well I wanted to update so....yeh.
Not too much going on that is really worth talking about. well I ALWAYS say that I guess. so in brief this week.
I started my new job. it sucks. but I knew it would and it's a lot of money so I am gonna just do it for now. TONS of overtime. basically I got a job with an a/c installation company in south texas in the summer. yup all the overtime a boy could want...and then some. basically I am putting my hard won language skills and intellect and work experience in completly unrelated fields to work by ripping out ducting and old a/c units and helping to install new ones. it's hot and it's hectic and it's really a physical job. maybe it'll keep me in shape. maybe it'll break my spine in thirteen pieces.
my brother and his girlfriend's spawn is finally part of the world at large. she gave birth to an almost 8lb boy the other day. I haven't seen it yet. I went down to go see it but my brother (younger) was at work for the night and since I've said all of eight words to his girlfriend in my life I figured I'd wait for some sort of family get together or something.
not that I hate my family. I just wouldn't choose to associate with them more than necessery. and I don't talk to my brother. I do not like him.
in other news I think I've decided to cancel my Europe trip.
it's kinda pissing me off a bit, but I've been thinking about it and I can either bust my ass all summer and live like a hermit on food I don't really care for and not buy a single cd or book...or I can just live my life, admit to myself that I was either overeager to get the ticket to europe or dumb not to watch me spending in the interim. and live out from here and get the things for my apartment that I need. and I dunno...try to have a life. not that I really want one.
I have other options. I can try to change the ticket so I leave a couple of weeks later...thereby shortening the trip and also giving me a couple more weeks to work and make money for it. The job is expecting me to leave at the end of the summer so maybe I can spend the fall just motorbiking around this country rather than trains around central europe.
or I could conceivably still go to europe and then depend on the kindness of family when I get back to make rent and eat until I'm working again back at this lucrative mindless physical job.
I don't know. I REALLY wanted to see Romania.
if I don't go...well...I'll be spending more than a grand this year on plane tickets that don't get use.
which makes me feel a bit of an idiot. but I guess I tend to jump and wait and see if there's actually a net....or maybe hope to land on a mime and kill us both in the process.
fucking mimes.
so that's what's up in my world.
what's down in my world is this:
as in down the hatch. I doubt I'll get through all of it, but the Jack is gone and Il Bastardo has taken a sizeable hit.

Around here no one actually goes and gets their endorsement, they just drive around on their learners because the test is a bitch and a half. And then they renew their learners every season-messed up isn't it.
I was shopping for a bike last year, and had one sold out from underneath me. I get the bug every summer but always seem to need the money for other stuff.
I still say go to Europe.
