OK, I finally decided on the shoes I'm wearing. The winner is...The Red/Black Patent Steel Toed Quad Sole Three Eyes. I love those shoes. They're low cut, but very sturdy and they're steel toed. Woohoo! I probably want to get in the shower as I'm supposed to be in the Falls by 5:30 and it takes me at least 1 hour and 15 minutes to get there going up 44 to 224 to 91. I'm not driving the Baron on 77 and taking a chance on overheating while stuck in traffic. Piece of shit!

OK, I'm off. I'll probably not update this thinige until Friday afternoon, so until then....Byeeeeee!

Blah, Blah, Blah...

Totally don't work at the storage place anymore. Suffice to say I got fed up with her shit, and she fired me. Well she fired me after I told her to be quiet and let me format letters the way I was used to. Then she also tried to bitch about my pants, but they are Dockers brand so that pissed her off even more. That's OK though, as Kelly Services called and they found me a job. Here's the particulars:
In Alliance, about 15 minutes from my house.
I'd be collecting on mobile home payments that are less than 10 days past due.
Hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 10AM-9PM with an hour paid lunch and two 15 minute paid breaks. Friday is 8AM-7PM with the same break/lunch deal.
Dress code is jeans, t-shirts, shorts, sandals, boots, tennie shoes. Really anything as long as the "important areas" are covered. No tank tops, or belly shirts (oh darn).
Now the good part...The pay rate is $10.45 an hour to start, and after 90 days if I'm hired directly by the company, the pay rate doubles to $20.90 an hour!!!
The only bad part is I don't start until August 11th. Yuck!!

Whee me!! I also have an interview at St. Luke's Senior Care Center on Monday, August 1. I'll go to the interview as maybe they'll hire me and I can work there until my new job starts on August 11. Woohoo!

Type O Negative at the Cleveland Odeon in less than 12 hours!!! The show starts at 8PM, and I plan on being 3 sheets to the wind by 7PM. I haven't drank in a long time, and since I'm not driving, I'm getting sloshed. This will be fun.

Hall of Fame Ribs Burn-Off starts tomorrow/today (Thursday). I may go on Friday after Andrew's birthday party, if not I'll go on Saturday when Quiet Riot is playing. Hootie and the Blowfish are playing today, and some country guy is playing on Friday. Bleh.

Bah, what shoes should I wear to the concert? I'm thinking about my camo steel toed boots, but I dunno. I'm not going to be down on the floor, so I don't need that much foot protection, but I may wear them anyway. Or maybe I'll wear the logo Docs. I dunno, I'm sure I'll figure it out, though.

OK, I'm off. I have to hang up all of my laundry, and figure out my shoes for tomorrow.

Byeeeeeee!

I saw the Jimmy Smits NYPD Blue death episode this evening, for the second time. I'm a dork, you know I cried through the whole thing. Yeah, so I have a "thing" for Jimmy Smits. Too bad.

Work tomorrow (Wednesday) at the storage place. I interviewed this evening for a different job, and I forwarded my resume to a local temp service. Hopefully I'll find something else soon. I'm sure I'll wind up telling that woman to fuck off tomorrow/today (Wednesday), so I'll need another job soon.

Nighty!

Ack, I was only at work for about 5 minutes today. First of all I felt like I was coming down with strep throat. Second of all, she was going to send me home anyway due to my shirt and pants. Now remember, this is a self-storage place. I had on Tommy khakis and a white Tommy tuxedo shirt, both pieces purchased from the girl section so it's not like I was dressed like a guy. She states I can't wear that shirt to work, and my pants have to be Dockers and they have to be ironed. Yes, they are brand specific. I told her if they want me to purchase a specific brand they should either furnish the pants, or give me money to buy them. I have to wear Dockers with tennis shoes, a t-shirt (they provide) and a ball cap (provided by them as well). Also, the t-shirt and pants have to be dry cleaned and ironed!!! At least the company will pay for the dry cleaning, but still it's just the whole deal that it's a fucking SELF-STORAGE PLACE!!! I don't have strep throat, but I do have a sinus infection and my thyroid is all screwed up. I am now taking an antibiotic 3 times a day, an expectorant 2 times a day and the following pills one time a day; Bextra, Synthroid and Zyrtek. Darvocet and Ultram are as needed for pain (arthritis sucks!!). I am fucking old and falling apart.

Interview tomorrow evening at 8:30 to be some guy's personal assistant. That would rock!!! I can wear sweats to work if I want, and he pays $12/hr for 25/hrs a week!!! Fucking awesome!!!

I bought the cutest phone today for my room. All of the Joe Boxer stuff is on sale at K-Mart so I broke down and paid $10 for a phone. It's hella cute; yellow with the JB smileys all over it. It even has caller ID!! I bought the new Dove face wash too. If the face products are as good as the shampoo and conditioner, I'll be addicted in no time!!!

I'm feeling better in general, and I feel as though things are changing for the better. That's a nice way to feel.

OK, gotta finish up my laundry then catch Smits on NYPD Blue!!

Byeeeeee!

Louisville is underwater again. Route 44 is closed, as is Route 153. I have no idea how I'm going to get to work tomorrow as it's still raining. Bleh. Speaking of that job, I have a feeling that woman is going to piss me off tomorrow. She had no idea how to use a computer less than a year ago, and she just got her GED two years ago, when she was 53. Yet she tries to tell me how to use a computer. 'Scuse me, but no. I'll probably wind up mouthing off and getting canned, but I'm not putting up with any shit from any employer. My last two jobs I went way above and beyond my job description, and was treated like crap at both places. No more favors from Lisa.

I have a headache and am going to bed.

Bleh! Giant Eagle hasn't had those wings for 3 freakin days!! Have more food!

I golfed yesterday and today (Friday and Saturday) and learned something very important. I suck at golf. OK, maybe whacking the hell out of balls a'la driving range style isn't technically golf, but I still suck at it. I'm only good when tee-ing off on a baseball field with a number 3 wood into a strong wind. Don't ask.

On the way home tonight, about 5-7 miles from my house, I got behind a drunk person. How do I know they were drunk? OK, it was 2:35AM and they had just pulled out of a bar parking lot. Plus they were going 20MPH in a 40MPH zone which is usually more like a 50-55 zone (most of us who drive through that zone a lot just ignore the speed limit). I went to pass them (doing 40-tops) and they swerved to the left. Crackheads. People like that are on the roads, yet the cops are too busy giving out $86 tickets for not having a rear license plate light to arrest asses like that. Go figure.

Um yeah, the LeBaron has started acting up again. If the temp is over 70 degrees outside, and I go over 50MPH, the car overheats. So if you see me sputtering down the highway going 50MPH, cut me some slack as my car is a piece of shit. I still haven't taken my ass to the title bureau for my GTI. I really, really need to have that done this coming week. I get off work at 5:30, so I should be able to make it to the Massillon AAA office by 6:30. I hope.

I went a little nutty at Gabe's on Friday night and purchased 8 more pairs of Sanuk sandals, bringing my total to 11 pairs. I could not pass up brand new/tags still attached Sanuk sandals for $1.10!!!!!! Yes, $1.10. One pair was actually .70!!!! Deals like that just beg to be taken advantage of. And the coolest part was most of the sandals were size 5 and 6; must have been my lucky day! Other than that, Gabe's sucked. I did buy a pair of comfy soccer shorts for $3 and the cutest t-shirt for $4. It's white with a British flag on the front, and over the flag it says something like "I find you revolting". Very cute, and will rock out very much with my British flag Docs. Yessssssss.

OK, I'm falling asleep so it's off to bed for me.

Nighty!!!!

Christ in a taxicab, people need to stop with this shit at 9:30AM!!! The landlord is next door banging on the walls of the townhouse, and the carpet cleaning guys are here too. Can't a person fucking sleep? Jesus!!!!

Since I'm up, I guess I'll retrieve some hot wings from Giant Eagle. Bleh!!!

Morons!!

More ways to jack up your PC, coming soon with AOL 9.0

OK, the rental car is rented for the TON Cincy show. I did tell the rental lady the wrong days, though, so I need to call her back tomorrow morning to correct it. The Cincy show is on August 5th, not August 8th. Duh!!

Finally, after 2 freaking hours, I got the hood up on my GTI. I totally don't need to replace the hood release cable as it's sooooo easy to get the hood up on that car. I felt so dumb once I figured it out. I had the damn grille out and everything. Suffice it to say I can have the hood up in 10 seconds or less, without the hood release lever. I did feel quite handy when I figured it out all on my own!!!

I'm finally getting the GTI legal plates tomorrow/today (Friday). I didn't do that when he was at the doctor because I couldn't see splashing out the funds for a car I couldn't drive. That mentality got me a $5 late filing fee, so here's a breakdown of the total: $5 regular title fee, $5 late filing fee and $35.75 tax for a grand total of $45.75. Plates will be another $10 or so as I'm not transferring my custom plates until my birthday at the end of September (23rd to be exact; cards and gifts are appreciated). I'll purchase new plates for 2 months. Woohoo!! I also remembered I have two free oil change coupons that I have to use by the end of the year. Fuck George and his incompetent assed self. He's not getting his grubby little mits on my GTI ever again!!! OK, that's enough of that.

I start my new job Monday morning at 8:30AM and I'll work all of next week, Monday-Friday, from 8:30AM-5:30PM with a half hour for lunch. My regular schedule is 2 measly days a week, 8:30-5:30!! Nice, yes?

I need to call Glenville in the morning regarding readmission for Fall semester. I need to know how much, if any, aid I'll receive. If I get $6,000 or over I'm going back to Glenville on August 27. If not, I guess I'll keep working. I so hope I receive enough financial aid!!! Working sucks!! Not really, but I'd much rather be in school; I like learning.

Hot damn, the Domino's Pizza plaza about 2 miles from my house has Pepsi Blue in the vending machine. I am so excited!! I love that stuff and can't find it anywhere. Woohoo!

Only 2-3 more episodes before Smits dies in NYPD Blue. Then what shall I do for my nightly Smits fix?? Argh!!

OK, I really need to do laundry if I expect to have any clothes to wear this weekend. OK, so I'll have clothes to wear, but they won't be my favorite clothes. Big difference.

Nighty!!!

Woohoo, I will see Type O one week from today in Cleveland!! I can't wait. Then the Cincy show on August 8th. Yay me!!

I went to George's today, and he's pulling some shit regarding the gas in the oil situation. He's claiming he had nothing to do with it, but my injectors may need adjusted. So I can see it now; I'm going to take my car over on the 30th and he's going to try and charge me another arm to adjust the injectors. I'm going to have a little conversation with him today (Thursday) and find out what he plans on doing, and how much he plans on charging me. If he plans on charging me anything, I'm telling him to shove it. I can take it to Kempthorn VW, have the oil changed for $20 and be done with it. Besides, they are VW techs so I trust them a lot more!!

I still can't wear my hair down, and it'll probably be 6 months before I can. Fucking shit!

All right, I'm off.

Just so everyone knows, I'm not spening my own money. Jess has me on a mission for Frankie B's at Gabe's and you know I'm gonna hook her up!!!!

Woohoo, finally my boots are selling!! I've sold 3 pairs in the last 24 hours with one more pair possibly selling as well. Things may be looking up, if only I had all of my hair. Fucking cunt!!!

OK, I'm off to shower then it's off to Gabe's for the second day in a row. I've got shopping to do!!!

I went for my drug test today, no big deal. It quickly became a big deal when the bitch cut off a huge hunk of my hair. I was under the impression that they had to pull 5-6 strands, with the root included. Oh no, silly me. The bitch cut a gob of my hair off, right at the top of my head. Now I have a bald spot. You think I'm kidding? I'll upload the photo as soon as I get new batteries for my digi cam. As soon as I saw her with a fistfull of my hair I started bawling right there in the office. She DID NOT tell me she was cutting my hair until after she fucking cut it. Had I known, I would have refused the "procedure". No job is worth that shit. I know, it's just fucking hair. But not to me. My hair is my pride, and she fucked it up. I come to find out I wasn't even supposed to have the "hair test"; I was supposed to have the "pee test". The only thing I can do is go back in there and bitch. It won't do anything productive, but it will make me feel better. I totally cannot wear my hair down at all. This is such fucking bullshit. It took me forever to get my hair that long, and now it's all fucked up.

I did get a Care Bears comforter today, and another pair of Sanuk sandals, but that's so trivial now that my hair is gone.

Hey kids, I finally uploaded my new GTI pics. There are photos from all angles, and they're pretty good too!!! I have one of the photos on my blog, and the others I'll have linked from my webpage. If I'm feeling nice I'll link them from here too.

OK, that's it for now.

Swenson's here I come!!!

Bleh.

Fucking morons. I've had 6 guys IM me within the last hour "wanting to chat". Now my profile says not to bother me, yet they still do. And people wonder why the Internet gets a bad rep.

On the GTI front...There is gas in the oil because George got fuel in the oil when he was fucking with my fuel system. The guy at Clarke VW, and the guy at Kempthorn VW, told me that when they do fuel system work, especially what my car needed, they always change the oil. They both told me to call George and tell him I wanted a free oil change since he got gas in the oil. I did call George and he told me to bring it in next week. He also claimed the emergency brake doesn't work due to the rear calipers. Full of shit he is!! I've learned my lesson and will no longer take my GTI to anyone other than the VW dealer. Yes, I'll pay a lot more, but at least it'll be fixed right and in a good amount of time.

Going to the Wink's and Brunswick car shows tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon/evening. Rock out.

Nighty.

Bah, it just never stops with me. I went out this evening to check the GTI's oil level and the fucking oil smells like gas. The oil looks fine, nice and amber colored, but it still smells like gas. I don't know if that's because the fuel stuff was just replaced or what, but I am going to call George in the morning (Friday) as my oil did not smell like gas prior to him fucking with the fuel system. He also needs to fix the damn emergency brake that was supposed to be fixed the last time he had it. I've had the car 8 weeks total, and he's been in the shop 6.5 of those weeks. Nice, yes?

Got a job today! I have to take my drug test and have my background check, then I can start. The only thing my background check will find is a bunch of speeding tickets!!! I rock!

Needless to say, I'm not in the best of moods due to George fucking up my baby. However, the Baron ran quite well today. No overheating hissy fits or anything else bad. I was shocked.

OK, I'm going to bed.

I should be in a good mood, but instead I'm in a crabby mood. I drove my car around for over an hour today and he ran great. I got home and the oil light briefly came on as I was pulling in the driveway. I parked him for about 45 minutes, came outside to move him and there was oil underneath him. I really have no idea how he's leaking oil as all of the seals have been replaced, the oil filter is new and so are the sending units. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I got a job today, and was called for another interview at an optometrist office. I start my new job on Monday, but it's only 24 hours a week at $9/hr. The optometrist office is 35 hours a week at $10/hr. Plus he'll train me to be an assistant. I dunno what I'm gonna do, but most likely go with the higher paying position as he provides paid medical and optical insurance as well as a 25% pension plan (he pays 25% of my yearly salary into a pension plan for me; I pay nothing). I'm just happy to finally have a job again.

Since I'm feeling so crabby, I'm going to bed.

People who email me with questions about my eBay stuff are cool. They become uncool when they ask 3 or 4 involved questions, tell me what they're hoping the answers are, and when they receive the "right" answers they still don't buy the item. Even after I take an hour or so getting the info and taking pictures, they don't buy the item. Don't waste seller's time if you're not truly interested in the item. That is my Public Service Announcement for the day.

I finally got my GTI today. The fucking emergency brake still doesn't work, so I get to make a return trip out there tomorrow to bitch about that. I can't drive the car until I get legal plates, and I can't get legal plates until I pay the taxes and have the title printed up with my name on it. The rear calipers are bad on both sides, or at least that's what George says. I'm going to take it to T & T Tire in East Canton as they do brake work on all of my family's cars and they do good work with excellent prices. Case in point: George wants $450 for the loaded calipers with brake pads, and labor. T & T wants $425 for loaded calipers, pads, all the hardware, rotors, if I need them, and labor! Without rotors it's around $300! Woohoo!!!! My main priority is getting downtown to the title bureau so I can get plates as I'd like to drive him to the Friday car show in Akron. He ran fine the whole way home, as expected. I love foreign cars!! His radiator fan still runs after you turn him off!! As far as I know, no US cars do that because US cars suck!! Brian's Quaalude has the after shut-off radiator fan as well. I think it rocks, but then I'm paranoid about overheating cars (wonder why?).
I took the seatcovers off the GTI today; his factory seats are pretty kickass on their own. I'm sure I'll break down and install the furry moo covers from the LeBaron as they are cute and they match my personality.
The guy I bought the GTI from is a moron. Most of the fuses are the incorrect amp, and he knew there was shit on that car that needed fixed. So far here's what I've found that needs corrected:
Low beam headlights don't work; the fuse was a 20 amp instead of a 10 amp, but I'll probably need new headlights too.
The second after shut-off radiator fan fuse is missing totally.
4-5 fuses are the wrong amps.
The left half of my upper brake light doesn't work; that's the bulb.
I need to buy colored brake and turn signal lights as my brake light thingies are clear, not colored like usual.
A good vacuuming is needed.
The sunroof has a big rust hole in it. Not bad enough that it's eaten through, but it will be soon. Everytime you hit a bump with the sunroof open a shower of rust rains down.
That's all I've found so far.
An interesting tidbit about the sunroof... I called Dave Worshil's junk yard today looking for a replacement sunroof. I totally forgot about my last Golf (the 87 GL with the broken front tire thingie) that I sold to Worshil's. He had a sunroof exactly like the one I need. The guy and I got to chatting and I remembered that was my old car he was talking about!! The dude said I can come get it fo $40, but I have to remove it myself. No fucking biggie there!! I may snatch the seats as well, but the GTI seats are much better than regular Golf seats, so I probably won't. I will take a piece of plastic or tarp so he doesn't get waterlogged sitting in that nasty old junkyard. I dunno though, if he's too stripped out there it may pain me too much to operate further on him. I'm such a dork I cried when I had to junk him. Yes, I'm that much of a dork.

I almost forgot...Guess who got two VIP passes to the TON show in Cincy on August 8th? Me, me, me!!! I'm on Type O's guestlist (which means I don't have to buy a ticket either), and I get to enter the venue an hour before the doors open to plaster the place in TON posters. I also get to meet the band, take photos and do whatever else my happy ass feels like doing. It pays to be a member of the Roadrunner Records Street Team!!!!

OK, I'm off to bed. Another interview tomorrow (Wednesday) at 2PM so I have to be up by noon.

Nighty!!

No GTI today. One of the rear brake lines snapped right before I arrived this afternoon to pick up the car. I have to wonder, what the hell was he doing under the car right before I got there, and why was he tugging on the brake line to begin with? Supposedly the car will be ready tomorrow (Tuesday) by noon. I have an interview at 1:15, so I'll drop in after the interview to pick up my car. Ass.

I went through all of my CD cases and arranged my CD's again. I'll have to do it again about a month from now, but at least they're straight for now.

Bleh.

Woohoo! George's bookkeeper called me this afternoon about my letter to the BBB. George received the letter on Friday and got all pissed off when he read it. After he read it, his assistant, the bookkeeper and the bookkeeper's daughter all read it and explained it to him. They all told him he was at fault and that he needed to give my car back now. Woohoo! I pick him up Monday morning. Woohoo again!!

I wound up getting really pissed at my Mom ealier this afternoon, and I let her have it. I told her I couldn't stand living with her, and that she never shuts up. Totally true, both things, but I guess I could have went about it a little better. Oh well it's done and over with. If I can't go back to school in August, I'm moving out.

Finally my room is cleaned up again after the Docs explosion.

OK, I'm just so excited to be getting my car back!! Woohoo!

Guess who forgot her camera today? Me! I finally found the 4 Frank Lloyd Wright houses in Canton/Plain Township, and I forgot my damn camera. At least I know where they are now, so I can photograph them at my leasure. One of the homes doesn't even look like a Wright home, it's kinda dumpy, but it's on the list as being one of his houses. I think my favorite is the one on Plain Center AVE. It rocks!!

Bleh.

Still no fucking job, and no GTI. Everyone may kiss my ass.

I want my fucking GTI back. This is seriously beginning to piss me off.

Cashland pisses me off. Call me for an interview, then call me again yesterday and not return my message. Bitch.

K, I'm done.

OK, is Blogger working yet???? Come on, do your job people!!

Honestly people, don't use big words you don't understand. Examples of said words: Honesty and trust.

Now that I have that out of the way...
Who's happy it's only supposed to be 74 degrees tomorrow? ME!! Finally some good car show weather. And the Baron won't give me too much crap on my drive to Akron. Behave for once you piece of shit!!!

My CD burner is being very well behaved today so I'm taking full advantage of it. Am I the last person on earth to have discovered the joy that is KaZaa? Man that program is sooooo much better than Morpheus, and the downloads are much better as well. I've all ready burned two full 80 minute CD's full of songs from KaZaa. Woohoo!!!

Tomorrow (Friday) I will begin the large task of cleaning all of my Docs. I clean/protect them twice a year, and believe me, it's not fun. Any volunteers to help out??? Didn't think so.

I need to figure out how to print a duplicate FAFSA thingie for the Aid folks at Glenville. If anyone knows how, please email me the hints!!

K, I'm gonna go to bed.

Nighty!!!

Why can't I freaking sleep? That's all I ask, just to be able to go to sleep prior to 1AM once this week. I've finally fallen asleep around 6 or 7AM every day this week, and tonight I even took some sleep stuff. Didn't work a bit. Bah!!!

I sold one pair of Docs today for $30. Why do I buy shoes 5 and 6 sizes too big? Because I'm an ass, that's why.

I really need to revamp my webpage. I think I'll try to get that finished tomorrow, but I more than likely won't.

Bleh.

Playlist:
George Michael "Father Figure" (See Mark I'm a perv too.)
Geoff Tate "Solo CD"

I received the re-admissions info from Glenville today. I've all ready filled everything out and mailed it back. Hopefully I'll find out my financial aid package well before August 27 (move-in day) or September 2 (first day of classes). I'm hoping to get a room in Pioneer Village; it's just like an aparment instead of an icky dorm. I hate dorm bathrooms, yuck!!!

I received an email from the Canton BBB today; they received my complaint and have forwarded it to George, it being a copy of my complaint letter. I expect to receive a phone call from him by Friday, as the BBB just mailed the stuff today, and George probably won't get it until Friday. He has nothing in his BBB file, so an unresolved complaint wouldn't be too good of a start. Ass.

I'm going to take a nap as I haven't been sleeping for shit lately.

Nighty!!

It really needs to stop with all of this storming crap. Thunderstorms are OK, but I can't handle tornadoes, especially at night. Grrrrrrrr, I need to get out of Ohio!!

No word yet on my GTI, but I hope to get out to the shop tomorrow and let him know I filed a BBB complaint against him. Ass.

Still no Piping Hot. My sleep schedule is soooo messed up, I wind up sleeping past 9PM which is when Piping Hot closes.

Dammit, it's thundering again. I'm going to shut down the computer; can't have it getting blow to smithereens now can we?

Ack!!

OK, it could stop storming so I could go to bed. I went to bed originally around 9:30 hoping to sleep through the night and to stop this staying up until 5 or 6AM crap. I was rudely awoken at midnight exactly by a hella loud storm, and it hasn't stopped since. Go away already, I'd like to sleep!!

No Piping Hot last night (Monday), so I'll definitely buy some today (Tuesday).

Going to Akron tomorrow for no good reason, but at least I'll get out of the house. I'll save the Frank Lloyd Wright adventure for later in the week.

Nighty (I hope)

Well now, that was quite the interesting afternoon. I got up at 4:30PM to a voicemail stating the whole area was under severe thunderstorm/tornado warnings. Thankfully all it did around here was rain really hard, and thunder. I love storms, but I can do without tornadoes please and thank you.

The Forensic Psych office actually paid me without any trouble! I couldn't believe it when I received the check in today's mail. Finally one thing goes right. The BBB should receieve my complaint against George tomorrow, so I'm really hoping to have my GTI by the weekend.

My home phone is screwed up, so if you are trying to call me use my cell instead. I can't call out or call in, but the Internet still works (obviously) so I have no idea what's going on.

Tomorrow I'm going to drive around Canton and look at the 3 Frank Lloyd Wright homes in the area. That will rock out!! There's one on Plain Center Avenue, one on 44th ST NW and one on Santa Clara Ave NW. I'll have to MapBlast the Plain Center and Santa Clara locations as I'm not exactly sure where they are. It'll be nice to get out of the house for a while, and hopefully it'll be sunny outside. We all know I'm not taking the LeBaron as I don't want to get stuck with an overheating car.

I think I'll order Dominos or Piping Hot as I haven't had pizza in a while. Whee.

Later.

OK, just to make me feel bad, the last song on Headbanger's Ball was a cool Anthrax song. I still think the new Ball sucked though. I'm used to the Ball when it played good music; you know 80's hair metal and real metal. I'm a dork...

Went for a drive in the Baron and of course it started getting waaaaaay too hot. I mailed the thingie for the BBB complaint against George; maybe I'll get my GTI this week. Yeah right, and I'm going to find a job that pays me $600/week for doing next to nothing. Oh wait, I had that job and it was called Pro Car. Grrrrrrrrr. I miss the guys I worked with in Steubenville, and I have no reason to go see them other than to show them my GTI and to give Dave his CD's. Fucking George!!!

Dave Mustaine is a whiny bitch, right up there with Lars Ulrich.

I finally got around to editing and posting the Reiter Moo Cow picture. I rock!!

Alright, I think I'm going to watch my Queensryche vid, or maybe there's something good on Starz or HBO. I doubt it though.

Later.

Oh my goodness, the new Headbanger's Ball sucks!! It used to be soooo good back in the day; now the music sucks. It's not even metal for gods' sake!! Testament, Iced Earth, Old Metallica, Megadeth is metal. Slipknot is not metal, nor is any of the other crap I saw on the show this evening. I am sooooo disgusted I can't even handle it. I'm going to bust out my old Headbanger's Ball tapes just to repair the damage the "new" version has caused.

Nothing went on today. I slept until 4:30PM, then got up and fucked around. I did fill out the BBB form for George's; hopefully I'll get my car back next week, but I doubt it.

Later.

I'm waiting for the redneck neighbors to ignite themselves with fireworks. People are so dumb.

If your life is so bad that smiling causes you pain, please kill yourself now so the rest of the world doesn't have to deal with you.

Bye.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

Just finished watching Jeepers Creepers. I love that movie, especially how one of the principle characters dies in the end. Rock out!!

I was dragging my shoes out of the basement, and as I walked to the stairs leading to my room, I managed to impale my foot with a piece of glass. I didn't think it was going to stop bleeding, and when it finally did, the house looked as though a murder occurred. There's blood all over the carpet and on the kitchen/dining room floors. Wonderful!!!

Bleh, I'm finally going to bed.

I'm still so fucking pissed I could spit blood. At least I have two interviews for next week so hopefully I'll be able to raise the extra cash soon. I have no savings left thanks to my Mom conning me out of money for bills. Nice, yes? Stop giving Kieth money and maybe you'd have some for yourself. Ever think of that???

I really need to clean out the trunk of the LeBaron. I know for a fact my wool Birkenstock clogs are in there, and they are hella comfy. I think I'll do that now.

Later.

Guess who was all excited about picking up her car today? Of course it was me. I called George's around 4PM to find out for sure the total due with tax (our tax just went from 5.25 to 6.50 and my math skills suck). I signed off on an estimate of $589.50 plus tax, which would have brought it to around $630. Fine, dandy. George then tells me the cost is so close to $900 it may as well be ($880 and change). This is fucking insane!! He never called to obtain authorization for work over the estimate, nor did he mention this the 2 times I called him. His excuse was "it needed the work". Well that's fucking fine, but at least call me first to make sure it's OK! It's not like the amount was only $10 or $15; it still wouldn't have been OK, but much easier to handle. I told him I have $630, and can have the rest in a month. I'm supposed to call him back tomorrow to find out what I can do to get my car. It's not like I don't want to pay him for the extra work, but jesus fucking christ, he could have at least given me a little heads up and made sure it was OK before just fucking doing it. Does anyone else think this is some fucking shit, or am I being unrealistic? He also said it needs more work as the calipers are shot; funny how they were fine when I asked him about them 3 FUCKING WEEKS AGO. Were they out hotrodding in my car? Apparently so as the calipers were "fine" when I took the car in there. I specifically asked him about the calipers as the back brakes were bad, and I wanted to make sure the calipers were OK. I was told all was well, and what he had quoted me was all that needed to be done in order to put the car in tip top shape. Fucking crackhead!! I was nothing but nice, thankful and polite to him even after he had my car 1.5 weeks to change the oil and install two oil sending units; why does shit like this happen to me? My $1500 car has cost me $2500 so far and the calipers are over $100 each!!! Fucking shit!!!!

The only good thing that happened today was I received soundcheck passes for 3 Queensryche shows, and meet and greet passes for Thursdays' show in Pittsburgh. Rock out!!!!

I'm still all riled up about my car. First it was Montrose and now George's. It's not like I bitched at their high prices (both places) or the fact that he takes for-fucking-ever (George). I didn't deserve this shit!!!!!
