My record player/stereo/speakers are driving me nuts. The volume keeps going up and down randomly, and I have no idea what's causing it. Pushing random buttons didn't solve the problem, and once it gets more complicated than that there's nothing I can do. Also there are a bunch of heavy things between me and the back of the stereo.I heard dust causes that, maybe get one of those compressed air sprayers and see if it helps

I fiddled with some cords and it seems to be working now…weird. Oh well, if it doesn't start doing it again I have no problem taking credit for fixing it.
I got my hair re-cut by the manager lady, it looks really cool now i'm glad i called in :) I get a free haircut next time i go.
I brought mom home some flowers from albertsons. Such a small thing made her so happy. Also i bought ultimate fudge brownie mix! :D
I watched 'wanted' last night, ugh what a shit movie. The worst part was it was corny but trying to be totally serious about being corny. What ticked me off was the message of the movie was 'hey i took control of my life, what did you do dickbag??' He didn't take control of his life at all, a group of super assasins with a ton of money did :/
I can see why a total manic depressive loser who works an office job would like the movie(because that's the main character) but the crap execution took away from what could have been a cool plot.
some ignorant fool called me racists when i said i wasnt going to vote for obama. when in fact i wasnt voting for mccain either.
both had policies that i didnt like, and both had enough of them, that to me, it wasnt worth choosing the lesser evil. bastards, i hate when someone who is ignorant, tries to call me ignorant of race. doosh, i have never seen anyone for their race. my first best friend was black. and i lived in the fucking south.

Well when I called you racist it was nothing to do with not voting for Obama, if that helps, and I did take it back afterwards!
I just got you mixed up with some real racists at the time, that's all.
im posting this while drunk…
im torn between 2 women.
whats the best way to end a relationship?
Slap her
Seriously though, if they're still into you and you're not into them, it won't end well no matter what you do.
i didn't slap her, but i did act like a jerk. besides I wasnt having much fun with her anyways. She took everything seriously…
=P
we werent even serious and she started to talk about what if we had a child what would it look like? weird.
I've had my new rock band guitar for less than a month and feels like it's been used over a year. :(
I might get this in the next month or so.
Or I could pick and play a real guitar. Then I'll have spend time learning to play, and once i get it down, the next step would be to find a band. And even if I find a band, what would I be doing in the band? doing crappy covers. might as well stick to the plastic fake guitar. it already fits into my busy schedule.

Wait…I thought that was Arashi, not Seventy2?
So I actually got David Hart's phone number, and I gave him a ring. He told me to call him back in a bit as he just got done doing a show, so I did.
Man it was… depressing. I guess I called right when his sister did, so I made him miss the call without knowing. After which he noticed it was long distance and said his plan is really terrible and I was costing him a lot, and that money is really tight and he doesnt actually get paid much at all.
I think the guy is fantastic, and I love the things he does. So that just made me feel… awful. I was all excited when he wanted me to call him back and thought maybe I could ask for a painting to be done (since he does paintings if you send him money for supplies and postage), but damn. Just… damn. :/
Today was great until now. Now I just feel like a douche.
My comp is rebuilt and running well. I'm so happy about it.
Today at my part time gig, the manager stated, "Hope everyone is ready to be busy. We're up against $9,000 tonight!" So, like an idiot I half shouted, "What? IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!!!!!!" I think TWO people got the joke

It's a bad sign…

Not enough sleep causes these dammed headaches! I was all set to enjoy the day wearing my new furry hat too… But instead I hung it up outside to get rid of the cigarette smell. true to form, the Czechs that made it must have smoked like a coal fired power-station, just like every Eastern European I've ever known. Ah well:
Cig smell = stinky aroma of authenticity
well i find it funny… i just saw the episode two days ago. me and my buddy are on a dbz marathon, we're gonna try and watch all 240. and i only started cause i wanted to watch that episode. but he said we had to go in order.
——-
i think i have a god complex when it comes to doing jobs. i feel like i can do anything. that if i just dedicated a little time to it. and so that becomes me putting a little on my plate. trying to do it all. except math, but that's a story for a different time.
i think when i get home, i'm just going to clear my plate, and find ONE. just one extracaricular activity, and dedicate myself to it. but first i guess i gotta organize what's already there, then clear that.
Jesus, I don't want to see dbz ever again… unless someone takes the entire series and cuts out all the filler. That'd make a nice 50ep series :P
In other news… my creativity was really limited in the last few weeks (translation: been lazy). I still have 14 pages to make (including back and both inside covers). Tried doing "ink splashes" so I can paste them into my next books whenever I need blood splashes or something like that… couldn't find the bottle of ink so I tried it with a bottle of old nailpolish… didn't want to splash too well, so I dribbled some patterns on a page, folded it in half… and then I noticed nice patterns popping up on the opposite side (two layers, darker one coming from what was spilled on this half and lighter one from what came from the other half after I folded them)… once it dries, I'm going to use that for backgrounds on title pages or somesuch.
EXCEPT FOR NOW MY ROOM TOTALLY STINKS OF NAIL POLISH :P
urgh… I really need to find that ink next time.

That's sad. You should try sending him a letter, ya? Be like, REMEMBER ME? I CALLED YOU AND YOU WERE LIKE CALL ME BACK SO I DID. I dunno. And include money– and a little extra for the long distance thing, I don't know. He'll forgive you. He's bound to. It's David Hart.
I'm thinking about getting an electric guitar… A more traditional shape than your PS3 choice though.
Something like a Gibson 335 or Epiphone Sheraton would go nicely with the new hat, especially in a 'blonde' or cherry finish. You'd be striking up quite a psychedelic vibe there, with the right garms.

VERY traditional looking. Hmm, I agree, the blonde one is good looking and goes with my hat.
But I can't spend too much on it since I still have to learn to play first! :)
I'm not even very good on acoustic guitar… And by "not very" I mean "shit".
I've never played any kind of instrument before, but this past year I decided I was gonna start. So, um. I'm actually looking to buy an old accordion. My old neighbor back in New Orleans is this master musician who plays, like, 20 instruments. And he happens to give accordion lessons. But I don't want to buy one before moving back's a done deal. With my luck, that'd jinx me, and I'd end up moving to another small, non-accordion-friendly town.

He told me to send him enough money for supplies and postage as well as time in order to do a painting, and to send it after the second week of Feb. So I play to shoot him an e-mail around then and apologise, and ask just how much everything will be. No doubt I'm probably going to send extra, to make up for the phone charge and, well, because he's David fucking Hart.
I'm planning to have him paint me that Dice on a unicorn picture, only I'm going to ask if instead it's David and his puppets riding it through space.
Not gonna send him the one with the penis though. Somehow I dont think he'll be too amused by it. :3
Who IS david Hart???

I've always loved accordion, no matter what it's playing (Bavarian Polkas or whatever), it's a beautiful instrument.
One of my fondest memoires was back in riding school, on one of the last nights I was there; All the younger kids were asleep and it was just us older ones, a couple of instructors, and the old cook. We were having late snacks and listening to some CDs when she shyly brought out her pride and joy- a big beautiful accordion. She played and we danced :)
My kitten got into the ventilation system through a hole in the drywall and we were all like, "OHMYGODKITTENNOOOOO!!!" and then we let him outside for the first time and he tried to jump into an algae filled pond and I was like "OHGODKITTENNOOOOO!!!" but he walked across the top of it because it's winter and I was like durrwinter, and it's just been an exciting day. Can't wait till we cut his balls off.
