A Wake-Up Call

Posted on 04:00 by Unknown
“There’s nothing worse than bitterness and revenge.”
-PERSEOPOLIS
2007 French/American animated film based on the novel by
Marjane Satrapi who grew up in Tehran, IRAN

Twenty-five years ago today:

April 10, 1987
Friday

At 6AM the phone rang. It was Jeff Sombat calling from Hawaii.
“Hi, I thought I’d give you a wake-up call.”
He’s too much!

There is still no word from Eileen. The hell with her! I just wonder how I will get my camera back that I left at her place.
I recalled saying to my mom, “If I don’t hear from her within thirty days I’ll just go over there and get it!”
I will have to wait and see what happens.

I caused an uproar of shock in the office yesterday.
I said, “I’m on a diet.”
I guess everyone thinks I don’t need to be on one.

I take back those words about waiting thirty days. That period of time would be too long and I have decided to call Eileen on Monday night to discuss my camera.
I plan to ask Eileen: “Don’t you think it’s time we talked?”
Then I will let her in on my planned trip to Sacramento and how I want and need my camera. I must have my camera!

Friday night was all right. I telephoned Frank and he ‘faced’ me for the night.
He said, “I have to clean and can’t make it tonight.”
I thought, “Hogwash! If he thinks I’ll commit to another day he’d better think twice.”

I ended up going to mom and dad’s and watched a movie starring Yvette Mimieux and Sam MacCorkindale called OBSESSIVE LOVE….or was that on Saturday night? Yes, it was…On Friday night I ‘hit the hay’ early. I did some reading, took a shower and simply slept soundly.

“Singing about your heartache could be very therapeutic.”
-KYLE-XY, Season II
