POOP

So it was the end of my shift and I started sweeping the floor when I came across something gross.  Here is a picture of what I saw

So now I'm grossed out because there was a lot of it behind the counter.  So I called my boss and told her: "I think we have a mouse or mice because I found a lot mice poop on the floor".  Then I said "actually I think it might be a rat because the poop is so big".  First she said "get down and smell it" but she was only kidding and then she told me to take a picture (above) and send it to her.  After receiving the picture she asked where it was located so I told her in the corner behind the counter.  She then said "is it by the coffee machine?"  I said yes and then felt very stupid.  She told me earlier that day someone spilled COFFEE BEANS on the floor and apparently missed some.  Only me, but it does make a funny story, doesn't it?

Days Of Our Lives First Gay Kiss

I have been watching Days Of Our Lives for many many years.  I am so happy they FINALLY have gay characters.  Sonny, the already out, happy and accepted character and Will, the guy struggling to come to terms with being gay.  It is  such a nice contrast having both on.  Hopefully they will be the next super couple!!!

Here is a video I took from my iPhone on the historic first gay kiss on DOOL.
In this video is Will on the right played by Chandler Massey and Neil played by Jesse Kristofferson. Sonny, played by Freddie Smithis the one catching Will:

This is only a part of the scene.  The longer version is too big to upload but i'm sure you can find it on YouTube.com

This is such an important story to tell and so far the writers have done it justice and I look forward to watching Will's journey to "find" himself and be happy who he is in a society that can be so hateful and the same society that can be so accepting.  Everyone's journey is so different and here's hoping Days Of Our Lives continues to  tell his story in a way that's truthful but yet, still soap-like.

My Birthday Dinner

So, March 20th is my birthday and my brother picked the restaurant this year.  In attendance was my father, my mother, my brother, his girlfriend and her daughter Ashley.  We went to a Japanese Hibachi Grill where they cook your food right in front of you.  I've been to one before but never at this place located in Forked River, NJ.  I think it was called Fuji.  The experience is always great depending on the "cook".  This one was excellent and kept laughing at his own jokes LOL  But the funniest parts of the evening was when the cook referred to my mom as "momma-son" and my dad as "pappa-son".  I was just birthday boy.  But then the waitress kept referring to my dad as Grandpa.  We were all cracking up.  Most people would just say sir or ma'am but not the Japanese I guess.  

At the beginning of the dinner Ashely took the waitress its my birthday and I have to wear "the hat".  I had no idea what this meant until it was time.  So the waitress comes out with a japanese style hat (that she placed on my perfectly done hair ) and a GONG and everyone starts singing:

happy birthday to you GONG

happy birthday to you GONG...

you get the point...of course everyone around us was staring but after the GONG birthday song they play a "happy birthday" song over the loud speaker where EVERYONE could hear and stare at me.  Do I love the attention...kind of but still a little embarrassing.  Before is a picture my brother took:

overall it was a great experience and a terrific birthday dinner with my family!
Oh the birthday candle was in a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
