Hey now!

Alright, so I haven't updated in a while, but there hasn't been much to write about really. I came back from Austin on Monday and that whole trip was just super amazing. I honestly can't describe what a great city Austin is and how superb my first SXSW experience was. I'll write more on that later. Bye now.

Yo, VIP, Let's kick it!

Let's see, this weekend was semi-lame. I worked Friday, which was great, but Saturday sucked bad. I only had one table all night, this trashy bridal shower that was beyond belief bad. Not only did they arrive two hours before their reservation to hang two streamers and place a cake on a table, but they were annoying the ENTIRE time they were there and they shorted me $40! I knew there was trouble right away because they all wanted separate checks (for 15 when I'm pretty sure that normally the maid of honor picks up the tab normally. Am I right?) but when I came back with all the checks there were only about 5 of them still there. That sucked. So Saturday was a total wash. I made $37 and was there for 9 hours! If I didn't have those skanks and had just taken regular tables I would have made at least double that.

So basically because I made no money on Saturday I had to go directly to Pete's and tell them I couldn't do the special dinner we were supposed to have tonight. More on that later. Anyway, at Pete's I chilled with a girl I work with and told her about my nightmare evening. She told me that she was the one who booked the reservation and that two of the women had been at the restaurant to check it out and she knew they were going to be trouble. Anyway, then I left without getting a sixpack for the first time since they restocked. Since February began I emptied that thing out. Then there were just crappy six packs left and I was like "Whaaaaaaaat?" So it got restocked, but without Sam Winter, which is a bummer.

Sunday I helped my Mom go over her bills and figured out exactly how much money she owes to, well, everything. Really it's nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be, so that was cool. So we felt very relieved. I was so relieved, because this had been on miy mind for a very long time. Nobody hates money problems more than me and I'm pretty good at avoiding them because I'm constantly looking forward. Anyway, then I went to Borders to get the Tim & Eric season 2 DVD. That's really good. I'm not sure if I mentioned borrowing season 1 from Ryan, but I did and that's awesome too. Great job! I've also been watching more Mr. Show lately too. I'm trying to get one of my friends into it and tonight she texted me asking about it. What I want to say is "Hey, want to watch some eps sometime?" But right now that's not cool. Man do I want to burn through some episodes with my friend though............................ Holy smokes.

So tonight I found out the dinner thing ended up getting cancelled because in the last two weeks 4 people dropped out. So anyway, that blows, but the thing was supposed happen twice already and if it had happened two weeks ago as it was first supposed to, I would totally have done it. By the time it rolled around to actually end up being this week, everything was just fucked up. Relationships had broken down, tensions were high, money was low. Some participants weren't or aren't on speaking terms. I can't wait to go to Austin right now. I love being here right now, but in another sense I'd rather be anywhere else. Things could break good or bad and it could take a long time to know. I'm thinking things are going to break bad and I'll be very sad about that. In a way I'm already sad about it and it hasn't even gotten crummy yet. In fact right now things are great. However, clouds loom and I want to run away.

Harsh economic times

So since I last wrote everything has been cool. Saw the Disco Biscuits on Sunday night and they were awesome! Went to a party on Saturday and that was cool too. In the past two weeks I've started to pay more attention to Facebook, which is just alright. I hate that people send the drinks and Green Patches and all that other BS. It's always the people you'd kind of expect sending this or that. I don't know, I can't really be bothered.

Well, it's official that the party times and chilling at work is over. That sucks because it takes the fun level down ten fold. We had such a good thing going too. It was like Scatland, if you've ever heard the song by Scatman John, which you haven't unless your SINH. You're not.

I work for the next few days and that should be cool. I need to make money right now. The crunch is on for Austin. Honestly, the crunch is so on that if I could get my ticket refunded, I wouldn't even go. Hopefully, I can get my income tax return and use that for the trip. That would be nice, but I can just see SXSW being a spending disaster. Will I ever get it right? Hell yeah I will!
I told my friend about Hell Yeah by Neil Diamond and she actually checked it out and got back to me. Friends like these.......................

Sometimes it just doesn't pay to get up in the morning.




Actually I'll throw in two more videos of crazy but entertaining songs!





Thanks to Scharpling for introducing me to Hell Yeah! Mad props to Evil E and Cool K for the other two!
