N-life

I leave the apartment around 8:15 am and come back around 7:30, so my free time is suddenly something I need to meter out very carefully. I want to feel like I'm still growing outside of work, not just watching tivo and drinking. That is why I'm not gonna buy a tivo. I think I'll take some courses at SMC just for the hell of it next semester. French probably. I'm also interested to get back into recording music. I've been writing again. I'm running into the same problems though. I come up with a couple bits and lyrics that I like, maybe a verse and a chorus or a chorus and a bridge, but then I can't seem to finish. I'm not happy with the parts I try to write to finish the song. I think it is a problem of not playing enough, not playing enough of other people's songs. So I'm playing again. I play with Chris's band about 1x/week and I've been playing after work until Samurai Jack comes on. I watched Zoolander again and loved it. It's so funny when his friends go get orange mocha frappacchinos then die! I caught a little Howard Stern this morning, his wildly sonorous voice was fuzzing in and out while I winded through Malibu Canyon. He was playing clips from last night's debate, which I didn't get to see since I was at work. Howard seemed awfully biased toward Arnold, which suprised me. But then I learned he had Arnold on his show. Stern makes his listeners, and himself I imagine, believe he is just totally real and straight when he talks, but his shit is just a show too, and he has to jerk certain people off to get by just like every other douche on the radio. Which is fine, but since he has mixed up so his person and his persona, he is probably kinda miserable. Or not. All yall should AIM me, my id is BOKONONJOE. I have it on most of the time I'm at work. If you want to use another service I can work on that, let me know.
