I apologize for the possibly over-reactionary tone of my last entry. I was lonely and in the process of getting smashed. To quote some movie I've seen but forgotten what, "It's not an excuse, it's a reason."

Today was a better day as I think I've figured out a sweet scam for food from kroger. If you are familiar with Big K you know that when food is close to the expiration date they stick one dollar or two dollar off stickers on it to encourage someone to buy it. Well, thanks to the new computers that let you check yourself out, you could easily nab a lot of the stickers that are on stuff in the store (whether you plan to buy that item or not) then scan all the sticker-coupons in for big savings. Unless someone sees you this is pretty much fool proof, but I doubt they will be looking anyway. Not only that, but after you use the sticker/coupons you are supposed to deposit them in this little slot. However, you could very easily just keep them and use them again later (like I did today). Now, I haven't actually tested to be sure that the coupons work more than once (maybe they are numbered in the computer?) but I have a feeling they will. In that case, we are talking major savings on groceries every time I shop.

I have no money now because I bought luxery items like food for the cat and shampoo today. Why do I have to give the state and federal governments almost 1000 dollars in taxes when I can barely afford to eat? I'm going to turn into a fiscally conservative young republican, I swear.

It's hard to be in a band for a long time when you get negative one percent encouragement for it.
