Today, at work, Shawn and I decided to make a visit to the Cambie, so to make a long story short I just got paid $130 to drink my face off for 8 hours.

Good times :P

A Day In The Life Of....

2008-05-16T10:47:26Z

Haven't made a real post in a while, so for those of you who care to read I'll sum this up so its fort and sweet.

I got a new job doing construction at the new Canada Place they're building. It's alright, good pay and I have an awsome shift of working from 2:30 til 10:00 everyday. Too top it all off, I'm working with Shawn and my job is to be his right hand man, so it's all in good fun. I'm going to be doing this just until when school starts up again, sometime in Septemeber, where I'll continue with my studies at BCIT taking Radio Progarmming and Media Communications. I've been playing lots and lots of guitar lately and think I have taught myself quite nicely how to write a song, I've got a notebook full of lyrics I've written to most things I play and they seem to be getting darker and deeper into the style I'm attempting to portray. I leave for Winnipeg on June 4 and am thinking it'd be fun to save up and go on a cruise at the end of summer, but right now its only a thought. I'm hoping to get tickets to go see Eric's Trip and if all goes well, on July 2 I'll be at the Cindi Lauper and B-52's show....Fuck yeah!
WHat else??
Happy belated Birthday, Julie....if your free on Monday maybe I take you out for a peace of Birthday cake, but you must call and leave a message to let me know.

Th-th-th-that's all folks!!!

If I may And if I might Lie me down, weeping. If I say what it's like I might be dreaming. If I may...What is right? Some make time to see me heal
His tears in his bonnet. The face from his pocket. The chains from a blown life from dreams

If I may And if I might Wake me up See me. If I do and if I lie Find me out See me.
If I may Cold as ice I might not see me heal.

The rays in his socket. The face from this moment. The chains from the socket I've been weak.

Wish me good. And wish me night Find me now Season
Their way Just be quiet Finally dreaming. Yellow whale
And if I sigh Shake me out Teeming
If I may If I might Got a gun to bleed me

The rays in his pocket The rays from this moment. The chains from his armor
Am I deep?

If Kurt Cobain were alive, today would have been his 41 Birthday. It makes me look back at say, Butch Vig and Sonic Youth, and am confused about their existence in the alternative rock universe. There's not much else I can remember, except that for me, Sonic Youth's role as loudmouths/fans made almost as big an impact on me as their own music. If it weren't for Sonic Youth, I'd never have heard of Eric's Trip, Julie Doiron, Shotgun and Jaybird, Rick White, Moldy Peaches or countless others. Atleast not until they were already broken up or had already done their best work. Then again, if it weren't for NIRVANA, I never would've heard of SOnic Youth, and I'm not thanking the Bongos for anything. Atleast not today.

Nostalgia really sucks, but Pacer do a pretty good version of "I Love Her All The Time'

It's been a while...

Long time....no post....
Here's a quick update!

- I lost my phone in a cab one drunken Sunday morning, and have yet to get a new one. I was once impossible to get a hold of, but now there's no chance in hell of getting a hold of me. Sorry to the few people out there that this affects...(especially YOU Julie Cakes!!!!)

- I got an A on my final project last semester. I had to do a 15 minute radio show. 5 news stories, a commentary (on internet downloads) a review (of the WEEN show) and an interview (In which I got interviewed for my experiences in being in a DIY band) it felt good. Never got a real A before.

- Got a CT scan on Wednesday. WHatever...they'll figure out whats wrong with me someday. First it was the liver, then the spleen, now maybe the kidneys...fuck it, who cares.

- Oh, and a saw an fucking rad movie called Been A Son. A documentary that was completely narrated by Kurt Cobain. Oh Well, Whatever, Nevermind!

I'm listening to Nathan, drinking at Shawn's and enjoying a mellow Friday. Being mellow is such a satisfaction!!
School's going well....I'm taking Radio Broadcasting and Media Communications at BCIT. Very interesting program, very hands on and I seem to be doing good so far. My grades are in the low-to mid 80%. Not bad for 5 years off school where nothing was done but partying.
Not much else is going on, not much else to say. People are free to think what they want, sadly most people only think what they want to believe. make sence??
Oh well, whatever, nevermind.
Oh yeah....

I'M GOING TO WEEN BITCHES!!!!

Hey Peeps!!! Whats cookin?!?!
I'm sure you all remembered to forget so I'm tellin ya now this weekend I'll be celebrating my 24th Dannual Birthday! Since I seem to hate the world and the people in it (with the exception of most of you) more and more every year I don't really plan on doing too much to celebrate.
Friday night I'll probly go down to Sugar Daddy's, located on Davie street, for drinks and food.
Saturday will be Sin City. I expect that you'll come down and buy your favorite bartender a Birthday shot of Jager.
And Sunday I'll be having a hangover breakfast (location unknown) followed by more beer and good times.
I expect to see everyone at one point of time or another and since I don't have a phone I know you will all just flood me with comments and/or emails (mr.dmckim@hotmail.com) and make plans to celebrate my life with me one way or another.
More cheers, more beers!

Watch me rise
As we all come down
Watch me sink
We begin to drown
Take my hand
And let go of me
Watch me break
Into one peice

Don't be forgotten
Your pain inside my body
Don't look back now
Portrait of a time of mourning
A silent story
Betrayed while you embrace me
Left all alone now
In the crowed where your standing tonight

Another untold story
That we know so well
Another tragic ending
To a twisted tale
Take me down as we fall
Feel it sink in too
Rise above the dark cloud
As the rain burns into you

Don't be forgotten
Your pain inside my body
Don't look back now
Portrait of a time of mourning
A silent story
Betrayed while you embrace me
Left all alone now
In the crowed where your standing tonight

Well, since I haven't made a post in a while, it seems like I should have a lot to say...we'll see how this goes.
My weekend was crazy...CRAZY, and I'm feeling some bad effects from it now. I got an early start and a late finish to all my partying on the weekend which made it seem fun and care free at times. However, when I wasn't partying I was still having to work, pack and move which wore me out quite a fair bit. The move went smoother then planned considering I was sleep deprived, HARDLY finished all my packing and hadn't even seen the place I was moving into until I brought my first round of belongings there. The apartment now looks like a disaster zone cause I've been working all week and am either feeling sick, or still hung over, from my weekend activitiesm so when I get home I just crash. If I didn't have so many hands helping me out, I don't know what I would have done.
With that being said, I should be all settled in by Friday evening so if anyone wants to get ahold of me over the weekend and stop by with house warming gifts they can feel free to do so. I accept home cooked meals, fresh baking, beer, other assorted party favors, things to put on my wall, decorations, or anything that would be useful to my Super Nintendo.
Hopefully I'll here back from some of you....

Ugh, I felt SO hungover when I woke-up this morning it was rediculous. It was a good hockey game though, so after a refrershing shower, a brief listening to Nirvana, a few quick smokes and a helluva lot of coffee and water it all felt worth while.
In good news
I will no longer be homeless at the end of this month as I have found a place to nest off Commercial Dr. Which takes a huge weight off my shoulders. Now I have a huge amount of packing to do before Sunday and I have to rent a truck or a van of sorts to get my belongings from point A to point B and by this time next week I should be all settled. I would like to have some sort of house warming for myself once I'm all moved in, but I probly won't get anything organized to do so, so I'll just put an open invitation out.
Anyone who wants to come over next weekend to greet me in my new place, who is willing to bring some sort of gift, or baking or home cooking can feel free to do so.
I would post more, but I'm too bust being Gangsta.

take THAT '88 draft!!!!

For those of you who don't watch hockey...
You can now call me Mrs. Linden (insert joke here)

Uugh!! What a shitty time of year. Somehow over the last three weeks I've managed to get insanely sick twice. The kind of sick where you just do nothing but lie in bed and sleep for days cause even the simple task of getting up to get yourself some juice makes you so tired you pass out for three hours. I've missed so much work now because of it which makes my paycheuqes even more useless than what I'm used to and to top it all off....
I have to move in like a week and a half and I have not found a place to live yet. Being so sick has kept me from looking at so many places cause I wasn't able to move out of bed. Also, with the expensses of moving, having to pay for (damage deposit, 1 months rent and a Van rental) all in one day is going to be extremely difficult and tight considering I've only worked 8 days this month.
Bollocks!
On the bright side....when I finally do feel better, and I've found a place to live, I have 50 litres of ice cold STELLA waitin for me....Mmmmm, mmmmm!!!!!

I'm not one who listens into other peoples conversations, and I'm never one to really talk about business that isn't mine however.....I was having a smoke outside the front door of the Red Room last night and directly beside me some asshole was talking about how stressed out he was because he was getting charged for raping some girl. He then went on to say that if a girls too past out to say no then there isn't any wrong doing with his actions. I think that's one of the most disgusting thing's I've ever heard anyone say and it makes me feel guilty and ashamed to have to classify myself as a male. What an asshole.

Well, the Easter season is upon us and you know what that means. It wasn't until April 8 that his body was found (conveniently this year, it lands right on Easter Sunday) But it was 13 years ago today that Kurt Cobain locked himself up in the green house above his garage, shot up on a lethal dose of heroin and eventually went on to put a 12 gauge shotgun to his face.
We'll remember Kurt Cobain for what he was, caring, generous and sweet. Let's keep his music with us, we'll always have it....forever. Kurt Cobain had an ethic towards his music that was rooted in the punk rock way of thinking. No band is special, no player royalty. If you've got heart and a lot of soul, just bang something out and mean it. You're the superstar! Playing and creating something that is uniquely and universally yours....music.
Fuck this Good Friday, Easter Sunday bullshit, its like a rock n' roll fucking messiah man. Oh well....whatever....nevermind!!!

Peace. Love. Empathy.
