The Faux Hawk
Last Friday (not the 23rd but the week before that) After making fun of this hair style, I decided to give it a test run to feel what it is like to drive around and walk around while wearing such a “Trendy Hairstyle” I decided to put on a tight black t-shirt (I assume that that is the accompanying style) and make a trip down 28th street to Petsmart to buy a cat brush and anti-shedding wipes. now I realize that a trip to Petsmart isn’t the most “hip” things to do but I figure that cool trendy people need to shop for their cats too, and the style doesn’t stop with pet-care items. I popped in my most recent trendy/indie purchase into the C.D. player (Keane: Hopes and Fears) and jammed down the road with my windows down and radio blasting. I pulled into the parking lot and drew looks…though it may have been because my music was so loud. I swaggered into petsmart as my faux-hawk sliced through the wind. I then made my way over to the cat section, perused the products and then went to check-out…I don’t think I got any outrageous looks from the cashier, but I bet she was thinking “Damn…that is one sexy doo!” I gave her a smile and then went on my merry way. That is basically the extent of the Faux-Hawk experience…and basically my friday night…..Faux-Hawks, Cat wipes, and a DVD…this is my life folks…as pathetic as it is, I still enjoy it.

The Pouty lips and eyes are what I think people with Faux-Hawks do with their face. I think it adds to the mystery and cool-ness.

Wedding
So this past Tuesday I got a call from my buddy Nate asking me to be in his wedding…in 4 days! You see one of his groomsmen fell off a mountain in Germany and was injured pretty bad. I was the understudy. A while back when Nate and I weren’t in such close touch, he informed me of the wedding party he chose and decided that Sol (the now injured) would be a better fit at that time.He told me back then that if anything were to happen to any of his groomsmen that he wanted me to stand up. I am pretty sure (and Nate is too) that he used the phrase “Like if one of my groomsmen fell off the face of the earth.” That is kind of creepy since I would say that a 150 foot fall is kind similar. So I got measured for the tux, layed out the cash, went to the rehersa, canceled my date (since I was now at the head table) and did the whole standing-up thing all over again. It was fun and I am happy for the new couple. All together it was nice to be part of the whole thing now that Nate and I are friends again.

Album
I recieved the second mix of the album and am going through making my criticisms…I think it will take just one more mix and we will have the final thing! Now all I need to do is get all the CD art figured out and then fund the printing!

Cheeze Balls

I am now convinced that Planter’s Cheeze balls are the perfect food for the car. The can is re-sealable, it fits right between your legs for easy snacking and driving, the wierd chemicals are sure to keep it from spoiling very quickly and they just taste really freaking good!

Work
I work at a place that makes Wrap sandwiches, it is not glamorous nor is it really challenging. I would like a job where my talents and skills can be put to use. But I do have to admit that I do lay down the salami with extreme precision, and can clean a reach-in cooler way better than anyone else. I close the store 3 nights a week two of them being tommorrow and Wednesday. It is usually really slow so I get to put in my own CD’s instead of W-Light AKA W-Suck. You can only hear so many Bryan Adams songs in one day! So I think I am going to bring Othello (the game) to work tommorrow if things get really slow. I encourage all of you readers to come into my current place of employment either tommorrow night or wednesday night…from 5:00 to 8:00 things are nice and slow and kind of boring.

(*Little Known fact* Sometimes I write my name in Mayonaise on the wrap before I add the other ingredients!!!)

Conclusion
Like I said Before, This is my life. It is nothing fantastic just a bunch of random odd things like faux-hawks, cat wipes, injured groomsmen, names in Mayo and lots of movies to pass the time. The key is taking these things and convincing yourself that they are cool!
