Death sucks... Once again that fact was reinterated to me... But at the same time I realized (again) how tight a family the Texas music scene is... Theres a tragedy and they band together... (unintentional play on words there.) Someone has an accident and people get together to have a benefit so they're bills can get paid... But they celebrate like its going out of style for the happy times too... A baby's birth, a wedding, and holidays even... (3 words: Randy, Wade and Halloween too too funny that was... Big N Rich... I've never laughed so hard when they walked on stage together for the first time... :) ) So a Creager's road manager, Kirby died... I didn't ever know him but I've literally heard so much about him and how great he was I almost feel as though I did... Which may explain why all I want to do is burst into tears when I think about him and his passing... And how it could easily have been anyone I DO know and care about... Took everything in me not to call all my friends and make sure everyone was ok... I did make a couple of calls just to some people I know that knew him to make sure they were doing ok... though there was one i wanted to make and never did... i should have.... They are, but they're understandable down about a good friend dying young like that, I think it made a lot of em realize how short life can be and it kinda scared em to face their own mortality that way... I can't count the times I heard the phrase "it could have been me..." and all I can say as selfish as it may sound is that I'm glad it wasn't.... Not that I'm glad anyone died... cuz lord knows I'm not... I'm sad for his family and friends and band mates, death is harsh and its a shame that the good die young...
ok on to other not so deep stuff.... I don't want to go to work my last 2 days.... Its like I've handed in my resignation, signed the paperwork, and have a new job lined up to start Tuesday... So whats my motivation to go my last 2 days? Not the money thats for damn sure... and after tonight that'll be my last paycheck till they mail me my last check whenever they get around to doing that and my new job I dont get a pay check for like another 2 weeks... So it looks like Ali will have to budget well for the next 2 weeks... ugh... and with 2 trips coming up too... thats gonna suck.
Went to the movies with Sean... saw the new star wars... laughed most of the 1st hour... texted people like crazy the 2nd and kept asking if it was over yet in the last half hour.... and somewhere in there I started singing I did it all for the wookie... irritated the crap out of sean.... it was greatness... I'm either gonna go see lords of dogtown with him or danny.... or he and laurie and danny and i could double... ooo I dont think I've ever double dated before, esp not with an ex and a potential.... should be interesting to say the least.... hehehehe.....
I'm gettin really excited about the camping trip... Nicoles comin over about 9 or so Saturday morning and we're gonna head out to NB... shes gonna float... I'm not. and then I come back Monday in time for a shower and Bleu Edmondson at the sidecar... I hope I can talk a certain somebody into goin with me and camping with us this weekend... shouldnt be a problem... i dont think... thats bout it... laters.
