the show was a great success. thank you to all who came, you won't have to get cancer and die now.

today tony called me to make sure i was going to feed his cats while him and ginger were gone for the holiday. i don't remember ever being asked to take care of his cats while he was gone, but ok. not like i have anything to do for the holiday so i might as well. this holiday thing is pretty annoying. i'm suposed to spend it with susanna and her family but i just feel wierd about it. i might be more comfortable just staying at my place and drinking beer and eating grilled cheese instead. i normally wouldn't be bothered by it but everyone else is making me feel bad when they find out i'm staying here. i was comfortable with that until i got lectured by just about everyone for planning to spend the day alone. oh well, bring on the guilt trips.

i've been really peaceful and kind of happy for almost a week and i let my guard down. normally this is good but it made finding out the my hours at work have changed AGAIN just a little more annoying than it usually is. i need a new job, i can't handle my schedule changing every week. i do have a life outside of work and they seem to not understand that for the shitty money i make there i could work almost anywhere and do a lot less and have a lot less stress. this shit needs to stop. they expect me to run the maintenance for all the freshwater rooms and they have me working at the busiest times. there is no way i can get all my work done when i have customers making me stop every five minutes because they can't seem to ask one of the other four people that aren't busy for help. i really don't understand this phenominon. there will be three people in plain view not doing a damn thing and they will walk right past them to me while i have twelve tanks drained halfway down and am rushing around trying to get them done so i can fill them back up. a lot of them have the nerve to be a little shitty and bitch about how nobody has helped them yet and i'm sitting there working on things thinking "it's not my job to help you, i do maintenance." the only reason i help them is so they fucking leave me alone. of course they won't schedule me to work before the store opens so i can get stuff done. that would make too much sense. i don't get paid enough to do as much work as i do in that place.

hi folks, i'm back. you can now hear me talk of all the exciting things that happen too me in the future. if nothing exciting happens i guess you will have to settle for pointless ramblings, but the important thing is that i am back typeing entries when i should be making art.

i'm sure you all have seen office space. in the movie there are two analysts named bob. we now have a bob digging around at the reef. this is kevin's last ditch effort to make his business stop failing. he is spending a lot of money that he doesn't have for this corporate analyst to come in and tell him what is wrong with the company. when it comes down to it we will be interviewing with him to keep our jobs. this is getting to the point of humorously ridiculous. if kevin would just open his eyes he would see that the reason his business is going under is because he makes stupid decisions. kevin always thinks that the reason he's in the hole is because his employees aren't doing a good enough job and i'm sick of it. i need to get a new job if i'm going to have to trip over the bobs while i'm trying to get my work done. hopefully the other deal i keep hearing about is legitimate, it will be damn good money for doing the same job. but the way this keeps getting dragged out i'm starting to wonder if i'm getting smoke blown up my ass. we'll all know what's going on pretty soon, i guess.

Thu, 05 May 2005 05:04:38 GMT

i am in a bad funk. all i can think about is one question: why am i the always the good friend? why can't i seem to keep a girl longer than a few hours? i guess that is two questions, but still. what the hell people? what is wrong with my personality (yes, personality. i know i am not an unatractive guy.) that automatically puts me in the great to have as a friend category. i don't get this, i need advice. i haven't dated anyone in over three years. i'm pushing past three and two thirds years now and i need help. everything in my life is great except for the stupid failure with women thing. right now this is really putting a damper on everything else that is good because it is all i can think about. my birthday is next week, and i haven't actually been with a girl for the past four birthdays. i'm not even going to go into new years or valentine days. i'm surrounded by people that are with someone and happy and i just don't get why i can't have that also. i'm sick of always being the third wheel. my friends tell me that it doesn't bother them but it seems like an empty statement. i always have the feeling that they say that because they have to, but they really wish i would just meet someone and stop bugging them all the time. i guess i just need advice that has some meaning behind it and not just the same old shit that friends tell me because they don't want to hurt me or make me feel bad. well, i have not really ever expected anything for my birthday but this year i would love to have a date for my birthday. not a friends date or a pity date but a normal date. i haven't had a normal date since i took brittany out four freakin' years ago. so if anyone would like to get me anything for my birthday, you know what i want. or maybe some useable advice, that would be great also.

You're a spare house key under the mat. Few people
know you're there, but those who do recognize
your worth, especially when they get themselves
in trouble. You might want to be a little more
noticable, but not everyone should know you're
there.

ok, there has been some fallout from the last entry. let me make this clear: if you are reading it, then it is not about you. thank you all and have a nice day.

i really hate when i think i might have a chance with someone and find out indirectly but very certainly that i do not have a chance in hell with them. women suck when they do things to give me this idea and then go get together with a guy that is better than me. i am done being hopeful with women. if i am going to be used for a night and then cast asside for the guy they actually want to be with, then i am done. to hell with all of them.

i got a new fish yesterday. i had to get rid of one of my other fish beause he started being way too mean and was messing up the social order of the tank. i got a bushy nose pleco to eat up all the tasty algae that is growing in the tank. he is one goofy looking little guy.

nate needs some lovin'. nate needs to get out of the studio long enough to have down time. nate needs to quit smoking. most of all, though, nate needs some lovin'.

HOLY CRAP!!!!! the award i recieved was for $1000! i'm actually in shock about this, i never get any of the awards here at herron. wow, i am going to do a small dance and give some hugs now.

Fri, 22 Apr 2005 18:11:41 GMT

apparently i have won some sort of award here at herron. i was told i recieved this award last night at the awards ceremony that i did not attend because i was at work. and speaking of work, i may be leaving the reef to work at a different fish store. this has comne about because the boss is giving all his employees the high hard one right in the poopshoot because he can't manage his money. and to round out this frantic entry i will give and update on the love life: still pretty much none to speak of. someday maybe but i got nothing.....STILL! ok, bye.

today was kind of good. i didn't smoke a single cigarette and i'm not sure why plus i got my ears stretched by a super nice piercing person and got to hang out with someone i don't get to see as often as i would like to for the second time in like three or four days. now i get to fire a kiln and hope i don't warp my piece too bad with the fast firing.

strage weekend. very very strange.

Tue, 12 Apr 2005 04:02:24 GMT

i'm getting back into my "i hate everyone that has a boyfriend/girlfriend" mode. springtime makes me sick. everyone is all happy about the great new boy/girl and the nice whether and all that shit. well congrats people, just try not to rub all that in the face of us that are too fucking busy to enjoy either on of those things. i will be so damn glad when i am done with school for the summer.

Wed, 06 Apr 2005 00:17:18 GMT

the show was sa huge success! lot's of people came and many people kept saying that this is the best show they have seen here. this makes me happy. what makes me not so happy is all of you assholes that didn't show up. i have a great big middle finger for you all, except you steve, at least you have a halfway acceptable excuse. but yes, had a great show, went dancing afterwards, and woke up with a terrible hangover the next day. it was a pretty good weekend and i wish i had more to say but i don't feel like typig a lot at the moment, and all of you that didn't come to the show are big balls of suckness.

people suck. plain and simple, people suck. last week i got to see a play because my friend's boyfriend dicked her over and it made me sad to see her get treated poorly. the play was awsome, though. it was called "A letter from Ethel Kennedy" and if you get a chance you should go see it at theater on the square. now, back to people sucking. a guy i work with is quickly crossing the line of mooching when it comes to favors. reciprocity says he owes me big time before i help him out with anything again. and since my last update i have also found that dating is not going to happen for me. at least not anytime soon. i have been stood up three times since the last update. THREE FUCKING TIMES!!! twice by the same girl and once by a different girl. if someone doesn't want to go out or do something why the hell do they make plans with me? wouldn't it be easier to just keep thier mouths shut and not sy things like "are you busy on...". this isn't me making the plans, so why not just not make plans in the first place.

one good thing though! i have two new friends. thier names are bastard and downy. they are my new fish and they are beautiful. bastard got his name because he likes to pick on fish smaller than him and downy has a huge forehead, i'll let you folks figure out the political incorectness of that one. they are both in the genus haplochromis and have beautiful blue coloring. they rock. who needs a woman when you have fish.

i have gotten myself into a bit of a problem. i have stated working on a piece that has absolutely no surface that it can sit while i work on it. this is an engineering nightmare to say the least. on top of this little problem i have someone in the studio with me making it near impossible to get any work done. i love working in there with her but i really wish she wasn't such a distraction. this piece will get finished, but it won't be easy. by the way, if anyone wants to hire a masuese for me i will be very grateful. so grateful that i might even make you dinner if you get me some relief from muscles that are tighter than a drum head.

i just recieved an email informing me that a friend of mine has died in a car accident. it bothers me because i know i will not be able to go the funeral or see his family or anything because professors only excuse you from class if a family member dies and i can't afford to stop working on stuff right now. the guy was only 21 years old. he was not under the influence so i can't be mad at him for that. i'm really worried that this year will be the year of bad shit happening.

i hung out with heather from the intermediate ceramics class a lot this weekend. we hung out thursday, friday, AND sunday. she is pretty cool so i can't complain about seeing her a lot but there is one thing that freaks me out: her ex is my exact twin! now, i am not talking about a person that looks kind of like me, but a person that other people at herron have started talking to thinking that he was me. same clothes, face, facial hair, same bandana, same everything! it really freaked me out because i saw a picture on her fridge and i asked her how and why she had a picture of me in with all of her pictures. she kind of laughed and told me the story of it being her ex and that kind of put my mind at ease but still, it freaks me out that i have a twin in this world and have never met him.

amy's birthday was thursday. a bunch of people went to the lockerbie for it on friday and i surprisingly had a lot of fun. i like amy because i got her a dead bird for her birthday and she was really happy about it. it's nice to know people that like the same wierd shit as i do.

yesterday at work a guy came in and gave us three rather expensive used fish tanks with all the equipment. this means that i just got a really nice used filter to use with my really nice used tank! i also got an air pump and a big box of filter media and some airline tubing and a magnetic algae scraper! now the only things i'll have to buy are a heater and the rest of the gravel and rocks to go in the tank. this is so very exciting, pretty soon i will have a nice thirty-six gallon tank with lovely african cichlids from lake victoria. oh yeah! i'm painting the plastic trim on this tank a nice sparkly read color, it will be awsome when i get this done, i'll be making people come over so they can watch the fish with me.

today i had a very strange experience at the gas station. i went in to get some coffee and as i was pouring my cup some youngish girl comes up to me to inform me that her sister thinks i'm hot. ok, i just blow it off because young teen girls do that shit. i continue getting my coffee and i am approached by the sister, oi. now, white trash doesn't even begin to describe this girl. white trash would probably be an upgrade for her. but anyway, i'm standing there thinking "fuck, now i have captain nasty hitting on me!", and right then an idea pops into my head. i told her that i am a happily married man. this aparently meant nothing to her and she proceeded to ask the name of my wife. quick thinking got me out of that one when i said that my wife's name is "doug". she left me alone after that. now i just have to ask why the first time i am approached by a girl in god knows how long it has to be that type of girl. do i give off a vibe or something? at least i know someone thinks i'm hot.
