Last night's entry in "Common Pleasure" (the current notebook journal)

I figured I'd write a bit while absorbing my political bullshit of the day (I watch Leno's monologue instead of the news.) I'd rather laugh about our country's folly than listen to what the mass media has to say. As if Leno is a good source...Anyhow, I ran into my old controversial college crush the other day. Brad...not Chris but Brad. Be rest assured that there's no -whatever- going on there. I was over that several years ago. I remember a time when I couldn't be near him without my shakes turning into tremors though. That's no longer a problem thankfully. I heard from my cousin quite awhile ago that he was engaged. Sure enough, he proved the rumors true. We talked briefly about why I'm back in town. What both of us have been up to. Your typical shooting of the shit. He did inform me that he's been spending a lot of time and money recording a demo. Paying massive amounts for extra studio time, playing all of the instruments on his own, and layering tracks. He said it probably wasn't the best method but he hasn't had much luck with finding a band or anyone really who's interested in the same sort of stuff that he's doing. I tried to think of someone I could hook him up with but couldn't pull anything right off the top of my head. So he invited me to check out his accoustic set on Tuesday night (tonight). If I thought of anyone by then, I should bring them along. It took about 2 seconds after he walked away before I thought of multiple people who might be interested. This happened on... Friday or Saturday I believe. After much internal conflict and deliberation, I decided to search some people out and go. Why the hell not? I happen to be into quite a large span of musical genres. If I recall correctly, I have several pictures of him playing guitar in the lobby of Reed hall. That was probably the only thing I ever really liked about the boy anyway. I enjoy listening to a nice boy play guitar and sing. Last night, I called TJ to see if he'd join me. He's sick and unfortunately has to work. Really didn't sound too good over the phone. I mentioned his lovely new roommate Andrew, and he said that D would probably want to check it out. D ended up coming over to Laurie's and hanging out with us for awhile and we discussed it. He agreed to a fun filled night of music courtesy of Mr. Brad. I'm excited. I'm going out and not to the bar for once. Ya! We also had a short talk about the "stupid Dave thing". I told him not to worry about "passing the word on". I'm chalking this up to another one of my horny weaknesses.



~I'd eat you alive!!!~

I worked another short but sweet shift this morning. The day started off with me sleeping in and fighting with the man over bathroom time. #1: I have a job, and I need to be there on time. #2: You do not have a job. So give me a break. He has a tendency of trivializing everything I do. Ok, so I won't defend the importance of my job. It's lame, I know that. But I should at least show up on time. My first hour on the clock basically consisted of driving to the bank with Shannon and a nonstop gossipfest. It never ceases to amaze me that Kyle is brought up in at least 2 conversations per day. You'd think, after such a sloppy nasty break up (over a year ago) people would either get over it and not talk about it all or try not to bring it up. And if they did, they'd walk on egg shells when it comes to a topic like that. I think I make it sound worse than what it is. It doesn't bother me as much as it seems. I just don't understand it. If it were up to the majority of my acquaintances, I would know what he had for breakfast each morning and the exact time he takes a shit everyday. Eh, that wasn't even half of the mall blab that I heard about today. She filled me in on what she thinks Emily is up to. Supposedly, Emily is hanging out with Shannon's X. She wants me to find out if she's bangin' him or not. I love my job! At one point early this afternoon, I was working on stock and I see a denim jacket and black hair walk past waving like Miss America. Not once but twice. I came to the conclusion that it was the wonderful AJ. Another one of the few that I had thought of while contemplating who I should contact about Brad's set tonight. That made my decision clear. I called AJ on my way home to make fun of him for waving like a dork as he walked past my store and to invite him along for this evening's festivities. He's already made plans he says. But if things fall through, he'll get a hold of me. What a nice boy. I didn't feel so horrible talking to him this time. A bit less like a stalker. I have noticed myself watching my mouth around him though. I just need to remember that there's a thing called respect and then there's forcing yourself to change for someone else.

~She gives a smile and presses her hips into his. He keeps his hands pinned down to his sides. He's holding back from showing her exactly what it really feels like. He is the lamb, she is the slaughter. She's moving way to fast when all he wanted was to hold her...~

So I had no idea where this coffee house was. I had to look it up on Mapquest. That was a trip. He didn't really give me very much information. Just what day and the name of the coffee place. So I looked up some directions the other night while attempting to look more things up for my "weekend getaway". Then I called Common Grounds today and spoke to Rhonda. I love it when people give you their name over the phone. She's like, "Thanks for calling Common Grounds, this is Rhonda, how can I help you???" I love that. So I say, "Hello Rhonda, I've got a question for you." I think it shocks people when you're polite to them over the phone. She says, "oh...sure!" So I had to ask what time Brad was playing. Maybe it will make them assume he has "fans". That way, they'll be more inclined to ask him back. Anything I can do to help you know. huh, funny thing I noticed about Mr. Brad the other day. As we all know, I'm too observant. It kills me sometimes. I think I said something once about how he looked a little like AJ. (almost 3 years ago when I was going to school with him) So for all of you who checked out the "celebrity lookalikes", (which has been deleted since I've revamped the site again) you know I compared AJ to Mraz. Well, I got a good look at Brad and it's really...ridiculous. He looks like Mraz minus heavy touring (so add a few pounds). He's not heavy...not at all. Jason's a little skinny if you ask me. But his face...it's uncanny. It makes AJ's resemblence to Mraz...nonexistant. There was another lookalike that I noticed the other day. I can't remember now. Anyways, here we go again with my attention to details...Brad was wearing a John Mayer t-shirt when I ran into him. So it wouldn't surprise me if he's heard of Jason. I'll ask. If not, he'd like it. I'm always happy to spread Mraz love around. If I have the time, I'll burn an extra random Mraz disc. You know I have about 5 million of them in my car already. I could just give him one of those. I can't help it. I'm a dorky fan. None of my friends really get into it like I do though. Rob...but he moved to Kansas before I had the chance to make him a copy. And to finish downloading the Maroon 5 set. My mom likes it...(hee hee) Only because that's usually what's blasting from my computer. I've caught her singing along on many occasions. She also knows the words to PIMP and Shake ya tail feather. That's not my fault though. Well, I suppose it is. I'm the one who turns the radio on. But I'm definately not the one who chooses which songs to play. If only I had that power...if only. Well, I've got to do something productive. So that's all for today. I know there was something else I wanted to talk about today but I rambled about Mraz instead. That happens a lot. I'm sure I'll remember later. Hope the new background on the main page is suitable. I like it...that's all that matters. If only I could find a way to stretch it rather than repeat the damn pattern...if only. I also updated Who Am I. Nothing exciting really. I'll archive for August later. Just not in the mood right now. And I'm planning on adding some newer poetry. Haven't written much lately. We'll see.

~and I dare you to forget the marks you left upon my neck...~
