Tiny Snowpeople, Old Obsessions, & My New Camera

Today is Tuesday January Fifth Two Thousand Ten. Saw about six miniature snowpersons on the way to work this morning, one of each of a concrete pillar in someone's front yard. I should have taken some pics with my new Samsung SL620 but I left it at the house. More on the camera later, awesome news on that. Anyway, each snowperson was about ten inches high and was detailed with rocks, sticks and little pine cones. I am not normally an "awww, how cute" kinda guy but they def made my morning. Its little things like the mini snowpeople that make sobriety so awesome to me. If I was trudging to work last year at this time not only would it have been later but my mind would have been consumed with how I can avoid getting caught drinking on the job that day and if I had enough dough to call the dope man.

If I had enough dough to call the dope man then I would be obsessing with what time to call the bastard and what the earliest time the motherfucker would be able to swing by Longwood. Tony was quite possibly the worst and most inconvenient drug dealer in terms of his office hours. He did deliver but only between the hours of twelve pm and six pm. He didn't care if you called him repeatedly for more dope during the day just as long as it was during those hours. Heroin distribution is unlike any other drug distribution I have ever come across, more money didn't mean a better deal and you could call him as often as you wanted. He is a pretty nice guy I guess but I would be nice to someone too if they were calling me every other day to give me money. It makes me shudder to think about how much cash I gave that guy, some day I will add it up and post it here. I will also try and explain some of the more creative ways I came up with to legally get cash.

I am very happy with the Best Buy Corporation today and due to their honesty and goodwill I will not only pimp them to my friends I will also give them more of my business. I purchase most of my electronics from their website because one of their stores is in the Fenway area. Last September I purchased a digi camera for my first time. I did a ton of research and settled on a GE model that had all the features I wanted for a hundred bucks. It worked fine for my trip to Denver but when I turned it on for xmas it didn't seem to work. Thankfully I purchased the two year extened warranty for twenty five bucks and called BB so called geek squad (a name I loathe) to find out what my options were. They told me that I needed to go to BB and then send it back to GE for service. Fine with me as long as it doesn't cost anything and I get another camera before I turn fifty. The BBGSA explained that they didn't have to send it back and that they would replace it although the GE camera was only available on-line. I could get a store credit for a hundred bucks and look around for another one. Fine, I thought I will probably find one thats a little more $$ but with more features and I would be on way.

I settled on a Samsung SL620 that was org priced at one seventy but was on sale for one thirty. It had a better optical zoom and exposure bracketing than my other one and I reckoned it was worth the extra thirty bucks. The bitch tried to upsell me to a cannon but I told her that I didn't like cannons and that the Samsung would do. Actually I don't have an opinion on cannons but the one she was pointing at was another twenty bucks. So I brought the camera to the register in customer service and after fifteen minutes of clickity clacketying on the register the camera was mine. Without me having to pay anything extra. When I looked at the slippy there was a forty dollar discount as advertised and then another forty dollar discount that wasn't advertised. Works for me, the new camera has a ton of extra features that I didn't know about including some cool effects and I am very happy with the Best Buy Geek Squad. The only problem is the camera is a pinky-red but I can deal. After all, I was just yapping yesterday about my new sense of style.

So I have to come forward and be honest about something. I am very interested in two xx chromos, one who is in the program and another who is not. I have written about them before and am taking the slow and safe route with both of them. I don't really know if either of them would want to be more than my friend but they are very pleasant to oogle. Anyway, the one in the program sat next to me in a meeting last nite and I know this sounds like its coming from someone who is twelve but I swear she was checking me out. Even if this is all in my imagination its still cool to think that way and makes me feel better. Your ego takes such a beating when you start treatment that things like this are important. I really don't know if dating someone in the program is a good idea but then it seems like an excellent idea. I am not really worried about not being able to go to the same meetings or anything like that, there are plenty of them out there. Its just this girl is so godammed beautiful and I get all flustered when I try and talk to her. Harumph !
