Know When To Fold 'Em

Another month, another entry.

I've found I'm just not super interested in keeping a regular journal online so these once-in-a-full-moon posts will have to do. I need to get to bed so I'll make this quick.

My big convoluted gym plan thing was pretty much over before it began. The killing stroke in the end was money. It's simply stupidly expensive to buy that much food every week to eat, and as winter encroaches, my hours at work dip further. Pouring concrete in the middle of winter is just not a full-time thing. I'm not going to get laid off, but it will be soon getting to point of reaching my starvation budget, where I'm only making enough monthly to cover the essential bills (rent/loans/phone/insurance) and food/spending money will be scraps. I'll be calling Chad Tyler soon to learn some recipes for living solely off rice and pasta. (Suffice to say it makes little sense to try to build a house with no bricks, so the gym is going to be an occasional hobby at this point. I also decided my time would be better spent practicing drums [since i want to make a career of that] rather than trying to get huge [which I'm pretty sure you can't make a career out of, barring steroid use{zomg three layers of parentheses!}])

Anyway, if I can make it through the winter without collections agencies sniffing around, next spring and onwards looks very promising, financially speaking. I intend to be completely out of debt by the end of 2009. Some touring may push that back but my ultimate goal is debt-free no later than my 27th birthday, March 2010.
Anyone that reads this is probably well aware of any Kingdoms news I could redundantly fill you in on here, so I'll just say things are good. Shows upon shows are being booked and we have a lot of ideas and plans. Kitchener Dec 6, Guelph Dec 20, hope to see you there.

Oh, and I'm still somewhat of a grinch regarding our upcoming holiday season, but my cold stone heart is warming slightly due to the earnest efforts of a certain lady. We're very environmentally friendly, however: said efforts require less energy than a hamster. And they save my battery.
See you in December.
