Oh my god. Quit trying to ruin something good for me - something that could make me soooo happy and change me. I haven't been in the best spirts lately, but then I have a possible reason to change that and make me totally happy. You are so freaking crazy and annoying sometimes. Everyone can see it, and its embarressing you and you don't even know it!
GROW THE FUCK UP. Also, Really? Really? Are you honestly this immature?

This has been the most amazing weekend. Like...ever. I'll do a vague report of it later.
The thought of working from 4AM-12PM is going to fuck with my Christmas.

THANK YOU. I don' care how much you like the Ramones, its fucking true. They were good yes, but they were a one trick pony. Every song is the fucking same idea to a different beat and rythem.
You guys get sort of unfairly lumped in with all the 77 punk groups. Were you into them or part of a different scene?
Colin Newman: We preferred the American groups like Patti Smith, and the Ramones. The Ramones were basically just a concept, heavy bubblegum. They should have just made one album and left.

ALSO, I will be doing a MT/MOUNT SIMS CD LISTENING PARTY EVENTUALLY. STAY TUNED.

Okay, fuck this. So today at work was the general array of crap that neither me nor Kayla needed. We arrive as usual, after I pick her up due to her car being broke'd, and meet up with Val who is her usual cheerful morning self with only good things to say about us. Ugh. She makes us tear down a wall of clothes and put it back up in 20 minutes because when this head honcho visual comes in she'll expect us to have it done in 15 minutes and what not. Thats fantastic....but ridiculous expectations. Apparently this girl, Mocca (you know she nicknamed herself after watching way too much Americas Next Top Model and figuring she was too fat to do anything productive herself, so she'll nazi stomp teenage clothing stores) has made people cry before because shes so demanding of visuals. She asked someone before "why are you even a visual?" if she askes me that I'll straight up say "because I was told i'd be an assistant manager and somehow that mysteriously fell thru, so you get back with ME.". I don't mind what I do, I just find the unnessisary bullshit that Val feeds me and critiques us on to be wrong. Everyone in the store can see my distaste for her. And I go out of my way to play around with her and not take myself seriously and enjoy myself. Which I can see she thoroughly can't fucking stand. Thats right, I get my work done AND enjoy myself, my associates and customers. Sod off.
Val supposedly asked Gina if I was elligable for a raise because I make only EIGHT DOLLARS/8.00 an hour, and visuals START OFF making NINE/9.00 an hour. Apparently I need to WAIT SIX fucking months to get a raise. Okay, if I am a visual in 6 months, something is pretty fucking wrong, and I will NOT remain a visual for 8 dollars. I am (un)officially looking for a possible new job. How does H&M pay? I don't care if I am full time, no one can fucking live on 8 dollars an hour. I am not in high school, I am in the real fucking world in a bad economy. I am not playing fashionista, I am doing my damn hardest. If Gina thinks "so highly of you (me)" then why fuck me over? Prove you think highly of me, pay me more. I mean, you can't even give me FIFTY CENTS MORE?
I really need a good break from this. And this weekend will be it. I am sooo anxious for it. I can't wait to do a mini road trip and pick Angela up from Toledo. Google maps has the option of seeing the turns and streets and its adorable. Reminds me of like Northville and such. Easy drive, less than a hour. Then i'll spend the whole day having a BLAST. Ahhhh! I can't wait to meet her! I hope she has a fun time. We're going to take a ton of pictures to narrate the day and our adventures. Heres to a good time! I am borrowing a bit of money from my mom (who offered, of course) for the weekend. She was really nice to offer, considering I am dead broke right now. Also Angela is helping pay for a lot, which is so sweet and considerate of her. :) I will definitely repay her and when I visit her neck of the woods soon after will do my share of making it rain.
Or snow more like it.
I feel winter. I feel it touch me and never call me back.

Dude, work was sooo fucking stressful today. Gina, the DM will be in our store tomorrow, so she better approach me and either (preferably the second)
1. Talk to me about the raise Val asked her about for me.
2. Talk to me about being an assistant manager at Fairlane. I need money and power, bitches.
I also found out my old manager, Jordan, hired me based on wanting to plow my tender behind today. I am flattered and pissed at the same time. My company is fucked up. Failever 21, amirite?
I am sooo excited for Saturday. Oh my god, its soon!
Anyways, going to bed soon, I need to get up super duper pooper early tomorrow morning. Nighty nite.

DUDE, The next couple of weeks are going to be filled with soooo much shit going down. I am so excited/nervous/hopeful/anxious/worried/happy.
I am like a big box of feelin's. Howdyado!
Also, I hope work is fine tomorrow. I had a very relaxed weekend, despite missing the Legendary Pink Dots show (don't one of you douches mention it to me, I know it was great) that I can say I enjoyed. I was offered the position as assistant manager by Kelly in Dearborn. This, of course, means nothing unless Gina approves of it, which she bettr, or else i'll be seriously pissed. Its not that I don't like being viusal, I mean, its fine, I don't love it or hate it, its the epitome of "Its a job", but the benefits of being an assist in Dearborn are far greater.
*Better pay!
*Closer!
*I like Fairlane Mall better than 12 Oaks
*I like the clientel more in Dearborn
*More opportunities and responsibilites which I think I am ready for
*Cheaper relocation benefits (Detroit, Dearborn, Redford, Livonia, Allen Park, etc)
Please, don't fuck me over Gina, I'd love this.

Okay, first off, thanks for being soooo considerate to my situation. I mean, its not like i'd expect you to be concerned, worried, or you know...care about how shitty of hole I am in. It always surprises me how apathetic you are. It must be nice not to worry about anything at all.
Work and this week in general went by soo fast. I am so happy and can't believe its over already. It seems like Tuesday was just yesterday. I'm not entirely pleased with my check because of missing a week of work. 264 dollars...how nice. That'll last nicely. It has to anyways, I am seeing Angela on the 1st of November. Perhaps it'll all come together nicely. I can't wait to hang out with her. It'll be fun to show her a great time in Detroit, Ferndale and Royal Oak. Show her all of my favourite cities and places in MI. I really am holding out to go to Ferndale record hunting until she arrives. Also i'm looking forward to introducing her to Alex. He'll like her, so it'll be fun. We'll all have fun. :) I countdown the days.
Today at work was pretty fun actually. Val was gone, so the relief of having someone hovering over me critiquing my work was not a problme. Me and Kayla still got a lot of work done, and finished our sections and stocked. I met this super adorable and neat girl, Sam, who has a fantastic taste in music and books. She loves William S Burroughs, Beat poets, and pretty good bands like Interpol, Joy Division, ADULT, Klaxons (okay, some good bands). haha. ALSO, I met our new stock guy, Travis. Hes very cool, post-punk guy, really into Animal Collective and electro. Reeks of patchouli oil, but a down dude. We talked of going to the CAID sometime for a show. I see us becoming good friends, I hope.
Tomorrow Elizabeth is having her Halloween party. Hopefully its cool, it generally is. It'll fun to catch up on old friends from High school and just relax a bit. Take my mind off of problems and worries. Like it matters though, amirite?

I am going to review a slew of the record stores i've been visted and rare my experience and their selection.

Let us begin.

DEARBORN:

CLAWSON:
Flipside Records
BEVERLY HILLS:
Street Corner Music

Okay, aside from Rock-A-billys in Utica, those are all of the local record shops I've been to. Some are fantastic, some really are forgettable, some aren't listed because they are long gone (Hot Hits, Record Time Ferndale, Dearborn Music Canton, School Kids) and of course the mysterious Cousins Vinyl which I guess might open soon.
Before I review, whats YOUR opinion? Also, did I miss any ones? I try and stay on top of EVERY record store in my area.

So I get a phone call while my phone is charging on the table (about our pet water bowl...) and it vibrates right off of the table, and into the bowl of water. Its gone, dead, and totally fucked up. So all of my pictures, ringtones, contacts, everything - gone.
I need everyone to send their phone numbers to me again. I guess I start back to work tomorrow with no phone, therefore no watch, and no way to get ahold of anyone if I get into an accident or anything. Great.
Fuck this shit.

Now that I am feeling a lot better, despite having missed two days off work, I can now update this thing with current events.
So the Martial Canterel concert was splendid. The CAID is such a neat place, always amazes me how that little hub for culture sits on the epicentre of the Detroit Riots. Me and Elizabeth arrived to find a the whole Wierd records crew there. I met DJ Pieter, who is the owner of Wierd Records, what a nice guy. We chatted a bit about Belleville/Detroit techno, Blacklist, and coldwave. Also I bought a copy of Xeno and Oaklanders CD as well as Refudge Underneath by Martial Canterel. If I had a shit ton of money i'd have gotten the whole Wierd collection. The four album complilations...ooh one day! Too bad they are an arm and a leg.
The first band, Demons was a really neat live electronics band from Detroit thats on Wierd. I am usually not much for live electronics on album, but...erm, live it was pretty neat to see. Next up was Red Rot which was kind of a half assed militant Throbbing Gristle type deal. Following was Bad Party who were absolutely terrible! Shitty experimental punk whos lead singer was the biggest dick. Bad Party is right. Up next was Hive Mind who we went outside for. It sounded like the CAID was getting its carpet cleaned from the outside. Lame.
Next was Martial Canterel who was a visual and auditory orgasm of minimal-wave. He worked so diligently with the synths and mixing boards, it was a great sight to watch. All together his set seemed very short, but maybe its because it was just so wonderful that it left you wanting more.
Despite a lot of sub par opening bands, the best part of the night was Pieter's DJing. Coldwave, minimal-wave, dark wave, etc. So many obscure things i'd never thought i'd hear in Detroit. I even requested The Cabinet by DAS KABINETTE which was played shortly after. Also hearing The Condos by IRON CURTAIN and Calling (MK II) by DEATH IN JUNE. Mmmm. I really wish I got to talk to all of the people dancing up a storm throughout the night. They seemed really neat.
The following night I got to catch F'ke Blood and Benny Stoofy at Smalls. I was hoping to meet Sara there, however she didn't make it. So I went solo. It was kind of lame, but Benny Stoofy was great live. I really really respect them as musicians, they always seem to put on a great show. All of their songs played at Smalls were insturmentals though, which was kind of disappointing. But still, they are so talented. F'ke Blood was fantastic. Dion has great stage presence, very enthused, and funny. Steve, the singer, is super flamboyant and fun as well. Also the red head in the band is super adorable. Mmm. hehehe.
So then I wake up the next day with the terrible upper respitory infection that I have now. Its getting better, but ugh...I go back tomorrow though. Thankfully.
This Friday I am going to catch 800beloved/Deastro/School of Seven Bells. Who wants to go with me?

Points for the day.
1. I am soooo god damn sick. I have an upper respitory infection and is gone into my chest due to asthma. Unfortunately I had to take today off of work, as well as tomorrow too as requested by my allergist. I feel absolutely terrible. But a lot better now that I am drugged up and coughing everything up. MMM, KISS MEH.
2. Steampunk is so fucking retarded. I mean, lol, wtf?
