Since I am 21 and able to drink, I usually don't.
The only thing I'm excited for in the next week is purchasing wine to cook dinner and pair wines with a girl I am interested in. She's ridiculous, every bit as random as me, not an insomniac, knowledgeable, passionate, enjoys cooking and has those sleepy eyes (think Adrian Brody... but more feminine..... he has the only sleepy eyes I can think of at the moment). Anyhow, she's 24 and definitely enjoys my company.
Keeping busy is pretty much defining my existence. Which is a big change from trying to keep busy (as it was in Hollywood) while being broke. This time I'm being busy making money and researching equipment to buy (which there are a lot of options). I have 4 jobs at the moment and have assured a 5th job if everything works out.
-1. Starbucks Barista
-2. Preschool Teacher
-3. Childcare Provider
-4. Wedding/Event DJ
-5. Music Production Class for a Middle School.
Meanwhile there is that girl I'm interested in...
Who said keeping busy is a chore? I find it fly and ease.
I worked 55 hrs or so last week. It was nice, but I was sick. bleh
Then I've been working about half that this week and feeling better.
Mervyn's is going out of business, and so I went in to buy a nice grey jacket. Stupid jackets were all too big. I'm not a big man! So instead I bought a brown paisley tie and a Tabithablanket. It's Brown & Creme colored, not black and white. I want to go to Linens and Things and buy some green sheets and then finally get the frame for my bed to lie on... I'm sleeping on a mattress on the floor still. I have a computer desk, I'm going to start working on my shelving units (buy a hand saw, steady the saw horses, buy the wood, glue, drill for dowels, pencils, wood stain, sealer, and get to work.) I bought a laptop which I plan to DJ with, use with recording music, mobile computing, teach the Music Production class, keep in touch with friends.
I also use my phone as much to Facebook, myspace, and email as I log on to my laptop. It's pretty funny.
Obama is President. Because of Anthony's discussion of Michelle Obama, I feel more confident about her role as the next Jackie-O (for her fashion sense is incredible) and as an amazing African American leader, spokesperson, and First Lady. I'm happy with Obama doing this, but I don't want another Kennedy in that people want to shoot the man. I don't pray to God too often, but I'm praying that he doesn't get assassinated. Not because I value him as a messianic figure, but because this country will lose everything if we cannot accept him as a leader for a mere 4 years at least.
I've been obsessing over equipment to buy at music stores. The other day I was in the Pro Sound room at Rainbow guitars and I was like I could buy something from each surface here including the ceiling... A Furman, Two Speakers, dance floor lighting, monitors, a subwoofer, a mixer.... It was ridiculous.
The real reason I started this entry and sincerely avoided it was because of this:
C.G. (4:17:27 AM): can i be like your muse? hah
C.G. (4:17:42 AM): i can live vicariously through your music
Me: (4:18:26 AM): you have no idea.
Me: (4:18:31 AM): haha.
Me: (4:18:38 AM): Darlin' you will always be my muse
C.G. (4:18:54 AM): yesss :-)
Me (4:21:01 AM): Just try not to inspire me too much, you might lose your magic. =)
C.G. (4:21:14 AM): haha i don't think i ever try too hard, i'm just a mess lol
Me: (4:21:22 AM): not that I think you could.
Me: (4:22:43 AM): a mess? why would I want to keep a mess so close? It's dirty, and meant to be thrown out. You're going nowhere.
She was right.
I was fuckin' wrong.
I'm sorry I was wrong.
