well tonight its 3:28am i am sitting bed thinking that i have to be up at 8am. i think they should make more hours in a day. i think it would be a good move. i have 5 jobs right now i am going crazzzzy. but starting to see signs of it, money! pretty much a good thing for right now. carey is in poland living in a castle studing. i am just tring to keep busy with work so i dont have to think about it,. i miss the lady. i started working at a place called AHG its a clothing company, i am in the womens design department. we work on blouses and shirts for like jc penny. again crazy. but tonight i worked at a new record stouree/cafe/music club called cake shop. its nice. good dudes. ive been getting all kinds of records. nyc has a great selsction lately ive been buying the hits. ive never been a hit player. but ive decide to have some of them intermixed. i read a nice thing about record collecting. a snip from it. some dude Benni B, head of ABB records.

"I buy music to listen to and play for folks. As far as collecting. it's more of a love of music than a love of collecting records. It's like you're a cook and you have a spice rack and you like a lot of spices, you have a bigger spice rack than some cooks. People always want to know, well how many records do you have? It doesn't matter. The real question is, how do you play and work with what you have. Instead, it's like a game that people like to play, try to test your knowledge and shit. All I can say is that I've seen records come and go... You can sit here and tell me you have fifty thousand records, but you know what? You can't go out and play them all at one time. You may think, like, "Okay, it's going to make me seem cool, it's going to put me in the in-crowd." Guess what? You pull out that $700 eBay joint while DJing a party, an attractive woman comes up and asks, Could you spin some Prince for me?" and you're like, "No, I have this $700 Wayne McGhie record." That's the reality of record collecting right there."

"Every record that I ever bought was because I either wanted to listen to it or play it for others... That was one of the most rewarding things about doing radio. Discussing the music, the artists. I never just bought records to put them on the shelf as trophies. C'mon now, I'd rather put the money into my company, and invest in people. No matter how many records you got, you can't take them with you when you leave."

as for life its good. i need to get out of the city for awhile. this place can be a bit overwellming. i just wanna go camping. i miss trees. damn hippy.

records i got today.
