I am getting tomorrow’s changes ready before I go out of town. The January section will be up on the 31st. No biggie. George and I are about to play some board games with Ben and Marlowe. I haven’t played any in a while so that should be fun. K…bye for now.

Just got back from hanging out with George. The 29th was his birthday. Happy birthday George. Christmas was good. I didn’t get to give all I wanted because of lack of funds, but overall it was good. I got to go to see my family in North Carolina. We don’t all get together very often, so I was pretty happy about that trip. My car started to crap out today. Big surprise…if it’s not one thing it’s another when it comes to my vehicles. Oh well. I am off to bed I suppose. I have to work in the morning, and of course continue the job hunt. I get to start reading the new book my sister got me for Christmas tonight. I am pretty pumped about that. It’s called Skipping Christmas, and it is by Grisham. I hear it is a good read. I suppose I will find out.
It’s late as usual and I am up as usual. I have been rearranging my room to make it a little more comfy. There are only a few more hours until I am off to work. Christmas is only a few days away. I am broke. I cannot afford to go on my trip to Chicago to see Mandy, much less to buy the kind of gifts for my friends and family that they deserve. Mandy doesn’t know that I can’t go yet…I guess I’ll break that to her tomorrow…today whatever. I am getting sick. My throat is sore and I have a bad headache. Hopefully it is mostly from stirring up dust in my room during the moving around. George has been sick for a while so it is likely that I caught something from him.
I’ve been writing a lot lately…just not on here. Some of it has been song writing and some of it has been in my journal. I think I am slowly putting together the pieces to a possible band for the music I’ve been writing. That’s pretty exciting I suppose. I am thinking I may just play a few shows and then that’s it for that band…or at least those songs. I kind of want to leave this writing alone for a while so I don’t get caught up in it too long. I guess that doesn’t make the most sense, but I feel that if I am caught up in it for too long I may become addicted to depression or too conceited and prone to my own voice/songs. I would hate to end up a delusional musician singing about the same problem for five years instead of fixing it. I guess at some point I would be disconnected from the current songs as I grew, but I don’t think that is a good thing. If I am trying to make some sort of art, I should be connected to it as intensely as I was when it was created.
Well, I am going to start getting the January 2004 changes ready for posting. Maybe this time I won’t be so behind when the month changes.
Waiting for something at work, so I thought I would post. I was supposed to get a new water heater today, but I haven’t heard anything from the plumbers. I need to do bills when I get home so I can shop for Christmas presents and such. I am also planning on going to Chicago to hang with Mandy. I am planning on using Christmas money to do that if I make my bills okay. I am going to start working at New Brookland Tavern in January. It hasn’t been confirmed but I think it will work out. It’ll cover my phone bill or gas at least. I am still looking for other work and that about does it for today…Actually for right now.
