(no subject)
I havent posted since late september. I really should have, but ive no energy for anything lately. Today is different though, i think. I will do a little more research on the 2 roofing jobs that were hiring and apply for those early tomorrow. Also, today i will try to finalize making the fliers and business cards for side work i have planned.
So what has happened since last posts? Im off unemployment, twas a nice break plotted genuisly(sp). I did keep busy with lots of under the table work, enough to pay rent and bills comfortably. Now im still cleaning the buildings for good cash for the time spent. I really enjoy working solo too.
I re-arranged my room a few hundred times and now i have it to the best possible formation. Im still unorganized and need to put things away. Theres plenty of shelf and closet space for that. Got a few more fish, i have 9 now which is a good number of fish in feng-shui. Except i keep seeing this extra little guppie swimming around very occasionally and i cant believe he is still alive, hiding without being eaten. I think the tiny guppie feels lonely all by himself.
Ive been renting lots of movies with 99cent coupons i got from the recycling bin people threw out. 8mile, 24 hour party people, love liza, matrix:reloaded(sux), run ronnie run(awesome), and bowling for columbine. Also i have free cable again and it kicks fucking ass. I need to try to keep the tv OFF more often. I have a problem when i must sleep with the tv on. The electrical energy is disruptive so i should just watch less. But i like pretty moving pictures. =p
Went to seattle again finally for the 21+ Interpol show. Was going to take my sister but she trapped me in her car on the freeway after i said her mood sucks. i wanted out of the car so i could go by myself not to ruin the experience. she had given me a ride from fife a half hour away but was flustered about not having an i.d. for the show or to drive legally. it was too bad i had to jump out of the car on the freeway after being driven far away past my designation where i wanted to be let out. unfortunately there was a cop behind us and my sister didnt drive off when i was walking away so she was stopped and had a suspended license and got a ticket and i had to drive her car off the freeway while she got a police ride which was a funny ironic thing i thought for the cop to make us do. Then i was escorted away from her quite a ways down 99 to a bus stop and took the metro downtown. I had all my shit in my backpack from working that day and it was frustrating that i had to carry it around. Even worse was when it burst open in the showbox Green room and i had to walk outside and contemplate what i was gonna do with all my shit spilling everywhere. After long attempts of trying to fix the zipper in the parking lot, i walk behind the club and notice something... two wads of cash right there. I keep walking and to my amazement see a rad backpack down the way just a little bit by a dumpster. There were some people in the alley so i take the cash and pack to an underground parking garage by pike place market. Theres a ton of clean/medical-like heroin paraphanelia, some foodbank bread, and some books in the pack. so im totally stoked with my new backpack and end of worries and even some extra spending cash. Unfortunately there wasnt any heroin.. haha. The money i found was $17 which i knew would just go to beers for getting me super drunk to forget about the shitty day and enjoy the nights happenings in my favorite city, Seattle. By all my good luck i think Seattle likes me too. The only thing that sucked about that night was that i couldnt be at three places at once. The Kills were playing the Crocodile, some other shit at the graceland(q and not u/day, local h/night). I did see ViVi/Alison coincidentally loading equipment when i walked by the Croc. She looked niiice. I made a call to Josh in Olympia to see if Maura was in town like he mentioned earlier in the day so i could possibly get her into the sold out show on the list and have a ride home if she had a cell phone(longshot). I was not in the mood to stay with anyone in Seattle that night after all the shit with the cops and my sister i just wanted to get home. Josh told me Maura was back but he would like to go to the show so i put him on the list and he got a ride up to Seattle from a buddy who was driving to visit friends. Josh rules, is a good friend, and im glad he was able to kick it. We smoked bowls all up in the space behind the back doors up above the stage. Its wild when you walk out from the peaceful back area to a people-flooded room of madness totally baked. By this time i was super fucked but kept drinking the $2 bottles of MGD out of plastic bottles. Then for fun Josh and i bought shots of GoldShlaeger which came in plastic shotglasses. Once Interpol came on i was seeing double of the band but used all my energy to stand up close and enjoy the show. And i seriously did... only regret was that we had to get that ride back and i was all messed up so i missed a blow afterhourparty at some bar. Oh well, maybe next time.
Other fun happenings were artswalk and Bands against Bush recently in Olympia. Theres a couple Oly bands i really like right now. Le push is one of them. Saw Aaron the other night and we talked about smurfs and peanut butter. he is a super funny guy, i need to call him more often to kick it. We get along well but also like our space and privacy. I do think we should be working on some film/music video projects. Hes got the DVD burner now the lucky bastard. Ill find out if he is kind enough to let me copy a few of my masters onto DVD so i dont have to worry about magnetic media disentegrating. I have some Hi8 tapes that were filmed over 5 years ago! Holy shit im anchient! I have put a few more bootlegs on ebay.. lets see if i can make a little cash without getting busted. I still really want to do the TCTV local bands show. It wont be all about effects and mixing and titles just raw video footage of peoples favorite bands, full in concert. I think it would go over well.
Ok now im going to start doing stuff even tho its difficult finding the energy. Maybe ill clean my room first.
