So....
I turn 21 tomorrow for anyone who cares. I'm probably going to the bar because that's just what you do on your 21st birthday.
Considering my dad lost his job recently, I've been pretty bummed because we just finally got completely done dealing with my mom and the financial bullshit that comes with divorce and then his jackass boss fucking lets him go after 13 years without a single fucking reason. Needless to say, I don't expect much for my birthday if anything at all. Not like it matters cause his birthday is on the same day as mine so we usually just end up getting each other something of equal value anyway. We should just go out and buy something for ourselves the day of. It'd probably be better than both of us getting each other something we don't really need or want...
I'm such a worthless greedy american. I'm also a horrible glutton.
so, looks like my whole "scheme" for 21 before I'm 21 isn't gonna happen. Oh well. I suppose I have dignity and no poon as opposed to vice versa.
I can now take advantage of my discount at work, so any problems I'm currently having in my life, I can quickly put on the back burner with plenty of binge drinking. I'm probably going to lose my job to my band. I'd love to do both, but.. so does everyone in a band.
All I'm really looking forward to is touring in May, and touring in August with The Great Redneck Hope, if they can. After that, we need a damn album. Then, I'm pretty sure I want to book a 3 month (or longer) U.S. Tour. Either that or just leave on tour and never come back. I'm sick of the domesticated cage life that has been instilled in me since the day I was born. I want to get out of the norm. I don't want to be another asshole that sleeps in school and complains about his job. I want to do things that make me happy. I don't want to be rich but I want to be financially secure, and surrounded by people that unknowingly reinforce the idea that life is a good thing. Bonus features would include a recording studio, some sweet guitars and other random gear, and a wide variety of DVDs and a kitchen that ALWAYS has bitchin food in it. Basically, I'd like to have one of those sweet houses on MTVs Cribs. Preferably the beach house Incubus recorded Morning View in.
Wishful thinking.
For now, I'm content with paying my cell phone bill and credit card bill on time, having enough gas to get to practice and work and back, and having some sort of shelter to sleep in.
I'll be moving in to Rick's soon. I have a very good feeling that that will keep a lot of my anxiety and restlessness at bay.
If anyone wants to get me anything for my birthday, get me cds or dvds.
If you don't know what to get me, scroll through my
MySpace and look at the music I have listed. In most cases I have all releases by the artists, although I'm missing a plethora of Beatles Albums, and for some reason do not own a single Led Zepplin album. Or do this... get me YOUR favorite cd or dvd. I judge a lot of ones character by the media that influences them.
