Today was my brothers 22nd birthday. So, his girlfriend and I planned a surprise party for him. I like to do that for people. He actually got all shy and admitted that no one has ever planned a surprise party for him so that made me feel good and hopefully made him feel loved. Which was the whole point. Im kinda broke/just really trying to watch what I spend so I didnt get him much. The party was at the Boneyard in Mayfield which is pretty much just a Chuck-E-Cheese for grown ups. She payed for the room and I bought the food. Knuckles_13 and I split a pre-payed gas card for him, because its the most practical thing at this point, and I got him a game card so he didnt have to worry about spending money to have fun. All in all I kinda spent too much but I love him so money doesnt mean shit as far as that goes. I also got him this:



haha...awesome. I almost made him the same cake I made for Coppers birthday but there was so much time that went into doing that with my mad cake decoratin skillz but Ill admit I felt a little depressed yesterday so I decided to sleep for something like 14 hours straight.

As Im typing this he just texted me to say how much he appreciated it all and that hes been needing something like that for a while now. Aww....

Heres a blurry picture of him looking like Satan as he wins at air hockey




So, I pretty much came to the definite conclusion that I do not want to be working for one of the people I am currently employed by. Weve been having differences for years now but Im just done. Done. D-U-N. Dun. A lot of my blogs have been about him. I mean a lot. Hes just not a good person. Im convinced that he wanted to own a business for all the wrong reasons. And, he continually whines to me about things like his pay, the other owners, how he doesnt WANT to do it anymore. Im his fucking employee. You dont say shit like that to your employees. Yeah, we used to be pretty good friends but that ended when he screwed me out of half the rent money when we were sharing a place a few years back. Three days after the rent was supposed to be due mind you. Ive forgiven him for it, but refuse to forget it. It really sucks but I know that I dont want to be in this place that Im in right now. Theres just too much going through my head and I decided that I will start submitting my resume to other places that look promising within the next week or two. Ive been taking a bunch of pictures that show some of what I can do.

Here is a table I made. Its actually three tables, but they can be rearranged to make different shapes or a whole circle or just sit by themselves.








Umm.....other than that, even though I really wanted to come down for Hell City, if for nothing else, to find Gatsby and collect on my dollar that she owes me, but, its not gonna happen. Gas is too expensive and its not worth it to me for one reason or another to put that wear and tear on my truck. Or my mind. So, instead I will be mountain biking along the Chagrin River, going to the gym and then going out with a few friends later to a bar where we can bring dogs to check out The Magpies again and raise some hell with Roger at the bar.

Im supposed to be goin to Nawlins for fourth of July to visit my buddy Reggie that I was in The Marines with but Im getting disappointed because its so hard to save money. I wish he was around right now because we would definitely cause some trouble like we used to and get my mind off all the bs.

See ya 'round

oh, p.s., I got a little bit more done to my chest piece not too long ago





Edited to add this song because it gave me chills when I heard it. The sound on this video isnt that great but check out his guitar from playing with so much emotion. Awesome.
