Time for bed. The cycle repeats tomorrow starting at 7:00 AM. Days left until first vacation of the summer: 10. It's still too damned long to wait...

I wish I could find a job I could be happy doing for more than a few months or a couple years at a time. I'm at the point where I don't want to get up and go to work anymore even though I enjoy what I do. It's the politics and the thanklessness of it all that gets me down. Ah, whatever... either I...

I played hooky this morning. I still have to work Job B but seeing as I never get a 2-day weekend, taking Monday morning of compensates nicely for that shortfall in my schedule. I can't wait for our mini trip to PA in just UNDER two weeks. I need a vacation BADLY.

You know, one of these days I swear I'm going to learn how to wrangle these emotions so they stop getting run through a fucking Cuisinart every damned time I let them out of their cage but apparently that day is not today. Sometimes it's a real burden being me...

Saturday morning. Gotta work. Again. How does the song go?

"I don't wanna work, I just want to play on SG all day..."

You know what sucks? Working so hard that when you finally get five minutes to yourself you're too damned tired to party. Gonna get some sleep and make it up to myself tomorrow.

For real. I started out with the best of intentions. I was going to go out to a couple friends' gig and toss back a couple shots of Patron but between having to go to both jobs today, then getting pulled over (not ticketed, but still...being talked down to by a cop really pisses me off) and just being in an overall bad mood I couldn't muster up the energy to WANT to go out. I WILL make it up to myself, though. Things have a much clearer perspective after 8 hours' downtime.

WHOOOSH! There goes another week. Work tonight, work in the AM then the weekend begins. Looking forward to seeing "Super 8" and spending some time with friends.

Last night's gig was shorter than normal but we had a lot of people wanting to sing and show their talent so I don't mind. It's more fun when more people participate. That's true of LOTS of things......

Gig night tonight. YEEEEAH!

Gonna play some Third Eye Blind, some Wallflowers, Eagle Eye Cherry and whatever else floats my boat I love open mic nights. They're so laid back and expectations are never high. That makes it that much more fun when you're actually pretty good and people notice. I love touching people with my music. It's a very powerful medium.

So... off to...

I wonder if anyone in western Mass who lives near where the tornadoes whipped through town last week can corroborate this:

I worked in broadcasting for a while in the later 80s and 90s and was constantly - CONSTANTLY - dealing with the Emergency Broadcast System (which evolved into the Emergency Alert System or EAS), logging tests, writing codes, kissing up to the FCC.. Now,...

So today, tomorrow and Friday I have the god fortune of only having to work half-days. That's right: six hours at the first job, six hours at the second. Lucky break, eh?

Knoebels: 18 days
Bar Harbor: 66 days
Days before insanity makes it all moot: 7-12 if I'm lucky.
