I like my music loud...and the downfall of cd's

Hey whats up. It has been a little while since my last blog post huh...Probably the longest stretch so far me thinks...Well not a lot has been going on for the most part though so don't worry my die hard fans you haven't been missing out. I took my cougar in last night to get a new sound system and its defintely bumpin. I didn't really know what I was looking for mostly I was just going in to get a new cd player since the one it came with sorta failed on me. And walla i end up getting two 12'' subs an amp and a new cd player. It costed a lot more than I figured it would but I didn't go over my budget actually...Right now I am doing two jobs basically full time on both so I do have a little bit of extra money anyways and of course I didn't look to save it or something better like that :S The best thing about it all is that I can now hook up my ipod directly to the cd player and my ipod has so much music on it I dont think I will even need to put another cd into the player, in fact I predict cd's will become a thing of the past quicker than anyone realizes it. I'm serious it happens to almost everything electronic. Look at vhs, cassetes, atari's etc...There are so many different forms of music out there right now and it can all be converted into numerous different formats that the regular cd is going to end up turning into the next vinyl record or cassette. Can you imagine cd's just becoming the next music collection item? Its going to happen someday I guarantee it. Just like someday cars will probably fly and we will never use gas again. Things are always in constant change, especially technology...And just like I say...change is always good.

Midnight Worries

Here I am in the middle of the night writing a blog when I should be sleeping and dreaming about warm fuzzy nice stuff. I have relocated at my Grandma's house for the night because I literally can't stand it at my dad's house. It is dirty, boring, annoying and there's no food there at all. And at the moment I am really really hungry but I dont have the money to go get some food. But I knew my Grandma's house had food. My Grandma's house is like my sanctuary it is definitely my home away from home and my Grandma is defintely my mom that I never had. I never used to be able to leave my dads house once I got home. It's like once I entered the house I was trapped and I have come to resent that feeling greatly. I now have worked up the courage to just tell my dad that I am leaving and it is quite refreshing to just get up and leave on your own. I can't go to sleep because I have a pretty bad headache and the only thing to do is wait it out. It's okay because I dont have work tomorrow. I dont really have any plans for tomorrow and I will probably sleep alot. I have popped in some tasty cinnamon rolls into the oven they still have 15 minutes to cook though...oh well they are yummy. Maybe I will have some cereal after that...maybe some ice cream too?

I think my headache has to do with my lingering uncertaintly of my financial situtation. Its not like I'm in any kind of debt or anything its just I feel a little bit of pressure because this is the first time in my life I will have to pay bills. And pay them on time of course...thats the tricky part. This month it just so happens that my car payment and my insurance payment are both due. This only happens once every three months so hopefully it wont' be as bad as it sounds. But basically that totals to be about 500ish those two added up so thats almost all of a check with about 100-200 left over and where does that extra money go...well I have an internet payment, I usually have a little bit of money to pay off on my credit card and pretty soon I will have a cell phone payment that could be anywhere from 30 dollars to who knows how much (hopefully i can discipline myself a bit more on those outside text messages) so if you do the math that leaves almost no room for extra money for things like gas, my dog, food, entertainment or whatever. So I'm just kinda waiting to see how it all turns out. All of these payments really put a lot of pressure on someone who is new to this kind of stuff. The main concern is keeping your credit score up as high as it can be. Having good credit really opens the doors to a lot of different financial options. As of right now I have no credit to show because I am so young and I have never had to pay any bills before but now that I have bills to pay hopefully sooner or later my credit will begin to go up and everything will be just peachy. Of course bills only come around once a month and checks come out twice a month so that is one beautiful benefit for me. But the dowside is all my bills are due right within about 5 days of one another so basically whatever check that comes out right before them...thats where all that money will go for that check. :( oh well I guess thats life as an adult. Thats what I get.

The Will

Me and Tyler were talking once upon a time and decided we would both post our life wills on our blog pages just in case if we ever died abrubtly we would have some kind of lasting direction for the ones that we have left behind. As it would be quite weird to walk into a lawyers office and declare that you would like to write up a will right now I think my blog page is the best place to put it. Even though I believe that none of my family members even recognize that I have a blog page. (Neither does anyone else for that matter) But maybe it will come up as they will undoubtedly search through every single personal piece of matter that belonged to me when I abrubtly die. Anyways Im sure I will not be able to write every single thing in one sitting so as new things come to mind I will add additional ammendments to the will so all you faithful readers out there please check back every once in a while to make sure you have read it all! Anyways here goes..these are in no particular order of importance.

First and foremost I would like to express my gratitude for all those who have touched my life in any way that was beneficial...and even those ones that weren't because even bad things are beneficial at some point. I am sorry that I am dead and that I am not able to tell you how thankful I am in person. I am sure my memories of you will last an eternity.

Second and secondmost I would like my body buried in an unmarked grave in perhaps the most peaceful and untouched spot around.

Third and thirdmost I would like to leave my blog url to any biological heirs that I have reproduced. If I have not yet been able to experience the subliminal feeling of reproduction then I will leave it to no one.

Fourth and fourthmost let my wife know that I am dead and have passed on to a better way of life and that I will be waiting for her when she too takes her own checkered flag. Let her know that I may be flirting with other girls so she better hurry up and I could possibly be owning my own pet store somewhere up there. If she already knows that I am dead then disregard the aforementioned material and simply tell her Hi.

Fifth and fifthmost please continue on the tradition of Friday Night Bowling at exactly the same time it was always at whether that was 7:00, 7:30, or 8:00 I dont really know. If by chance Tyler happens to get a strike that results in a free game he must pound his chest with his fist and then point to the heavens.

Sixth and sixthmost someone must take care of Darvy even though his reputation as a very stupid dog has a bit of truth to it he is quite loving and ever faithful. If no one can take him then maybe you can set up his electrical fence around my unmarked grave and leave him with me in the silence of our own intertwined and divinely touched lives.

Seventh and seventhmost please call back all the army recruiters that are sill trying to get a hold of me and tell them that they can finally stop trying to get ahold of me. If they need extra condolence maybe you can tell them that I have enlisted in the Army of Heaven as a tank mechanic and that I am thoroughly enjoying the many benefits and free college tuition that I am recieving from that branch of the Army.

Eighth and eighth most someone will undoubtedly have to fill in for me at my job over at the wagon wheel...even though thats not it anymore thats what it will always be to me. I dont think that I'll ever be able to leave that place though try as I might. So basically whoever is elected to fill in for me must stay there for the rest of their lives. Unless I was in the position of owning the place then it can be imploded and made into a nice little garden.

Ninth and ninthmost someone should please see to it that everything on the Life List is crossed off in my name. That includes encouraging Dylon and Tyler not to slouch on such things of importance, and that new exciting things are occasionally added to keep up with the spirit of it all.

--I have decided to stop with the whole next number by next numbermost thing instead I will just put 10.- Someone must continue on with that great saga of a poem that I have created. I would prefer somebody who has a good ability to create a nice flowing poem and that actually knows how to ryhm because even though dark and shark might ryhm they probably wont fit into my poem very well. Advise them to go ahead and make it as long as it needs to be seeing as how I have already done that.

11. There are a few things I would like to be buried with, 1. I'd like to be buried with love. 2. Some clothes please 3. With people there...besides the gravediggers 4. some fuzzy dice hanging from the roof of my casket. 4. My graduation class ring. 5. My laptop so that I can continue on with my blogs after I have reached the other side. 6. a copy of the poem Death be not Proud. 7. I would like someone in the crowd to suddenly raise their voice to the heavens and sing amazing grace and the whole crowd will tune in and at the end everyone will burst into tears and later exclaim it was the greatest burial moment they could ever recall. 8. Each one of my good friends will have a special item assigned to them to come up and lay by my side. Tyler will have my High School graduation ring because he always seemed to be sitting right next to me throughout high school. Dylon can have a football or basketball or golf ball or he can bring along my dog which used to be his or something because we both thoroughly enjoy playing sports with or against each other. Billy can give me a purple heart he stole from the Army wharehouse...just because he can and I'm sure I earned a purple heart somewhere along the line. Mercedes should bring me my pink fuzzy dice that she gave me once upon a time and maybe she could even kiss me...once or twice...
