Yes, I can do that.

Hello my friends and readers! It's been quiet around here so I figured I'd try to make a little noise and blog something. I know, it's been a while. I've been stopping in at times but have been super busy being unemployed! Yay! I quit my job a couple of weeks ago and have been on the hunt. It's tough out there because companies want you to apply "online" and that sucks. You don't know if anyone has even looked at your resume and they don't respond. Either I suck and my felony is getting in the way or my unbelievable greatness outshines the owners of the companies and they fear a non-dangerous take-over. So I saw this job listing on Craigslist.
Mechanic Needed
Must be able to work in high-stress situations
Experience in robotics a plus
Email resume. No Phone calls please. Salary DOE
Wookies need not apply
Hmmm... I thought. This could be interesting! I emailed my resume and received a response almost immediately! An interview was scheduled through email with a picture attached.
Wow! Could it be!?! YES! I had an interview to be the mechanic for the Falcon! Too Cool! I was so nervous but rushed in for my interview with none other than...
Things were going well but I started really getting annoyed. He kept calling me "kid"
"She's the fastest ship in the fleet Kid"
"Do you think you can handle her Kid"
Kid, Kid, Kid. I was getting pissed! Then he started talking parsecs and I was completely lost! Then some voice in my head from nowhere started saying "you don't want this job, move along" which I figured out after I left was that stupid jedi mind trick!
Oh well. I'll keep looking. Something will come along. Until then, I just realized I have entirely waaay too much time on my hands because I just wrote a really dorky blog about being employed in the land of Star Wars. Whoa. and if you have made it this far you also have way too much time to waste so leave me a comment! HA!
My motion for Work Release has been granted! I am allowed out Mon-Sat 6am-9pm! No more daily fees. No one watching me. Now only 4 months of this stupid crap left. WOOHOO!
I have lost my saturdays out for work. Because the rules state that DUI people can only be allowed out 5 days per week. I am still waiting for the results of the motion I filed. I'm trying to get out 7 days per week. If this does not happen. If this motion gets denied. I am going to be the cause of the biggest media shit-storm Phoenix and their corrupt judicial system has ever seen. I am done being Mr. Nice guy about this stuff. I will no longer sit around and take this crap. This punishment does not fit the crime. I met a guy in there that was caught with 300 pounds of marijuana. His punishment was 12 months. Another guy, was caught with 2 kilos of cocaine, guns, and scales. His punishment was 6 months. And another guy (this is really good) was high on heroin, cocaine, and marijuana. He passed out at the wheel. Rear-ended a car, sent that car into the back of another car, causing a broken ankle to one of the passengers of those cars. You know what his punishment was.......8 days. 8 fucking days.
I think I'll stick to the untitled stuff. Thats how uncreative I feel. Thanks for reading and sorry I didn't reply to comments on my last blog. I have no energy. It took so much of me to get through last year, now I'm tapped. I don't know where to search inside myself for more. I just am tired of trying to keep my head up. I just don't care anymore. I wander through my day like a zombie. I swore to myself that I wouldn't let this whole experience sour me. But it has. I feel totally screwed over. My poor attitude is showing up at work. I shouldn't even be at this stupid brainless job right now. I can't stand it and have no choice. It's too difficult to try to switch jobs. I've just had it. I can't sleep so I read a lot. This is the book I just burned through in like two days. Its written by the guy that wrote Fight Club. Chuck Palahniuk.
Its about a guy that has taken hostage of a plane. He has let everyone off and made the pilot take back off. When they get to a safe altitude he makes the pilot set the auto-pilot then parachute out. While he is waiting for the plane to run out of fuel and crash he is telling his life story into the 'Black Box'. Good book.
Just laying there. I finally fall asleep. New guy in the bunk next to me. Startled, I wake from my light slumber. Five guys have started beating on the new guy. They drag him out and continue the beat down with a padlock in a sock. All I can do is lay there and not get involved. Not my business. Glad the five guys found the bunk they were suppose to. Apparently the new guy was a snitch. Don't know for sure but it's not my problem. This stuff is what makes me realize where I am still. Five months more...... again.
So, at 12:01 a.m. just as Friday the 13th began, I was supposed to be released. I was waiting as calmly as I could, thinking about how my summer would be. The guard came into my tent, counted heads, then didn't take me away like he was supposed to. I asked why and he said I wasn't on the print-out to be released. Weird, because I should have been. He said to check with him at 6 a.m. maybe I'll be pulled then. So now I need to scramble and try to call Tammy to tell her NOT to drive over at 3 a.m. to get me because I hadn't been released. I think I managed about 2 hours of sleep. Went up to the office and begged someone to look in the computer and see what is going on. "you aren't being released till December 13th" "Today starts your 6 month sentence for the DUI charge"
My jaw hit the floor.
The two charges were supposed to be running concurrent. On July 19th 2007, without my knowledge, my sentence was amended. I am now to serve the two charges consecutive. So now I will be doing 6 more months for the DUI charge. Being released on December 13th 2008.
It would have been nice if someone told me this back in July 2007.
OH! A free ticket to a concert! hmm...

Ok, so I'm searching for good seats for the Stone Temple Pilots show on craigslist. Here is a disturbing, but funny ad that I found. Ladies, I think you'll like!
I live in the Phoenix area, attending the STP show in Tucson. I have 2 pretty good tickets. I am married and was going to go alone (wife doesn't like big crowds). However, I would still like the company of a female for the show.
If you are female and *really* want to see STP but maybe didn't get a ticket, here's your chance. I'll be driving down from Phoenix the afternoon/evening of the show. I can pick you up anywhere along the way, so long as its not TOO out of the way. Please send a pic if you have one (or more).
I am not asking for any money specifically for the ticket, just basically the usual drill: gas, grass or ass. No pressure, your choice. You won't be brow-beaten into anything. Also, I don't care if you are attached to anyone or not. This is a perfect chance for you to get away from them for a night to go to a show with a friend.
This is intended to be a one-off deal, unless of course you rock my world and/or I rock yours! :) Also, if you choose the "ass" option, I just might be inclined to provide for other stuff (drinks, shirts, etc). Just a thought. Even if you choose a "non-ass" option, I hope you don't mind if I occasionally put my arm around you or hold your hand during the show. Sorry, I just want someone to enjoy the show with. Sue me.
I know, I'm a pig ... even though the wife has a heart problem limiting her "abilities". Whatever. Try walking a mile in my shoes.
A little about me: I'm a completely disease-free professional MWM, 43, 5' 11", 230, not ugly or too fat. I am actually a consummate gentleman, which you'll find out if you give me a chance. If it matters, I am very clean, "fixed" (vasectomy), and not "small".
Look forward to hearing from you! You won't regret it, I promise.
Dude, seriously. Does anyone even say "gas, grass, or ass" anymore!?! LMAO!
Thats it! I’m Done! well....almost.

I have paid the jail, in full, for my stay. 10 bucks a day times 366 days (yes 366 days. stupid fuckin leap year) I have spent my last full sunday in there (Yesterday, HOT and miserable with a migrane most of the night) so now I wait....Midnight. Thursday. They will kick me out. It's like the last week of high school. You can't wait to run out and know that you'll never be back. Yay!
Yep. 24 left. There is the count, now let's move on. New Music! Found this band on my new, favorite, listen to music free website. It's slacker.com and don't pay for a membership. Just listen to any genre of music. Each one has it's own station. You can also create a station for free. Put all the bands you like on the station and that is all it will play! It's pretty damn cool. Now the band. Enjoy the video below :) WHAT MADE MILWAUKEE FAMOUS
Google is pretty cool! This is as close as you can get without actually driving into the parking lot! I wanted to snap some pics of the inside but I'm not risking sneaking in a camera. 30 days left my friends and readers! I am getting very excited!
bummed
Friday the 13th sucks.
