Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy....okay right about now nothing could cheer me up.
1) My roommates mom died Wednesday night. She had been in a nursing home for awhile but still...it must be hard to lose a mother even when it's a strained relationship
2) I thought I threw my back out the other night...but I didn't it was kidney stones! Wooohoooo! I also did a dumb thing and took the money from work instead of the health insurance because I thought they were too expensive. I think they're passing on their own but I am getting insurance now despite being really broke.
3) In 2004 I donated 2 cars to charity...the IRS has thanked me for my generosity by saying that I own then $600 on my taxes! I've never owed in my life but I was unemployed for about 3 months and that fucked up my taxes...but the cars did absolutely nothing for my taxes....I played around with the numbers (on turbo tax) and it made no difference!!!
4) I'm only 6-months or so away from my master's degree in a subject I shall not name here. Unfortunately I've been asked to enroll in classes that started 3 weeks ago, will cost me a fortune and do not interest me in the slightest. They are online which is the only benefit.
5) So my band finally found a really good drummer. He's totally dedicated to music, he innately understands the sound we're after, he even has the perfect road van. We played a really good show the other week with a lot of positive feedback (though a fairly small crowd) from people who've never seen us before....so yesterday he tells us he wants to join another band that tours more. He still wants to be in our project but fit it in between all of the other touring and practicing he does. I kinda envy him in a way but I'm not willing to go down that path. I don't want to live out of my suitcase...I know the way I am. The music would get stale and I'd lose interest plus I'm only now starting to live a vaguely decent lifestyle (despite all of the above). I wish him the best but it's not going to work out. I can't sit there and not practice with a drummer for 3-months while he's on the road. We do need to get out there and play more and do some nice mini-tours up and down the coast but we're not going cross country anytime soon.
6. Yesterday I went out with this really nice, beautiful girl I met on myspace. We had a nice relaxed conversation for a about 2 hours and then she just asked me to take her home because she wanted to take some cold medicine and she had other plans....I'm not sure if that was a polite sort of "no thanks" or if I should take it at face value. I hate that I have to even consider what it was....the most polite thing to say if you're not interested in someone is that you're not interested and be done with it. I don't know if that's the case with her but I'm just speaking in general vaguries.
7. Our record label guy won't send me out the contract stuff so we can finally sign it. He had no problems calling and emailing me how much he liked the cd and when he wanted to give me all of the details of the contract but now it's like pulling teeth for some reason.
There's a bunch more stuff that sucks but I'll just stop for now....I'm starting to annoy myself
