This is the first time I've gotten a paycheck and not had to put any of it onto a bill. I'm going to have to put some aside for a wedding suit rental and $50 went into fixing my bike (I scored yet another flat 36 hours following its repair + brakes + a new bike post), train fare, and food... but after that, I can afford to do some things. Catch up on a little social-time, get some necessities for the apartment, maybe buy some extra shorts for the summer... snazzy shorts. Oh, yeah.
But I'm also planning to put some into the credit card. The debt still looms, though it may be sleeping in the shade of the mountain. Beowulf said that. Just before he cleaved Grendel in 'twain.
I'm about this strong. I do the Summer Fitness Beowulf Workout.
I've been skimping on the social scene, lately. It's not your fault. When I don't have much money and I'm a bit down about it, it's hard to invent free things to do with friends. I must buy their love or at least find a smattering of cash to share in their frivolities.
So... Today I went to the beach with friends. We later had some beers at their apartment. I'll be going to a beach in Indiana with them this coming Saturday. I also plan to attend a documentary about Troll 2, one of the worst movies ever made. It will be followed by the movie itself. Here's a taste of its awesome awfulness:
That cannot be resisted. I'm also planning to hit some open mic stand-up this week. I shall participate in the 'unleashing of jokes.' I did some stand-up years ago and I'm going to try my hand at it again. I'm nervous about it but I'm sick of relying on other people to get my ideas off the ground. Therefore, I'm going to experiment with writing and performing my own material. Creatively, I'm the only person I can rely on to mold what I want, and since I'm always around me, I'm the only one to blame for not showing up at a rehearsal or generating poor material.
Oh, yeah, I have to look for a job too. Shit. So much to do.
