Do what you love and fuck the rest

Yesterday a had a really horrible day and part of it was my job at a bakery. The only reason that I have continued to work in the food industry is that it was the only place I had experience in. But this year, that changes. I won't go into detail, but let's just say that one of the owners called me up screaming at me and insulting me. That was the final straw and I decided that I couldn't take this abuse anymore so I rationally told her that I don't appreciate the way that she treats me as well as everybody else. She continued to defend herself, but really there was nothing she could say to convince me that she did anything right so I told her that I was giving her my two weeks. I thought this would happen in an angry way, but honestly I am so happy to know that I will be out of there soon. My advice to everybody is never to do anything just for the money if you absolutely hate it. There is no point in being miserable for money. There is always a way out of it. There's so much out there for me, so many opportunities and this was not one of them. Onwards to better things!

Best Apartment Show Ever (featuring Coyote Campus + Rotten Jazz Quartet)

March 28th was my 21st birthday. I take my birthdays very seriously (or shall I say excitedly and not-seriously because I like to have fun)! This year I knew that I had to do something great. In the end, I went to a bar at midnight and didn't do much the day of my actual date of birth besides take a midterm and go to class. But I am completely satisfied because I had the best birthday party celebration I could ever ask for 4 days before on Saturday night. For the longest time I have wanted to have a show in my living room and at the beginning of the semester I made the decision that I was going to make it happen. Fortunately enough for me there are some amazing bands at this school, in fact one of them is in my top 5 favorite bands. And I was lucky enough to get them to play in my living room for my early birthday party.

So a few years down the road when you're asking me "hey have you heard of those amazing new bands that just got big, Rotten Jazz Quartet and Coyote Campus", my answer will be "yes, they played in my living room for my 21st birthday". 

To everybody that came out and danced, sang, moshed, drank and made my floor almost cave in, I LOVE YOU ALL. Let's do it again soon!
