Is too aggravated to be motivated and it effing sucks.

I'm over work,it's bullshit. Too much shit talking going on. They hate me, fucking good. They don't know the half of it.
I recorded another show last Saturday. Found out I had the day off Friday night so it worked out for that matter.

I give you Autarkeia!!!

I may be ballsy, but I'm not a balla

So a lot of aspects of my life have turned to shite lately. Things at work haven't gotten better, I'm leaving after season. My mum's health has been all out of whack and my dad's work situation has been terrible too.

I had a decent tax return so I decided to use it to go away and see my bestie. There's times when you just need them and this was one of them. Everything worked out great for it. Her and her sis weren't busy, tickets were hella cheap (less then 200 round-trip!) and I got to throw in a good ol' Irish Punk show with some FL punx too in too(Up da FL punx!) I gave work 5 weeks heads up, they didn't tell me no and then tried to get all pissy right before. Whatevz.

The trip worked too. Everything is still dumb, but I'm not as stressed about it.

4 days of awesome.

I got there and it was all rainy the one day. Cheered Olivia up with random awesomeness. Then hung around Roseland for the show. Met some great people, had some interesting chats with the staff. The show was a lot of fun. AM! came out and I yelled Up da FL punx aha. Their set was great and a blast. I def had the set list when it got tossed but everyone went nuts for it. I ended up the most and one of the photographers saw and asked to take a pic, we're all in a review and look so stoked. Every pic I'm in from the trip I looked stoked and destressed. There was a group of Dropkick fans who sucked. They were there to take as many people out as possible. One ended up behind me and he was trying to crush me, I could feel him readjust himself to put more pressure on me(he was also 3 times my size). I couldn't do anything to shake him. Then he started to choke me with the side of his arm too...to stop breathing is not a good feeling. I ended up getting pulled out for the first time ever. Everyone who still remained up front who I had met and the 2 awesome guards all high fived me for getting the hell out of there. They all saw what happened. I ran into everyone from line and the a same guys took most of them out. Lame! What I saw and heard of DKM was awesome, but a few of us ended up leaving earlier. I get to Olivia's new awesome place and I'm being all quiet, only to walk in an they're yelling between the floors lolz.

The next day I took my time going into the city. I woke with a bruised chest. I love exploring the city. Walking around calms me. I hit up Nintendo World and Rockerfeller. Got a sweet coat(I only own hoodies) and wandered the park right after I found a shark beanie I should add. I could spend an entire day there...and have. I decided to be ballsy and I sent Tom a message saying that I was torn between asking him to let me record the secret show Saturday or to just sing my heart out. After paying my respects at Strawberry Fields, I headed to the Broadway area where me and Olivia were meeting to see Rain( box seats muthafuckas). She was running late from work so I wandered around. Who do I run into but Tommy Gabel. I wave and say hi, he comes over and we chat a little and he tells me that he got my message and if I want to I can record Saturday! Holy shit, I must of looked like a kid at christmas! I told him yeah if they want me to and he told me to just let him know online for sure. !!! I find Olivia and freak out a little aha. we had some delish thai and went to the theatre. Box seats are awesome. We acted pretentious for the hell of it. The broadway adaption is AMAZING!!!!! Their John and Ringo are too good. We were dancing and singing and would overly applaud everything(welll done sir, well done sir). We felt a little bad for the couple behind us,but they were offered other seats and didn't say anything to us. Afterward we happened upon the theatre Daniel Radcliffe was performing at and the actors and actresses walk out afterward to meet people so we creeped on Daniel. I got some ok pics.

Saturday I went to the city earlier to try and find things for my camera and Olivia tried to score us tix to Daniel's play(so close!). We met up at Mercury Lounge. I saw Tom again and he told me he had a pass set aside for me. We go in and I give my name for our tickets and say I have a pass too. The lady claims they don't do passes and cameras are allowed. I told her it was to record and she did a total 180 on me and gets this bitchy attitude and sends me over to the corner. She's telling me recording isn't just allowed and that it costs 250 bucks and who's this Tom, get a hold of him. Oh man, so I'm sending him messages and she won't let us go anywhere. Andrew was right there though talking to some guy so I walked over and apologized for interrupting, but did he know where Tom was because I'm the one who's supposed to be recording and the lady won't let me through. He's a total sweetheart and introduces himself and goes I know who you are, I'll go find Tom or Jordan, don't worry. So then Jordan comes over and talks to the lady. She's all nice to him and goes on and on about this 250 dollars and we're both like yeah we're not doing that and she finally let's us through, but don't take out that camera. Jordan was super nice about it too. I thanked him and apologized that he even had to come out there. All the lady had to do was say you can't record. Not get all these people involved.

What a roller coaster of emotions. I was still super excited, just a different excited. My heart went from in my throat from being excited and nervous from this chance I was given to deep in my stomach. Still excited regardless. Lolz I got Olivia to go by promising plaid, beers and beards. We sent numerous ,messages back and forth on the subject. Trophy Wife opened and they were great. Girl duo from Philly. They have this really neat good luck box full of random stuff. The AM! set was by far one of the best. I heard pretty much every song in live rotation that I wanted to. I managed to get some great pics while singing along and dancing. One girl did not know how to crowd surf and got thrown and landed on me. No biggie. Well until she kicked me in the wrist for no reason, she was already down and I cushioned her from the stage. my wrist got cut and bruised. Jay saw it too, we're injury twins. Everyone was turned towards Tom so I kept turning towards James. I love the new things they've been doing with Jay, he's such a good fit. Andrew was so energetic. Kept doing the gator chomp lolz. It was a little weird/awesome when they started Miami for the encore and I only heard me freak out. Some kid creeped next to me and took Tom's set. I asked the sound guy for Jay's and moved the monitors out of his way so he could get to the wires. I got it, so being nice pays off. Me and Olivia were just hanging out on the bench inside while people were leaving and things were getting packed up. Andrew came over to make sure everything was ok with getting in and to see if they gave me anymore trouble. Seriously a sweetheart, he didn't have to do that. I told him I came from FL to see them(up da FL punx!)He goes I know, hold on, Cape Coral right? I see your messages on twitter. Aha, I can't be super annoying or he wouldn't of come over and they wouldnt of said I could record. Olivia points out his gator chomp to which he responds that h doesnt really care about any of that shit. I told him she went to FSU and they had a little "fight" over Gainesville vs Tally. Sidenote sound guy with the glasses went to FSU too, Olivia's new boy aha. I couldn't stop laughing.

Their equipment trunks are named and one was Conan O'Brien which amused us greatly.

James was drunk to say the least when I went over to say hi. He'd joke around and then apologize. A lot of people were visiting so I kinda had a hurried chat with him.

Outside Olivia was creeping on and endless line of boys. Tom came up to me and made sure everything was ok from earlier. Again so sweet. He apologized that he forgot some big cities like to make money on everything. It wasn't their fault at all and they were all super nice and professional about it all. Before we parted ways we wished each other safe travels back to FL.

We went to this fantastic Alice in Wonderland tea house! We would get the table with the creepy doll though. Food never taste so good. After we met up with Alecia and Sarah and they all got HP shots which I documented. The bartender was great and my shirley temple was free! Random dancing while charging my phone too. We got some desert and then creeped on Daniel again. Alecia and Sarah had gone to the play earlier and they ended up meeting him!

Lazy Sunday wake up in the late afternoon... we went and got brunch...ok make that sandwiches and Popovers. Go there when in NYC!!! Soooo good! Went to Magnolia to get 6 cuz that Bakery has got all the bomb frostings. Ended up at a mall with Dali pieces on display, hell yes.Quick stop at the park and some much needed time at Sanrio.Then headed back to the apartment and chilled before I headed to the airport.

Good trip. Good times with my bestie. Good times with FL punx. Good new people. Good good food.

i really should of been "kidnapped" and helped Olivia at her work though...
I've been writing in my actual journal way more lately.

The work situation still hasn't gotten any better.

For better or worse, it all changes tomorrow.

I've had boxes packed for 2 years for moving, but things kept happening. I had to unpack them the other day. Not giving up, just keeping the peace in a house that's tense as hell.

Lake's Park is awesome. I've been going as much as possible to ride. I had a pretty decent fall that cut and bruised me all up, didn't feel any of it. Further proof I am turning into a mutant.

I got a pretty decent tax return and decided to use part of it to go up to NJ/NY and see Olivia. I will also be attending the Dropkick Murphy's St. Patty's day tour with Against Me! and now OWTH. Should be crazy fun. I'm going to explore, eat,hang out, eat, sing my heart out,eat, party with some DP, eat.

I'm going a convention in Miami Saturday. My friends in the 3000 Brigade are performing! i can't really afford any of the things going on at it, but I have a pretty sweet surprise.

I'll also get to see my "baby daddy" again

Seriously don't watch Regular Show. That shite is crazy and not in the good way. Making kids dumb.

Blah,Blah,Blah,You're Making Me Sick

I try to keep certain events to myself. Sometimes things just don't need to plastered all over the interwebs for everyone to see. But I need to get this off my chest. Shouldn't be too bad on here since maybe 5 people even read this.

I work with a lady who is infamous, INFAMOUS for lying and manipulating. She's done it for years. I was told when I first started by a manager about her lies, wonderful. It's a small company owned by a billionaire so they don't exactly care too much about what some employees get away with. Or exactly want to solve problems.

Last week she randomly starts yelling about all these lies she's made up about me. Claiming things like I turn down the music only when she's there. I keep it at the volume it was at when I came in, I only switch what's being played. That very night I had customers complimenting what was being played, but it's turned down right?

Then she goes on about how I don't talk to her as much as other people. I'm just not a super talkative person, especially at work. I go there to work. If we happen to talk while working it's called multitasking. She yells across the store and keeps you from working. But I do talk to her, just not all the time. But then again I don't talk to anyone all the time. I go through phases I guess of talking a lot and then not.

All of this must be because I don't like her. This isn't the case. She can be annoying at times yes, but nothing enough to not like her.

So I count out and I go over to talk to her about all this. I explain how I'm just not a super talkative person and that I do like and apologized if I made her feel any other way. After all my explaining and apologizing, she then accuses me of being prejudice. I had to tell her I was not and re explain everything all over again. She's finally ok with everything and we leave.

I'm not ok with it all though. I let all the management know what happened. They all agree I was in the right and that everything she said wasn't true at all. They said they'd talk to her about because you can't go around thoughtlessly accusing people of something like that. And it's not true! They even said she needs to apologize to me.

Except they haven't even spoken to her about it. So now 3 times a week I get to work with her and act as if everything is fine when I am really just sick to my stomach.

I haven't been able to eat in a week, everything makes me sick.

I raised myself to treat everyone equally and to give everyone a chance. It's a terrible thing to have the one thing you've brought yourself up being against so carelessly thrown at you. And with no consequences whatsoever.

This place is ridiculous, I need a new job.
