I'm at a public terminal paying 18c a minute so i don't have much time... what to say... I've been homeless (kinda) for three days and two nights now, such highlights include:
John Miles marching in the protest
Taking Half an Adderol and having the most talkative first day of class EVER
Mark and Emily letting me spend the night
I realized that besides art and music people, I've had two types of friends; The computer geeks and the drug addicts. On my first day in town I already met both... I hope to live with the I.T. pros but we have to find a place, we checked out a place yesterday but there were two people ahead of us in line so fuck that.
I couldn't sleep in this hostel so I kept going outside... I went to thi

phone call from cousin cathy - she found a place I can try
anyway I was at this bar and these two guys got me to roll cigarettes for them and they tell me the one guy sells pot (i said I have no cash) and they walked me around the block and smoked with me! They were like a Jay and silent Bob kinda couple and it wasn't until an hour into I realized they were gay, AND they assumed that I was too. Even though I have both of their numbers and said I would call to hang out, I said ok bye and ran away in typical mike britt fashion, which EVERYONE does around here.
I was sooo not prepared for this place,
but
not in a bad way
I am pleasantly surprised with how things are going and how I am reacting to it.
school seems cool... we're starting off with basic computer and electronics (like scientific notation and binary system and etc) and
I'm getting a new cell phone soon
Call me friday night when I come home. I want to have a meeting.
An irish bartender asked me if I was related to the Baggins family
I am everything but optimistic at the moment, for even though I have said goodbye and not left, there is nothing left for me in this town or in my group of friends or even on the internet. I have never been so ready to start living my new life and no one will let me in. Tommorow I will look at three places and if one of them does not call me back I have to move in to a hostel.
In other news I fear I have burned a bridge or two, possibly because of what happened to me at rachel's party, possibly because I'm leaving, or maybe because she got impatient cuz I never made a physical move. The most important thing I learned from [an ex who might read this] is "you can't just talk a girl into having sex with you".
Either way I am now on the long list of men who resent her for never noticing his obsession. Fuck you! I have put a great deal of time and effort and made too many sacrifices so we could get to know each other better and so that I could win your trust. Although we had good times, in retrospect it was a waste of time and I now regret not spending my summer with some I have a future with.
It really hurts my self esteem when I think about how although I'm 23 years old I'm still prone to the age-old situation of a guy and girl as friends but one wants a relationship. Shouldn't this behaviour get over with in high school? Will this be repeating itself all throughout life? I guess I still have alot to learn!
The paradox of it all is, I believe I cannot mature any further in my parent's house, yet no one will let me live with them knowing I come from my parent's house. Additionally, I cannot mature until I get into another boy/girl relationship - I have learned alot since the last one and finally believe I'm ready to try it again with someone else - but surely no one will give me a chance if she knows this is the case!
Today I recorded the band Aecidium for a hundred dollars. They got a four song demo and now Gizmotron has another spot on the list of rock n' roll history. That is of course, if the band actually promotes this thing and continues to be a band, which doesn't really happen most of the time.
Orientation for school is on thursday, and I'll probably just come from jersey and then back. But when classes start on Monday I still won't have a place to live. This worries me very much. I joke about being homeless but I don't think I could do it. It would be even worse because unlike most homeless people, I would actually have money.
I got a phone call from someone I contacted looking for a place! I'm going to check it out on monday around six. I don't get my own room but at least I can live there until I find something better. Here's the URL for the ad: http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/roo/39383451.html
Lauran and I went to try out for American Idol in washington DC - it was the longest line I ever waited in and I met all sorts of people who sang exactly the same. I sang "walking on sunshine" as loud as possible, and although I thought I was hilarious, the guy was NOT amused by my antics. In short, everything turned out exactly as I had anticipated. I'm starting to wish I spent the $40 to go see suzanne vega instead.
At the coffeeshop last night some guy comes in cuz he wants to hang up a flyer for some show he's promoting and and I said I would go but I won't be around cause i'm moving to new york - he asks why and I tell him and then he says the head of the record label he's on is looking for a producer. I explained that I'm small time and I use ghetto equiptment but I gave him a cd of my solo shit anyway.
Three hours later some guy calls me and sounds all scene, starts telling me he plays drums and he is the head of this indie label and his sister is going to make a new album scheduled for release in 2k6 and I was like hey I can't help you I'm going to NY then he's like hey man we're in New York all the time! I was just in NY like last week - so I'm meeting with this guy on sunday. I think i'm going to sic Jay Gunnz on him and then dissappear.
Jay Gunnz are you
gonna fuck me like you should
i'm your little boo-hoo-wood
oh i'd suck you if I could
(a hard day of killin thugs)
it's ok you're spillin slugs
(hold my gun i'll give ya hugs)
i'll make ya cum just hold my jugs
not much luck in the apartment search. Everytime I think i have a place it falls through, but i'm still looking. In the meantime, jay gunnz is trying to use every day he can before i go to gets his dreams on cd.
Is president bush ready for grandkids?
I got more "from the desk of jim ruppel" paper out of aaron's basement. I'm going to make photocopies. Also out of the basement I was lucky enough to find a box of broken cables, a cowbell, tamborine, some shakers and three broken wha pedals. We're not practicing this week.
So I got back from going to florida with the fam a few days ago. How was that you ask?
