Tonight, Tonight

Its been too long... I haven't made an entry here in quite a long time, lol. The main reason for this is that we haven't had the internet for almost 2 months. But I'm still alive...still kicking. A ton of shit has happened since whatever date my last entry was, and I won't even try to cover all the bases.

I got a new job...at Kysor Panel Systems. Its in the Piney Flats Industrial Park, and about 5 minutes from my house. I've been there for almost 2 months now. I do a bunch of different stuff--they move me around alot--but all of involves making panels for custom built walk-in freezers/coolers in some way. The hours are long, the work is hard, and I have to be up at the buttcrack of dawn...but I make the best money I ever have ($400 this week), and almost enjoy the work. It sure beats the hell out of retail hell anyway. Or talking to mentally ill people on the phone all day.

Me and Erin have been together for over 4 months =). I'm at her apartment right now, actually, typing this. Because SHE has the internets. She's started back to school and also has a new job at Citi. That combined with my crazy work hours has resulted in alot less time together, which sucks. But...we'll make it <3.

I'm using my newfound source of substantial income to get alot of loose ends tied up, and get my life in some sort of direction.

I'm planning on moving out of "the house" after Christmas sometime. I'm making Preperations now... I've told only Erin and Jeremy so far. Oh, and Will too, I think lol. I'm the one who asked Jeremy to move into the house, and he only stays there because of me, I believe. If I left he would most certainly not want to stay, so I've agreed to take him with me wherever I go. He's the only person in the house that's not an issue anyhow.

Wes is moving somewhere near Richmond, VA. This sucks incredibly bad. I don't think it has really hit me yet. Since graduating, I've seen my circle of friends continue to dwindle...its quite depressing to be honest. That said, I'm getting the net back next week and a cell phone in a couple of months, so I'm going to do my best to make myself more accessible to everyone and to start hanging out with people on a more regular basis. Tomorrow night, we're having a Halo/LAN party thing as kind of a going-away thing for him. Wes, Will, Matt and Garrett should all be there, so I'm more than excited to hang out with everyone. Wes will still be online, and will still come down to visit everyone, so its not like I won't see him again. I'm still sad to see him go. Could be worse. He could be moving to...I don't know...Maine or something.

Lol, I've already typed more than I intended to, and still haven't scratched the surface. It's 10:30 and Erin will be home from work soon, so I need to hop in the shower and go ahead and put her pot pie I got for her in the oven. I rented some movies (Mimic, M:I-2, Solaris, Bowling for Columbine and Unbreakable) so I suppose we'll watch one of those =). She has to leave in the morning to go visit her family in Chatanooga. I was orginally going to go, but I had to work Saturday. But now, I don't (she doesn't know this yet, they just told us today). But I'm still going to stick around here so I can go to the aforementioned get-together tomorrow night. But I'm definately torn... I went last time, and will definately go next time, if I'm able. I like Chatanooga. Its a nice city, and brings back alot of middle-school memories. But that's another entry unto itself.

And that's it.


Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel

Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe that life can change
That you’re not stuck in vain
We’re not the same, we’re different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight

And you know you’re never sure
But you’re sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born

Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe in the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there’s not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight

We’ll crucify the insincere tonight
We’ll make things right, we’ll feel it all tonight
We’ll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight
