saturday night, 8 p.m.

so this sucks.

my life has now devolved to the point where i do nothing but work, sleep and eat. it's been a tough couple of weeks i tell you. between being worked to the point of exhaustion with 14+ hour days and weekend work to boot, and getting the worst case of stomach flu or whatever i've ever had in my life, i'm one tired little son of a bitch.

to make matters worse, i should have gone to the hob tonight to see soilwork, but opted out to just relax at home sans alcohol and try and get my body back in shape for the next round. at least i played a little guitar tonight as a lame as tribute to my past glories in the pit. supposedly i might go see kmfdm this wednesay, but i'm not holding out any hopes of getting any support at work to let me escape on time or even after only 8 hours for once, lol. 

two more weeks though and i get a glorious couple of days off in the lovely state of washington. yippee.

as for the rest of it ... what's left? i'm beginning to think this world is going crazier than it already was. i must be getting old ... kids are starting not to make sense to me anymore. hell, nothing makes sense anymore, nobody seems to care about anything anymore, life just keeps getting stupider, meaner, nastier and far less graceful. i'm beginning to hope i die before i get really old and am left to the good graces of our younger generations. ick.

as far as the rest of life goes, read a whole lot of the bible lately ... not an extremely entertaining book, but it has its points. i'm still amazed how they get entire movies, stories and books from passages that are only a few lines long, but that's another story. i guess mr. demille could always claim creative license. a far more entertaining read was the sea wolf by jack london. haven't read one of his works since high school, and i'm kind of disappointed in myself for not following him a little more closely. very good read. now it's on to dostoevsky's short stories and essays ... a little tougher i'm sure.

and why is tower records closing? where will i get that gary numan cd i've been meaning to pickup for the last three months ... not to mention all the others. at some point or another i've got to press the eject button and get dirt out of my cd player and put in something different or at least something a little more positive. hee hee.

and go figure ... i half convinced a guy from india that karma really does exist ... you gotta love it. anyway, i think i'm going to run a few scales, read a few pages and drop off to sleep early tonight and see if i can get some positivity on sunday before i go back to the coal mine.

peace be with you ...
