What I really spent it on so far

February 18th, 2009

So I did buy a DSLR like I said. I held back and just bought a Nikon D60 kit. And I paid off and and cancelled one credit card. Also I got an iPod ready head unit for my car cause my tape player died. Now i need to buy new speakers cause only one works.
I’m so excited about my Florida vacation with Danny and Julianne. Which will be the last of my money other than school. I already bought my Modest Mouse tickets which judging by the look of their tour dates will probably sell out.
I also started a facebook even for my birthday here so if you wanna come check it out. Presents are greatly appreciated.
Also i realized i live directly across the street from a band(well i knew that cause the practicing) but now i know which band. its Sleepy Eye Giant they are pretty good. They had a show at their house and someone i work with was there and invited me in. I took some pictures and am now listening to them practice(from my room).

money money money…

yeah i have some…its not really mine i have to pay back half of it(school check from loans/grants/etc) the other half is my tax return…but either way its enough to pay for another semester of school, a vacation, car repairs, and maybe a DSLR. so its good enough for me.
i really want to start playing music with a band btw. i talked to blackdave (www.blackdave.org) and we may make more TNF music (www.myspace.com/thenewfolder). as we keep doing it it gets better.
i also want to start the world wide webshow (www.theworldwidewebshow.com) which ive been throwing around ideas to people and they are interested but lack the drive i guess. i have an hd cam to shoot it on. if you are interested in any of this email me/comment/aim/etc.
also if a metal band(or any band for that matter) will cover our song Metal 101 id love to have a live version of it.

and my vacation plans are set in stone. schedule is as follows:
March 7: leave here at 1 get in orlando and check in the hotel around 9 (including stops for food, peeing, gas, etc)
March 8: Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure
March 9: Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure until the Modest Mouse show at HOB (show starts at 8 doors at 7)
March 10: Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure (maybe some orlando roaming…mall, go karts, etc.)
March 11: Wake up really early and go home for my film lighting class that starts at 6

im traveling with danny(@smidan1187) and julianne (www.myspace.com/lostwinningdays or @julianalogy)

btw you can totally stalk me here ill post updates alot

ps. this is why modest mouse is my favorite band (from their good days)

Work/Money/Vacation/New Shoes

February 1st, 2009

im going to split up these topics one at a time for you.

Work: i work at staples and my hours have been cut in half from 3 days a week to 1 or 2 days. which is a big deal cause i only work on weekends to pay bills and i do school during the week. im so tired of hearing of this bad “economy” its getting pretty old. my dad talks about it so much it makes me crazy. he owns his own business and complains about it. seriously how does a bad economy have anything to do with towing cars? do you just leave them in the road now cant you cant afford a 50 dollar tow? maybe cars have gotten better and not needing to be towed/repaired as much. thats what i think it is.

Money: im getting money from a few sources other than work which is nice so im not too worried about not having any. ill have my tax return, and my school money coming to me which will be a few G’s so with that ill go on a

Vacation: me, danny, julianne, and whoever else are taking a week long trip to disney/universal/orlando for a vacation. its always nice to get away from the life here for a while. last year i went with danny and mandy (someone i met from stickam that lived in florida at the time) to disney world for a day which was awesome. year before that i went with another girl on a two day trip to universal studios. i have pics of both trips i promise to upload one of these days. if you are my friend i have them on facebook or myspace which gives you a reason to find my links and add me up.

New Shoes: so after many years of service i retired my old shoes. i dont remember which ones they were but i just remember they were I-Paths which were awesome. my grandmother bought me a new pair cause my old ones were falling apart so bad they barely stayed on my feet. incase you want to know they are the Globe Magnum Mid’s.

and thats all for this blogpost. follow me up on twitter or something.
