so i'm out running today, and it occurs to me. when i go running, which is usually 20-30 minutes, 3 times a week, i will see maybe a couple of people on bikes, perhaps a runner or two, but often none. then, i think about the numbers of fast food cups and wrappers i see blowing around on the ground. and people wonder why united statesers are so ( Read more... )

dammit, so i'm driving up I-5 today to go to Mike's to practice with the drummer. well, some big rig is nice enough to kick up a nice large rock straight into my windshield and put a nice big crack into it. so now i gotta figure out what's going on there. my insurance covers it, but it's a $100 deductible to get it fixed. so i call the little ( Read more... )

so, Mike came over again the other day, and we worked on some more music. things actually seem to rather be coming together. i got my distortion pedal, and damn, the thing is just about exactly what i was looking for. i seem to be boring everyone lately talking about the other pedals i want to get. i suppose if you don't play guitar, hearing ( Read more... )

so again, i haven't written anything for a while. oh well. work is work. gilbert and gio moved in and are sharing the other room. so far, it's going fine. we have different schedules. by the time i get up, they're both off at work, and by the time they get home, i'm already gone. by the time i get home from work, they're usually in bed or ( Read more... )

anyone out there hiring? my boss is just such a chump any more. it's really hard to believe anything that comes out of his mouth these days. his paper thin commitment to his employees really worries me. so yea, if anyone knows of any decent jobs (preferably non-retail) availabe out there, let me know. seems like everything i find requires ( Read more... )

you ever have your luck just seem to be going so bad that you can't help but just start to almost laugh it in the face? so yea, i go to work today, bore my way through that, go to the grocery store, go to the bank, get gas, and come home to enjoy a nice peanut butter and jelly and potato chip sandwich (shut the hell up, it's good that way, dammit ( Read more... )

so yea, lemme see, what do i write about? ummm, my days off. went to ripon to drop off some pictures to stephanie for her b/f's art show, which i guess was yesterday. went to kelley's in modesto and picked up the copies of the promo pics i took for them last week. didn't turn out too bad. sometime, when i actually care, i'll have to start ( Read more... )

yea, so my roommate gives me about 4 days to try to find someone new or have to move out. april showers. girl i was supposed to go see in fresno flakes on me a second week in a row. april showers. now i find out that the local tower records is going to start dealing with used CDs starting next monday, and i can't imagine that will be too good ( Read more... )

well, so now i ask karli what's up on renewing the lease, and she says she's not sure. yea, well, we have until friday to let them know. and basically, since she said before she wasnt going anywhere, i figured i didn't need to try to find a new roommate or anything. so, now, more or less, if she doesn't want to stay here, i'm out, and have no ( Read more... )

so, i think i am never going to burn a CD for a girl ever again. it seems to be the kiss of death. any time i have plans with a girl, should i make her a CD before said plans take place, the girl will undoubtedly cancel. and this coming sunday proved to be no exception. that makes two weeks in a row now, which more or less is probably two ( Read more... )
