work officially started today, and there were only 3 big, ugly, frustrating things that crapped on me.....
sigh

summer-time insomia prompts me to watch a ton of OPB....

neat-o LIONEL RICHIE concert has been playing on great performances..... amazing songs that i can't get outta my head..... i blame it on being alive in the 80's and listening to so much radio, not having Mtv, but instead having Friday Night Videos.

...now perhaps they'll leave my head?

weedeater, melvins, & down show was pretty good. at least it was adequately loud. perhaps i'm getting too old to tolerate the testosterone macho bull-shit mosh pit antics that are part of a show like that anymore. to each his own, but fuck, it baffles me why these schmoe's pay $30 to act like idiots that own the place, but at least you don't see...

scott kelley tonight at Mississippi studios was awesome. he played a great set of material, the sound was sweet, and he was as approachable and humble as most the interviews i've seen have shown him. it's not too often i get to shake a dude's hand and say "thank you" to someone i see as a influential artist and performer. firm handshake, too.
i hadn't...

during the nasty heat i finished reading David Sedaris's latest.... love that snarky dude
a student responded last fall that "Please Daddy, Don't!" was her favorite book, so i told her I'd put it on my stack to read; goddamn what a miserable story of a duche who beat his wifes, then eventually killed two of his daughters while he was on the phone with...

bruno, Edgefield (22oz, no golf), Voodoo doughnuts, relay for life, mt. hood railroad, hood river skate slolumn races, OMSI, cousin's wedding reception, .... gaining about 15 lbs when sister and her boyfriend visits.... i guess i have had 5 busy days this summer to be somewhat proud of, rather than just sitting on my keister and being a veg.

hate to sound like a dick, but the fact that Michael Jackson died today is going to mess up shitty summer television even more for the next three weeks....

and, unfortunately, I happened to recently re-watch the episode of Family Guy where Brian tells Stewie to watch an internet clip called "2 girls, one cup"; now I know why Stewie's reaction was thusly strong.... the...

mailed away the Xbox today... goddamn, i may actually have to find other stuff to do (gasp).
i don't think i've played any records for well over 8 months...christ, i should start there. read a book (that's not related to work)? dust my apartment....(naw, that's just crazy talk)...

first day of summer vacation...all i wanted to do was play video games...and i got two Red Rings....
grrrrrrrrrrr
not really a total vacation, i'm going in all next week, i'm sure.

i'm sure I'm screwed..... grade not in for my in-progress on-line class means that my license lapses, which means i'm sure i'll not be able to work a good last chunk (if not the whole) remainder of the year.

i'm fxxked.

at a time when jobs are scarce, i may have doomed any reason for the district to want to hang on to me, despite...
