The Community event was great and a big thanks to all that came out. Thanks so many times over to Jordan Blum it really shows the great OU Alumni we have in LA it makes it feel as if it's really hard to fail and that if you do you only have yourself to blame.
Now on to #TBT

Goat Boy
So if there is ever a story not to tell it's the story of goat boy. But with my newly acquired second job how could I not tell the story?
I'll get the back story out of the way I was 18 and I was F******g dumb and naive. I worked at a huge unnamed entity that exist in every city in the U.S. ... I had unreleased video games under my register (games we were selling weeks before the release date) I fully intended to purchase them (knowing I could make a buck or two reselling them) this plot was discovered. I was very young very dumb and very naive. I was told that if I admitted to some thefts in my department I'd be able to work to pay it back, I was really stupid I can't mention that enough. I honestly don't think I turned 18 till I was 23. Hell I'm graduating college at 30 so that should tell you something.
So a year or two later I got a job at a steak place working for pretty cool guy (still the biggest dick thing he's ever done to me (least that I can admit to now that he's my boss again)) So I had told him about the situation when I was hired. Again young and just so dumb.
Now the GOAT
I had this girl that I worked with I was crushing on. Honestly I don't remember much about her I assume she was out of my league as that tends to be my biggest problem I go for girls beyond my means... more on that in future blogs I'm sure... I was taking out the trash.
And I come back inside. I'd told my boss about my crush trying to get some info. But the girl was standing there waiting for me. She wanted to talk. SWEET. This is my chance. I don't recall having to much of a conversation prior to that. But before I can even part my lips to utter a syllable, "have you been to jail?".
Seriously I was just so dumb, they talk about hindsight and being 20/20 this is like 10/10 I see all the mistakes now ( I also see this guy trying to pull this shit again and Sir that is not happening). So she asks the question and I reply "yes"
She was gone didn't say a word ran away. I was befuddled, I use that word because it really expresses the situation the best. It was an "obscocious" moment.
Obscocious - Adjective
meaning What the Fuck???
I walk back inside wondering where she had gone. I mean this girl was not at all around for me to ask what was up. However, waiting for me was my manager. I can't imagine the look on my face but it must have been priceless as he was fully ready to laugh his ass off. His laughter felt like it went on for hours. Finally enough was enough "what's going on".
"I told her you wen to jail for having sex with goats..." Imagine the devastation, just try it. You aren't close. "she didn't believe me. So she asked you" all I could think was OH GOD "if you went to jail, and you said yes" just more laughter.
It was done Goat Boy was born.
I don't think the girl and I ever spoke after that. We all told her it was a huge elaborate prank but it was done. I always had a good sense of humor about it, I mean if I weren't the target that's pretty damn funny. Me and my boss got along great I spent a year at that job before drifting off somewhere else some how. But now I'm working for him again. The memories have already returned the first Goat Boy barrage fired.
I'm not a naive 18 year old anymore, and your an old man so be ready.
Hope you enjoyed one of my tales of woe. Remember to Like,Click Share
