| What you are about read may be inappropriate for folks who 's assholes
are soo tight, that if you shoved a lump of coal up their ass, in two weeks
you'd have a diamond! Enter with caution: look both ways before you cross
over into another one of Syd's Highs. This one is the Balls- Out, in- your-face,
and straight-up same gang mentality I use in day-to-day life. There are too
many melting pots full of rules/and restrictions that restrict our own intellect
and open-minded thinking to becoming a peaceful and harmonizing people. I
am no one special, promise. I am however going to share my local hangouts
in Westwood. My totally different places and people I interact with and how
I build relationships through purchase loyalty. These are not bars or clubs
where my friends hang out. This is the 100% prime time high of hangouts.
Hold on to those hats and glasses. The people I give props to in this section
are comin' up Sick with pure people power. I hangout and pop in for one
reason.... they light up my day!!!
I hate to admit it but not only are my boyfriend and I avid movie renters......... we are TOP RENTER'S! Yes, we have the Hollywood Video Platinum Rental card. We are customers who frequent the place quite often and are on a first name basis with the staff.
Hollywood Video is one of my hangouts because of the crew. Greg was, is and forever will be the DAINKETY-DANK of managers, but he leads by example. The whole gang of people they have working in there are sooo cool. When I am walking by i will pop my head in to say, "hey!" It is a place where you like to come. Tuesday is new release day, always there! They will hold movies for me, now that is service! The best thing about my video store is they have SOUR STRAWS watermelon. We are talking a grip-o-straws for like $1.25. What a good buy..... GOOD-BYE to the waistline. I have to tell you my friends do have one opportunity. I do not ever ask them for their fave selections. I have in the past and gotten either a) a swag-ass stupid look or b) #1 most unsatisfactory answer = I don't watch movies. I almost had a conniption fit. What kind of answer is that? Then I met Tracey. This gal is the info station. I really bragged about her and what a fine job she does at the store. I also tattled on the ones who were mute and anti- movie. I thought all was well when those 2 loser employees left . I was wrong. I was screwed. All my respect and overall belief in the video system industry was floored. Screw who? screw you! i say. I felt slided as I stood in awe with my mouth wide open and my welcome mat pulled out from under me. Did you guess what happened? CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Tracey was promoted to a new store out in the valley. I wish her the best in her future. Please bow for a moment of silence........ what do you get your favorite video store employee for a gift? All I know I will miss her smiling face there. If those valley folk aren't nice i will put them straight. Tracey... U R the BOMB!!! Keep it up! There are always funny moments, even in a video store. Pete, he works at a juice bar, was at the video store with his girlfriend. It doesn't sound bad. Well that is because you weren't there 2 days prior when he asked me out. He had flowers and was so nice but, he is only 19 and i have a boyfriend. YADDA YADDA YADDA! He regretted to mention he had a girlfriend. When he looked at me he turned white as a ghost! I swear he looked so scared. I am pointing him out to Z. We were fucking with him, man. Walk by and smile or open our mouths like we are about to spill the beans. I have never seen a young boy sweat so much. They were not there long and we never told. That is not our style. It was payment enough to see that "deer stuck in the headlights" look exuding from his face. I wish I had a picture of that......... worth a 1000 words! MY moral of the story = Do what you love and love what you do!
Not my all time 5 but these are some great flicks. |
