i've been in the biz for nigh on 30 years

my first gig was cook
for the very first kelsey's back in '79
i was 19 working with cool ass guys
10 years my elder and "women" that paid attention to me
...its no wonder i never "entered" the real world
30 years later
i'm the old guy
but the young chicks still think im cool ...in a bern way

i am what i am
[as is my ash]

anyhoo

during my time in this biz
ive had occasion to brush up with pretenders
hot shot waiters
prime time bartenders
"look-at-my-tits" cocktailers
self-important delusional managers
and cooks that call themselves chefs

dont get me wrong
to survive we must be more than modest
and in fact some peeps that sit in my section depend on me
to make their dining experience more than usual

this i can readily do
[in my sleep]
but i rarely take their "experience" for granted
its kinda cool
after all these years
i still get a rush from making someone's day
freaky eh ....?

getting back to my point

there is a diner near my place
...vesta
its my "im drunk and needa cheeseburg" spot
having already refered to all the peeps that think
they stand out in our biz
i would like to say to those pompous fucks
...drop by a diner
see how the real world lives

one man - running the whole show

anyhoo thats it
oh yeah - dont forget about global warming
