A scale of economies

Sunday was to be a day for work.True to her promise(from last night when we were out) Allure and her girlfriend Carla called at 9am to get my ass out of bed and to work at the jobsite. We had a tournament take over the fields yesterday, on a perfect day to get some work done. Well halfway into town the sky gave it's promised rain on our windshield wipers, so I just dropped over to their house to leave the girls some tools.Now ,Allure has taken to heavy construction like a natural.What a champ.Last summer when she showed up ,she seemed to be about average but I think she would rather run a crew than stand up naked in front of a bunch of strangers and shake it like a polaroid picture. And her girlfriend is pretty good herself.
A change of clothes in their bathroom and I headed out for a day of nothing to do but catch up with friends. My first stop was the warehouse district around Howell Mill rd., you see, I've got a plan for using a warehouse in the empire building process, and have they got space available, some even with apartments already there for the owner/ occupant.Sixteen streets and back alleys later, the next stop was Joel and his wife, a couple that was meant for each other. At one time they had broken up during their courtship and hadn't spoken for months.The reason being they were both in their 30's and he hadn't proposed in 1 1/2 years and she wanted kids.He wouldn't commit cuz he was still trying to figure out where he was going.After a while a " person "took him aside and told him he was never going to find anyone better, sweeter and more devoted to him than that girl.He agreed and campaigned hard to win back her heart and suceeded.She didn't make it to easy for him, she shouldn't, and when he proposed in the summer of 03 at the Barnsley gardens, they both called that advice giver before anyone else in their families.And that person was best man at the wedding.
But life can be unfair to even those meant to be together.Having suceeded in becoming with child they lost the baby at 3 months.This was recently and she has been devastated.She did everything right and is in perfect health, but it can happen.Now on the other side in life's little game, Nina in New Orleans has done everything wrong and she is pregnant at 3 months. The father was a real peice of work and they trifled in every excess they could and couldn't afford.But with all the charm of a layabout with no real potential he suceeded in bedding her in Seattle and then having her pay for his ticket to New Orleans where his two week stay lasted for months and he got comfortable enough to physically intimidate her while sitting around the house and complaining when he wasn't playing his guitar,x-box or computer.
Her father, a sad peice of crap himself,actually got some stones and drove across the State of Florida, risking arrest for probation violations(wow ,I need to write about him, girls like this either go for their father or the emasculated version of a man), and showed up at the door and told him his daughter had already bought a one way ticket back to Seattle for him.He could go out the door on his legs or by his hair, it made no difference to him.Her dad is a still a competetive kickboxer,full contact.Long story short, slacko found himself on a plane back to the 2nd most anti anything decent city in America.Good riddance. But then Nina found out she was pregnant with slacko'os baby and vows never to tell him.Smoke, drink, do drugs,fuck around and baby comes out healthy, grows up, writes tell all book, lifetime channel movie, retires to Hawaii and paints on the beach while hobnobbing with Brad Pitt and Jack Nicohlson.
Then, yes its still Sunday, I roll over to Lenox and catch up with Chen si'ya.Mixing the coffe beans At Star***.By the way, if anyone tells you the economy is bad they are not leaving their house.To much Maury Povich watching, not enough working.Lenox has been packed with shoppers every time I go there, okay maybe a couple of weeks after Christmas it was a little dead, but after that sheesh.Chen si'ya was actually so sick she didn't join the gang out Saturday night and begged off.Today ,I found her no better, but working with that gravel voice everyone had last week,being a trooper and running around the store.After a cup of joe I could tell she was sinking and went up to the CVS and bought her my follwing prescription for whats been going around:1) Cold-eze, pure magic,2)Thera-flu, feel good in a box,3)Listerine, old-school mediciny style every 4 hours, 4) A good magazine(Maxim),real babes dig it.By that time it was time to head home and contemplate world domination on a county by county basis.
