WARNING: MAYBE YOU SHOULDNT READ THIS IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH.
So here I am at home. Nine o'clock. Friday night. Fugazi is playing a free show in town. I'm not there. Why? Because I am sick. Don't pity me, the worst of it is over. It all started yesterday...
I went to work feeling just fine. After working for about an hour, all of the sudden I got really dizzy. I went to the front of the building and found a place to sit down. The longer I sat there, I knew what was coming, throw-up time. After about 5 minutes, i worked my way to the toilet, and proceded to throw up. Let the games begin! After the fun was over, I went and found my boss and he sent me home. Now, here's where it gets good and gross. I work only about 4 miles from my house. Well, about halfway to my house, I felt it coming again. Major problem, I am on a bridge crossing I-95 and there is no place to pull over. I start to panic. Theres a spot ahead where I can pull over. But before I can get there, the spewing arrived. Yes, yes. I threw up IN MY CAR. I couldn't believe it. It was terribly gross, yet I find it somewhat amusing. I will leave out the other details of vomiting for the day. My Thursday basically consisted of puking and sleeping. Does it get any better?
I'm slowly feeling better and better, but all that I want to do still is lie around and sleep. Hopefully that will go away after a good nights sleep? Wish me luck. I need to go out this weekend, have some fun. The My Parents' Birthday boys want to hang/practice tomorrow, so I'm hoping I'll be up for that. What do I do on Sunday? Do I go to see Matt Pond PA or J Rawls? Oh, the humanity.
Maybe I'll watch one of my many DVD's tonight, but I might fall asleep early. Any advice? Will someone come and take care of me? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Doesn't Donnie Darko rule, Justin? RVA represent! I saw that movies literally 2 weeks ago, and yesterday it came out on DVD. I had to go and purchase it last night. I think that movie is wonderful, plus, Patrick Swayze? Wow. Tip of the day: Don't start talking to me about a movie I like that I haven't seen in a long time. If you do, chances are, that night I will go out and buy it. A co-worker and myself were talking about Beverly Hills Cop yesterday. I bought it last night. End of story. I'm not going to fall for the banana in the tail pipe. Why am I addicted to buying DVD's? What exactly do I get out of it? I mean, I like watching movies, but come on! Great gift idea: buy me some DVD's. I'll let you know which ones i want.
Yesterday a fight broke out at my job. It was quite the spectacle. Seemed like high school again. I didn't actually witness the fight, but I heard some yelling. Then everyone was running to see what was happening. By the end of the day, we were down one employee. He got the ol' boot. Quite an exciting day. I didn't think I would see so much excitement during my last 2 weeks. What next?
Todays celebrity birthday, Jane March is 29. Who is Jane March? She was in the movie, Color of Night, which featured Bruce Willis' wang. The ironic part, yesterday was Bruce Willis' birthday. Coincidence? I think not.
last night i watched donnie darko. it was totally fuck-ass good. i also busted out my computer and began to write for the first time in 3 months. in reviewing my drunken manuscript for bad jack and the honky tonk angel i have come to decide that it is both pure geniusness and total trash. hmm. i talked to a woman yesterday who i will refer to as sasha. she said, "what a person does, doesn't make them who they are. yet a person can identify themselves with what they do. and it's a lot better to do that than to identify yourself with something you'd like to be. 'cause if you do that, you don't really exist." granted she didn't phrase it quite like this. this is me reading it and forming my own idea of it... but the idea is there. i like living in the future. the word future is just too cool for school. it makes me think of megatron and energon cubes. shit like that. anyway, seeing as time doesn't exist... the future is science-fiction and the past has been devoured by the langoliers. the present is the only place that can influence anything. and by influence, i suggest that to mean anything from grand diabolical schemes to what you eat for breakfast. i prefer ice cream. i'm finished with this idea for the time being.

Why are the weekends more boring than the week? I didn't do anything all that exciting over the weekend, just kind of hung out with friends, which is fine. But now its monday night, and I'm going out late. I'm once again going to see the Devil's Workshop Big Band. I'm turning into a Monday night big band nerd. Such tasty music though, I can't resist it. Every Monday from now on I think. It's swingin' baby.
I watched Wet Hot American Summer last night. I actually really liked it. If you were a fan of The State, watch it. I had heard some mixed reviews, but I really enjoyed it. I found myself giggling quite a bit. It was nice to see most of the guys from The State in action again. I also rented Following, but I haven't gotten around to watching it yet. I hear it's great though. Christopher Nolan. I loved Memento, so I'm anxious to see if he can pull it off again.
I'm in my final two weeks of my warehouse job that I've worked for the past 3 years. It's wierd to be leaving there, but damn it'll be nice. I'm not sure what I'm doing for money once i get back home from tour. The temp agency might be the route for me to go. I'm a little scared, but hopefully I can get it worked out. I might have to sell my car and get something cheaper too. I don't want to though. Someone give me some money. Please? I'll be your best friend.
Ok. I'm off to jazz land.

At this point she decides to stop talking to me. She finally realized that would stop me. At one point her online buddy(his hobbies, according to his profile are chillin' and talking on the phone) IMs me and says to leave her alone. Needless to say, I felt the need to mess with him. It was a boring afternoon, I had to entertain myself somehow. My apologies.
Todays celebrity birthday, Gary Sinise is 47.
yesterday i ran around minneapolis without a car. i spent 6 hours in several coffee houses reading and drinking coffee and gathering information (what most people refer to as listening in on someone elses conversation). i finished frankenstein and watched the movie. the plot differed considerably from the book. i was disappointed. i started a tiny little book that rocks called: jules verne - the man who invented the future. that jules verne sure is radical. i also read a handful of samuel beckett plays i had in book form. after reading a whole lot of bizarre krapp, (no pun intended) i spent all night at the uptown movie theatre trying to pick up tricks. there was one girl who gave me a couple of dollars to run across the street for her and purchase some m&m's. they sure were delicious. snap! oh shit yes, how life can be grand.
