I must apologize for the last two days of diaries. I let myself down, I let my fans down and I let my Mom down. No kidding, my Mom! I got an IM yesterday from her: “That wasn’t even worth logging on for.” Wow, thanks Mom! To make up for my misgivings, you’re in for a treat today. Today, I’m going to write the diary with a British accent. So, join me for what I promise will be the best diary this week.

Sweet Lord, I had such a horrible bus ride home last night. No traffic, it was a straight shot through the tunnel. The people around me just drove me nuts. The bus was not ventilated. I don’t need air conditioning, just a little fresh air. Smelling a bus full of stale cologne is enough to make me sick. Four, count ’em, four people made cell phone calls to their significant others with the exact same message, “I’m on the bus, I’ll be home in 5 minutes.” That drives me crazy! What did these people do before cell phones?! As far as I’m concerned, that’s cell phone abuse. I know I’ve talked about that before but these people just don’t seem to care about others around them. I’m really looking forward to the stage in my life when I’m not dependant on public transportation to survive.

I went to the CD store last night. I was looking for a couple of old CDs; they didn’t have them. I found a used Rollins Band live CD. It’s $17 new; I got it for $10. Just what the doctor ordered to knock out some pent up stress/anger. I also picked up a used CD from a new band, Loudermilk. The jury is still out on that purchase. I bought it mostly because they used to be a Guns ‘n Roses cover band. I heard that Slash and the other members of Guns are getting back together to record a record – minus Axl, of course. That’d be great! Slash is a great guitarist. And that’s it for music news, ha ha.

I think I’m getting a cold. My throat felt a little funny yesterday. It went away throughout the day but then I started feeling lightheaded. Note to my Mom – yes, I’m taking vitamins and getting plenty of rest. Damn colds!

I’ve been talking about driving up North for about a month to check out the fall foliage. When I was walking back from the record store I noticed several trees without leaves. I think I missed nature’s fireworks. I also missed that damn meteor shower the other day. I need to start picking up on the little joys of life. I’m deep into the work, sleep, work, sleep rut right now. DEEP!

I feel good about today’s diary. I even made a little outline to follow so it wouldn’t suck today.

God Bless America.
