This new year seems almost no different to me, just another move for me in my pathetic attempt to make some semblence of making my life worth something. Then I wake up and see what I have a good home a great family in my future wife and my lil girl. While I may not have what I wanted to have when I got them, I think Im not doin to bad right now tryin to make a good home for the both of them.

This coming year I think the thing I will miss the most is sleep, and with that said I've been having some really wierd dreams.

In my dream my lil girl and I dealt with daily life for a great while and it was just the two of us. There was nobody around and we just kinda went through all the normal routines she and I had set up. I looked throughout the house for any sign of and coudn't find any. No clothes and her name wasn't on any bills I happen to come across. Wierd. Well I wanted to know what happened to her and I went ona search for her one day, well the search ended as I opened my front door and ended up in the dream house I dreamt of my death in. I walked into the entrance and sat down on a one of the wooden benches flanking the entrance to this atrium. The tree growing in the middle was as beautiful as ever, just reaching for the sky and wanting to be free. I stared at it trying to figure out what was goin on when I realized I was alone. On either side of me were drawings of me or what seemed to be drawings. One was ink, which lent it a dark and dreary look, especially with all the heavy shading that was used for him and the other was a pencil sketch that was so light it almost seemed to be fading and getting washed out.

I looked at the both of them and asked them why I was there.
The light one said “Change”
The dark responded with “Whatever”
I asked various questions about my life and the direction it is heading in and recieved about the same response each time. I finally asked why they tormented me so when they both looked and laughed and said….
“Balance is gone!”
They continued to laugh as I woke up to my baby's hungry cries.
I was freaked out the whole time I took care of my baby, but she fell asleep quickly and I went back to sleep, and ended up in the central stair well of this house sitting on a step wondering where was again. I felt a kick on my back and turned around to see who it was, but nobody was there. This happened about four more times when I finally saw a lil girl about 8 or so who looked exactly as Riley had in my dream except she was a greyscale picture of herself. I caught her leg and asked her what she wanted.
“Nothing,” she replied.
“Who are you,” I asked.
She giggled a bit and then smiled as she said, “DON'T YOU KNOW?!? I'm your balance.”

WHOA!!

I woke up right after that and have been wondering what they hell this dream means.

I know the future is uncertain, but I also know that the future will be fun and full of adventure with my girls. So I guess its off to catch a cat nap before Ri wakes up, see ya!

Sorry about the length, so Im gonna cut it for ya. Basically its how I was a smartass and made a bit of extra cash last week.

So Im waiting on a big party last week and thankfully someone told me they would handle the bill up too $200 this made my job easier since I dont have to split checks then…whew. Sadly we are one of the only places in town that will do such a thing to large parties, I think Im going to try and convince my managers otherwise because it is becoming a big pain, it doesn't even really help the tip when I do al that work. Well this couple joins the party and I walk up to greet them.

M = Me
FG = Funny Guy

FG: Tanguerey 10 * stares at me*
M: Okie….*trails off hoping he would complete the order*
FG: Well? *stare bores into my head*
M: *chuckles a bit* Well did you want that on the rocks, neat, up, tonic, seven, *gags and makes a face* with coke?
FG: *looks at his wife* Great here we go again.
M: * definitely confused now and ready to smack him for attitude* Where are we going?
FG: You know know Tang 10 is different from regular Tang, right?
M: *smirks* Yeah….so what would you like it with?
FG: Im sure this seems a bit confusing, but since you know you know its different I need to know if you have it *starts to seem aggitated* I don't want to seem like an ass, but…
M: *laughs* Ohhhhh, you're asking if we have it…yes we do…so what would you like with it?
FG: *looks sheepish* Tonic…
GF: Sapphire and Tonic, plz
I don't want to seem like an ass
* the look on his gf's face says too late*
M: *laughs again* Too late, but may I make a suggestion?
FG: Yes?
M: If you formulate your initial response as a question Im sure your server would be able to figure out that you want somethingand not assume that you are trying to order. That along with a hearty hello and a look in the eye of that same server will let them know that you are addressing them. Don't wanna seem like an ass,, don't be one. Just remember it's, “Do you have Tang 10?” This will help you avoid future snafus of this nature. Now that was a 10 and tonic and a sapphire and tonic, I'll be back.
*walks away with the snickers of half the table in my ears*

I recieved a five dollar tip from some random lady at the table for that, apparantly he tries to be snooty with his gin, Alright I like my gin but I would not call gin a snooty type of liquor. Scotch or pricey tequila maybe, but this is just gin. Besides to me Tang and Tang 10 taste the same…not like Bombay and Bombay Sapphire, where you can tell if someone is trying to pull a fast one on you.

The moral of the story is don't try to lord your drinks over someone who probably knows a bit more about them than you. If you got the wrong thing before its probably because you didn't ask. Something like that, I just thought it was amusing.
