I'm leaving for Boston in about 5.25 hours. Why am I not asleep? because I didn't finish tying up loose ends until just now. Fuck, being responsible really keeps you busy.
In other news I just got myself paid! *CHA-CHING*
This was my highest paid web site EVER! I got paid exactly what I think it was worth. I will never low-ball my skills ever...

So much going on, I feel like I'm in a hamster wheel. First I have to prepare the store for closing. I have to cancel all of our summer/fall orders, call all our vendors and all the companies we get catalogs from (looong list), inform the utility companies, create a radio spot, pay for said spot, and contact all the people who consign to us...

Yo...I was wondering -- I really want to join the SGVA group, but I doubt I know anyone who's a member...is there any other way to be vouched for? You know, like by writing your name on my forehead and taking a picture or something? Anyway let me know...
P.S. -- You're working on the Ancient Art Tattoo website? Rock on. I've had all mine done at Blue Horseshoe, but I've heard good things.

This burlesque was 1000 times better than the last. We got lost on the way up there and almost turned around twice to go home. Thank god we didn't!
The show was awesome, I saw Zui for the first time in more than two years. I got to hang out with iamsynn and my favorite die-hard SGVA members, and I got to meet [drumroll] TEAM...

minimalism:
Cool, no worries at all. Obviously a mistake. I'm glad we'll be able to get the information in there. The Camping Trip will be a lot of fun and the more people that are able to come out the better. Thanks, mate.
A small handfull of friends and I have a not so funny inside joke about bacon. The punchline for one reason or another is "don't disrespect the bacon."
Tell me about bacon.

Bacon fucking rules, so hush up, Cheech! 
Honestly...I defy you to name a foodstuff that bacon doesn't instantly make better. You can't, 'cuz there is none!
And don't say ice cream, because it would even make that better!
(christ, how bored must i be?)

synnove:
oh yeah i had to come tell you the whole story! haa
well there isn't really much to it... my mom had made blt's for supper one night, and i think i was 4 or 5. there was lots of leftover bacon that she just put out on the table so i just kept eating and eating and eating... then all of a sudden i had to puke. but i couldn't puke because i was basically not breathing. i dunno it was weird. so they rushed me to emerg. and i sat in there finally able to puke my life out into a grocery bag. all i remember is that it smelled and looked like peanut butter. the doctors fucked around with me for a while and gave me a finger puppet to take home. i got home around 3am with a diagnosis of 'too much bacon'
i blame my parents for letting me eat the shit nonstop.

It was under shady circumstances, but I got a job re designing www.ancientarttattoo.com . Not difficult, that site sucks. It was built by a guy who eventually quit tattooing to become a truck driver. I took the job, like I said, under shady circumstances, with not so much as a handshake to seal the deal. When it came time to pay me...

I learned early on to get FTP access first, change FTP password second, then give them access to their completed site in a sub directory to view it third. On approval, it gets published over the original. I had to do lots of work and lots of sites before and have people start using them and dont want to pay, so i change the FTP password when i get the site and make sure my ass gets paid. works like a charm everytime. sorry you had to deal with that.

Don't forget to add a contact button so I can email him this journal entry. If he's a fan of comedy, he's bound to love the last line.
What a big long day I had yesterday. I don't think I've gotten so much accomplished in one day ever. We had the rad Memorial Day BB-Q at markotattoo's house at the end of the day. There was Eden, her 22 month old son Reese and myself, Jason, his girlfriend Amanda and her 6 year old wild man, and one of the girls...

yeah...i will agree with you that we don't know shit...because the media does not care about the truth. most media has a definate bias...and i should know for sure having only the stars and stripes to read, and afn to watch on tv. i don't know what you guys get to see in the states...but i am guessing that collectively, the public gets about 10% truth, 90% biased opinion (unless you happen to know someone who is directly involved). so i tend to take everything with a grain of salt (or sand...i cant remember).
it's kinda like believing in god. believe whatever you want...no one on earth has ever really seen god, or listened to god speak, or played poker with him...or anything. everything is taken on faith, that the people who are teaching you have the right idea. so is it better to live on blind faith that everything you hear or read is correct? or to question everything, and understand that because you didn't experience it personally, you can never know what actually happened (unless a videotape surfaces).
by the way, who keeps their tax forms in their toolshed anyway?
i hope at least some of my rambling is coherant...
cheers mate!!!

yeah, i think it's best to say..."i don't know what the fuck happened...i'm not sure i want to know, but the one thing i do know is that it is really evily fucked up."

I have been informed by Mr. mattthegoon that it is time to update my journal. I was trying to think up a eulogy for my dear parakeet Nigel, who three days ago shuffled off this mortal coil. I couldn't think of anything fitting, everything I wrote sounded too tongue in cheek. Nigel was the shit and I wouldn't want to send him out like that....

Ok, here's a boring story about me trying to get SG Pinup Magazine in my store:
Many weeks ago I called the magazine office to inquire about newsstand distribution and left a message . . . nothing. About a week later I emailed them . . . nothing. Called again a few days after that and left another message . . . nothing. At this...

With much persuasion, I have decided to make web sites for people in exchange for money. I've only ever developed one site for pay, the client turned out to be a dick so I only charged him half of what I quoted him and the site was crap. So my next client is a friend of mine who screen prints his own t-shirts. I really...

No, not over THAT. I would say I did their webcam a good big of business while I was there. But being a small business, they were just a bit low on money, and working the fewest number of hours, I was the one to go. Oh well. 
kestrel:
HA! If you do, make sure they deserve it.
What do I do? I go to school. And try not to spend any money at all.

That ALONE! makes you worth friending.
That and people who don't have you as their friend aren't cool. Who am I to go against mainstream culture?
