WOW! Christmas Came Early For Me!!!
I just talked to ASCAP (American Society of Composers Authors and Publishers) They pay out royalties to musicians. Apparently they did not have my current address on file and couldn't pay me. I had no idea I was earning anything. So I submitted a change of address notification and need to send in a written request for my funds and it will be sent out in a few weeks. I inquired "so how much is owed to me?"

OVER $3000.00!!! THAT'S THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!

I am so getting drunk tonight!

6. Happiness = getting drunk
Sadness = getting drunk
Indifference = getting drunk


However,
Anger = getting stoned

Need to calm that aggression down. :-)

9. Getting Stoned = Out of Commission
I need to be happy to go anywhere near that stuff or I will majorly bad trip. I can't imagine being pissed and firing up a bowl - would only intensify my pissed-offness but that's probably just me.

You're in Columbus. :hi:

I'll watch the news tonight and see if some musician gets a little too wasted from a windfall. :)

11. Thanks all!
Of course I'll have to sit on it for a while since I've never had to pay taxes on extra income before so I have to figure out how to file that. It feels really good like years of hard work finally paid off!

This is what I earned it for me:

13. Good for you, one small suggestion
Celebrate with someone who could use the company or meal. You will feel much better. And don't forget to put away 32% for the B* kitty.
