So I had a second job for about 5 minutes and now its gone. So back to square one there. But I’m foolishly optimistic. You see, I’ve taken my financial future out of the Bank’s hands and into my own.
I’m making a lot less these days, but my expenses have also gone way down. So why am I broke all the time? Because my bank is trigger happy with the “Monthly Maintenance Fees,” and the over-draft fees, and the breathing fees… That’s right! They charge you for being a human-being and breathing!
So I’ve taken the Bank out of the equation. Closed my accounts, cancelled my direct deposit, cut up my debit and credit cards… Lets see them charge me for breathing now! I’m gonna save up money for a car if it kills me!
In the interest of keeping myself sane through these troubled times, I’ve turned to some friends for some new music. Here’s a few I suggest when feeling down:
NIRVANA
MTV Presents UNPLUGGED In New York
In my opinion, this record was Nirvana’s greatest achievement. Cobain’s unique grunge vocals lent themselves perfectly to the slower acoustic versions of his songs. He sounded even better than on his full records. Also, his unexpected choice in cover songs gives you an interesting look inside Kurt’s head. Every song on this record is great and worth a listen. So tell me,… where did you sleep last night?
KINGS OF LEON
Aha Shake Heartbreak
With a strange but beautiful sound, this band won me over instantly. This album has rockin’ jams, slow ballads, and wierd cookiness throughout. I saw them perform on the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien recently and they’ve got impressive stage presence. Check them out if they ever come to your town.
ARCADE FIRE
Funeral
You know that super cool song that plays during the trailer to “Where the Wild Things Are”? Meet Arcade Fire. They’re rock, they’re orchestral, they’re moody, they’re dark, they’re glorious. Pick this album up soon. You’ll love it! And its short, so they don’t over-do it.
While we’re on the subject… How kick ass does Where the Wild Things Are look?!
Finally, I’d just like to share that I am 100% ready to seek out my future wife. I’m there. So once my transportation situation is fixed, I’ll get myself a good job, finally head into Valencia for a few courses, and go girl hunting on a regular basis. She’s out there…
