November Song
I don't really know how many people still read this but it doesn't really matter. I do this for me and the people I care about (although don't say it enough or may not talk directly to them anymore). It's familiar. I sit down, type in the < and then the lj-cut text="" and then the > which is all geeky and html. And I know they've got rich text and all that. I just like doing it how I've done it and how it feels every time I go to do it. So yeah. That outta the way.
It's been almost a month since I'd updated. Can you believe that? A month and I've got no great epic stories to tell. Geez what good am I anymore huh?
Well on my trip I saw my ex from Michigan. I was on the drive, it was an extra 100+ miles, I figured what the hell. 5-6 years of not talking to someone, boom they contact you, and you are curious as to what's elapsed in the past years of lost conversations. It was sorta tough, we re-connected and then I'll say she disconnected. I say she disconnected because I left the ball in her court and I haven't heard from her in almost a month. No biggie, yes biggie actually, but also no biggie. It's that kind of contrast that makes sense in your mind that you don't expect people to necessarily understand.
I realized that I absolutely hate my job in the past month (it was before that when I decided that I disliked it, but it was confirmed in the past month). The "full-time" job I have as a graphic designer. I'm looking to get out of it. I had an interview with Fed-Ex today and some people might question it, but it looks to be a good job should I get it. Guaranteed hours, good pay, and benefits in 3 mo. So yeah...
I've been working more and more freelance work. I actually get to do Mens and Women's basketball this season. I'm scheduled for 20 games. And I found out recently that next week I'll get to do football as well as basketball because set up for football is Friday (the 9th) in the am and then in the pm I get to do the mens basketball game, which the following morning I am scheduled for the football game. 25 hrs worth of work in 2 days. I'm stoked.
I'm going to regress for a bit and mention that my regression is both in content in the entry and in maturity of myself. I'm going to buy an Xbox 360. A few months back I had made a vow to grow up and start getting rid of games, but in all honesty, it's one of the few things that keeps me sane. I don't have the income to support a hobby like my father and his craftsman-like abilities. I don't have the time to devote to pets or the crafts that I'd like to do. I'm at that point where I'm on the cusp but I'm not there yet... So I'm excited about this 360 because I'm going to get Rock Band. It's got some seriously kickin' tracks (originals). And if you didn't know about Rock Band, it has the full setup of musical instruments, bass, drums, guitar, mic. Yeah, it's cool.
Today is my first day of basketball and I'll have been up since 5:30 this morning and probably won't be going to bed until 3 am. I'm a carrazzy mannn....
That's all for now.
Later Folks...
p.s.-the title of this entry is a reference to a song Jimmy Durante sang only it was actually called September Song.
