Sparkling

This morning I woke up and got ready to go whore myself out to my corporate pimp. That's pretty much what I do every morning. That's how I think it about anyway. It's really pretty negative.

So this morning I took a long hot shower and thought about why I do things like this? The easy answer is that it's for the money. But the money isn't all that great. I'm always broke and owing people money no matter how much I make. It's just the way it is with me I suppose. I really didn’t come up with anything? I guess I'm just a ho'.

I did see Mary lugging a giant pile of clean laundry upstairs this morning. She’s been very domesticated lately. I’ve just been coming home and playing Revenge of The Sith until I pass out. She’s been cleaning the house and doing all the cooking.

At any rate I saw her folding laundry and she looked so beautiful and natural that I went up gave her big old kiss. Like, a boyfriend kiss not the usual I’m-off-to-work-seeya-dollface husbandy kisses. She said my eyes were sparkling. It made me think that despite how arduous and stupid our last few years have been, it’s all worth it for those quite moments just between my wife and me.
