Payin' the Bills and Movin' the Country

Watching the cable television in the last 10 minutes I've seen 2 people I see regularly around town. In fact, I saw one that I'd seen 15 minutes earlier at Kroger. Course, in the grand tradition of running into people I had run out just to pick up a couple things for dinner just to the ghetto Kroger, just around the corner, no where special you know-no brush to the hair, no clean shorts or t-shirt, barely any shoes. Seriously I look like crap. It is when I look like crap that I find myself seeing people I know but not well enough to see me in working in the yard attire. Note to self: always go out looking decent. Doesn't have to be your best-but Jay-sus girl!
Oh wait, I know him too, insulted him in sign language last night actually (he returned the insult, tho I don't think he knew what I said)-3 people I know have been on TV in the last half hour. Either A) I am watching a friend's public access TV show-or B) I know people that make good talking heads on County Music Television. You be the judge.
I wanna be a talking head on country music and any other kind that'll have me TV. It's my life goal, actually. VH-1, CMT, GAC, hell, MTV 7 3/4 give me a topic, I have an opinion on it.

So what else happens in my world other than me watching lots of cable television? Gas prices are kicking my ass. The ass of the whole collective driving country. When I talked to Sis on Friday we were talking about how back when I got my DL we could have $5 and have enough for gas and a trip thru the Taco Bell DT-$5, you had yourself a night, just cruising and listening to grunge and being kids. Damn, I never thought that those years would be something to look back on, but, there ya go. My Black Rose, doesn't get the most amazing gas mileage in America. It's pretty alright, but it ain't Scion hybrid mileage you know. And I've got to make 2 trips to KY for school a week (yeh, yeh, I could live there and never have to drive any-fuckin-where but I don't and I'm glad I don't because if I lived there I'd live in-Kentucky and not in Nashvile-but it has to be clear that I love being in East Nasvhille and my life here so it's not even worth thinking about the other option. I made my choice and Diety in which you place your Faith made the decision to destroy the city of voodoo and amazing food and music and culture. Life's like that.) But I'm lucky, real real damn lucky because Da told me that he was thinking that what with gas being over $3 a gallon I shouldn't send him $100/month I should send him $200 cuz that seems fair...Or, if I couldn't swing that, how bout I just on good faith pay what I can afford each month, no use suffering when I don't have to, they're not gonna have any problem if I don't pay so much as I'd planned so why should I. Lots of stuff may be questionable about my world-but that my parents love me-there ain't a question.
I'm cutting back when I can, I have no problem riding the bus and a bus pass is pretty cheap too so I'm going to look into getting one of those. The weather is alright so I've been saving money on electricity not running the A/C. I sent what I could afford to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. It wasn't much, but at least I can feel like I tried. Wish I could do more, but I can't right now. Life is good. I'm having a great time. Went honky tonkin' last night and danced (badly) and had a great time with good friends and good musis. Tho it was a little weird, for reasons I am not entirely sure of. It was just weird-I think maybe Delta Dawn had a lot to do with it. Here's $5 pal, never play that song again. Or wait, here's $20, play Thunder Rolls. That'll be even funnier.
Yeh, so anyone know what the hell was goin' on dt Nashville last night? Whatever it was was wild enough I tried to go the wrong way down a one way street (no, I was not) just to get the hell out of it. I felt awfully sore thumb-ish what with being a red headed hippie redneck hillbilly girl in a sea of high stylin' black folks with pimped autos. I wasn't uncomfortable, but I sure was noticable. I mean, Lord have mercy-quarter to 3 in the morning and the town looked like it was ten til 5 on a Friday. Whatever was going on must've been a good time. Maybe I should've gone to that party.
Now, I simply must watch more cable TV, as I'm paying for it and should thus watch it...Augh...tho seriously...Wynona-someone send her away she scares me.
