new years resolution, so fare so good. i have all ready completed 2 books since the start of the new year (3 if you count the one i finished on new years day, but i dont). so i have finished a murder of quality by john le carre and fear and loathing in las veges. both books are short fast reads. but so well written it makes up for it. anyway they are books i call warm up books. today i went to the libray and i picked up napoleon bonapart by alan schom. the book looks so much longer then it really is, thick pages and large print.
i picked this book because of another book i was reading that had to deal with naval war fare 1770-1815 and napoleon was brought up many times. it struck me that i really didn't know very much about the man at all and i wanted to fix that. the way i see it is, i'm never going to go to college i haven't the drive so i may as well read up on as much as i can. well, on things that interest me that is. i'm not going to read up on water polo just so i seem well rounded and worldly.
anyway i'm hoping to get digital camera for my birthday. nothing great i have come to the conclusion that i am no photographer and never will be. i just want to point click have a photograph. on thing that has always pissed me off about digital photography is the fact that people tack the most idiotic photographs! when i was in the navy people would take pictures of anything when we pulled in to port. with film you really have to want to remember something. but now i don't give a shit. i would like to sit around in my room one day and just record it. and show the world how big of a cluster fuck i am!
so back to work in the morning.thank god! i haven't worked since last month. my brother warned me about coming to work for my dad and how irregular his work habits are. but i was blinded with hate for Miami. my brother told me "Greg its not just the economy its dad, you'll see when things turn around". i hope hes wrong. i did however get paid today. sometimes all it takes is a threat. " i cant pay my fucking bills! if i go back to Miami u could latest be waiting tables or busing by the end of next week" thats also a good reason to ever leave a job on bad terms. but when i'm done with my apprenticeship i'm most likely going to move back to California. i miss it. i think Connecticut has a more ridged standard then California anyway so it should transfer with out a problem.
so musician's friend is really pissing me off. i'm still waiting for a 2-5 day package from dec 26. i think i'm going to order from sam ash from now on because things always came on time if not early. fuck musician's friend. or i could buy locally. but sometimes in small town America you can do that. when i get new strings for my bass i will. i'll go and say "hey man let me get them strings" and the delivery will be seconds not weeks! blah blah i'm going to smoke
good night nobody.
