Hanging at Jerry D’s

My friend Traci took me to a biker bar in Dacono, CO called Jerry D's last night. She loves places like that. I had so much fun. I love getting together with her. I don't do it near enough. The bar has their menus printed on barf bags. Nice touch. I had a huge beef/bean burrito. Tasty. They also have a real old jukebox. I hadn't had a beer since Christmas Eve. The four I had put a nice buzz on me. We were going to minigolf, but we lost track of time. Not a bad evening. I finally got to see where she lives. She's lived there over 4 years and I've never been to her house. The sad thing is, she only lives a few miles away from where I work. She showed me her kart that she races. No way would I ever get in one of those contraptions. I also got to see the one that her friend Andy got really messed up in. Totally mangled wreck. Scary.

I went to work right after, as I couldn't see the point of driving all the way home, getting a few hours sleep, and wasting the gas money driving all the way back. I couldn't get started until they got the store closed up, so I talked to a guy named Matt to catch up on all the Fed. Heights store gossip. Man, I don't miss working with all those people at all. It's amazing that nothing has really changed in the 8 months since I had talked to any of them.

Well, classes on Monday again, and I don't really want to go. The whole experience will be an excercise in futility. I know I'm not going to gain a great amount of education in just four more weeks. Sad things is, I was so full of excitement and yearning just a little over a year ago. Now I know I need to find my fulfillment somewhere else and finishing this crap I started is just a necessary evil. Oh, well.

I guess I'm off to help Marcus pull some weeds.
