Gotta Post Somthing...

Because the damn election is coming tomorrow. Super Tuesday and Litigation Wednesday.I'll post my real posts after the election, maybe audio during my wait to vote tomorrow. What have I got going on? Mind numbing work coupled with crippling headaches. I have severe migraines. Anyway more on the rest of my life. This weekend was so fucking slammed at Menages Club, over 400 people at one time in the building. Tickets were almost 100 bucks a pop. So I ended up on "security" detail. Now I'm not a "security" type guy, and I hate the word "bouncer". I basically coordinate things to the security guys and the other employees , most of whom worked for me for 5 years or more in other clubs, so I know what to expect. I had everyone armed , and we had the night vision / binoculars etc., in case there was a surprize halloween invasion. You can't pat people down, especially with the kind of volume we have. And the clintele we cater to would be offended and run off or afraid of the club. So we had valets carrying guns, the doorman , myself and various other friends I had brought in. We also had 65,000 volt stun guns, pepper spray, baseball bats, brass knuckles , any kind of detterent you could think of. Now usually we have guns, but we "upgrade" from the smaller concealble guns to full sized .357 glocks, 9mm's , and twelve gauges. You never know what these folks will do. Robbing a club like ours would yeild way more than the average convenience store / even small bank robbery.So we take extra precautions on days like this. In a way I think it's overkill.But who knows. Ever since I "relinqushed" my power in the club industry, I still find myself running shit from the back, because the club shit just gets in your blood.And now Shawn's sister in law in Arkasas broke her spinal cord in a bad accident, so it looks like he is going to be in and out , which means I'll be looking after his interest and talking on the phone to make sure he has it all covered. I never thought years ago when he used to come visit my club I'd end up being on the other end speaking to him and advising my friend on how to run his business. It's weird to end up "reversing roles" , especially with your friend. Oh well, I guess at least Shawn remembers the old days well enough to trust my judgement. He learned a lot, and now my "prodogy" is doing better than me , at least careerwise. There are expan sion plans in the future, so I may be back "in" again . When I left the industry , I did so for the right reasons. And I went back into "semi retirement" and stepped back in because my people needed me. So I've kind of been back the past two years, but still denying any real "power" . Time will tell. Well I guess I gotta work out.Get some sleep, do whatever . At least I have been having good dreams lately.
Dreaming about when I was running everything, except in my dreams was making up for every mistake I ever made , being harder on my enemies , and crushing everyone in my way who opposed me in my career. Not that I didn't do a lot of "crushing" in the past.Just not as much as I liked to . They didn't call me the godfather for nothing.Think about that ...
