Sometimes in the morning I get goofusy. Just... happy and energyful.

At work you can often smell the food the Cordon Bleu chefs are making.

I walked into work and clocked in and said good morn to Sylvia.

me: The air is chilly and smells like bacon. Just how I like my weather.
Sylvia: (she smiles) Bacon, huh? You know, Ty, you are what you eat.
me: That's strange. I don't think I've eaten any sexy beasts lately.
Sylvia: (laughs) I love you.
me: (I walked up to her and put my hands on her shoulders, looking deep into her eyes) I can't, no I won't hush. I'll say the words that make you blush. (I start swaying her) I'm gonna siiiinng this nooowooowooow.
Sylvia: (I raise her hand in mine and she spins underneath, before pushing me away, laughing)
me: (I hand-drum on the door frame as she grabs car keys) (I'm smiling cause she's still smiling) We bring the stars out. (she tosses me the keys and I raise them as if to say 'thanks') We bring the women and the cards and the CARS out.

The greatest thing about this vid.. random audience-woman-person in the background.

woman we'll call Babs: Oh, I'm going to see John Lennon tonight! I should bring a blindfold. I could get some knitting done.

Hahah, truly love that. This one's for you Babs. (bumps fist on chest twice before making a peace sign, gangsta-style) Skills & respect, yo, skills & respeckity spect.

I'd put on a nice button-up shirt for the day.
Just to do it. It's nice sometimes.

Two hours of sleep the night before.
The day was ending.

My phone went off. A text.
My fake cousin had hurt her back.
She needed to go to the Emergency Room.

"Are you sure? I'm out in Duarte."

When she got in the car she grimaced.
She buckled up, "I like your shirt."
"Yeah?" I smiled. "I wore it just for you."
She laughed. It was nice to hear her laugh.

She looked down at my book. "Smart. I wish I had one."
"Actually..." I removed it from beneath my book, "you do." I handed her the play.
She gasped. "I've been wanting to read this!"
I smiled, steering us off the freeway exit, lights passing overhead.
"You..." she looked at me, hugging it tightly. "I'll read it and get it back to you fast"
I shook my head. "It's yours."
She smiled so widely. The kind of reaches-your-eyes smile.

I waited in the Emergency Room, hands turning the pages of my book, my phone on my knee. She text me updates from inside. She didn't now how long she'd be. There had been the possibility she might need surgery that night.

We left a few hours later. She was gonna be surgery-free okay.

Before she got out of my car, she turned to me
"You have to work in a few hours?"
"Me? Naaah."
She smiled. "You do. Ty... Let's meet up? We always say we're gonna get together and then don't." She hugged me. "Let's not 'don't' ?"
I laughed. "We won't 'don't'. "

I waited until she was safely inside before pulling away.
She was so sweet. People are wonderful.

You know how sometimes people don't tell others things because they don't want to hurt their feelings? If I ask you guys something, will you be honest with me?

Do I look like a drug dealer?
Really.

It's my messed up teeth isn't it?
(covers mouth)

I was at work the other day and a guy came up to me, paused, then under his breath told me that he had a friend who was coming into the hotel and that he needed some help unloading some of stuff. He shifted a little and before I answered he leaned in and said, some drugs.
me: Some drums?
him: Uhm. Yeah.
me: Sure. Just pull up to the front of the hotel. It shouldn't be a problem.

And he just kind of stood there staring at me for a moment before he turned and left. It took me a moment to realize what he'd said.

But you guys (hangs head), this isn't the first time.

A while back I was in the cereal aisle at the grocery store with a friend. (lol of all places) A guy neared and I heard "Hey." I looked up and he was standing there. He spoke so low I almost didn't hear him, "Do you know where I can get so..." and his voice trailed out. I didn't realize what he meant. Without thinking I asked louder in hopes he would speak up too, "Some what?" His eyes got big and he backed up and disappeared around the aisle end.

I was completely mystified. My friend later told me he was asking for drugs.
me: "Naah."
"Didn't you see the way his eyes were darting all over the place?"
"Uhm, he was just taking in the sights?"
"In a grocery store cereal aisle?"
"Well, maybe he really likes cereal."
"Tyler, you're just gonna have to own up to the fact that you're a swanky drug pimp?"
"But.. what if I don't wanna be a swanky drug pimp?"
"Hey, some people work hard for that title."
I laughed. "My bad. I meant... all my dreams have finally come true."

Tell me it isn't true, you guys.

for you.. http://soundcloud.com/denouementspage/i-used-to-be-a-sparrow-life-is

Tis girl scout cookie season....
I went girl-scout-cookie huntin'. :D
Chocolatey goodness that is mine.

Tonight I was supposed to go see The Hunger Games...
Fern: I don't think we're gonna be able to go.
me: We are.
Fern: They're sold out everywhere.
me: We are.
Fern: No one has tickets, Ty.
me: We are.
Fern: (laughs) We are tickets?
me: Yes. (hops on my phones, and does some clickety clicking) What time?
Fern: 8:thirty. We're not.
me: 8:thirty, AMC........ got 'em. (looks up and grins) We are.
Fern: (wide-eyed) We are?
me: (shows her the confirmation email) We are.
Fern: (she was silent but she got this wide-eyed, excited look on her face that just... made my night)

I read the book a couple years ago, so I'm hoping I won't remember enough to the point where differences won't bother me. BUT I got a text from someone I hadn't talked to in ages that I had given the books to as a gift and they said "I wish I hadn't seen it so I could go see it all over again fresh. It was so good!!!", so I'm hyper-amped-excited Tyler about it.

At work a girl came up to me.
She said they were for me and smiled.
She laid flowers on the counter between us and turned and left.

Tonight, I'm going to find a house
and lay them on a front porch for morning.

For someone to find and wonder over.
For someone to feel good.

.
and we'll hate what we lost but we'll love what we find

Destructopuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus!

You know how smartphones can have those app-ity things called Apps? Well... I have a few. Possibly one or two more than a few. Or a few more than a few. ...on top of several other sets of few. Okay (takes breath), I'm extremely appful.

i m a g i n e s . . .
me: Hi, my name is Tyler, and I'm an App Monster.
group: (all together) Hi App Monster Tyler!
Straggler: What up, AppMo T!
me: (snaps fingers) I like that!

I'm with the apps. How can you not get apps when there're ones like Destructopus and Hot Donut out there? I will have you know though that I'm extremely folderful. Yes, lots of apps, but it's folders, all over the place. So organization is miiiiiiiiine. d:

- - - - -"Qwerty," says my keyboard.- - - - -

Walkie-talkie apps are just fun. I was talkie-ing my friend on HeyTell...

Kris: Do you ever look at the ads in this app. The one that just popped up on mine is actually kinda cool. It has a quote: "The most wasted of days is one without laughter." by E.E. Cummings.

me: That IS cool. (looks at my screen) Mine says, "Hungry? There's an app for that!" It doesn't say, but I think Jesus said it.

p.s. Don't actually get Destructopus. lol OR Hot Donut. This is a moment of goofy-game-app sobriety. They're super cheese.

I don't remember who told me to do it, but when I did, I couldn't stop laughing.

Have you ever searched your first name at Urban Dictionary .Com?

I woof you not, these are some of it's definitions for "tyler"...
01 "a guy that you could meet at walmart, thats really tall and would look good in stripes"
- Rock! (grins) Stripeh! But... what if I don't wanna be a would-meet-at-Wal-Mart-er?

02 "A man who looks like a cute cuddly panda. He claims pandas say 'woo'"
- Definitely not to the first part but... pandas say 'woo'? Why have I never heard this before?

03 "That tall skinny kid with the long brown hair who likes getting high and wearing hats a lot. Commonly heard saying 'word'."
- Yep, high, alllll the time. Hhahah, where did the hats part come from? From now on, I'm gonna start adding that to my logic for anything I'm serious about.

(in the rental store)
KC: But we could rent double-Oh-Seven. Why rent Ghostbusters?
me: Because it has ghosts a'busted, is an older flick ANNND... it wears hats.
KC: o__O
me: ......word.

04 An amazingly sweet guy who will always stick up for what he thinks is right. Might not be the most popular, or the most "cool", but he is one of the nicest people you will meet. Tylers are usually sarcastic a little bit of the time, and if they fall in love with you, they will do anything for you.
- Nope. Not even close. Imma lean, mean, tatted, motorcycle-ridin', swearin'-up-a-storm, steals-from-the-elderly NONO steals-the-elderly machine.

And by far, my favorite:
05 "A very very very, yet again, very, sexy pancake."
Just... that type of there-are-no-words-for-this-awesomeness awesome.

-----------------------------------

I know this makes no sense but, I had one of my photogs as the background on myPhone recently. I think it's fine when other people do this but for some reason I feel like a big poser when I do this. (takes the picture off)

My friend Shane was talking about music while he looked through my photography and he asked me something that kinda more-than-kinda made me double-take. "When it happens, when I release my solo album.. would you do the album cover artwork?"

I didn't know what to say. Just the fact that he asked...
