| If you're upset that I never update this thing anymore, it's because I was finally sucked into the myspace cult by my most recent ex, and therefore now enjoy the luxuries of all that usefulness without paying a dime like you have to for xanga premium. My myspace url is www.myspace.com/matthew_lee_wendt . Check it out, I have all kinds of videos and even some pictures again on that one, as well as a few blogs here and there. Peace y'all!
Shalom<><

Okay...
Now I have car insurance again, I have a band of which to jam with and also which has some outstanding potential, and I have a bit of savings in the bank for the first time in many, many months. Things are well and today after I took Adro to work, he put ten bucks on the pre-pay i was parked next to and I was able to take a cruise to my happy place: The open road. That was wonderful. Another note is that the newest Muse CD is absolutely awesome in every way I hoped it would be and I have karaoke tomorrow night. The OC is nearly done and over with, which is slightly upsetting, though they're doing a very good job wrapping it all up in my opinion thus far. But enough on that, how are you doing today?

| Okay, so my national guard weekend is now completed after staying an extra 2 days to make up for missed drills prior and i have once again somehow managed to make all the higher-ups give me a break till the next drill arrives. I only got partially smoked once for coming in late on Sunday... unlike what demon child (TJ) would have had happen to me (inside thing) lol.
So after all is said and done, that little break-in from the previous post cost me dang near 800 Bucks and now I only have 600 Bucks left in emergency savings money. But at least I now know that all will be well again in mid-2008. Ask me personally what that means sometime.
I still have that crazy job that i was talking about in the previous entry and things are going decently well for now they want to give me a free hitch for my car so I can pull a hot dog cart around with it. That'll be fun too because that'll be during the day when people aren't so drunk (thank goodness). well that's all for now, I will now conduct my attempt to install my new stereo in my car outside where it's horribly cold. Peace Y'all!
Shalom<><

| So here's what happened on this lovely day, the 12th of January 2007:
I woke at 8 am (already a bad start) and couldn't seem to fall back to sleep so I decided not to, without considering the consequences. Then, after watching a series of the A-Team shows, I headed off to my first shift of work for the day at 4pm. I stayed there till 9:30pm and then headed home to quickly change before my evening shift of standing outside for 5 hours, attempting to sell hot dogs to drunken idiots.
This is where I started to be slightly irritated with people. One guy comes by and is followed by about 10-20 loud drunk people who all claim that they want a hot dog RIGHT NOW, followed by some other idiots (these being girls) asking if they can pay for hot dogs by flashing me, to which I politely return "Not a chance in hell." The first guy up to the table orders three dogs with everything but mustard, the second guy wants four dogs with everything but onions and chilly, and then some other guy (not either of those two) hands me a twenty dollar bill and points at about 10 people and says "you remember these guys, that should cover them!" Then he stumbles off and disappears for the rest of the night. So then I explain to the crowd who is now throwing cheese and relish at each other thinking they're all being funny, that the twenty dollars that that guy left will only buy a dog for eight of the ten people he was "buying" for, as well as having the first guy tell me that he wants only two then, and that he didn't know that the second guy (of whom is at this time puking in my waste basket) was buying for himself and others... oy vey. Now this is when it gets complicated. My boss runs out and asks if i need anything to which i have to stop about 10 guys from explaining to me why I'm ripping them off (all talking at once), tell my boss that I could use a bottle of ketchup and I'm down to about ONE dog once I get done with this order. So then some smart ass trys to take back that twenty that the other drunk gave me five minuted ago from the cash drawer and so I grabbed his wrist and showed him the knife that I had opened already in my other hand. Then look that guy strait in the eye and tell him that my job before doing this gig was to kill people professionally. He then agreed that I should keep the twenty in the drawer. Then afterward when I was cleaning up for the night, my boss tells me that we're fifteen bucks short. I think OooooO, that's horrible (being sarcastic) and tell him "I ate 2 myself, gave one to a homeless guy, one to a cop, and two more were thrown at people."
Then I finally got done with explaining all that is above here to him and got out of work a half hour early thinking "perhaps this is the turnaround point..." But then I saw a lot more glass and a lot less radio inside my car than what I'm used to and then I threw my soda... AH HA!!! THAT'S WHERE THAT SODA WENT AND RAN OFF TO!! I threw it when I was upset. You see? It's good to vent: you never know what you might remember.
All of that was absolutely 100% true happenings of today for me. I'm still kinda cheery about it because I'm a bit off that way due to the war. eeeEEEEEEEEEEeeee!

Entry #1
A bus passes by and the clock chimes ten on a cool winter eve in Grand Rapids. The air may be cool, yet this city gives off a lighthearted warmth that resonates within these building's evening glow. As I sit here upon the crest of the famed "giant tire swing," I ponder my time spent thus far within this town. The holidays are now fading away into the dark night and we all are forced to get back to what we must. All the new dreams and goals will be transformed into reality in the coming year. What else may G-d show to me within this city? As enlightened as I may now be in comparison to last year at this time, I still know that more is to come as the sands of time slowly trickle down their way. What is time as such if not more than the records produced by its precepts? Is there more to time than meets the eye?
If you have the "time" visit http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5896048467372201322&q=the+world%27s+first+time+machine
It's crazy interesting, and if you're a person who craves knowledge like me, then you Have to at least watch this movie on Google videos.
What else is to be said this evening??? I'm gonna watch the movie and get back to you on that.
Shalom<>< Y'all
