I really have to say, working at a cafe may be the next best thing to working in a cafe. I mean, if I’m there all the time, why not just pick up a shift here and there? Would it be because if I did, that I would acquire obligations/situations where my presence or absence could make/break my job? Would I be ostracized if I couldn’t make it to work? It’s a good line of work, in both situations, but if I had to choose, making coffee and washing dishes may just hush me for a while.
Another thing I’ve tried to occupy the time in between my other time, is all this nonsense about being sad. Who wants to be sad? It’s okay to need to be sad from time to time; you know if you’re feeling creative, vicariously experiencing a piece of real-life drama through a buddy, inundated with a slew of Darren Aronofsky films (back to back). But who wants to be sad? Real sadness is finding out you have pancreatic cancer with 4 weeks to live; real sadness is when your friend dies. No body wants that.

Sometimes you have to be awesome. And not like, “Hey guys I just jumped a fence with my BMX, onto a moving truck, and then onto a dinosaur that carried me away to a far away time where I met an Amazonian woman prisoner who I brought back from the past, but she’s getting a manicure…” No. Not like that. Although that’s pretty damn cool, it’s a goddam lie and you know it, we know it.

I’m talking so awesome that you could say you jumped a fence with your BMX, onto a moving vehicle, onto an animal of the living kind, which in turn took you to a place, findable on google maps — be caught on google maps riding said animal, and then to a person whom will obviously make any mortal man/woman blush — and all the while, we either believe or don’t, but KNOW that you’re telling some very close form of truth.
Although Brando was above-and-beyond full of awesomeness, he was still just a man.. Danzig, whose beat-down video spread through the net like herpes simplex virus 2 through 45 million Americans, is also, just a man, no more no less. And that is the kind of awesomeness that I am trying to depict with these mere words. Tom Waits, although incredibly awesome, is half human – half goat-god. So obviously that does not count.
