Ouzo the feel good maker
School’s over for winter break there’s no excuse. I really need to get this natural disaster of my room cleaned and now. I have been bad ignoring the trusty to do list of mine. Feeding the face of that monster dubbed the conquistador of chaos. I see my room has been hit by a tornado. It’s time to not allow my guitar to gently weep, the floor needs sweeping.
Last night I went to my assistant manager’s first open house. (She’s the one that stood up for me against my very loco manager who went ape shit on me, really for no reason.) Other than the fact she introduced me as “Dick” at the door to some of the other patrons it went well. I brought a bottle of Rodney Strong Pinot Noir. I jammed with her son who is learning the bass, mingled with some co-workers and drank some Ouzo. This lady Lyn who used to work in my department was there and she divulged one little unknown office secret (only unknown to me.) The assistant manger of Revenue (she’s only a year older than I, about 25 her initials KO) has store bought tits!!!??? Now that I think about it…I should have known. Really as I type this I guess it’s not that interesting gossip. But if it’s the only nugget of dark office hush hushes I can uncover than I’ll take it. I noticed that KO has the perfect body and in stupid dude speak…do I dare go there??? Why not? If a person’s advantage in this world is one that was bought in a store and just the fact that that would be the one part of themselves they would choose to better enhanced whatever you want to call it…then perhaps a little subjective viewing is what they are after. So I let another office worker do the speaking for me. A guy named David who used to work with me called her a “but-her face.” That’s evil guy talk for her body is great but-her face…He said, “Look at her, she has a perfect petite body but she has a double chin.” I had never noticed that before but in fact KO has a double chin. See that’s just what I’m talking about. I noticed she had a big chest, but didn’t think to associate it with being fake. I never noticed she had a double chin, but then I did after David told me. I wonder if I lack observation??? Or am I better at observing the person? I basically met KO and probably thought oh…pretty girl with a perfect body. Then my judgment went strait into personality observation. She was just a chill person, she doesn’t think she is very smart, she loves to send e-mails with little picture thingies, she likes photography, she likes big SUVs, (which I hate and have in fact written a song about) she’s a girl you could shoot the shit with but of course corporate culture gets in the way of having any real juicy discussion. Her actions were dictated by the man she was dating for three years and was engaged to. I noticed two years ago that one day the pictures of her and her ex were off of her cubicle walls. I asked David, is KO fighting with her boyfriend? Of course he didn’t make that observation, but I did! And she was fighting with him. A person is a person and there are so many things to appreciate. I wonder if I’m in the belly of beast of a culture that really seeks no further than the surface. Hey I guess that’s not that sad…if that’s true I can go down to the nearest store and buy me some new features today (guys can actually get calf implants.) In an article Mike Skinner from The Streets said that, in your youth you need to look and feel as sexy as possible. Now is the time to do that, I couldn’t agree more. Notice he said you have to “feel” sexy. It’s that feeling you can’t buy...But it’s also that feeling you can’t take away no matter what clothes of store bought features you’re wearing. I also wish I had that feeling…maybe I should drink a little more Ouzo.
