I can't help but feel partly responsible for the death of Ray Charles, and no, I am not proud. You see, I think a large part of the man's soul had to be destroyed by Michael Bolton covering "Georgia on my Mind". One of my deep dark secrets is that I was responsible for the artist formerly known as Bolotin recording his version. You see, when I was fifteen years old and working in the old Stamford Town Centre Sam Goody, Michael came in shopping. If memory serves me right, he first bought a keyboard for his daughter (which I had nothing to do with), then needed some help finding a tape. Most of the starstruck goofs I worked with were intimidated or awestruck by the mullet headed bozo, but I knew that the MOR crap he put out was horrible even at a young age, so I went right up to him. I think people were actually a little nervous I might tell him what I thought of his pablum, but I was professional. Anyhow, the tape he was looking for was Ray Charles, and I directed his sorry middleaged lady wooing ass directly to it. If I could go back in time, that might be the first thing in my life I would change. That or running over that damn brick.

It's hard to do things like, get out of work on time or get to sleep at night, or post in your livejournal when you get obsessed with playing poker online. I have played over a dozen tournaments in the last two days. At least I have only been playing with play money... so far. It has been another busy weekend, Yale has two weekends of reunions a year now, it probably isn't the best thing in the world that I have been both walking dead (I've had a headache since Thursday, did I mention that?), and distracted a lot more than usual by my laptop. With all that on my plate, I did still have time to have a discussion or two with Steve, the world's stupidest man. Like during one lull on Saturday... Steve: I found a room for rent listing in Seymour for $85 a week. Me: So? S: It's probably in a private home though. Me: So? S: I wouldn't want to live in a private home, the people would always be in your business. Me: Well, if you weren't a hooker fucking low-life it wouldn't be such a big deal. S: Yes, I like to bring my whores home. Today I caught him cutting out pictures of women in underwear from J.C.Penny and Kohl's ads. He looked a little despondent, so I tried to figure out what was wrong. Me: Steve, what's wrong? S: I'm just miserable. Me: How can you possibly be miserable with a pocket full of pictures of women wearing nothing but on-sale lingerie? S: It's not real, I want a titty in my mouth. Sometimes, there are just no words to help a person through their despondency.
