Ahh Halloween stuff

John Holmes, meet Gary and Sean and Mathew. Also, John Holmes is seeing Burt Reynolds. FYI, 3 musicians who like drinks at a Halloween party can't be good.

Monday

I start the Police Academy on Monday the 29th. I'm a little nervous because I don't really know what to expect. I'm sure it'll all be fine.

Today was my last day with Impact, whom I've been working for since 1999. It's a really good feeling knowing I won't be working that crappy job anymore. I really wanted to tell my boss to take my job and shove it and not go in to work at all this week, but I know better than to burn bridges at this point in my life. Even if the guy was a prick.

It's also a completely different feeling knowing that I've got to move into the city by the end of January, let alone that I'll be living alone for the first time in my life. I'm actually excited at the prospect of getting my own place, and I've been looking at apartments already. I'm not keen about living alone though.

I'm going up to Truman Saturday with my dad to see Laura and watch the football game, and I'm really happy that I'll get to see her the weekend before I start the academy and then she's coming home the following weekend.

Finally, Go Red Sox! I like the Rockies, but I like the Sox more...and after the way they teed off in game 1 last night, this might be a quick World Series. Tune in tonight for Game 2!


The only thing that cracks me up more that Kevin Millar saying that Kevin Youkilis has a head shaped like a milk-dud is Youkilis and Paplebon dancing like buffoons...

Accepted!

Today I finally got the call I've been waiting for from St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. I've been accepted into the October 29th Police Academy session (as long as I pass the psychological exam.) I don't foresee any problems and I'm completely stoked to finally get some good news on the job front! All that work finally paid off and I'll finally make something of myself. I guess life can change just that fast.

Canceled Shows

Wow, it seems we're starting to cancel shows about as often as we cancel practice. Friday's show at Shattered in Columbia has been canceled due to the venue overbooking. Saturday's show has been canceled because it was rescheduled to a day of prior engagements, but why didn't we know this a month ago when the show was rescheduled? I've been telling people we've got this free show going on this weekend and now I've got to track em all down to say we pulled out.

The only good thing in all this is that my sister is coming home this weekend, so I can hang out with her instead of driving back from Columbia in the middle of the night.
