DeVotchKa @ Logan Square Auditorium 120206

a little about my weekend

WOW. i had the most amazing weekend. I was priveledged to see DeVotchKa 2 times. The first show was great, the second was utterly amazing. I also got to meet Nick, Jeannie and Tom at the after party, where the DJ from Gogol Bordello was spinning. as if the night could get any bettter. I tried not to be some crazy fan, but I am afraid that I seemed to be just that. I had fantastic time with my great friend George. I probably drank a little too much and flirted way too much. I am still spinning....but not from the alcohol. WOW. I will try not tell keep talking about how much fun I had, but I can't promise anything.
Adam and Sarah have finally moved into their new apartment. It's even cooler than we thought. There are secret passage ways, a secret garden, dimable track lighting and there were 5 pabsts and a little bottle of wine waiting in the fridge when the arrived. If I believed in fate, this would be an act of it. It's perfect in every way. I am so very happy for them, they have a new twinkle in their eye.

DEVOTCHKA!!!!!!!!

CEREAL, GROCERIES, DEVOTCHKA...what more can I ask for?

2 days now. 2 days. I can't wait to see my beloved DeVotchKa again.
There is a Cereal Barn;Peanut Butter Cafe opening up in Bloomington at the end of the month. I am so excited. McDoel grocery should be opening up at the end of the month as well. This grocery store happens to be located right next to my house. They are hiring a cook from Louisiana that will be cooking up some daily specials like jambalaya, etouffee and gumbo. All things I love to eat. I am going to get so fat living next to a grocery store and going to the Cereal Barn.

I CRUSH A LOT

it is Tuesday. no one will read this blog. they have given up all hope. it's been a long time since my last post. i am drinking some coffee that closely resembles the flavor of ass with a little cream and sugar. i am poking the eyes out of a paper teddy bear and putting the eyes in front of the little lights on my computer. the bear now looks like a demon. i just called the pharmacy to fill my smorgasboard of prescriptions. while i was on hold i enjoyed listening to Kenny Loggins "I'm Alright". i really like this song. it's easy to remember the words. none of them have more than 3 syllables. the song is inspiring, like one of those "i will survive" songs. punk rock night sucked some major bung hole last night, for more than one reason. i am glad we left early. i am not glad that we paid $3 to get in. at least i got free beer. 3 days until DeVotchKa. I am so excited. i have been burning to see them since the last time in Ohio. DeVotchKa is the headliner this time...it will be amazing. and I get to see them 2 times in one weekend. Once at Subterranean on Friday and then again at Wicker Park for free....even better. So I think I am going to start a blog thing about my new crush. I will start out with my first crush Nick Urata. He is beautiful. He will always be my crush.

startabulous

I am bored. I am tired. Tomorrow is Independence Day...yay!!!!
A day off. Not planning on doing much. drinking, sleeping, making love. My parents are in Germany for about 2 weeks. Had a small get together Saturday...it was fun. After getting a gun pointed at us, the ATV stuck and someone passing out on the porch all was well. I have already requested the 21st off to go see DeVotchKa....I don't care how I get there....I am just going to get there. I'll take the bus if I have to. I have really realized lately how mature I have grown...in some areas of my life. Things have changed, the way I view things, the way I handle things. Nothing seems too big to handle anymore....everything is good. And I really see other peoples points of view....I mean...it's really weird. I don't get angry anymore....not really. I mean I may cuss a little here and there...but that's not really anger...that's passion. Shit works out the way it's supposed to. I don't believe in fate and all that, but if it doesn't work out the way it's supposed to then what else would it be? Think about that.

penguin update

the penguins were not an orgasm in my mouth...just in case you were wondering.....they were good, very sweet and chocolatey.....but they were nowhere near an orgasm.

Penguins ROCK!!!

oh....I ate too much....Bombay House kicked my ass again....the stuffed peppers were deliciously spicy and the chicken curry was perfectly smothered. YUM!
I had the "interview" yesterday...and I totally kicked some major butt! I got the job, I start Wednesday....I am totally excited....Ok...I am going to stop saying "totally". I am uber excited. I think it's going to be so much fun and I will be doing something I am really good at.....and I get to quit my other part-time job, even though I really like the company I work for, it's just starting to wear me out and I don't get to express any of my creativeness. I was very nervous calling to tell them that I was quitting, but Rob took it very well and was very supportive, so I feel really good about it now. I am going to finish out this weekend so they don't have to scramble to get my jobs done....I just wouldn't do that to them.
my desk is already starting to get dirty again- which is good, i was starting to feel a little uncomfortable with it being so clean.
I am getting ready to eat a piece of chocolate candy in the shape of a penguin that was described as being "an orgasm in your mouth".... I'll let you know if this is true...I doubt it, but it's possible.

clutter clutter everywhere

I cleaned my desk and this is what I found:

* 7 match box cars
* 1 handmade pinewood derby car (yes I beat all the dads in Cubscouts with "Silver Bullet)
* 2 glass vases, with nothing in them
* 14 random books ranging from design element books to a Red Hat Society cook book
* 1 mug with moldy dried up coffee in it
* 1 Avers cup with old thick OJ in it
* 1 green water bottle that I rarely use
* 3 candy canes
* 2 mini krackle candy bars
* 1 Air Heads sour candy
* 1 little homie figurine
* 1 red plastic cup with a smiley face on it (made especially for me by Clarks daughter)
* 1 foam Christmas car made for me by Carries son Alex (actually I think it's a Valentine card- it has a snowman made of hearts on it)
* 1 gel wrist pad that looks strangely like a blue silicone breast implant
* 1 pretty cloudy sky mouse pad
* 2 mini cups of vanilla creamer
* 11 multi-colored crayons
* 1 Norman Rockwell calendar
* 1 first place ribbon from the Pine Wood Derby race
* 1 roll of paper towels ( I am accident prone)
* 2 containers of chai latte sugar free beverage mix that i don't use
* 2 packages of cinnamon concentrate to help my diabetes
* 1 stapler
* 27 dust bunnies
* 1 cheesy glass cube that says "I love you"
* 7 goldfish cheese crackers
* 1 steno pad I use for doodling when talking to boring people
* 1 mad libs book
* 3 half eaten twizzlers

I didn't even open my drawers yet...this was just on my desk

vinyl wars

I really, really need to do laundry.....I look like a god damned hippie today. Went to Brown County with Adam last night to help out his sister prepare for some kind of workshop. I met his mom, sister and nephews...they are sooo adorable and I really like his sister and mom. I was supposed to have a pseudo interview last night at the bridal store, but the boss man was unable to come in. I am hoping that I will be able to do it after work today. I really hope I get it. I think it would be a lot of fun and I will get to work with people again. If they hire me and give me sufficient hours/pay I will probably quit my other part-time job. I really like working for Rick and Rob, but I am starting to get burned out....I already feel guilty just thinking about leaving, but I need to start thinking about myself. The cleaning job just doesn't let me express my creative and marketing skills....so it's time to move on. Not having a car is really hurting me with the cleaning job too....I can't keep borrowing peoples cars and asking for rides all over town, it's just not feasible. If i get the job at the bridal store I can walk to work. This is a major plus. I am excited, I hope things work out.....I really, really do. Adam is staying with me for a little while. His landlord is apparently a douche monkey and evicted them...they now have about 4 days to move out completely...he moved over all of his vinyl record collection the other night...we have stayed up late listening to random music and comic acts while Adam tells me stories of how he acquired each record and shows me the awesome art work inside them. He thinks he is boring me, but I have really been enjoying it. :)

happy birthday mom

my car was towed Friday...I had to come up with $120 to get it out and have it towed to a place where they might fix it, hopefully I am right about it only being the clutch, I have a feeling that there is much, much more...but we'll just have to wait and see. I should just start saving up to get a new car. I saw an ad for a '78 280Z.....man that would be cool. $1200....not yet, not yet. My ass muscles hurt from dancing, working and playing badmitton, but I had so much fun doing it. Went to Bombay house for lunch, oh....I ate too much. It was good, just don't eat the mixed pickle crap....it taste like a clump of salt....and don't eat the tapioca....yuck...but the curry was good. I just wanted to thank everyone that has let me borrow their car, given me a ride or just put up with my shit. I think I may need to quit my second job, I just can't keep scrambling to find transportation to all these places. I think I will try to stick it thr0ugh, I should have my car back within the next 2 weeks. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOMMY - SHE's 50 TODAY!!!!

PRONGER...you know who you are

things are going great right now. I am slowly getting out of debt. And I finally got out from underneath a heavy mortgage. Freedom at last. My car crapped out on me last week....the clutch burned up. But I am OK with that, I have great friends that have been helping me out and getting my ass to work. I don't really have anything interesting to say, I am just really bored at work and I am getting ready to leave. Had a good night last night...watched True Romance and Kill Bill, drank some PBR and ate some Avers, hung out with Adam, Ms. Savage and Drew....good times. Chill. Good. Yeah.
Someone I had been friends with for 8 years just told me that we can no longer be friends because he just realized that we will never be together....WTF? Yeah...I don't know either....it's stupid to me, but whateva. Move along to get along I guess.

DeVotchKa + Mad Libs = Heaven

I have been slacking in the blogging area. I have been busting my ass at work to get caught up, now I get to take a break, enjoy a newly designed Dr. Pepper and blog about things I want to share. My birthday is in 12 days. For some reason I am not looking forward to it. Not that I care to get old, I just wanted to have some kinda of party/celebration in the works, but I have been so wrapped up in work I have had very little time to do such planning. I am sure I will think of something by then. I still need ideas. I bought some Mad Libs from a second hand store the other day for .60 and they are from 1965....yes 1965. It is immaculate and has a monster on the front. It's one of the coolest things I own now. What makes it even better is that I get to share this joy with my friends. Mad Libs and Sailor Jerry make for a hilarious, gut busting evening. It's the little things that bring me joy. I received my new DeVotchKa CD and I have been listening to it non stop. I love it. I especially love. "I spoiled it all by saying something stupid like I love you". It's fantabulous! I was craving some breakfast food today for lunch, I went to Bob Evans and had eggs, sausage, potatoes and biscuits. I think I am trying to kill myself. Once I started eating it, I didn't want it anymore. I should have ordered a salad like George.

these boots were made for walking.....well....they used to

I just threw away my favorite black boots, i tried to hold onto them, but a major split in the heel has destroyed my faith in the duct tape repair. I have had these boots for about 3 years now....they cost me $19.95. I have a hard time giving these puppies up, but it's time to move on....you will be sadly missed my dear. Farewell. R.I.P.
haiku...i think

oh black boots of mine
we've been through a lot of journeys
you will be sadly missed

old people make me want to die young

I just got back from a rather enjoyable lunch with my buddy George. We enjoyed a fine meal at Casablanca.....I had the seafood whatever, salmon, shrimp, mussels and chicken on a delicious bed of rice, peas and carrots....it was divine. Also the Moroccan tea is sinful. After stuffing our bellies full of Mediterranean food we decide to trek over to the Chocolate Moose for some milkshakes.....now I am in pain from eating too much....but it's a pain i love. On the way back to work we were waiting at a stop light and an old man stops in the middle of the intersection to let out his old wife....blocking traffic and making it dangerous....I think I was slightly high from lunch so I started yelling at them.....asking "WHY?, why must you do that, endanger the lives of innocent people so you don't have to walk!" I said some other things....but it was kind of a blur. There was a man....in his 50's, normal looking, wearing a strange hat....not American....not sure what nationality....he looked over and kinda laughed at us, and then proceeded to yell "YEAH, RUN THAT BEEEETCH OVER, YEAH...THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!" and then just laughed some more. It was so funny to hear this guy in his unrecognizable accent yell something like this. I laughed my ass off. It was good times. Now I am back at work....not enjoying life again. I will be working until about 10:30 tonight....sucks....working 14 hours straight...then I gotta get up early to organize a CPR/First Aid Training class....ughhh...this is going to be a rough weekend. At least I get free food :) Planning on going out Saturday...first to the Irish Lion....and then wherever cheap beer is available...I hope we can go by Second Story for the benifit show.....it's going to be great line up. Check it out.

I cut my hair and sliced open my hand...ouch!!!! So, I call my new hair cut a tellum....it's party in the front, business in the back. I like it...it's short which is strange to me, but it's good. I think I was inspired by watching a rather interesting 80's flick starring Keanu Reeves.....talk about cool. So I have a new crush on a guy I work with.....even though he is gay...is it wrong to still have a crush on him? my phone crapped out on me and my dear friend Gigi is letting me borrow hers. I don't have the mumps anymore....yay!!! It's almost Friday.....and i am not happy about it....I now have a 6 jobs... I work on the weekend.....this is going to be rough....but having the extra dough will be nice. working for MPRI (Midwest Proton Radiotherapy Institute), The Jukebox, Eastplex, Animal Shelter/Humane Society and the CRAFT Stone Age Institute.....I am soooo busy now. I love it though....MPRI is awesome...they have the latest technology for cancer patients that have life threatening tumors/cysts near the brain or other vital organs....this place is so impressive....machines bigger than my house!! I get to play with the animals at the Animal Shelter...I wish I could have a dog...there is a dog there that has a Saint Bernard head, basset hound body, bulldog muscles and collie hair...he's big, short and beautiful....I want him. The Stone Age Institute is really cool, it's an archeological research center/museum....it's very impressive...they do a lot of field work on the site....they have over 40 acres of land on the outskirts of Monroe County. It's part of IU, Nick Toth who runs the place is a friend of my dads....he had my dad and uncle on one of his National Geographic specials for stone tools, they had to butcher a side of beef with stones made to simulate actual tools that cavemen used....it's very interesting....I have it on DVD if anyone is interested in watching.
I feel good working so much....I don't feel so worthless now...it's going to be rough, but I will get used to working 70+ hours a week again.
READ THIS ...you'll laugh.

stop the insanity

ahhh....hump day. The weather is beautiful. What is going on in Bloomington? Last night there was a shooting in Bryan Park, I lived in Bryan Park....children play in Bryan Park....why would you bring that there? I am very upset. My ex called to tell me about all the excitement....the cops actually questioned him to see if he witnessed anything. He didn't see anything, but heard a lot of noise. There was an attack downtown last night. Apparently a couple of skin heads ganged up on some black man and beat him with their skateboards. What is wrong with people? Why all the violence and hate? I feel so tired right now...I don't know why....I went to bed pretty early...I think I may have the mumps. Ughhhh. Went to Snow Lion today...yummy...it was a nice fix. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGE!!!! I will be going to the Irish Lion Saturday night to celebrate. I am going to a baby shower after work today. I don't really want to go, I just feel really pooped out. But it will be fun, and I can get free food :) - I am awful....I know. Last night I went to Anatolia (sp?) with my aunt, Brandon, Gwynne, Ricky and Stewart...it was nice. Then we went over to Taylors and hung out for a bit. My life is boring right now....sorry

IN YOUR FACE!

funny story...
Stewart and I went on a walk to Bryan Park and we stopped by Davids to say "hi". Little David, who was interested in getting to know Stewart, decided to ride his bike along with us as we made a lap around the park. David stopped and straddled himself over a covert pipe to look at the stream. This made Stewart nervous....his daddy instincts kicked in and he rushed over to make sure he didn't fall over. Stewart bent down to grab is feet and David let out a gnarly fart right in his face....it was hilarious...you had to be there.

RIP Jill

I am so glad that it's almost Friday. This week has been so slow moving. I need a weekend. Too bad it's Easter weekend. I really just wanted to veg out. Oh well, I like to get money filled Easter eggs and eat lots of yummy food. It kinda sucks...there are t-storms in the forecast for Sunday...looks like we'll be doing some mud wrestlin'...yeee ha!! This whole Jill Behrman case is all a little confusing. At first I was very happy to hear that they have finally pressed charges, but the more I hear about the case, the more I am disappointed at the evidence and eye witness accounts...nothing seems to fit. Everything seems like rumors or speculation. It seems they are desperate to pin it on someone and they are not covering all their bases. I understand that everyone needs closure, but how good can closure be when it's questionable? I just hope "beyond a reasonable doubt" comes into play at some point....doubt make for injustice.
We were the same age....I met her once in September 1999....it was her birthday....it took me a while to put the two together. Her friends were playing a joke on her, posting silly pictures of her in a dorky hat telling everyone to wish her a happy birthday, it was funny, she was a good sport. I remember her smile and her laugh....she was full of life. RIP Jill.

you can't always get what you want.....you know the words...

I need to find a second job. I need to get my head out of my ass. I need to get my shit together. I need to go back to school. I need to get an oil change. I need to stop overeating. I need to stop being so mean to people I love. I need to stop drinking. I need to clean my house. I need to stop blogging.

mmmmmm... good

last night was so beautiful, we grilled out. Chicken and burgers...yummy....damn I am a really good cook, fresh asparagus too....potato salad, chips & salsa, Blue Moon, Labatt and black cherry vodka...it was a divine time. You all missed out on some good eats. People should pay me to cook for them. It's another beautiful night tonight...nothing going on...just chilling out.

blahd e blahd e

this weekend? Friday my ex called and wanted me to come over to talk.....he wanted to get back together. I really don't know what I want right now, I am enjoying what I am doing. So I told him that I don't think we should get back together, but I don't mind the affection. He was cool with that....so we'll see how long that lasts. Saturday I walked around downtown with my dear friend Gigi. We went to Laughing Planet for lunch and then we went shopping....well....she went shopping....I drooled over shit I couldn't afford. It was fun. Saturday night me and some of my friends went to a house party at my friend Arons.....there wasn't that many people there but it was still fun until some drunken idiot decided to shove a glass into Stewarts face and bust his lip. I didn't see it happen.....but somebody should have beat his ass. Stewart is OK, but he sure does bleed a lot. It was strange, my "friends" girlfriend was there....she is nothing like me. I was cool with her, we talked and we even danced together a bit....but it was still very strange.
My dad has this blanket that he is actually putting in his will to give to me when he dies. It's on my bed right now.....no, my dad is not dead. This blanket is mink and it's huge and heavy and has giant peacocks on it. It has vibrant colors, red, orange, blue, green....it's the most beautiful thing I have now. I got to do the dirty on it last night....it was awesome!!! :)
I was at my parents house helping my mom clean in preparation for the big Easter extravaganza....I also had to help take up tack board so they can get new carpet...that sucked...my back hurts....but from all this spring cleaning we stumble across things that I forget I ever had. Old records....guitars...pictures...old books...it was so much fun. I came home with a bag full of vinyl and 2 guitars....one of which I gave to Stewart.....he loves it. I hope he puts it to good use.

youth never had a chance

why do I keep eating too much....uhhhhh. It was sooooo good though. Work sucks today, I am really bored, I am going to leave because we have no bosses today- YAY! My sister is buying a car, she has not been driving for over 2 or 3 years.....I am really nervous. But the car she is getting is a sweet ride, I see many road trips being taken in that thing :)
My other sister just got back from Panama.....she got sun burned....poor baby!
I have not done anything exciting for a while. I feel lame. My parents will be going to Germany in June. I am planning a house party - my friend Aron might be DJ'ing it. I hope everything works out. I remember the parties I used to have there, such great, faded memories. I want everyone to come, but I don't think anyone likes me anymore....am I really that bad?
I stayed up really late/early last night and watched Wonder Showzen......I feel the dementia settling in now. That shit is fucked up funny. I don't get to watch too much TV, but I am glad that I got to watch that.

i'm a murderer

I killed a bottle of smirnoff last night.....it was brutal.....should I turn myself in?

huh.....

is it wrong for me to be drinking vodka now?

bitches in small packages

uggghhhh.....my belly is full....yummy chips and salsa from Bobbys- I love you guys!
So while trying to park downtown I pulled in behind a car that was also parking. They started to back up and almost hit me. It was no big deal, I used my ninja reflexes and shifted into reverse and moved out of their way. I parked and got out to go on my way. Then this lady gets out of the car, an old lady, a midget, a scary old midget...who starts yelling at me. I couldn't really understand what she was saying, but it wasn't friendly. Why do people have to be like that? The guy driving I am pretty sure was just as scary but not a midget flipped me off. I just kept going. I enjoyed watching the Last Supper and stuffing my self with good pub food.

self-destruction

April fools passed me by and I did not get to trick a single soul. I am way off my game. I went to see The Eyes Have Hills with my friend George, it was pretty aweful, we laughed a lot. Today is beautiful, walked downtown, ate at the Village Deli- yum. It's after 7pm right now, but it's weird with this day light saving thing- I don't like it. I have been lazy today, I slept til noon, and then kinda layed around the apartment til we went downtown. Now I am back, I am being lazy again. I really have nothing interesting to say.
I had a dream this morning that there was these little girls trying to rob me of my CD collection, they were each walking out with like 3 of my CD's and not really trying to hide it. It took me a minute to figure out what was going on, but then I was like "oh well", these little girls need good music more than I do. Spread the LOVE.....LOVE OF MUSIC.
It was a really strange dream. I am sure there was more to it, but you know how it's easy to forget your dreams.
There is a grocery store that is going to be opening up right next door, I am so excited- I love grocery stores. I need to cut back on my drinking. I don't think I am an alcoholic...yet, but it's getting a little ridiculous. There are beer bottles laying all over my apartment....i feel dirty. and need to quit drinking so I will stop smoking...I am falling apart.
i think I figured out why I felt so funny the other night, I took a double dose of my kidney meds and it made my blood pressure bottom out. That's another reason I need to cut back on drinking, i forget how much meds take....it's dangerous.
I got a nice back rub last night. AHHHH
I am going walk to get the newspaper....just so I don't go to bed now.

Beer brought me back from the dead

i felt funny last night, I felt like my body was asleep, but my mine wasn't. My roommate had trouble finding a pulse on me. It was kinda scary, so I drank. I went to bed around 2:30am and woke up at 1 pm.....I slept over 10 hours straight without getting up once....that's very rare for me. Celebrated Sciscoes birthday last night, it was great to see those guys, I miss them. I think Vince hates me, but he won't tell me. Whateva.
I watched the storm roll in and roll out, the lightning was unreal, it looked so staged. I really enjoyed it. I was kinda hoping to see a tornado though. It rained earlier in the evening and quit in time for me to venture outside. It was truly a beautiful night.
I gave my roommate his first cooking lesson last night, he did very well. Chicken with Couscous with fresh spinache- it was DEEEElicious!! A++
I went out with an old friend of mine....uhhh......Thursday night? anyway....we had a great time together. He's such a vibrant person, he makes me laugh and I feel extremely comfortable around him. It's actually a little scary.
I need to do some laundry today, I have been wearing the same pants for like 4 days...ewww.
I have a new client who is a complete BIOTCH!!! and she looks like a man....check her out.

It's April fools day and I have yet to pull any pranks.....I need to start planning....I am so tricky....he he he. Who will be my next victim?.....it could be you.
I am thinking of going to see Libertine tonight, if I can find someone to go with me.
And FUCK DAYLIGHT SAVINGS....i still don't understand it.

grow a clue dude

someone that I had not seen in over a year called me out of the blue a few weeks ago and we met for lunch one Sunday afternoon, it was nice to see him, but I could barely stand to talk to him. I would ask him questions about himself and he would always reply "you don't want to know"...WTF? if I didn't want to know, i wouldn't fucking ask, right. I used to really like this guy, he is very cute, but he lacks in the personality department, he doesn't get my sarcasm and everything about him seemed fake or shadowed by a lie. after the lunch, we parted and I did not give him any inclination that I was looking for anything more. Ever since that day, he has been calling me everyday....swear. I have not answered the phone, I was hoping that he would get a clue and just stop calling, but alas....it keeps happening. WHY? my guy friends tell me I should give him closure.....CLOSURE? what the fuck for? lunch? I had fucking lunch with him. I have lunch with all kinds of friends, I don't have to give them closure and they don't harass me about. I am seriously getting sick of it. I know.....I should just answer the phone and tell him to fuck off, but I don't even want to have that conversation...that's how bad he is. Ughhhh.....so I might change my phone number....just as warning. I just ate some chinese....and oh....I ate too much.

sweet and sour

it's 8:41 am, Tuesday, March 28. Someone told me I needed to Blog, so here I am. I never knew there was that much interest in my uninspired ramblings. I went to Bears last night and enjoyed a night of too much drinking and laughing my ass off. The comdedians were hilarious, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. i'm at work now, dreading my schedule of conversations with authors about how great their books are, how original their idea is to talk about how great god is and how jesus saves....grrrrrr. give me a break people....can we have an original thought? I mean...is that too much to ask?
I walked downtown last night to get some fresh air, it was nice. my hand is bruised from the needles. The vicadin is almost gone, and I am dreading the reality of life, someone please help me relax. I am so tired right now, i stayed up too late having deep conversation with my roommate, chating with a sweet boy and smoking too much. I need to learn to surround myself with creative people, people that can have conversation. I need to distance myself from less inspiring individuals.....people wanting to know when i am going to fuck them again....you know who you are. Please can you be a little creative? I don't think it's going to happen again.... sorry dirty little hippie. Maybe if we can have some kind of shared vibes, things would be different.

minds are beautiful

the snow is almost all gone now....poo. I am sad now. I need someone to cheer me up. I also have to go in for surgery tomorrow....so i will be out of commission for a few days...so don't call me....i will probably be hopped on way too many pills to speak coherently. I kicked ass at work today. since I played hooky yesterday. It was nice to just have a day off to enjoy the snow. I need to find a second job, something fun...something easy. I cleaned my room last night...it feels so comfortable now...i actually have a dresser now, no more piles of dirty/clean. I am making some yummy rice with saffron and some curry chicken ...mmmmm ....good ....I wish I had more people to cook for....I am a damn good cook. I might be going to Chicago again in 2 weeks for a show at the Metro...if things work out. I am so excited about that.
if I ever adopt a child....i will name her/him 'Achaiah' - "trouble"- discoverer of the secrets of nature - it's beautiful ...like this picture
-nice things I have done today-
*I didn't give the pharmacist a dirty look today.....he is so mean...I am killing him with kindness.
*I let someone keep my change...it was almost a dollar!
*I didn't say any harassing comments to anyone at work....i swear
*I fed the cat
*I washed dishes...even though it wasn't my turn

SPRING IS HERE...LET'S GO SLEDDING

IT SNOWED!!!!!
IT'S SO FREAKIN' BEAUTIFUL
I AM GOING TO HAVE A SMILE ON MY FACE ALL DAY
IF ONLY I HAD MY TRUCK....sigh...I'D BE 4 WHEELIN' IT
WHO WANTS TO GO SLEDDING???
I COULDN'T SLEEP...IT WAS LIKE WAITING FOR CHRISTMAS....I DON'T WANT TO GO TO WORK TODAY....I AM SURE I WILL BE LATE...THEY HAVEN'T EVEN PLOWED YET- YAY!

manure is shit

guess what guys...it's 2:oo pm....which means I have ate lunch...which means....you guessed it...I ate too much. So I didn't ask Paul Newman out....he wasn't working. The landscaping guys are laying down mulch mixed with manure and the smell is making me want to vomit. Ewwww. I think I am going to get involved with the OC Art Guild, they really need some young/new vision, right now it's a few mature locals that seem to be preoccupied with quilting and knitting, so I...along with help from friends am going to add some flava....dat's right biotches!!! So, wish me luck on doing something good with art in this small town, it will be fun. I watched History of Violence with my friend George last night and was a little disappointed....you would think there would be more violence, but it was a little weak....and it seemed like everything was in slow motion.....I felt a little sluggish afterwards. I am really going to try and go to the Comedy Caravan tonight.....i keep meaning to and other shit comes up, but I think it's going to happen tonight.

love can move mountains....by means of explosives

so, I needed to blog. I received a call from my ex telling me that he met someone....a flood of emotions rushed through me quickly....so quickly that I looked emotionless. I told him congrats and told him to enjoy it and that I was happy for him - and I really feel that way. He felt better after talking, I felt like a tiny part of my world was crumbling, but that it needed to happen, I needed something to help me move on. I have great friends that have been supportive, like Gigi aka Jenn... she has been a great friends through all my ups and downs with my relationship, job, finances and whatever else my life has thrown at me. I am thankful to have a friend like her, and I know I don't tell her near enough....so "THANK YOU JENN!!" I wish she was here, I am on the verge of either crying or laughing hysterically. i need to cry, maybe then I will feel normal.

more NICE things I have done
*i let some kid borrow 50 cents to make a phone call to his "baby momma"
*i let some sorority chick and her friend cut me in line at Kroger because it was her birthday

baby goats

did a lot of running around yesterday....had to get a few things at the store. went to my mommys last night and had dinner...yummy. She gave me a bunch of towels and some cooking utensils.... I LOVE MY MOMMY. Bull shitted with my dad for a while...I LOVE MY DADDY. Went and played with some baby pygmy goats...wow they are so adorable....they tried to jump into my pocket. Didn't go out last night...went to bed early. Slept in late....it felt good. I haven't ate too much yet but I am getting ready to walk into town for lunch...not sure where yet...maybe laughing planet. My roommates cat...Samir (i think that's how you spell it) has been sleeping in my bed all night and morning....the cat loves me more...in your face Stewart!

5 nice things I have done this weekend
*told my mom I loved her
*didn't hunt down and kill the person who's car alarm was going off this morning
.....I must be having a bad week....I can't remember anything else....so there's 2 as of now

Paul Newman made me lunch

guess what guys....I ate too much again. I went to Bajio for lunch and ate a delicious mexican pizza....mmmm. I have decided the next time I go in there I am totally asking the guy that looks like Paul Newman out....he's so adorable. And I think he was staring at me while I ate.
So I am still deciding whether or not to go out....I just realized that the students are on spring break so it would be great to go out and not have to deal with them. So I am leaning more towards going out, but I am not sure where. The Lion.....Horse.....Alley.....Q.....Vid... ......maybe all of them. I'll do a pub crawl or something.
So I need to get back into my art, I feel so unmotivated and pathetic. I plan on making some tapestries for my new apartment some time this weekend. I hope they turn out well. So far having an apartment with Stew has been a pretty positive experience. We get along famously and he is respectful of me. Stew is a great friend and I hope we stay friends for a long time. *CHEESE*. I really need to call one of the local radio stations and see about getting a spot to do a radio show....this is something I must do.

let's take a holiday

It's St. Patricks day....and I was wondering what the hell does that mean? so here it is ..."a day observed by the Irish to commemorate the patron saint of Ireland". So why is it so celebrated here.....in America...well we like to have an excuse to drink....New Years, Valentines, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mothers day, Fathers day, grandparents day, Ash Wednesday, Martin Luther King Day, Groundhogs Day, Presidents Day, Flag Day, Mardi Gras, Easter, Palm Sunday, Earth Day, Good Friday, Passover, National Day of Prayer, Armed Forces Day, Rosh Hashanah, Ramadan, Patriot Day, Columbus Day, National Boss's Day, Election Day, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa are all good days to drink.....they should really just make a holiday and name it "Faded Day" or "Fuckered Up Day"....Instead of using every good holiday to get all sloshed. But....I am sure I will be a little hammered by the end of the night. I still have not decided on whether or not I want to go out or not. I might buy a pack of Killians and hang out at home.
So I walked downtown to the White Mountain Ice Creamery last night, they will be closing thier doors next week. It's such a shame, I practically grew up there being a parkie and all. I had one last peanut butter chocolate ice cream sandwich....it was wonderful. It started raining again on the way back home, we almost decided to hang out on some hippies porch to keep from getting wet, but the rain let up a little and we trekked home. It's only 8:30 am and I am already thinking about lunch.....

lucky charms

yes....it's right after lunch time and I ate too much...too much curry that is...I love the Snow Lion. It was just the right amount of spice to make my lips burn....awww....I am addicted. So my day has gone relatively well, we had a meeting where the president actually used the word "pimped"....I think it was an accident....but it was hilarious. I am totally buried at work and probably should be working right now, but my brain needed a break. St. Patricks day is right around the corner....I have been invited to several drinking celebrations....but I think I just want to chill out at home. I am such a loser. But at least I won't be a loser with a hangover. Like this lady.....
