listen... i'm not that guy.

another soccer game cancelled. i passed out on the couch. ricardo said, 'so cause your game was cancelled, you're just going to sulk?' yes. what else am i supposed to do, anyways. watched part of i am cuba, but now im watching deadly outlaw rekka. its pretty ice so far. the music is sweet, its straight out of duke nukem. haha, this movie is sweet. miike is the man. of course, everyone already knew this. no alarm tomorrow. guitar center doesnt fix amps, so i have to call around. too bad my fashion advisor isn't in town, tomorrow would be a perfect shopping day.

oh yeah, today at work, everything was going fine until basically the last two customers i helped. vlado put it well by saying that people used to just come in and rent movies and leave. now, every other customer wants something special - the bathroom key, something ordered, a release date, etc. he proved this to me over the course of a few minutes helping people. now i dont mind talking to people as much as he does, but i understand his point.

he also doesnt wear a name tag, cause when you do , people talk to you like you are their friend. some guy comes in, who had already been there in the morning, and asks when we were going to get the 4th season of angel. vlado said he didnt know, and sara said that it should come sometime. so then the guy leaves and vlado comments how everybody is nuts. after walking across the parking lot, the guy comes back in and finds some movies (3rd visit of the day). when he gets up to the front, he asks about angel again, saying that 'sara' said it was coming, so he wanted to know when. then some guy comes in, whose obviously not all there, comes straight up to me and vlado and just says 'hi, im going to look for a movie i want.' ... he comes up a few minutes later and says, 'hi, matt. my names john' and he puts out his hand for me to shake. i just kind of looked at him. 'my names john, whats your last name?' 'do you really need to know my last name?' 'no.' 'okay then.'

the next guy that came in basically insisted that i sell him our rental copy of fellowship of the ring. i had to argue with this guy for 5 minutes to explain that i couldnt sell it to him, and that he had to buy it new or just not return it. of course, this all goes much more smoothly if both people involved in the conversation are speaking the same language... god bless america and corporate video rental chains

oh shit! this movie is crazy!
