for anyone who cares

in case anyone wants to read about my life, i write more on my lj (www.livejournal.com/gardenhead). my comments field doesn't work on blogger. plus, it doesn't always let me post. and what's the point of that.

my life isn't that grand. but my chin is up.

here is a basic scoop of what's going on:

my work accused me of stealing money.
then they found out the money was always there, it was just a math error.
then i got written up for that shizer.

i told a girl i liked her lots.
she said she not only liked a brit, she was WITH the brit.
which doesn't make sense to me, b/c how can you be with someone overseas who you only see once every 6 or so months.
and what confuses me is we spent all this time together. and it seemed like we were going in the direction of a relationship.
i need a dictionary on girls. webster's or dr. ruth...help?
so i'm trying to get over her. but i've never fallen this hard for anyone in my life. so it might take months or longer.
grr. and did i mention i work with her 3 days a week. fuck.

school-wise. that's coming along.
i'm applying to pratt, r.i.t., r.i.s.d., art institute of chicago, and columbia college (chicago). i'm hoping to go to pratt or something like that. i would like to live in nyc for one year at least.

i'm going to chicago for thanksgiving to visit my friend leigh. i miss her lots.

oh super congrats to mlyttle for her america 24-7. i was in a bookstore (not mine) the other day and looked through it. and yes, melissa lyttle. up in that joint.

r.e.m. ticket(s)

if anyone knows of someone who needs tickets to the r.e.m. show this wed. (oct. 8th) please let me know via e-mail: abeguin23@hotmail.com. the person who was supposed to go with me couldn't go. so i might sell one or both depending.

billy bragg's best

on oct. 28th billy bragg is going to drop a 3-cd best of album. and it looks pretty good. also the first pressing will come with an extra disc. that's a whole lot to bragg about.

baleted

that was too personal. nevermind. grandaddy/sfa @ the 9:30 club thursday. word.

mending

good luck to corey in his recovery. who says biking isn't dangerous?

lights action jackson

i got my power back around 11 p.m. last night. it makes me so happy. the only problem is a naked juice mysteriously broke in my refrigerator, thus rendering my refrigerator juicy and my apartment musty drink smelling. mmm.

chief moose will be on the loose at my store tomorrow. should be crazy. we've had too many events this week. i've already worked 35+ hours and will work 8 tomorrow. geesh.

i'm hoping to go to richmond one of these weeks to visit some peeps. i don't think i'll go to the reunion. paying for that crap seems wrong. especially considering i see most of the people i want to see. or at least i know where they are.

good luck to stew in n.c.

i have to think of a good domain name so i can put some pictures up in this peace.

feeling like walter matthau...grumpy old man

maybe it's just my job. maybe it's isabel. but i just don't feel energetic or ecstatic about much. i realized recently that my support group for anything is minimal at best in this area. i have some really good friends. but some have really faded over the year(s). and that's kind of depressing. maybe i feel claustrophobic in this area. who knows. i'm figuring things out.

my job is blah right now. i babysit half the time. i don't get paid much. and i feel underappreciated. plus i'm a "yes" man so people expect me to do everything..never say "no". even though i don't always want to do that crap. geesh.

maybe once the lights come back on i'll feel better. supposedly this might happen tomorrow. if not, people will be in for a disgruntled luscious.
