gosh i never post on lj, although i check it like 3 times a week. life is good, and then life is bad, it never stays the same. on the good side, had some drinks tonight for nick's birthday, got to meet all his cool friends, and they were really cool! nick is a good friend to have...monday night we saw mates of state, awesiiiiim...sunday was my birthday and so im an adult + 1, thats very very odd...drank with leland saturday night...got a tattoo with rachel friday night...so overall my past weekend was pretty cool. bad things: my dad died two weeks ago today, and then tonight my grandfather had a heart attack and has to get surgery apparently. he has already had a heart attack about 13 years ago, and a stroke last year. i wish i could figure everything out in my head but i dont. i just go out and forget my troubles and ive drank and gotten high more these past two weeks then i have this whole fucking year. good shit. no. another good side, ive been seeing rachel a lot more than i had this year and i missed her so much :) it feels really good to have friends that i know care about me. im going back to work on monday i believe, the first time this month, it'll be really strange. hmm i dunno what else besides i just got home from nick's and my dogs had stolen one of my pillows and completely destroyed it and there's stuffing everywhere and i am now out a pillow! fuck i need to go to sleep i have to take care of my foster dogs tomorrow. oh mother fucker i have to wake up in 3 hours to help my mom with stuff for salvation army. woo we are getting all hot new appliances and some furniture from my dad. i like how that is exciting, material things. but seriously, how can you go wrong with a 42in HD flat screen? oh shit im gonna go watch star trek.
