i wouldn't be so tired if people would stop calling at 10am!
seriously people. I'm a bartender. i work till 4am, then i go to the gym for an hour, then i spend an hour getting home. i don't pass out on my couch until almost 6am, and then you call me at 10 expecting me to be mobile?! hell, waking up at 1:30 was a concession to normalcy on my part. if i had my way, i'd sleep straigh through to 4:30, bathe and work.
anyway.
i miss jenjen today. there you have it. can't explain it, just do.
it's 9/11 today. there were lots of adverts to "strike" today in protest of the continuing violence, dishonesty, injustice, and war in 9/11's name. i think it's a wonderful idea, but wasn't marketed properly, which means not NEARLY enough people know about it to make it even slightly impactful if i WERE to decide i want to dick over everyone at work and not go in.
but, really, i could use an extra $100, so i think i'll go to work.
anyone else find it strange the chinese could rebuild beijing in 5 year, but we couldn't rebuild the wtc? (and i won't even get into the levee's, which pisses me off just a million times more)
was watching cnn last night at the gym (nothing helps you run harder like things that piss you off) and they were saying we were going to start troop withdrawl. and i'm wondering - is this a publicity stunt to take heat off republicans and allow them to say "no. see! we did something right!"? or maybe they really do care about the thousands of people they've stranded out there to die.
and then the iraqi pm say "don't go! we're not ready!" and DAMMIT it i don't totally agree with him that they're not ready, and we really do need quite a few units to stay out there and help them get their shit together (because we broke it all anyway). Part of me is worried they're just trying to ciphen off us forces and technology and in general use us because we're guilty of mucking everything up. and part of me wonders if maybe it isn't a great big plot to further weaken our military forces and cause greater strife here in the states
either way a ful 36% of american's think we should get the hell out, and that's on Lou Dobbs, which means there ain't nobody thinks we should stay there.
also, a quick note on all americans freaking out over the "bilingual debate". there was a quote last night: "soon, all the street signs in the south will have to be bilingual for the mexican drivers coming up. next thing you know, all the signs will be, and then the menu's and maps, and soon everything will be. what is this, the united states of America, or the United States of Mexico?"
yes, dear, this is the United states of america. only in america would people be simultaneously THAT xenophobic and THAT adamantly ignorant. It would be TERRIBLE for you to have to see street signs in spanish, because you might not be able to understand what they say (what with the english right above it) and god forbid you accidentally learn another language and enrich yourself in any way. it's much better having drivers running around the country who don't understand the signs and have no simple mechanism in place to make their job easier (because until YOU decided you want to drive mac's across the country for $50 a day, no one is going to do that job but them). I'd much rather we had tragic trucking accidents and stay a PURE lingual country - like our ancestors always envisioned.
*ARGH!!!!!!*
just.... americans.....GAH!
(i don't like to be ashamed of my country, but sometimes it's hard to not be)
- Yes, politcal debate can ensue now
In COMPLETELY different news, i've been bartending quite a bit, and boy can my legs feel it. But i've made a solid 500 this weekend, so it's not so bad. better than starbucks. and it makes me feel a TEENY bit more comfortable about moving.
I was hoping to go to DC this weekend to see the boy and look for a job, but he is super busy, so instead i'm going to try to get upstate this week. It'll only be for a night, because my scheduling is weird, but it's better than nothing, right?
Then the weekend after that, visit the boy, the weekend after that is jenna's birthday, and then move to dc.
wow.
still haven't met up with keri. i think she is pretty upset about me leaving. i don't think she quite realizes how often i will be back.
i'm so sleepy. i should go back to bed. nap for another hour, continue packing (everything but the books is packed, did you know? i could leave tomorrow) then off to work again. better than last night, where they didn't book any bands and it was just me upstairs from 6-3. *lame*
