that's just plain stoopid.

i won $40 in poker last night. well, i actually won $35 since it was a $5 buy-in. so i should be happy, right?

wrong-o.

i just noticed that damien jurado is playing in springfield with rocky votolato the same week that denison witmer is playing in springfield. i mean, what the hell? why don't they come to buffalo? half of me is telling myself to visit springfield that week and see two of my favorite artists perform. i mean, it is my spring break, so i wouldn't have to skip classes. i'd just have to skip work. i dunno if they would like me leaving for a week. especially since i was half-planning on visiting mozizzle once zach was back from england, assuming he would stop in springfield for a bit. if i had won the lottery, this would not be a problem. i could do whatever i bloody-well wanted to do. including buying $50,000 worth of bubble gum and attempting to chew it all in one day while simultaneously forming the world's largest wad of gum from one person. now that would be sweet.

i took a three-hour, 91-question math test yesterday and got a headache. hopefully i got a passing grade as well.

can i borrow a feeling?

or maybe a dollar? i dunno. i was just thinking of when milhouse's parents split up and his dad wrote a song called 'can i borrow a feeling?' or something along those lines. i don't really need a feeling. i am feeling quite enough right now.

so much has happened lately. let's see...i started working at ye ol' paint store again (that's schuele paint co. where i worked for two summers), i started grad school, and have spent a lot more money than i should have.

first: paint store. like i said, i worked there for two summers a few years back. now i am right back in the saddle, so to speak, being fulltime warehouse boy for $10/hr. but now i prolly will have to learn stuff about painting and be able to give people advice and direction which i don't want to do cause i could care less. and my back is sore from lifting so much paint. that's where i have too many feelings: in my back.

second: grad school. it sucks. i hate my seminar class and i couldn't care less about number theory. the people are mostly annoying and professors are weird. however, it is not evangel. that is a good thing.

third: money spending. i bought a suit and shoes and shirt and tie for future potential interviews, which cost me about $600 or so. my parents said that they would help out since they didn't get me a graduation gift. that was nice of them. i also bought some real clothes today since this is tax-free week and stuff was stupid cheap. i bought two kick-ass sweaters from jcpenney for $15 when normally they are $40 each. yeah: totally bitchin'.

i have three concerts coming up and i want people to go to all of them, but i don't think my friends wiil want to go to all of them. prolly just the one that is the cheapest and also not at a bar. i don't really blame them.

and for those of you who are wondering: igby misses you too and is doing just fine. he likes his new game of 'chasetheothercataroundthehouseallofthetimeeventhoughshehates-himandhissesandspitsandgrowlsandrunsaway'. it's a good game to watch and scary to listen to.

now is when i say goodnight. i need to wake up early to be in downtown by 7:30am. stupid working and needing money. i can't wait until i retire. until then, i can't wait until i move out. should be any day now...
