a working class zero
today i started my new job at the cereal packaging plant in lakeville. it seems like a pretty simple job that doesn't require thought, just manual labour and skills that a machine can't perform however i'm sure that machines could be built to fully do this job. the work i did didn't seem so bad, but the safety videos from the eighties were horrible yet funny at the same time. i was the only one laughing though, the others just looked at me like i was a freak. thats fair, we'll see who's laughing when they can't figure out what happend to the marshmellows in the lucky charms.

time is a killer
you know, when you not working and not going to school you'll end up with a lot of time on your hands. to parents this means you'll have time to do all the chores around the house. "you've got nothing to do huh, well i've got something for you to do..." but i'm trying to find a job so hopefully i can get out of the house every once and a while and get some cash.
movies
i finally saw the matrix reloaded on wednesday, it was pretty good. would i see it again in the theatre? maybe but probably not. i forgot to mention a wee bit ago that on the flight back to the states i watched the movies evelyn and the hours. surprisingly i liked both of them but i must say that had they not have been shown on the flight chances are that i would have never watched them, but i'm glad i did. girl: "what happens to you when you die?", virginia: "you return to the place from which you came", g: "i don't remember where i came from", v: "nor do i"... for some reason that conversation sticks out in my head.

q: do they hate the french over there?
a: hate is a strong word but many people don't like the french or germans because the brit were at war with both of those countries for so long in the past. in the case of the french the brits and french were constantly at war until the battle of waterloo in 1812. from this hatred came the expressions like 'pardon my french' and 'dirty french whore'... the germans are mainly not like because of the whole second world war thing... still.

you were right
well i'm pretty much jobless now, my work didn't have any hours for me for next month, well one day, that'll help not so much seeing how i'm broke. the money i have is probably enough money for gas but where the hell am i going to go? i've got nothing. i need to find a job now but i just can't be bothered, i don't care anymore. fuck it.
one man band
everytime i play guitar now its not the same. i got too used to rocking out with andreas. you can't play rhythm guitar without your lead guitarist/singer. songs just seem empty without him. this just makes me miss people, mainly those from london. god bless you all. this entry ends here. or after this...
