Tonight I was going to post another column that I wrote for my writing class, but then I just decided that I wanted to write something else. It has been a while since I typed in an update, rather than just cutting and pasting some stuff that had already been written. But in the next few days I will be including stuff such as a column version of the shit that went down on April 29 and a column about Pete's Summer Brew. I just wanted to seize the lazy day and save the already written stuff for updating on those days that I don't have as much time.

I full out cried today for the first time in a long time. I used to cry a lot. I remember crying when my pal Dale Keem didn't talk to me for a few days in sixth grade cuz I thought I had lost my best friend. But yeah, I've never been too "man" to cry or any other such silliness. In fact, I display a lot of so-called "feminine" personality traits, but that's another column entirely.

So today I found out that my mom's car broke down and I think she might have to replace the motor (her radiatior has been acting up for a t least a year, her oil has been leaking for at least a few months, and the reason it broke down is that it was overheating. two plus two equals....) and my sister broke it to me by saying, in an email no less, that mom's car "blew up" and "don't be surprised if she taks your car for a while," which would lead to my dad's side of the family saying "told you so. i knew she would try to take your car" even though it's not like that, and why does this shit always have to happen to my mom why must i always be so broke that i have to borrow money from my sweet sweet sweetheart to buy a bottle of mountain dew and why does this fucking world have to be this way i'm sick of consuming i'm sick of classes i'm sick of working to pay mimimum payments i'm sick of being sick i'm sick of everything.

When I first got upset, I thought to myself, "I wish I could cry right now."

By the end of getting upset, I had. Alot. Sobbing and sobbing. If my honey popper dopper hadn't been here I don't know what I woulda done.

I told my "boss" (it's a loose term here) that my mom's car broke down, which caused me to break down, which is why i got to work about 45 minutes after I said I would.

So I got really upset and exhausted for nothing, because I found out that my mom's insurance will cover a loaner car and so I won't have to let her borrow my car and all is well. Which was great to hear, but a bit anticlimactic, don't you think?

So I got a little more legit and started registering myself with a buncha search engines. If you look me up on yahoo! (the polar opposite to what I consider a good search engine, but popular and so a good for me to be on in order to increase traffic), it even has a neato floating "new" symbol next to my name. Pretty Rad. If you are one of the people who don't know me but are reading this site, you are the people who REALLY should be signing the guestbook.

Radiohead is so great. I am listening to O. K. Computer right now. Yummy.

You do remember that the quote at the bottom of the page is always a lyric from the CD I am listening to as I update, right?

Rosemary (the aforementioned honey-popper dopper sweetheart) bought me the new Punk Planet yesterday. Dan Sinker has a column this month that is SOOOOOO amazing. I wish he could write his column more often, but he's busy editing the whole shebang or something....

Everybody, please sign the guestbook. I check it more than the counters.

Freqently mistyped word of the day: "soemthing."

That's all for now. Go in peace to love and serve the funk.
