I'm baaaaack.....
LMAO, I haven't posted on this in so long it took me five minutes to figure out where to go to post an update!
Main reason I haven't been online in ages (as most of you already know) is because my computer is a piece of shit and so most of my internet time comes when I get around to going out to the library.
Anyhow, right now I'm up to to my neck in shit and somehow I'm managing not to stress out, but I'm not sure if that's not simply because I work my way into these situations so often that I'm used to it and can handle it calmly or because I just don't care anymore or what. Anyhow, last night I was backing up real fast leaving from folk group rehearsal, something I like to do when the parking lot behind me is empty. Problem is, it wasn't really as empty as I had thought. There was still a car behind me that I didn't notice because my back window was fogged up and I THOUGHT I had gotten it clear enough to see that nothing was behind me, but apparently not...and guess who's car it was I slammed into? MY DAD'S!!!
On top of that, I've been spending money much faster than I've been making it since I got out of the army, mostly because of bills and such, so I really need a full time job. Fortunately, my tax returns will cover most of my current debt, owed mostly to my parents, but that was BEFORE I hit the car.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Picking back up where I left off...I actually wrote the above portion of this entry last Tuesday, but my time ran out on the library pc and I just got back...
So its now almost a week after the top half of this entry and still no job. I'm really hoping to get this gig with the Virginian Pilot as a Pop Music/Entertainment writer, but it seems a bit of a long shot.
I just bought Coheed and Cambria's "Live At The Starland Ballroom" CD/DVD set. The videos are pretty cool. Maybe I'll finally be able to learn the RIGHT way to play "Three Evils" by watching what Claudio does. But I think it was filmed at the end of a long and rigorous tour though; Claudio's voice is pretty horse, worse than when I saw them at the Norva. He sounded like he might even have been a bit sick.
Also, the videos for "Devil In Jersey City" and "Blood Red Summer" were pretty cool, but "Favor House Atlantic" sucked. "Atlantic" was just your typical cheesy music video with lots of women, performance clips, bars, and REALLY bad lip-syncing. "Devil" and "Summer" were pretty cool though, and they seemed like they might have been related to the story line, especially "Devil."
Sorry this was so long, but I forgot how to do the little "click to read more..." link thing. You know what I'm talking about. Well, I figured it out once, I can do it again; I just can't be arsed to do it NOW.
Oh yeah, James, if you're reading this and you haven't heard yet, Mrs. B. is retiring this summer!
