Staying at a hotel with three other men. One of them, Brad
Pitt, and another fairly known actor are staying in one room. And I’m left with
the other man in the living room, who takes a liking to smoking weed with his
friends. I don’t think I can sleep through this. I spot seven dollars
worth of casino tickets on the floor. A well-dressed woman mentions that
someone left these and that I should take them.
Me: “I don’t even know what to do with these. You’ll have to
show me the ropes.”
I analyze the tickets and see names and time stamps written
on them.
Her: “I guess I could have you use my name.”

Waking up at 11:35 a.m.
White Apricots. Orange Juice.
It feels like I’m walking inside a giant oven outside.
I step into China Wok for my all day shift and I’m greeted
by a massive amount of arguing between Cecily and Ling, my two bosses. But I’m
just a fly on the wall listening to their incomprehensive language. Even though
I can’t understand the topic at hand I can understand the negative energy.
Grilled Cheese with Tomato. Salt n Vinegar Chips with
Avocado. Aloe Vera Drink.
The maximum forecast heat index is between 105 and 109
degrees. A heat advisory is in effect.
It’s been non-stop all day long. No time to think really.
A few scattered conversations with friends here and there.
Banana. Vitamin Water.
Keep delivering...
The rush dies down a little bit after 7. Two girls walk in
and place an order for crab rangoon and steamed dumplings. The one girl, whom I
find fairly attractive and also looks familiar, comments about how she can’t
find crab rangoon at any other Chinese restaurant.
Me: “You look familiar.”
Girl: “I get that a lot. I remind people of their first
cousins. I mean I’ve lived here all my life.”
Me: “Yeah me too.”
In five minutes they leave with their food. The Russian
delivery driver comments, “I think she liked you.”
Me: “How do you know that?”
Him: “It’s an old man thing.”
Me: “I think I have that too.”
Finally off work and back home. I don’t want to speak with
anyone. I want to submerse myself into myself.
Tofu with Broccoli, Snow Peas, Onions, and Rice in Garlic
Sauce.
Watching Blood and Bone (2009) but I turn it off
after fifteen minutes cause I decide it’s not worth my attention.
Fortune cookie says, “He who bravely dares must sometimes
risk a fall.”
Cleaning up the kitchen and doing chores around the house.
Darren offers me a Shine Ruby Redbird Beer (Grapefruit and
Ginger).
Sleep at 3:30 a.m.
