this is a problem.



seriously? richie tenenbaum? mitch? you know the world has gone to shit when the great luke wilson is reduced to at&t commercials. don't worry luke, i'm going to make movies and when i do i'll be sure to give you a job. the fucking economy. it took me 2 months to land a job rolling burritos, and luke wilson can't even get in movies anymore. fucking whack.

thanksgiving break was a good time. drinking beers and smoking blunts with the bros, how can you go wrong with that. i hope you all had a good holiday. tomorrow's my big break between classes, i'll write a liah that brings the awesome on multiple levels.

so i had my first day of work yesterday. it's this burrito place by union square, dos toros something. if you ever find yourself in the area, i'll roll you a mean burrito. so this is my second food service job, definitely better than the shake shack. first of all, this is my first job without a uniform in years. i always like to think i made the denim button down build a bear shirt and powder blue shake shack shirt look good, but freedom is nice. the job isn't easy, but no job is. i spent two hours washing dishes, that was fun. after 2 months of job searching, i'll take whatever i can get. and also, for 92 cents more, try the guacamole. worth it.

there's nothing worse than a job interview, especially for a shitty job that you don't even want but desperately need. god dammit, if i had a time machine i'd go back to sophomore year of high school. i'd go andrew! whats good! listen, save your money way better. have you started working at build a bear yet? well stick with it as long as you can, and save. now i need to ask you a question. you're 15 or so, what are you doing slacking off with your grades. get awesome grades. why not, you're a smart kid. you don't even smoke pot yet. not that there is anything wrong with that...maybe there is. no, definitely not. anyway, focus. you're going to get real good grades, and you're not going to go to brooklyn college. you're going to bust the hell out of new york, remember california or bust? when the fuck did you lose contact with that? maybe you're still focused on that, i don't know where you're head is at.
listen andrew, i know this sounds sad that you're future self is a miserable fuck, but it's not all bad. you're just in a rough patch right now, and hey another 3 years into the future who knows. bickering never got anyone anywhere. and look at that, my vocabulary consists of the word bicker. keep your head high, goonies never say die.

mondays are probably my worst days. so i spent the whole day yesterday writing my step outline, only to find out it wasn't due today it's due next week. probably a blessing in disguise because it still needs a lot of work. but come on. also, i got my hands on the original tapes for the scarlet letter. so far, they're not working. but that's just because final cut doesn't like making things easy. shit happens. so what does that mean? get ready for The Andrew Southard Collection: The Early Years. maybe we can get some commentary going too. we'll see. it's about 4:20 in the afternoon, do you know where your brain cells are? sadly mine are intact and at school, but hopefully yours are lost on a thc fueled road trip somewhere.

there are babies with guns beheading their friends, and shopping malls around the world. yet somehow the kings of leon still find time to write songs about girls. -max bemis
i've had a tough 2 weeks or so. i'm trying to quit smoking, not easy. "trying to quit". i've got no job, no money, and no nicotene in my system. that's a bad combination. but none of that mattered yesterday, i got to see one of my favorite bands say anything at irving plaza. max bemis completely had the place at his fingertips. slowly through a vector, woe, yellow cat/red cat, and max playing a walk through hell were all highlights. all the new songs they played were awesome too, ahh..men, cemetery where his wife came on stage to sing, mara and me, and of course everyone knew hate everyone at this point. cemetery really is a great and beautiful song. they're playing highline ballroom tonight, i wish i was there.
their new self-titled album came out yesterday, pick that shit up. it's really fucking good, i promise.
and oh wait? the yankees can win their 27th championship tonight? you fistfucking me guy? say it with me. LETS. GO. YANKEES. GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE.

it's my birthday, 19 years. that just happened. boom. too bad the jets couldn't help me celebrate, damn, just a tough loss. but game 4 is tonight. who can complain?
so what have i learned in 19 years of life? the sun goes up, and then down. sometimes you have a job, sometimes you don't. shit happens. but at the end of the day, as long as you know you kicked ass and took names to the best of your ability, it's been a day.
thanks for reading, LIAH #1000 coming soon.
