not a bad day

when I got up this morning, I watched lots of dragonball z and texted greg. then I went to work for 4 hours: minimal pain. I got home and did some emailing and music transfer to and from flash drives to optimize the power and the glory. my dad emailed me some links that were interesting and I played some electric guitar. right now the rats are scrambling all over me. overall, not too shabby!

being human: not a curse

work was good today because ken was there and we used the cart pusher lots. things picked up in the afternoon and Ian got there. he's a cart pusher like all the guys outside. my rats are being cool, I've got pictures of both of them that I'm posting. layla is trying to drink my coffee and lillith is trying to get away. I'm craigslisting it up as always. some people responded and I went to the city to pick up some tarot cards. I think the people were trying to rid their home of the evil decks, but I said 2 of them would help and they didn't ask if I wanted all. the black woman who answered the door didn't barely even say hello to me. I set up the 4-tracking machine complete with stereo and speakers in my living room. hopefully this will inspire me to use it more. I'm signing out to play guitar, so blig you later!

trying to make everything cool

yeah, I had my second day of training at walmart. I showed up walmart color... but without my name card! diane, the personel woman made me a new one and told me to keep it in the locker that I can't open and has other people's clothes and cookies in it. I finished the computer training though.
the other challenge is lillith, my white and grey rat girl. she is not being nice to me, runs away and bites my fingers when I put them through the cage to her. I gave her treats tonight and tried to make her see that I am cool. she ran into the newspaper and hid. I just sang and played "lillith's embrace" by ancient to her to no avail.
in other news, my new craigslist contact, greg watched my heavy metal guitar video and liked it. we will meet for coffee on sunday to talk about music and who we are.
I am working hard to make good things happen and not dwelling on my corrupt and jaded past. I refuse to go to any annonymous meetings because they violate my beliefs and my idea of what has to happen in order to make my life work well. it's no good to hang out with failures and sit in dungeons when my goals are in the highest towers of success shining in the sunlight of accomplishment in a future world of spreading awesomeness across the land. pardon my melodic power metal phrasing, but that's what I feel inside me. this is accompanied by the darkest of black metal furies forged in the dark smithies of hell and tempered by dragon fire spewed from the mouth of the black dragon of hatred and despair. the most evil demons of the endless pit shit their pants when my evil side shows up. satan weeps when my most abysmal feelings of loss and failure approach. torn in two by my heavy metal analogied emotions, I march forth into the dawn of a new day to try to make really sunglasses and sideways smirk coolness win.
finally, a searh for pictures to really rub my message in!

what I've been doing

these are my rats. the cage is a ferret cage which would usually run like $100 but I got the cage and food for $30. it took a lot of driving though. I went past rochester and kept going for a while. everything went ok. I got a new video game called chaos legion when my debit card got activated. the pictures on the internet are really poor quality, but it's an ultra-violent hack and slash fight game. the monsters are wild and the hero's sword is big. you do the math.

this time the neighbors really did keep me up

I don't know what my downstairs neighbors were doing last night, but it was enough to require police. this place just can't get that patented post-teddy silence all the time. i do have rats. they are 2 females and they act weird. their favorite thing is newspaper. this is what they use to build their nest. so there will be no loose rat droppings everywhere and no ruined clothing. I have built them a play area which I had to get approval from the larger and darker haired lola. she let me know when something wasn't right. i have a few different avenues of job applications going on. hopefully everything will work out in the long run. blig you later.
