A Biography: Minimum Wage, And Why It Screws Me Over
Been doin stuff, as usual. It goes like this: Weekends is sleep -> work. Weekdays is school -> band/lessons. so basically: School, then band, if no band, then work, if no work, then band. At least I aint gettin any homework. But the days just .. rolll by.. I didn't even know it was September.. well i guess i did cuz im anticipating my house.. and thats about it. The rest of it is just like.. blllahhhh. But it goes by fast. So I guess thats good. So work sucks, not because of the people, i like the preps and occasional girls i joke around with. but I get paid $5.50/hr... then taxes come out. It just sucks.. ya kno.. .some people at work they just stand around.. like night shifts, or the hallmark store (jill hehe), or the movie place. This kid I know in my Debate class.. he just recently got a job at Walgreens.. he said all he does it punch buttons (cash register). He applied online, a week later got a call, no experience, and wammo... $6.70/ hr. Thats shit. So I applied to Walgreens during Debate that day. lol Everyone I know that has a job, either got a raise after like 3 months, or they do nothing and still get paid better than I do workin my ass off. The good thing is though.. that since it will be gettin cold soon (common already!!) there will be like no-one there when i work.. maybe that will lead to less hours and that would suck also. But the kid that told me about walgreens in my debate class... he said that the Illinois minimum wage is going up to 6.50/hr.. which rocks. But I doubt that will acutally happen.. because whenever u hear about something good... it ends up involving everyone.. except you. They will probably say some dumb shit like.. its only for 18 and up... or like our home office isn't in Illinois so we dont have to do that. Thats bull. I hate minimum wage, enough said.
Jill: $6.50/hr.. Caribu Coffee.. not busy the entire time.
Sara: $7.somethingalot/hr.. Best Buy.. she just makes ppl buy crap
Tom: $7?/hr.. U of I.. fast foodin at U of I, hes used to it.
My brother: $7/hr.. ISU.. tech support at ISU. wow thats hard
Sam: $18/hr.. Tweeter.. sets up for shows that he gets to see for free
Greg$7/he: Blockbuster.. sits around, like clerks. hehe
Amy: $8/hr.. Walmart.. cashier, always busy, but the pay.. worth it!
Cindy: $5.95/hr.. McDonalds.. ok thats pretty crappy too, lol. but she started at 5.75
Jenny: $7.50/hr.. some fitness center.. plays with the little kids in the "day care" place
Nathan: $6.70/hr.. Best Buy.. stocks stuff in back at night
If you have any more (name,pay,location,and why the job is better than my sucky one), please let me know.

You're suppost to drink 8 glasses of water a day
So school started, and my classes rock! I have Acting and Theater & Debate with the same teacher (awesome), Novels which is easy, then band, choir, and music theory. Its a good day, everyday! :)
So last night we had our first football game of the season. Our Tuesday and wednesday practices have been crap, we got nothing done. But thursday we stepped it up, were on the main field, and got some serious clean of the Opener done. :) It was warm outside; SO SWEATY! Friday, we preformed our halftime show and the crowd roared! Literally lol. The crowd was the loudest it has ever been (even our band director said so. "they started getin up then they heard the first note and sat down "woah, maybe i wont go for my hotdog now". haha). Usually football games are boring, your either super cold or super hot, and they just suck. Sometimes they are fun, like last night. It was uber fun :) We played out new cheer "everybody dance now", revived the chicken dance, then showed up the trumpets by playing their cheer (hehe) "mortal combat" but we knew the more technical part, and it was awesome. Then the saxes went to OS (Olympic Star) and ATE. I had like 6 glasses of water (they thought i was weird hehe) and soup with tons of bread cuz everyone knows that the soup there is the shit (Jen McKinney know what im talkin about) and i had speghitti but barely ate even half lol. Too much soup :D Well, (sax alumni) Adam espo and Caitlyn (i still cant spell her name, oops) were at the FB game so they came to OS w/ u. Jill and Bryan showed up lol, and brenna and greg later. I was w/ the saxes so I didnt hang w/ them. I know they were crushed, haha. So week has been very good :)
HOUSE: So... we are closing on our New Lenox house on the 21st(tuesday), we pack before hand, then the 21st the movers are coming for the furniture around 9am, then wed, & thursday my mom, dad and I (bros at college) move all of our boxes to our new house. The Friday my parents are going to Vegas for the weekend with some friends. Since Im gonna be gone most of the day Friday and saturday, my grandparents are taking my dog for the weekend. The Homecoming football game is that friday (24th), and Homecoming Dance is Saturday. We acutally have a MB practice that Saturday from like 7am-1pm. Im just assuming im gonna be busy until then, so then u guys have something to read when this time comes (soon!! AH!). 24 days until I'll be in my new house!
Got the new phone number for my house. You can ask me what it is because i'm not gonna post it like an idiot.
I'm excited. I wanna have a Halloween Costume party :D
It's wearing off
And it's leaving you with such a heavy heart
And a head to match
The bottle is waiting
The cap is twisted, begging to be used
And so are you.

Bright Eyes - Lover I Don't Have To Love
I picked you out Of a crowd to talk to you Said I liked your shoes
You said thanks can I follow you? So it's up the stairs And out of view
No prying eyes I poured some wine I asked your name you asked the time
Well it's two o'clock Yeah the club is closed we're up the block
Your hands on me Pressing hard against your jeans
Your tongue in my mouth Trying to keep the words from coming out
You didn't care to know Who else may have been here before
I want a lover I don't have to love
I want a girl who's to sad to give a fuck
Where's the kid with the chemicals?
I thought he said he'd meet us here but I'm not sure
I got the money if you got the time
He said it feels good I said I'll give it a try
Then my mind went dark We both forgot where your car was parked Let's just take the train
I'll meet up with the band in the morning
Bad actors with bad habits Some sad singers They just play tragic
Now the phone's ringing And the band's leaving Let's just keep touching
Let's just keep keep singing
I want a lover I don't have to love
I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk
Where's the kid with the chemicals
I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full
I need some meaning I can memorize
The kind I have always seems to slip my mind
But you but you You write such pretty words
But life's no story book Love is an excuse to get hurt
And to hurt Do you like to hurt? 'Cause I do I do I do This didn't hurt me
Didn't hurt me Oh this hurt me
What a wonderful song. lol. I like it, good sound to it. Violins and keyboards, not to mention drum set. I've come to the reasoning that its about people fucking around & being too sad, or druged up to care who the person is.
I'm eatin.... Honey Smacks.. (smacks, basically.. they changed the name aparently?) before work that I should get ready for shortly. We had rehersal today, 8am-2pm and learned the drum feature. woot. It was fun actually, and now we only have 1min of our show to learn. Tomorrow consists of: Bryan waking me up early to go to a foreign church (we decided we wanted to check out a different church every week) cuz i promised him I would. Maybe we are weird, but it will be an entertaining (& hopfully inspirational/informative/learning) experience. Then I have work 6-close later. Then monday starts w/ school again. I'm just gonna wrap this up cuz.. I'm boring.. and have nothing else to say.. except my hands are sticky (silly Smacks)
good day.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end
Every time I close the door on reality, it comes in through the windows.

Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission. -Eleanor Roosevelt-
Whatever women must do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult. -Charlotte Whitton- I refuse to think of them as chin hairs. I think of them as stray eyebrows. -Janette Barber-

I'm not going to vacuum 'til Sears makes one you can ride on. -Roseanne Barr-
WHATS UP!?!?! oops. So that stuff up there, was from somebody, and its funny, I think. Katherine Werb told me to check out two bands (she told me a while ago but i 4got the names, lol, but i wrote em' down this time) and they are super cool. Here are some songs (lyrics) by them.
i love you like a brother
and i love you like a child
and i love you like a lover
and i love you dumb and colorblind
and i love you like a mother
even after all you've done
and i love you like no other
but i know
youre not the one...
and i loved you in bright orange
and in violet and in green
and i loved you in such colors
as your eyes have never ever seen
and i loved the way you acted
but your one trick pony's dead
and i loved you unprotected
but you only love in
red
i know its dark for good
i never listen when i should
you only see in black and white
so go on back to your own kind
and i'll go back to mine
i love you like a brother
and i love you like a child
and i love you like a lover
and i love you dumb and colorblind
and i love you like a mother
even after all she's done
and i love you like no other
but i know youre not the one...
-Colorblind
Sad(and true). But this stuff is so creative.. it's not a band that you listen to because of the lyrics.. even though most are amusing and artsy.. but the music is cool. Very.. different. I like. :) They are/were on the same lable as Radiohead, so how bad could they really be, ehh?
I've been trying to do some college stuff... everyone has been talking about college. Ugh. But what else is there to talk about that anyone your age can also talk about? Yup. I want to go to Bowling Green. but I can't. So I guess it's ISU for me.. who knows though.. i'm gonna visit some places. *sigh*But more so than less, I'll end up going to ISU. I just don't want to because its a "state school", nothin special, and I know so many people (it seems) that are there/going there. But on the other hand... I just want to leave. Start a new life kinda thing. Even though it won't be "a new life" because I still got my Tinley folk (and the ppl that will be going to ISU) back home @ break and crap. But you know, the whole meeting new people/friends, being involved (ya MB), living on your own(in a crowded smelly place), getting a crazy roomie (cant wait!), and doing what I love (music!). Even though it will be hard work (so corny), I will have fun (: (and hopfully not fail anything lol).
Well... I'm off to... do something. I fear talking to Bryan because (as some of your know) I'm a moody bitch it seems. hmm. I'm a wimp... But I probably should call him.. as long as I'm able to get off the phone at a reasonable hour because I have MB practice at 8am (picking up gary at 730, gah). I should practice my horn. I got work tomorrow, and the next day. Oh, by the way.. school started.. yesterday. and it rocks. This semester I have 3 music classes (Band, Choir, and Music Theory), 3 english classes (Novels, Debate, and Acting&Theater), and lunch. :) and I know people in all of them. its great. well, later dudes.

If you don't have anything nice to say... just say very little then run away
I havn't really wrote anything lately. *yawn* (not because i'm tired.. because i'm bored)
So it looks like those collage chaps are going off on their own now-a-days, out into the "unknown".
Went to Chicago yesterday with Bryan Sara & Greg (actually we just met greg down there.. ya, smart) I wish I was loaded, cuz I could go and buy tonz of crap at Urban Outfitters and H&M.. (and Belmont Army, but i havnt been there yet).
I took out about $50 to go to Chicago yesterday, but i had to wait for sara and bryan to get up and get to tinley so i went and bought like 4 CDs lol. Modest Mouse :) and 3 classical CDs from Borders. So there goes like 40 bucks. hehe. So I had like 15 bucks to spend at Chicago. oops. And I spent all of it on foooodd. lol. And the Red Line. So, like some of you know.. this is my next purchace:
Which can be found at http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/2317847/c/22815.html hehe. But these are $39.95. And I found ones today that I like equally as much, i think.
Thats at http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/2175224/c/19460/g/women/s/9.html . These are only 31.90! This site is really cool for shoes. Its basically always free shipping because they keep changing the date you can ship by for free shipping, sneaky. :)
So I need opinions. I like both.
And I can't write anymore because my computer keeps freezing (ARG) and its really annoying. Cya laters. :D

This is my 90th entree. lol I have no life
So, woke up early today to go to my grandparents house (in Grant Park, not the chicago one) and play at their church service. It was nice. Like everyone was like "you sounded beautiful" blahh blah blah. but it was nice because there was a buncha old people and everyone was really friendly. :) Then we went out for brunch with some people from the church. There was this kid (not really a kid, but ya kno) that has been home for 2 weeks from being away in the army for a full year. Hes like 22 and we got to hear his stories and see his tattoos (cool). He talked to me about my tallness lol, if i was staying the weekend (naw i got work), and school and stuff. Hes cool, except he smokes (eww) hes ooolllddd. So when i was walking to my car w/ my grandma she said that this kid said to her to tell him next time i come out if hes home. lol.

Starry Night/Jet Black/Black
Jet Black reminds me of "Jet Black New Year"... i think it's Thursday. *shrugs*
So Jill and I were talking about dying our hair about two weeks ago, and I wanted to but I couldn't decide what to do. Black with blonde/white on the tips, streaks, underneith? So many decisions. So I decided just to do the black, and worry about that later. So this morning, (930 i woke up, geeze) Jill and I got supplies (my blog title was my choices of black colors, I was gonna get starry night cuz its so cool, but plain black was like 4 bucks cheaper, ya!) .. and I dyed my hair black, and she got dark brown (her hair was light brown with hightlights all over). We rock. I came home and my parents... well my moms like "you didnt think to ask me first? your not 30". But I said hey its my hair. My dad said its ugly and he liked the brown and my brother called me gothic. My puppy didn't care what I looked like :) My mom later said that she likes it (i think) but shes suprised. I'm playing my horn @ my grandparets church tomorrow, hehe so that should be interesting. I can see some spots already where the brown is still there... I'll probably re-do it sometime soon(?). After I came home I went to wal-mart, bought a shirt and a (brown) bra (like u really needed to know that, lol. o well), then this new thrift store on 94th ave. I got a red/blue tie-dye shirt and purple mesh jogging shorts. Right now i'm looking at long-length pants online (for my tallness) and they are cheaper right now.. so maybe i'll get my mommy to buy me some :) This size caluclator says im extra large in shirts, 13/14 or extra large in pants & dresses. Thats crazy talk! It's callin me fat! *smash* lol. I was looking for my dads digital camera to take a picture of me self.. but I can't seem to find it. O well.. I'll do it later. I need to update that pic to the left of meeh anyways. My hair aint long ne more. hehe.. or brown. :) I felt like being spontanious.. it does look kinda odd.. but I'll get used to it. It's definetly BLACK. Well, anyways, I got work at 7 tonight. Bryan comes home today. The group is going out for dinner tonight, and I'm gonna make them try to hang out until like 230am cuz thats when i'll be able to come home tonight (my parents are having a party) so who knows what will happen. I could just hang out with Nathan but they don't have cell phones so I couldn't call him. I'll have to bring clothes to work.. er in my car to change later. I also got some purple.. er.. fushia? stuff for my hair.. like to make streaks or whatever i'm gonna do lol. Haha I just had a thought... when I take off my hat for my solo in MB.. BLACK and PURPLEY! hehehehe. O well. So much for ever looking "nice" again. muhahaha. I don't really care. I'm not sure if i want to put that stuff in anyways... i wanted to bleach my hair and put pink in... but i just bought this stuff cuz it also looks cool. But I might buy pink crap later.. who knows. Sorta strange.. I didn't update yesterday. I dont even remembe what I did.. I know I worked 4-close. O yea, sax party was yesterday. Then I worked Briannas shift. Well I'm gonna go do somethin before work cuz no-one is online and stuff.

I'm boring, squared.. like a Japanese panda, says you! [#5]
11am. looks like I didn't get a chance to uh.. update the thingy.. last night. (sorry i'm kinda tired). Kinda (kinda??) dorky, but I'm listening to the IMEA choir from last year, its so perdy! hehe Well uh... yea... so, lets see. Yesterday, I did crap, went to New Lenox to run, came home, ate dinner (i think), hung out w/ Nathan n' clan (this time 7 people instead of 5!) That was not very eventfull.. yet, i suppose, always amusing. I realized that I have the same curfew as when I was a freshman!! We walked around and stuff, harassed little boys, bought pizzas, got harassed buy not so little boys, then i went home. O well. I talked to Bryan too... then I couldn't anymore.. so I hung up & went to sleep. (I know.. that makes no sence to yall', lol)
This whole updating everyday thing is getting kinda repetitious. And annoying. And I have nothing to say. hehe. So........ .... .. . .. . .. . ... .. . .. ... . .. ... exactly. I got these old IMEA songs stuck in my head.. ah! I woke up at like 9am cuz I have lesson to give @ the school.. then someone called me and cancled.. then i realized that i had one at 1030, one at 1230, then like 4 at 130. So i moved them all so I start at 130 (I think). Saturday I think there is a dinner thingy with "the group".. but I WORK! Jerks. O well. I'll get over it.. work is soo much better anyways :P (ugh). Well.. I'm bored... so i'm gonna go read:
 :D
750pm: gah. I was kinda giddy lol. So after that I worked out the sax party tomorrow. Except I just sent an email,hehe, so that means i'll have to call everyone tomorrow morn'. O well. Kinda bored now. Hm.. I got mail ... in the mail box. :D go figure hehe. I got some bank statement thingy (who cares, i cant get into it until i'm 18), my earings (ya for plugs!) that replace the ones i lost at warped tour *tear*, and a postcard from Bryan! haha. It made me happy. I was gonna call him.. but i decided against it cuz I talk to him enough and I know hes doing something cool anyhow. Well , I just dropped Matthew Bordoshuk off at his humble home. We were practicing our duet for my ma's clarinet choir preformance thingy. So now i'm sittin here. I should really read this here book (so good..).
I can't recall.. i'm suppost to write random things or something (says bryan).. i dont know. lol. umm.. where should i start.. something that pisses me off maybe... hmm. Oh! (someone just did this) People that say "whats up" to you online.. then u rack your brain for something somewhat interesting to tell them (@ least a kinda conversation starter, to be nice) "yea i'm DLing some music and updating my blog, as usual. haha. I'm listening to a random playlist of stuff I've DLed yesterday."
then the other person "cool."
then awkward silence.... so i say "whats up with you?"
"eh. nothin"
"ha. well you gotta be doing somethin. even starin at the wall is something."
"i'm talking to a few people i guess. i'm bored."
well look at that. well i cant help you there, ya tard! Not if you don't even try to talk to me.. hey heres an idea.. maybe if you tried to be a little more social with the whole IMing thing, you wouldn't be as bored because you'd actually be having some (maybe) interesting conversatoins! What a concept!
Hmm.. lets see. Things that annoy me... ha! myself! haha. I'm such a retard! Ya, I just can't seem to get over that.. I've talked about it before (trust me). geeze. I don't feel like talking about that though.
For dinner I just ate plain rice and green beans. Its dumb.. when I want to eat less and better food I do.. then like later I eat something crappy. Like Im eatin a (semi large) cookie right now. And i think yesterday it was.. I was doin good.. then I ate half a bag of Chex Mix (*drools*). Hehe... I just realized that I keep doing (these thingys). too many side comments maybe. *shrugs* dum-diddle-dee... (RIDDLE DE DUM!) hehe I called Bryan to tell me what to write about.
~RESTURANTS (he actually said eyelids but thats creepy and stuff)
That reminded me of a diner. I like diners (Olympic Star). Has anyone said Borne Identity? Goood movie, I say! There is this scene where he (the main character (Matt Damond)) [ok that was weird that I had to put a parentheses inside another hehe. ok i'm done] [Hey, bryan just called me back from his resturant and told me to write about girly girls (maybe later) and i told him to go away cuz i'm writing. OK, back to the topic... *clears throat*] is in a diner with someone and he tells the other person that he knows who (in the diner) is the most likely to have gun in their trunk. and he can name what everyone looks like in the entire place & other strange facts. and hes super confused because he knows a normal person wouldn't be able to do that. It was super cool. I want to see that movie again.. I believe the sequal came out already. hmm. A MUST SEE FOR ALL AGES! Who knows where that came from.. my retarted mind maybe!?!? EEEEHHHEHEHEEHEEHE. anyways....
This is getting really long and pointless.. its like 820pm now. La-De-Da. Nathan will probably call me in a bit. I called Jill about hair stuff.. she says shes gonna call me when she gets home (shes on a bus home from 6 flags?) to see if we're doing stuff? who knows. gregs in town though. O ya! I remember one of the things i was gonna talk about. This girl that I work with (shes cool) called me today and asked if i could work for her tomorrow 4-close and i said sure... I realize now that I'm gonna be complaining a lot because now I work Friday, Saturday, Sunday & (probably.. not sure yet) Monday night. O yeah! Ugh. O well.. I'll get a bigger paycheck this time around *cha-ching!*
So one of my sax buddies (Ellen) wanted me to sign her stupid guestbook... so I said no, of course cuz i'm a lazy bum (even though i've been writing in dumb thing for a while) & well i looked at her subprofile and 1st i came apon her random paladrome of the day: Tulsa night life: filth, gin, a slut. which.. might I add.. is AWESOME. hahaha. And then i saw my b-day in her countdown and felt special.. so I decided to sign it:
yo. I'm only signing this because you have my birthday in your countdown, and thats rad. As for these things being signed... when I 1st got one of these ma-jiggers... i wanted everyone to sign mine too.. so I'd feel "cool". but you know what? Cool isn't how you look to other people.. cool is how you know you are. I know I'm pretty spify because I don't give a crap if you don't think the same. You should be who you are, say what you want, do what you want, and not care if someone wants to give you shit for it. 4chizzle, yo.
I made up that 4chizzle part. Thats right... you know it! I was just sorta rambling so don't quote me on that one.. whatever. So i'm gonna go sulk in my greatness (kidding, freak!) (that was almost.. [I cant think of the word.. something like.. irony.. or a contradiction.. I had the word for a sec.. then my mind shifted to the word pastries?].. persay emo? hehe) and read some or something... mmmm book *drools*
Later.
And may the taco greatest reign in your presence!
Achoo. (like Amen.. but not.. aparently, squared :)
(Japanamanamation!) Who said that? Was it you little polar bear? I mean panda... yes...
And a good day to you, sir! (damn Japanese panda polar bear things.. *grumble*)

130pm: Ok... I gotta stop waking up so late. Last night I stayed up kinda late (NOT talking on the phone with Bryan!) cuz I was hangin w/ Nathan n' clan. They are a fun group of people. We were outside when it was pouring rain and lightening. It was awesome. We went to La Mex (great mexican food!) and got some food there while talking about violence and politics? haha Stood outside in the rain a while watching the lightening until it got really rainy and windy. Drove over to Hollywood video (lol) in the pouring rain where u could barely see to rent a movie. 3 band kids were there working haha (Jenni V, Ross R, and Pucket) so i harassed them. We were all soaked (more from running into the store! geeze). So I had to be home at like 1130 or 12. but we rented a movie so i called my mum and asked for like 1 or 130, and shes like arg. but finally said yes. I came home at 2. oops! lol. Well the vcr was being gay and stuff, so go figure. But today.. I have crap to do *sigh*... like practicing, vacuum/dusting my room, cleaning/sorting clutter (papers) out of my room, eating lunch, calling people about/arranging the sax party tomorrow, uh... I have to shower still hehe. I'm gonna go do that now actually... I want to go running in New Lenox.. so i'm thinkin about doing that soon too. Hmm.. well whatever. I gotta eat something b4 I do that. So i'm off for another adventure.. and I'll probably update this boring entree later tonight. Cya

.Our fingers are missing
They litter the ground
Grass will never grow near this town, again
The frames on the walls
Are crooked and empty
Our shoulders bend low towards the dirt
.I made a deal to get us out of this place
But I am falling apart
With each step that I take
And as the pieces fall
I collect them all

"Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."
~Monty Python and The Holy Grail
"This is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse.
~ C.S. Lewis
