Haircuts and Headlights

I’ve been doing the whole “living paycheck to paycheck” thing for about 4 years now, and let me tell you, it’s only half a picnic. I do enjoy having a steady income, but it’s not enough money to actually enjoy it and do things I want to do, like travel and buy expensive bike parts and drink beer that doesn’t cost $2 and comes in a can.

Ok, I’d still do that last one even if I had more money, and so would you so YEAH SHUT UP.

I’m going to be starting a new gig soon - slanging drinks and food at this new spot in North Beach on nights. I’m hoping that I can turn it into a full time deal so I can leave my desk-jockey job and start enjoying days again. Plus I’d be making more money at the bar than I do at my current soul sucking job, so 1up for that.

With this change in vocation/situation looming, I’m going to use my next paycheck to get a few things I desperately need. First and foremost, I’m going to get a damn hair cut. I’m starting to look like I’ve turned gnargle, which is just plain unacceptable and gross and no wonder I’m single. Just…no. Then I’m going to buy some water proof pants so when it “rains” I don’t show up to work (or anywhere) looking like I fell into a fountain or spilled soda all over my thighs. HOT. Last, I’m going to buy my 5th headlight for my bike, because I got my last one jacked at Four Barrel. I’ll tell you one thing, that shit wouldn’t happen at Ritual, that’s for sure. Coffee snobs are dicks.
