Starbucks is BUSY. They have me working short shifts but every time I work all the employees that have been working say that it was their busiest day ever working. The time FLIES by but at the same time you have to do 18 things at once.
I read something very interesting a few weeks back. It was the forward by Chuck Palahniuk to his new non-fiction literature and he had an insightful but at the same time obvious observation. He said that every person needs time with people and time alone. He talked about the friends he had that were friends soley based on the fact that they were local. He talked about how writing, and reading as well, were both alone periods.
But what I found to be the most interesting thing is that it's never good to have one more than the other, which really is true. This summer I've been isolated, which happens every summer, and really it kills my productivity. I have the time to do things, but...I...can't. I need some time with people just so that I can make the most of my alone time, because right now it's eating up my day.
In other news...I need to get all the shit that i've loaned out to a friend over the years. We had been best friends for a really long time, but in the past two years, specifically since he's been able to drive, he's been ditching me to hang out with other people. Although we still enjoy each others company just as much as we used to, living in different towns and growing up with different people in our lives has changed how we do things. I hate to say that he's lazy, but really thats the nicest excuse i can come up with for him not returning any of my calls. It's frustrating trying to get a hold of him and i'm not going to make the effort anymore, so i think our friendship is prettymuch ending. I just have to go through the hassle of getting a hold of him to get back all the shit that's accumulated at his house that I know I will NEVER get back if i don't say anything. At this point he's got all my favorite books and music, so i need to get the stuff back.
It's a shame that it's reached this point, but i've done all that i can do so i'm just going to leave it at that.

Yea, my down time was killing my productivity. Now I have no time to do anything! Though I'd have considerably more time and energy if I wasn't so hooked on the gym. But now I'm a total crack head if I don't go. I have to much energy to sit still for long enough to do anything. Sunday, instead of working on my freelance job I: cleaned animal cages, removed all the handles from the cabinets in the kitchen and washed and waxed them, vaccumes, and watered and weeded the garden. I'm such a spazz.
