Bastards

Don't care what brand it is, so long as it lights whatever I want to smoke.

I always thought zippo lighters made my cigarette taste funny

Did you light it from the bottom of the flame?

I'm intrigued, how exactly? There are so many people that say they'll be soon be working for the entertainment industry, most of them are completely deluded and are under some impression they have talent because they can write a script which basically shouts "mundane!".

a tad harsh .



but I agree, that is part of the reason I dropped out of my last college course, I am still gonna try and persue it, just gonna get my qualifications in something a little more "safe" so I have something to fall back on.

I'm not necessarily saying that's what this lad is doing, he may well surprise me. It's just what most of the people who say that do.

Another thing that said people do is say that they know someone who works in the entertainment industry already, usually they're a runner or caterer, or something.

Yeah man, I understand,

Bullshitters ya mean ?

Yeah, either bullshitters or just people who are living in a fantasy land.

same thing

My jobs:

Fellow former paperboy, ey? How many papers did you have on your route? I think I had about 60 on weekdays and eighty on weekends. I hated Sundays, big paper, had to take like three trips to complete the whole route.

I used to help my Bro in law roll papers, like 500 or so.

About the same, I hated the weekend ones - they were a bastard. I ended up employing some other kid to deliver my papers every weekend.

I had an afternoon route, but on weekends I had to deliver them at about 7 in the morning. After that, two other paperboys in the neighborhood and I would go ride our bikes to the donut shop. After that I'd go home and watch Saturday morning cartoons. And then after that I'd take a long nap in the afternoon. Then I'd wake up with serious heartburn from the donuts.

Damn. We had a guy like that too. He'd ride a scooter loaded with all the papers where his feet were. His name was Mike Maddox. He was a paperboy legend.

I forgot to mention I had a job once selling meat door to door.


Meat.

There used to be a van round where I live that sold meat, the bastard played the ice cream tune when he did his rounds. I think that's the most cruel thing I've ever witnessed. It made me give up on humanity, at the age of ten.

The meat I sold was grade A quality, and it was a killer deal, but still....knocking on doors selling meat.

Mine was only about 40, but I was enough of a dumb sh*t to take a route almost a mile away. With no ride most days, 40 papers seems a helluva lot more when you lug them a mile 4-5 times a week.

Nice walks back, but getting their was occasionally brutal.

I'll be honest, I laughed when I read that. I do agree though that if I was 10 and heard the ice cream truck, but it turned out to be a meat guy, I would have been pissed.

I love meat.



when the ice ream van came round my bit I prayed for it to be the meat van....
