So Laura moved all of her stuff to Laramie today. It was a long day of moving but yeah, we're done. The furniture dolly was actually helpful in making the armoir move quite easily. :P I know Laura, you were right. I think because you kept saying "dolly" I was thinking about the long, tall, skinny kind for grocery stores. Anyway.

Gotta turn in my timesheet tomorrow morning. Another week of work coming up. I'm not sure I'm supposed to be working on the big project that the big boss wants for the coming 4 weeks or something. I thought I should get on that, you know. I don't want to hear come 4 weeks that they need it and I'm like, oh, shit, I didn't know that. But yeah, I'll start on that tomorrow.

Not much news really. It's been quite hot the last couple of days for some weird reason. The house is like, not cooling or something. It's like like 90 or 91. A couple of weeks back, it was near 100 and it felt cooler. Oh well.

I'm running out of things to write, so I'll see ya next time.

Well, TJ left yesterday with his friends. Not really left for the islands, but probably left enough that I won't see him until he gets back. Not sure if he's going to be reading this blog frequently or anything, but if you are, hope you have a great time, better than my trip to Alaska at least!

The last few months have been super fun with TJ, making videos and hangin' out in general. He's been a great friend. More so than others sometimes, but that's another story and probably not suited even for the blog! Anyway, have a blast.

Today at work was funny. One of the coworkers who's really into World of Warcraft reached level 60 on his character, which is the highest level you can get. My other coworkers who also play, bought him a cake and 60 candles as a "birthday". Haha, it was funny. I think he was embarrased since he didn't want to explain the occasion, because it's sort of nerdy, but it was fun. Made me REALLY want to play and get into the game, but I need to build a better computer, which can be done for about $400. Not bad at all. I was doing all kinds of configurations and cutting corners to make it cheaper and stuff. I mean, I'm not going to be playing the most demanding games or anything. A little more research and hopefully I can get a computer piece by piece.

My first post from work since I came back!

Anyway, it was a weird morning today. I woke up at like 3:30am for some reason and wen back to sleep. The next thing I know, I woke up at 8:00 or so, and I was like, WTF? I was looking at the clock, thinking that it was one of those weird movie dreams where people wake up and the world's all different and stuff. But true enough, it was 8:00am...I didn't get it for a while. Laura said that I got up when the alarm went off, at 6:30am and I was trying to turn it off and she turned it off for me. I guess I went to bed. Strange thing is that I remember NOTHING of that occurrent. WTF?!?! I should know if something like that happens. Oh well,

Last night, I guess Chris went and bought a video game and video card to play the game with and his hard drive malfunctioned...so he had to re-format it and now he lost everything on his HDD...haha, I have to say, it's funny. He says he followed the directions, but I have a feeling that he didn't.

I am about to leave for Fazoli's to eat lunch with Laura. Should be good. I'm probably going to have the chicken parmesan again. It's good.

Gotta go!

Wow, another in a few hours!

Anyway, watching the trailer to Rent, coming out this Winter sparked me to write this.

Haha, 525,600 minutes!

But, seriously. A year is a long time. A lot happens in a year and a lot of us know that from experience. I haven't seen the musical yet, but I want to. If it's playing here in town, I would definitely see it.



Ok, so I thought we were going to head out to eat something, but since it's 2 for Tuesdays at Domino's, we did that.

Anyway, back to Rent (which I actually have to pay on Friday!) Yeah, watching the trailer for some reason makes me want to spend time with Laura and friends during the Christmas season. I don't know what it is, but the whole image of people walking down downtown, wearing scarfs, lights on the trees, and perhaps snowing just appeals to me. I like doing that or at least imagining it if it's too cold or something.

Yeah, And Laramie might be a good place to do that too with all the old houses, buildings and I really like the small community feel. I would like to live in a small community someday. I'm not a city person I guess like my brother and other friends that I know.

Oh yeah, another tangent, the other day I was thinking about seeing Crash and when I was out a week or so ago, it was just like Crash, in the sense that the world is a diverse place and we are surrounded by them, and those that "work together" without dicrimination...if you get my drift. My example. That day I ate breakfast, I forget where and got helped by a white person...later that day, I went to go get some school stuff and a latino guy helped me and he REALLY, REALLY insisted that I get a bag for my stuff, but I said it's ok. He was just really nice, not something you'd expect from the way he looked. This was at Long's Drugs. Then I think I ate at Taco Bell or something and another latino person helped me. The whole day was just weird. Don't get too many days with more contact with non-white than white.

Maybe that's what I liked about L.A. The fact that there are so many people, doing their own thing, and although they don't seem like the helping type of person, they do have good in them. People look out for each other, discretely and covertly, if that's makes sense. It's like an unwritten rule. I would assume that in L.A., for instance, Asians will help out Asians more, generally and so forth with the other races...not to sound weird, but I think white people are the least helped or attended to by other races in my opinion. Latinos, black, etc., in my opinion, will help out the white race the least among all races. I don't know. I could be just talking out of my ass, but I know what I know and I know what I've experienced. Hell, my old middle school's demographics, which I found easily, broke down like this, although this is NOT a 1996 census, it's probably still pretty accurate:

"The students come from diverse backgrounds, including 72.1% Hispanic, 12.5% White/Non-Hispanic, 11.4% African-American, 1.5% Asian, 1% American Indian, and 1.5% Other ethnic backgrounds."

All I can say is that I won't find that kind of shit here in Colorado! MOST of my friends, however, strangely as it may be, was white. Maybe just over half. The rest were pretty much latino and Asian. Not quite sure what the 1.5% "other" ethnic background is, but that sort of tells you what kind of area I came and grew up in.

This is interesting, so here's the demographics of the H.S. that I would have gone to if it wasn't for me moving to Niwot:

"78.2% Hispanic, 12.7% White/Non-Hispanic, 7.1% African-American, and 2% Other ethnic backgrounds."

Again, similar to my middle school. Anyway, I just want to say that people are generally good out in the world and although as hard as it may be (even for me), it's bad to judge a person by how they look or act, however cliche or hypocrital that may sound.

Thought I'd write a little something that I was thinking about today at work. I was listening to Big Yellow Taxi by the Counting Crows and two lines of the song is really true in life.

"don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone"

I guess I'm just saying don't take it for granted what you got right now, because in a day, a week, a year, whatever, it might go away, and only then, that's when you'll realized that you lost something. Appreciate what you have right now and hold it tight!

I thought I'd write a blog while I'm waiting for my CD to finish burning. I've been into getting new music the last couple of weeks. I've gotten a lot of them too!

Today I was putting together a makeshift "new computer" from the computer that TJ gave me. It didn't run since it didn't have any RAM, so. I decided to use the case because it was better than mine. More room to work with. All went well. Everything booted up fine, so.

Today was a long day at work. I didn't have much to do, but at the end of the day, the big boss was talking to my boss and I'm going to do this project that needs to be done in the next few weeks. I should be able to handle it! I hope! I don't want to look like a dumbass when I said it can be done. Could be long and frustrating days at work the next couple of weeks.

Laura will be here Wednesday! That's like, 2 days. Then I get "paid" on Friday. Everything with the internship is going good. I missed a couple of points on the last assignment because I forgot page numbers...I saw it AFTER I turned it in on WebCT too, and I was like, damn, that's gonna hurt me. And it did, not much, so that's good. I am worried about my postcard assignment for 10pts. It was to be sent in by today. I sent it last Thursday, so it had PLENTY of time to get there, granted it went ok. I didn't put my address on there, but as long as the recipient is on there, that's ok, right? I never sent a postcard before, I don't think, so I was confused. Oh well, 10 points out of 1000 isn't much. Hopefully that doesn't kill me in the end.

GOOOOOOD! (That was "god" not "good") The burning is taking a long time. 4 minutes left. I've been writing for about 6 minutes now. I just realized that I probably write in my blog more than any other time, combined. If I took all my blogs, I bet it could be a novel. Really. I think there's a place where you can check how many words you've written or something, but I could be making that shit up.

Oh yeah, I have to make TJ a CD of some songs he wanted. I have to do that before he leaves. Well, my tooth is sort of getting better...but I think that's because I'm just making myself think that it's not sore and it's not...if you got that.

I'm going to sleep now...brush my teeth and it should be done. Laters all.

Today was a hot day. It felt hotter sinceI was helping TJ move, but it wasn't that bad. Just walking up and down. Everything fit pretty much into one truckload. Both of us got a load of big gulps (that sounds nasty doesn't it?) at the gas station. I almost died because the Mug rootbeer went down the wrong tube and TJ explained because it was because of the bad root beer brand.

I found a cool job that might be, well, cool if I got it. It's a recreation maintenance worker for the Parks and Rec division in Laramie. I would be cool with that job...combine what I liked about working at the golf course with my recreation degree. And the cool part is that it pays $25K-$35K a year...FUCK THAT'S A LOT!!! Haha. I would be content, though, really. I wouldn't know what to do with $35K a year. That's like almost $3K a month...I survive on wayyyy less than that right now. Shit, I'd be rich. Back when I had the steady job and going to school, I was getting, oh $750 a month. Imagine, 4 times as much money coming in.

Which brings me to the issue that people I know are "broke" when they're getting paid upwards of 6 figures. I know I can't put myself in that situation and all the expenses, but come on, say with $100,000 flat per year, that's plenty to do absolutely anything. I guess it's not though for some. I don't know get...they must be bad with money or something.

I'm about to sleep soon. I'm tired and another week of work is starting. Though I don't see much of it, I'm going to see a deposit in my checking account on Friday. w00t! By the way, if you're bored, head to http://www.woot.com for some interesting things. Yeah, small paycheck, but a paycheck nonetheless. Something I haven't seen in 2 months I guess.

I'm gonna do a few more internet stuff and I'm off to bed. Later gator.

P.S. Laura gets up here on Wednesday and staying until she moves up on Sunday. I guess we are helping, but yeah, I can't believe the Summer is coming to a close. It wasn't a bad Summer I guess. I've had worse. This P.S. is becoming like another mini blog! Yeah, Friday we are hoping to get a camp site where my boss goes every now and then. Apparently it's right by the lake and it's a great place, so. If we can get a reservation at a good or fairly good spot, we'll go camping. I might get some wood from TJ's place, though. I was sitting there thinking about it for the longest time today. Now I want it. But I'm sure when I'm there, I probably won't. Oh well. Ok, now I'm really done.

So I finally called the dentist to see what was up with my tooth. They were gone for the day...apparently they leave earlier on Fridays. Hopefully they call me back with a good answer.

I was looking in the pantry for something to snack on (yes, I look there even though I KNOW there's nothing there) and I found this little white bag...what was it? It was the coffee flavored chocolates that Laura brought up last Thursday. At that moment, among many moments of course, I got that feeling that I am lucky to have Laura with me in my life and how she does these little things that I notice. This is a precursor to what I may discuss soon, but the simple fact that it REALLY is the "little things that matter" in life. It's the small talk between friends, the silly things between friends (yup, both smart and dumb!), and just knowing the fact that some friends will really always be there when you need them, or even if you don't need them. Big things in life for me? H.S. graduation. Big deal. College graduation? Couldn't have done it myself obviously. I don't know...I just don't seem to remember the big things.

At the same time, everyday things, though they are a little, don't mean a lot either. It's gotta be a small thing, but out of the ordinar enough that I remember them. I won't write examples, but that's what life is.

At this point, I like to use the rocks in the jar analogy.

The jar is life. You fill the jar with big rocks, signifying big events in life...life isn't full yet. You then add smaller rocks, smaller, yet still significant events in life. Shake up the jar and you get a little fuller life. However, with these you can never fill the jar. Finally, you take sand, tiny pebbles in the big scheme of things, but in the end, these are what fill yours jar and your life. Without them, you can't live life to its fullest.

I'm a dork, but that's just a great analogy!

So strangely, my teeth is starting to get sort of sore again...I'm not sure if I should be worried about it or not...I'll wait a couple of days and if it doesn't go away, I might say something the next time I'm at the dentist doing my final crown procedure.

I'm so broke right now...I have $45 on the credit card LEFT. That's right. LEFT. I get paid in 2 weeks, but that's gonna go toward some stuff first. Hopefully I can pay down my credit card a bit before then.

TJ's gonna be leaving for the islands in a couple of weeks. Time flies! I sort of remember when he first came down to the Sumac house with the camp gang. That was what, 3 years ago? That's crazy. A lot has certainly happened during that time.

Um, not really much to say...I had another full 8-hour day at work today with no lunch break. I was working on this programming thing and JUST COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. I got pissed. I'm working with one of my co-workers on this and she's great help, but man, I can't stand it. I hope they don't find this blog of mine!

I'm gonna eat something and then head to bed...the routine is sort of back. 7:30 to 3:30...be tired, go to sleep at 10 or 11...wake up at 6:30, start the coffee maker (to make hot water), get in the shower, get out, get ready, make some hot chocolate, head to work right at 7:12 from my house and I get there around 7:30, plus or minus a couple of minutes.

Laters.

Haven't written in a while, so I thought I do. Laura is in the living room watching Star Wars right now. I had a long day of work today...got there at 7:30, lunch with Laura from 1:30 to 2:30 and then until 5 or so. I was actually into what I was doing too, maybe that's why time went by fast.

This past weekend, TJ, Laura and I went camping at RMNP at Morraine Park. It was fun. Kids camping next to us were loud in the morning, but other than that, it was fun. We then went to see Bear Lake to see how it was, since it was my first time seeing it. It wasn't so bad, but yeah, the bad part was that we got locked out of my car in the parking lot...with the car running. I didn't hear my turbo timer and yeah, so, we called AAA and Laura had a free tow on their family account, so thanks to that, it was open and all that within 40 minutes or so and free. Thanks Laura and company.

I am calculating my budget right now...not looking good, but it ain't all that bad I guess...I won't have any spending money, and say good bye to my new computer, but oh well. Life moves on in ways you don't want sometimes.

Anyway, I've got some stuff let to do...then I'm gonna hang out with Laura tonight.

See ya laters.

#327.

I'm writing this from my laptop at my old house in Niwot, listening to some anime music...okay, that sounds dorky, but this one's awesome, right up there with climactic (climatic?) scores found in LOTR and Star Wars and stuff.

Nothing of big news to note. Laura gets back tomorrow, so I can't wait for that. I'm still not sure if she'll be up Thursday or Friday. I've actually worked 8-hours shifts at work the last 3 days (or the first 3 days if you want to look at it). Tomorrow is another story. I'll be working from probably 12 or 1 to 4 or 5. We'll see which comes first. Friday is my first end of the week timesheet time. I should get it signed and stuff Friday. It's going to be, what, 35-36 hours? That's so much! lol. My next paycheck is going to be AWESOME. I haven't had that much money in a while.

So, I am assuming that Aramark isn't going to pay me the 3 training days that I was there. The thing is, I'm probably not going to call since it's like sticking it up their ass asking to get paid when I quit, but who cares? I sure as hell don't. I SHOULD have gotten paid $120 or something after room and board and taxes are taken away, but I probably won't see that.

Gosh, it's 9:38pm and I'm not tired, but it's too early to sleep! I might head upstairs and see what I can scrounge up to eat, but anyway, I might have some great news tomorrow night.

Stay tuned.

New facelift for my website: http://www.csuconnection.com

I sort of have a loyal following back...in the tens, lol. Hopefully I can get it back to what I had it at a few months ago.

Went to Jim's Wings today. TJ called to see if I wanted to go, but I opted out first since I really have no money (i.e. $80 for the next 3 weeks for everything I need)...but then he offered to pay. I felt bad, but I went and got 5 wings. Thanks goes to him.

I still don't know when Laura's coming back, but tomorrow I'm not heading to RMNP. This weekend will be fun. I had an argument with Laura about the price of a U-Haul truck, one-way, renting from here in Fort Collins and dropping it off in Laramie...she said she called and the guy said almost $200...I call BS, but Laura doesn't believe me and says what the guys says is true. I say it can't be that much. So I hop online and run a quote...one-way from FoCO. How much? $96 and that includes 91 free miles. Bam, I win!

Anyway, gonna get Pizza Hut with TJ tomorrow. I will also see my old supervisor as well. Hope he's well. I'm gonna head to bed soon. I was TIRED today. I went to sleep around 12, got up around 6:20 or so. I'm almost getting in the hang of it.

Well my first day of work went ok...pretty much what it was before I left, but that's ok. It seems though that my boss is going to really try and make this "internship" worth while, so that's good. On Wednesday I'm going up to RMNP to do some volunteer work planting plants/trees and pulling weeds and the sort. Should be fun. I actually get paid so it's not volunteering, but yeah.

I also want to get a part-time job, another one (I think I already wrote that), either that or volunteer at the parks and recreation for the city. It would be fun to coach little kids or do stuff with them.

It's weird because it's days like these that I feel good about life and stuff, like I wrote before, even though things are sort of rough in terms of money right now. Days will go by, I guess. My credit card is at like $1720 of $1800...$80 left and I don't get paid until probably the 3rd Friday from now....THAT SUCKS! We'll see what happens. I'll chronicle my "living with no money" here in the blog.

Laura went to a Cardinals game and she text messaged me saying she met Ozzie Smith. lol. She'll be here Friday! Also, I was going to head to Bandimere on Wednesday, but I won't be because I am going to be in RMNP. Oh well.

I'm listening to a new, good single from Lifehouse right now (actually, it's weird how I say new since it's on there latest CD). I'll copy and paste the lyrics for you, Laura. :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
"You And Me"

What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, that took up a lot of space without spending much time. Today's going to be a song ripping day. I'll write again soon!

Okay, the long post.

Anyway, do you ever sometimes get the feeling that all is going to be all right, even if they aren't going to be? Well, yeah, I sort of felt that today. Like my teeth. It's gonna get fixed, yeah, but it costs a buttload...but I don't give a damn! That thought was really hard to write out...so don't even bother trying to decipher what I was trying to write.

My laptop is for the most part done tweaking. Just need to add a few more programs, Word, Dreamweaver, and Photoshop and it's done. Writing and using this laptop reminds me of when Laura and I were at the Sumac house. Yup.

What else. Nothing really, even though I said I would write a big blog.

Here is my proposed routine for the internship time period (if I get the schedule I want)

1. Wake up at 5:30am
2. Take a shower. Get the coffee going before the shower.
3. Out of shower at 5:50am.
4. Read up on news, e-mail, etc.
5. Leave for work around 6:00am.
6. Arrive at 6:15am.
7. Leave at 2:15pm.

I want to maybe get a second job, like afternoon/late afternoon. Heck, even right after my job would be ok. I would love to do newspaper routes, since it's like $400 or so a month, but I can't seem to readily find them like I did back in like 2001/2002.

Well, I just lost the urge to keep writing. See ya laters.

This is my first post from my SCREAMING new (old) computer that I traded with my Mom today. Screaming as in not fast, but that because the fan is always on now since it's not an Intel Centrino processor. Oh well. She seemed to like the new laptop, so that's good.

What's been going on? Nothing much. Tomorrow I start work, almost exactly 2 months to the day that I quit. Seems like just yesterday. I'm not going to make this a long one, but I'm going to write a longer one tonight, but I just wanted to test everything out on this laptop, since it's going to be Laura's in a couple of months.

Laters.

So, what to do tonight? I don't feel like going cruisin', but that could change. I make decisions on the fly and if anybody knows best, Laura knows that I can change minds AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE, literally. Like one time, we said, let's go to Olive Garden. We were driving, as we were pulling into the parking lot, I saw that it was sort of crowded. Bam, I lost my interest to go there...and we didn't end up going there...I forget what we did...come home? Anyway, I just want to thank Laura for putting up with some of the stupid things I do sometimes.

Went to McDonald's with TJ today. We were talking a bit about the movie last night but nothing too important. We were trying to figure out what kind of restaurant was next to McDonald's. Turns out it was Mediterranean (or however you spell it). Looked good though. I love Greek good but I don't even know if Greek should be capitalized in this sentence. But yeah, like Renzios in the mall? It's awesome. The gyros are great and the fries are the best I've had in this city.

But yeah, after seeing that movie last night, I sort of want to go visit California again. I don't know if I ever want to live there again, due to a lot of different reasons, I would definitely like to visit. And I should because if I ask my brother, he'll get me a ticket with his miles for sure since he's been wanting me to come out for months and months. Since he lives sooo close to Beverly Hills, it's interesting when we head out to town to eat or go watch a movie and then get burgers at this small little burger joint that sits in like a median sort of thing. It's like, they pack so much stuff, people, restaurants, and yeah, porn stores in that city. There are more adult dance clubs per street than anywhere else I swear...well, that I've been to.

I would like to visit Little Tokyo again and see some ollllld friends...come to think of it, I wonder if they're even alive? Like the dessert restaurant that we are good friends with. The owners were pretty old when I was a kid. Makes you wonder if they left the estalishment to their kids or something.

I sometimes wonder what my past is doing, if that makes any sense. Like, I wrote before, I sent like 7 letters to my old middle school friends. No answer. One came back returned. But the rest? Either they didn't care to write back (which would make them a bitch, really) or some crazy freak received it, opened the envelope, and is now hunting me down.

One last thing before I go do nothing. The last couple of days I've been trying to keep my cell phone off...it's sort of a weird, calm, relaxing feeling. Everyone should try it sometime if you have a cell phone. I mean, it's amazing how much the cell phone is tangled into our lives. Just to not hear a ringing sometimes can make you very relaxed. I'm sure there are studies or something done where people are conditioned to get in a bad mood at the sound of a ringing phone, or something.

Well, that's it. And yeah, I just read TJ's blog and yes, the people next to him were fucking loud. I was about to kill them and their relatives...really.

Well that didn't last long!

I would write a movie review on Crash, that I just watched, but I want Laura to go see it too, so. I'll hold off on it.

Great movie though.

Unfortunately, this blog is probably going to be my last one until Sunday at least (well, probably not, but hey) since I am pretty much done with reformatting this laptop with a fresh new install of Windows and pretty much factory fresh as it will be traded with my Mom's old (my old) laptop. I'll miss this one for sure, since it's probably a bit faster than my old one and the fact that my old one isn't widescreen and the CPU runs hotter than this, meaning the fan is always on. But yeah, it'll work out.

The good news??!!?!?!! I start my old job on Monday. Hell yeah. Finally. There are some things, though, like they were only able to secure me 370 hours of the 400 hours as pay, but hell, that's ok with me. That's 370 hours that I wouldn't have had. They are paying me my old hourly wage at $11.00/hour, so about $9.50 real money.

I just realized, I wonder if this is going to go into the PERA account? I don't think so, since I'm a student at CSU. I thought I could make millions, haha.

Tomorrow TJ and I are getting Pizza Hut, I think. I don't have MSN installed on this machine, but I'm gonna just use the web messenger. Pretty handy for those that don't want to install it completely. I'm getting this laptop ready for my Mom's use, so there's no high-tech stuff on it. Just a good ol' internet surfin' laptop, although this setup is way too overkill for just that. She'll watch movies and stuff though and the fact that I can hook a TV up to this will be good, although I've yet to test that out. I'm doing that tonight.

What else. Today was and is still damn hot, but it seems like it's going to rain like a mother fucker. It's Thursday isn't it? TJ has his soccer thing tonight. I wonder if they'll play in the rain? It looks like it'll rain in a couple of hours. A chance of cancellation isn't out of the question.

My tooth is bothering me more these days. Like, not bothering like hurting, but just annoying and I can feel that something's wrong in that area, if you know what I mean.

I need to budget out my paychecks REALLY well if I want to avoid this no job thing again. I'm gonna start looking for a job way before the end of this thing. I hope that I can get a good grade on this 5-credit course...A 5-credit A would help me a lot, but since I had one stupid B last semester, my GPA will be like 2.99 or something ridiculous...I should apply for more credits, but oh well. I think I did good enough to raise it that much from a 1.3!!

I'm gonna go watch another movie now. I just watched parts of Cast Away.

Laters.

I'm gonna head to bed, but man, this blogger thing is getting to the point where it's like an addiction when you have nothing to do. Damn! I think I'm on record pace to write more than I've written in 3 years in 1 year.

Anyway, I just wanted to say music is awesome. I thank all those who write and sing songs and make music because they love what they do...not those sell outs who do it just for the money...you know who you are. There are so many great bands on free download sites such as music.download.com that I can't believe it. I know Laura knows what I'm talking about because I made a CD with mostly these guys. They're just as good and most of the time they're better than the mainstream. Damn media gets a hold of them and it just becomes a money making opportunity for the studios.

Oh well, that's how the world runs I guess.

I'll talk to ya later.
