Romancing San Francisco [Chapters 9 and 10 Paranoia]

Paranoia

I've always been excited about the Christmas party, and so assigned the people in my department at work to make me welcome leaflet, so I drew a picture of a drunk fat man with his hair standing up - they all liked it. Meanwhile, Dan was with a number of parties in his home. One evening, a few days before Christmas I was in his apartment were he and his brother to smoke some pot, a couple of things from Mexico. I have too high too quickly out of the pot II think I've had a couple of beers before hand too. I was not really smoked pot, except maybe a shot here and there, but none of it. I mean, I made some serious moves, smoke a good joint with Dan I had never done before.

I then sat in a chair and tried to get back to my senses. Dan knew I was struggling a bit '.

"You good chick?" He asked.

"Not sure, guy ... something that I do not know if I feel like it either," Dan laughed and leaned way back, litanother joint up, - then the brother came, he saw me, said hello, I gave, smile, smile, and he joined his brother to help around the common was smoking.

Jack said Dan, his brother, "Chick continues to look ... In fact, he looked at me now, see?"

Said Dan,

"Do not worry, I think he is going on a bad trip, leave him alone, he will come back to us."

"F * ck no, he looked at me," Jack said. I was stiff, but not for reasons he thought,that is, to fight or cause I was paranoid. He was talking to Dan said he would punch, I moved my head a bit ', Dan and Jack saw, I thought I almost froze to death, and told me that if he did, I'm not sure what I could do, but I had to jump quickly, even if in a kind of panic I have not been realized. Jack was sitting by Dan on the floor, put up by me thinking that he would do something, but not too close. Dan knew that I defend myself if I, It would not be nice, but neither of them knew, like I was frozen in this state of limbo. I could go out of the way quickly enough? And Jack was always paranoid, too. Dan jumped up, grabbed Jack, "Back off, Jack, I do not think the anger talking. If you with it after it comes out, if all goes well, but not so to do."

Jack took a step back and see me to follow his every move, I felt I would try to do what I do, but if I was not playing poker, and Dan knew that it would never end,Dan and I had to put down too much, and I would.

It was two hours, I arrived, and from this trance like stage.

"It is ok, Chick," Dan said.

"Yaw, I'm fine, how about your brother?" Dan knew it was time to clarify things.

"Listen," said he, like his brother was sitting on the floor, smoking another joint, "She could not understand how you were, she is young, you know.

Jack jumped up: "I'm not afraid of him."

"Jack," I said, "I am not the best that dampenedcan do is sit back and let your brother talk, or go to the page with me, and I'm going to kick your ass, you are not a game for me, not now anyway. "

"Chick, if you hold on me," said Dan, adding: "I know it hurt, but I held him, and I apologize for him."

"Dan," I said calmly, "I'll walk, but when it comes to my mind when I put both of them, I will."

"You do not get in the way, nor are we are all friends here, so shakeMani. "Jack did not hesitate, but for some reason did not want to go around, wondering if and when I had to take night drunk and out of control, in short, so go find it.

"Ok, maybe I was a bit 'pushy, I like chicks, I just do not like the look. Ok, let's shake," and reached out his hand and nothing else.

The party

Now, finally, Congress has been here. I quickly washed up at work, and all united in the back room at Lilli Ann, AdolphShuman himself was present, along with Mr. Green, Dan, Mr. Rosenberg, the director, my boss from the London-based Spanish girlfriend of Dan, and the other fifty people. I think when he started the company, said he had no money and expensive gifts. I think it was a long road for him, he started selling clothes in the windows on the air in downtown San Francisco store, then another to lead, and became rich. Not sure how that all went well. He must have had aHead on his shoulders and skills of public relations. No one can easily understand that in this world.

He began to distribute bottles of expensive Scotch, "Here," he said and handed it to me personally. As if he had forgotten who I was - once again. I'd get so mad at me one day told the manager to fire me after trying to say almost, I stammered "DDDDDdoooontt materialsssssss the fall ..." the lost, I think for a moment on this day. I said, "No problem sir ..." and shook his head, roared"Get rid of him, fire him." Well, I do not blame him for mad, I suppose he spent a lifetime trying to build a business, and his name was not what could be better defined "bundle boy" 's, trying to see where else could fit into his company, in fact everything, but I wanted to before it appeared, I thought, but never acted on the promotion. Actually I was doing a bit 'of everything, cutting material, and this and that - not including what they call "bundle boy"Things.

The party went on for a bit ', the food was going to all, and the punch was mixed with a certain type of alcohol is enjoyed at all. The two Spanish women who were like me in the work area with me Mr. Green's eyes again, but I paid little attention, I did not know that problems married couples, but they were nice. Dan and I got a ride home from Colleen, and when we returned to our room, "said Colleen me she moved into the small room. Great I said, not sure why it is kept secretbut so be it. Dan I was mistaken for a bottle of scotch, I do not drink liquor, and he and his brother liked.

It was Friday and I was getting a bit sick, 'so I went to bed early. Colleen came to visit me, see how I was.

"Can I help you?" said he was sitting on my bed, added. "Boy, you're really hot"

I said,

"I'll see you later, when I am better again ..." she replied, "Well, what can you do, you're as hot as a stove, you stay in bed." Andreturned to his room. Around midnight, I landed a knock at his door. She let me in.

"I can not believe back to bed," and I said no, and threw himself into his bed and had sex. "I am a stubborn person," he said - insisting I go back to bed after 45 minutes of sex, and so I did.

Chapter Nine

Mother comes to town

As for another ten days came and went, I remarked, Colleen spend more time in the room of Dan I'm not sure if they have taken, butI also learned that his girlfriend had a full and healthy appearance and Spanish, and I think I was a bit 'jealous, so she, she is Spanish. For some reason I felt that Dan and his girlfriend Colleen threw himself on the two brothers and Dan was always a bit 'nervous.

During this time, Colleen approached me and asked me if I'm going to tell Dan we were just friends, not lovers in the end. I told her I would do this and what they did was their business, but Inot like their attitude, and so our relationship of six weeks, at this point resolved. It was to be seen, I believe that the man was older all the time anyway, they only hunger for those who could get their hands often, and perhaps most, young people prefer the short-term basis, or so it felt and can previously the case. Dan asked if I could talk to his girlfriend Nancy, and I wanted to tell her that Dan was more or less to Colleen, she knew already chased, -Defiance. After cooling, they asked me why I drank so much that Dan had said, that's all I did. I liked it as a good friend, but I did not understand. I simply said that they take care of their own affairs, and go visit Dan, if things are once again edited together, and they did.

Mother's Day

I met her at my house in Dolores Street, took a taxi to the airport - she was happy to see me and I them. I was surprised that they even came, she would stay here in SanFrancisco for a week and then go to my brother in Southern California to see. Maybe it was to see their chance to California, especially San Francisco, a legend in his own right, and everyone knew where Disneyland was the Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev, I think it also went to San Francisco in September l959, couldn t ' resist the city, in fact, went to a supermarket in the city by checking the milk cartons as it had nuclear weapons. And, oh yes, it was in goodold Midwest, Iowa CONTROL for wheat. I'm not sure if it's Minnesota, but if you do not miss the best kept secret in the United States, St. Paul.

As soon as the mother of the aircraft rent-a-car was, it was great, he learned the first time I drive in 7 ½ months. Then we went to his hotel after leaving Dolores Street, was a small motel, but comfortable, but not as small as my room was the only shook his head and I thought it was too small for me. Then we went to eatfirst night with it on Friday. I could not work, because it would hurt two weeks ago, but from work earlier this week, the clock at 3:00, not 4:30 as usual, and took off Monday, give us the rest of Friday, and another three days. She would leave next Thursday evening.

In any event, the Saturday we were only Woods, about twenty miles out of town and were able to see the huge old trees. Then we went to China Town, this evening, my mother, Dan and myself, and bought bothChinese food was good, his brother was not invited because it was not quite so close friends, the more we do not need more places to feed.

Sunday we went to Fisherman's Wharf, and looked at the crabs and Wax Museum. In the evening we went to Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill, from there you could see the bay, with its shadows and lights. And a couple of times we went on the Golden Gate Bridge and a ferry for a boat ride to Alcatraz, which was a nickname called "theRock ", and around the small island of concrete we went. On one of the roofs of buildings on Alcatraz, the word painted in letters hung ALCATRAZ

It was a scary moment in all of this go around, it was at about 5.00 clock on Monday evening, I went to what is known as "Crockett Road, a steep and winding road in San Francisco, and got stuck on it. But that was not the real moment of shock, I went across the street and then another steep, the car almost fell backward,- I had to turn in a lane very slowly, I could see Gravetye was not in our favor, so I made sure that the turning point not too sharp. We could really feel the car begins to swing sideways, as if to roll sideways - off the cliff.

Then we went to "Sammy", where all my friends were drinking and my mother when I sit in a shack, which usually does not, we have a soup - its a Coke and a beer. I challenged everyone, I was so proud of youmeet all my friends. For some reason I bring Goes not meet them, I felt it was a bit 'disappointed me because I went to the practice in some' Karate was. It was about 8:00 clock and the weekend was over - and with Monday a part of it, has made a long time. So we went back to his motel, I slept on the couch. The next morning I returned to work.

The Cliff House

My mother had been asked was the best place to eat in town - wanted to meet me there and I saidknew, but I found the famous square, which was the Cliff House, was on the bay, and was surrounded by gardens, even in the lower left of the building was Seal Rocks, populated by sea lions.

Cliff House had known of all the pictures on the walls. We sat overlooking the giant waves hit the rocks below us. I ordered beef, when it came, I had four little slices of I looked for a minute, not knowing whether to cry, laugh or get angry. My mother saw him andWe started to laugh. I think a hamburger at McDonald's was twice as much meat, but ate none-the-less, they paid the bill outrageous, and we walked around a bit ', we think in possession of the place, or at least I did. It 'been a good time, a good week.

It 'was a good as good as it got better, if not great week, I see them going on Thursday hated, but she did, and I knew that my brother Mike was eager to take his Disneyland in California, and so new job but it was still a surprise. Come
