I don't know how much longer I can do this job, I'm starting to get extremely irritable and angry at the stupidest little things.

I'm pissed off now. really pissed off, and i've got no reason to be at all.

This shit is fucking weak.

Its weird how Styx songs can put me in an amazingly good mood.
They also give me ambition.
All time favorite Styx song is Lorelei.

So we haven't received mail in almost 2 weeks.
Not cool.

I work in a shit hole.
The lady told me it was the cleanest factory she had ever been in..
hahaha whatever.
I come home with burns on my arms from the press and from the sand paper rubbing against my arm as i try to roll it through onto the arm of the press.
I make a lousy $7.50 an hour.

Lori is in Cancun right now where it's warm and she's getting a tan..
Bitch.

Man I could go for some taco bell... again..
Shannon brought me some when she came over today!

Today was long. Very long.

Started off with Mike's alarm going off for 45 minutes because he was being an ass pigeon and sleeping through it.. and that was at like 7 in the friggin morning.
And then the phone rang and it was his cousin, her and her friend had been in an accident and needed someone to flip their car back over, and pull it out of the ditch.
Then we made a trip to MCC to get a paper signed so he can get money!
Then it was home for a quick bit before we headed to GR..
Which was long, boring and irritating.
Social Security Office is insane. It's like the secretary of state, but 3 times worse.
The people smell, the employee's are fucking dicks.
He couldn't apply for a new Social Security card becuase of 1 fucking letter.. 1 lousy stupid fucking little letter..
After almost 27 years, someone finally realizes that his name was spelled wrong on his social security card.
I swear the only thing people in GR are willing to stand in line for is free moolah to milk off the state.. (Social Security/Welfare).
Then it was off to Ionia so he could take a mid-term.

At 9:30 in the morning I am meeting with Lisa from Qualified Staffing to discuss a possible job placement.
Kind of excited about that. Hopefully its reasonable pay.
But I guess I can't complain too much, I need a job and unemployment is about to run out.
And I can't wait until I can afford to get my eyebrows waxed, and get caught back up on bills, and be able to do things so I'm not such a hermit anymore.
I can't sleep.
I'm kind of irritated right now because I have heart burn from bean dip..
And i really want grapes and apples and tums.

Oh and here is one of the only things that made me laugh today, other than Mike making some little mexican girl that was only like 2 years old start screaming..

Mike: I don't like the word beat down.
Me: It's two words.
Mike: Not if you put them together.

So yeah nothing new has happened lately..
The guy on myspace that sent me that message, his profile has been deleted..

My sister had a dream about me.
She dreamt that I had a 2 month old girl that looked just like me, and i was hiding her from my family.

so tonights update involves weird dreams, sitting on my butt, and bowling.


there has been a battle in my head about various things in life, and afterlife, questioning my beliefs and such. I'm not sure what I believe right now, Almost like I'm scared to believe. weird isn't it?

Anyways, Tonight I sat around and pretty much did nothing, I talked to Erin and noc online and now i'm laying in bed, fuck i forgot my pushups and crunches, so i'll be doing those right after this entry.

I bowled tonight, Nothing great, a 144 was my high game :( we got raped tonight, everyone on the other team was bowling much much better than we we're. oh well, shit happens.

Erin's coming soon, I'm excited for that. Really really excited.
I need to find a new job soon, I want alot of stuff and I can't afford it driving pizza. Its just not worth my time to do it anymore :(

anywho, g'night.

:: Music: temple of the dog

i shot ten minutes of b-roll, and twenty minutes of interview today. so, nobody can say i'm slacking off. i have a com midterm tomorrow at two. filming some more b-roll from 3 to 5. not sure what's happening after that. possibly another interview.

saturday morning i have the studio from 8 to 10, so stewart can come in and lay down some phat bass grooves. midday might do some more interview action. and in the evening, kevin requested my company doing god-knows-what.

sunday i planned on doing church, lifting, maybe a movie, and then making up a bunch of shit for that scriptwriting assignment i wrote about last time. i also have an article due monday by two, so that might happen sunday night as well.

it looks pretty when i say it like that. very neat and orderly. everything fits.

however, reality is very very different. reality includes all the stuff i know about but didn't add to the schedule. it also includes all of the unfortunate (and sometimes fortunate) random shit that i'll never see coming, no matter how hard i try.

i don't know which i'd prefer, the reality as it is now, or the reality as it would be if it followed the paper exactly. the paper would be boring, but i feel like i'd be much more productive and much less stressed out. and i wouldn't feel as guilty about forgetting people (since it wouldn't happen) and i would never have to deal with the trauma of "picking favorites" (regardless of whether they're actually favorites, or just necessary damage control).

meh. life treats me well though. far better than i deserve. i just hope to god there's a light at the end of the tunnel. because, it feels like there is, but that it's never going to come. as we all know, light moves faster than i do, so i have zero chance to ever catch up with that shit. none whatsoever.

but i guess i'm supposed to be okay with that.

thanks once again, mr. j. for letting me bitch into you, and for having you not judge me. or even notice me at all, really. i appreciate that sometimes.

Today was interesting;


I went to pay my ticket and the envelope said it was $70 and 3 points, I get there and the lady tell me its going to be $80 because they raised the prices.

Then i show up late to work because i was at the court house longer, Bill was opening today, for those of you that don't work at hungry howies, bill is the district manager, He wasn' t pissed thank god.

I had to close with him tonight though, we had the entire place ready to close at 8:30, I was impressed with how he did stuff.

I get home, played some Q3 with the rabid-duck crew.

Now my arms and abs are sore from the pushups and crunches i just did.
It feels good.

anywho, Night Night.

:: Mood: whelmed

scriptwriting, and so on.

i'm completely overwhelmed by this assignment. i think it's really cruel to make us go right into writing a full-on script. i have NO ideas. none! i like documentaries, because you can just find something to observe, and then manipulate what you see into something artistic. i like working with small groups of people, where you collaborate and build on each other's ideas. not like this. i'm so small and alone and insignificant and inexperienced. i suck at writing scripts, because - while i am good at writing, at least in certain ways - all of those qualities are things that don't make a damn bit of difference in scriptwriting. i have NEVER done theater, whether writing or performance. my short stories have all been bad - with some good parts in there - but as a whole, bad. and i understand that the point of the class is to get better at it. but i don't see how you're going to get better when you're bogged down and stressed out and completely nonplussed. i mean, i can look at a script, once it's written, and probably pick out some of the things that are good and some of the things that are bad. but in the process of writing it, i'm so lost in the formatting and the coming up with any ideas - anything at all - that i have no attention span left for critical analysis.

i'm just pissed.

calm down chris. you're okay. you're going to the studio tomorrow night, and it will be beautiful. you're done for the day, you only have one class tomorrow. it'll all be just fine. quit being a fucktard, and just enjoy it.

okay?

okay.
