(no subject)
so i saw these guys about a month ago in the city at The Used show. i really didnt pay much attention to them, mostly due to the fact that i was still pissed that i paid $30 to see glassjaw, and they dropped the show to reschedule it for the next night. gay. but anyway, yea. i didnt really pay attention to them. shamus and i basically spent the entire time they were on stage making fun of them, cuz they were all cult-like. plus, the venue i saw them at (i forgot where it was) was huge, and everything just echoed all over the place, so it sounded like shit. but now i gave them a second chance, and my god, they are fucking good. i definitely recommend them. they’re sorta different too, which i needed. im getting bored of my music. this cd is amazing.
of course, what i failed to realize when i bought the cd is that on the cover, it says "content protected". so basically, not only will it not upload into itunes, but i cant even play it on my computer. pissing me off. i bought it so i could just dump it into itunes, put it on my ipod, then throw the cd somewhere and not worry about it again. i dunno, i think there taking this copyrighted thing too far. it says on the back of the cd that it is compatible with cd and dvd drives, and it says it can be burned up to 3 times, but its not working at alllll. RAWR. i did not spend $300 on an ipod for them to turn around and pull this kind of shit. because now, instead of buying cd's at all (which i normally do), im just gonna download them all of the internet so i wont have to deal with this content protected shit. sort of a loose loose situation for the music industry yes? blah.
anyway, I’ve been studying like crazy for my test on Monday. 4 chapters worth of information. i really want to do well, and past the state board test the first time i take it. if i do, my grandfather will pay me back the money i paid for the class. that would be excellent.
we got Gatino's ashes back today. it made me cry all over again. the place that does the cremations put him in a very nice little box, and sent a card with him... with a little story on how pets mean so much and pet heaven and how we'll all be together again. well, it wasent as lame as i jsut made it sound. it was actually very nice and made me feel better (and at the same time made me cry harder). it also had his name on it with our names, and the date he passed away. i thought it was so kind that they did all that. they don’t make it seem like it was just a pet or animal. they really made it like you lost a member of your family. the vet also sent us a sympathy card. i know they do it for all pets that pass away, but still, it made me feel better to know that these people do care for other peoples pets. when i first found out he was going to be cremated it freaked me out. i really didnt want to do it. but now, im sort of glad we did. i guess its just nice to know he is still with us at home.
just so happens that last week, shamus's little cousins found a stray kitten. they arent allowed to keep it, so i may go check it out this weekend. im all for animal shelters, and i would really like to rescue a cat from one, but for those places to push adopting an animal from them so much, they really make it very difficult. for them to even consider giving my family a cat, they would have to meet the entire family, i would have to bring my dog in, and basically go under this hardcore evaluation. its crazy. back in the day we tired to adopt a puppy, and they wouldnt let us have him because our yard wasent totally fenced in, and both my parents worked full time. soooo, instead, you rather have the dog sit there in a cage for weeks and weeks, and eventually put him to sleep because youre so picky about who is adopting him? makes sense.
on a happier note, I’ve waitressed everyday since last Saturday. in total, i have made $400 in tips, in a WEEK. i barley make $300 in 2 weeks assisting. so, can someone remind me why im trying to go to school for years and get a degree, when i could just waitress and be loaded? waitressing is amazing. i love my job.
other than that, life is totally boring right now.
i need to make some new friends. i need some sort of excitement.
i need to study for this test
im out.
