    Hey
    Remember me? I haven't posted in forever. Is anybody out there? Someone cheer me up.

    THANKS
    I haven't posted in a very long time. But I felt the events of today are worth reading about.

    First off, earlier today, my glasses broke -- again. So with no other functioning pair of glasses to wear, I resorted to contacts, which I haven't worn in a few years. They had an expiration date of 09/2004 on them. Oh well, I'll give it a shot.

    It worked for the most part, till my eyes started itching badly. So while at Wal Mart with my friend Erik, i bought some saline solution and Clear Eyes. Sometime after administering the Clear Eyes and venturing to Best Buy Erik brought to my attention that I had some kind of red streaks on my face below my eyes. Apparently I had either a reaction to the Clear Eyes or to the contacts themselves. Well these have gradually disappeared upon taking my contacts out after arriving home.

    So Erik, out of the goodness of his heart, attempts to fix my glasses, involving superglue, which I got stuck to my fingers. So I google how to get superglue off and find that cooking oil and lots of patience is the solution. While soaking my fingers in canola oil it occurs to me that this method of removal is frustrating me in its futility. My dad suggests gasoline.

    So I wind up in the garage, pouring gasoline on my fingers, and when I turn around to come back in the house, I step/slip in a lovely, glistening pile of dogshit my canine has left there for me. Both shoes covered.

    Mind you the glue is STILL on my fingers, and my vision is blurry due to no available form of corrective lens. Erik is in hysterics.

    This brings us to the present. How has YOUR day been?

    Shirley's is closed
    So that's it. A little before 3 a.m. this morning I left Shirley's for the last time as a performer.

    It was a good run. Many times were had, a few bad, but mostly good I'd say.

    I'm relieved in a way, inasmuch as I can move on to new and hopefully better things (particularly where financial prosperity is concerned), but I know I'm going to miss that place. It's going to be very strange not going there anymore.

    I'd like to apologize for having not posted in LJ in what seems like centuries. I suppose I'm of the mindset that I usually don't have anything important to say. But I felt compelled to post this morning and say that I'd just like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for being so supportive of me these past 2+years. You've truly made me feel that I'm doing something worthwhile.

    God bless you all. I love you.

    I hired on as a repair man. Whether I'm qualified or not is in question.
    The last few days have been nothing short of hectic, and most of you know about the events already. After all the negative drama that went down at the benefit, these people at the venue had the sick audacity to try and extort money from the very girl the benefit was for!!!! Basically, somebody lied, tried to keep money and then blame it on others. Not cool. And when I took it into my own hands to remedy the situation, I was also threatened with the police. Also not cool. And today I found out they were holding a piece of my equipment accidentally left there hostage until I payed them the money I did not owe them. Again, not cool. But they lost their battle. My equipment is now in my possession and they got paid nothing. Justice reigns. You have not won.

    I hope nobody is too angry with me for the way I chose to handle things while at the benefit. I saw something happening that I (and according to comments of many others) felt was wrong and that needed to be rectified immediately. Perhaps I could have handled it better, and I apologize to ANYONE that was made to feel uncomfortable due to my actions, including those I was targeting. Sincerely.

    Also, I would like to make a personal apology to Jaki. I'm sorry things went so awry. This was your night. And I'm even more sorry that you've been hassled by these heathens. But I have the feeling you won't be bothered anymore. : )

    Whoever may be mad at me now, for whatever reason, I just hope you don't hate me, because I still love you all.

    Peace, and I mean that.

    Turns out...
    ...that I'm not going to my grandparents' after all. We will be departing at 4 this morning for Liberty, to stay with my dad's boss's family, which I am very relieved about. It will be MUCH more accommodating food-wise, sleep-wise, and entertainment-wise. And I'm really close to my dad's boss's wife, Arlene, who is like a second mother to me. Plus tomorrow, while the weather is still ok, I will be able to access their swimming pool. And their hot tub. So regarding all that, I feel better.

    I talked to Kurt on the phone earlier. He closed with "Best wishes........................ fresh fishes". It amused me. He is going to Austin. A lot of people I know are going to Austin. Should be party. (Is party an adjective? It is now.)

    It's been a really shitty and emotional day. But I'm feeling a little better now and that's bonus. I'm gonna try to get a tad of sleep now. Take care all. I love you.

    P.S. I just had a random memory of me listening to Neil Diamond - 12 Greatest Hits Vol. II on cassette on my family's 1 deck tape player with the blue level meters, circa 1984. Just thought everyone needed to know that. : )

    Do you ever get the feeling...
    So I was just lucky to get to the Medicine Shoppe and get medicine - it turned out they were already closed (early), but someone forgot to lock the door and I walked in with like 5 other customers following me. So that's a good thing. I've been trying to pack stuff for hours. I keep stopping because I keep feeling way overwhelmed and lost and it's mixing me all up. I was already feeling a general sense of malaise when my brother said to me on the phone, "Make sure you gather up all those pictures of Mom." And I broke the fuck down. I don't know... sometimes it just hits harder than others that she's gone and not coming back.

    I wish all of my friends and loved ones the absolute best and pray that everyone is safe and sound. I'm going to be lodging at my grandparents' house, bored outta my mind. Don't be surprised if several of you get phone calls from me during all this. I got nothing but absolute love in my heart. Please be careful, everyone of you.

    I wanna go take a shower now.

    I can't even think of a good subject line. I went and saw Jeremy and Brandon play (and some other people) tonight at Shirley's. I drank 3 or 4 beers. I ate gumbo my Uncle Bullet made. I played pool with Brandon; I lost because the 8 ball went in the wrong pocket. It's been a weird day. I was lying around mostly, recooperating from my rock and roll lifestyle. I got nothing else to say.

    Current Mood: huh?

    I played Shirley's tonight. A lot of people were there but not enough money was made. I hope I get famous soon.

    That's showbiz, son.
    Hey! Does anyone remember me? I haven't been here in fo-eva. Anyhow, I been busy playing shows and what not. Played Miss Shirley's tonight. That was GP. Lots of Crackheads there. I sang East Bound And Down per Leroy's request for a song about trucks. Poo Poo Pimp also made an appearance with the ever-damp-draws classic, "Tossin' Salad". He is a force to be reckoned with, if you've never seen or heard of him. 350 pounds of pure grease and lechery. He ought to be behind bars, but then of course he'd still be prone to the practice.

    Well... bedtime for me. Got a Dreambreakers interview with the Houston Chronicle tomorrow at 2.

    Note to self: Pass the Old El Paso.

    Current Mood: w/ cheese
    Current Music: imh - Tossin' Salad - Poo Poo Pimp
