God help the man who says “If you’d of known me when…” Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts

I’ve had two different jobs within the span of a week. Which rules but like… where were all the jobs when I needed them 4 months ago? Oh well. At least I have a fairly steady one now. Working in a warehouse can’t be as bad as some of the jobs out there. I mean sure it’s boring and repetitive, but at least I don’t really have to deal with a whole heck of a lot of people and the ones I do are pretty nice and don’t change from day to day. Always the same gang.
Although I have over $14,000 to pay off to banks, government employees, shitty phone company, vets, and my parents, the only thing I really want to think about right now, with regards to money, is getting a new tattoo / finishing old ones. I really have my priorities straightened out.

I’ve also been thinking about writing a book. Actually though. I planned it out and everything. Maybe I’ll start doing that in the spare time I never have.

Listening to: Old Haunts by The Gaslight Anthem

Fact of the day: My kitten eats: chickpeas, potatoes, tofu, popcorn, spaghetti squash, and soy milk; he takes after his mommy.

If we seem nutty to you, and if we seem like an oddball to you just remember one thing: the mighty oak tree was once a nut like me.

On Saturday I went with my friend Jake to see one of my personal favourite bands : Against Me! playing with the Flatliners. It was probably one of the best times I've had in a long while. Although I still haven't had a chance to get my hands on Against Me's new record White Crosses I thoroughly enjoyed getting to hear their new songs for the first time live. They also played a large variety of older songs which I was super stoked on; and staring at Tom Gabel the whole time pretty much just topped off the night. Its a little ridiculous how attractive this man is, especially with longer hair than I'm used to seeing him with. Flatliners also played a really good set. This was my first time seeing them live and they more than impressed. I honestly haven't really heard too much of their old stuff but after that performance I'm definitely looking into it. Their newest album, Cavalcade, is pretty solid and I expect their others are just as good.

Listening to: Province by TV on the Radio

Fact of the day: I have a job!

YOU LEAVE ME COLD!

This is the title of the new book I'm reading. I bought it for $1 at the Steam Era Show in Milton last weekend. I went with my family and we had a time. It was the first time we'd actually done something as a family in years, aside from having a Sunday night dinner together. I really should have brought my camera but the batteries were dead and I couldn't find the charger in time or else I'd have some pictures of the day's event. After the show though, I wanted to have a sister-night and go out for dinner; but everyone was already together and there was no point in having our night when everyone else was in a good mood and wanted to spend some time with the family. So we all ended up going out to dinner at Japan Buffet. It was deliciously filling and the service was extraordinary. I say this because one of the waitresses was so in love with my niece and her curly blond hair that she even took her to the bathroom; over and above her job expectations (and you know when you see those signs in teh bathroom that say "employees must wash hands before returning to work" and there are people who think they are funny and wait for an employee to come and wash their hands, well the employee did was Kaels' hands and her own before returning to work. Haha). Anyways, after struggling to finish dinner we all went to Catherine and Ryan's house to watch Cars (the Disney movie). What a successful Saturday night.

Listening to: Broken Things by Attack in Black

Fact of the day: I wish I was in school.

Everyone’s a prick. Everyone hates themselves. Everyone feels miserable. And the best of us never change.

Long story short I still have no job. I still wish I had moved out. I still don't want to be here. I want to move far away and start new.

Listening to: Since Always by Give Up The Ghost

Fact of the day: You never listen.
