+ school's almost over

-it's starting to get all hot and shit here, fuuu
+playing drums. fuck. only 9 hours until i'm going to wail on some skins again and shart myself

-just remembered i have a second job and i should go in tomorrow. drum or package organic soap while listening to classic rock? hmm. i guess i don't really NEED two jobs!? maybe i can go in for 2 hours and string them along?!
-i should have accomplished so much more by the age of 25, i feel. time is ticking, but instead of wanting children i want to be in a band that inspires like 5 teenage girls to pick up an instrument and not rely on MEN. lol
-getting a taste of my own medicine in a semi-delicate way. why oh why can't i be mean to nice people until things have built up irrepressibly?

i love how each user's +/-'s became progressively larger and more obnoxious as this thread went on. tight.

- Finally got a call back from a recruiter telling me that the company I had 2 interviews with went with the other candidate.
- The other candidate was referred to them by an employee, so that person probably had some inside information I didn't have.
- Having no money since September of last year sucks.

- Working a really shit job that just cut my hours in half.
- Don't know how I'm going to pay my bills this month
- Nobody's hiring for anything. Not even minimum wage jobs around here.
+ got a Fender Mexican Strat for $75 bucks.

volcano eruption I´m not sure if thats a plus or a minus, it´s pretty cool and has no effect on my life. A bigger volcano might errupt and that would destroy a small town and that´s not cool.

+ jackie doesn't have a tumah

but duder, that seems a lot like the same stuff I went through (y'know, the time I figured that I'd died) a couple years back.
i never had "spells," per se. i'd get dizzy for a split second, then everything would go white and I'd eventually regain consciousness. plus my chest felt as if it was going to explode like, all the time. they gave me an epilepsy scrip. and it doesn't happen anymore, thankfully.

did they give you any clue as to what caused yer problems? stress?

- fucking insecurities
- Tank Girl

+ KEN Mode coming to Memphis

-i'm such a shitbag libra that i'll probably go to whichever show most of my friends go to because i can't make up my own mind
+options are better than no options

- i'm 30
+ coalesce and converge ruled tonight
+ sean and nate

- haven't heard from a renter I had on the hook since monday, and it turns out it's because I never clicked send on an email I typed up to her.
+ got an email today from a different possible renter, but haven't heard back from him yet either.
+/- this may all add up to me moving back to Boston in the next few weeks.
- I definitely can't afford to move back to Boston so soon.

- Sent out my resume 60+ times and only 1 in 10 companies bother to get back to me.
- Most of the interviews I've had so far have been set up through a recruiter, but all companies always seem to go for the only other candidate still in the running.
- Getting crap reasons as to why a company didn't pick me.

- overworked, underpaid
- barely catching up on bills
+ moving out soon
- more billssssss once i do

- friends that watch Two and Half Men

+ opening for dax riggs tonight.

it's gay, i know, but i've wanted to do this shit since i was 14.

There's nothing gay about living the dream. Unless your dream is full of naked dudes.

+ going to Belgium for work
- sitting on a plane for 9 hours
+ awesome food
- dinners take anywhere from 2-4 hours even at casual places
+ Westmalle Tripel

Long meals are a negative?

After 10+ hour work days when you'd also like to have some time for sightseeing, yes.

+ Mexican soft drinks
- cowards

+ today this dime piece asked me to come over to her place in cambridge and drink beers on the roof
- i couldn't go because i didn't have train fare
- i told her i didn't have train fair
- she's completely done with it

- doom metal fad
- half the bands popping up don't even listen to doom metal
- the fact that bothers me
+ started a new band
+ not doom or stoner metal

^^^ Mexican soft drinks are so, so awesome! Try every flavor of Jarritos that you can find!

"Mexican soft drinks are so, so awesome!"
+ sugar
- HFCS

until our artificially low market value for corn pushes out every Mexican corn farmer and makes HFCS cheaper to use than sugar. even without a tariff on sugar like we have in the USA, our prices are so low that we could make our budget corn cheaper to use than importing or processing sugar. Fuck HFCS.

I tend to agree, except with Mountain Dew. Sugar Mountain Dew tastes like its about to go flat, HFCS MD tastes so much better, but comes with twice the regret. However, sugar Pepsi? DELICIOUS.
