Nothing puts me in a great mood like a Ramones record. I consider myself to be fairly positive and content with my life, but from time to time really get under my skin. Last Friday I had customer blow up at me when I gave them an answer they didn’t want me to hear. In my defence I was merely the messenger in this case, but I don’t think I was mentally prepared for his attack. So I absorbed it and absolutely crushed any energy I had that day. Five minutes ago I found myself with nothing to do but not quite tired enough to sleep, so I started thinking and came to Friday’s little incident and the associated despair’ Five minutes into ‘Pleasant Dreams’ and I’m feeling exponentially better. I should hang out at depression clinics and hand out copies of ‘Rocket To Russia.’

I’m determined to make the most of my Sunday. I’m going to force myself not to sleep in so I have lots of time to bike / record shop / buy comics etc. Last week was fairly pleasant but Friday really messed me up. I need tomorrow to unwind and clear my head.

Not to let one bad day sour my ambitions, but I’m really getting into the mindset that I don’t want to do this as a career. As a work term it’s a fantastic experience, but Joey said it best… (all eyes look to article title quote).

If I had the energy to write something political, insightful or artistic I’d surely try. Please forgive the emotional blather.
