   "So the mess is drawing forces/
Outside I hear them say/
Just come out with your hands up/
So we can blow you away..." -Big Wreck (Blown Wide Open)

Holy crap. What a gong show... I've been busy sorting stuff out for a garage sale on Saturday. It's stressing me out a bit because I don't really have TIME to be organizing a garage sale right now... The internet guy is coming today (Friday) to hook up my computer. I'm pretty happy about that. I think I'm losing my calbe TV though.. XD Since I hooked up my new TV and the surround sound the cable hasn't been working. I ALMOST get A channel. Hahaha.. Oh well..

So. I was at work Thursday night and it was pretty boring and lame since I had to spend six hours with annoying girl. It got better though at around nine when this woman and her son (who was maybe six or seven years old) came through. They had just been to the fairgrounds and were telling me that it was insane down there because some big name band was performing on the free stage. (It was Thornley) So, I said goodnight to them and the little boy put his hand out across the till as if to shake my hand, and instead of shaking it, he kissed it! That was the cutest thing ever! What a little sweetheart. XD

That made my night better. So I cashed on. At around 9:20pm my supervisor came up front with one of the guys who had his hand wrapped in paper towel. Turns out he has slashed his hand with his boxcutter and needs to go have stitches. Supervisor asks if I'll drive him down to Emergency. What am I going to say? "NO! No medical attention for you!" Of course I drove him. He was super calm about it, and he's only 16. I probably panicked more than he did. He keps saying "oh they'll probably just put a bandage on it and it'll be fine.." Umm... no. Stitches for you, boy. *nods* So I stuck around at the hospital with him until his mom got there. I filled her in on what had happened, since he was already in to see the doctor. Then she said I could go. So I did.

On the way out I could actually hear the concert going on. And the hospital is a fair distance from the fairgrounds. They were in the middle of playing "Blown Wide Open", lyrics to which, I have posted today. Big Wreck used to be fronted by Ian Thornley and when they broke up he continued with a solo career as just Thornley. So, yeah.

Pretty weird day. I'm really tired. I haven't had a really good sleep all week long. And I won't get to have one until maybe, Wednesday. I don't know. Have a good weekend kids. Keep on rockin' in the free world.
