this week might just kill me...
lessee...it's been awhile.
I got laid off, but started working at a cafe under the table before it happened. Triple dipped the system for a while with severeance, unemp, and underthetable. Tried to find a job in my field. Massive fail. 9 months later, I'm running the kitchen in the cafe, still underthetable, still on the gov't teat, and still looking. For a job. For...

Mmmmmm.... carnies! I accidentally went on a blind date as someone else with a guy that I would've sworn was the ringleader of a traveling band of carnies. It was way lame!
New pics posted of a musical nature....

I just chose the name justin cuz it seems to be common, ya know, not too unique. I like to blow lots of people lol
OK, it's been since February since I posted anything here. Niobe reminded me of how much of a slacker I am.
Lessee.....well, part of my recalcitrance has been due to playing music. I was part of a 2 piece rockabilly/country/twang music act that played all over south Jersey, Delaware and a couple clubs in Philly between April and November...something like 45 shows...until I resigned right...

niobe said it, how have you been!?
crzyboy:
Well, I have been busy as a one-armed Republican with a cell phone cam at a congressional page pillow fight. I pop in and check stuff, and pop out again. Regrettably, this will probably continue for some time until work settles a bit.
Thanks for poppin in ladies, and making my morning!

Thanks Jynne, I'm glad too. I'm a sucker for sunsets too, but I find sunrise to be more optimistic.
I tell ya, there's nothing that brings a sense of calm over me than seeing the sky lighten in the distant East, hearing the birds begin their morning wake up warbles, and sharing it with loved ones. Then I can almost feel the pressure of papa Sol as he begins his inevitable and timeless march across the sky.
Driving distances while exhausted can be harrowing at times, but the odd conversations, spiked with maniacal, over-tired, and hysterical laughter is also pretty soul purging.
Now, I'm sitting here, swapping files back and forth with a musician bud of mine on a track we're collaborating on, and I feel my eyelids drooping. But I'm a trooper. I'm staying up till it's bed time, or I'll fuck myself up for work tomorrow.
