Life frustrates me no end....

WEDNESDAY---

I get up and check email. Still no word from my two print companies. I sit around till I go to work. I work till 3am, leaving early cause I never get to. I shoulda stayed and got more hours, but fuck it. I'm tired. I pass out soon after arriving home.

THURSDAY---

I wake up and kelly announces that she is officially done with all classes for the semester. She sold some books back so we have a little bit of cash. We gas up and head to Midland. I stop by the comic shop and buy a SPIDERMAN LOVES MARY JANE (Kids stuff I know, but Sean McKeever's writing it! Therefore its good shit!). We go to Ponderosa and then head home. We get in some major fight about her wanting a tounge piercing. I am mad cause I think its a waste of money. But we both stop off mad and I head into work, steaming.

After 8 painfully quiet hours of listening to dark hate music, talking to no one, typing loud and hating every second I'm breating, my wife calls and we apologize to each other. I relent and say its alright for her to get the piercing.

I work till 5am, and head home. I pass out.

FRIDAY---

I wake up. Still nothing from either printing company. Its official: MAYHEM will not be at Novi. I am royally pissed! and I still gotta print EARTHGIRL through these arses! I dunno how I am gonna deal with it all. Until I figure out what way to go, OUTCAST and PLEASANT LIFE are delayed. Great news.

I get the mail and realize a major fuck up! I get a check from our phone company for $200. See, a month ago, our phone was shut off. We paid a over the phone check to clear up the bill and get our phone turned on. But they applied that $200 to a previous account number. But instead of transferring the funds, they took an ADDITIONAL $200 out of our checking. that made 10 checks bounce. We had over $200 in bounce fees from our bank as a result. But here I was standing with a $200 check, the money they took the first time! Fuckin' phone companies. They cost us all those bounce check fees. FUCK! Everyone is always out to fuck you out of money arent they? That shit wasn't my fault but because they are douches, I had to pay for it. Bullshit.

I dink around and head to work. While there, the wife calls to say she is gonna get her piercing. I ask if it is okay to go to Shane's for the weekend, since we've got a tad bit of money now. She says its okay. I call Shane, but it falls through for some odd reason. I cannot really explain why. So, I am left to rot in a bored weekend.

My wife drops by eating ice and shows me her toungue piercing. I try not to laugh at her funny talking.

About two hours later, my wife calls and says that I am gonna be mad at what she was about to say. She decided to take out the piercing, cause she didn't like it. I knew she wouldn't. Waste of money. $25.00 down the drain. So i was all mad on thursday for nothing!

But oh well. At least I won!

SATURDAY---

Bored, I laid around. I watched Rocky 1-2-3-4 on TNT till the wife got home. We decided to head out to Jons and eat. Bored, we drove to ALMA, and shopped at Walmart. I bought that TYPE O NEGATIVE DVD at Sam Goody.

I get back home, watch some AMERICAN DAD and FAMILY GUY with the wife before she conks out. Then I watch my TYPE O DVD and a U2 DVD I bought earlier in the week. I draw on the new PLEASANT LIFE cover and ink some of it. I also write down some lyrics and notes for the NEXT Idiothead album that Shane and I have been talking about. A real theme/concept piece.

Then, into wanting to play live, I take our songs and write out a proper setlist. I practice through singing and playing all the songs. I desperatly want to play some live shows. Hopefully some connections I am looking through come together and it can happen.

The rest of the night, I update BLOGS and sites, and draw some more. I pass out watching more music DVDs, hoping one day that I can be on stage again.
