For Better....Or Worse?

Hard to believe that it's been almost a week since I last wrote a post for this blog, so needless to say I think I'm overdue for some online catharsis. Note to readers: if you don't want to listen to me rant and ramble, don't read my blog. A simple solution to a simple problem.

The title of this blog post is a reference to the play I'm currently involved with at Westside Players, For Better: A Love Story In The Digital Age, written by Eric Coble. We will be having performances every Friday and Saturday in July at The Warehouse and you should all come - the show is full of amazing actors, funny moments, and snappy dialogue. I highly recommend that anyone who uses social media and technology to converse with their loved ones check out this show, it provides a humorous and realistic look at this topic. If you'd like more information, please check out Westside's website at www.westsideplayers.org and for reservations, please contact The Raven's Nest at 208-232-2232.

And now that I'm done making a sales pitch to you folks and advertising the show (which I happen to be the assistant stage manager for), let's talk about life in development over the past week or so. Bear in mind, try as I might to have "normal" weeks, for some reason they tend to avoid me like the plague.

1. Turns out I need to get the brake pads on my car replaced - awesome. Considering that this is the first  real maintenance I've done on that car since I got it five years ago and it's older than me, I'm counting my blessings that it wasn't engine problems. Needless to say, I have to be incredibly careful with how I use the car, since I don't want to cause added damage to the rotors until I get the brake pads fixed next week - but there is no way in hell I was walking to the laundromat three miles away :)
2. Still waiting on the IRS to send me the documents I need from them so ISU can process my FAFSA and it figures that my senior year would be the year that this was hell they put me through - it's always something else they want. Hopefully this all gets taken care of soon.
3. People keep cropping up in life that snap at you for the little things one day and then the next day they want something from you. Give me a flipping break. Particularly since most of the stuff I'm doing happens to be for the job that both you and I hold. Not my fault that I'm now your boss and stepped up to the plate. Deal with it.

On a random note, I have decided to completely throw myself into the upcoming show at Westside so I can forget about what's happening as my personal life starts to crumble. Being at the theater provides me with that much-needed break from reality that I definitely have to have in my life right now. I've come to the realization that dating for me is next to impossible.

Until next time, friends.
