I love roller coasters!

Today the coaster i've ridden the most times of any had a collision between 2 trains! Glad i wasn't on it.

Also.... in lookin for news about the story, i learned that my favorite coaster of all time (Drachen Fire at Busch Gardens in VA) is being torn down :(

2:07 pm - chillin like a villain
man, what a day yesterday, I met blues traveler and Shawn colvin.... she was a last minute addition to the show.
But yesterday was all about Blues Traveler : I've never heard em live before, and they FUCKING RIP IT UP! They played Bob Marley's "no woman no cry" and Charlie Daniels Band's "Devil Went Down To Georgia" (complete with fiddle part played on harmonica) The guys in the band are pretty chill, I bought a CD and had them all sign it. John Popper lost like 200 lbs too, he's lookin real healthy.

Oh well, think I'm off to work on my bug today

Peace out ya'll

current mood: pleased
current music: Ani Difranco - Napoleon (live)

10:01 pm - oh my oh my
Well, recent turn of events in my VW world.
Yesterday Steve came over to help me jack up the bus and take the wheels off. Once we got the wheels off we looked at the brakes and suspension and stuff and determined I would need a significant amount of money to get her on the road.
Sooooo.
It came down to 2 options..... save up cash to buy another bus in better condition..... or use the money I was gonna put into the bus into getting my bug back on the road.
I chose the bug, OKEEPA, who was my first car and I have a strong emotional attachment to. She doesn't need much cash to get on the road, and I can use the engine from the bus.
Yeah, I'm bummed that my bus plans went awry, but it has made do something else that I really want to do.

:)

Peace

9:39 am - you say i'm wrong, that i can't see what lies ahead of me, but i am strong
hey everyone.
been a long time since i posted here...My old computer crashed and i'm temporarily using my mom's computer until the CPU for my new computer arrives. They sent me the rest of it, but for some reason it has taken them almost 2 months to send me the damn chip! oh well.
Seems like i've kinda been in this funk lately. Prints Plus is screwing me around big time. They keep sending me down to Salem and Portsmouth and shit and i still haven't seen one fucking cent of the mileage that i was promised.... BEFORE CHRISTMAS. i applied for a new full time job yesterday and it's lookin good, so Jimmy (district manager for my PP stores) and all his corporate dicklickers can go fuck themselves.

Oh well, sorry for all the hostility. Just been kinda stressed out lately. I just don't see why i should spend most of money on gas to get to work, doesn't make much sense.

Also been in this total creative hole lately. I keep thinkin of stuff to write, but when i get the pen to the paper, nothing comes out.
And lately it seems like a lot of my friends are either mad at me (only one for sure i know is mad at me) or think that i don't like em anymore. If you are one of these people, I STILL LOVE YOU ALL! I just got a lotta shit in my life i need to get worked out, and i've just been kinda stressed and kinda depressed.... i hope ya understand.

anyhoo... i signed up to take the GED on march 12th and 13th, bout time eh?

alright, guess that's enuf bitchin for now

peace and love to everyone out there.

Keith

PS- why every time i hang out with a girl i like, do i tend to make a complete ass of myself?

current mood: rejected
current music: Space Antelope tape from 1982

11:42 am - long long time.... I'm gone but I'm here all over again....
well, it has been a while since i posted here.
Lota of strange stuff has happened to me since my last post.
Met a girl.... her name is Nikki. Met her cuz she works at the mall. She's a cool hippy girl who works at the Body Shop and on this little cart that sells incense. Started talkin to her cuz she was wearing a patchy skirt one day. turns out she had just got back from Phish tour and then SCI tour. I've been spending a lot of time with her and i can honestly say that I've never met a girl more perfect for me. The thing is, we're both at a point in our life where we're confuse as to what we want, so we're just taking it easy, cuddling, and just making sure neither of us gets hurt. We haven't even really kissed yet :)
anyway....
work has been FUCKIN CRAZY!!!! I'm so sick of Christmas, workin too many hours at the mall. They sent me to Salem to work 11 hours yesterday and I'm goin back to work 9 today. There's this cool girl who works at the Salem store named Jada.... think she likes me. But it doesn't really matter cuz she's moving to Wyoming in a week, and i got Nikki anyway. But may hang out with Jada tonight after work.
Oh yeah, my friend Kate told me last night that girls like me cuz i have Charisma.
Girls like me? What the hell is Charisma exactly? never really knew the meaning of the word, lol....

Oh well, hope you all have a good holiday,
Peace,
Keith

3:17 pm - Umm.... yeah
well, here i am on my day off, bored as hell because the last weekend was crazy. Dave, Gendron, Blastoff, and John were all home from school. We went partyin at John's sister's place Thursday and Friday. John smoked pot!!! We have been tryin to talk him into it for 2 years, then 3 months after we give up he does it. Strange how things work. Dave and I also went to a show on Saturday. Mori Styles and Percy Hill. It had been a long long time since I've seen Percy (I've seen them over 35 times, kinda lost count after that). Met this really cute little dreaddie girl there. We exchanged numbers and i gave her my e-mail. When i got back to my car i realized i lost her number! DOH! She said that she'll e-mail me, so i hope she does.
Oh well, trying to motivate myself now to do the things i need to do.

Peace

12:59 am - arrrgh
That's it. My days of being nice to Nigel are over. Here is someone that i considered one of my best friends. But he hasn't had anything nice to say to me in the past 3 months. I'm sick and tired of it. It sucks especially now because he is my boss (has been for about 2 weeks now). He thinks he is the greatest person in the world and it finds hurting people fun.
Other than that, i don't know what the hell is going on in my life.... I'm so confused.
