Tomorrow is payday and the money is already spent. I wrote the check out today for my taxes. Well actually yesterday since its technically the 16th at this hour. I am going to be a poor boy through the end of the month until I get paid again.
This last weekend I watched the movie, "Phone Booth" on Friday night. It was pretty good but 5 minutes before the movie was about to end I got a page from work with an emergency so my friend had to fill me in on the ending. Saturday I bummed around most of the day and then went to a ghetto party in the evening. I mean, seriously ghetto. I didn't speak Spanish nor did I have my last name tattooed across my back so I left that party within 15 minutes. Sunday my little sister made her 1st Holy Communion so I went to church, Catholic church. I am surprised the place didn't cave in when I walked through the door. I think the holy water left a red mark on my neck though. Later on that day I went out to Riverside for the Orange Blossom Festival. Food Food Food. I got to see Jessica Andrews(country singer) perform. It was actually really good. At one point during her concert she sang "Proud To Be An American" and it was really sad. I mean everyone was very patriotic but I was with my aunt and she started to cry. I almost started to cry. I know she is worried because my uncle, her husband, is being sent out to Iraq at the end of this week. People were waving their American Flags and yelling and applauding. It was comforting in a way to know that so many people support the troops despite their opinion on the war.
I have been having problems with friends lately over this whole war issue. They have no sympathy for me or my family since my relative is in the military. Some say that it is his own fault since he is the one that enlisted. Others are telling me that I shouldn't stress out with my job and just find another one despite the fact that if I left my job nobody would be able to take my place and my uncle's company would go down the tubes. They say it isn't my problem. It is my problem! It is my family!
Some of my friends have been giving me crap because I never have time to hang out with them anymore and I apologize for that. I am trying to do the best that I can with my time. I just don't even have time for myself anymore.
I need some sympathy, not pity, just someone to at least understand where I am coming from and the responsibility that I have right now. It's going to pay off in the end. Our troops are going to kick some ass and I am going to gain some experience with the work that I do to kick some ass in the business world one day. Along with all that I still have my raise. $$$$$ Just no time to spend it. ha ha
This week I have some lunches planned with friends, some evenings planned with friends and an ex that is home for Spring Break. Might go to a party. Going to do some more apartment hunting and then Sunday is Easter. I will write some more before then.
I need some lovin'. It's been awhile. See ya later, Masturbators!
