I only do this because i get yelled at when i dont.
Things are moderately good right now. The new band is going great, it feels so good to not be angry in (or at) my music. We've got a couple shows coming up, and i'm excited to see how other people react to us.
My Job was driving me up the goddamn wall for a while, and it kind of climaxed on monday morning when my manager took my (and the three other inventory guys) aside individually and basically said we werent working hard enough. She gave no motivation nor incentive, and declined giving us more hours, but basically is making us increase our workload by 200% while the rest of the store does jack shit and blames the worlds problems on a newage hippie, a slowly dying old man, an apathetic southerner, and a wannabe musician. But now i just dont care anymore, and i've once again come to accept the choices i've made for myself. The job is to support the rest of my life, not to control it.
Amanda has been the best thing to happen to me in so long. She's helped me tear down the rest of the social barrier that I had built up and maintained since the second day of 5th grade. I feel much more free to smile these days. She likes the things about me that I'm not fond of, and that just makes me feel like i have nothing to hide anymore. As much and as long as I resented keeping myself fairly isolated in high school, I am glad I waited until I was mature enough to really appreciate having somebody like her around. And as I was thinking earlier, I have no regrets about my past. I'm really happy with who i've turned into over the years.
(side note: I keep hearing really strange noises and I just sat on a half torn pack of cough drops and it felt like a bee stung my butt)
This summer is going to quite possibly be the best on record. I'm sure I say or think this every year, but really after last year it cant be anything short of miraculous. I get to spend a full week at the beach with amanda, chill down manayunk, walk down the street naked, do all kinds of stupid fun things, and make tons of music.
Speaking of music, I really have upped my love obsession with the drums. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because i'm finally improving a little bit after being bad for a long time. Whatever it is, I like it. It's such a great feeling to be behind my kit, it's one of the most comfortable places I can be.
I should get some sleep now.
