Archives for June 2005

After 10 long ass years, I am finally done with the theater business. I cannot believe I even lasted this long. I started back when I was 16 changing the Marquee and misc. work around the Wanee Cinemas. I worked at that theatre until 98. I went to work at Marcus Cinemas while attending DeVry. I still worked at the Wanee during 98. When I came back for good, I started back at the Wanee and became an ass manager.

In 2000, I was going around and working at other theaters in the area. In October 2000, I made a decision to become a full time manager in GKC. I trained in Bloomington, IL and then moved to DeKalb, IL. I was in Dekalb until July 2003, when I left to pursue other options.

While I was looking for other options, I was approached by the same two who got me into the theater business. Bud needed someone to run the Apollo in Princeton, IL. I worked there from August til Novemeber 2003. I worked for Kerasotes Theaters, LLC from November 2003 – June 2005.

I have had a long journey with the theater business. What do I say to any one who wants to be in the theater business? DO NOT DO IT!!! I have missed birthdays, holidays, births, deaths, and parties. I would tell everyone to stay away from the business completely. I lost a lot of friends and yes I have gained a bunch. I would seriously suggest to any one who wants to become a manager to think about it. If you want to ask me any question, please email me. I will come back and talk about this business at a later date. Good Nioooooooooght to all!!!

I just realized that I will have no time to do anything before I go to Eden Prairie on Friday. I have not done my laundry or cleaned my place up. Ahhhhhhhhhh… What the messed up part is, I have to work in Galesburg due to my father going to buy some cars. I should have done my clothes earlier today. FUDGE!

Today, Heather and I decided to go to Peoria and look at wedding shit. We went to Wendy’s which was awesome and then we went to Target… Well… I guess I stole this fuckers parking spot… Did it have his name on it? No. Go Fuck yourself dude! I got there first. Snooze ya fuckin lose. Any ways, he says “Thanks for taking my spot!”. I then replied, “Anytime, DICK!” He then stares at me because he is thinking about his homosexual ways again. I made sure Heather got into Target alright and went to the back of the store. I figured this guy would go to the kids toys since he is an old faggot. I was hoping for a confrontation, but there was no luck. When we left Target, the guy kept staring at me like I owed him something. Fuck that old man… You want to say something and not back your shit up. If you want to say something, SAY IT! Do not say something and then think about how you wanted to do your buddies in the ass, FAGGOT. If you are old, you might as well shut your hole up.

Today Par was not even there to make any problems. Let’s put it this way, we had an amp go out during Star Wars. If Par would have been there, he would have fripped out about the whole thing. Since I was there, everything was kewl.

I cannot say that I am the greatest manager alive, but I can say that I am the clutch guy. I know that when I leave the theater, there will be a lot of problems. I will miss the people I have worked with, but I must move on with my life.

I now know that it is not just Par’s fault, but Big Gene’s too. He should have known better than to put Par in charge of this theater. Fuck em… He is just as bad as Par.

Only 6 days left at the theater. I am really nervous about starting about starting a new career, but 4 generations of automotive sales tells me different. I cannot wait until I can tell par to go fuck himself… I hate that guy.

So I was just watching WWE Raw and Matt Hardy’s theme music came on… Wow… I was going fuckin nuts!!! I could not believe that Matt came back!!!

And then… Nothing… It was a tasteless joke at the hand of Adam… You see, in REAL LIFE and not the wrestling storylines, Matt’s real life girl friend, Amy (LITA), fucked Adam Copland (EDGE)… I am not going to get into it, but he did it just for some cheap heat… I could understand if Matt did something, but he did not. I cannot believe that WWE would even do something like this… I am still pissed about the whole thing both Story Line and Real Life. I hope Matt Hardy comes back and REALLY BEATS THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF ADAM!!!

Happy belated Father’s Day!!!

I went out with Heather’s Dad, my Father (and soon to be boss), and Brian Schoutteet. We did ok… 1 birdie, 13 pars, and 5 bogies which equals +4. I thought that we did good, until we heard the the second place team got -12. Wel that pretty much crushed my spirits. All in all, the four of us had a lot of fun and that is what matters. I cannot wait to do it again!!!

From what I understand… Par decided to yell at some of the employees and drop some “fucks” at a couple of them… I cannot believe that a company like Kerasotes would even have the balls to leave a fuckin time bomb like par in the position of Complex manager. I hope once my time at the theater is gone, THEY HAVE THE FUCKIN’ BALLS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM!!! Yeah right… They need to grow a pair first…

Andrew

In two weeks, I am finally gone from the theater business. Soon… more things are going to better in my life. I finally got a project I have been hoping for a while. 86 will become full circle. I got something in the works… 86 will be ready for something big… AJDT!!!

Andrew

If anyone… I do mean ANYONE has some free time, go see Batman Begins!!! I think they should have this movie done FIRST!!! SCREW THE OTHER BATMAN FILMS… BATMAN BEGINS start over NOW!!!

At least I got to see a really fuckin great film before I left!!!

Andrew

Last night was ECW’s One Night Stand. WOW!!! The best PPV in the last 3 years. I cannot count ROH (Ring of Honor), because they are still the best wrestling show out there. But I would like to thank Paul Heyman for putting on one of the best fuckin shows!!! THANK YOU PAUL!!! I would like to say thanks to Vince McMahon for letting Paul do what he does best! Thank You Paul Heyman!!!

I thought that Par was going to cry when I broke the news. I seriously thought he was going to break down and cry. I have not told any of the employees at this point yet. I feel that someone will break the news before I get the chance.

I feel bad for everyone that I am leaving but I have to do this for myself and my future family. I know that if anyone was in my position that they would have done the same thing. Again I really feel bad for leaving a bunch great employees, but I need to move on and they need to move on also. Good Luck to all the employees that I have worked with over the last 20 months.

I went into work today and told my boss that I am giving my notice to the theater. My boss almost fuckin freaked out!!! I thought his dumb ass would start to cry. He then asked me why… I was like, you have got to be kidding me… I was about to last out at him, but I think telling him that I am leaving and telling him the real reason was the best thing ever… I was hoping that he tells me to stay at home for the next 3 weeks. FUCK THE THEATER BUSINESS… THEY ARE WHORES!

I went to see the Chicago Cubs host the Toronto Blue Jays. We had pretty good seats. We sat down 3rd base side and up about 25 rows. Wow… I have not been to a Cubs game in years, but I cannot wait to go again. It will be LIVE AS HELL!!! Oh… Cubs won 2-0. Thanks Dad for a great time!!! Aaron, Jeff, Papa, and I enjoyed ourselves!!!

Oh… One more lyric post before the BIG day…

She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction

From Chicago to Toronto
She's the one that they
Call old whatsername

She's the symbol
of resistance
and she's holding on my
heart like a hand grenade

is she dreaming
what I'm thinking
is she the mother of all bombs
gonna detonate

is she trouble
like I'm trouble
make it a double
twist of fate
or a melody that

sings the revolution
the dawning of our lives
she brings the liberation
that I just cant define
nothing comes to mind

She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction

She's a rebel, She's a rebel, She's a rebel, And she's
dangerous (x2)

We was asking about what is going down on Friday… Well, even he is going to have to wait until Friday night… I did give him a hint though… It deals with my life and the family’s.
