The nucleus of a vacuum


glad to be alive.

before i further kick my ride into the curb, let me just say some positive things about "mateo." yeah, that's his name, alright. inspite all his shortcomings, i finally saw something in him that other high end vehicles can't do. like, i can actually drive recklessly with it and not worry getting it dented or scratched. so, if i wanna park it rear first, i don't have to worry if i fortuitously bump it on somebody else's car or on the wall. heck, even head first! no biggy (it actually happened a lot times, bro). no repairs necessary.

not only that, i can park it anywhere unsafe. leave the windows open. car thieves wouldn't wanna risk doing my car. and if some "atras, abante" kid or ex-con offers to watch my car while parking, i can fairly say yes but leave them to rot behind. i'm not paying you dumb asses! it doesn't matter if they'd scratch it next time... i'll just say, "off that rust, baby!"

needless to say, if i accidentally crash it or it gets stolen (god forbid, i still value mateo and me life too!), it wouldn't hurt so much. i just have to content myself with that famous adage "every car has it's day." don't ask me where i got that.... plezzz

moving on....
while i successfully brought my boom-box (with mateo displaying his usual tantrums) to beach roots and had the loudest music in our area, we just couldn't bring the "magic" we once had a few months back. bars are sprouting and popping like popcorn in the area. competition is stiff these days that every bar has to come up with some gimmick to stay on the race. you blink and you could be gone.

that's just how it is these days. the fact that we could not surpass or even just equal that huge feat we accomplished before, made me sad. but that's the reality. we just can't have all the good things in life. as thomas uttered weeks ago, "i'm spreading the butter." he could not have said it more beautifully. (you'd know if you've been reading current events). yeah, the butter's pretty spread now. we've reach saturation point.

guess no matter how good we are, somebody else will always be better.

i think i'm gonna cry now...

bwehihihihi! cheesy.
bragging aside, we earned pretty decent that night. even on other nights, i think we manage to sustain our core customers. i reckon, it would be hard to leave pretty guys like us just like that. in fact, other neighboring bars envy us to death! that's because we are the bar to beat, capish –ese??

bar braggart out.
