Trying to stay occupied

So today I brought my laptop with me to work because I wanted to keep working on trying to get Left For Dead (a sweet zombie survival game) Demo working on the windows side of my mac. So I'm impatiently waiting for the drivers to download (long story; don't ask), I decided that I would write a blog.

I've started work at the Metro, which has been really sweet, but sometimes a little slow (note: I'm writing a blog and downloading a video game). Work at Direction is getting tedious and boring, but it barely pays the bills so I guess I'll keep working there. Until maybe I find something that pays me more money because it seems like everyone is getting jobs that's making them more money. It totally goes to show that if you work somewhere you want to work (Metro) you don't get paid dick for it, but if you work some corporate job like Josh (Chase) you get paid a lot of money. Also Carly is now a manager at Hot Topic making WAY more than I do, so she better pull her fucking weight and get us an in-store there....

Last Thursday Dave, Rich, Lily, Eric Wilson (I really want to call him Brian Wilson....fuck it). Last Thursday Dave, Rich, Lily, BRIAN Wilson, Josh and I all went to what's called the Most Interesting Show In The World. Which was basically a side show. There were a lot of freaks there. Needless to say it was insane and hilarious all rolled in one. I could go into a lengthy description about them, but instead I'll give you their names and you can youtube them, they all have videos, in order of most to least awesome.

1. Lilia Stepanova (who is hot a twists her self in a bunch of ways)
2. Kenichi (awesome dancer guy)
3. Leonid The Magnificent (you wouldn't believe me if I told you)
4. Mark Faje (balanced a running lawn mower on his chin)
5. Johnny Fayva (hilarious)

There were other acts, but not nearly as cool. We got in for free because....ya know I know a guy that got me some tickets...no big deal...

Anyway, the night of this show I was helping at the Metro set up and I got in a car accident. Don't worry I'm fine (that's pretty much for Jenna because I know the rest of you don't really care). I was pulling through an intersection, long story short, a woman barreled though and t-boned me. My car still moves, but the passenger side doors, front and back, don't open. Hopefully, I can get it fixed soon if my brother ever calls the insurance company like he was supposed to do last Friday...

Here is where I was going to go into a long winded rant about how car accidents are the silliest thing in the world due to the other person always getting pissed at you for their fault while they have two little kids in the car and clearly are teaching them that it's OK to swear and blame other people for your problems. Also how insurance is the biggest fucking joke in the world. You pay mounds and mounds of money to get your car fixed when it needs to be, but they still make you pay a deductable when you do get it fixed. BUT I won't rant about that...

The American Autumn is going really well. We have a show this Saturday at Just for Fun in McHenry with a couple other really cool bands that seem to have some pull, so hopefully that will go well have be lots of fun at the same time. We are currently trying to get recording figured out. Due to Atlas not returning emails and Gravity giving us a bugets thats...well way over budget, we are currently shopping studios to get quotes. We are all extremely anxious to get new stuff up and done with so we can release this split, but as usual, it's taking much much longer than anticipated.

Also my birthday is coming up....
"Hey just wanted to let you know that my birthday is coming up"

"Hey just wanted to let you know I didn't get you anything"

My loving and wonderful girlfriend has been giving me little gifts nearly every day until my birthday comes where she gives me my real present? Its mostly candy and some other neat stuff, but I haven't been short of bulls-eyes lately (and fuck off to the people that say they don't like bulls-eyes).

I think thats as much of an update as you are going to get. I still have 12 min to go for this download, but I supposed I should get some work done. Or at least continue to drink Dr. Pepper out of this coffee mug (it gives me cred because it sort of looks like coffee).

"Why is your coffee carbina..."
"So's your face"
