Gripes of the Ghostman

Column 6, Volume 2

GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS

Zebra Cheese??? Yes Net-Warriors, ZEBRA CHEESE! HA HA HA! I love it! A dream I had had since my senior year of high school has finally come true. To have a site of my own and have it called Zebra Cheese! I'll admit, I was a very messed up individual in high school. Let's not get into it.

The point is friends, is that I now hold dominion over a web-site. This is too cool! I finally have some of the power I so richly crave and deserve!

I want all of you who are reading this column to post a message on the singles board if you are single. Why be lonely alone when you could lonely with a member of the opposite sex (or same sex. Hey, whatever turns you on!)?

I think I might be getting a new girl friend within a week! Camel's (brother to P.F.C., and homey to yours truly. P.F.C. one of my best friends since 8th grade) girlfriend Shades has a lonely, desperate, single friend. Shades wants to introduce me to her. Hell, if Shades' friend is half as lonely and desperate as she says she is, I've got an honest shot!

Should I ruin my mood by telling you why I'm upset at my boss at The Bear? Might as well. My boss, who I'll call The Boss, in essence told me a few days ago to quit my job at Video Stop or be fired! So it is with heavy heart, that I have put in my two weeks notice at Video Stop.

It was a fun run while it lasted. I will miss it. Working for a video store is power! I know all the men and women who rent adult movies. From the Wormy Male to the Unashamed Female. I've seen all types of porn renters. I love them all

.

Any way, I had a job interview at 11:00 AM in Flint so I can get on the air. The Boss pissed me off so bad, he motivated me to look for work in the industry elsewhere.

Let's crack into a ten list! Here are the ten cassettes (not CD's) that I have most recently acquired.

  1. The X-Files Soundtrack - Various Artists.
  2. "Your Arsenal" - Morrissey.
  3. Ophelia - Natalie Merchant.
  4. Sixteen Stone - Bush.
  5. Information Society - Information Society.
  6. Girl You Know It's True -Milli Vanilli.
  7. Remanufacture (Cloning Technology) - Fear Factory
  8. The Best vol. 1 - The Smiths.
  9. Pale - Toad The Wet Sprocket.
  10. The Beavis and Butt-Head Experience - Various Artists.

Since we're on the subject of Toad The Wet Sprocket, I want to officially say how crappy it is that they broke up! Still, Death Car and I used to always listen to Toad together. Then we became no more. Then a month later, Toad breaks up! COINCIDENCE??? Probably.

Camel and I saw the movie BASEketball yesterday (7-31-98). I expected crap but there was one scene I wanted to see (the one about fat from Marlon Brando's butt), so I sprung for a ticket. I tell you what, when you leave a comedy movie, barely able to walk because your sides hurt from laughing so much, you know you've seen a quality comedy movie!

The film helped alleviate my mood after the break up. Still I'm feeling some pain. One thing I've tried to do to alleviate my pain is to hang out with my friends. One thing I've gained from that is that when you're only half paying attention to things, words take on a whole new meaning.

These following ten sentences have been taken out of context. But hell, even in proper context, these things sound wrong! By the way, Shades contributed most of these sentences.

  1. I'm no good in heat.
  2. You're already getting a date from your Mom.
  3. Save some of those logs for later.
  4. I'll eat one of those for a buck
  5. I never touch my own cheeks.
  6. His mom won't let me move wood.
  7. He didn't want to play by himself.
  8. It's hot and sticky.
  9. Try harder next time.
  10. I have to go cut some wood.

See what I mean? Those ten sentences, which if your mind is in the gutter (which I'm sure for most of you out there it is!), sound really bad.

Ah well. I hope you enjoy your lives Net-Warriors, I know I don't! Do come again.
