Jukebox: Rolling Stones - "Can't You Hear Me Knocking"

So last Thursday, the original Delfonics guys were at my work talking to Cornelius, who is our juicer and musician. He's played music with tons of people, and a lot of musicians all over the world know him. They told Cornelius that they were going to come back on Friday and perform. He didn't think they would. That night, they were hanging around in the cafe and one of the guys was freestyling-singing along, with his falsetto voice, to the songs on the sound system of the cafe. It was dice.

On Friday they came and performed. There were three of them and they had a boombox playing the music. One of the other guys had a keyboard and played the piano parts. The two other guys had this microphone thing. It was big, echoey, golden, and had a built in amp. They played, pretty much the greatest hits. They played three sets and the fourth one was actually them just sitting in the corner hanging out with some other guys. Like the local hand-drumming on the corner guy.

Day off number one yesterday was stupid. I had an excrutiating tooth pain that made me call the dentist and set an appointment, even though it would've cost me tons, since I'm not insured. I also don't have money or a credit card, so I couldn't just do that and they don't finance. There's a place online you can try and get financed, but I have bad credit so that helped not a bit.

Jeanne came home and found a dental place that caters to low-income/non-insured people. I was going to set an appointment up but they were closed by that time. I ended up making a tincture of tea tree oil and water and rinsed out my mouth with that and it's completely gone now. I have this tea tree oil book and it's helped out tremendously with everything. I'm a big fan of the oil. It seriously is a first aid kit in a bottle. I'm pretty sure if your arm gets amputated, you can rub some on and it'll grow back.

Happy Earth Day?

So Earth Day in Boulder was a happening event. Most dumb, but some really beneficial stuff. One being the Naropa bike guys who were tuning up bikes for a donation to the Co-op. Speaking of, on an earlier blog, I mentioned that Naropa was that Jack Kerouac school. I was wrong. It seemed like it, but it's not. There is a separate Jack Kerouac School for Writing, or something like that. I got my bike checked and trued, so now I can ride my road bike. Super stoked, especially since I wanted to take it to a bike shop and wait, possibly, five days to get it taken care of at probably $50 or so. I paid only $10. Super dice!

I had to be at work at 7am today, but since it was Earth Day, I knew it'd be busy so I decided to come in at 6:30am. I forced myself to go to sleep at 12:20am. I woke up at 4:30am and couldn't get back to bed, so I decided to go to work early and arrived there, freezing cold, at 6am. I got off at 4pm, because of how busy it was.

420, dude!!

Past all that commercialistic holiday shit like Valentine's Day or Christmas, I would rather sit through any number of those celebrations rather than one day of 420. This stupid fucking day kills me to no end. Being who I am, also, if I were a pot-smoker, this would be the most pot-free day in my life.

Being in Boulder, the place where it's legal to carry an ounce of weed on you and, probably, two out of three people are pot-smokers, you can imagine what kind of horrible day I've had.

Here are some comments I've heard today:

"Dude, I thought you'd be down by now."

"Are you off today? How come you're not stoned?"

"Almost everyone I see on the street is wearing sunglasses."

And the likes.

My roommate and I didn't even go to Symposium tonight because of the whole 420 deal. Fuck this all. Everyone should die!!!!!

Wha?

I totally forgot I had a blog.

So anyway, tomorrow is a big day. I get paid and none of that needs to go to rent. So I'm riding my bike to work to pick up my check, cash it, take my bike to the bike shop to get fixed, and buy groceries. Come home and re-start Netflix. Go to the YMCA and get memberships. Pay cell phone bill and part of utilities still paying off in LA, which totals to about a little over $1,000.

Silver was at a high last week and my boss cashed in the silver dollars that we had in the tip jar and got $11 each.

It's very cold here today.

Lot of movies recently. Here's what I thought:

the Weather Man - I'm the hugest Nicolas Cage anti-fan. I hate this man with a passion. I did, however, like this movie enough to watch it twice and recommend it to several people.

Lord of War - I'm the hugest Nicolas... Another great movie. It's very intense and awesome except when he's trying to date that model. That whole scene was stupid. Along with the emergency landing and the planning stopping inches from an infant who was sitting in the middle of a road. Also, the second disc says there's this documentary about the arms industry. I got excited and watch it. It's five minutes. There is a thing on the second disc with guns in the trades and they have profiles on them, which is sort of dumb.

Chronicles of Narnia - Stupid.

Memoirs of a Geisha - Round II of this movie still made me think it was just as dumb as the first round. First round was fun, because my sister-in-law Angela, her frind Cathy and Cathy's husband Kevin and Cathy's sister were watching it very intently. Joe, Chad, and I were in the back laughing and making jokes the entire time. All I know is, on the hottest day, if I were starving and had no money and someone bought me a snowcone, I wouldn't devote my life to have sex with that person.

Capote - Phillip Seymour Hoffman. What more do you need for a great movie?

Good Night and Good Luck - Good movie, but way short and not as exciting as I was expecting. The extra where they talk to actual workers that worked with Edward Murrow was better, I thought.

I'm outs. I'll be on later, I think.

Blog-face

So our computer here was on the fritz, but it seems to be going a lot better now.
