Midnight - 4. In the middle of the week! How retarded can it get?

It's another 45 minutes until I have to bike to work, and I've managed to stay awake so far, but I know that I'm gonna be hitting a wall before lunch break.

Why am I the only fucker in this band with an honest to goodness day job?

Seriously, do i have a big kick me sign on my back, or something?

i've basically given up on dj'ing midweek at smartbar because of my new job. i haven't had to wake up this early since high school. ugh. and i just went out to shows the past two nights, but didn't stay too late. i'm actually shocked that i haven't hit my wall yet. i'm also very busy today, so i know it's inevitable.

WOW. No fucking WAY I'd make it to that gig every week.

Kill your bandmates or make them get day jobs and see how they like it.

Dude, our weekly (just got canceled my new manager) was tough, and we got paid $200 a night (split 2 ways) and were out by 11:30 if we wanted to be. What the hell are you thinking? Do you at least get some side trim out of it?
