I took the file down 'cos I had to upload some client files to my web server and needed the space. But you can find it on this 2CD set, which is hilarious all the way through:
Friends, All my life I have found that most things annoy me. Not all, just most. I have tried and tried to find a way to live with these things but its gotten harder and harder. I have tried all kinds of therapies and gurus but nothing seems to work.
UNTIL NOW.
People, I have come up with the ultimate solution to this nagging problem. I am proud to tell you about Keith. Keith is, in a word, my world buffer. I met Keith in a local bar called Sherm's last week. I was telling him of my problem and he came up with the idea. Keith has agreed (in exchange for drum lessons --he's in a band called Seward's Folly --he describes their music as "History Rock") to basically float around me (he won't be physically floating, c'mon guys!) and keep an ever watchful eye out for things that he thinks will get under my skin.
We tried this out last night and it went great. Keith would go into each establishment before me and scope things out. He came out of our first choice for a restaurant after a minute and said, "Forget it, they're playing The Strokes and there's a guy wearing a John Deer hat smoking a clove cigarette." Needless to say, we moved on.
And so it went all night. We passed on Pete's Pizza (the pizza flipper had Celtic tattoos);Robot Records (the guy I can't stand from the awful local band The Linus Pancake was working there AND LISTENING --IRONICALLY, I GUESS-- TO THE FIXX); The Rusty Rudder (this asshole who once said I was an asshole was drinking there) and McDonalds (they have posters up for that Xmas shake that I've always hated).
We ended up at Jose's, a cool Mexican place that was thankfully deserted. It was 9:57 and the place was about to close but I could tell that the staff were glad that two cool people were finally eating there. And you know, they'd be right to think that!
So, let me just raise a glass to my number one dude Keith! peace out, Jon 12/15/03 send to friend
