Well, I’m in under a week now and I guess I’m starting to realize that it will soon be all finished and done with. I know for a fact that it will be a very good thing being done with this job and all, but it’s starting to sink in that I won’t be seeing these people everyday that I have now for over 11 years. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s a very weird feeling. There’s also the nagging feeling that I won’t have health insurance for two whole months starting in April. I’m going to look like the kid in the car commercial all wrapped up in bubble wrap for the months of April & May.
Moving on away from work… for the first time in quite some time I actually purchased a few CDs. I got the new one from Public Enemy which is really good with a throwback to the old days without sounding extremely retro. If you were never a fan you’ll probably never be and if you are a fan buy the album because you should really enjoy it. I also picked up Sonic Jihad by Paris. I have wanted this one for quite a while and it isn’t available anywhere around here so I hadn’t picked it up until now. It’s a very political rap record, which is something that is unfortunately not done much anymore and when it is done it’s never put on the radio. Apparently the only way you can have rap music played on the radio is if you scream incoherent messages and sayings without every conveying a message… aka talking loud as a motherfucker but ain’t sayin’ nothin’. The third album I picked up was by Chino XL. If you don’t know Chino XL I’d suggest you try and find his stuff either in the stores or online. I haven’t heard this CD enough to really judge it yet, but Here to Save You All is probably his best one… true classic, too bad not enough people know about it.
