10:49 am - Hookah! Okay, so yesterday after work I took Angie home to her new apartment in Kensington and I talked with Jeff and showed him my guitar and stuff. Then I left to go to the hookah bar to start practicing for open mic night. I was really nervous because I hadn't done this for awhile and I was already shaking. When I got there I was one of the first there and I sat down and took out my guitar and began to practice. Then these guys sat down with me and I made friends with them. They asked me to sing for them for a "warm-up." I kept saying no but then they finally convinced me and I sang for them. They were like that was awesome and that gave me more confidence. Then Jeff and his friend Sara who was also performing finally came. I told Sara to go first and the first song was a Michelle Branch song. She sang awesome and then I went up and asked her what her favorite Michelle Branch song was. So I dedicated my first song "Everywhere" to her. Then I sang "Tony" by Patty Griffin and the audience was like in shock after I was done signing. I'll put the lyrics on at the end. Then Sara and I played guitar and sang "Are You Happy Now?" and "Goodbye to You." It was an awesome night and I'm going back every Thursday now. These are the lyrics to "Tony." Does anyone remember Tony A quiet boy, little over weight He had breasts like a girl When I wasn't too busy feeling lonely I'd stare over his shoulder At a map of the world He always finished all his homework Raised his hand in homerooom He called the morning attendance With the pledge alligence to the (gloom) ? Hey Tony, what's so good about dying He said I think I might do a little dying today He looked in the mirror and saw A little faggot starin back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away I hated every day of high school It's funny, I guess you did too Its funny how I never knew There I was sitting right behind you They wrote it in the local rag Death comes to the local fag I guess you finally stopped believing That any hope would ever find you Well I know that story, I was sitting right behind you Hey Tony, what's so good about dying He said I think I might do a little dying today He looked in the mirror and saw A little faggot starin back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Hey Tony whats so good about dying, dying Hey Tony whats so good about dying, dying Hey Tony, what's so good about dying He said I think I might do a little dying today He looked in the mirror and saw A little faggot starin back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Tony...

06:23 pm - one way street well today I had to go to work at Alpha this morning. When I got there I had to leave because I went to the DMV to get temporary registration stickers for the technicians. After waiting a good 45 minutes, i finally got my number called. The cubicle I had to go to was right next to the door where all the driving test people go. So during my time there an examiner had almost died because the testee had driven the wrong way on a one way street. I also saw tons of girls crying. AH the joy of teenagers getting their license. Then after work I went to school but decided I didn't have time to read and write a paper in an hour about bitter minority people so I just read the sections involving my topic: assimilation. Boring. So now I must further entertain myself for the next 45 minutes by commenting on complete stranger's journals. boo. Current Mood: drained Current Music: "Somebody Told Me" by the Killers

09:01 am - HAHA! So anyway...I'm officially quitting work. Actually you might be looking for an explanation as to why I haven't even posted in like a month its because of this: BEING A MANAGER SUCKS! So everyday that I'm not in school I'm at work from 2-10 which is a lame shift because it really tires me out like no other. So that usually means I get home and I'm so exhausted that I don't feel like doing anything but homework which ends at about midnight. Then I have to go to bed because I have to leave the house at 7 the next morning so I can make it to class. So I really hate work because it's way too hard when I'm in school, it just sucks. I also don't have weekend night off anymore so I can't even hang out with my friends. My only days off are Tues and Thurs which I have school. So I have decided that work is not for me and I want to focus on school and being an 18 year old. For example let's take this past labor day weekend. Friday: 5-2 in the morning. Sat: 5-3:30 in the morning. Sunday: 1-10. Monday: 6:45 am-5:00 pm. That's like 37 hours in 4 days! I am exhausted no more yo quiro taco bell. and Vyasa, what are you doing tomorrow?
