Bump
My classes are so boring. Sure, I guess what most of you out there would consider boring, is actually very interesting to me. Like my PoliSci class were discussing the European political system, pre and post World War I-II. Stupid things too like the father of modern sociology was Max Weber (said as Vehber). Otherwise it's pretty boring.

I got done listening to "Chasing the Dawn" on tape. For those of you who don't know, it ws a book written by Jewel (the artist) while she was on the road. It is all free flowing thoughts, memories and insights. There is so much more I want to explore. Liberal Studies seemed to put it all together for me last semester. I really want to take another one of those courses to see if I was dreaming or if it really does connect with a lot of the ways I would like to approach my education and my life. I want to be liberally educated, there's so much more out there to see.

I feel like I need to find a new job. The one I have is okay. I like the people I work with, I'll be lucky if I can find any other job that has bosses as nice as this one, but it's just getting boring. I kind of need a bump in the road to get me going again. I've fallen into that pattern of dealing with problems as they come to me instead of being on top of it so I can prevent them from happening. Plus I want to regrow my beard because it is so cold outside.

Last night, I had a dream. It reminded me of a person I've known since 8th grade, but never really thought about. I realized how cool of a person she really was, and I want to get ahold of her. Anyone who goes to aquinas, please reply to this...

Riddle
Six black balls floating in the sky
Choose the wrong one and we all die
Three bright lights hovering by your side
Choose the wrong one and six universes collide
Two purple squares upon a wall
Choose the wrong one and three kingdoms will fall
Sixty blue dots on a television from '53
Choose the right one and the wall will scream

Can you solve it? So no one dies.

Yeah, so I got in a car accident this morning. Don't know if I'm going to be able to fix my car or not. I was suprised because I was remarkably calm after it happened. Except for the intial shock and adrenaline. It's kind of like shit happens. It was completely my fault because there wasn't anything that the lady that hit me could do. Oh well, I've been working enough, and it's just money anyways.

Work
So last night goes fine. I had to do all of the decking and clean the grill. Okay, I got all the shit work because I was the only guy, that's okay once in awhile. Well, today is another day. Forget what I did yesterday, it's all about what I can do today. No breaks for those who work hard, only the slackers. I try to be a nice guy, cover a four hour shift today and tomorrow, well the guy I was covering for is out of jail. So I get to work, he's there, I'm there. Simple right, I go home, no. The other male closer for tonight (which I am closing again tonight) called in. His doctor is going to induce labor in his girlfriend. Nevermind that this is the second kid he's popped out of this girl and he is only nineteen. He's also got a warrant out for his arrest. But hey, cna we ask for good workers, no. So the ask another guy to cover his close. Great, except he's already worked nine hours today and that would put him well over a twelve hour workday. Don't worry though, he won't be on overtime because in fast food there is no such thing as an eight hour work day. So finally I make it home, I'm going back at six to survey the situation. I don't get paid enough for this.

~You've had a trombone-ectomy
~You consider your drill book a necessary fashion
accessory
~You practice your instrument more than you talk to
your dog
~You consider getting mauled by a drum a part of
normal life
~An armed guard means a girl with a pole, not a guy
with a gun
~When alone, you suffocate -- no one tells you to
breathe
~You name your instrument

drummers?)
~Numbers past eight aren't important anymore
~Letters past G aren't important anymore

spill your lunch
~When everyone in the band fights like family
~When you practice so long the color guard is together
~You know not only your part, but everyone else's as
well
~You eat lunch in the band room
~You possess two instruments:
~a good one for concert and a junky one for marching
band

drumsticks on it
