Does anybody still read this?
Let me know and I'll keep it up, if not, at least tell me to shut the fuck up. Thanks. I know its been a while, I'm not too big on being behind a computer for a long period of time, it doesn't help that i can only type at 6 words a minute. I promise to be more involved and let you know whats going on. (its a lot) Now Lets get some rain! I'm so ready for fall.

This is what I do People!!!
So, It was a busy weekend and All got taken care of. Ice was delivered to those promised and I even got to enjoy a restful Sunday with my familia. I even had time to take care of a LAST MINUTE CLIENT who called me Friday morning for an ice sculpture needed for their grand opening THAT SAME NIGHT! Now here is what I don't understand........
You call me the day of, begging for me to do this for you, I give you the price and you agree. I have to stop everything I'm doing, in order to bust out your logo and make your event happen. It took 3 more hours of my day( that was already consumed with work), but I did it. The way I make this happen is by shaving time . No lunch (45 min.), Push back calls (1 hour), Telling my son that " NO, I CAN NO LONGER TAKE YOU TO THE BAR-B-Q JOINT FOR DINNER BECAUSE PAPPA HAS TO WORK."(even though I hate breaking a promise, I don't tell him that this is how his pappa provides for him, his brother and their momma) so with that said, I made time for you.
Of course we show up at the time we said we'd show up and guess what. You are not there. I set up your 5 foot tall Ice Sculpture and nobody knows who is supposed to pay it. I should know better, FUCK THAT! I DO KNOW BETTER. But I give you the benefit of the doubt and when I call you, you have me wait......and wait..... and wait. All to find out, I'm not getting paid till the next day. you could have told me that all along.
Next day rolls around, guess what, you haven't called. When I call you and you say, "let me call you in 10 min." and 30 min. passes, I assume my money is gone. What are you gonna do?
I'll tell you what I do. I drive my ass to your club to chase my money. I sit there and listen to your BULLSHIT EXCUSES on how your POS system didn't work and how your Bartenders robbed you for over a grand the night prior. SO WHAT! I'm not your fucking therapist! I'm an self-employed, hard working, father of two who does not have a regular 9-5. When people need an ice sculpture, I provide it. No matter when or where. THIS IS WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING. THIS IS MY LIFE! All I ask is that you PAY for Ice that YOU ORDERED! Seriously, why do you want to fuck someone over like that. Karma is a bitch and I'm a firm believer in what you do comes back to you. YOUR CLUB WILL FAIL, PEOPLE WILL STEAL FROM YOU AND YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING THAT COMES YOUR WAY.
I finally got paid 30 hours after the sculpture was gone but I had to meet up at a Chevron gas station at 1:30am on a Saturday night, trying to fend off a prostitute ,who wants to get in my truck, while at the same time, explain to the DRIVER (she sent him out to pay me), that he is $45 short of what is owed. Talk about a crazy night.
I greatly appreciate the Thousands of people who over the years have taken care of me by supporting my dream of being a professional ice sculptor. I sincerely thank you from the heart. For those of you who fuck me over. Yours is coming. I Guaran-fukin-tee it...............
