Court date: May 22nd.
One of my friends moved away to Texas today. He & his family made a big deal about it. I’m unphased. Moving isn’t the end of the world.
The 2006 Festival of the Arts ends Sunday. I’ve made it the last 3 or 4 years. Thousands of artists are featured, and the live music is great. I finished work early Friday & was going to take a gander at the displays [and eat some of the food], but the weather had other ideas. Bummer. Maybe I can Saturday or Sunday. And take pictures.
What a relaxing picture.
update: If the settlement goes my way for the full amount [or close to it], I’m seriously considering getting an older version of this. For everyday, not just the weekends.
I just ran into a shock: the state Senate just passed a bill that would make it a crime to sell violent video games to children under 18. Apparently, some study proved that violent video games make kids more aggressive. As The Inquirer pointed out, so does “drinking coffee, watching sport and running out of crack cocaine.”
This bill, if passed into law, would be added to the long list of closed-minded, aged laws that have made Oklahoma infamous.
Friday I helped flood a wing of an office complex. The office manager sounded like she had Turrets.
The restaurant is losing a lot of people. I was asked last night if I could work more days per week. Five days, actually. So not only will I be working everyday [along with the morning job], I’ll be working long days most of the week. I don’t think it’ll leave me with time or energy for much else.
I need to go ahead and get a full-time job & quit the two jobs I have now. That way I will be able to go to & pay for school this coming fall. As much as I despise going to class, I realize how much I love to learn, and how much I need to get focused & finish this rollercoaster-ride.
Don’t be afraid to say high Mikey. We need to chat again, soon.
Sometimes the stress is enough for mental chaos.
What’s the deal with the ever-increasing gas prices? It’s infuriating. Oil settled just over $75 a barrel the other day. $75!? Why? And in this technologically-advanced time, why does it take so long for alternative fuel vehicles to be manufactured? I think there are forces at work keeping petrol the primary fuel source [duh]. At least someone’s starting to sniff about.
With gas being so expensive, it’d be wise for me to find an alternative vehicle. I want to get a sport bike, but I really can’t afford to get anything like that, especially with my pending ‘legal matter’. But I know I’ll have to do something about my gas-guzzling truck soon.
I went to my friend Sarah’s art show last night. The show was for graduating seniors of the art school, with 15 or so students displaying. All of the displayed art was terrific. I was really tempted to buy one or two items, but somehow I managed to abstain.
My father & I met with the attorney handling our insurance fiasco. We agreed to go ahead with a small claims court suit. I’m excited that something’s finally happening with my truck. All this stress & frustration is starting to pile up. The attorney said he’ll try to file the case by the end of the week.
It’s officially summer: 95 degrees yesterday & today [and for the rest of the week]. I love summer. Tans, bikinis, frisbee…
The hair’s gone. All of it. A rushed decision, yes, but I like to start over every couple of months. It’s psychologically beneficial for me… does that make me weak & shallow? Who cares…
Who wants to go to a baseball game with me?
