disturbia

the following is a real-life occurrence that is completely non-fictional. i also realize that it is a rant about a burrito joint, but i can deal with such (and so should you):

the day is: june 2, 2009
the time is: approx 4:15 in the afternoon
the weather is: sunny with patchy clouds, moderate temperature
the location is: Chipotle at westlake shopping centah, daly city

my people, i am in the mood for some chipotle! if i was at berkeley i would've just gone to telegraph and gotten a nice lil burrito bowl and a free drank! but back home i had to drive to the closest chipotle at westlake...it's kinda new. my mom also wanted a burrito bowl so when i got to the counter, i say:
"hi i'd like two burrito bowls"
then the chipotle man says:
"alright, for here or to go?"
"to go"
"okay. what kind of beans?"
"oh no beans in one of them and black beans in the other"
"okay. oh, excuse me John can we get more rice. yeah, more rice...rice... yeha okay so what kind of meat can i get for you"
"um carne asada in the bowl with the beans and chicken in the other"
and then homey proceeds to put chicken in both of them...but i let it slide cause i felt bad and he'd have to start assembling the beaned burrito bowl all over again
"alright and what else do you want in them?"
"uhh in the one with the beans can i get tomato salsa, corn salsa, sour cream, lettuce, cheese, guac. and the same thing in the other one except no sour cream"
"okay...so you wanted hot sauce in the second one?"
"oh no.....i meant no sour cream"
"okay. and it was steak in both of these, yah?"
"oh no, they're actually both chicken"
so he puts the foil lid on them and writes a big S on both of them...and i'm confused and didn't want to correct him cause what if in chipotle language, "S" means "chicken?"...you never know.
so the cashier says:
"alright two steak bowls to go?"
"oh actually they're chicken"
"oh really? how comes it says S"
"yeah i don't really know...i just told that man that they were chicken. you can ask him if you want"
"oh no. fine by me...as long as you aren't lying to me, then everything's cool"
"yeah i'm not lying"
"alright! have a grand day then"
but i could see through his falsitudes! homeboy thought i was lying!

alright, bottom lines: i was having communication issues. i prefer berkeley chipotle over westlake chipotle. i feel the need to express myself through childish rants via weblog.

and such is my life thus far this summer

haha just kidding, life is good. i gave myself a haircut today so i might be lookin kinda funky for a few weeks...i can't really tell if my hair is even or not.
