I’ve been slowly deep cleaning the pantry for the last two hours. Taking a smoke break. All that’s left is scrape up the accumulated and hardened flour/sugar combo in the corners, mop the floor...


And I needed all of me to be on the same page to get it done. I’d been hurt. But even hurt, I wasn’t weak. I’d suffered loss. But in losing, I hadn’t become less. Pain had subsumed me in fire...

I want to personally thank the two PB’ers who stayed up talking to me Monday night to make sure I didn’t do anything brash. If I was still a drinking man I guarantee I would have hurt myself an...

RIP Snowball

When backing out of the driveway and into the street I accidentally ran over one of my strays. He limped over to the neighbor’s yard and fell over dead. I jumped out of the car, picked him up a...

Coming to terms with mortality. When Mom speaks of her grandfather’s farm, I stop what I’m doing to listen. We go to Walmart not to purchase anything but so she can get out of the house and get ...

43 For Me

Today is my birthday. Mom and I went to the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. Small but chock full of items. I’m still here, just processing some things. Takes time.


I discovered this channel last April or May. Anytime there is a new upload I’m there.

Book Description

I came on my own volition.
I am the man that got away.

Work -
Tonight I clocked in at 4:30 PM and it was suddenly Wednesday when I worked 6:45 AM to 6 PM with only an hour lunch break and on my feet the rest. I was trying to relieve Logan in the back who was frying chicken both for our loose case and boxed hot case so he could go to lunch. Instead I got mixed with a redneck who wanted a Philly steak and cheese. I made his sandwich to order only to be confronted with the elderly gentleman behind him. He, to this shit. o, wanted a Philly. I was annoyed. Angry. Granted chicken side cooking sucks At least you’re away from the customers. I can, “pretend”, like I’m cooking chicken in the back but dick around for ten minutes, which actually rarely happens. You learn to smile and accept this shit. Made him his sandwich, didn’t stop to ask the next customer if he needed help. Instead, went straight to the back and told Logan to take his lunch, I was taking over, box up what just came up out the fryer and we’re good.

It was just one of those days. People wonder why I get stoned before work.

I.
Am.
Robot.

Tell.
Me.
What.
Is.
Next.

I’m versatile.
Put me in any situation and I come victorious.
Even on the bad days.

So when I go the hardcore bitch mode of my assistant manager on Wednesday after my eleventh hour there. I got irate.

I know she does a job for two.
Her boss/my boss sucks ass.
But fuck....I’m part time.
If you want to bitch and yell about the shit that the full timers didn’t do…bitch to them.
DON’T MAKE ME DO THEIR FUCKING SHIT THE LAST HOUR I’M THERE!
I’ve been working for this slave camp for three and a half years.
I lost my insurance last year due to me being stupid and the store manager catching on. Which is actually a big blessing. I haven’t missed a day in a year.

But I’ve been there for every shift.
Sleep, no sleep?
Fuck it.
Show up for work.
The computer takes over on schedule and now I don’t qualify for our good insurance.
I have to take the government stuff?
OK.
I’m a democrat.
Lifelong.
BUT FUCK YOU OBAMA!
Don’t tell me what to do.
I’ll go another year without health insurance.
I want my good Blue Cross Blue Shield Back.
Make my job give me the hours back for insurance.

People close to me say I need to see a therapist.
After A.A. and an almost check in at rehab.
Maybe I do need anti-depressants.

This is a rant with no one I know reading this.
Its liberating.

I welcome ProseBox into my life.
