hmmm

There's something oddly satisfying about cashing one's unemployment check at the liquor store...
or is that just me?

it ain't all wine and roses,
I don't complain TOO much cause,
well, it wouldn't do no damn good anyway,
but I'm not sure how I'm keeping the power on, or the internet when things start to really come down here in a month or so...
and substitute teaching (which is what I'll be doing in about a week) could end with me in jail (there are a # of scenarios I can imagine with this result).
The funny thing is I had just come to terms with the job I had before I lost it...literally the day I got the tap on the shoulder I was thinking, "well, this isn't so bad... I'm wearing my headphones, listening to public enemy, and not having to deal with customers or co-workers... just processing paper work, and it's meaningless, soulless, and demeaning, but it's not unbearable"
anyway, I do suggest everyone live on unemployment for a time,
but it is stressful, and not all a party...
although tonight,
tonight was party,
and you suckers that have to work in the A.M monday...
y'all missed it...; 12:55 AM

Get into jazz standards. Making $500 to play trombone for 3 hours at a wedding is where it's at, Mike. Then you can do your avant-skronk the rest of the time.; 10:19 AM
