I haven't posted anything new in a while; so I suppose I should post something....

I am already sick of hearing about Michael Jackson. It is a horrible thing he died so suddenly and unexpectedly, but talking about him all the time is not bringing him back. He was an extremely influential music icon and for that he will be remembered for forever.

Farrah Fawcet dead too?!? That Ed guy?!? Billy Mays' and his annoying voice?!? It keeps getting more bizarre!

No news on the possible new job. I am just being patient at this point. Mike starts working tomorrow morning!!! Money is going to be a little less tight now! I just want to pay off some bills and be able to go out every so often.

Kendra is moving out of the house. I am going to miss her. She painted a wall in her new aparment a bright green; and I love it. I am actually very jealous of her new apartment, and now I want to get one too.

It's like I never had time . . .

Things could possibly be turning around for me. In reference to the post I made yesterday; a new job could possibly happen soon. It would be something completely different than my safe little hotel land; but the pay is more and the experience would be good for me. As for the new apartment, that could end up happening sooner than I think. I honestly think that within the next four months Mike and I will move to something better. I am becoming antsy and excited.

I went and saw one of my favortie live bands last night, The Classic Crime. I am fortunate enough to know a couple of the guys and to have hung out with them on a few other occasions. I have actually stayed at one of the bass player's parent's house in Washington before. They are just a fun group of guys that put on a good show, and have amazing music. If you don't know who/what they are, check them out.

Things that would make my life simpler:

• higher paying job
• new apartment
• new job
• no dog hair
  

Poem

When I was home during graduation, I went to the chiropractor with my Mom. I sat in the waiting room and found a magazine called Artful Blogging and found that I really like it! There were all kinds of neat artsy things in it. While flipping through it I found this partial post from asweetlife.typepad.com

She heard their warnings

felt the sting of their slaps

on the top of her hand.

"Stop! Don't touch them!

They're hot. They'll burn you.

They're sharp. They'll cut you."

And so she withdrew her hand

from the black sky and put it

back into her pocket,

a little stardust on each fingertip.

But she was never satisfied with

just stealing a touch.

No, what they didn't know was

how her hunger grew,

how the rumble woke her

in the night,

how she cried from longing.

No, what they didn't know was

how she always felt a little empty

and how she dreamed of a belly

full of stars.

This has to be one of my new favorite poems I have found so far. I ended up taking the magazine with me and later realized it is a $15 magazine! OOPS!

I went shopping today with Kendra and Beth....bought way too much, but I love everything I got!
