   "There's something about blue. Asked myself what it's all for, you know the funny thing about it I couldn't answer, no I couldn't answer. Things have turned a deeper shade of blue and images that might be real may be illusion, keep flashing off and on.
    Everything is clearer now. Life is just a dream you know, that's never ending." - Yoko Kanno

   Ah, summer. The days are just packed with fun and recreational pool sharking. What? They closed my pool hall! Damn, this means I have to get a real job this summer. As it so happens I am currently working for The Paris Family Fun center putting in a go-cart track. This job promises long hours and the opportunity to get a tan the old fashion way, by sweating in the sun or in my case the opportunity to get a nice sunburn before returning to a pasty white. I spend most of my days now cutting and carrying 20 ft. pieces of steel and then bolting them to old tires to make a border around the cement track. And, while the work is not amongst the most fun I have ever had in my life, I can say without a doubt that it is better than working in the food industry. At my present employment I only have to deal with my boss and co-worker in the sun. The poor people that are forced to work in fast food, yes I sympathize with you having been there myself, have to endure day after day of catering to the vast population of idiots that run rampant in society  today. That being said I’m going to end this post with a few words of wisdom,    “If at first you don’t succeed, then sky diving isn’t for you.”
