Was at a festival and went to a crystal workshop out of curiosity. The instructor started of saying whether it's scientific or placebo If the desired effect is accomplished does it really matter. I don't buy into crystals but I can't argue with an end result however it's achieved. These things get taken out of hand with people quiting legitimate medical treatments to pursue homeopathic option that are under productive but in unhatmful ways I can support whatever.

Crazy times we live in, one reality star candidate and they are all talking shit on twitter.

I've been on a weird sleep schedule running 3-630pm till 10pm-12am for about two weeks. It's been terrible for seeing friends but awesome for productivity. I wake up with nothing to do but clean, read, and draw and dj, instead of going to work tired, I'm awake and ready to go and in a productive mood. I even have time to run errands after if neccesary.

It's been wonderful for keeping me out of trouble too haha. It's easy to stay in waking up that late, and it's been nice for my sense of balance mentally.

I'm trying to fix it tonight though. Once I'm back on something regular we'll see if the party animal in me died a quiet death or has just been hibernating haha.

Any chance of creating a tag for this particular subject? I haven't been posting long enough to add my own tag.

Song from my teenage years about dishwashing.

In my experience it pays at least a dollar and a half less then a cooking job, it is much less stressful thiugh. If you get to choose your music it's almost serene outside of making little more than minimum most of the time and leaving work wet consistently. After dishwashing for almost 3 years straight at different places in different states I'm glad I've built a resume where I'm only touching bar glasses.

Maybe just a local thing. I've never experienced that. Can't complain either, cooking is a more skilled job and way more stressful.

Edit: to complain about everyone back of house getting paid to little. Regardless of position getting paid 9-10 an hour on a Saturday and catching shit from people making at least 5 more an hour on average for being in a good enough mood to tolerate the occasional asshole customer is frustrating as hell. I've been serving and bartending for the past 2 years too. A fake smile does deserve that much of a wage difference. Bartending I'll accept only because it's part baby sitting and requires knowledge of recipes.

The painting looks awesome. Good luck on the homebrew? What style are you going with off the bat?

My last roommate had a 0retty large collection of pedals and I loved creating a wall of ambient noise then noodling over it. I can't say I ever made anything usable but it was fun.

Buot to head into work. I've been working mostly morning now which I'd awesome. Getting tired at 11pm is kinda crazy for me though.

There's nothing wrong with being assertive, especially when you're spending money.

Chilling in between shifts drinking a triple ipa that is malty enough to balance the 133 ibu nicely.

I spent the morning working on a walk in cooler and learning to wire lights. The fuse box is a lot less intimidating now that I know which parts of it will kill me haha. Training a friend tonight so I can focus more on projects around work.

Got asked to dj at Club around here for "First Friday" which is a big night for people to come to the city for art and music, it's not a huge deal in general I guess but a big deal for me! Should be fun.

The power ball drawing is tonight. I haven't bought a ticket but I'm enjoying the mania and hearing people's plans if they win.

That Arthur c. Douglas quote about the universe being so infinitley, uncomprensivley, unfathomablley,ridiculously, gargantuan comes to mind.

Shake Graves, Bronson, and Kendrick!

I'd be super surprised to get a book line that from either of my grandma's. The mention of an icp gather makes me interested, probably because I have shit to do with the culture outside of working with someone who had a hatchet man at every job I've had the past 5 years until 6 months ago. That and I've seen the documentary "American Jugallo". Want to see where a book that covers that goes.

I'm reading "Moonchild' by Aleister Crowley. It's halfway alright kinda nonsensical and purposely archaic but I'm half way through so I'm gonna chip through. It was one of his first book and I think it offers some insight in to where the rest of his life went.

The friend I borrowed it from also lent me "A Field Guide to: Demons, Fairies, and other creatures of sinister nature" which I'm most of the way through. It's just short explanations of myths from various cultures split into the sections of: forest, sea, mountain, and plains. It's interesting seeing how different cultures created tales to scare the same message of monogamy, humility, and (surprising to me) land conservation. Morals of creating a healthy family are also covered too.

I'll voice act. I'm monotone as a hell though
