It's actually very, very tedious. The people who do this every day with thousands of records must not have anything better to do... wow.
I'm at the station now, thinking of the show for this evening. I'm not really in much of a mood for anything today, perhaps I've taken on too many volunteer projects and now I'm feeling exhausted as a result, or I feel progress isn't quick enough and I'm getting demotivated, or I just want some juice.
Either way, I have much to do and not that much time. So, let me stop writing and get to some work!

Good Friday.
So, it's Good Friday... eleven Days ago. The 10th of April, and I remember very little of what I did in the morning.Somewhere around the afternoon, I went with my neighbour and great friend, Tiana, to teach her a bit of driving an automobile.
I think she's a natural, considering she's driven probably three times in her life - ever. As far as I know, all have been with me as well.
So, after the driving we went up to Chagauanas to see a bike show, with stunt rider Jason Britton, another guy whose name unfortunately slips me, some local stunty people, and assorted jokers.
Got there in time for the scheduled start, but long before the actual start. Tiana got some autographs, and I took some photos, and George did some chatting up of various people. The event started off nicely, the bicycle guy, Superman, was decent, and the Motorcycle display was mighty cool, if not a bit repetitive.
From there, Tiana and I headed up to Queen's Hall to see "Snow White and the Seven Trinis", as recommended by the other Tiana, who I call Chandelier. Unfortunately, it was all sold out! So, we went back to the bike show for the "second half".
The second half happened to be very much like the first, with the addition of a random car driving through to show off it's bling. Tiana went to grab a photo with a motorcycle, and some photographer man invited her to sit on it and *snap snap snap*, now she's a model! If only just for that one evening.
It was a pretty cool day spent with Tiana, and the memories I am grateful for in this journey through life. Thanks to George, of course, for going to cover the event.
On the way out, an RX-7 did some doughnuts... yummy!

being assistance.
So, tonight/tomorning, I'm coming home (It's 1:00 AM local time now, and I'm home about 15 minutes), and about 12:05 on the way home, there's a small pickup parked on the inside of the on-ramp.
I look at them and I notice there's a man, and a woman holding a baby. Now, mind you, I'm tired, and I have a long day ahead of me, so I slowed down, and drove past.
But, I rolled backwards and wound the glass down and asked if I could be of assistance. He apparently overheated, and needed a tow. It wasn't very far, just to the next overpass, so I agreed. It took us all of five minutes to get there, and another ten or so to get the van up the little hill, and push and position it into a nice spot.
I was offered some sum of money, I really didn't want money, but he was insistent. I was, however, more insistent on not accepting. He lowered his offer, and I still refused. I mean, as I said to him, "it's sometimes how I can help, you know?"
Apparently, they were stranded there since 7:00 PM, and nobody offered to help. I was in the company vehicle though, and I do wonder if they would be cool with me doing that, at least in their presence. They shouldn't right?
It was really nice to be able to help someone, and bring a little bit of brightness into their night.
I think my day was pretty okay, come to think of it... maybe I'll get back and talk about Good Friday, April 10th.

getting in order.
I've got quite a lot to do in my life, I think, but it sometimes begins to overwhelm me. I'm sitting here, at ACTS 25, with my 2008 diary, which has become something of a notebook instead of a daily planner, and trying to figure out what I've got to do.
So far, I know I have some comptuer business to deal with, some car business to deal with, some editing/video business to deal with, and some very important teaching business to deal with.
I need to get things in order, so I can more easily get things done... I also need a proper work area in my room. Perhaps if I didn't have a bed, it'd be more conducive to working? Perhaps like an at-home, sleep-in office? Perhaps if I just had me a nice couch, I could not only save space, but still sleep on it, and it'd technically become a bed, wouldn't it?
I'd like to have more shelves, and cupboards, and generally more storage areas in my room. It'd be a much happier place for me to work... a computer'd be wonderful as well. For now though, I just need to sift through my brain repeatedly and get things organised, and start scratching items off my to-do list.

...shooting a video!
Sunday, I was part of a music video shoot. It'll be my first video, for Sons of Zion's "Jump for Life". The day started with a vagrant-man harassing Vicky, and telling us how he ran the streets. I was just trying to make sure he didn't touch me, or harm anyone.
The anyone, at this point, were me, Vicky and my very highly-appreciated friend, Tiana Maria.
I already shot some of it in studio, and it was out on the street for some action shots. We got part of High Street Shut down and that was a pretty cool thing, at least for me.
Unfortunately, the crowd was pretty small, and sometimes tended to look very disinterested, but I think it'll be something stellar. I wanta do two versions if I have the time, and footage.
After, met Fran and played Pool in the Upper Room and it was pretty decent. I teamed up with Tiana in the end, and, unfortunately, luck was not with us so we lost.
