Or is there. . . . . . . .
As of late my social calender mostly consists of infrequent gatherings with a few friends, and people that I barely know. Mostly I have been either working, or staying in a self imposed isolation in my basement. I don't get out much anymore.
So, just like my writing, I am trying to get back into the pace of things in the outside world. And in this process I am gathering my notes & stuff & realizing how pathetic some of the things & the people around these days. Take for instance a guy I met a while back.
Monkey boy is this idiot that, at the ripe age of 19 has fried his brain to the point of no return. When I met him he was sketching out a new tattoo using gang symbols from both the bloods & the crips. When asked "why the hell are you doing that?", his reply was that by having both of the designs prominently displayed on his arms he would then be safe in the presence of either group. It had not occurred to him, and he just could not comprehend when we told him, that by having both tags he would never be safe anywhere around either gang, nor any other gang, and most likely would become someones bitch if he was remotely allowed to live.
And he has been allowed to breed. His girlfriend is a sweet & frighteningly ignorantly stupid girl. In other words his perfect match. I met her once and could hear the whoosh of the black-hole vacuum which was her head. She was due to unleash her spawn while monkey boy was in jail for possession with intent to be stoned. {He got busted & was so fucked up he didn't truly realize he was in jail for 2 days}. Well when it came time for the hatch-ling to spew out, the court called with a 24 hour furlough. When the guards notified him of this he argued with them that he did not have a furlough & the girl was not supposed to pop for another week. They told him again that they have a court signed 24 hour release for him to leave & be out. HE STILL ARGUED WITH THEM ! Then after other convicts all but physically slapped him silly trying to explain, 'YOU HAVE A 24 HOUR PASS TO GET OUT OF JAIL TO SEE YOUR WOMAN WHO IS HAVING THE BABY RIGHT NOW!'. He finally got what was going on. This was not a shock reaction to having a kid, this was plain old fashioned burned out brain playing at 1/8th speed.
So after going out, seeing 'his woman', his mutant offspring, and getting stoned to the be-jesus, monkey boy returned & just barely passed the breathalyzer at the front desk. He was still tweaking from the party pack of drugs he & his buddies consumed while visiting the hospital. Mind you the new mother also had a few tastes of the buffet of buzz since she had to be clean for nine months, so fun was had by all. Luckily for him, the great brain trust of "corrections" officers did not notice him bouncing off the walls until the next morning to piss test him, which by that time he had come down & it was out of his system.
That ends story time for today kids. Come back later for more tails of stupid people in jail, and the inmates they are supposed to be watching....
Blessed Be, and grab some warm socks.
