the most vegan thing that has ever happened to me.
got fired from cattlemen's today. 9 years deep. called in last friday at noon. got my shift covered saturday. my dad (who i get to see 2/3 times a year) was in town. light-railed my ass all the way out there today to walk in the door to termination papers. "refusal to work... sign here... sorry." yeah. thanks. i could have handled this on my day off, but thanks. fuck it, i was going to quit on the 15th anyway. sons of cock. Current Mood: aggravated |

i think...
...i like life. the trees and quiet boulevards of sacramento do seem to lend themselves nicely to the late afternoon winter sun... on my evening jog today, a precious little fluffy, gray house cat, complete with tinkling golden bell collar awakened me. he seemed to fancy my shoelaces and the jangling pair of copied house keys tied to them. so much so, that he chased me for an entire block through midtown in the quiet dusk. he kept pace until the intersection where, losing interest, stopping to lick a paw, he plopped down in a rather carefree, graceful, feline manner onto a shaded section of some victorian's manicured lawn. i couldn't help but to laugh uncontrollably. at the situation, at the fact that to a cat, i may have just been one passing adventure in a day full of many such adventures. yet this simple chance meeting changed, indeed, completely altered a week, month, years worth of frustrations, malice, disappointment. suddenly my shortness of breath, my burning muscles, screaming from years of disuse, the chill burning my hands, stinging my nose, all of that, all of it disappeared. it was at this moment i glanced up through the now darkening gray silhouettes of tree limbs, through to the now purpling orange sky, past to the crows daily migration, and realized...

rolling stones.
i just got home from seeing the rolling stones. this is the first and probably the only time i will ever see them. the show was amazing. it is entirely cliche to say that it is remarkable what they do at their age.... but it is remarkable what they do at any age. i can see why they continue to keep at what they do, and with touring... etc. but, you can see it in them. for every part of every song they play. they are on. they play with such feeling. it is unbelievable. they palyed for over 2 HOURS! i get tired playing a 30 minute set! the entire show was great. and bonnie raitt opened for them. she was also amazing. such an amazing singer... her slide guitar playing was unbelievable.... i was sooo glad i got to see her as well. i had a fantastic night. it was a nice break in the middle of all the dysfunctional family mess/ grieving process. happy thanksgiving to all of you... spend it well with family or friends. don't eat any turkey... and at least acknowledge the genocide which we perpetrated aginst those whose land this was before us. fuck the pilgrims. fuck the puritans. p.s. we found a bunch of nazi shit my grandpa got during wwii. |

sketchy
sooo. -i decided to go back to school. for a second b.a... before going for my teaching credential. -i registered and began to attend, but was told i no longer qualified because it will be my second b.a. -shitty. but they said i could appeal... -so i continued going, hoping... -after a couple weeks, i was rejected. however, they automatically put it to a second level, so there was still a chance... -family emergency happened so i missed a week of school. -i continued... i wasn't hearing anything from the school about the appeal and i hadn't paid tuition yet. - i began receiving rather threatening letters explaining how they were going to kick me out if i didn't pay sooo... -being broke, i decided to stop attending classes and use my energy to pick up more days at work and look for some sort of legitimate employment with the state... (bleh... but benefits! and like 3 grand a month. wooo!)(did i mention i am broke? i am on food stamps these days. yay for the liberals!) -anyway. i just got news my appeal was approved and i am getting money. -but i am no longer attending classes. -so. i think i am just going to cash out. craziness. in other news. life aint so bad. i love the new season. i finally cleaned my studio. my phone is still off, but i am getting money soon, right? so that should work itself out shortly. things are looking up.

let's talk about sex
today i got tested. i have never been. i recommend it. didn't really like the needle part. but the peeing in a cup made up for it. it is surprising how comforting a warm cup of your own urine feels in cold hands. wish me luck. i may need to start an aids crew. Current Mood: anxious |

hello livejournal.
life. my brother is in a rehab/counseling/school type deal in utah after an overdose. ( 24 dramamine.... after a weekend of snorting pills.) he snuck out friday night and turned up monday passed out in the school bathroom. seriously. this has been the longest week of my life. intensive care. staying up all night by hospital beds. uncertainty. he is both incredibly lucky and incredibly stupid. this has been a long time coming. i think this will indeed be good for him. i am going to miss him. but, better a couple months, a year, however long... better that, than missing him forever. p.s. fuck the white trash forty year old tweeker motherfucker supplying my brother with drugs. i hope this sends you back to prison. if not... you have a lot of trouble headed your way. |

never forget
what your first reactions were. about the controlled demolition of towers one and two. about what happened to building #7 about the lack of wreckage at the pentagon and in p.a. about "why hadn't jets been scrambled?" about "if two hours after the attacks, the government had enough information to blame it on osama ( a long standing cia operative), then how come the didn't have it two hours prior to the attacks... or in the two hours during the attacks... ?" i hate to think that anyone could do this. there are bad people in this world. don't think your government and civilian elite are exculded from that list. peace.
