I have been eating like a champ. Well I thought I would be alright after I had the occasion to relieve a little pressure yesterday morning. But such was not the case. I work graveyard at a convenience store in Las Vegas and I have to wait til the store is empty so I can lock up and use the restroom. While I was waiting for one customer to lose his cash on the poker machine I had an overwhelming urge to crap. The hell with the rules I was going to lock the customer in the store and do my business. But, alas, this was also not to be the case. Literally from the time I got the urge and could head to the restroom (less than 30 seconds) my colon decided to let loose as I was walking their. I had absolutely no control. I felt as though that monkey coming in out the mexican guys ass in the afore mentioned movie was filling my shorts. I know, disgusting. But shit sometimes happens at inopportune times. The worst part is that all I could do was clean myself up as best as possible and go back to work as I work alone on the graveyard shift. This is an experience that I can honestly say that I hope never has the ocassion to occur again in my lifetime.
