Where do I start?
Workin' at Glory Days full time some nights as a server, some as a bartender. Goin' to school part time at LFCC three days out of the week. "Hangin' out and relaxin' all cool" 24/7. Becky & I broke up in March this year. Long story. Paid off my 5k loan this month for my new car I bought and started last year. Savin' up money to travel a little bit before I get an apt. I still live at home with Mom & Dad. Itchin' to get an apt. Kinda bored with life, not gonna lie. Here's to increasing stimulation but not the population. :)
Can't wait for SUMMER. The Fray 6/14. Busch Gardens 5/16. King's Dominion 4/18.
Golden birthday this year. 7/23. 2WENTY 3HREE on the 23rd. <3
For those of you still out there, drop in and say hey. Missed you guys.

As I sit here, with coffee and cigarettes on my breath, I thank God for this time to sit and think.
My dad placed a personalized bill, with stuff I owe listed, on my bed last night. (below is what the bill entailed)
$85 - Cell phone (because I went overon TXT's and downloads last month)
$80 - Car insurance
$40 - Petroleum he bought (on a cruise he took out in town with my car)
$ ? - Transmission (and labor costs) - the question mark is there to ask me what I think is reasonable
_________________________________
$205 - Minimum total by September 30
The cherry on top was what was written at the bottom.
"Rent will start Oct 15, 2006 and will be $75.00 a week."
(I talked to my dad tonight and asked him for $40.00 a week, he complied and said it was reasonable. Then at the end of our conversation, he told me that rent won't even start until November, and then he told me, "no, January." "We just want you to budget your money."
I told my dad about my baptism, and that it was going to be on October 8th. He told me he had off that weekend, I was filled with surprise and compensated by joy. Told him what would happen, didn't care if it was cold, and who I wanted to be there. Asked him to invite some of his family if they'd like to fly out.
My parents have never given me a curfew and now I have to be home by 2AM every night.
I think on the days I have to work the following afternoon I will arrive home (to surprise my parents) by the stroke of midnight. They have complained time and time again (but never given a curfew) that I come strolling in at all hours of the night, and they don't like it.
A good day.I'm Feelin':  grateful Jammin' To: Mystic Inn - Mesmerizing |
I feel as if that's what's about to happen.
I'm unhappy with my job. I'm unhappy with my living situation. I'm unhappy that I can't get up to fix either of those two things. I can't wake up in the morning, leaving me to keep this job which sucks. If I could change that around and not go to bed at 3:30 in the morning every night and wake up right before work, the opportunities would be endless. My parents bug the crap out of me for staying out late after work. I don't want to come home and just sleep, especially after hyping up on coffee and cigarettes. I want to express myself to my friends whom I care deeply about. I want to have a good time and not worry that my mom is at home in her bubble of worry over what time I will be getting home. Also in her bubble of worry is she always thinks I'm going to get in some big car accident that will take my life. Reasonable, yes, since she's my mom, but I don't want to hear that every night when I come home at 2 or 3.
Last quote from my mom, 3:23am "Errick, go to bed." See what I mean?
I need to get up early, I don't want to stay up late.
I need to get up early, I don't want to procrastinate.
Thanks for reading. Take it easy, all.

Errick: At age 33, your head will explode after being exposed to Britney Spears for thirty-six consecutive hours!
Side comment -- I don't see that as bad, and I probably wouldn't die from it. Seeing as how I listen to her music sometimes, anyways. Now if the song Anticipating was stuck on repeat for those thirty-six consecutive hours, maybe then. But I wouldn't die just from being exposed to her, no way.

| » Why do I say I want to hang out when really I don't? |
|---|
I get myself trapped in that situation a lot. I mean to say "Hey, this was fun, I'll see you around." I did a Chandler. "I'll call you." Oh my gosh, I might be in trouble.
Then these people that I say this to, plan other things around the time approx. that we might be hanging out, and I figured out that one of them wanted me to hang out with their friends that I don't particularly like, and they don't like me, either. I'm not going to force myself to be friends with someone who won't give ME the time of day. I have enough relationships of people sharing their problems to me, to extend my arm longer, and grab three more. No way. I'm not doing that. And then the person I originally planned to hang out with, they couldn't understand that after watching a TV show over at someone's house and then abruptly leaving is rude, sure I stay around for a little while after anyways, but if a discussion occurs and it's meaningful, I'm going to stay. I gave no time of when we were to hang out. This person stays up 'til 4 in the morning every night. They can hang out whenever. But no, they said "I'm going to hang out with Errick around 9 (when the show got over) and then after that, I'll call you." I left my friend's house, I was watching TV at, around 11. I know that's late, but I never scheduled a time when me and this other person would hang out. We're not dating. Therefore, I don't owe it to them. And if you are going to proceed and pack on other plans, do those first, and call me afterwards. I would have been fine with that. But they wanted me to go with them so that they wouldn't feel as uncomfortable because an ex of their's would be there. Funny how that works, yeah?
I shouldn't have said I wanted to hang out.
And then the next day, I was supposed to go over to that person's house and get a picture done for an abstinence poster that this person's mother was doing for the KISSN program. But I slept all the way through it until 5:30.
Yesterday was one of the worst days, ever.
And then last night, I stayed up until 4am watching Boys on the Side. And then I woke up today at 4:30. I'm annoyed with my sleep schedule. I want to wake up for my alarm.
I need to go to bed earlier.
I need to read the Bible more. I need to pray more. I've been lacking. And that sucks, because when a relationship as important as one with the Father is lacking, everything else in general seems to just suck. From my experiences, that's true.
Lord, forgive me. Please Jesus. Give me time with you today.
And tonight, I'm going bowling and I'm going to have fun.

Jason Mraz, Boy Meets World, Germany, 12 Stones, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera.
Just some things which they could be icons of and I'd be happy.

"fine dining"
i keep a good luck charm
tucked under my arm
cause she told me to
a little soft and round
like a penny found
she said keep an eye on you
in case i try and do
something stupid
she's a little bit of life
a paragraph, a point of view, a messenger
she's reading middle sex
and i'm on salinger
so it may come as no surprise
why i'm the perfect guy for her
she's mine
loves her wine
and fine dining
that's right, she's mine
she's so fine
and loves fine dining
when i'm in the shower
i take about an hour
and i think of her
girl, i'm a dirty boy
with the bathtime toys
the fog rolls in and it's ships ahoy
i pretend i'm her gilligan
and she's marry anne and ginger combined
well my honey's so funny
she's money
she never means to undermind
she knows i love my job
but i love her more
so it makes no difference
either long distance
or over time
she's mine
she loves her wine
and fine dining
she's so sweet
oh so petite
oh so completely entertaining, oh
she holds my hand
we love to dance
oh so romancing, oh
she is mine
we pretend our friend is a minister
he wears a cap and gown
and he pulls a crowd
and he walks us down
the aisles to where we say our vows
we say our vows, we say our vows
and pray
considering her space and her miles from graceland
hook me up
i need a strong soy latte
make it grande
and wake me from my nightmares
and keep me safe when she's not there
don't call me crazy
because she's mine
she loves her wine
and fine dining
she holds my hand
and takes the chance
at sweet romance
and also disco dancing
oh see she's mine
she loves her wine
fine dining
yes, she's mine oh mine
lover her wine sometime
yes, she's fine oh fine darling
let's make out
(j. mraz) i want a studio version. NOW.

...I get on a weird Tori Amos kick. I love her pretty but dark music.
For example, I had never heard the song "Cooling" before. But how could I resist when looking at the lyrics? See for yourself.
"So then love walked up to like
And said I know that you don’t like me much
Let’s go for a ride"
My favorite lines out of the song easily portray why I love her clever music.
Dig out something old you haven't listened to in forever. It just might make you happy this holiday season.
Much love to you all. Happy Holidays, meaning Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! :D

Because in a few short hours, my last day at the credit union will take place.
I was late for the last time. I've had two warnings (one oral, one written, and the third is automatic dismissal). And never have I ever wanted to run over a bunny rabbit so bad.
I'm going Bowling tomorrow night, though. Hopefully that'll make up for it.
I cut my hair today and I think it looks good. :D
Well, there you have it folks. I'm now looking for a job so I don't run out of money all quick. I'm thinkin' Chili's. I've always wanted to be a waiter. Hopefully, it's fun work.

"down"
Let's get crazy,
Talk about our big plans
Places that you're going
Places that I haven't been
Build my walls up
Concrete castle
Keep this kingdom free of hassle, YEAH
I hear sound echo in the emptiness
All around but you can't change this loneliness
Look what you've found, I've fallen down
(something corporate)
