So things with my grandfather are not well. He apparently is in need of a quadruple bypass surgery but it can't be done because he has had a significantly high white blood cell count. He was supposed to have surgery Friday, but they have had to cancel it because whatever is making his white blood cell count high has not really been showing signs of going away. Everything is really tense back home and I'm growing more agitated that I can't be there and be in the know of everything that is going on. I also haven't spoken to him at all, so I have felt somewhat emotionally detached from the situation. I was wrestling with the fact that I wasn't as upset as I should be, or that I should be more concerned. I think that I obviously do, I just show it in different ways. Recently though I've become easily irritated by many things and I have been under a lot of stress for various things. I have a service article on how to set up a concert due by tomorrow and I have absolutely no sources. I also haven't really cared about doing in mainly because I don't want to. I think service articles are boring and and I don't enjoy writing them. That's just me though.
I've booked my flights to and from Australia so everything is kind of set in stone which is really nice. It's all very exciting but it has also been a very stressful process. It added to everything that went wrong with Coffeehouse yesterday since we were working with the local radio station to air the open mic over the radio. On my end, I couldn't find a telephone jack for them to plug into. When I finally did and told them I found one, they informed me that they were not going to be able to do it because the microphones they have were busted. So basically I went through all of the work that day for nothing. All of this kind of piled on me yesterday and I nearly lost my shit. So what did I do instead?
I self medicated with alcohol, just a lot of wine.
It may have been a bad idea but it made the open mic go a lot smoother. Dotson was getting on my case regarding how I didn't get him on at the time he wanted, and I was in no condition to be dealing with complaints. He gave me shit about it today and I nearly flipped out. We basically verbally went at it in the middle of the dining hall. I was yelling at him and he was yelling back at me. I then realized how good of friends we are when it slowly transitioned to us talking about going to Mile's birthday party at Northern Lights, where we would perform for the first time in awhile. Most people I would have dismissed and just walked away from the situation, but Dotson and I are that close where we can have at it and then calmly talk about whatever and move on like nothing had happened.
In other news, I was told that I have a career in Entertainment News. As in the people that talk on entertainment tonight or E! or whatever. My teacher for my broadcast journalism class said I had some talent and I should consider doing it. I also told her that I feel like I was lousing a part of my soul when I was talking about Benji Madden and Paris Hilton breaking up. I couldn't give two shits if either of them died in a plane crash let alone if they broke up or not.
Cheers.
