Good Afternoon;
Well it turns out the most of the FLAKES are not falling from the sky but in line at the food store. Shelves are bare and tempers are short, and Baltimore's 'Asshole Quotient' just hit a new high...only 2 days after breaking the old record while at the Ice Show!
The show was awesome and Rachel was overjoyed and so happily appreciative and thankful, she is an old hand at this though, this being her third in the past 13 months. Now Edward, who was taken to celebrate his 5th birthday, was... drum roll please and appropriate lighting and music conveying "shock and awe"....totally silent with his eyes and mouth wide open in amazement, when he was not cheering and shouting! (Until the lights came up and we asked him how he liked it and he slipped back into spoiled/sullen/blase mode and full hyper-activated functionality, and bitched about one character not showing up. Teenage attitude in a 5 year old body! he finally let slip his 'cool' when he began to describe the show to his dad Tom. ....
"One of these days Alice...to the MOON!!!!!"
We were surrounded by..'the best of the best' of the worst mannered morons Baltimore's ghetto society had to offer, full volume cursing at their ill mannered offspring who were.. spilling $8.00 sodas down my back and dumping powdered sugar from their $9.00 funnel cakes all over Rachel's and my coats, and smacking my family in the face with their pieces of $20.00 light up, plastic, useless, broken before the end of the show crap, (these are the people who have the latest $150.00 Nikes on their infants, and are shoplifting baby formula...), all the time kicking the hell out of the backs of our seats.....while screaming into the cell phones that they were asked to turn off at the beginning of the show but did not, and who promptly shouted racism, because the ushers did not tell us..(we who were NOT on our phones???!!!)..to stop also!
As I said the PERFORMANCE was awesome, and the sight lines were good. The woman next to me, who barely kept her cool during the show, lost it when the show ended and the ignorant savages behind us started getting up to leave, smacking everyone in the head with their coats, and spitting all over the floor, throwing half empty $10.00 popcorn boxes, that left a trail of greasy buttered debris all over everyone else across the aisles like Frisbees, turned to me and said..LOUDLY!!..this city needs a nice cleansing Act of God, in parts of East and West Baltimore, like the one in Haiti. SOME body has to take out the garbage! The piece of work behind us starts to come charging back and opened her mouth to spew some more foul stupidity...but took one look in her eyes and stopped and backed off, tripping over her brood of Satan's spawn, upon whom she promptly returns to encouraging to greater haste with random obscenities and slaps to the head. My seatmate turns to me and says..."It's coon like that , who make me ashamed to be a nigga"!..What does a white man respond to a comment like that, my face must have given away my thoughts, because she burst out laughing and complimented me on Rachel and Ed's behavior during the show..and I had to do the daughter/daughter-grandson routine. I always get a kick out of the looks I get from that explanation...lol.
Rachel and I ended up spending the night Thursday also, me because it was planned already the I would babysit while Jenn and Tom both went out in different directions, and Rachel because her mothers live in boyfriend was taken to the hospital with chest pains. Rachel was picked up by the 'ex' this morning and was heading over to 'Bubbies' (the 'ex'es' mother) house for the weekend, to avoid any chance of her having to be driven around in the the snow storm or aftermath, if her mother had to drive to or from the hospital. She could have stayed at Jenn's if needed but after 2 days, and with the expected occurrence of incipient cabin fever and Ed's already overactive hyper drive mechanism, and the general air of tension pervading the air already in such cramped quarters...well, as much as I want her there, it would have been like looking for a gas leak with a match...NOT a good idea! I took off to the Giant and
the library, (where I got a really interesting e-mail from a loyal reader in IRELAND...[I just love this WWW!...international notoriety!!!....LOL!]...more later on that subject), around 1:00 pm to day and will be heading back REEAAALLLL soon, the snow is getting heavier and darkness is near. To tell the truth, it is not THAT bitter cold out there, and if there was any place near the shed to go to and hang out, (which is why the original choice of the shed was it's proximity to the now closed Starbucks), I would just stay there, and deal with it. But!! the whole damn city is about to shut down under the threat of 2 feet..[or MORE!!!, possibly, of snow]..and I don't want to think about the buses...........
Well it should be a good 'snowman snow' {if we can find an area at the apartments free of 'pooch presents'!!}..and Ed is quivering (like my last, tight, taut, stretched to the breaking point nerve) with anticipation.
I'll see you ????? in the next few days...............Dave
