so here i am at the office (Where i worked during the summer) and im here yesterday and today to fill in for the secretary who conveniently decided to take some vacation days during my fall break. but, its okay, because i get a $3 pay raise if i work during the school year when she takes days off. everything is ok.
i talked to my aunt last night about my mom, and like everyone else, she says that i have nothing to feel guilty about, that mom naturally looks for faults in people and does not want to trust anyone and does not want things to be good all the time. shes always looking for something wrong. i wont even begin to talk about what she did to this guy shes been seeing. she messed it up and he was proably one of the best things that ever happened to her. she needs to get that chip off her shoulder.
i should be using my free time here to study for that bitch of a midterm that i have to take on thursday. for those of you who went to Transy, im sure that you remember chris begley's essay exams. oh so fun.
october has always been my favorite month, but its always the shortest. pretty soon it will be really cold and snowing. but i like that too.
i cant wait for the weekend already. some of my friends are in a band and they are playing at a local joint this week.
i didnt even get to talk about the Al Green concert i saw on Friday! it was just COOL. he is old, but he can still sing and dance around just as well as he did 30 years ago. and,he handed roses out to some of the ladies in the audience,unfortunately, i was not one of them. but he really is one of the best (if not the best) soul singers in america.
the other night at steves place i got out my record player and dug through all my vinyl and had a good time. i hadnt listened in so long. there is just a different sound to vinyl, different than a CD, and in my opinion, better. it makes me feel like im not in this time, not in this decade. it takes me back to where i want to be. where i should have been. that crackling sound and soft static of an old vinyl record just makes me feel good. i have some hilarious records,. too, like the best of Tony Orlando and Dawn. what were they thinking? album covers are a very underestimated artwork.
i guess its time for me to get to work. i will probably be back later to procrastinate.
