Hearing: "Gone Til November" Wyclef Jean

"Dude, it's not tomorrow until 5 am! THOSE ARE THE RULES I HAVE ESTABLISHED!" - Giahni in response to me saying I'll be going to the zoo today

Sixty five year old fathers that want to yell at me for calling their thirty year old son that still lives at home about a credit card really, really need to get a grip on fucking reality. Needless to say, I had no sales today but it's okay because in the first week, you don't get paid for sales anyway. This sucks because I made two yesterday and if I had been getting paid, I would've made an extra thirty three dollars in addition to my base rate. To be honest, after they told me I didn't get paid for sales, I haven't really been trying anyway. Now come Tuesday, you can bet your ass I'll be out there pitching those 6.9% fixed rate APR Visa credit cards. Plus starting that same day, if I get a customer to do a balance transfer in addition to a sale, I can make twenty one bucks on one call alone. Mad, mad money.

Speaking of mad money, I need to talk to the landlord about the fact that he said he'd pay the first month's utlities and yet a balance is showing on both the electric and gas bill. I've called his cell repeatedly but he doesn't seem to be interested in talking to me. I'm almost 99% sure he'll be here on the first looking for the rent so I guess I'll talk to him then.

Not real sure why I felt inclined to update, there really isn't anything to talk about. I have no clue what I'm going to make for dinner "tomorrow" and I really, really, really want to see "The Day After Tomorrow". I mean, really, really, really, really, really badly. I wish Karen was coming up this weekend because then I could make her go take her with me. I am a really bad person to take to the movies because I hate movie theatre popcorn. I miss the days when they sold Junior Mints because even though I hate 99.9% of all things chocolate-mint, I adore those things.

Since I have nothing else to write about, here's one of those damn meme's that no one will probably do. The object of the, uh, game is to guess the lyrics. Enjoy.

1. Maybe I ain't used to maybes, smashing in a cold room, cutting my hands up everytime I touch you, maybe it's time to wave goodbye now.

2. Ruled by passion and pride, to pain and fear, he's no stranger, but his lust needs to be satisifed.

3. No one heard your screams when you were nine, when bad dreams filled your summertime.

4. Come into this night, here we'll be gone, so far away from our weak and crumbling lives, come into this night when days are done, lost and astray in what's vanished from your eyes.

5. How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say, oh would you like to marry me?

6. I think that I could help her out but the girl's got a lot to be mad about.

7. I don't know what to do with my head and all the things that live inside.

8. Show me that love is worth the wait, tell me I'm right, give me your love, don't hesitate.

9. If I could bottle my hopes in a store-bought scent, they'd be nutmeg peach and they'd pay the rent.

10. And every word is nonsense but I understand it all and, oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing.

11. Cause there's another chance and a someday soon, shining like the Alabama moon, she's looking for her promised land, out beyond the lights of Birmingham.

12. I'd marry you but I'm so unwell.

13. I have an uncle, he's a dirty old man, I grew up with a bad cliche.

14. But she’s grown up on the outside with an instinct for the pain that drives the men inside her wild and women wanting her insane.

15. Feels so good but damn it makes me hurt and I'm too scared to know to how I feel about you now.

16. If you think of me, if you miss me once in awhile, then I'll return to you, I'll return and fill that space in your heart, remembering your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace.

17. Who cares what I might be for real, underneath my games, I’ll let you chose from a thousand faces and a thousand names.

18. I know I'm caught up in the middle, I cry just a little when I think of letting go.

19. It's not fair to deny me of the cross that I bear that you gave to me.

20. But he washed me ashore and took my pearl and left an empty shell of me.
