Don't call it a comeback

So, for the last month and a half i've neglected this thing pretty much. So, here's my renewed commitment to keep this updated.

I'm at work. It's friday. This week's cruised by, which is good. The weather is cool and sunny, which is very enjoyable. Justin Thomas is coming down to visit us tonite. The boss is gone today. I look foreward to rest and relaxation this weekend and one post of depth before monday.

Summer is fading fast

This week, i have a feeling, was summer's last gasp before yielding into the perfect time of year... yes, the fall. Today was an utterly perfect welcoming ceremony. It was overcast all day with the rain moving in about mid afternoon... In the warehouse, i was by myself, sounds were muted, it started to get dark noticibly early, and of course, I had my mellow music on, which resulted in a sweet sweet melancholy mood. Tonight would be a great time to go on a walk with someone. If I was at Taylor now, I'd definately find someone to go on a walk with. Hopefully I'll find someone worth walking in the rain with before the season passes by. (Ok, that's a little wishful thinking for you)

Closer

I thoroughly love the film 'Closer'. I don't recommend it to most anyone, but I love it. It's amazingly depressing and hopeless, but so deep and symbolic. The writers of that script blow me away each time I watch it. So, we watched it tonite at the apartment. I'm quite depressed. It's a good kind of depressed though. People at times tend to worry about me when I get in these sort of melancholy moods, but they shouldn't. I'm fine. I do my best thinking and writing in moods like this. So, don't get me wrong here, chances are, you shouldn't watch this movie. But if you must, we should watch it together so we can have quality discussions about it afterwards, to make sure that it was appreciated for what it is.

So, we're half way through september. Life's been moving along pretty well. The most exciting thing that I've discovered in the past week: If I choose to place my vacation days a certain way, i could have a 3 day weekend every two weeks from now through Christmas. WHOA! So, that means that Shorb, you better plan on a visit sometime between now and then.

My dad just called me. I've just been summoned to jury duty for the 4th time in 2 years. Some people go their whole lives without being called to jury duty. Wierd.

$3.19

Yesterday morning I drove into work with my gas light blinking cause i was almost empty. I thought of filling up at the gas station on the corner on my way to work. However, as I passed, I saw that the price was $2.57 a gallon. A little depressed at the price, i decided, for whatever stupid reason, to not fill up and wait till after work. Bad idea. I drove home only to see that the price was now $3.19 a gallon. WHOA! nothing like a 60 cent jump in like 9 hours. So, needless to say, i was in no mood to fill up then either. By this point my gas light is shining brightly at me. This morning I go in to work and stop at a Sam's Club gas station that, for whatever reason was selling gas at $2.89. I pulled up, put the hose in and pulled the handle only for nothing to happen. I looked up and around to figure out what was happening, only to notice that all the other people there were doing exactly the same thing. The clerk came out promptly to announce that they were out of gas. Crap. I had left early in order to get gas as well as some breakfast becuase we don't have milk in the fridge at home for cereal. However, as I passed McDonnalds, the line was alot longer than my gas tank would have held out for, so i drove to the corner gas station, where I had to wait to get to a pump and filled up with $3.19 gas. The total came to just over $40. To rub salt in the wound, there was now no time to get any breakfast, so now I'm at work, hungry, and lighter in the wallet. What a day this is starting off to be.
