The sexually awkward video game moments almost overtook Booth Babes, but not quite.

Interesting story, and welcome back. Why do u have jobs that dont require an education? U'r a smart guy (I think?). And the US is the land of opportunities.

What's it mean that u 'wait tables'?

Btw, how did u get robbed?

Welcome back. I am sorry you got robbed.

Oh man I love Norm McDonald.

@Kantor, oh daaaaaaaaaamn. I better write some more sexy news then to stay on top.

What was great was he told that joke on Conan... so the bit took forever.

@Slimebeast, I'm in California, which has an unemployment rate of over 11 or 12% or something crazy by now, and it's still growing, even faster than the rest of the country. Everybody with college degrees here are looking for really bad jobs, and competing with several hundred candidates that are overqualified. It's ridiculous. I'm hoping I can get a job that uses my degree, eventually, but I picked a stupid degree that only qualifies me to analyze/criticize/curate film, so I basically need to work at a magazine or a museum or something, and those aren't really hiring.

In America waiting tables means the same thing as serving tables.

Both times I got robbed I wasn't there. In the Oakland apartment I had a really stupid roommate who I guess was letting a bunch of sketchy homeless friends come over to party all the time, and she's also so dumb she would leave the door UNLOCKED in Oakland. So it's entirely her fault, and she deserved to get robbed. They stole tons of her stuff, and all they stole from me was my computer. But that really sucked because it was the one thing I had that wasn't replaceable. It had 9 years of photography, poetry, diaries, and tons of other junk.

In San Francisco, I had some ghetto storage unit in the basement, and somebody broke in and all they took was a roommate's mannequin, and my 5-string banjo.

At first, I was like: "HEY Rubang's back! Let the party begin!!"


Now, I'm like: "I should hug my mother and tell her I love her."


You've been through hell, man. It's a little depressing. Glad to see you back, though.

Fuck that. LET THE PARTY BEGIN!

Or as my good friend Chris used to say when he was drunk: "LET THE COMMENCING BEGIN!" We never found out what it meant. But we'd commence something. Usually NBA Jam.

How's everything on your side of the internet?

@Rubang

Thanks for sharing. R u feeling low/depressed, or u in a good mood despite all of this?


@d21lewis

Same question to u (with regards to the personal issues seem to have been hinting at recently).

I'm always in a good mood. I don't have any crummy roommates anymore, so I can sit around on the internet naked, and do dishes naked. I'm free at last! And I still have a camera and can pull another 9 years of photography and poetry out of my ass.
