SIGN OF THE TIMES At the beginning of summer, the Uptown Cafeteria & Support Group opened in Calhoun Square. This shiny new restaurant is brought to MPLS courtesy of the same machine behind Burger Jones, Chino Latino, and Il Gatto, Parasole Restaurant Holdings. The restaurant’s about page says there’s no gimmick, theme, or concept: “Cafeteria [...]
Last week I scheduled an audition with a production company for a film. The audition was immediately following my Best Buy audition, which may have explained my hurried look. At any rate, I left the Best Buy audition with thirty minutes to get to the other side of northeast for the film audition. I arrived [...]
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
( * = This post will likely create more frustrations than sharing may be worth (like this post), but I’d like to reiterate a telephone conversation I had moment’s ago.) GIRLWhatever. J/k. MEWhat!? Did you just say “j/k?” GIRLYeah? So? MEWhat the fuck?! What would possess you to say… You’re talking to me, you’re not [...]
Let’s face it America, it’s trendy to be unemployed. Today I spent over $290, but saved $50 by presenting all my coupons. A woman in line said she admired me for my efforts! I have a fridge and freezer full of food and I’m comforted in the most astounding way. My nerves are settled by [...]
Note to self… Never attend an open casting call ever again. While the thought of being “discovered” is not one that will ever go away, standing in line between a six year-old and a mother obviously forcing her child to audition is not worth my time or energy. Any audition worth my time will require [...]
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!? Really! Him? I hate my intuition. With you it’s never been wrong. Except once.
The man that rear-ended me on Friday gave me a check yesterday. Immediately after receiving the check, I went to TCF to cash the check. Unfortunately, the man that rear-ended me didn’t have the required funds to cover the $571 check. Today, I went back to TCF. The teller tried to remain pleasant as she [...]
Nope, I’m not feelin’ it. Not good. Right now, not so good. I feel nuts. Crazy, nuts. Just overall, extremely saddened by my present and my choices. Frustration abounds! The rehearsal tonight was 50/50 good. Our tech is driving me nuts. Seriously. I’m not an expert. I’m not even a technician anymore, but every missed [...]
(Hello Dear Readers! If you’re sick of reading about the US Flag, don’t read this post. Flag etiquette is clearly on my mind, so here’s my rant… Thank you, Michael James.) On Saturday evening I had a date. My date and I decided to walk through Lakewood Cemetery. It’s something we’d never done and something [...]
When I was 16, I stole a van with my 14-year-old girlfriend, Alyssa. She turned to me for help and at the time, stealing a vehicle and traveling across America seemed like the right course of action. We were later arrested and went to jail. Alyssa and I have remained friends since our adventure, keeping [...]
Again, I’m trying to write, but my words are being blocked. I don’t like that one bit. Alright, let’s just write through it. Free word associate, getting the words onto the ‘page’ with a blatant disregard to whats cooth or correct…blah blah blah…this will be a pointless post. This will be a post for me [...]
Today I need to go X-max shopping. There’s one problem though; I don’t want to. I’m naked on the couch watching it snow. It’s snowing a lot. A whole lot. My plan was to leave the house before most people would be out of church, but now it’s nearly four o’clock. I don’t want to [...]
I refer to Christmas as X-Max. “Spend to the X-max…!” I feel kinda jaded about X-max. Growing up, my parents were great. They treated me like every great parent treats their first-born. When I was younger, Christmas was a big deal. Now, it’s a whole different animal. I’m not waking up at 6AM to see [...]
This morning the fire alarm went off at work. Correction: On the floor I work on, the alarm wasn’t going off — but the emergency strobe lights were flashing. At this point in my day, I had been up maybe an hour and at work maybe ten minutes. I put my jacket back on, grabbed [...]
Technically, I’m supposed to be studying the articles I printed for my research paper, but I can’t focus. This isn’t entirely my fault. I place a majority of my lack of focus on my neighbor. I really don’t like studying. There’s too many reasons not to. My apartment is messy. My work space is too [...]
I skipped class tonight. I’m essentially done with that class. I’ll hand in my research paper at the beginning of December and be done with it all. (For those of you that are interested, I’m writing about “the social problem political correctness.” If you have any thoughts/resources you’d like to share, I’m very interested…) There [...]
So I’m running. Running on empty. Busy. Always busy. Always moving. And I’m getting tired. Run-down. Running on empty. I emailed Katherine this morning that I felt depressed. Or that I’m suffering from depression. Who knows. I’d like to write about that possibility, but I don’t have the time to do that right now. Tonight [...]
I’m many things with myself right now. For instance, I’m proud of myself for not smoking this evening. Reason? After the Monday Night Comedy Show, I got into an argument with someone I should not have argued with. The argument prompted my hands to start shaking. The argument prompted every instinct in my body to [...]
