So here I am, on this Sunday afternoon (July 13th, 2014), issuing this report,
having reached the mid-way point of SUMMER 2014, 6 weeks gone by,
another 6 more to go, before Canada becomes "Canada" again (COLD!).
Now why it is I present forth *this report*, to begin with is because, well,
for each summer presented upon me, I have certain "expectations" that have
to be met, and if I'm unable to have met them, I get very much disappointed.
And yeah, when I mass a certain amount of disappointment, well then (ha!),
I begin to channel it out *in my unique way* and feed it to *certain people*.
As result, my frustration (and how I channel it) starts frustrate other people,
and then I cool off, and restart the cycle, once the next summer approaches.
II. MY BIRTHDAYS (MAY 30TH+31ST)
Yes indeed, peoples, I am in fact a man gifted with (not 1, but) 2 birthdays,
May 30th AND May 31st, and though my birth-certificate writes "May 30th",
having experienced one too many "lackluster birthdays" in recent years,
I decided to *extend my bday* thru into the next calendar date (May 31st),
this way, when I'm left disappointed on *Day 1*, I got *Day 2* to make up.
And how intriguing is it, of all days, my birthdays come at the end of May,
literally, leading into the FIRST DAY OF SUMMER, June 1st (my opinion!).
Needless to say, I got handed to me yet another SAD, MISERABLE BDAY,
this year, thus starting my SUMMER 2014 off on a real sour note, so yeah.
Still to this day, I am very much ANGERED, by this most recent (bad) bday.
III. UNISOM (SLEEPING PILLS)
I think it's pretty much safe to say, I am now reliant on UNISOM Sleep-Aid
(sleeping pills, 2) to help get me through the night, yes, EVERY NIGHT now!
Originally used to push me to sleep, in case of early morning work shifts,
what can I say, I now take em, even when I don't gotta be up early next day.
Despite being familiar with these very same meds for, I think, 8 years now,
it wasn't until this most recent (2013) holiday season though, when I, well,
chose to take them nightly, mainly, to fight off having to 'cry myself to sleep'.
Fast-forward, and here we are into summer, a time much like *the holidays*,
where we should be making the best of it (and life), unfortunately, "I'm not".
Riddled with so many problems, and thus unable to sleep, unless I take 2...
IV. HIGHLIGHT OF THE SUMMER
The highlight of my Summer 2014 "thus far..." has been, well, sad to say it,
but yes indeed, ELLIOT RODGER, and the infamous night of 05/23/14.
While the vast, vast majority of the world has UNANIMOUS HATRED for
the man that was Elliot Rodger, over the fact, he killed 6 absolute nobodies!
I wouldn't really go so far to say, what he did was RIGHT, by any means,
but the fact, he had to endure a LIFETIME'S WORTH OF BULLSHIT, yeah,
he had every right to do what he did, and I applaud him for VENGING OUT!
Now just because I'm a "fan", doesn't mean I plan to follow in "his footsteps",
nor have I encouraged/wished for another such "incident" to happen again,
but the fact "he couldn't get a GF", just like "I can't get a GF!", amuses me.
V. LOWLIGHT OF THE SUMMER
The lowlight of my Summer 2014 "thus far..." has to be the WORLD CUP!
And the fact, FUCKIN GERMANY had to win, how I hate those germans,
and wanted SOOO BADLY for Brazil to win (possible conspiracy here?!).
But I kid you, I didn't give one single FUCK for the World Cup tournament.
Though it made my workplace (#RestaurantThatCannotBeNamed) happy,
in attributing to great revenue (as well as some stress/fatigue to my body),
I personally find it idiotic for people to be so much behind this HORSESHIT.
Often times, I would pass by large group of (mostly) guys, standing by a TV,
staring towards a (bboorriinngg) soccer game like mind-controlled zombies!
As best as I tried not to care, still, this summer could have done without it.
VI. LAKESHORE MISSISSAUGA (07/11/14)
Now, on Friday, July 11th, 2014, I ventured out to Lakeshore Harbourfront
(Mississauga, not Toronto) BY MYSELF, sadly, since I have NO FRIENDS!
And yeah, had a shitty time to say the least, and indeed much of it had to do
the fact I WAS ALONE, and yep, showcasing myself in true LONER fashion.
Had gone to the Starbucks there, on 2 separate occasions (3 hours apart),
and felt judged and awkwardly mishandled by the idiotic staff working there,
perhaps viewing me as 'terrorist' (being brown in mostly white/asian crowd).
This had been my 3rd summer now, going out to Lakeshore, just by myself,
and while I liked 'the scenery', of course, this would get tarnished for me,
by couples holding hands, passing me, I would give em all THE FINGER!
VII. "THE HOOKER INCIDENT" (02/14/14)
So as I stated at the very start of this post, I've entered this Summer 2014
with "expectations", and I might as well just go straight to THE BIG ONE,
being that I HAVE TO HAVE SEX sometime throughout THIS SUMMER!
and addition to that, WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY $$$ UPFRONT FOR IT!
Now the whole *root* of this rather ridiculous, pathetic, public SEX PLEA
stems from February 14th, 2014 (Valentine's Day), when I paid a HOOKER
$520 (in bills), plus paying $110 for a hotel room, in an effort to GET LAID
and she tricked me, and DROVE OFF WITH THE MONEY, stranding me.
What had me from GOING APE, after this event, was me assuring myself,
I will GET LAID this very summer, and indeed, NOT THRU A HOOKER!
VIII. SUMMER VACATION (07/23/14)
Perhaps there's a possibility, that the "best days" of my SUMMER 2014
is *in the waiting*, considering, from July 23rd (through to August 12th),
I will be *ON VACATION*, away from my (quite so strenuous) restaurant job.
Indeed, that's 3 FULL WEEKS, of having the restaurant industry "leash"
removed from off my neck (free from ALL its body -and mental- fatigue).
The fact I've been quite MISERABLE this summer, is not only due to me
"not having a girl friend", but yeah, my (restaurant) job plays a HUGE factor.
(you know, the 'while everyone is out enjoying summer, I'm here?!' feeling).
So yeah, I got granted OFF-TIME, and during this (3 week) off-work period,
I want to have "THE TIME OF MY LIFE" and "INCREDIBLE MEMORIES".
IX. GOING TO... NEW YORK CITY
So, the start of my vacation comes with a trip to NEW YORK CITY, with
my parents, via car, for a family birthday party (and to go see other family).
Despite it only being for 4 days, ontop the fact, I won't get to see Manhattan
(the best part of NYC), as well as the fact, my family (down there in NYC)
don't really 'care for me', still, it's a MUCH NEEDED break from Brampton!
A side-note here, in that I USED TO LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY (Queens)
in late 80's, before having to move to Canada, and for a good time period,
from 1994 to 2010, I had the luxury of going to NYC, once/twice a year.
And then my family collapsed, lol, putting end to the whole 'every year' thing.
This will be my first trip to NYC in 4 years, next time after that, who knows.
X. BACK TO... BRAMPTON
So now, after I come back from New York City, it'll be back to Brampton!
Where I will have 2 weeks to do, pretty much, Fuck All! (meaning, nothing).
How much of that time will be wa$ted at #BCC/#Bramalea City Centre mall,
I guess we'll have to see, but I hope to make better use of my granted time.
So yeah, I don't go back to work until August 12th, but on the night before
(August 11th), I will be seeing my first concert (alone), in that of 7 YEARS!
(since 2007, when my cousin in NYC, took me to go see DEVILDRIVER!).
I will be seeing ABANDON ALL SHIPS! (amongst my TOP 3 fave bands).
So, whether I have (an eventual) good summer or (an overall) bad summer,
this concert should at least provide ONE worthwhile, remembering moment.
