Today while I was driving home from my friend's house there was a raccoon that was hit by a car in the middle of my lane & it was still writhing in agony.I was contemplating going back over to put it out of it's misery,but I was on a busy road.Is that cruel or inhumane for me to think that?

As of recently I have been getting into old school comedy flicks.Just recently I watched Modern Times w/ Charlie Chaplin.I thought it was great.His mannerisms are classic.The last scene in the movie where he is walking down the street w/ his girlfriend is kinda the end of an era because that was Charlie Chaplins's last silent movie. I also just got finished watching Annie Hall.I usually don't watch too many romantic comedies,but this movie was quite funny.I love Woody Allen's self deprecating sense of humor.There was a bunch of cameos in the movie like Shelley Duvall,Jeff Goldblum,& Christopher Walken.

I am sick & tired of my life!! I don't have one right now.I am merely existing.I want to flourish & prosper.I fucking cannot stand the situation I have been in for WAAAAAAAAY too long now.Why is it for every step I take forward in my life I take 2-3 steps backwards?

People suck!!!! Who the fuck stops when making a turn on a green light in the middle of the turn? Turn signals are in the car for a reason....use them.Why is it that I can do 65 in a 55 zone & have someone flashing their brights @ me because they think I'm going too slow? Just because I'm not doing 110 in a 55 zone doesn't give you the right to flash the brights @ me. I have & will continue to hit my brakes when anybody does this.Also why when getting gas @ a gas station do people go the 1st tank they see out of the 2 in the line? Common sense would tell you to move up to the 2nd space so someone doesn't have to go out of their way just to get to the other tank.


I have an acquaintance of mine that I have known for a number of years & we dated several years back.Up until fairly recently we were platonic friends.Now she just calls every few weeks just to check up on me.What gets me is that the reason we aren't friends has nothing to do with me directly,it has more to do with the fact that we have different ideals & expectations.I feel that if you are in any relationship whether it is platonic or otherwise that each person needs to be considerate of the other's wants &/or needs .The mentality of"I want this" or "you have to do this" is bullshit.Why can't people accept people the way they are? I am not perfect.I am FAR from perfect.But what I do not do is nitpick & point out my friend's faults.I feel that she has a tendency to do this.I accept people the way they are.I could be on my best behavior & be a perfect gentleman & she will STILL have something to bitch about.I feel that I am much more tolerant towards her & other people than she is towards myself & others.Is this my fault?

Why the fuck do people put pictures of sunsets,cartoons,or pictures of someone that is obviously a model & other useless bullshit in their personal ads? I don't wanna look at the Chicago skyline in an ad!! I'm not talking here,I'm talking about sites that have personal ads.What people want to see is actual real-life pictures of the person that is described in the ad.

I went to Hooter's yesterday.Does anyone else ever notice that they have the hottest,best looking women on the days that there's a football game on or on Satudays? The other days they still have attractive women,but maybe not as attractive as the high demand days.I also noticed that a number of women that had gone there w/ their boyfriends or whatever & when the hostess sat them or the waitress took their order the woman made a dirty face like she was jealous or something,it's fucking stupid!!

I am going to my aunt's house this Saturday in Milton,Wi for the 16th birthday party for my cousin.Also it my brother will be there w/ his wife & his 3 month old son showing him off.I am looking forward to going,but I am not particularly enthusiastic about driving.I love driving most of the time,but chances are I will be driving home late that night,early Sunday morning by myself.I'll just have to bring a bunch of tunes that I just burnt including Bruce Dickinson -Skunkworks,Balls To Picasso,Chemical Wedding,Accident @ Birth.I have also been downloading a shitload of concerts that I have attended over the years. I have been to over 270 concerts in my life & want to acquire any audio or video recordings of all of them.I have Iron Maiden Rosemont Horizon from '87,Iron Maiden from the Tweeter Center in '03,Iron Maiden from the Aragon Ballroom in '99,Nirvana from the Ballroom in '93,Ozzy from Ozzfest this year @ Alpine Valley,the Heaven & Hell show including Megadeth from the Allstate Arena on 3/3/07,the Smashing Pumpkins from the Ballroom when they opened up for Jane's Addiction unannounced in '97, Pink Floyd from Soldier Field in '94,Rush from the Marcus Amphitheater in '02,Metallica from Poplar Creek when they opened for Ozzy in '86,Metallica from the World Music Theater in '94,the Who from The Sears Center earlier this year,Metallica from Alpine Valley when they were opening up the Monsters Of Rock Festival in '88, & a few more.

I have 1 extra ticket to see Rush in Milwaukee @ the Marcus Amphitheater on September 6th.The seat is in section 3,row Y.This is the 1st section on the left side of the stage.I will sell it for 70 bucks I paid significantly more than that after all the ticketbastard fees.Please feel feel to drop me a message in my mailbox here & I'll try to get back to you ASAP.Thanks.

I have been out of school for over 6 months & I still cannot find a fucking job!! I am about the only person in my entire class that doesn't have a job. I cannot stand just being a bum any longer.I have sent my resume to literally maybe 40 or so different places.I don't know what the hell else to do.

I am happy that I am now moving on with my life & not being held down by Dominick's.I took a buyout on 1/6.They gave me a little over 19 grand after taxes to leave.I am starting school for heating & ac on 2/20.Now I am facing another dilemma;do I move back into my parent's house & save some cash or do I find an apartment knowing that my money will be gone in like 6 months.
