Okay, so I think i was the only person at the John Fogerty/ John Mellencamp concert who DIDN'T know that Fogerty is the former lead singer of CCR. I mean how could I NOT know that?!? Seriously... The concert was fucking amazing. The Fogerty part was like going to a CCR concert, so good. And then Mellencamp. I love this guy. I always have, always will. I've been listening to him for as long as I can remember, and probably before that time as well. He is just amazing. The whole concert was amazing. Except for the opening act. It was uber-lame. But it didn't last long.
So I essentially got 2 full concerts for the price of one (if you consider $80, a price for one).
I just can't get over how amazing it was. Why I don't go to more Classic Rock concerts (other than the fact that there aren't many) is beyond me. They remind me why I love this music so much.
Oh, and I realized, when John Mellencamp walked out on stage, and just stood there while thousands of people cheered him, that I want to be a rockstar. I mean how awesome would that be. Just walk out, look around and have ppl screaming. I've never wanted to be a rockstar, not really anyway. But at that moment, there would have been nothing better. But that isn't going to happen, so I'll settle for playing my bass at church (for which, I still do not have music for this Sunday).
Oh, and it's my birthday today. My Jo's card got here today too. :) And my parents bought me a hard guitarcase and a bottle of Jagermeister. :) Yay for birthdays, even if they are looked over by everyone else in life. The people who truly mean something always come through. :) Yay for good friends and family.
oh...and I'm starting the new harry potter tonight...so excited!

on the footsteps of the previous post
Guess who decided to call me this morning? Fucking IBM. Apparently they like my resume, and would like me to come in for an interview. *sigh*
I applied there a couple of weeks ago...maybe a month. Didn't hear from them and continued to send out resumes.
Fuck. I just took this job. I'm going to call and see what they have to say anyway.
Of course they had to call AFTER I went for a medical which ran me $130.

Career Change
Hahahaha....once again I am switching jobs. Hopefully for the last time in a few years. I'm getting sick of this, and this one is looking to be right up my alley.
Last week on Wed I sent my resume to a mechanical company here in town in response to an ad online for a Millwright Apprentice. *this is what I used to do prior to bible college and computers*
He called me for an interview that afternoon, I went in for an hour and a half interview Thurs morning, and went in for a 2nd interview (essentially a hiring session) Friday morning.
The job itself will be working with all sort of conveyor systems at various plants here in town. The reason I was hired was for my electronics experience/aptitude. He wants me to become this big electronics guy, which is awesome because it will use some of my millwright training, along with some of my computer training. So along with pulling wrenches and being a grease monkey, I'll be working with electronics, fixing electric forklifts, and doing some PLC (programmable logic controller) programming. This is more the intellectual side of the millwright trade, and trades in general, as much as trades can be intellectual.
So yeah. New job for me. I start on Monday. I'm going for my medical today (which I have to pay $130 for up front and will be reimbursed). Oh, and I get to buy more tools. :) Any guy, and some women, will understand the joy this brings. I just bought myself a grinder, the downside is it cost me $193. As much fun as buying tools is, the cost seems to really overshadow it.
And I HAVE to stay at this job.
