TGIF/Music rants and raves

Yeah, pretty thrilled that it's Friday. It's been a long week of stupid people getting on my nerves, incompetent bosses, crisis situations (that aren't really a crisis but the boss thinks they are) etc, etc. Monday and Tuesday were really bad. I actually had to step back into the store-room, jump around making irritated faces and generally blow off some steam before I said something that might get me fired. The job may be boring, but it's a paycheck and it's better to have some sort of an income than none.

Should be a fun weekend. Out to the bar tonight to meet a social group (if it sucks at least I'll have a beer in my hand, and if it's fun, I'll be enjoying myself and will have a beer in hand). Possibly meeting up with other friends after this happy hour thing, so that would be good. It'll be good to get out of the house and away from the parents. Not that I don't love them, but so much "quality time" is beginning to make me a basketcase.
Best part of the weekend should be tomorrow night...the My Chemical Romance concert! Woo hoo! I am so excited about it it's kind of pathetic. I hope it's an awesome show. I can't get over how much I like their second album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. I mean, awesome title just to begin with and I think every song is really solid. It isn't one of those albums where you like maybe one or two songs and the rest sucks. I like the whole thing and the more I listen to it the more I like it. I got their first album off of iTunes and I think it has a lot of really good stuff on it too. It's always great to find music that you really love, especially when it can seem like everything 'new' out there is just the same old stuff. I mean, do we really need yet another blonde, teeny-bopper-ish, actor/wanna-be singer putting out a cd? (I'm not going to name names, fill in your own teeny-bopper).

To continue my music rant, I really used to like Coldplay, when they FIRST came out. I'm so sick of them now and that new song "Fix you" (or "Fix Me" whatever the heck it's called) is so bloody annoying. I can't stand it. This is why I hate listening to the radio, you may like a song at first but then it gets so overplayed you end up hating it (and maybe the band itself as well). Ok, I'll get off my soapbox now. I'm just happy to have found some new music I really like and I'll stop before I begin irritating myself by liking a band too much and going on and on.

I think I need to start writing poetry again. I've been thinking about it and feel that it might be another good outlet for some of the stuff I'm feeling and going through right now. I'll have to dig out my old stuff and maybe post a few. I have no delusions, I don't even imagine my stuff being published, but I find it therapeutic to write it, so I guess that's all that matters.

Happy Friday!
Ciao,
Sasha
