Members unistudent1980 Posted May 20, 2005 Members Share Posted May 20, 2005 You might want to try working 3 full days of the week going to school for one day and using The other days for band practice or whatever. I still can't believe you get paid $2.15 p/h is that what the base rate is for waiters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jjpistols Posted May 20, 2005 Author Members Share Posted May 20, 2005 Aw cheer up Chris! I'm not even sorry, and the shocks worn off. I'm not worried about money yet, my bills are few and my friends are many:D I'm kind of surprised that I'm not bothered more, I guess it just really was time to leave there, although I had no major complaints and usually had an okay time at work.BB-Thanks. I've been a "day job musician" for years, and honestly, I really like life. It stays real simple. I can't say if I'll have regrets or not. I am starting to realize, at 32, I'm no longer 18. I'd say I feel about 22 now. But wiser, yet still as youthful I still feel like I'm not quite ready to grow up and join society. I don't know ... I guess the one anyone should be feeling sorry for is my poor mom, who thought I'd be a lawyer or something But all in all, she's pretty proud.And oh yeah - ELECTRIC GUITARS RULE!!!!

Members cloudnine Posted May 20, 2005 Members Share Posted May 20, 2005 ...Hoser. But seriously, Strange Brew is the absolute best movie to watch on a night in with the guys (especially if you're a Canuck or have lived/spent time in Canada before).

Members cloudnine Posted May 20, 2005 Members Share Posted May 20, 2005 I have a pic when I was like 9 of Gordie Howe punching me in the arm. He also pretended to think I was a girl. Extremely charming, nice man. They don't make sports players like that anymore.Don't forget Jim Carrey, Dan Aykroyd, the Sutherlands, Pamela Anderson, and Neo and Trinity from the Matrix.
