Meds+Sleep+Kiss= Great Getaway

I feel like im on top of the world this week. My Licensed-rx.com refill arrived sooner than expected and has got me sleeping like a baby the past 2 nights. This time I used my head and ordered more. The more I ordered the cheaper the price got, so it was sort of a no brainer.

Unbelievable that my girlfriend and I are going to an all expense paid trip to the Kiss concert at The Pearl Concert Theater, which is the best outdoor Concert hall in Nevada.
It's 2008, and who would have thought the Psycho Circus (as I still refer to them) is coming to town. What kid doesn't want to run away from home and join the Psycho Circus? I bought the Psycho Circus CD to prepare. I love that CD. It sounds like vintage KISS, straight outta the 70s, with songs like "I Pledge Allegiance to the State of Rock & Roll" and "Raise your Glasses." Paul kicks things off with the title track that was obviously made to be a show-opener: "You're in the psycho circus and I say welcome to the show." Ace proves he can still play guitar on "Into the Void" and Gene sounds particularly ominous on my favorite track, "Within."

I have decided to go with the Paul Stanley Look. My girlfriend will go as Gene simmons because she claims to like the his T.V show (which is hard to believe). We will probably spend several hours attempting to do it ourselves, or I heard you can pay $30 to have a professional do it there. How hard can it be?

Getting back to reality..

I haven’t posted since July due to some unfortunate circumstances. My Uncle passed away on August 8th and had to make the trip down to Phoenix for the funeral. Still here for the support but, man do I hate phoenix, I just cant see why people wanna move there and go through 115 degree heat. The crime is bad and I know people like to say it’s no different from anywhere else but it has to be.

During one of my attempts to sleep in the hotel I'm at, just outside my window I witnessed 2 young kids attempting to steal a car. I casually watched them eventually succeed in jimmying the door open. They didn't seem interested in the car itself, rather in the stereo. It was a 1992 Cutlass Supreme (they still exist), a big score for them I bet. I was on the 7th floor so there wasn’t much I could do besides screaming out the window. And yet for some reason I chose not to even attempt so much of an effort. Because I got called down here so quickly, I forgot my medication at home, so I had trouble sleeping when I was there because of that, the mattress, and just the general feeling of the death of my uncle. The hotel's wifi was on the fritz, so I didn't get a chance to get a refill on my licensed-rx.com prescription until I got home. I ended up getting some herbal sleep aid while I was here from some hippie shop, but it didn't really help.
But now that I'm home and back to my own sleeping domain, I'm able to sleep better now.

Set a date for craziness

Well, I figured out when I'm going to Tahoe for my weekend getaway from catching that cheater in the casino. And amazingly enough, my girlfriend picked it and not me and it makes me crazy about her that much more. I'll be going to Harvey's in south Lake Tahoe. We'll be going the weekend of the 29th and 30th of August. The reason for this specific date and why it's so damn cool that my girlfriend picked it is because the show for the night of the 30th is KISS! I'm definitely going to go the whole 9 and get my face painted. Not sure if I'll go with Gene or just do my own crazy look that I'll make up sometime in the next month. So, props to my girlfriend for finding and picking that date.
Also, yeah I'm an idiot, I just figured out that the reason that I'm not getting any comments on my blogs is that I have it set only on registered users... well at least I hope that that's the reason.
Also my friend Amy started a more informative insomnia blog, kinda what I thought I'd do when I started this one. So yeah, check it out when you get a chance. it is Sleep Well, Sleep Now

A nice weekend

So, about time for me to go to sleep. I spent the weekend relaxing for the most part. I went out shopping for junk yesterday, I went by one of those last chance merchandise stores by the dump and picked up almost a full compliment of glasses for the bar set I'm making. I bought 10 martini glasses 7 margarita glasses 7 highballs and lowballs, 4 brandy glasses, some apertiff glasses, 3 cognac glasses, and 6 long island glasses. That all cost me $22, then I got a beautiful piece of artwork for my mantle, it's a painting of a harbor, probably something in china from the design of the boats, kind of set at sunset. It's probably about 1.5 ft tall and 4.5 feet long, so it fits perfectly. And it was only $10. I guess it really is true that one man's trash is another man's treasure.
And I've been sleeping very well the past few days, though, last night I did wake up a couple of times, but the first time was just a bird hitting my bedroom window. Scared the crap out of me.

A great day

I didn't have time to update my blog this morning, had to just get to work after I woke up, but I fell asleep quickly last night and I had a full night of sleep, I actually slept 9 and a half hours. I can't remember when was the last time I slept that long, uninterrupted. Well actually I can, but it was a few months ago. The Ambien I ordered worked great. I also got a call from the customer support people at licensed rx.com, to inform me that my order had arrived, I guess they couldn't see that I had already picked it up or something. But today at work was great, I didn't need any coffee or tea or anything, I felt refreshed the whole day through. I even pulled off a spiderman catch of a tripping waitress with her drinks, that was pretty cool for sure. Well, I'm off to sleep again, going to try without the meds tonight just to see if it was a fluke or not. Good night everyone

Well, they're here

So, a few weeks ago, I had ordered some Ambien from an online pharmacy, and I came home today and had a registered mail slip for them in my box, I went to the post office and picked them up, and now I'm about to see if they're worth it. I'll talk to all of you in the morning to tell you how it went.

Night shift

So I worked the night shift this past night, 9pm-4am. It's when all the crazies come out. You get a lot of those old ladies who will sit infront of a slot machine for hours on end who never seem to run out of quarters, they zombies, makes you wonder why they're there in the middle of the night, makes me wonder with all the people there in the middle of the week in the middle of the night if they have problems sleeping too.

About 11pm is when you get the most young people come in who are just barely able to come in, like with birthdays in the past 5 months that get all offended when you ask for their ID. I say, if you're lucky enough to look under 30, be happy when I ask you for your identification. I think that's actually from a sign in a liquor store.
I do feel bad sometimes for kids that come in after watching a ton of ESPN 2 poker tournaments and think they're going to leave with a lot of money. Just because you can read your friends poker faces doesn't mean you are going to do well with pros. Had one kid actually break down crying when he lost his money last night... there's one of those every now and then.

I got called over to the bar at about 3am to escort a guy out who had a touch too much and wouldn't leave and he threatened me with an ashtray. Needless to say, that's not the right thing to do around someone trained to deal with stuff like that. He was a big guy so it took me a few seconds to disarm him of the ashtray and then another guard came over and we ziptied his hands and took him outside and cut him loose. I haven't had to actually fight anyone in a while, but it's always a nice boost of adrenaline when I do.
I just checked the tracking for my ambien order, looks like it should be here tomorrow or the day after, it's at some distribution center here in california.
