Ok, sorry.....it's been a few days. I'm really sure some of you give a damn if I update this thing or not. I just do it 'cause I'm bored and it's 2am & no-ones awake to talk to. Got it? Ok, now that I've got that out of the way.......goddamn it......I still have nothing to say. Life sucks OK? It's just the way things are. If I had a choice I'd make shit up about all the women I (add expletive) and all the booze I drank and the fast cars I own. But I don't, and I'm not the type of person that can lie about that kind of shit. I have this fucked up disorder called "honesty". It licks and it doesn't really help me in any significant portion of my life. If only I could be an ASSHOLE! As Dennis Leary says.
Skipped work today, felt rather sick. Don't know if it was a cold or if I just didn't feel like existing in the wonderful world of "JUNK MAIL" today. I'll find out tommorrow morning I guess. They better bump my pay up soon, they're really pissing me off now. I do everything back there but still get payed as some monkey just out of the jungle. Time to start bitching I suppose. Maybe I'll just sit at my desk all day and call people and fax people for no apparent reason. It kills time rather well. As it says above.......Another Day in the Life.

$5000, that's what I have to spend on a car. I went to the bank and the just....well, gave me the money. It was sick, they basically just said "OK" just pay it back. I could have gotten twice that and they wouldn't have thought twice about it. I'm scared of banks. They could be very dangerous for someone like me. I have a bad spending obssession. Kinda like my CD buying disease, but on a larger scale. Whoa. I don't need anymore of this stressful stuff, I'm going shopping.
I have to get my film developed from the pics I took in Hawaii. I've been back (reluctantly) for over a month now, and I still haven't got around to it. Maybe I just don't want to be remindered that I'm not there. Ok, that works.
I really don't have much of anything to say tonight. I'm pretty much all dryed out in the inspired/thought provoking brain wave thing. Zero creativity levels at this point. Hopefully this weekend I'll do some stuff to the pages and in here. I'll probably be somewhat inspired.....IT 'S PLAYOFF TIME!!!!!! Way too many basketball games to watch. Ya, I'll watch them all.
Well that's it for now, see ya!
Monday 4/22/96
Yes, I have sucumbed....I have finally had enough of driving that stupid "K" car.....the famous Walsh-family RELIANT. I am buying a car. I am looking for a '85-'88 CRX, so if anyone out there has one and lives near me.......
I think it's about time I had a car though, I want to be able to come and go as I please. And I want to be able to make a huge mess of the thing and worry about Mom being pissed off. There is something to be said about car stereos with more than one speaker too! I can afford it now too, that's the other reason.
I must say...I am having a pretty good start to a week I originally thought would be a generally fucked up, emotional roller-coaster ride of a week. Maybe it'll keep up......nah, things never get that good. Probably kick-in on Wedneday and things will be normally screwed as per usual! Geez I'm a positive person. I get like this every year though....right between spring and summer, or late spring. Maybe it's some kind of mental-housecleaning. It might take awhile this year I am expecting. I'd solve this problem by submerging myself in work.....but I'm already doing that (by no choice of my own though), and it's part of what's killin' me. I think I am probably the most screwed up person I have ever met. I wonder what people think of me when they first meet me. Speaking of which, isn't everyone super-curious about what other people say about them behind they're backs??? I think it would be really interesting information to have. Kinda fun, kinda hurtful, but mostly just interesting. It's kinda like stepping outside yourself, and observing the world through a totally unbiased eye. Seeing how the world works on a bigger scale. Man, I am messy tonight, this is some of the most "out-thre" stuff I've written in awhile! Oh well, that's life (gotta stop saying that) and it's do as it pleases........it has so far. LaTeR.
Saturday 4/20/96
Sleep is over rated. I am brought to this conclusion by the fact that in the past 48 hours I have broken up the time like this: 22 hours of work, 3 hours of basketball, 4 hours clubbing, 1 hour of eating, 5 hours watching TV, 2 hours talking on the phone, 2 hours of shower/shave time, 2 hours of driving, & that leaves......an astounding.........7 HOURS of sleep in two days. Plus.......I woke up with a mild hangover this morning, (although i wasn't drunk, I barely had anything to drink last night) and had to open up the warehouse at 8am (I got home at 3am, got to sleep around 4am). Sleep is not something one needs when one has not had any. I am barely able to think straight, let alone type at this point. I want to lie in bed for three days and watch basketball and stupid movies. AND GET SOME SLEEP. I also need to eat. I think I just cleared 2000 calories...............in three days. Weight watchers, have I got a program for you!
That's it, I'm going to bed now. 11pm on a Saturday night, and I'm going to bed. Geez, when will it all end??????????? HELLO???????
Friday 4/19/96
Geez, And I thought I had a good day. Most of you will have no idea what I am talking about here, but in any case.....CONGRATS Dana, new car, new job, (and ya get to go shopping) and you get to bask in the sun for 3-4 months! (Sappy, but yes I am gonna miss ya) Well, enough of that.....it's making ME look kind of boring, and the whole point of this whole Internet thing was to gloat about myself! (not that there's much to gloat about though....) Looks like I'll definately get to do at least one of the "things to do this summer" (see 4/15/96), I've got a great reason to go to Kelowna/Kamloops! Gee, ya think there's a Bungy Jumping place near Kamloops???? :)
Have you ever noticed how when it's raining your mood is shitty, and when it's sunny and hot you're usually in great mood? I think that's why I like Hawaii & Austrailia so much. I have noticed I'm a much more outgoing and generally energetic person during the summer. And I seem to be smarter in the summer too (I never could understand why). Which is kind of ironic considering that anyone that goes to "summer school" is usually considered an idiot! Maybe I should go to school in the summer now, enroll in University for the summer semester, then work during the winter.......like hell! I NEED A TAN! And anyways, I'm young, have fun. (I have to stop watching Pepsi commercials!) Well, off to.......oh ya I don't have anything to do for a few hours. Geez now I'm bored. I think I need another vacation. Nope, can't afford it. Oh well, another day in the life..............
Thursday 4/18/96
Yahoo!!!! I got offered the HEAD OF SHPPING/RECIEVING & MATERIALS HANDLING at work today. I will be on salary and a bunch of other cool stuff! Although I do have a shit-load of work to do, it's pretty neat.
Tuesday 4/16/96
I am sick. Very, very, very sick. Thanks you very much Dana & Lisa, you two have given me a cold over the phone. The only two people on earth that could do it too. The Grizzlies better get a great draft pick next year, 'cause the were really ugly tonight. Although my Mom really yelled loud. Reminded me of the soccer days, Scott playin' and Mom yellin' her brains out. I miss those days, I was so much more sane. I want to go away, and leave Richmond for at least a month. I NEED to get away from here. My mind is becoming a simple autopiliot device. Same shit, different day basically sums up things right now. HELP ME.
Hmmmm, so this is what Sudafed, Tylenol and Dristan do to you when taken together....... interesting.
One more year, just one more year of this and I'm gone. I sure hope I make it.
Monday 4/15/96
Have you ever noticed that the mirrors in SUBWAY are built for people 5'0" and under?? I went there for the fourth straight day in a row, and I noticed that. I got a great view of my chest, but I couldn't see my face (some people like it...really). Just something I noticed. Well, I've made a list of the things I have to do this summer:
I really hope I can do at least 3 or 4 of those. Otherwise my summer is gonna be shitty, like last summer. I want a dog. Nevermind. Here's a little health tip, DO NOT go to SubWay for dinner more than twice a week. My insides feel like.....well, you don't want me to describe it. Lets just say the O-Zone is depleting much quicker than before.
I need drugs. That's the solution.
(maybe not, it was a dumb thought anyway. I'm nuts as is, don't need drugs to do that!)
Sunday 4/14/96
Ohhhh geez, am I fucking tired. Watched BRAVEHEART last night. It was a great movie, but here's a hint: don't watch 3 hour movies after midnight.....you don't got to sleep till the next morning. And I think it had something to do with the fact I woke up at 9am to watch the Bulls game this morning. They won, if it's any consolation. I think I'm gonna go shopping in a little bit. I need to buy some shoes, and some summer stuff. Actually I think I just want to spend money. I don't want to go to work tommorrow, new ownership, my boss was fired, and I'm already overworked and too busy. And on top of that I have to go in at 7am now, till the place gets straightened out again. I want to be unemployed and on UI. It's so much easier that way, I'd get to sleep in. Well, my life is about to get painfully boring again, so away we go!
Saturday 4/13/96
Well, obviously I spent a great deal of time on these pages, 'cause they're pretty much all complete now. On the other hand, I worked on them at 3am......so it's not like I sat in front of the computer the whole day. I slept till 4:30pm, THAT's how I wasted my day! Stayed up till 5am though, doing this. I am achingly tired from playing B-ball the last five days straight, but I guess it's a good tired 'cause well, you know......no pain-no gain. (bunch of crap!) I am out of shape and need to get back into it. I am thinking of joining Planet Fitness, $30 per month, and I work 50 feet from it. So I could just wander over there after work. Haha, ya right, that would take effort. Oh well, it's nice to talk about it. It sounded cool, that's for sure.
