What the hell....? I'm getting the word that there are at least two conventions in town this weekend and a food show, but Carson's has NOT been nearly as busy as it should be. Friday night I brought home $65. Saturday night I brought home $77. That's pathetic! People...
What a night. It started with quite a bit of pain that I knew I had to get rid of it before my shift ("monthly" pain, no big deal). The (male) pharmacist recommended Aleve which I'd never taken, but I urgently needed to be pain FREE for my Friday night shift at...
In a society full of lost fitness dreams and nutritional good intentions gone bad, there's one place you can be sure to get a plateful of carbs, high sodium content and slow-cooked meat: Carson's the Place for Ribs!I've been a server at the downtown Carson's (612 N....
Okay, guys, if for no other reason that this one ("Italians Come Out on Top in Penis Study"), please stay in shape and keep the WEIGHT down:A group of scientists in Hong Kong spent five months from October last year measuring 148 ethnic Chinese volunteers aged between...
We had emailed several times and it was our first phone conversation. Every few minutes, his narration would slow down as he'd get to the end of what he had to say on the topic at hand (how often he sees his family, how he likes to exercise, where he works, etc.). At...
I’m a third-generation Mexican American and originally from California, but I’ve lived in Chicago for 12 years. One of the most startling differences between the two places is that there are no “white” people here. People who look white to me, and who would be called...

It took them ONE DAY to come up with Ratzinger?? I'm so disgusted. I am so disgusted. #$%-ing Catholic church. @#$-ing, son of a *$&%^, dum-b%*# Catholic Church.
By the way, I am totally working Steve's plan for how to get yourself married. I remain as conflicted as ever about marriage itself, but I'm determined to try this strategy. Interestingly, every one of my friends with whom I shared the plan and almost every one of you...
Happy Tax Day Eve. I have now done my taxes. Time for a beer. I used Telefile, although the message said this is the last year Telefile will be available. Next year they want everyone to file online, or use the regular forms and the U.S. mail, which I guess will...
By the way, the reason there hasn't been a new gig posted on my music website is that I'm currently feeling stuck. I feel tired of the original songs I've been performing, I can't see the point of performing (especially for audiences that are mostly made up of my...
This is the latest I have ever procrastinated. I think it's because I had two jobs in 2004, plus I was on unemployment for two months. It just feels too complicated and it makes me hate myself for not having a steady, regular job with nice, neat paychecks and a...
I wear my single-never-married status like a prison sentence.
If I had self-esteem......I wouldn't waste one second on any man who didn't engage/intrigue/fascinate me from the start....I'd stop calling myself "desperate."...I'd stop looking for a man....I wouldn't care that I'm almost 39 and unmarried....I'd forget about...
A friend suggested the following:You want to know how to find love? Don't look for it. Instead, do service work, using your talents and gifts to help others in ways that honor God. You'll soon find your mind focused on what you can do to help other people. Then some...
