They Don't Call Me Champ Status For Nothin'!

late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
red light, can't stop so i spin the wheel
my world goes black before i feel an angel lift me up
and i open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white
they flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and i am gone

Well today I woke up... and since all my plans for lunch got cancelled... I thought to myself "Who would be sittin' at home... not doing anything at all?" ALEX! So I went over to Alex's house... and we jammed a bit, then we got some lunch at Rubios. Outta nowhere Alex said "How do pornstars take it up the butt? Man... they're my heroes." Little did I know that Alex was not, in fact, coming out to me... but just that poor with word choice. We had to leave fast... cuz this woman behind Alex had this little girl with her, and the woman would speak with a British accent sometimes, and sometimes without one. It was really peculiar. As I was waiting for Alex to finish, she leans over to the little girl and says "MY NAME IS GIZMO... WHAT'S YOURS?!" in this really scary robotic British accent. Alex just stops eating... and out of the corner of his eye, I can see him watching me. I couldn't stop smiling. I think she saw me... I jumped outta my seat and filled up my soda, where I continued to laugh. Then I walked out of there swiftly, and as Alex walked out... she said it again. Alex just busted up laughing.

So I went over to his house afterward, and we decided to be old school. We plugged in his Nintendo 64, and played WWF NO MERCY. Alex and I used to play this game a lot. We dominate at it. We later played some Wrestlemania. He kicked my ass... I was disgusted in myself.

When I got home, Joel and Michelle were already there. I had fun at night... even though I was being a dick to Michelle. I don't really know why I was. I wasn't mad at her or anything... I just thought it was kinda funny I guess? I don't get my humor sometimes.

Laura: If I could be any cartoon... I'd be Jessica Rabbit. She's fuckin' hot.
Tom: Yeah... but she has sex with a rabbit... that must get a little harey. What about Ariel? Now she's fuckin' hot... she has SEA-CUPS!
Laura: Yeah... she might be big up there... but she's all crabs down there. Probably smells like fish too.

Go out to lunch with Jillian and Laura
Go to work cuz I need money
Watch six episodes of THE NANNY
Play my drums
Watch FRIENDS tonight with a group of close friends

When people think they are certified doctors, and think they can diagnose mental problems that you have. Let's say, for instance, when people claim that you have ADHD because you bite your nails, play little drum beats whenever your bored, and when you change CDs frequently. Why don't you start looking at yourself for flaws, and stop trying to change other people... and pretending you know what the fuck you're talking about.

Yet another day of staying home. So on Wednesday Tina and I went to meet Lara and Grace for lunch. We went to Chili's. Then they dropped me off at Joel's house... and we cruised on over to Party City. So after we finished partying... Joel and I went to the mall to buy my mom some stuff for her Halloween costume. That was all in good fun. Then Joel and I watched some TV at my house. I think Joel was getting a little frustrated with my TV, cuz our cable kept cuttin' in and out... because of the construction or some shit.
At night, Paul called me and told me that his roommates weren't going to be there for a while, and invited me and Micah over to his new place. So we went over there, and then I invited Jillian and Laura. Paul later invited Fish, Cosgrove and Eric Preze. It was an interesting night to say the least. I was talking to Jillian, and all of a sudden, Laura grabs my hand, and pulls it to her breast. I didn't really realize what the hell had happened till everyone started laughing. (Thanks to your pillows Michelle, I knew exactly what I was doing.) Paul was getting a little upset. He kept sayin' "MAN! HOW COME TOM GETS TO GO TO SECOND BASE WITH YOU FIVE TIMES, AND I CAN'T ONCE!" Then Paul wanted too see Jillian and Laura kiss. Now I thought that was a little fucked up, cuz I mean... we're all friends, and that's not very cool Paul. So anyway, after they said no... Paul comes up with the idea: "How about I kiss Tom, and then you two kiss!" I just looked at him and said "NO FUCKIN' WAY IN HELL." Laura loved the idea... and she was all gung ho. But Jillian and I said no. Paul even played Jillian Rock Scissor Paper... with the loser kissing his or her friend of the same gender. Stupid ass Paul. I was quite confused, and someone flattered by the offer. He picked me out of Micah, Fish, Cosgrove, and Eric Preze. I got all flustered and started to blush. hehehe... but what did Paul pick me? And why was he so ready to pick me?

MICHELLE DEISS CIRCUMSIZED MY CD CASE

I didn't know that ESPN could say SHIT on TV, and show bare asses

A little longer than FIVE, but still... it's gonna be great

Tina- "*Some word ending in TIOOOOOON*"
Lara- "Oh Doctor!"
Michelle- "Tom, I am sore with you."
Joel- "If only you could drive as well as you throw pillows."
Patrick- "Single Shaka... Double Shaka... SUPER SHAKA!"
Scott- "AHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Alex- "I don't like CREED you douchebag!"

This morning, at 1:00am, I was talking to Ursula online. I ended up calling her, and I talked to her on the phone for over 2 hours! Great time if you ax me.

So another day of no school. I just found out that I won't have school for the rest of the week. Interesting really. Poor kids won't be able to Trick or Treat on Friday. I think I'm gonna try to start a petition around San Diego... and have Halloween moved to November 7th, so the kids can Trick or Treat again.

So I went to Party City with Lara, Alex and Tina today. Lara and Alex showed up with surgical masks over their faces. They thought they were the coolest things since little girls that stare at Alex at Subway.

Quote of the Day- "I'm not immature." -Alex Stapley

Tina and I then went to see our cousins Talia, Olivia and Paul. We watched Monsters Inc... much to my shagrin. Olivia and I voted for THE JUNGLE BOOK, and Tina and Talia voted for MONSTERS INC. We thought we'd let Paul pick, so Olivia held both of them up, and Paul went for JUNGLE BOOK. But Tina and her oppressive gynocracy wouldn't have it. She grabbed MONSTERS INC like it was the coolest thing since little girls that stare at Alex at Subway, and shoved it in the VCR. Damn PIXAR... takin' away from all that is Classic Disney.

On the way home, Anna Poponyak called me up, cuz she saw my truck on the road. She wants to hang out sometime. I miss Anna. I was actually thinking about her today... I don't really remember why. It was weird.

So I woke up at 7:30, so I could go to work with my dad. I go downstairs at 8:00, after the shower... and I look in the garage. My dad was gone. I called him up, and he said "Oh shit... I forgot!" He claims he was kidding. Yeah Yeah... I don't know if I believe that. So then after work, I picked up Michelle from her dorm. Her suite is sweet. Then we picked up Joel, and went to lunch... then saw Radio. I was all amped to see a football movie. That movie didn't have much to do with football.

Lara: "It's like they took the storyline from REMEMBER THE TITANS and added a retard."

Then after the movie, I helped Paul move into his new place. His parents are funny stuff.

Mr. Han: "When you're done cleaning your room... spray it with something. You're room smells."

Mrs. Han: "FUCK YOU PAUL. FUCK YOU AND ALL YOUR ASIAN TRICKERY."

So I wake up, and I hear about these fires. I didn't think much of it, which is pretty bad, I know. I watch some football... then I go down to eat breakfast. The whole family is talkin' about these fires. I guess it was a big deal. So then I went to Party City to go look for Halloween costumes with Tina and Lara. I think Tina should be Buzz Lightyear, then get really drunk, and be Buzzed Lightyear. And I think Lara should be what she originally was going to be, but with the addition of vampire teeth, and big hairy hands. That would be perfect.
Then we went to eat. I saw Garrett there, and I talked to him, in and out of the restroom of course.
Then we rented THE ITALIAN JOB. We went to watch the movie... but Tina nor I could figure out the speaker system. We could only get audio from outside on our deck... which didn't do much good, as you can imagine.
Then later Joel came over... and we watched about six hours of TV. That's a whole lotta TV. We watched the football game, then Sportscenter, then Punk'd, then Viva La Bam, then Bring it On, then Queer Eye For the Straight Guy. Michelle, I think Joel and I learned some valuable things from that show

It's gonna take a lot more than a tiny comb and shampoo to get rid of the STD that has hit me!

Scott... I think you may have a drinking problem.

Apparently you pronounce "CUE" as (kyoo)... bullshit

In the dictionary... under the word "CUE"... how would they display the pronunciation? Would they just show the letter (Q)? Or what about the word "TEE"? Just the letter (T)? Hmmm.... I wonder.

So after work this morning... I went to SOMA for the Saves the Day Soundcheck. I got there at 2:25, and waited. and waited. Len Paul (Satan) came out a couple of times, but only to see if people had to go to the bathroom. There was a quiet little asian guy sitting next to me. He was there to do an interview with the bands. A couple was to the other side of me. We chatted a bit. They were interesting. There was this colorful punk girl there that had I HATE MY VAGINA written on the side of her boot. Yeah... urination is quite taxing.

So at 4:00, about 10 of us got invited to go watch the Soundcheck. About 30 kids got there before me, and were there for the show. 5 1/2 hours before the show. That's hardcore. But I bet the sad thing is, they didn't even get to be in the front. I bet some big beefy guys pushed 'em outta the way.
So I was in the very front watching Saves the Day play ANYWHERE WITH YOU, MORNING IN THE MOONLIGHT, and HEY YA, among others. It was great.
So then I met everyone at TWC. We went to the show...

Moneen was pretty good. Taking Back Sunday was very good... I really liked the new stuff, especially "NUMBER FIVE WITH A BULLET."

But Saves the Day... oh my goodness. They were amazing. I was singin' along to every song, and the only song I didn't know, I was dancin' to. They were amazing. I've never seen a better set in my life. They were WOW. WOW. Like Christopher Walken WOW.

So yesterday... after lunch, Grace took Lara and I to Baskin Robbins to get ice cream. It was a hot day outside, so the ice cream was melting somewhat quickly. Lara and I got cones, and Grace got a cup. I got peanut butter cup, Lara got cookie dough, and Grace got mint chip and pumpkin. So as we're walking to the car... Lara's ice cream is melting everywhere- on her hand, on her watch, on her phone... EVERYWHERE. So she's getting into the car... and she tilts her ice cream cone unconciously, and drops the ice cream on the floor. I lean over, and start laughing. Grace was laughing too, and offered to buy her some more ice cream. But Lara wouldn't have it. She screamed out "FIVE SECOND RULE!" and picked up the ice cream, off the asphalt, and plopped it back in her cone. Then she starts lickin' it. Grace was in complete disgust, and I couldn't stop laughing. She then looked down and said "SHIT!" There was a big chunk of cookie dough still on the ground! So she bent down, and picked it up... and ate it. Lara... even though you turned 19 that day, watching you do that... reminded me of you when you were still a long haired, Grease lovin' fool.

Joe talking about the Chicken Stars at Carls Jr., and continuously referring to them as CHICKEN FISH

Joe trying to pick a fight with Jack Manning, but continuously reffering to him as Jack Black

Joe walking in the middle of the street, and yelling at people for almost hitting him

Joe trying to write things on people's car windows (Micah one-upped him by drawing a swastika on a guy's back window)

Joe saying bye to Jillian, but as she drove away, he tried to jump on her car, and ended up smacking into the side of it, and breaking the tail light guard

So it's 2:00am on Saturday. I just got home. So around 9:30 Joel, Micah, Jillian, Joe and I left for this little shindig. We got there... and the place was bumpin'... no frontin' yo. We saw Paul and Peter there, but they were busy workin' their asses off. Poor saps. I also saw Silvas and Cosgrove there... so that was a nice suprise. I ran into Rosanna and Cameron again... nice girls. So anyway, about five minutes after we get there... Joe comes running up with a cup of beer, and FIVE shots of vodka. He gives one to Micah, and has four himself. After that, he left again... got three more shots, and had those... then put three shots in a cup and had those. Then he took two more shots that night. So in all... Joe had 12 shots of vodka. I must say, Joe is quite the funny guy when he's drunk. Micah was drinkin' some beer... but Jillian, Joel and I decided not to have anything. It turned out to be for the best. Eventually Joe gets lost, and Jillian and I go to look for him. I then go look for him myself, but he ends up bein' with Jillian. So Joe and I walk Rosanna to her car. Boy, that's when the hijinks ensued. After that, I went back inside, and on my way inside, this black girl starts dancing with me. I believe the term for the dance she was doing is "fadunk-a-dunk dunk," where she shakes her ass in to my crotch area. I told her I had to go... then a guy gets in front of her... and starts dancin' with her. So I was like a cookie in a backwards Oreo... and I decided to leave. She seemed pretty occupied. After we walked Jillian to her car, we started headin' back to the party, but we saw some cops outside, and they flashed their lights on us... so we turned around quickly and walked away.

c'mon... they speak in Arabic, and they talk about the capital of Syria...

So today I went out to lunch with Lara and Grace. It's Lara's birthday today. Swell gal that Lara. So then I went to class. My teacher gave me a 100% on my homework, even though I got a question wrong. I went up to him after class and corrected him. He laughed at me and corrected it. I lost 20 points. I walked out of class with my head held high. (In all fairness... there was this girl in front of me with a really low cut top, and a mini skirt.)

Then Tina picked me up from home, and we went to see Lara and Grace. We gabbed a bit, then Tina, Lara and I went to see SCARY MOVIE 3. I realized another thing I hate. When people are in a movie theater... and they say things after the jokes are made during the movie. Like for instance, there was a picture of Harrison Ford, involved in a joke, and this guy goes "Haha... cuz that's HARRISON Ford!"

Yeah... how would you like it if I slapped that dick outta your mouth?!

Chocolate Milk @ The Stapley Residence (Experation Date: 10-29... yet it smelled like sour orange juice. It also kinda smelled like marijuana and cheese)

The Smell of Teeny Whores at Torrey Pines

So I woke up at around 10, cuz I didn't have school. I watched some TV, then I learned how to play TITLE AND REGISTRATION by Death Cab For Cutie on the guitar. Then Paul called me outta nowhere, and asked me if I wanted to go to lunch? I guess his frat bros were in class. So then we had lunch, and Brian came along with us. He's back to a redhead. I don't know what changes more with that kid... his school or his hair color. So then I went to work, and stayed there for a whole five minutes. I decided I'd rather pick up Alex from school. So that's what I did. I went to Torrey Pines and picked him up. While I was waiting, I saw Jesse Lax, Mike Bollar and Andy Yang walk by. That was weird. Then Alex and I went to Alex's house for a bit. Then I picked up Lara, then the Tritons, and we went to see Cursive and the Jealous Sound. I kinda wish I woulda saw Matt there... but he was in the front. No big deal... I can see him next week I guess.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LARA. Lara... I don't know what I would do without you in my life. Probably have to find my own boyfriends! Oh wait... uh... nevermind. Well I'll tell you this much... I wouldn't know about a lotta bands! LOVE YOU LARA! YOU'RE THE BEST! KEEP UP THE GOOD DRIVIN'!

Well I don't have school tomorrow! Anyway... today. Went to school. My math teacher told the class that he was gonna pull down his pants in front of his class tomorrow. Interesting. Then I went to eat lunch with Paul, and then had an Econ presentation. I made my sexy face during the presentation for the hell of it. I think Peter saw me. I know this one girl in my class that I kinda like saw me. I don't really know why I did it, it was weird. After that, I went home for a bit, then I picked up Joel, and we met Matt at RIMAC. The three of us went to see BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE. Then we went to visit Michelle. I like visiting Michelle. She always seems so happy to see me. It makes me feel all warm and fussy inside. Thanks Michelle. When I see Joel, I know we are both happy to see each other... but since we are guys, society tells us that we cannot show emotion like that. So we have to talk about sports... and grunt, and scratch ourselves inappropriately. It's sad really.

So earlier this morning... I placed a note on my parents bed, along with a concert calendar of mine, and below the note was my 100% math test. So this is what my dad wrote next to the concert dates:

10-25 Saves the Day, Taking Back Sunday go to church on Sunday
11-03 Thursday go to work on Thursday
11-06 Jimmy Eat World do not associate with Jimmy
11-07 Straylight Run, The New Amsterdams I would rather drink Amstel
11-08 Ganeshfest Is this a Jewish Fest?
11-12 Matchbook Romance Small and fiery
11-14 Brand New Brand new what?
11-21 Blink 182 I blink more
11-26 Good Charlotte Yeah, I like dark chocolate

And you people wonder where I get my wit from!

I got a call from UNAVAILABLE this morning... so I pick up, and it was my own answering machine! It said that I must delete a message that has been in my folder for one month today. What was the message you ask? It was from Michelle.... and it went like this.

"Cuz I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby. yeah I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby. Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me... oooooh ooooooh." sung by Chris Carabba himself.

Thanks Michelle! I can't wait to pick you up tomorrow!

I didn't wear any pants in the morning
I like a couple Something Corporate songs... not better than their previous CD though
I did a favor for my dad and got off work 30 min early
I wrote a really bitchen drum beat in class
I realized how sad I am... cuz I don't remember laughing that much today. That's life!

I woke up to an empty house... which only means one thing. NO PANTS. I mean, why wear pants when nobody's home? Who the hell is there to impress? So I did some homework, I watched some TV... nothing outta the ordinary. Micah came over... and we went to school. Well, we went to our first class, and ditched our second. We don't talk about anything in that class... it's too mundane. So I went to Lou's to buy the Something Corporate CDs for Tina, Lara and myself. Good deal... $7.58!

Then I went to work, then I came home and went to Nate's house to work on an econ project. Wow... what a boring day I had.

Chris gave me a Blink 182 Promo Package
Joel and I are gonna start writing a TV Sitcom
Joel and I were offered beer by the hostess
Joel and I were offered beer by the waitress
Joel and I are switching around the letters R and S in our conversation

In the morning I am forced to watch THE NANNY and MAD ABOUT YOU. They aren't too bad I guess. I prefer Mad About You. It's the kind of inane humor I enjoy... somewhat like Seinfeld, and like how Joel and I make each other laugh. So I went to school today. Nothing really exciting. After school, I went to my truck, to go meet Joel and Michelle for dinner. As I walked up to my truck... I noticed something on the windshield. It was a Blink 182 Promo Package! I got into my truck, and opened the package, and read a note in there from a guy named Chris saying "HEY... I SAW YOUR TRUCK, AND THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE INTO THIS. GOT ROOM FOR ONE MORE STICKER?" and inside was this huge Blink 182 sticker, and another smaller version of the same sticker, a stencil of the new Blink logo, and a vinyl of their single FEELING THIS and an upcoming song called VIOLENCE. That was the coolest thing ever. Thanks Chris! So I went to meet Joel and Michelle and Michelle's dorm. I went in there, and met Brandy. She seems very nice. Funny too... SHIT ASS FUCK is takin' over the world. I can feel it. Feel free to use the term loosely- if you jam your finger in a door... if you did poorly on a test... if you are telling people the only two purposes your anus really has... anything! So Michelle didn't end up coming to dinner with us... she was busy sewing and stuff. It's cool though... cuz I get to hang out with her on Thursday. So Joel and I went to California Pizza Kitchen. We had a ball. Then we had pizza...

I just talked to Scott on the phone for an hour... gabbin' like the ol' days

Crispin Glover
Ron Livingston
Norm MacDonald
Dave Chapelle
Scott Bourne

So Joel, Lara and I went to go see TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE at the La Jolla Theater. My question is... why the hell does this theater have so many damn 50 cent pieces? I mean, everytime I go there... they give me a 50 cent piece! Why?! It boggles the mind! Anyway... we went there to see the movie, and after watching the half of the first preview, the beginning commericials start up. A man later informs us that we must move theaters, cuz something got messed up. Then we go to the other theater, and then they start the movie- about 20 minutes into the movie! So we just see these five teenagers in this hippy van, and this one bloody girl. Why is she bloody? Who knows?! We got free coupons for a free movie, drink and popcorn for the next time we go as compensation.
I think the movie would have been better if there was a girl named Heather in it... and the killer woulda ripped off her face, and made a mask out of it... and call himself Heatherface. It woulda been comical.

Money-Saving Tip of the Day: Bring your own can of Coke to the theater, and stick it to the man! Fight the power Lara!

When Michelle couldn't, for the life of her, decide between cornbread and mixed fruit
When Joel pointed out the janky bass player
When we ditched Laura at dinner
When Camille gave me a physical, but didn't have me turn my head or cough
When I figured out my halloween costume

So I woke up this mornin' and went to work. Work went by pretty fast. Well, faster than usual for some reason. Then after that, I picked up Joel from his dorm... and we shot pool. I won, he won, I won, he won... he won. Typical. I paid $10 cuz I have a gambling problem. I'm just like the Movielife. The best money I spent all day was that $1 on the jukebox at the pool hall.

Billie Jean by Michael Jackson
White Wedding by Billy Idol
Jesse's Girl by Rick Springfield

Then we went to my house, and watched some World Series baseball. Then after, we went to pick up Michelle and went to the Epicentre to see Double Clutch! We met Jillian, Laura, Anthony, Camille and Natassia there. It's nice to hang out with Jillian outside of band practice. We watched the band... and had good times here and there. Fun stuff. Then we went to IHOP, then Joel & Michelle & me went to meet Tina and Lara at Coco's. Then I dropped off Michelle at her dad's house, and Joel at his house. Good day (mate)

Tina, you are the worst TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES FAN ever! Master Shredder was the bad guy, or the antagonist, if you will. The rat, and leader of the Ninja Turtles is Master SPLINTER! Shredder has spikey metallic objects all over him... how do you not see the difference? He shreds things with his metal! He doesn't splint them! If the Ninja Turtles had a broken finger, Splinter would give them a splint, and Shredder would shred them up! It's easy!

For some reason... my fuckin' blog doesn't work!

Work is no fun...

MY PERSONAL RAT PACK

Big Ben, from WILLARD
Socrates, from WILLARD
Mickey Mouse, from his mother's uterus
Me, from BEN AND ME
Tracky, my computer mouse

So today I went to math class, which was pretty painless I guess. Then I went to go get another estimate on my truck. This one was overall cheaper... so I'll probably go with that one. The hit that my mom did was the cheaper one, which I really don't get.

Then Tina called me, and I went to meet her at Lara and Alex's house. We watched Bend It Like Beckham. That actress is India's answer to Brian Denehee. Crazy movie... Lara thought there shoulda been more sex. Typical Lara. For a movie that has the name Beckham in it... Beckham sure wasn't in it a lot.

Then we dropped Alex off at Courtney's house (a guy) and met Joel to go see RUNAWAY JURY. But that movie was sold out. But the trip wasn't totally fruitless, because Joel and I got free tickets to go see an advanced screening of SCARY MOVIE 3! Then the four of us went to Red Robin, after we walked around UTC for a bit. We then decided to go rent a movie. After much deliberation... Kracker Jack'd got passed up for WILLARD, because Lewis from Blockbuster Video recommended it. He told us that Crispin Glover sang "Ben" by Michael Jackson at the end of the movie. We were sold. Well, all of us except Tina. She really wanted to rent THE LIZZIE MACGUIRE movie. She sulked all the way home.

We then watched WILLARD, and I must say, I was suprised. It was a great movie! The plot twist, the suspense, the intrigue! This movie had it all! Even a suprise ending! Who knew mice were so smart? Did you know that in New York City the rats outnumber the humans, 7-to-1? Interesting tidbit.

Scott... why the fuck haven't you called me? Have I been replaced up in SC? I thought that's what we did. Call me when you read this... cuz you're never online, unless it's extremely late, or as I like to call it... "Prime Time for Stoners." So stop staring into that sheet of aluminum foil, and gimme a fuckin' call.

When people mishandle my CDs
When people talk about sports and try to sound like they know what they're talking about
When people talk about music and try to sound like they know what they're talking about
When people hate feet for no apparent reason
When people criticize my driving

Listen.

So this morning these people came into my house and started measuring things. They started measuring my room and everything! I mean, the only thing that ever gets measured in my room is my ... Hey Tina, I wouldn't use that green ruler if I were you.
Then I gave Micah a drum lesson... went to Subway, then school. After school I went to work in Lara's place at the office of Grace. I opened all this mail. Five days worth. They get so much damn mail! I couldn't stop listening to the new DEATH CAB CD. Great stuff! Then I got from San Marcos, about 7 min north of my house... to Joel's dorm in exactly 30 minutes. I'm an animal on the freeway. It was like a really instense game of FROGGER, unless you talk to Joel. He would say it's like an unnecessarily fast race. So Joel and I bought some concert tickets for Michelle, Lara, himself and I. Then I went home. Damn Yankees... did you see Rivera crying and playing dead? More like New York Jankees! Thank you thank you... I'll be here all week.

Micah: So Peter, are you doin' something this weekend with your frat?
Peter: It's called a fraternity, not a frat. Do you call your country a cunt?"

Why is it that Black History Month is the shortest month of the year? Damn White Corporate America.

Give Micah a Drum Lesson
Work in Lara's Place
Buy Concert Tickets With Joel
Watch People Clean My Floor
Watch FRIENDS, SCRUBS, WILL & GRACE, and ER

i believe in medication and i believe in therapy
and i believe in crystal light
'cause i believe in me yeah
it's so uplifting
fuck yeah
i barely have motivation
they say i suffer from a lack of seratonin synapses
they happen too
infrequently for me to be functioning properly
i took the pills i took the advice the panic stopped
but i'm still not right
racing thoughts and wasted time
it's the same old story-line
this is my nursery rhyme and it goes:
i believe in medication and i believe in therapy

Took a math test today. Thought it was pretty easy... but I'll see when I get it back. After that, I hung out with Paul and Peter, the usual. I went to pick up Grace from the airport with Lara at 9:30, and we got to hear about Norene "Last Name." Crazy stuff

Sam, don't listen to Tina. I enjoy hearing about your day, and your bodily functions. I wanna know everything! I wanna know everything from the weather, to whether your cuming or going!

Do you wanna know what's wrong with America these days??

THE SNOOZE BUTTON

Why would anybody invent something that would purposely make people late? That's like inventing a button that if pushed, slashes your tire. Would that be a big seller? The snooze button just lets you sleep for ten more minutes. Now, if the person wanted to wake up at 8:10, instead of 8:00, then the person would have set their alarm for 8:10! You shouldn't give somebody that is half asleep the power to choose what time they should wake up. That's why you set your alarm when you're fully aware of what you're doing.
Snooze buttons also sacrifice a well balanced breakfast. If people sleep in, and wake up late, the first thing they will go without is a good breakfast. They'll probably eat a TWINKIE or something, instead of cereal, fruit, toast, and low fat milk. Another necessity that is sacrificed is showering. People are in such a hurry, they may not have time to shower. And we know that's not good.

So in short, the snooze button should be banned, cuz as we all know...

IF YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE!

and everybody knows it.
so i'm proposing a swift orderly change.

cause behind its door there's nothing to keep my fingers warm
and all i find are souvenirs from better times
before the gleam of your taillights fading east
to find yourself a better life.

i was searching for some legal document
as the rain beat down on the hood
when i stumbled upon pictures i tried to forget
and that's how this idea was drilled into my head

*Title and Registration* Death Cab For Cutie

So today, I picked up Peter from school, and Micah and I introduced him to Juanitas. That was some good stuff. Then we went to class, and after class... I worked. After work, I made a delivery for The Wine Connection. I got home at 8, and right as I got out of my truck... Joel was pulling up my driveway. I was a little suprised by this, but my mom was in the garage, so I played it off like a pro. Joel and I watched the DRAGGING THE LAKE DVDs, Issues 0 and 1. They were pretty entertaining I'd say. We also watched the run.home.jack. filming... we need some practicing. Joel and I also made like mice, and ate cheese. We sampled different kinds of cheeses, and fancy cheeses at that. Maybe we made like french mice. Then I had a helluva time making Top Ramen for Joel and myself... I'm not much of a cook! I also got a hankerin' for some pineapple, so I cracked open a can of canned pineapple. I hadn't eaten pineapple in a while, so I decided to eat some. After that, I got a little sad... cuz I that to myself *What would Spongebob think of me if he saw me eating a pineapple?*

"The Future Freaks Me Out!" anybody else? Well, this video won't really help you... but Motion City Soundtrack just came out with a video for this song!

It's a weird video... but Justin dances!

Since Joel is so excited to know what I did today, I'm gonna blog... so I don't have to tell him the story, then tell everyone else the story via blog.

Well this morning I went to Ocean Body and Paint to get an estimate on the damage of my truck. Apparently when that guy hit me pretty much ruined my chrome bumper and the center step panel. Also, he made my bumper bend toward the ground. So if it were a man, it would be "less excited than the typical Tundra" if you catch my drift.

If I do decide to let that company fix my truck... they're gonna need it for FIVE DAYS! What in the hell? How can I not have a car for five days?

My mind wanders as I'm trying not to fall in love with you
'Cause every time I awake I ponder on my mistakes of
What I said, it is always my esteen that I sure lose
Playing those stupid games as I always end up chasing you

TOP FIVE ENTERTAINING THINGS TODAY

When Zady and I took shots of ketchup
When Zady and I were using the term "sour strawberry candy" instead of penis
When baby Paul kept tryin' to hug this little girl... Pimp Paul Pimp
When my uncle told me if I was gonna get a lip piercing... I should get my lips pierced shut
When my dad got extreme road rage cuz some guy passed him, so he followed the guy with his hi-beams on, only to have the guy stop in the middle of the road... and they would go back and forth with this... till my dad passed him in a turning lane.

Around 2, my family went up to Fullerton cuz my mom's cousin had a kid, and she was getting baptized. We missed the actual baptism, and we just went to the reception party. I hung out with the family... Zady had to take his sister to some park, so I went with them. We went to Guitar Center to buy picks. Then we went to McDonalds, then back to the party. Fun stuff!

run.home.jack practiced today! (I don't know why I spell it like that) We recorded three songs on my camcorder... *Repitition* *Flashlight (which I'm gonna try to rename SEVEN DAYS)* and *Untitled as of right now.* quite productive!

Double Dare
Wild and Crazy Kids
Guts
Nick Arcade
Legends of the Hidden Temple

I don't know the actual name...

My baby fits me like a skin tuxedo
I want to drill her with my pink torpedo

*SPINAL TAP*

So the Tritons came to visit us at work today. I'm sure they were bored as hell... hey, I was bored as hell. After that, I went to see Brian and Chris. I saw a little more of Brian than I wanted to, but it was fun nevertheless. After that, I went and picked up Patrick! Awww Patrick, I really missed him. I saw him less than a month ago, and now I'm gonna have to go longer without seeing him. But I'll be OK. At least I get to talk to him online. Patrick, Tina, Michelle, Joel, Kristen, Matt, Paul, Micah, Rick and I went to Red Robin and watched SPINAL TAP at Patrick's house. It was fun stuff. I only got 4.5 hours of sleep last nite, so I'm tired.

Well it's 3:30 a.m. and I'm about to go to bed. I need to wake up in 5 hours! I talked to Ursula for over 4 hours online! It was great... we did Saved By the Bell trivia, regailed... and everything in between.



(SHUT UP LARA)

so, sing me something soft
sad and delicate
or loud and out of key
sing me anything
we're glad for what we've got
done with what we've lost
our whole lives laid out right in front of us

Are You Afraid of the Dark?

So I was on my way to go see Joel... and I was listening to Coheed and Cambria. During my favorite part of the song... I was singing of course. "Whoa oh! Uh Whoa Oh Oh whoa oh oh. Oh Oh oo wha---!" I was rear ended! And that isn't prison lingo I'm talkin'... some guy hit me! So I turned off my music... then I said to myself... "Why turn off the music?!" so I turned it back on, and continued with the *Whoa oh! Uh Whoa Oh Oh whoa oh oh*s. Then I pulled over, and got out of my truck. The guy gets out, and I say "Are you alright sir?" and he says "Wow, your truck barely got damaged!" What the hell? Yeah buddy... I'm fine. I just got rear ended, but yeah, don't ask how I am. FUCK THAT SHIT. I am fine, and my truck got some dings in it. So those marks that I got in my bumper from that damn trailer hitch from the jetskiis are gonna get fixed. Sweet.

After that, I went and hung out with Joel... then went to Talia's birthday party. Aww... family get-togethers are so much fun. STUPID MARLINS... a run down? That's bullshit. Christopher Walken needs to teach you a thing or two about a Rundown!

So today, at the end of math class... our teacher said "Today is a very special day. It's a full moon!" and so he told us a story about these native american tribes. He told us about the paiutes, and the cherokees, then he told us about the Kowia (Ko-Wee-A) Tribe. And then I turn to Paul and say "Hey Paul... isn't that whewe yo pawents awe fwom?" And he says out loud. "NO... THAT'S KOREA." Then the whole class stops, and turns to Paul, and starts laughing. Even the teacher laughed. Funny kid that Paul.

I live in California
I listen to the same music as you do
I don't like butterballs
I didn't refer to Green Day as "Green Gay"
I don't look like Beans from Even Stevens

I liked how Joel made titles for each of his blogs... so I decided to ask him, and I made one myself.

Pointless Fact of the Day: I'm chewing Dentyne Ice right now, yet it tastes like I just ate Cheetos. I haven't eaten Cheetos since the road trip!

Anyway, Lara just informed me, via blog, that she's takin' me backstage to meet Brand New!! (maybe) Well thank you Lara. I'm touched that you would choose me. If I had the opportunity to meet Green Day (again), C&C, The Suicide Machines, Brand New, and a lotta other bands, I would choose you! But I don't know if I can accept that invitation! I mean, could I really do that to Nic? Even though he looks like Beans from Even Stevens... he still should have the opportunity to meet Brand New. I think he likes them.. I mean, he loves Bon Jovi, and Brand New and Bon Jovi are pretty much the same, right?

Well Joel wants to hear the story of me, my friend, and the girl in 8th grade. Now Joel, this is somewhat similar to what you're referring to, except he never went out with her, and she didn't even like him. She thought he was annoying.

So for the sake of the people involved in the story... we're going to call my friend Rick, and the girl Sarah.

So in 8th grade, Rick liked this girl in 7th grade named Sarah. This girl lived on the same street as our other friend, let's call him Qui. Errr, I mean QUIncy. Quincy liked her too, but that was a couple years before this incident. So Rick asked me to help him get Sarah. He started calling her up, and talking to her, while I was on the other line, listening in to their conversation. I would then critique him, and tell him what he did wrong, and right... and all of that jazz. Then for some reason, the TRUTH OR DARE craze fell over the school, and we would play TRUTH OR DARE all the fuckin' time. All of the middle school would play. During recess, in class... after class, on the phone at night- all the time. So anyway, Sarah would play TOD with us. So one day, Quincy dared her to kiss somebody in our group. She picked me, and Rick got kinda pissed off. That night, he made me call her, and find out who she liked. He was listening in on the line, and right before she said she liked me, Rick's brother came into the room, and made a bunch of noise, so Rick didn't hear when she said she liked me. So he had no idea. She would then try to make him get the point that she liked me, so she started holding my hand and walking around school with me, and kissing me and such. He then got pissed off, and told me that he wanted to kick my ass. I remember one day we were sitting in class, and he threw a textbook at the back of my head. I think I punched him in the stomach, then hit him over the head with the same textbook. Kinda malicious I guess. A week later, there was a Sadie Hawkins dance at our school, and she asked me to go with her... which just made him more mad. Then we went and all that shit... but then I realized that what I had done was extremely fucked up. Maybe it was a Full House episode that set me straight- I don't know. But I ended up leaving her, so I could save my friendship with Rick. So of course, Sarah got all pissed off at me, and told everyone in the school that I was a total asshole, and I had a bent weiner, uhhh... I mean, awww shit. If only there were some way I could take that comment back! So Rick and I remained friends... and I saw him a couple months ago. As for Sarah, she eventually forgave me, and cried her eyes out when I left for high school. She wanted me to call her everyday, and E-Mail her and all that stuff. We stayed in touch for a bit, but she moved to Hawaii. I saw her two years ago at Quincy's house. It was pleasant, I'd say.

So yes, that's the whole transformation. From that dick, to the kid you see today. I'd like to think I'm not as big of a dick now... but hey, you're the judge.

So today, Micah came over in the morning. I gave him a drum lesson... then we went to lunch, then class. I stayed awake during both classes! I was so proud of myself. After class... Micah, Peter, Peter's friend Daniel and I went to take our online quizzes. Yeah, we took 'em together... what's the big deal? I got a 70% on one of 'em... and a 93% on the other. I'm happy with 'em. Then Micah and I went back to my house, and I finished up the drum lesson. Micah is coming along quite nicely! Then after that, the Tritons came over... and so did Kristen and Lara, and we watched FRIENDS, SCRUBS, WILL AND GRACE, and ER. Not to mention the DEVIL IN JERSEY CITY video! LET'S FIRE IT UP! HA HA! HA HA (those last two HAs weren't me singing... they were actually me laughing, and the only reason they're capitalized is cuz I'm just that funny)

So Joel had to go and do it again... he had to go and bring up the fact that I was a complete prick in 8th grade. Yes... I'll admit it. I was a horrible kid in 6th-8th grade. I was part of the popular group, that everyone tried to be a part of. There were seven of us in this group, which later dwindled down to 5 in 8th grade. We were complete dicks. We'd pick on these two kids in particular. One of them was the smartest kid you'll ever meet. He's in Stanford now, and works as a submarine technician. He actually designed a submarine that the Coast Guard is planning on using! C'mon! Well anyway, he was extremely smart, and he was the perfect Christian. He didn't hate anybody, and I guess that really pissed us off. We'd pick on him, and tell him that he was an idiot, and he would tell us that he loved us, and that he forgave us for what we did to him.
The second kid was the son of the music teacher. He had the highest voice in our school, girls and pre-schoolers included. We'd always pick on him. We'd throw balls at him, and pick him up and throw him in mud... and hit him in the head when playing BUTTS UP and just all this really fucked up shit. I was never the kid who did any of the malicious things, I never really physically hurt either of them, but I'd laugh, and I'd call them names... which is just as bad.
When I went to high school... I realized that I didn't want to be like that anymore. I realized how fucked up of a kid I was, and I decided that I didn't want to pick on people, and I didn't want to make people feel like shit, and I didn't want to be that guy that hurt people. Sure, I was friends with all the girls, and all the guys thought I was cool, but that's definitely how I want to get to that stage. I don't want to be cool by making someone else look stupid. That may have been what I wanted back then, but I tried so hard to change all of that, and I think I've done a fairly decent job.

So, my song of the day is appropriate to the way I'm feeling right now... for once.


And all our sins come back to haunt us in the end
to hang around and tap us on the shoulder
and smile
silent
it's all implied
"you'll die trying to live this down. you might as well forget it."

**Mistakes We Knew We Were Making** Straylight Run



TOP FIVE THINGS I DID TO IN MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT MAKE ME A DICK

I'd pick on kids and call them gay
I hung out with kids that were mean to others, and I just laughed
I'd steal people's homework
I'd steal answers to tests
There was this girl that my friend liked, and he asked me to help hook them up together. What happened was that the two of us got together instead, cuz she liked me, and I fuckin' went for it... cuz I'm a dick like that. If you really want me to get into the whole story... I will in my next blog. Lemme know.

Emogame 2: Lara... you'd love it... Joel, I think you'd enjoy it... Tina, you wouldn't bother yourself with it... and Michelle, you'd be torn.

THE CAST OF EMOGAME 2

BRETT DETAR- THE JULIANA THEORY
TRAVIS SHETTEL- PIEBALD
GEOFF RICKLY- THURSDAY
Conor Oberst- Bright Eyes
Matt Skiba- The Alkaline Trio
ADAM LAZZARA- TAKING BACK SUNDAY
CLAUDIO SANCHEZ- COHEED AND CAMBRIA
JENNY LEWIS- RILO KILEY
JASON GLEASON- FURTHER SEEMS FOREVER
Garrett Klahn- Texas is the Reason
MICHELLE NOLAN- STRAYLIGHT RUN
BEN GIBBARD- DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE
JESSE LACEY- BRAND NEW
GRETTA COHN- CURSIVE
Blake Schwarzenbach- Jawbreaker
TIM KASHER- CURSIVE
CEDRIC BIXLER- MARS VOLTA
Guy Picciotto- Rites of Spring

So far, what I've gathered from it... is you have to destroy what is wrong with today's society... that's right::: THE CAST OF FRIENDS!

The bosses I've killed so far are: Gene Simmons, John Mayer, Dave Matthews, Anna Nicole Smith, Anna Nicole Smith's G-Spot, Gene Simmons, Jerry Garcia, The Cell Phone Guy at the Mall, Shredder, Avril Lavigne, Carson Daly, etc.... there are so damn many!

So today I went out to lunch with Lara and Grace. We got a late start, cuz Grace was in a meeting. So they dropped me off at school, and I went to class. My math class got out 40 min early, so Paul and I went to the Dome. On the way there, Paul saw his friend Daniel, a fellow pledge for SAE, and I met him... and Daniel drove us to Ralphs. We went to pick up job applications, cuz since the employees are goin' on strike, Ralphs is gonna pay $12-17 an hour for SCABS. So we filled 'em out at Mr. Taco, then went back. While Daniel and Paul turned in the applications, I went and bought some scratchers. I won $10 from one of them... and I pocketed $5, and bought five more tickets. So then Paul and I went back to school, and waited on this park bench for an hour. This girl, Daniel's friend that we met at Ralphs came and talked to us for a bit. It was sad, cuz she came up to me and introduced herself and Cameron, and she said "Like Cameron Diaz, but not as pretty." So I said "Oh, c'mon now!" and we talked a bit... I told her that I was a drummer, and she said that she has a thing for drummers... but I was like, WHO DOESN'T?! She asked me if I could teach her how to play sometime. Then we talked about this sorority party she's attending. It's a COWBOYS and INDIANS theme... and I convinced her to go in just chaps and a cowgirl hat. Should be fun. Then she left, and Paul and I were sitting there... and there are these women sitting at this park bench across from us, and this woman says to her friend "I REALLY LIKE YOUR BREASTS!" Then Paul and I just stop talking, and we look at them, and then at each other... it was quite strange. They were at least 40... somewhat odd if you ask me. Then this girl let out this little scream, and we looked at her and she said "There's a bee chasing me." Paul and I just kinda looked at her, and assured her it was gone. Then as she was leaving, I said "Paul, look at her ass." Right in the middle of her ass, was this piece of cheese from pizza... it was so sad. I didn't wanna mention it, cuz she might think I was perverted. I was gonna go grab it off, but then she'd probably slap me. But hey, at least I woulda got some free cheese! So after Econ class... Lara picked me up, and we stuffed envelopes at her office, then we went to see Talia! It was her birthday today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TALIA!!!


SONG OF THE DAY

Good eye, sniper
I shoot, you run
The words you scribbled on the walls
With the loss of friends you didn't have
I called you and the time is right
Are you in or are you out?
For them all to know the end of us all

TOP FIVE CDs IN MY CD PLAYER

The Early November- The Room Is Too Cold
Blink 182- Buddha
Karadios pt. 6
Thursday- Five Stories Falling
Blink 182- Chesire Cat

Do you ever just feel like a failure? I mean, I try and try to help, but in the end I can't... and I wasted all my time trying to help, only to find out that I didn't do anything, and all my efforts were worthless. It's not a very good feeling. Maybe I should just stop trying to help people:::

Well I just got finished talking to Ursula... one of the nicest people you'd ever meet! I was good friends with her in my old school, St. Francis... and I just started talking to her again! Peter Kavadeles and her both go to Sonoma St, and they started talking, and he said he went to LCC, and she asked him if he knew me, and now I talk to her online. We listen to the same music... it's great! I'm goin' to a concert with her when she comes into town! I can't wait!!!

So I went to Lou's today with Micah to buy the new Coheed and Cambria and the new Death Cab for Cute CDs. We went to Juanita's before... and that place has some pretty good food. Matt called me when we left Lou's. He was in front of my truck at Juanitas! So we walked back, and we saw Matt! We talked to him... we weaved in the streets... talked about life in general (the topic, not the MXPX CD.) Then Micah and I went to class. Pretty boring and uneventful. Then I went to work. After work I'm going to visit Michelle. Joel, I'd like to visit you too... but I hafta be home in time for dinner... and plus, it would just be an inconvenience to make you walk down six flights of stairs... just to say hi to me for a minute, then have me leave. But if you wanna chat Joel... you know my number! So in honor of Joel... I'm gonna rate my CDs!

The Early November- 9 out of 10 (Something That Produces Results and Baby Blue are amazing!)
Coheed and Cambria- 8 out of 10 (I would have given it a 9, but their songs are longer than my d------ uhhh... let's just say they're really long, alright?


TOP FIVE VIDEOS I WATCHED TODAY

Taking Back Sunday- You're So Last Summer
Vendetta Red- Shatterday
MXPX- Everything Sucks
Jason Mraz- You and I Both
The Pennywise video

Now, I'm gonna admit... I didn't really like any of these videos. The Taking Back Sunday video has a man who I think is FLAVA FLAV singin' up on stage... which is just really stupid. Then the Vendetta Red video is just too busy. The MXPX video is lame, cuz it's pretty much Mike longing for this girl because she left to go get groceries. He's sad, and he draws pictures of her, and sculpts her head out of clay... it's just bad. Then the Jason Mraz video just doesn't make any sense, and I just don't like Pennywise!

So today I woke up and did math homework. I got to class... and Paul wasn't there. I got out of class 40 min early... and I called Paul but couldn't get a hold of him. So I went to do my homework for Wed. Then I still couldn't find Peter and Paul. So I went to get lunch and I hung out with Lara and Grace. I met up with Peter in Econ class.

After that I went to meet Chelsea at Starbucks. God, I realized how much I enjoy just sitting there talking to her. I missed Chelsea. She's good stuff.

After that we went to Pei Wei to see Brian for about two minutes. I miss Brian too. He's no longer a red head... but rather black. But it looks good on him. Kudos and Chewy Granola Bars to Brian.

THE EARLY NOVEMBER's new CD "THE ROOM IS TOO COLD" is just right...

So I got my package from Drive Thru Records today. I was quite excited. Last month, Joel and I each ordered THE EARLY NOVEMBER CD from drivethrurecords.com and they each came with an autographed poster. But damnit... I opened the package, and I only got one CD, and one poster. Shit

***Did you know that some words meant different things back in the day? Did you know that the word "ejaculate" used to mean TO SCREAM EXCITEDLY? Like this one time, I was reading this Hardy Boys book, and it said

"Look out Joe!" Frank ejaculated.

And I thought to myself... WHAT?! I mean, he musta been pretty excited!

Joe: "Jeeze Frank... I woulda ducked! Heh... I mean, you really are a hardy boy!"

So I didn't do a whole lot yesterday. I slept a lot, and watched a lot of sports. A lotta football and a lotta baseball. I swear, I was going to go insane. I don't like not leaving my house. I didn't leave my house till 8:30. Mark came back, and we met Lara and Alex, and went to In N Out. Then we went to meet up with Tina, Grace and Grandma at TGI Fridays for dessert. I've found myself hanging out in La Jolla a lot nowadays. I think that's gonna be my new hangout.

Michelle... just so you know, I'm sore with you.

Joel... I'm sorry that I can't go to the Spitalfield show. I feel bad, cuz you asked me this a while ago, and I agreed to it... but now I gotta go to my cousin's birthday party. SORRY BUDDY. But I've got some good news! But I already told you that.


TOP FIVE THINGS THAT DIED YESTERDAY

The Chargers Playoff Hopes
The Raiders Playoff Hopes
The Braves
The Twins
The Family of Flies I destroyed (Seven). They wouldn't stop fuckin' flying around me... and my and my quick reflexes caught and killed seven of those fuckers.


ONLY FITTING FOR THE SONG OF THE DAY


The world has turned and left me here.
Just where I was before you appeared.
And in your place, an empty space.
Has filled the void behind my face.

I talked for hours to your wallet photograph,
and you just listened.
You laughed enchanted by my intellect.
Or maybe you didn't.

You remain, turned away, turning further every day....

So yesterday after I dropped Michelle at her mom's house in the morning. (She didn't squeak all nite... I was a little bummed.) Then I went to see Talia's soccer game, which she won. Then I went to work... picked up Alex, then came home. Alex and I then went to Hollywood Video to see if I could sell some of my video games, but apparently I have to be 18 to do that. I don't know why I didn't piece that together, since I went to Guitar Center on Monday, and tried to sell my snare, and the guy told me the exact same thing.

So then Mark came over to my house. Mark is my cousin from Michigan. He's a really funny guy... he just got married this summer, and the whole family went to Michigan. Fun times. I spoke at his wedding... and that was interesting as well.

So then, since the LCC/De La Salle game never happened... Alex, Mark and I got Joel... then Lara and went to Rubio's... then went to see THE SCHOOL OF ROCK.


TOP FIVE NFL TEAMS THAT DISAPPOINT ME, BUT DON'T SUPRISE ME

Detroit Lions
New Orleans Saints
San Diego Chargers
Jacksonville Jaguars
New York Jets



Do you wanna know what I think of you?
'Cause you're not the way I thought you should be
Do take back what you said
It's time to fix, it's time to fix your head

And now all alone, one's less than two
I've never been better off living lonely
To listen to what you say
I couldn't care less of what you say

***Toast and Bananas*** Blink 182

Scott will join soon...

So in the morning... I woke up and went to lunch with Lara and Grace. After that, I was planning on having band practice, but wouldn't ya know... it got cancelled! So I ended up staying at work with Lara and watching Strong Bad movies. Then I helped her stuff envelopes... then we went to my house. Tina, Joel and Michelle met us over there... and we were off to the show. But first, we went and shot pool. I did horribly... then we went to Pat and Oscars to eat. I saw Chris Smith and Joe there... nice folks. Then Joel criticized my driving some more... usual stuff. Then Lara and Tina complimented my driving... which balanced everything out. Then we went to the HLAR show, but we didn't end up watching them. I felt really bad too... cuz I know Michelle wanted to see them, but she didn't want to make everyone else have to pay three measily dollars. I didn't really even want to see them, I just wanted to take Michelle to see them, cuz she missed 'em when they came last month.

So we went to the arcade... Joel beat me in air hockey... then we got ice cream. Lara got in a fight with some guy, and almost got Joel and me beat up. Then I dropped everyone off... and right now Michelle is sleeping on my couch.

So I didn't have band practice... I couldn't watch PTI and ATH, I lost at pool, I lost at air hockey... and I didn't see Hot Like (A) Robot. Interesting day I'd say...

TOP FIVE THINGS THAT MADE US LAUGH LAST NITE

Lara screaming at the cat
That crazy bitch in the parking lot
Lara and Tina's "special face" picture
Joel
Michelle

Song of the Day...

But before you give an answer think of somewhere you'd rather be
All that I have twenty six dollars and the keys to a Cadilac
All that I know
Drive all night go anywhere you wanna go
All that I want and all that I need
All I wanna know is do you wanna come with me

***A Song For Everyone*** Fenix TX

That's the full story, with a diagram to go along with it!!!

So this morning... I found something to watch at 9:00!!! HANG TIME!!! Anyway, I went to Guitar Center with Peter, Paul and Micah. I wanted to exchange my snare again... but the manager convinced me to sell it on EBay, cuz I could make more money that way. So then the four of us went to Subway, then went to class. Our two classes today were boring as hell. We didn't do ANYTHING in either of them. NOTHING! After that, I went to good ol' Esteban... the old stompin' grounds. I hung out with Tyler and Tre for a bit... just like old times. Then I went to my drum lesson... probably my last one ever. See ya Shea!

I then picked up Matt from SDSU and he and I went to go see THE ALBUM LEAF at the San Diego Center For the Performing Arts. We got there, and this crappy band called BARTENDERS BIBLE played. They were a country band without a drummer. Not that great. So we went walkin' for about an hour, and got some dinner. While we were at Panda Express... I was talkin' to Matt, and all of a sudden he says "Oh my gosh... those two birds are having sex! So yes Lara... birds do in fact have sex! I saw it with my own two eyes! So then we went back to the show, and watched the Album Leaf. They were quite good. I usually don't dig the trippy music, but they are very talented.

Since I found the CD (It was in my CD Player in my garage)

This morning... I woke up and did math homework. There is absolutely nothing at all on TV in the morning anymore. Now that Saved By The Bell, The Cosby Show, Family Matters, Family Guy and Futurama are gone... TV sucks. I was watching Baywatch this morning. And it wasn't a Baywatch solely focused around silicon. No, it was a bad Baywatch. Ya see... Mitch Buchanan (played by David Hasselhoff... yes, the same David Hasselhoff that's a Superstar in Europe) was trying to save these two boys lives, cuz they were drowning. Well, neither of them could swim very well... so Mitch went to save the closer one. Then the other one drowned. He couldn't find this kid for four minutes. Then he finds him... and the kid can't breathe, then he goes into a coma... and all that shit. And of course, the mother shits a brick on Mitch's face... and yelled at him for not being able to save both kids. What a heartless bitch. Then Mitch flipped out, and started saving people that didn't need to be saved.

Anyway, after that, I went to lunch with Lara and Grace. Good times... I think it's gonna start being a weekly thing. I do quite enjoy the luncheons. Then Lara and I went to PetCo, cuz Lara wanted to know if birds have penises. I think Lara thinks that birds are mammals... but that's just me. We did however see Red Bearded Dragons mate. And boy were they mating. It looked like an old married couple... the one on top was movin' all around, and the one on the bottom didn't move an inch.

Then I went to class... then I studied for our Econ exam with Paul and Peter. I think I did pretty well on it. After that, I went to DRINK PIZZA and EAT ROOT BEER. (Ask me about that if you care.)

After that I went to the gas station and met up with Lara, Tina and Grace. and we all went to see Talia, Olivia and Paul. We ended up watching HOLES, which is quite the thinkin'-man's movie if I do say so myself. Lara thought it was about aliens. She thought the movie was an alien porn. Dirty Lara...

So Micah and I went out to lunch today, then we did homework and went to class. The classes weren't really that exciting. Then I went to work, and after work, I picked up the Tritons and went to the Rooney show. But on the way to the Rooney show, I got lost. I never get lost on my way to Canes. It was sad. I wasn't paying attention. SHIT ASS FUCK! The opening band was PALO ALTO. I didn't give them much of a chance, cuz I was too fixated on the baseball game. It's the NLDS for Joel's sake! (For everyone's but Joel's sake... NLDS= National League Division Series.) The next band was THE SOUNDS from Sweden. I quite enjoyed them... even though I was with Michelle and Joel, and they both made it abundantly clear that they don't like female vocalists. Hmmm... aren't I in a band with a female vocalist?

Rooney was pretty good. I liked all the stuff they played... especially cuz they played IF IT WERE UP TO ME third.

OK, now... since the month of September is over, that means we have a new SONG OF THE MONTH for October!
