Losers Annonymous
BEEEEP…………………BEEEEEP……………BEEEEP……….Another blaring alarm clock from across the room goes off. This is an older alarm clock that isn’t as loud but on a small budget it needs to get the job done. This alarm was actually set for six fifteen and set across the room so the zombie needs to get out of bed to shut it off.
BBZZZBZ…morningzbklsh as and at this aslL ZHBBZBZBZZZZZ……..Now this is the third and final alarm clock set on a random a.m. station that doesn’t beep just barely gets reception. Annoying and loud nothing works. Even though this alarm goes off in sync with the second beeping alarm clock it doesn’t move Darin.
To some people missing work once isn’t such a big deal. But if the young Darin doesn’t get his toosh out the door fed or unfed he will be late for the third time this month and hes already called in more then the standard allowed number. See everyone who Darin comes into contact likes him. Thinks he is a stand up guy and he easily attracts friendships and women. Well on his good days. Which i might add are numbered.
It is now 11:15. The sleeping giant emerges. Two of the three alarms aren’t even going off as if they were never. “ffffffffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkk”, “i can’t believe it i did it again!!!!!” Darin knows that this was his last chance at the company he is employed at. The “LONG ISLAND ELECTRIC COMPANY” does not stand for this insubordination. He calls in. He gets the exact response he thought. “Your stuff will be in the box at the reception desk please bring your i.d.” Thats what he expected and thats what he got. He knew he was on a a short thin string after his girlfriend kept sending him porn and naked pictures of herself through his instant messenger, while he was out on a cigarette break. That was embarrassing but also a reality check. No more mess ups. He messed up. good thing Darin is remarkable good at forgetting things and moving on. Plus hes grown quite accustomed to this type of situation. Not the porn on the instant messenger but the getting fired from jobs.
Sometime near noon he checks his email.

“YOU did it again you f&*King loser. I don’t even know how to deal with you anymore. Your such a dick call me when u rise from your coma”
That was Lauren’s normal tone. She was a knockout blonde who went brunette just for Darin. They shared a small sexual fling in grammar school and are sharing the good times again after reacquainting at a small bar on a busy street. Normally this girl is way out of his league but she seems to think Darin is out of hers. Its a weird very sexual relationship.
Darin being lucky enough to have survived a car accident and collected the money while he was in one piece a few years prior to today. Although still depleting he holds on to it like its his savior from the world. Probably one of the reasons its depleting is he lavish style for clothes and food. Not to mention every channel his cable company has to offer. And never ending visits to Shea stadium to watch his beloved METS.
In 2007 we find Darin living alone in corona New York. Its defintly not a nice area but its far from the worst. It kinda smells like cat urine. His mother grew up here when it was an all Italian neighborhood so when times got tough in his Westbury apartment and Lauren broke his heart he needed a change. He has lost his license and was forced to sell his forty thousand dollar car due to an enormous amount of moving violations and parking tickets. He lost the Job at Lauren’s dads company “Move It” a messaging service that ended up having to do with the speeding tickets Darin got in a work van he acquired for the job. He recently just lost a job he had selling beer at Shea Stadium. Not the best job but its tips were well worth it. Not to mention being at every home game. Darin got terminated from the job when he woke up in the morning and his cable and phone were disconnected and the letters from NYC electric company were coming in daily threatening top shut him down. He decided to take action and steal from his job. Well he got caught.
Today Darin is looking for a job sleeping late and severely depressed. Barely showering and barley leaving his apartment. Life is tough when its tough but does it ever get better he wonders.
How sad.
