Ooookaaaaay. I am a little scatterbrained this afternoon. I have a lot to do in a small amount of time if I don't want to live here this weekend. I am already working Sunday (which effin sucks) afternoon/evening and my landlord is going out of town so they want my rent before they leave. You gotsta love the "hey, can you pay your rent early" calls. The biggest irony to me is that I actually can say ok. When I lived in New York, I lived in this shit hole 1 bedroom basement apartment (and I use that word loosely). My rent was $340 a month and there was never a month where I could have paid my rent early. No way, no how... ahhh... the Raman noodle days. Those were some memories... mixing crackers with hamburger meat to make it look like more meat. Price shopping different grocery stores to see who had the best Raman brick price... 13 cents? Are you fucking mad! That's outrageous! They're a nickel at [insert favorite grocery store name here]. Yep. I was there. My rent is $1600/month now and I barely remember what Raman tastes like. It's like prison. I'll never go back alive. However, experience has shown on more than one occasion that a wise man never says never. So maybe I'll get some Raman at the store tonight and have an "old school" feast. I just need to find some Genny Light in Houston. My brother emailed me to wish me a happy weekend. That just rocks. I have seen him and talked to him a grand total of 20 minutes in the last 25 years and he emails me to wish me a happy weekend. Happy me. It looks like tomorrow is going to be wet and nasty at the Warped Tour, but I just don't care. Rain is good. Mud can be washed off. I smell fun.

I've only been doing this blog thing for about 6 weeks. I have made some new e-friends and whether anyone reads my site or not, I enjoy expressing myself. However, since I know that at least my friends read here, I'm going to do a little unsolicited pimpin' for someone else that I know reads my page. She has a son with Tourette Syndrome. If you have a few minutes, read this. She is entering in this blogathon thing that I'm sure many of you know about and are either participating in or sponsoring someone you know, but if you aren't sponsoring someone and want to show some support, please sponsor her. Her selected charity is supporting tourette's syndrome treatment and research.

I received this picture in an email today. Apparently some guy try to spin start the engine his plane without setting the brakes. Between this plane and the 6 others his run away prop (attached to his run away plane) destroyed before stopping did about $2 million in damages. As a licensed pilot, I find this completely amazing... but hey, I guess shit really does happen.
