Oh...

I'm here now. Thanks.

To the people that commented, thanks for your input. I'm glad to know that people have actually enjoyed reading about my life. Over the last almost-two-years, I've poured everything out into this journal. I've opened myself up to the world. I've held absolutely nothing back. That has to change, though. At the current moment, I don't feel comfortable anymore sharing my private life with the world. I've lived a rollercoaster life over the last three years. Now, I just need to take a step back and figure out what the hell I'm doing.

As for Kera, I love her so incredibly much. I want to spend eternity with her. Ever since I was a young boy, I've dreamed of finding that special one, getting married, starting a family, and living a happy life. I truly felt that Kera was my dream come true. I still believe that, too. She is her own person though and is capable of making her own decisions. If she wants time apart from me, then I have no choice but to respect that. That does not make her a bitch or a bad person. Just like any other person on this planet, she's doing what she feels that she has to do in order to figure things out and be happy. If her happiness doesn't involve me, then that's just a hard fact of life that I must deal with. I wish Kera the best and I give her all of the love in the world that I have to offer.
Ever since her and I first started talking, years ago, I've grown closer and closer to her. I feel in love with her. We've grown together over the last couple of years, especially during the last year. I don't wanna lose her, but a guy can't always get what a guy wants. All I can do is hope for the best.

So, until I can get my head back straight, I'm gonna take an indefinite hiatus from writing in here. I need to keep things to myself and to those close to me. The world's gonna have to take a little break from the Book of Dave. I hope to return to you all as a very happy person with a bright future ahead of me. But, as of right now, I'm miserable and unsure of where I'm heading. Until that changes, I wish all of you happiness in your lives. Thanks for reading. -Dave Travis

It's Saturday. I'm gonna get straight to the main point of today. Kera and I are no longer a couple. Tomorrow was to be our anniversary. We made it nearly six months. We went through a ton of shit that would've driven most normal couples insane. We held it together very good... until today. She gave up on me. She wants time apart. I only want to be with her, but that's not possible. My feelings for her haven't changed since back in October. I love her to death and I really believe that her and I will be together for the rest of our lives. I just hope she finds that same part of her. Until then... life gets reallllllly boring.

I splurged a little bit last night at Guitar Center. I finally broke down and put the Alesis Micron synthesizer on layaway. It'll be mine for good in a week or two. Today, I ended up working from 5 to 11:30 am. It sucked ass. After that, I went to Lodi for a few hours, did some work on my car, hung out with my parents, and then dropped by my friend Chris' house for a little bit. Supposedly, Carl's having a bonfire tonight, but he has yet to return my call. I'm not sure if I wanna go or not yet, but it's an option, I guess. Actually, I feel like just going straight to bed. If he doesn't call shortly, that's probably exactly what I'm going to do. Fuck happiness. I've busted my ass to try to give myself and others a happy life, but I always manage to do something wrong. First it was Sarah. Then it was Heather. And now it's Kera. I'm thinking maybe I'm just not meant to be happy... or at least be with the person I love. If there is a god, then he obviously wants me to be a lifelong bachelor. The sad thing is... I know for a fact that I am a good guy. Sarah, Heather, and Kera all can attest for that. Sure, I have my downfalls just like any other person. But, as a whole, I'd say I've got my shit together. Sarah, of course, would probably have an argument against that, but I can't blame her for that. That was my mistake, not her's. Anyway, I'm sick of living a rollercoaster life. I'm sick of finding happiness, only to have it taken away from me. I'm sick of this fucking journal. I'm sick of opening myself and my feelings up to a world that doesn't give a fuck about me. I guess that my best friend is myself. That's a sad, but true, fact. I'm gonna tell myself that I'm done typing in this stupid thing. I'm gonna tell you all that this is gonna be my last entry, barring some sort of miracle. Miracles don't happen to me, though. My life is just one big mistake after another. But yeah, I don't feel like I'm accomplishing anything by expressing myself on here. If you seem to disagree and actually DO give a flying fuck about me and my miserable life, please leave a comment thingy. If I get enough of them to motivate me, then I'll continue to share my lifelong story with you. Otherwise, then I guess I'm right and this is where this part of the journey ends. It's been fun. I'll be back.... maybe. -dT

Why hello there! It's Friday!!! Yayyyyy!!#!!#!$@!$ I'm gonna try to make this as fun of a journal entry as possible!!!! YAY!!!

Current Mood ----> :-) YAY! Happy happy, joy joy!
Currently listening to ----> Pantera 'Drag The Waters'
Currently whatever else ----> Yeah, your mom.

Okay, so fuck that idea. My real current mood would most likely have to involve a stick of dynamite, an extremely dull knife, and some peanut butter. Moving right along... it is indeed a beautiful, sunshiny Friday afternoon here in northern Ohio, U.S.A. I am in fact listening to my collection of 190 1/2 hours of nonstop songs, via Winblows Media Player. Today has been one of them kinda days. Some of it has been pretty good; Some has been shit. Work was so-so, I suppose. I put in the now-typical nine hours for the day. I also discovered that we're probably working a full day tomorrow as well. Oh well, that's cool with me. My paycheck today was over $500 after taxes for last week, so I'll take the hours. It's not like I have much of life outside of work anyway. Anyway, besides tomorrow, we're about 99% sure that we're gonna be working the following two Saturdays as well. That's still cool with me. I don't really have a whole lot planned, except for the M.S.I. concert next Saturday night up at House of Blues. But yeah, the whole money situation is kicking ass right now. All of my bills for April have been paid already. I'm already ahead on a bunch for May, too. Sooo... the rest of my income for this month is all extra. Ya' gotta love that shit. I think I'm on the verge of making a big purchase this summer. I've been paying extra on my car payments in order to try to pay that thing off very soon. I've got a few options for my next 'big' purchase. I'll discuss them shortly, if you're nice.

Fuckin' gas is outrageous! It cost me $30.01 to fill my damn car today. That's insane. And don't you just hate when you go over by a penny?! That drives me nuts! Anyway, I was "lucky enough" (HAHA!) to find gas for a cheap $2.21 a gallon. It's been about $1.30 everywhere else lately. Hey George W.... do something about this expensive gas shit!!! Pump some of Iraq's over here into our pumps. Do something! Anyway, I'm sure it's only get worse as soon as Memorial Day weekend gets here and everyone starts the summer vacations. God bless the U.S. of A.

Baseball started last weekend. The Pirates are off to one hell of a start... zero wins, three losses. Way to go, Bucs! Anyway, I'm sure that they'll eventually win at least ONE game. I just hope it happens before I go see them play Atlanta in June. In college basketball land, North Carolina won the national championship. Good for them. I didn't bother watching this year's game, as I'm not really a UNC or an Illinois fan. The NFL Draft is two weeks away. I always end up spending the entire weekend watching that on ESPN. Yes, I know.... I have no life. Thank you for reminding me.

Music news time!! I don't know if I've mentioned this in a previous entry or not (HAHA!), but this band called Nine Inch Nails... well yeah, they have a new CD coming out on May 3rd called 'With Teeth.' Or, if you prefer the alternate spelling... 'Wif Teef.' Anyway, I've heard through the grapevine that it's halfway-decent, so you might wanna check it out. And if you don't??? I'll personally track you down and shove nine inch nails down your throat! Thank you. :) Mindless Self Indulgence's new CD comes out this Tuesday, too!!! It shall be entitled 'You'll Rebel To Anything.' And, like I said earlier, they'll be playing a late show at House of Blues next Saturday, the 16th. Doors open at 10 pm. This is a bit weird, but Korn frontman Jonathon Davis recently had a wee little one and named it... drumroll please... Pirate. Enough said.

Now back to my possibly-upcoming-one-of-these-days-here-pretty-soon 'BIG' purchase! It appears that my income is now heavily overweighing my expenses. That IS a very good thing and hasn't happened for quite some time. As soon as I hit a certain amount in my checkbook, I'm gonna go after one of the following... a) a new ATV, b) a boat, c) some much-needed musical equipment, or d) an 8-day vacation to Waikiki, Hawaii. Wooohoo!! More on that when the times comes... and it will. It's just a matter of when.

No new news concerning Kera. I was in a smart-ass mood earlier today and ended up hanging up on here when she didn't show much interest in making me a happy Dave. We haven't talked since. I'm sure we'll be fine. I absolutely love the girl to death. But sometimes, it seems as if she just doesn't give a fuck. I'm not gonna let it hold me down though. I've been there before and it's not worth it.

Well, it turned out to be a nice day. With that said, I think I'm gonna go give the Camaro a much-needed bath. I have to be at work at 5:00 am tomorrow morning, which means that my bedtime is pretty early tonight. Yep, my weekend is shot! I was gonna go check out Dry Kill Logic at the Agora tonight, but not anymore. Stupid work. That's it for now. Have a good weekend. If I win the Mega Millions tonight, this may be the last time you hear from me. Muahahahaha! -dT

Woohoo! I'm still alive! Anyway, here I am with yet another fun-filled, action-packed, and star-studded journal entry thingy for the world to enjoy! Let's get this shit started.

Of course, everyone is probably already fully aware that Pope John Paul II passed away yesterday. It was pretty much expected to happen over the next few days due to his declining health, but still came as a shock to many. Anyway, I'm not a Catholic, but I still respect what he stood for and all that he did during his reign as the Pope. He travelled more than any other Pope in history. It's a definite shame that he's no longer a part of this world.

Baseball's regular season kicks off tonight with the heated rivalry between the Red Sox and the Yankees. The majority of the rest of the teams kick off their seasons tomorrow. The Indians open up with a series against the White Sox. The Pirates plays the Brewers. I can't say that I have big hopes for the Pirates this year, but I'm still looking forward to the season to get underway.

The weather here in Ohio is back to its old, crazy self. Four days ago, it was sunny and in the lower 70's. Yesterday, it was in the lower 30's and snowed all day. Now, the temps are nearing 50 again and the wind is strong enough to blow a hole in your head. It's not gonna get any better either. Highs are supposed to get near 70 again by the middle of the week, then drop right back down by the end of the week. Ugh, Ohio weather sucks! Spring is here though and the majority of the snow and cold is behind us. Bring on the warmth!

Kera will be here either Tuesday or Wednesday. She's been stuck down in Alabama, because her bro's going through another treatment and her mommy refuses to give her a ride to the airport until he's out of there, which WILL be here in the next couple days. Our six-month anniversary is coming up really soon and she will be here to celebrate it with me!

There's exactly one month until Nine Inch Nails' new CD, 'With Teeth,' hits stores! You can pre-order it on pretty much any music site now, including Amazon. Like I said in my last entry, I've heard the entire album now. It's absolutely mesmorizing. Buy it!!! NIN will also be releasing a single for 'The Hand That Feeds.' That comes out on April 18th. It's only available in Europe/UK, so you'll have to order it as an import if you want it. I'm guessing that they will be announcing their fall US tour days within the next month or so, too. Yay!

I don't exactly remember what all I've written about over the last week or so. I'm too lazy to go back and read my old entries, too. But, anyway, I recently bought a DVD burner for my computer. It was only $47, too! If you ever need computer upgrades, go to newegg.com. They've got the deals there.! Anyway, I got that and a 50-pack of DVD+Rs. I've already copied three complete movies and it works wonderfully! My computer is now pretty up-to-date finally. It took some time and money, but it was well worth it.

As you can see, I updated the calendar on the side of this page. Dry Kill Logic will be playing at the Agora this upcoming Friday. Tickets for that show are still on sale. Mindless Self Indulgence will be at House of Blues, in support of their upcoming new album, on Saturday, April 16th. That's a late show, as it starts at 10:30 pm. Chimaira will be down at Newport, in Columbus, on the 20th. God Forbid hits up the Agora on the 26th. Machine fucking Head will be headlining at Peabody's on May 12th! That is a huge show and is guaranteed to sell out quick! Tickets are on sale now for dirt cheap! There are still no dates for the Sounds of the Underground tour yet, which features Lamb of God, Chimaira, Clutch, Opeth, and many, many more. Oh well.

WrestleMania 21 is tonight, live from Los Angeles! It's gonna be a huge show and you can check it all out for just $49.95, live on pay-per-view. I'm not into wrestling as much as I used to be, but WrestleMania still gets me excited everytime it comes around each year. WWE definitely does know how to put on one hell of a show.

That's it for today. I'm gonna be lazy for the rest of the day. I had to work six days again this week, including six hours yesterday. Working on Saturdays sucks ass! Today is my lazy day. More possibly later. Adios. -dT

Well, last night has come and gone. I'll try my best to recap all of the happenings from last night. First off, I got to the Odeon a little after 6:30. There was already a decent line formed alongside the building. I quickly took my place and started checking out the scenery. WMMS and WXTM both had tent thingies set up. Both also had their stations playing the whole time. Interesting side note: The entire time I was in line, I didn't hear one single NIN song on either station. Go figure. 92.3 had some interns walking around, talking to people, and handing out groovy little, yellow Xtreme Radio keyrings. Yay. I had three strange people behind me, two girls and one guy. They were talking about stupid shit and trying to act all cool the entire time. At one point, they got their picture taken with the 92.3 interns. Good for them. Anyway, it started to get a little chilly and the breeze off of the river was killer at times. One of the Odeon guys came out a little after 8:00 (when the show was supposed to start) and said that celphones were a no-no, so a bunch of people took them back to their cars or hid them in their socks. I was smart and left mine in the car beforehand. A guy from FYE came out and informed us that the pre-sale was taking place tonight for $15 and you got a limited edition 7" vinyl featuring "The Hand That Feeds" and "Home," a song not on the new album. Oh yeah, there was some bad news. Universal fucked up the printing on the vinyl and Trent refused to release something less than perfect. So, in return, Universal would take our addresses and mail out the vinyls this week. Anyway, two and a half hours later, they finally let us inside at 9:00. There was a big screen set up on the stage that was looping the NIN logo over and over again. I went over to the merch table, entered a contest to win the complete NIN library (which I pretty much already own), and pre-ordered the CD. I headed up towards the stage just as they put the And All That Could Have Been DVD in. They played the first several songs off of that and abruptly stopped it at "Piggy." They then played a very cool, half-hour-long NIN montage, of sorts. It started with "Down In It," went through all of NIN's eras and concluded with the video for "The Hand That Feeds." It was a very cool video package. Anyway, it was then time for the real deal. The record label rep came over the PA and said that it was time for 'With Teeth.' The venue's lighting went into full effect and "All The Love In The World" hit the PA system. I could very easily get into detail about each song, but I'm not gonna. I'm just gonna say that 'With Teeth' is the best damn album I've heard in ten frickin' years! Trent has created a masterpiece and May 3rd can't come soon enough. Every song had its own feel to it. If you've heard "The Hand That Feeds" and weren't a big fan of it, that's all fine and dandy, but you haven't heard anything yet. This CD will pound away at you and it will make you want more! My favorite songs off of it were probably "You Know What You Are?", "Only," and "The Line Begins To Blur." Those three songs just absolutely blew my mind. The entire album blew my mind though! When May 3rd gets here, I demand that you buy this album, because it's a work of art. Anyway, I was pretty damn hyped up during the whole thing. The CD ended with "Right Where It Belongs," which is the only slow song on the CD and is right up there in emotions with "Hurt." Damn, this was such an excellent album. I can't say enough about how I feel about it after finally hearing it in its entirety. But yeah, I got out of the Odeon a little before 11, headed home, and went to bed so I could get up for work at 5 am. Yep, I'm a bit tired today, but it was well worth it! Anyway, that's all I got for now. I'm still fucking psyched about this CD. More later maybe. Bye-bye. -dT

Damn, today is just dragging right along. I woke up extremely tired this morning. On top of that, I was dizzy, for some odd reason, for about four hours this morning, too. Very weird. Anyway, work kinda sucked. We didn't get as much done as we would've liked to. That's typical for my job though. Some shit started breaking down, like usual as well, so we ended up getting sent home at 2:30. That was fine by me. Since I got home, I've been relaxing and preparing for tonight's super-explosive NIN CD listening party at the Odeon! Woohoo! Anyway, I'm dead tired, so this is probably gonna be a long ass night. Oh well, it'll be worth it. Hopefully I don't fall asleep and die on the way home from Cleveland tonight though. Kera probably won't let that happen. Depending on how out of it I am when I get home, I may post another entry. But, if not, then you'll just have to wait for another day. I'm off to play Yahtzee with my Kera bear. Bye-bye, assgoblins. -dT

Oh no, people. I'm in one of my moods where I talk a bunch of shit and nonsense about anything and anyone. So yeah, I see that today is Easter Sunday. It's the day of bunny rabbits, coloured eggs, and a diabetic's worst nightmare.... CANDY!!!! Wooooo!!! Unfortunately, I didn't get shit in the way of Easter candy this year. No Easter basket for Dave in 2005. My mom did buy me a bunch of Cadbury Creme Eggs though. I live for those damn things. Way back in '03, I wasn't exactly home for Easter. My dear Sarah was nice enough to stock up on Creme Eggs for me though, so that I'd have them to enjoy in August when I got home. She was a nice girl. Anyway, I treated myself to an Easter present today. I bought myself a DVD burner finally from the fine folks over at NewEgg.com! It should be here Tuesday or Wednesday, so I can begin backing up all of my stuff on DVDs... a.k.a. illegally copying a bunch of DVD movies! Woohoo! I mean... I'd never do anything like that. I swear... I'm just gonna use it to store stuff on... like MOVIES! Muahahaha! O:-)

Tomorrow is hugely important day, as it is the big Nine Inch Nails 'With Teeth' listening party up in Cleveland. Here's the details, muthafuckas.... NIN 'With Teeth'!!! Come and hear the new album before anyone else! Tomorrow, March 28th, at 8:00 PM at the Odeon, in C-Town. It's all ages and free for everyone. No cell phones or recording devices allowed for obvious reasons. Everyone attending this event will receive a limited edition NIN gift! Also... if you pre-purchase 'With Teeth' at this event, you will receive a limited edition 7" vinyl featuring "The Hand That Feeds" and "Home," a non-album track. "With Teeth' hits stores on May 3rd. This is gonna kick major ass! If you wanna ride up with me, catch me on AIM at prttyH8machine9 and we'll arrange something. I'll probably be leaving around 6, as I imagine there is probably gonna be a massive line to get into the Odeon.

Daddy, when I grow up, I wanna be a topless dancer so I can make lots of cash! -Dope 'Move It'

I was talking to Kera the other night about how contradictory of a person I am. First off, I am a true metalhead at heart. I live for violent, kick-ass music. I love jammin' out on my drums, bass, and keys. I love getting into the pit at concerts. I love pushing people around. I love screaming out the lyrics. I'm a goddamn psycho sometimes. The flip side, though... when most people think of my type, they picture someone with tattoos and piercings; someone that smokes (cigarettes and weed); and quite possibly even a heavy drinker. The catch? That's not me. I have no tattoos, no piercings. I don't smoke or drink, except for on special occassions. I've never touched one single drug in my entire life, a fact that I am most proud of. I have extremely short hair, another partial-oddity for a fan of metal. Even Nick, the dude I work with, has commented on it before. He says I pretty much live the lifestyle, but I just don't show it. That's the way I like it though. I don't need tattoos, piercings, or bad habits to show my lifestyle. Granted, I've thought about getting a tattoo at one point. After serious consideration, though, I decided that I really don't like the idea of having something permanently implanted on my skin. Anyway, a lot of people think that's kinda weird about me. Oh well, I like it. Kera's got tattoos and piercings. I don't know if she'd want me to go into much detail, so I won't. But she has four tattoos. None of them are big at all. I really don't see anything wrong with them. They're still not my style though. I've never really been a big fan of piercings on girls or guys. I think belly button piercings are kinda hot. Other than that and earrings though, I don't care for much else. I can't stand lip or nose piercings, really. It'd be kinda hard to kiss someone with a piece of metal sticking through their lip. And what good is a nose piercing if, say, you've got a cold? Not a good combination there.

Moving right along, I forgot about the fact that Spring began last Sunday. I'm about 98% sure that the snow is gone until next winter. Thank god! The forecast for this week looks absolutely amazing. 73 degrees on Wednesday!! Can you believe that shit?! I can't wait! And it doesn't look like the highs are gonna get below 50, which is a very good thing. I love warm weather and I can't wait for summer to get here! Speaking of summer... mark your damn calendars for July 5th, because the Sounds of the Underground Tour hits Scene Pavilion on that day! Check out this lineup of bands... Lamb of God, Clutch, Chimaira, Opeth, Poison The Well, From Autumn To Ashes, Unearth, Everytime I Die, Norma Jean, Throwdown, High On Fire, Strapping Young Lad, All That Remains, Devil Driver, and much more.... and oh yeah, how about fuckin' Gwar!!! That is one hell of a tour and blows OzzFest away! If that doesn't get your pussy wet, then I don't know what will. Speaking of OzzFest, though, it actually shaped up to be pretty decent this year. Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, ?mystery band? (probably Anthrax), Shadows Fall, and Black Label Society are on the main stage. Rob Zombie, Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Mastodon, The Haunted, A Dozen Furies, In Flames, Arch Enemy, Black Dahlia Murder, Bury Your Dead, It Dies Today, Soilwork, and Trivium lineup the second stage. That tour hits Columbus on August 2nd. Sorry Cleveland, no Blossom show this year. Crazy, huh?

Look at me. I just keep yappin'. Someone needs to shut me up!!!! Kill the fuckin' enemy! Burn! Burn! Burn the motherfucker down!!! Again, a little Dope for ya' there. Well, I'm gonna end this insanity before it gets to late. Just a couple tidbits before I go... I think what's going down in Florida with that Shiavo girl is a tragedy. Her husband is holding back something and it's costing her her life.... My pick to win the NCAA basketball national championship, Arizona, lost last night. Oh well, I'll now be rooting for Louisville.... Did I mention that there's a NIN listening party at The Odeon tomorrow night? Well, there is and you best be there..... I like to research different little facts on the web from time to time. Here's a good one for ya: College student sex statistics. Enjoy and have a happy frickin' Easter!!!...

-68% of college students are NOT virgins.
-Average age of losing their virginity: 18.
-Average number of sex partners: 5.
-52% have had sex in a public place. <- That one amazes me. People are whores.
-82% have given oral sex. 86% have received it. <- Someone's not returning the favor.
-61% have been in long term relationships. <- See my comment two lines up.
-23% have been random hook-ups <- We like to call them one night stands.
-13% have participated in a threesome. 63% of those have been male-female-female.
-94% of the males masturbate. 57% of the females do.
-Guys average 5 times a week. Girls average 3 times a week.
-86% of women either shave or trim. 54% of men do.
-And the fact of the day... 63% of college freshmen are virgins. That percentage drops all the way down to nearly 20% by their junior years. And who said college wasn't a learning experience?

All of those numbers are from an actual sex survey from CampusSexSurvey.com.

Yay, it's Saturday. I am in a total state of depression right now. I'm not 100% sure why, but I am, so I must deal with it. Oh yeah, that's right... I was once told that I'm a manic depressive. Anyway, I've been trying to keep myself entertained and 'happy.' Yesterday, I was off work because of Good Friday. I finally got around to doing my laundry, doing some dishes, and some other household chores. Nick called around noon and said that he was bored out of his mind, so I told him that I'd give him a call later. Around 4:00 or so, I called him up and see if he wanted to go out and about with me. We ended up going up to North Olmsted. Strangely enough, it was the first time he's ever been up there. He doesn't get out as much as me, obviously. Anyway, we went to The Exchange, Guitar Center, and Best Buy. Then, we went down to Medina, ate at Golden Corral, and stopped at another Exchange. I ended up buying eight DVDs to add to my collection. I got Blair Witch Project, Reservoir Dogs, Varsity Blues, Runaway Jury, 50 First Dates, Scarface, Phonebooth, and House on Haunted Hill. I also picked up the debut EP from Error. After all of that, I came home and went to bed, I guess. Then, this morning, I woke up and was grouchy. I recently kinda broke my celphone not too long ago, but I was able to fix it. However, today, I finished it off. Muahahahaha! So yeah, I had to go to the Cingular store and get a new one. I got a Motorola V180. It's a pretty nice phone and will end up being free after I get my rebate check back in the mail. I'm gonna try not to throw this one against the wall. Tehehehe! But yeah, I've been sitting around on my ass all day. My new phone can have MP3 ringtones, so I've been making and sending a couple over to my phone. I got Marilyn Manson's 'The Beautiful People' right now as my general ringtone. Anyway, I watched The Day After Tomorrow. Realllly good movie! Kinda scary, actually. And now, I'm sitting here, drinking an amazingly large, 14 ounce can of Pepsi. Holy hellfire and brimstone! Kera is in Alabama. Rather than getting a ride to the airport today from either her mom or her stepdad, she helped him hang panelling in 'our' apartment that we're gonna be living in come this summer. Yeah. She's not in a big hurry obviously. Oh well, she assures me that she'll be here one of these days. I've been on AIM all damn day and no one has been online. It doesn't help that I only have like two or three people that I actually talk to on there. My life sucks ass. This is why I'm so damn depressed right now. Last night was fun, but it was only temporary. I can't really afford to go out every single night. It'd be nice if I could, though. In the words of Poison, though... life goes on. The rest of today should be boring. I'll probably sit here and watch some more movies, I guess. If anyone is as remotely bored as I am, feel free to catch me on AIM. My thingy is prttyH8machine9. If you play on Yahoo, my screen name there is residue1830. That's all. Happy Easter tomorrow, monkeylickers. -dT

It's Good Friday, also known to me as Blah Friday. The only good thing about today is the fact that it's noon and I'm not at work. Paid holidays are a good thing. Speaking of paid, I got nearly ten hours of overtime last week, so my pay check this week was very, surprisingly nice. It's been so long since I've had a big check like that. Anyway, I was able to pay ahead on most of my bills, so April should be a good month for saving up money! But yeah, to celebrate this lack of work day, I'm gonna sit around, order a pizza, and watch some more March Madness. There ain't shit else to do. In other news, you may have noticed that my journal entries have become less frequent. Why, you ask? Because my life just isn't really all that exciting and I don't feel like being my usual, open self these days. In other words, I don't have anything to say anymore. Oh well. Enjoy the weekend. Happy Easter and all of that stuff. -dT
