Thursday, May 27, 2004 That which does not kill us…
After an evening of NBA & NFL 2K2, Mike and James left my apartment to head to their homes. I got dressed to go out and meet Chairman-Mike, Robin, and others (unknown) at where else? That’s right the Penguin. (Note to Jonny: I did call Crystal and I left a message that I was going out and where) When I arrived Robin sat alone at a table. I sat down and he began to tell me the various stories, which lead to his solitude. I asked him about the two girls in the corner (we both knew them), and he told me gave them the wave and the nod. After enough time I made the move to say hello. Shortly afterwards Robin came over with drinks. A mix of people came and went from our table, but at the end of the night it was the four of us and some guy I wanted to punch (I really don’t have a reason). We closed the place and went back to the girl’s duplex. Another round of drinks there, and before we knew it, it was after 4 AM. Robin and I headed for my place and he crashed on my couch.
The morning came quick (insert joke here (insert joke about “insert joke here”, here)). I got Robin back to his car, then headed for the University. It’s 8:23 AM. I was going to meet my advisor to change my major. I’m sure I made quite and impression.
NOTE: I could graduate in May ‘05, but summer ‘05 seems more likely. However I am gonna submit my application for graduation, for May. I can make the change, if need be, later.
I went back home, showered and dressed for work. I nuked my Chinese food leftovers, poured myself a tall glass of water and watched Dr. Phil. I am at work now, till 9 PM. I wonder if anyone wants to go out tonight?

Me: SHIT!
Stef: What?
Me: I got out of the women’s account, but I did not finish doing what she needed.
Stef: What do you mean?
Me: Was putting these books on hold for this lady and I got rid of her cause she was such a bitch. I had her account up so it would not have been a problem to finish…
Stef: ..unless you got out of her account. What was her name.
Me: I don’t know.
Stef: You were just looking at it.
Me: I was blind with rage. (Stef, laughing at me) I am gonna have to try call her and she already thinks I’m a fuck-up.
Stef: Try to cross-reference her number, and if that doesn’t work try Reference USA.
Me: YEA! Great idea.
Stef: I know.
(I check the cross-reference directory, and Reference USA, no dice)
Me: Fuck, I gotta call her. (dialing) Try not to laugh cause I am gonna be lying my ass off.
(THE PHONE CALL)
Lady: Hello
Me: Hi I was just helping you place some book on hold at the library.
Lady: Yes?
Me: I am sorry to bother you, but could I have you account number again. I was almost done with your request and I got kicked out of the system.
Lady: Oh, well thank you for calling, it’s no problem.
(I get the info I need and hang up)
Me: I wrote down her account number this time.
Stef: And you didn’t sound like a fuck up.
Saturday, May 22, 2004 It’s time for my bank account to take it in the nuts.
Last night I finally turned on the AC in my apartment. I broke down because it was 80 degrees at 10pm. Now I like waking up in a pool of sweat and much as the next guy, but I have had my fill of that the past few mornings.
NOTE: I heard from Mike and Christine yesterday. They are back home and had a great time on their cruise. Mike was quick to remind me that they are still on their honeymoon till Monday, and that he would tell me all about the trip then. That is his nice way of saying, we’re home, safe, but not done makin with the luuuv, so piss off.

I need to go out drinkin tonight.
Saturday, May 08, 2004 I’d appreciated if you would back da hell out my face about dat
I was in a wedding a few weeks ago and it was very nice, however some of the out of town guest could not stop talking trash about Charlotte. Now these people live in bigger cities and there is more to do and see because of that. But why they gotta crap on my town? I don’t consider myself a native, but I have lived here for 14 years.
The big “problem” most people have said, is the lack of culture. Now the fact there has only been one lesbian queer-core band to visit this year is not enough to make that statement valid. And the other thing people say is that there is nothing to do. To that I retort, last weekend there was the Taste of Charlotte festival, the Gays were out parading and getting civil unions, and the Christians were out protesting the Gays. How much more do you people want? Ok, fine. This weekend there is CityFest Live, and well ok that’s it. But it lasts all weekend. And in June, Skid Row is coming to town.
There are 8 museums, one of them is made of wax, I think. There is one artsy movie theater, how many of those do you need? The fact is that there is really nothing wrong with this town the people that were visiting just had to pump up there own egos by crapping on my town.
Me: We can go to VisArt and get a video.
Visitor: Dude, the VisArt here SUCKS. The one in Chapel Hill is so much better.
THAT GUY HAD NOT LIVED IN CHAPEL HILL FOR LIKE 3 YEARS!
