so loud music is really cool, ok?

Yeah. Music is better loud. Unless it's poorly mixed and it gets painful. That's a different story. Ok, on to the real story.

So like a week ago or something [I can't remember the day], my hard drive's bearing seized up. Fun, huh? You know what that means? Every picture I've ever taken, every mp3 I've ever ripped from my cds, made with one of my bands, or illegally downloaded, every downloaded movie, every downloaded tv show, everything all of my bands ever did is all gone. 100GB worth. You have any idea how much stuff that is? It's alot. Lemme put it into perspective. That's 128 cd's full. Not audio cd's, data cd's. That's a lot. So, every trace of my picturetaking career, all of my bands, and my obsession with the Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, and good movies is all gone. It sucks. Had me bummed for like a week, cause it was my fault. I neglected to put the side on my computator. Yep. I'm still not happy, but I put the drive back into its orginal packaging, cause I found out that I can get all that data back. Sounds good, huh? Yeah, slight catch. 600-3000$ of a catch. Consequently, it's gonna stay in that original packaging until I'm unpoor. [aka quite a while] But that's ok, cause I can get them back. On to gooder news.

I got a job. A real job. Who'da thunk it?! Yep. I make caramel and dip apples in it at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in downtown Naperville. Also candy apples. I've never a candy apple. I do know that the stuff you dip apples in to make them is reallyfreakinghot. 300 degrees. That's really hot. Plus, when it splashes, it's really hard to get of your skin. Not fun. Oh! and I make fudge too. That's also hot. So it caramel. But it's ok. I get paid real money, and real money equals new car for dave in the nearer future. And recovered data. All good. Now all I gotta do is work my butt off to make money, just like the rest of you guys. Cool, huh?

Ok, another idea. Ethan was talking about hanging out in the woods and it gave me an idea. [by the way, read E's post beneath this one] I think we should get some jr high guys together and bring them out to my aunt's house for an overnighter. See, out in unincorporated Elwood, there is no law. How can that not be bad? It'd be sweet. I still gotta plan stuff and talk to Luke and Matt. But this should be cool. The offer is also open to jr high girl leaders for a different night, or they could stay on a different part of the property, if that ends up being ok with the parents and such. We might wanna get some real adults involved in this if the plan gets bigger tho. In any case, I think it'd be a blast. Tell me whatcha think. Till I actually have something else interesting to say, go do something creative.
