Wednesday, Jun. 30, 2004 - 9:16 p.m. Watched the news tonight after work. Still no budget for the state of North Dakota. Sounds like the 2 main combatants in this pissing contest are no closer to giving in than they were a month ago, public statements not withstanding. The comptroller for North Dakota was shown on camera, talking to a reporter for the local station tonight. He said that the big date is July 12th. No budget by then, and paychecks COULD be in jeopardy. He made the following statement, �Rest assured, all state employees should still report to work. It might take some time, but they will be paid eventually�. EVENTUALLY? What balls! I guess I should call up my mortgage company and the holder of the title on our Vibe and tell them that I will be able to make my payments EVENTUALLY. These scumbags have no concept what living in the real world entails. Make them all one-termers. That will be the rallying cry of thousands of state workers, come the next statewide elections. Fuckers�. On a brighter note: I was standing in line a couple of days ago, purchasing my copy of the new cd by The XXXXX XXXXXXXX (written about here), and a 50-packof blank cd-re�s, when I noticed the young man (yes, I am old enough to call a teenager a �young man�) behind me in the checkout line had a single cd in his hands. Turns out, it happens to be one that I picked up on one of my eBay �bargain shopping� adventures from Kmak333 (a seller I highly recommend). I told him that I really liked this cd (I do). He asked me how I would describe this band (the group is call �The Format�, with info about them located at this link at the AMG) . I completely drew a blank. I told him they really didn�t sound just like any other band (which I still think is true), and I asked him what he was hoping for. He said he likes rock, but nothing hard or metal. I was able to tell him that this cd isn�t anything like that. I just couldn�t come up with a comparable. I said if he liked good rock without too much noise, he should like this disc. Lame. I know. He seemed to take that as a good recommendation, though. I hope he liked it after giving it a few spins. I am listening to the cd as I type this. And a band finally has come to mind to (somewhat) compare this group to: (Link crazy today, aren�t I?) And I think you know I love The Outfield, right? I think the sticker on his cd listed the disc at $11.99. I paid something like $2 for my copy. Gotta love eBay bargains�. p.s.- looking for the link to last year�s Mohall Celebration, and The Outfield�s performance, my search landed me on this page first. I only linked it today because of the cute baby pictures of Jay-Dog, located on said entry. Brought a smile to my face, anyway. That is what I have found is one of the best things about posting this �journal� as often as possible- the ability for me to see what was happening at any given point in my life over the past 3 years. Even if I have days with very few page hits (and readers), this thing still has value to me�..
