JAVA! – A Short Story

JAVA!
by Ed Placencia
FRIDAY 5:43pm
Hung out with Todd this afternoon. He dropped me off from work and decided to come in for a quick hang. Had some coffee. He told me his coffeemaker was busted and in a grand gesture of generosity I offered him mine. At first he refused but I insisted. I hardly ever [...]

Staking Out Ed

Yesterday morning I did my daily ritual of looking out the window to see what the weather looks like [I've learned to put very little faith in the weather man]. Parked in front of my apartment was a shiny silver BMW. It looked like someone was sitting in front of it staring up at me [...]

Coffee: Ahhhhhhhh

A few days ago I posted a blog about an annoying experience I had at a coffee shop. Tonight I am happy to report that thankfully there are two coffee shops here in Auburn and I gave the other place a shot tonight.
I originally intended to do some writing while I was there, but by [...]

Leave Me Alone!!!!

Last night I wanted to get some writing done, but I couldn’t do it here at the apartment. You’d think I’d be able to find some peace and quiet here seeing as how I live alone and the apartment downstairs is vacant but I’ll be the first to admit I’m a little ADD and have [...]

WOW, Do I Rock

Tonight I cooked some catfish and holy schmergoley, I freakin’ rocked the house. Blackened catfish with a topping made of mango, onion, avocado, lime juice and cilantro and complimented with a glass of white wine.
Zoinks, it was good. I’m not too humble to admit it.
Whew.

Looking For Home

Today after work all I wanted to do was go home.
But I don’t know where that is.
I have a small apartment here in Auburn where I have my computer and a few random essentials. But when I think of the concept of home, I don’t think of these bare white walls and matching Venetian blinds.
When [...]

Gonna Fly Now

One of the things I was looking forward to when I moved back to Indiana was going down to the boxing club. Dad’s been a boxing coach for as long as I can remember and was a boxer for quite a few years before that.
Last night after work I went with Dad down to the [...]

Legally Hoosier

I was able to go and get my Indiana driver’s license this week. Seeing as how my old Tennessee license expired in November, I guess I was due. Ha! But I was living in New York City, and you don’t need a car there, so I never wanted to spend the money to renew my [...]

NBC: Later Rather Than Sooner

A couple of weeks ago I think I posted something on here about my video submission for a contest NBC was having to promote the most excellent show, The Office. The top three submissions will be aired on NBC. They’ve released the 20 finalists at http://www.nbc.com/The_Office/contest/ and if you look closely, you’ll see that I’m [...]

Miami (Yawn) Vice

Went to see Miami Vice with Dad the other night. I never saw the show on TV so I wasn’t too incredibly jazzed to see the film, but thought I’d give it a try. It’s not one of those TV-into-film shows where you have to be a fan of the show to “get it.” In [...]
