Birthdays, Amy Winehouse, Norway, and Dustin

Well, yesterday was Alison Krauss' 40th birthday and Neil Perry's (of The Band Perry) as well. Amy Winehouse died, and while I was never fond of her music, I do hope she has found peace at last. There was a terrible bombing in Norway and so many innocent lives were taken senselessly. It's so sickening. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who lost their lives and those left to carry on.

In uplifting news, Dustin and I are together now, and Richard (the singer in a band called OTE) has heard my demos and wants to record with me. It was scheduled for today, but seeinf as I am extremely tired and can't really afford the gas money right now, we've rescheduled it until next Sunday. I have another date with Dustin next Saturday, and I'll get paid from Subway, so things won't be quite as tight financially.As of right now, I have about $50 to my name. All because I had to pay my parents $260 for various things. Life is like a vaccum at times. It sucks.

Being poor sucks

So. I went to the bank today and checked my balance. -$55.00. All because I had to give my parents $260. That, sombined with the $60 a week for gas money, drained my account. So, after putting my check from Subway in the bank and applying my overdraft charges, I have $87 to last me the next two weeks. On a brighter note, I got the job at GSI. My last day at Subway is the 26th. Praise God!

Losing respect for some, gaining it for others

For those of you living in America, you've probably heard by now the verdict of the Casey Anthony murder trial. For those of you abroad, or those Americans who simply don't know about the case, I'll explain. This will be long, so if you stick with me, I thank you. If you know the details of the trial, feel free to skim. Of course, you can skim everything if you want. How am I going to know? Anyway, on with the trial.

This is two-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony, killed circa June 16, 2008.

The Casey Anthony trial (officially titled the State of Florida v. Casey Marie Anthony, 48-2008-CF-015606-O) was a criminal trial held in Orlando, Florida from May 9 to July 5, 2011 in the state's Ninth Judicial Circuit Court involving the death of two year old Caylee Marie Anthony. Caylee's mother, Casey Marie Anthony, was arrested on July 16, 2008 and indicted on charges of first degree murder on October 14, 2008. On April 13, 2009, prosecutors announced they would seek the death penalty.Anthony maintained that she was innocent and that the child died accidentally by drowning in the family swimming pool.

On July 5, 2011, Casey Anthony was found not guilty of first degree murder, aggravated manslaughter of a child, and aggravated child abuse. She was found guilty of four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer. On July 7, 2011, she was sentenced to one year in jail and $1,000 in fines for each count. With credit for time served and good behavior, her release date was set for July 17, 2011.

Job Interview

Well, if all goes well today, I will be leaving Subway. I have a job interview at GSI Commerce (the last place I worked), but this is a full-time position instead of just a seasonal position. If I get the job, I'll be working with my mother and a lot of my old friends. Sadly, Jonathen won't be there (I don't think), so it will be kind of bittersweet. However, it pays $9.25/hr. which beats $7.25/hr any day. If I get this job, I can be in Tennessee by the end of the year if I want. I've already decided that I'll wait until after Christmas though. I want to spend that with my family before I leave. Wish me luck!

Only 10 days until TBP concert, and 7 days until the last Harry Potter film is released. What will I do once there is no more HP to look forward to? The DVD release, of course. Also, the release of Breaking Dawn, Part 1 in November.

Again, if you're interested

Well, I've been busy lately, and for 51 hours of work, my paycheck this week amounted to a lousy $297.53. Fucking pathetic. The bank teller looked at my check like she thought it was a joke or something. Anyway, I've written a new song titled Don't Believe and I'll post it for anyone that is interested in reading it.

You’ve never had to struggle
With the things that I’ve found hard
You’ve never had to search
To find the light in the dark

Your eyes are captivating
But I don’t think you see
You’ll never understand
This isn’t how it was to be

I don’t believe in you
I don’t believe in anything you say
I don’t believe in you
But I believe you’ll knock down any in your way

I don’t believe in you
I don’t believe in what you said we would be
I don’t believe in you
And I know you don’t believe in me

You’re not good for me
But I didn’t listen when my mind said to run
I’m not good for you
We drag each other down and what we had is done

I’m breaking down
Falling apart slowly
You don’t even notice my pain
Not everything comes to you so easily
