if you don't know, now you know
Pretty crappy week this week. Work at the music store sucks. I'm looking for any excuse to quit. I'm trying to work out more hours at Venture so I can quit the music store and just work at Venture. It all depends on this other kid's school schedule, if he can't work Mondays and Wednesdays anymore then I'm in. I'm gonna buy some mics before I quit though so I get my 20% discount. I just bought a new mixing board to replace the one that got stolen. It's way bigger with more features and better pre-amps. I'm pretty psyched. I got the Guitar Center Credit Card so I didn't have to pay for all of it right away. I've got 15 months to pay off $770, not too bad. I also bought a new kick drum mic so I can retire my old one. It's too valuable to be lugging around for gigs even though it sounds great.
On Friday my dad went into the hostpital. He suffered a mild stroke. So far he seems to be ok except for his speach and a little bit of muscle loss in his face. He'll be in the hostpital till at least Monday. I've gone to visit him everyday, and I'll be back there this afternoon, and I might take off tomorrow to bring him home. My dad and I don't really get along that well. We hardly ever talk other than holidays and birthdays. Now it looks like I'll be spending lots of time with him making sure he's alright and helping him get used to the changes he has to make to prevent another stroke. It's gonna be rough on my sisters and I, but it's gotta be done. The doctor says he could make a full recovery, but there's a good chance of another stroke so he has to be careful. I'm hoping that this is it, and he doesn't get any worse. He was definately lucky, but you only get lucky once. I'm sure I'll be going nuts with in a few weeks, but sometimes you gotta just suck it up and make sacrifices for others.
With all this happening with my dad I still managed to find time to see Jen last night. Originally I was gonna spend the night then we'd go to warped tour, but then on Thursday night she decided she didn't want to go, then friday I found out about my dad and I couldn't go anyway. So we were gonna hang out all day Sat till I had to go to the hospital. So I spent the night Friday. Things felt kinda weird. Then Sat morning it got weirder. I felt like she didn't want me there so I ened up leaving before we even ate breakfast. Then we spoke last night when I got home and things still felt weird. So we ened up breaking things off. It's better that way. We've only dated a month, and if it already feels weird then there's no point continuing a relationship when both people feel that somethings not right. It's all good though, no harm no foul. We're going to talk still and hang out from time to time. I at least learned that I'm not a fan of dating (going out on dates), and that dating someone from the City is way tougher than dating someone who lives upstate. Traffic, bridges, tolls, and parking...fuck all that shit. I'd rather drive an hour upstate to see a girl, then 20 miles into the City through all that crap.
Gotta get to work. I'm teaching private swim lessons to autistic children on Sunday's now.
