Oh, Jimmy

See this cool looking Jimmy? Well, in the past week it's stripped $1100.00 from my already tiny bank account. I'm no "car guy" so it's quite possible I got screwed by our mechanic with my intitial repairs, but to make things even worse, the engine went on me yesterday. Yep, the effin' engine. I'm on my way to band rehearsal in Toronto, and no doubt, on the 401, she goes on me. Thank god a CAA tow truck just happened to stop and give me a whopping $120.00 cash deal to take it back to Whitby where it sits idle as I write this. Oh, did I mention he looked exactly like Thomas Haden Church, the mechanic from Wings? Smoked about 3 butts in 15 minutes too! Aw well, he saved my ass, and I told him so.

Anyway I wanted to write this quick rant to let you know that if you see me this week, and I punch you in the junk, it's because I'm in a bad mood. I've been saving so much cash from my bar gigs lately, and still have a lot of debt, and now it looks like I shall be purchasing either a new car or a bike. No, a bicycle. If you see me on the road, swerve quick okay?

I'm obviously being dramatic, but it's what I do. I'll live even if my truck doesn't.

On a lighter note, the Flaming Lips are coming to the Phoenix on April 4th. I pray I get the night off of work. In other rock news, I'm still not a famous rock star....yet.
