Being judged from every angle...

So this week is going to be a rough one on the old ego and self esteem. I have two follow up interviews for work, one as a bill collector and one is for "customer service" which I think translates to, what every the hell we want you to do. I would prefer the latter only because bill collecting is awkward and it is commissioned work, and I am not known for my stellar work ethic...haha...that is always a fact I leave out of interviews.
Next up I have an audition with a band in the area who has been looking for a drummer for a few weeks, they heard of me through some various other bands in columbus and I have arranged an audition with them for thursday night. While I am not nervous about this I had an experience similar to this and this band I audition for said I was great but I was to short and scrappy, what the fuck! I mean tell me I am not good enough, but dont tell me I play perfectly well but I don't fit the description of an Abercrombie and Fitch model so I can't play with them, douche bags! Since then I have always been wary of auditions because that one burned me bad.
Lastly and most importantly, The United States education liason for The University of St. Andrew's (its in Fife, Scotland) will be meeting with me for the last stage of the interview process. This is nerve racking I went to a mediocre college because of fear of rejection letters, and I didn't originally intend on applying here, but I was convinced by one of my professors. I sent the application out expecting absolutely nothing, but I am at the last stage of the acceptance process and if I screw it up now...its going to sting.

she's coming back around again.

why does spring make me feel like I have accomplished nothing? Side note: I hate that stupid part of bambi that makes spring so romantic, its not really like that. Here in Ohio we call spring the end of winter, because its still snowing DAMN IT!
I quit my job because I was close to getting fired, it was a shitty job anyway...I was getting disciplinary action taken against me for the most ridiculous of things, but good news 6 months until I am off to Europe. Woohooo.

Sometime Pop isn't a bad thing...

With American Idol and well let's face it, the entire music industry "Pop" music has become a revolving door of shit. I would like to argue it wasn't always that way. At one point Pop music wasn't the crap at the bottom of the barrel, it was actually the good stuff. Somewhere between Elvis, Buddy Holly, and The Beatles something went wrong. There aren't any bands of that quality that have had that sort of sucess.

Anyway the point is I recently saw this band, Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer, (when they started getting recognition they had to change it from Zoloft) First off I love the name...Secondly these guys and girl, are absolutely fantastic. They take a kind of modern approach to 60's bubble gum pop. While not at all difficult, it is light-hearted and fun. Additionally the vocalist is a cutie, and her lyrics are fun and cute. http://www.purevolume.com/zoloftherockrolldestroyer Check it out if you are interested.

hope this works...

I am terrible with this...

I have a fairly boring life... Infact the only reason I am typing a new entry is because I have food poisoning and I am stuck in bed. Advice to avoid food poisoning; when it comes to chinese food spend the money for the good stuff or you will be hugging the toilet like its a long lost lover.

Love at First Sight?

quite simply, I just want to know opinions on whether or not people subscribe to this notion.

Potty Humor

First off I would like to say that this contains humor that a 22 year old male would find funny, hopefully someone else will.

I have a job! Its not the one I wanted, but at this point I am not picky, I will be a supervisor of a group home. Provided my urine is clean. Ok so this is a funny story about how to not take a urine test...

I walk into the facility everything is going smooth I am given the cup I walk into the restroom. Three minutes later I open the door and say to the nurse, "I'm a little gun shy this might take a couple more minutes." to which she stares at me like a urinalysis person had never heard the term gun shy, first of all I dont believe it, secondly the awkward stare, just making it worse. I continued, "Well maybe if you gave me an amount to aim for I wouldn't feel so pressured to fill the cup."
"I need 45mL" she responded.
then I made the mistake of being a smart ass..."do bubbles count?" I thought it was funny her not so much. After I filled it to 46mL's bubbles included I walked out and aske, "so when will I find out if I'm pregnant," she just took the cup and looked at me like I was the weirdest person ever, she was really bitchy too, but I've got bad news for her, I got to leave the facility, she was stuck playing with my urine...TAYLOR WINS!

My second stage today and another example of things not to do happened during my background check while being finger printed. Ok this is just some advice from experience. If a security guard says "You getting a new job" DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT "well it depends on how this turns out."

tomorrow CPR training here I come!
