so i'm going to see the stones maybe with rob, jason and brendan at giants stadium. we're tailgating up there to scalp tickets which i'm sure will work out grrreat. haha yeah right. but yeah i'm excited anyway. today at work i was doing a binding job for one of my favorite customers, and i always feel bad cause i always tell him i'll have his job finished in like a half hour and it always takes a lot longer, so i was rushing kind of to get it finished faster. i finally got them all bound and i had to cut the excess stuff off so i of course used the binding cutters, but they weren't working all that great so i was trying to hold it all different ways so it wouldn't mess up. well, apparently my finger was a little too close one time because it got caught in the cutters and they took a chunk of skin off. brendan got me all this stuff to clean it with, WHICH BURNED, so i was jumping around all over and screaming "IT BURNS" in front of customers and everyone was laughing at me thinking i'm crazy. but thank you to brendan for saving my poor little finger and helping me out with customers. i love yaaaa buddy.
last night my uncle came up from AC to get my dad's truck because my cousin was moving into his dorm today. so we had his beamer all day, and tomorrow too until he comes to pick it up. i drove it around and OMG I LOVE IT! it rides so smooth and you can EASILY go 80 on rt. 35 and not even realize it. it's a five series though so it's a little big and more luxurious so i don't like that, but it's beautiful the same and i still want it.
also last night my dad and i had another one of our dylan sessions. we listened to biograph and it was sweet.
"... it's not about keeping up with the times, being a poet for the eighties, rock n roller for the nineties, you don't want to get trapped...you have to learn about it all and call it up when you need it. the old trades are still the most useful, can get you out of a jam. everything is crooked now and the signs all poing you the wrong way- it's like we're living at the time of the tower of babel, all our tongues are confused. ... there does come a time, though, when you have to face facts and the truth is true whether you wanna believe it or not, it doesn't need you to make it true...that lie about everybody having their own truth inside of them has done a lot of damage and made people crazy. ... people are just out parading around in disguises, wearing faces that don't let you know what they think...i'll tell you this much- when you tell somebody your dreams and hopes you better make sure they love you like a brother or your dreams and hopes probably won't come true...you got to be somewhat superstitious to survive. people like to talk about the new image of america but to me it's still the old one- marlon brando, james dean, marilyn monroe, it's not computers, cocaine and david letterman, we gotta get off that- hedy lamarr, dorothy dandridge, that's my idea of america.....and who's improved on it? some phoney imaginary soldier can kill a hundred thousand people in a foreign country of his own mind but it's a fantasy and it doesn't stick. ... god is stil the judge and the devil still rules the world so what's different? no matter how big you think you are history is gonna roll over you."
