Saturday. What a day. Drinking coffee. Updating this thing.

Last night was fun. Keef and I went and played Raquetball at the fieldhouse. I’ve never played before so it took some getting used too, but it was fun.

Then I went to his radio show with him. You probably weren’t listening in, but if you were I was the one who suggested you slit your wrists. Tee hee. Tee hee.

Let’s see. Where should I start.

I’m listening to the new Fugazi album right now. It’s supposed to come out ’til monday and I’ll be buying a proper copy as soon as I can, but for now this awesome downloaded version works for me.

It’s incredible. I love Fugazi. They get better and better and better with every album. Now they have 2 drummers. Amazing I tells ya, amazing.

Tonight is too include more raquetball and who knows what else.

1 week ’til Murder City Devils hit this town. I can hardly wait. I love that band alot. Too bad they’re breaking up after this tour.

I found out the other night that some friends of mine from Omaha and Lincoln will be playing up here November 24th. My friends Ian and Joe are in this band called Tetsuo and they’re bringing along one of my favorite bands from Lincoln, NE: Rocket FM. I’m pretty pumped.

Also, Faultlines will be playing in Omaha on December 1st with Piebald and the Lawrence Arms. That’s 2 neat shows within a week of each other. Goodtimes. Goodtimes.

Hmmmmm, what else?

Union Suit still coming in the mail.

Pay Day a week away.

1 easy assignment for Creative Writing, still not done. I’ll do it tommorow…

I need to take my empty cans back. I have too many. Entirely too many. Damn.

Oh yeah.

Do me a favor.

Get a postcard.

Write a haiku on it.

Do not sign your name, leave the card anonymous.

I am not making this up.

That is all.

Have a nice day.

Today was Thursday.

It was busy.

I worked.

Now I am not at work.

I didn’t do very much today.

I’m only adding this entry because I can. Hahahahahahahaha.

I like having power over something.

Hilights from today:

Teaching my boss’s 3 year old son how to vaccuum (ha ha ha ha. Now all I have to teach him how to do is work the register, make change, and close up)

Spending only .65 on a bottle of pop.

Teaching myself Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “fortunate son” on the guitar. By ear.

And that’s about it.

So Dave from Massachussets conned me into starting one of these suckers up. So I did it. Dave, this one’s for you.

For those of you who know me, this is gonna be pretty much a history lesson.

I’m Bill. I’m 20. I’m from Council Bluffs, Iowa right over by Omaha, Nebraksa. It’s so close to Omaha that some people around here in Iowa City forget I’m from Council Bluffs completely.

Oh well. If you’ve ever lived in Council Bluffs then lived somewhere else you’d like to forget it too.

I’m a couple months into my second year at the University of Iowa. It’s been a swell time. I like it here a lot.

I like music alot. Some of my favorite bands are Drive Like Jehu, Dillinger Four, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cursive, the Beatles, the Faint, the Animals, Murder City Devils, Alkaline Trio, and Elvis Costello and the Attractions. Actually, there are entirely too many bands for me to list that I like. Too many.

I also like beer. Pabst and Firebrick are two favorites of mine. Pabst is a reason that I signed up for this. Aside from Dave’s suggestion. Maybe Pabst and Dave aren’t a good combination. Oh well. I forgive him.

I play the guitar too. I’m currently looking too start a band. If you’re a bass player or drummer, you should e-mail me. As long as you didn’t want to be in the Locust, Lifehouse, or Creed, we might have something in common.

I haven’t smoked at all today. Good for me. Though I really want one right now.

My mom is sending me a union suit. To see a picture of it go here: http://www.comfortclothing.com/unsuitformen.html

I can’t wait to have underwear like Dennis the Menace. Maybe I should walk around Iowa City with the back door half open. On second thought, that might be an invite for some action that I’m not ready for. Maybe I won’t.

Hmmmm, what else should I add? I started this entry at 11:17. Right now, it’s 11:40. That either means I’m a slow writer or I’ve drank more than I think I have. Hmmmmmmm.

Well, lets see.

Damn.

I’m really at a loss for what too write.

You should probably visit this webpage instead for entertainment: http://www.Keef.org

And that’s that for the #1 entry.
