12:34 pm	Longest Yard These weekends would've killed me if it weren't for the Red Bull. I worked something like 50+ hours last week and that includes two days off. I've seen all kinds of crazy stuff now, the drunk guy who wrecked his car in my lot (thankfully against a pole), the acid kid who we had to call the cops on so he wouldn't fall over in a main road again, the girl who decided to warm me up and cool herself off by wrapping me around her (woot), the taxi cab drivers fighting over fare (literally). Lets see... lack of sleep and weather conditions not being their best. It blows having to stand out in the rain waiting on drunk people to come outside and yell at me for 'taking half a fucking hour'. Next time peeps, don't come all at once and be the last person out the door if you want your car back right then. I'm only one person dealing with half a dozen people and I can only go so fast...I even messed up my left ankle trying to move faster, which admittably is counterproductive. In two days I get 30 hours, in that same two days I get roughly 8-10 hours of sleep total.The rest of the time is spent going to/from jobs and eating/taking showers/ attempting to sleep/waiting on people to show up so I can leave. That's life in a nutshell right now, I gotta pay off some things and get insurance on my car so I can get a tag and be legal but I do have a good deal once I get the money which is probably gonna come from someone who owes me just so I can make due. Oh, and I have a court date I have to make on the 20th for following to closely awhile ago. It was rainy and my truck's brakes locked up and slid into some old lady. Good times. (Comment on this)

1:05 am	Late Nights and Late Trains Wow I ended up with a f*cked up sleep schedule now...1am in the morning and I'm just now getting tired. Its sad, I told myself I wouldn't but I'm becoming a Myspace junkie...then again I was just browsing single girls lfd (looking for dates ^^') trying to see what all is out there. Honestly that may be a huge reason I go back to college is so that A) I can get a degree in something and B) meet people my age. In this valet job I've got crazy stories that get crazier the more I work, which is alot, and I've met plenty of people and I'm becoming able to network in Atlanta. Let me tell you something I've learned here: school is important, but in the grand scheme of things networking is approximately equal to success. I dunno, I feel weird right now and want to do something but can't. Ya'll know the feeling where you couldn't sleep but there's nothing to do. Sheesh. Ok...so I have work tomorrow and I can't sleep; someone come and knock me upside the side of the head with something heavy before I go crazy. No Seriously. Since I've got a few days off now I figure I might try to crank up ze ole dating life and see what happens (although I'm gonna wait until after Valentine's so I can save money. Lol, how bad is that? But I got bills to pay, so thats my story and I'm sticking to it). So that's why I was looking at people's profiles on Myspace...I'm not in a position otherwise to meet people so I may as well use what I got, right? Is it so bad? Or should I go for a 'quick stripper fix'? >.> Weird moods for weird days...I feel chaotic. It'd be nice to have something to do, so I guess I'll keep listening to the music and have a smoke. I figure if I'm gonna die, I might as well know how I'm going down. AND~ its better than the drugs that I'd be doing if not for it. (Comment on this)

11:18 am	Under Control? This is mainly geared toward Saturday/Sunday morning, but I'm lazy and got around to posting it now. Everything is somewhat, kinda,marginally, if you squint a little bit and cock your head 38 degrees to the left, under control. Don't worry people! There's nothing wrong with being in debt to your ears...other than the debt collectors evenutally finding you... ha haha oh crap. Really though: I just bought a '98 civic from a friend of mine for a really good price (all things considered), but I have two months to finish paying it off, buy insurance, tax/tag/title bullsh*t so I can legally drive the car (I was pulled over already at 3:30am after the longest working day ever but I'll get to that), and the fact that the truck I was driving decided that a rainy day would be perfect for smacking some Thunderbird in the back due to brake laziness so I got a court date I have to attend/pay off. Good times, good times. So, the longest working day ever: go to work at the condo place where I normally am at- 11am. My boss calls roughly at 2pm asking me to work for a few hours at another place and I agree because it was only a three hour shift to help them put cars up. Four o'clock: he calls back saying he needs me at another location...in addition. SO: I clock out of the condos at 6:30, work from 7-9 at a hotel, drive from there to a Martini Bar where I worked my ass off from 9:30pm-3am and drove to the apartment to pass the f*ck out. Except that the makeshift tag I had on my car (due to the fact I just bought it that morning) is illegal apparently, and a cop picked me off about a mile from where I live. Thankfully he didn't ticket me because I honestly didn't know that I had to have all this stuff besides a deed in my name to even drive it for a month while I wait on a tag, but I was so tired he thought I was drunk. HA. After working at a martini bar parking cars for drunk...huggy...angry...dramatic...(what else?)...annoying people, I couldn't help but laugh at the po po. At any rate, its been interesting and I really think taking that semester off was worth it. Why? Because I can honestly say that $10 an hour is not nearly enough, and I think I finally know what I want to do with my life...it took some effort to find but I think I have the motivation I was lacking these last few years.
