Ok, I just got the initial Johnny Cash cover mp3 from dave82, who was nice enough to be recording sound that night. It's 16 minutes long and 23Mb (it covers our entire "set", which was 3 songs). It needs some editing (normalization, cutting, and other such things), and then Dave will hopefully release a version on the web, so you can all hear how much...

So yeah, tomorrow night, this band-type-thinger that I've been messing around with is going to have a live performance. It's going to be the single most terrible thing to ever be unleashed on a live audience, and I can't wait to relish in the glory. Basically, it's going to be just me and my friend, myself on guitar, and my good friend on a computer...

Wow, looks like my journal entry really did get you thinking.
I wish there was a easy way out of this redundant routine I'm in - but there really isn't. I am kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place right now. I cannot afford to simply quit, and every day I hope I will get fired. But unfortunately that won't happen yet, even though I am technically on the verge of it because of our point system (allowed 12 + 1 point per year, I have 12. I'm on my "honor" point. You get a point each week you don't make your scheduled hours).
There are good things about my job and then there are bad things and lately the bad outweigh the good. And that is what has me so damn down about it. There is a lot of flaws in the system that is my work environment and I have no power to change those flaws. But I just keep going with it because I need the money to pay my bills and I'm too lazy to find a new job because I'm relatively comfortable in my job. My job is secure and I cannot afford to risk losing it.
Plus I am a total softie and I know they need me because I am a good keyer and a hard worker. It just sucks to feel that you're not as appreciated as you should be and you aren't properly rewarded for a job well done. It's a thankless job but someone has to do it, you know?
I guess I'll just keep on doing this for now. Plus it's hard for me to find a different / good job because of my piercings and my lack of desire to wear stuffy business clothing 40+ hours a week.
Well, that is all I have to say for now. But thank you for sharing your feelings with me. It is good to know that I am not the only one stuck in a routine lifestyle.

Wow...last night, was, shall I say, rather intense. Went rolling, got back home around 4.30am (if you know what all that means, then I shall not need to include any more details...otherwise, it's better left unsaid 
). Anyways, couldn't sleep till about 6am, and I woke up at about 11. Amazingly, today was pretty high energy. Managed to fix my car and clean my apartment....

hrm, well, I tried to update to the latest trunk of firebird, and everything got all fucked up, so I had to revert back to 0.6.1 release. At least the "save entry" button is visible now, so I can update my journal. =)

Well, last night was interesting...I got really plastered, and then my boss called my cell phone. I don't think he knew what was up, though, which was kind of a feat.
Sheesh....9pm on a Sunday. What the fuck was he doing at work anyways?
Also, thank you all for your kind words. SG is like the family I never had....sniff!

I'll be the crazy uncle that drinks moonshine in the shack out back.
Welp, it's a bright Sunday morning. Weekend went pretty well (thus far, anyways). Strange random girl from Chicago didn't try to jump my bones, which was a plus. She turned out to be really cool, and we just kind of hung out and such.
Things with the gf-type-thing are going better, too...she's out of town this weekend, but we've gotten to see a lot more...

I appear to be in a very strange state of affairs these days.
Things with my ever-elusive gf seem to be deteriorating once again. She was supposed to call me after she got out of class; never did. 5pm rolls around, I call her, and she's out running some errands with a friend. She seemed quite uninterested in spending any time with me tonight, and...

From this journal... I find myself very much so not liking your girlfriend. I hate it when girls do stuff like that to guys. And I hate it when guys say they will call and they don't. *sigh* But, I wouldn't put up with that shit from any girl. It's just not fair to you. And if she isn't showing any interest in hanging out with you - then what is the point of being her boyfriend? You're a dahl and Im sure you could find a lot of better girls who will treat you the way you deserve.
and yes, hackers rocks.

I'm sure compaq would be happy to know their ipaq's are going to good use. Kinda pisses me off how the Waters guys all carry around their tablet PCs and get to carry them home too. Grr. Just mindless ranting as usual. -Dave
Well, I'm back in Terre Haute, for better or for worse. What a helluva weekend...missed the Distillers show, but got into another show at the fireside bowl. Bouncing Souls were freakin' awesome, and the interview was really cool.
That's all for now. See you on #sgchat.

I thought I was going to see The Distillers at the Radiohead show. Alas, the information was wrong. Instead: Supergrass. Lame.
Hopefully I'll get to see Rasputina and Ani DiFranco next month.
Anyhow, take it easy
