Its been a while since I have written. I have been busy and in reality I should be soaking up the last of the Florida sun while I still have some time. I am planning on leaving Florida either Tuesday or Wednesday depending on what is going on.
So since this is my last entry from Florida, I'll work backwards on what has happened.
Last night, I got drunk. Kayleen and I went out to this yuppie bar with Jose and the incredibly hot Dr. Nathan Mitts (aka Mr. Martha Rasch). Jose bought my drinks and Kayleen drove. What did I have to worry about? The night before I drove and went with Mark, Kayleen and Brad to a different bar. The guys played pool and got absolutly trashed and I had a couple of beers. Then I guess it was Thursday night we went out to the Mexican resturant and I had a drink (can you see that I was warming up to last night?) and ended up with whipped cream in my face. Thanks Jose for going behind my back and talking in Spanish and telling the waiter it was my birthday. Whipped cream was in my eyes for crying out loud! But I got to keep the sombro.
I went last week and saw Ludo play at the Florida Music Festival in Orlando. They were literally playing on a stage the size of a full size matress. And while the bands before them had put their guitarists and singers on the floor, Ludo chose to fit everyone on stage by putting Marshall on a speaker/amp. Their show was really good even if it was short. I heard the new song, Mr. Mayor. And totally rocked out next to some record guy. It was a damn good thing I was there right in front. Then I rode in the van up to where they were staying (with Andrew's older sister Michelle) and ate a Steak'N'Shake. Justin recieved a late night call from Convy at my suggestion after I said that I had never (and still this is true) seen a single Star Wars movie. (Sorry Ludo came on Yahoo! Radio and scared the crap out of me!) I however didn't even get to talk to Justin. Then I got a ride back to my car at 4am. I arrived back home to the trailer at 6am after a nap 20 miles from home because I didn't need to put another Jeep Cherokee around a telephone pole. The night before I was also at the Florida Music Festival. Jose, Kayleen and I went down to see Jose's little brother's band, Radio play. They were really good! Esp. since the singer is 12! They rock out hard core and got some great reviews. They will probably get signed before Ludo! So check them out-http://myspace.com/tunetoradio
Nothing terribly exciting has been happening at work. Same old shit. I got to collect Albert the teaser stallion the other day. This consists of getting him aroused, washing his penis and then putting it into the artificial vagina when he mounts the dummy. It was pretty exciting and I recieved the normal amount of teasing regarding how happy I'll make some guy some day and how Albert is a firefighter so this shouldn't be that weird.
Jose tried to help me find a job here in Ocala. And while I wouldn't mind staying here in Florida, I don't really care where I live. I'd prefer to live in Columbia for the next four years but that implies getting into vet school. So I think I have decided to put off looking and getting a job until the end of summer then I'll make some hard core decisions once there is no hope for vet school (Dr. Mitts still thinks that I'll get in.) regarding moving and jobs etc...
So everyone should call me and arrange to see me when I have returned to the Mid-West. Love you all!

And now for the most brillant idea that I have had in a long, long time. It all came to me one night when I had a dream. And in this dream LeFisch and I were watching Ludo play. We however seemed to be in an aisle of a grocery store near the canned green beans and Ludo was playing in front of the meat case. And so was born THE ROCK 'N' ROLL GROCERY STORE.

Everyone has to buy groceries. Science has proven time and time again that the human body, even that of poor college students, can not go without food. And why should you go about a mundane task without getting a little entertainment along with it. And who likes to go to the store only to fight with the old purple haired ladies and soccer moms with four kids in tow. I don't and I work at a grocery store! What if there was a store oriented towards poor college kids? Something with a complete selection of the foods that college kids eat-mac 'n' cheese, Ramen noodles and cereal.

My complete idea is this-a grocery store/music venue/bar. This idea would only work in a college town. It would have to be located close to campus-ideally within walking distance. ( I think that the current location of Eastgate Foods would suit this nicely.) Also it wouldn't have to be large. It wouldn't have any fancy departments-no deli, no custom meats, no floral...It would however as stated earlier have a large selection of cereal, Ramen noodles, and mac 'n' cheese. It would also have a nice organic food department because I have found that indie rock people like organic or vegitarian food. There would be a large liquor department because how can it be a college grocery store without one? Value would be the key though for the college student dollar. There would be rock music playing overhead through the speakers and TVs playing music videos at various locations. I wouldn't have uniforms-clothes that you would wear to rock shows or to work at Hot Topic would be considered appropriate. I would have t-shirts-the logo is a band of food (called The Food Group) playing-a carrot drummer, a noodle bassist, a cheese guitarist and a can of soup for the singer/guitarist.  Hours would be from like 11 am to 3 am so you could shop after last call and the show. Who gets up before 11 in a college town other than the professors?

And the music venue/bar would be attached. There would be no groceries in the venue and no alcohol in the store. Sorry those are the rules. There would be a small charge on the nights that bands played. When bands played they could set up their merch booths at the endcaps of aisles. There would be a small section of the store that would be for merch from bands to or that had played.

Right now the store is called-'The Rock 'N' Roll Grocery Store' until I find something more clever and creative. The slogan is '...because food rocks!' Rachel came up with that. I think its pretty good.

Anyone willing to invest in such an idea should send me some money. Martha, talk to your Schnucks connections. I see big things for The Rock 'N' Roll Grocery Store.

Xanga-May 4, 2005

Justin wanted an update and accused me of doing IT with my firefighter boyfriend. For the record, he's not my boyfriend. AND we havn't been doing it thank you very much. I might be a slut but I'm not that type of slut.

Not much has really happened here. I have been working my ass off and when I am not working I am trying to see Brad. Maybe once a week because he is really busy too.

I seriously can't wait to come home because here gives me some anger managament problems. Everything about here is starting to hit me.

Counting down the days to Ludo in Orlando. Be jelous bitches!
