There's a lot to catch up on and lots of things change in one's psyche over a few months when dealing with things on a daily basis.
I've moved on from Demono's and am doing my best to help a local pizza place beef up. I found that I'd need training for the Domino's GM position: I got thrown into a spot where I had no-one under me to have 10-15 people who didn't give a shit that I had to depend on. It didn't go well and I never believed in anxiety attacks until my last couple of months with them. I took a pay cut but I'm so much happier where I am now.
I thought that updating this with my phone would make it easier to do since my computer has died on me after about 5 faithful and strong years (I decided on New Years Day to send it off with a literal bang that involved many fireworks); however, my pre-paid carrier isn't loved by LJ. If anyone knows what carrier Virgin Mobile works off of let me know, eh? What searching I did told me Sprint but that's not working. My phone WAS running Yahoo IM for about a week but now it's not. I'm certain I can get it working again shortly.
My life is as undramatic as ever- exactly how I want it- so there isn't many changes to report. I know there are a couple people out there that STILL check up on this and I'll try not to lead you on by telling you that I'll update this more often. Once a week on the weekend I'll do this for you; escpecially for family, whom I've pretty much estranged by making the choices I did by moving here in South Carolina. Yay for low cost of living!
Before I get off here I'll make sure to enable non-user posting, too, so those who don't want to sign up are welcome to post however they wish. If you want my phone number (and I know you) to text or chat that would be a much smoother and easier way to contact and catch up with me. E-mail me for it! j.psuedin@gmail.com or xbox me: HappyMurderTime
Seeing Days of the New on Monday. It will rock me.
Now on to what I always loved to do on my LJ: hate or love on music. Along with me losing my computer went the unsalvagable harddrives and so much music and the ability to find new music at the drop of a fraction of a gig. I'm buying a CD a paycheck and I'll let you know my opinion of it is with a little review. I'm also forced to listen to the local radio station (www.95rock.com) which could be ALOT worse. I'll probably bring up setlist changes as I hear them and tell you what I think of them; mind you, most opinions are based on the SINGLES and RADIO PLAY.
Frowning Example: Saving Abel is being overplayed here since they came to town at the end of last year. I'm sorry, they're terrible. Forced to write nothing but balads because their sluggish instrument-players couldn't play fast enough to impress a slug. I've never gotten excited about some dude whining about his relationship or revelling in the beauty of intimacy and that's all they have to offer. 18 Days, I think the name of the most recent song is, is the biggest piece of garbage I've heard on the radio in over a year and I've heard Hoobastank's My Turn (I think). Someone call Hooba a WHAAAAAmbulance. Fuck off and do something if you want it to be your turn. And you know what? Not everyone gets a turn- you guys did and now it's over. Please, stop.
Smiling Example: My radio station put All That Remains' Two Weeks on their playlist. Granted, it's the most radio-friendly thing they've done in... I think... EVER and could be a sign for haters to start calling them sell-outs but it's still rocking and a step in the right direction for a southern rock station. Papa Roach's Hollywood Whore sounds rockin' and blows Nickleback's piece of Mouth right up their Canukian asses. Oh, yeah, and I've heard both of XXXX n' RoseX' singles and I like them. Alot. Pretty sure Chinese Democracy will be my next purchase. You just have to stop hating Axel, stop looking for Slash, and look at the work in a fresh way that isn't laden with decades of familiarity.
