The winds of change kicked up into a revolutionary gale in the Wal-Mart parking lot last night, for the female stockers actually made their way out to help us gather buggies. When they came back into the store, we were told by our manager to applaud their efforts. Up until last night, cart wrangling was a male dominated position, but leave it to ( Read more... )

Last night, while I was reparing the back-to-school section, I had a flashback of sorts; not so much a vision, but a feeling. All the silly pencils, folders, and notebooks made me feel exposed and vulnerable again. I hated school, and with good reason. I was the one to intimidate and fuck with; everyone was out to devour me. Seeing all those ( Read more... )

Last night was rough. I decided to cut down on my caffeine consumption, because--well, caffeine is bad for you. I haven't experienced anything resembling a withdrawal yet; but it's kind of hard to resist the urge to down a Full Throttle or two when I'm working. I was completely free of caffeine and the muscle juice of a bull, so I just paced ( Read more... )

When I was a budding pre-adolescent, I wanted to be a cartoonist. Then I put down the pencils and pens in favor of the guitar. Art just doesn't have the instant gratification and intensity that music has, and I guess that's what appealed to me ( Read more... )

I ate too much spaghetti, goddammit.

So I thought I had the answer to what was bothering me, and it was a lack of sleep. I got enough sleep in two weeks to make up for every hour lost over the past year or so; and for a while I was feeling fine. So the answer had to have been as simple as that, right? Nah, never. Due to my ailing memory, I can't pinpoint the event or thought that ( Read more... )

So tonight I made a lone and nerdy pilgrimage up to Am-Star to see Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. It's only been in theatres for a day, but Andrew, Britt, and Brock have racked up a larger number of nerd points than I have. They went to the midnight screening. My initial impression after seeing the film was something along the lines of; ( Read more... )

Jennifer's quitting Wal-mart, which means that one week from today, she'll be gone. She's becoming more and more detatched from me as the nights unfold; and whether it's because her boyfriend is pressuring her to leave, or it's because of her supposed (and this is a highly supposed) crush on me, the fact of the matter is; I hate it. I may have ( Read more... )

I woke up Wednesday morning at 12:00 AM on the friggin dot. After eight hours of procrastination, Brock and I left for Atlanta. We were on our way to the Roxy to see Louis Black. After hours of wandering and Brock's harrassment, we found the Roxy. The immense crowd was making me nervous for some reason. Louis Black was funny though, and a lot ( Read more... )

I don't really know what I'm getting for my birthday, but I hope no one gets me a trojan horse; those things are fucking shady ( Read more... )
