Today I went and looked at a little apartment/unit in Santa Rosa. I was pretty excited by the thought that this could be my new place. It's a one bedroom off Slater Rd. in downtown. Excitement quickly turned into anxiety because the sheer cost of living on my own is overwhelming. I figure it's not impossible and moving out is something I really want to do so I'll make it work and it will be good.
The place is really small, which is to be expected. The kitchen is really small. That was kind of a bummer but overall the place isn't bad. I'm going to apply just to see if they'll consider me. Having almost non-existent credit and no tenant history isn't going to help but we'll see.
A year ago I said I hope to be moved out by Aug. 2010. I can't believe that's almost a reality?!
Time to go to sleep so I can start another busy day...

I Really Should Be Doing Other Things....
...but I'm addicted to music. No seriously, I think I may have a problem!
Here are some great odds & ends to keep you entertained.
The hesitation and subtleties are what make this song so brilliant in my book
I can't say enough about how excited I am for this new record
Really enjoying these guys this last week.
I need to see these guys live again, and I new their album when it comes out
I need to add at least one chick to the mix. Amazing voice
I could sit here and do this all night but I need to pack for camping this weekend.
Until next time ;)

Sunday Night Boredom
First of all it's August and I'm freaking out a little bit. Does anyone know where summer went?
Moving on since I don't really have any choice in the matter anyways...
Babysitting tonight is not going well. Travis was overly tired at 5pm which wasn't good because his bedtime is 8pm. He ended up falling asleep around 6pm until he got woken up by Dillon. He woke up in the worst mood. After lots of tears and restlessness I tried to put him to bed but he would doze off then wake up screaming. It took an hour but he fell asleep for a while. He woke up again but fell asleep pretty quickly and that was 45 min ago so cross your fingers for me. My dad just brought me an ice cream sandwich to cheer me up, THANKS DAD!
Tomorrow starts a full work week but I get paid so that will be nice. I'm going to try and become a Notary. It will help us not loose business at work. It's a six hour class then I take the test. I then have to get fingerprinted, bonded and buy some gear. Kind of a big responsibility and I think some people will be weird about my age but whatever.
Outside Lands Festival was this weekend. It's the first one that I wasn't all bummed about missing. Probably because I got to see Dawes at a pre-festival event. They preformed at the CA Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. It was pretty great (except for the enormous line to get in)! Small crowd at the stage and they did a few new songs that are pretty amazing. They are so fun to watch and Taylor Goldsmith is easy on the eyes. I think they are coming back at the end of November! My friends bailed out on me again but I lucked out and Ashley wanted to come with me. She is nice to have around most of the time. I was pretty pissed but I won't go into that drama...won't make a difference now.
Speaking of drama, I got to see Mike Alix yesterday! It's been over a year since I last saw that guy. Seems like things are going fairly well for him although coming home is hard to do in more ways than one. We met up at his friends house (and after getting shoved into the garage door by a couple of stupid drunk people, which left an enormous bruise on my arm) his friends' girlfriend starting bitching out Christina. It's was totally out of the blue but that's what angry drunk people do. Apparently there is a tiny bit of hostility between the two that I knew nothing about... needless to say our visit got cut way short and now he is home in Florida. I wouldn't mind seeing Christina again soon though.
Camping to look forward to this coming weekend. Also, my dad knows a guy who owns a couple of units off Occidental Rd in Santa Rosa. Only $650 for a studio so I'm going to try and take a peek at that tomorrow. Oy vey, I'm tired, which is dumb because I did nothing today. Time for bed, goodnight!
Here is some good music to check out:
