Oh There's More... 

Hmmm... as if my day wasn't bad enough, Joseph just IMed me. There's no snow in Michigan. It's not going to be snowing when we go... just a shitload of rain. FUCK RAIN.

Am I done??? Nope... there's even more Lara. DIMOS IS CLOSED UNTIL THE 5TH. THAT'S FUCKIN' MONDAY. NO FUCKIN' FRENCH TOAST... NO FUCKIN' 17 1/2s... What a great year this is gonna be.

Someone Wanna Cheer Me Up? 

So I was in a pretty good mood today. I went to work... and Alex was there. We didn't fight once. I was suprised. Work wasn't too bad today. Nothing major. After work I went and got myself a new phone. I was kinda sad that all my pictures had to be erased, and I was kinda mad that my three ring tones that I paid $1.99 each for are all gone. It sucks cuz I just paid for one last night.

We (Alex and I) then went to Lou's, and I got SOMETHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT, because they got it back in stock. YAY. After that I got gas... played the lottery... won a $1, and went to Tilly's. I got two more pairs of pants for my trip to Michigan. Patrick called me cuz he wanted to do something tonite, but I wasn't sure if I was gonna be with Ursula or not. So I called up Ursula... and that's when it happened. She told me that her parents didn't want her to go to the show tomorrow night because they didn't want her to be on the streets past midnight, because there would be a lot of drunk drivers on the road. I was pretty sad. I've been looking forward to this show for over a month, and it was gonna be that much better because she was going to be with me. I didn't let her know I was upset though, and I asked her if she wanted to go to dinner with me tonight. She said she'd have to ask her parents, and she'd call me back. I got a voicemail from her. My fuckin' phone didn't even ring. She told me that she couldn't go out tonight, because she's been out a lot lately, and she has to run errands with her mom.

So I saw her on the 20th... then I got sick. I couldn't see her for about a week. I call her on the 27th, and she was busy. I can't get a hold of her until today... and she can't see me tonight, and she can't go to the show tomorrow night. This is fuckin' great. I'm leaving on the 1st to go to Michigan, and the earliest I can see her is on the 8th. Even though I've pretty much given up... I'm not giving away her ticket, nor am I giving up her spot in my truck. She's gotta know that she can always come back if she can.

FUCK IT... HAPPY NEW YEAR.

You Only Disappoint the Ones Who Don't Believe... 

Woke up this morning feelin' fine. There's someone special on my mind. Last night I met a new girl in the neighborhood. Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin' good.

OK OK... enough song and dance. So I had breakfast with the fam. After that, I watched some football. I was pretty sad because Indianapolis was playin' pretty poorly. I would watch the game, and they would play like shit. So I fell asleep. I woke up, and they were down 17-3. I got all sad and went upstairs to lie down and watch other TV. I'd turn on the game, and Indianapolis had scored a touchdown. But right when I turned it on... they fumbled the ball. So I was officially bad luck. I put back Who's The Boss, but then I thought to myself... WAIT. I don't believe in bad luck. So I watched the game... I watched Mike Vanderjagt kick that game winning field goal... and I smirked. I smirked cuz I'm gonna beat Joel in that bet. I'm gonna be right.

Then Tina invited me to hang out with her and Sam. We picked up Sam, and we went to eat at Chili's. It was cool. hehe

Then we went to buy Sam some hair dye. She wants to be a blonde again, because blondes have more fun, or so the senial lady behind us in line says.

BLUNDER. Sam's hair turned orange, and then bright orange. She ended up dying it back to the color she woke up with. $20 later, it was the same. Poor Sammy... I heard people experiment in college, but come on.

Picked up Michelle and met Joel at Starbucks after dinner with the family and Carrot Top... I mean Sam. Then we went to BORDERS, to look for Half Baked and/or Super Troopers. Oh well. No luck. So we rented Poolhall Junkies. It was a great movie. One of my favs in a long time actually. I don't remember liking a movie this much in a while. SWEETNESS.

From Autumn to Ashes

Straylight Run
Sum 41
Waiting for Autumn

Fall Out Boy- Dead On Arrival 


Suprise Suprise... 

I don't know anything about our family. Tina, is this news to you?

Went to work in the morning. After work I picked up Matt and we ate at Especial Norte. I pass that place everytime I go to Lou's, but I never went in. It was extremely busy... but the food was pretty good. We then went to Lou's... but they still didn't have my Get Up Kids CD. I'm just gonna hafta special order it I think. Oh well.

Then I picked up Joel... and we went to Guitar Center. I bought a new head for my snare, that I ended up breaking yesterday. Yeah... I already broke it. I just got it for Christmas, and I break it about 12 minutes into playing. Ain't life grand?

Then we went to shoot pool. 3-3. I was OK with it... at least I didn't lose.

After that we came to my house, and then got some dinner. Then came back to my house. We did nothing the entire night. It was pretty pathetic. Even Lara did something. I guess we procrastinated... cuz she called, bored outta her mind, and we didn't have anything for her to do; so she made some plans of her own. That Lara is a mover and a shaker. She's goin' places... so stand back everybody.

Got the Boot! 

Joelle and Sam have gotten the boot. That's what happens when you don't blog at least once a month.

My Prayers Go Out to Scotty and His Grandmother 

Back at work. I'm still sick, but I think my dad is more sick, so I'm trying to lighten the load. I do agree with you Scott about the music thing. Music has become such a huge part of my life these past three years. Ever since I started playing the drums... music has taken over. I go to concerts non-stop. I spend about $1,000 a year on concerts/merch at concerts. I buy about one new CD a month. Joel burns me about a CD a month. I play my drums everyday. I'm feeling a little better now, so I'm not sweating profusely like before, because I don't have a fever, which means I can play my drums again. I got new heads on all of 'em... and I tuned them up all nice. They sound really great. I'm really excited about them. My snare head wasn't right... but hey, I'll manage. That's what musicians do I guess. If a head breaks in the middle of a performance, or a string... they gotta adjust. I will too. Oh yeah... back on topic. I myself LOOOOOVE making music. I can't think of many other things that help me express my creative side like drums. I think that's why I want to learn how to play the guitar and the bass and the piano so badly. But I just can't bring myself to take away time from my drums and focus it on the other three instruments. Hell... I can manage on the bass... it's not really too hard. The guitar, well... I plain suck at that. But not as much as I suck on the piano, that's for damn sure.

If people don't want to play music, then hey... that's their choice. I myself can't imagine not being able to play music. But some people don't want to dedicate the time and effort it takes to be able to play. That's fine too.

I'd like to welcome Joel to the group of people that now own a guitar. The list includes...

Zady Ari (who was just given a Fender Telecaster for his Birthday, to go along with his acoustic)
Christina Bishar
Tom Bishar
Scotty
Michelle Deiss
Paul Han
Alex Stapley



Scott, when are you and I gonna go to a party where we can drink, so I can turn to you and say, "Jim Beam me up Scotty!"

The Cure- LOVECATS 

Tsssssssssssssssssss

In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying... 

So I woke up this morning, and took a final online with Peter. Peter saved my ass. I owe him big... even though he won't have any of that. Then I took a shower and picked up Michelle. We went to Tower Records to finish up my Secret Santa... and I did a little Obvious Santa shopping as well. After that we went to work. We didn't stay long, because I am feeling like shit, and everyone wanted me to go home. I'm not even going to work tomorrow. I feel bad, because I think Michelle cleared her whole day so she could work, and then I took her home at 5. I'm sorry Michelle. I really hope I didn't get you sick. Apparently I already got my dad and sister sick. Sorry to those two. I came home and watched a whole lotta TV. I slept for an hour though... which was good.

I had five people tell me how good orange juice is for me. Zady told me first, then my mom, then my grandmother, then Tina... then Gene chimed in. He drinks about a cup everyday. Healthy guy... healthy guy. I watched some FRIENDS, some SportSCenter, some OFFICE SPACE. It was good I guess. I enjoyed 'em all.

Wanted to hang out with Ursula today... but that's not gonna happen. I'm too sick, and I don't want to infect her too. Even though she's probably the one that got me sick... but I have no proof of that, so I'm gonna just assume that I didn't fully get rid of whatever I had.

I was supposed to go to a party tonite at Joe's house... but that got cancelled because I'm too sick to leave the house. This really puts a damper on my Christmas Break. Not to mention that Scott left today, and he won't be back till the 30th. I'm leaving on the 1st, and he's leaving for college on the 5th, so I will only really be able to see him on the 31st and the 1st... until Spring Break. I still don't know if I'm goin' up to UCSC during Spring Break Scotty... I gotta see how things work out. Something smells like fish (?)

I can type out GODDAMNIT... I just don't say it. You get my drift. Plus, what if some thick headed individual was reading my blog, and wanted to listen to Hot Hot Heat. Do you think they'd know what Oh G*dDamnit was? Depends on how thick...

So Sick So Sick of Being Tired... and Oh So Tired of Being Sick 

Another day at The Dub. I was playin' Mario Tennis last night, and all of a sudden I just started coughing. I've been coughing ever since. It's a pain in the ass. My throat doesn't hurt or anything... but my whole body is aching. Probably because of my lack of sleep. I probably am gonna stay home tonite. I just feel like shit. I need my rest for my 8 hours of work and my 2 hours of shopping tomorrow. It's not gonna be pretty. Thankfully Alex is here today to pick up my slack. I picked him up this morning because I had three deliveries to make. The kid helps, I'll admit that.

We picked up pizza for everyone at this one hardcore Italian pizzeria off of Lomas Santa Fe. These guys behind the counter are all these Italians with these thick Brooklyn accents, and they have a Derek Jeter jersey framed on the wall... next to a Frank Sinatra picture. This guy walks out of the store and starts tellin' this one customer how bad it is to get flour in open cuts, because it won't heal for a month, and if you get it in your eye, then it'll be red for a month... and that if you're a real asshole, you'd throw flour in somebody's eye. But I've seen Full House, and the episode with Papuli, from Greece... Papuli, Jesse and the girls get into a flour fight. I don't think Full House would portray people being assholes... so I don't know how accurate that was. I think we're gonna hafta do another MONEY FOR MICAH and find out.

Afroman- Colt 45 


Asinine Question of the Day 

Who thinks they could eat a pound of chocolate cake?

Colt 45 and Two Zig Zags... Baby That's All We Need. 

Went to work this morning... but not before Tina and I picked up Sam and went to Lou's. Had some Christmas shopping to do. Some names on the list to cross out... you know how it is. Work was intense. Jillian came by to gimme my Christmas present cuz she isn't gonna be in town. She's great. I love her. And this is obviously sincere, cuz she doesn't read this! She stayed with me for about 15 minutes... then left.

After work, I went to shoot pool with Joel at the usual... Pacific Q. But there were too many people there... so I didn't play my usual nostalgic tunes on the jukebox. Too bad.

Then we went to pick up Patrick and went to the mall. I went to buy my secret santa and my obvious santa gifts... but ended up spending $97 on myself. I sure do know how to spend money wisely. Ehhh... I got plenty of it cuz I'm workin' so damn much. I hope there aren't any muggers reading this.

Then the three of us met Scott and Micah at the Brewery in San Marcos... had some dinner, and off to Joel's place to play Mario Tennis and watch the new DTR DVD. Don't worry Lara... I didn't watch most of it.

There's a reason it's called Mario Tennis

TOP FIVE HOT HOT HEAT SONGS 

Bandages
Get In Or Get Out
Le Le Low
Oh Goddamnit
Talk to Me, Dance With Me

Asinine Question of the Day 

Do you know how hard it is to talk on the phone and try to make a blog entry that is remotely entertaining to read?

Le Le Le Le Le Low... Le Le Le Le Le Low... 

So today work was boring. I got my truck. It was really busy actually. Sam showed up, which was fun. We haven't lost a step. We picked up right where we left off, with pratical jokes, and just plain jokes, and little quips here and there. It's great.

Then I dropped off Michelle, and went home. I went to work on a test with Micah and Peter and Paul, but I found out it was due on the 23rd. But silly Paul already started it, so I got ready... and went to his place and helped him out. But I don't know anything, so I left and picked up Ursula.

So I picked up Ursula and her cousin Michelle, and we went to pick up Joel. We then went to the Homegrown show. I had a great time with all of them. I'm glad to I got to see Ursula, and I haven't seen little Michelle in a while! Joel, always nice to see him. Joel and I got physical in the mosh pit. Some fucker in the mosh pit ran into me, and I pushed him straight to the floor. ah well.

We went to In N Out afterward. Then I dropped everyone off. I'm on the phone with Scott now... and we're gabbin' away.

HOT HOT HEAT- Le Le Low

Asinine Question of the Day 

Why do I act differently around certain people?

PRETTY GIRLS MAKE GRAVES- ALL MEDICATED GENIUSES 

there's the kid with the golden arm
he admits to the forest fire
that he started up from the lack of
something better going on

There's A Kid With The Golden Arm... 

Today was jampacked with action. In the morning I dropped my truck off at the dealership cuz it it was HOPPING WHILE STOPPING... or at least that's what the guy at the dealership wrote down on the paper he handed to the mechanic. I got a good laugh out of it.

Then Tina and I picked up Michelle and we headed down to TWC. 10 hour daze. 10 hour days kill me. I'm just in so much pain. I pick up about 50 boxes a day. Each box weighs 40 lbs... and it's just such a pain to pick them up, take them somewhere, and put them back down. The only thing that keeps me going is thinking about 8:00. I found myself voluntarily taking out the garbage today three times... because it means I got to get away from all the fuckin' chaos that is The Wine Connection: Holiday Edition. With all the shit that goes on... with my dad going from place to place like a madman, and me trying to ask him simple questions, and him not being able to answer them, and my aunt ordering me to do things, and Gene being called Owen... it's just so hectic. It's nice to see friendly faces like Michelle's and Tina's. It makes everything seem a little less crazy.

I had to make a delivery today. It was to an address off of Carmel Country Road, off the 56. I was supposed to make the delivery before I picked up Alex from school. Tina gave me directions to the place. They seemed simple enough. Left on Carmel Country Road... 12750 CC Road, #113. I get to this fuckin' apartment complex, and I can't find 113. I get out, and walk around... and nothing. I walk up to this one lady who is pushing a stroller to ask her for directions... but then as I get closer, I realize that she's pushing the stroller, but there isn't a fuckin' baby inside. It's a doll. A fucking doll. She's about 30 or so, and she's pushing a doll around an apartment complex. I quickly dashed to my car and got the fuck outta there. I picked up Alex, and then made the delivery afterward. Turns out the fuckin' woman worked at a place in THE DEL MAR HIGHLANDS shopping center. You'd think that she'd fuckin' mention that when she asked us to deliver her something. I didn't even tell her that she needed to refrigerate the cheese in that basket. Let 'em rot. Let 'em rot straight to hell.

So then after work I went to dinner with Michelle, Joel, Scott and Micah. After dinner, we went to my place and Jason joined us to watch EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS. That's a fuckin' strange movie. It was a lot more edgy than I assumed it would be. Crazy Adam Sandler.

Back to work tomorrow. Rise and shine at 8:30 to shower and leave to get my truck. Then I'm gonna get Michelle and we're gonna work for 5 hours. Then I'm gonna drop her off... come home, take an online final with Micah, Peter and Paul... then get ready to see Ursula. I'm really excited about seeing her again. I think we'll have a lotta fun this break. I can just picture Lara now... swaying to and fro, as she slaps her knee and laughs aloud because she is thinking of dirty thoughts right now. Aw that's why I love her.

Correction 

I have seen Jason Mraz four times... good call Lara.

TOP FIVE BANDS I'VE SEEN THE MOST IN CONCERT 

Something Corporate- 5
New Found Glory- 4
Off By One- 4
Homegrown- 3 (4 After Saturday)
Larger Than Life- A whole lotta times with Lara

Jimmy Eat World- Authority Song 


''Rohypnol... Works Like a Charm." 

So this morning Tina and I picked up Michelle for work at The Wine Connection! The Dubba Dubba Dubba Dubba WC is a lot more fun when there are people like Tina and Michelle there. Don't get me wrong... I talk plenty to my dad, my aunt and Gene/Owen... but still, it's nice to have them there. I think I tend to piss Tina off at work. Work today was non-stop. It was so damn busy. And it was only a Thursday. FUCK SATURDAY. Saturday is gonna be the busiest day EVER. I'm not really looking forward to it. I hafta work 10 hours tomorrow... and then five hours on Saturday. Shouldn't be too bad I guess. Tina and Michelle will both be there the whole time.

I hurt my back today... fuckin' carrying all these damn cases. I'm the only one that can do it though. Fuckin' sucks.

Went to the SoCo show too... SoCo is SOMETHING CORPORATE. I guess it could be SOUTHERN COMFORT to all you drinkers out there. But anyway... during the middle of the RX Bandits set, Scott and I were watching the band, then these three guys and a girl came up to us and asked us to skank. What the hell does that mean?! Apparently it's this crazy ska ritual that these Slycap wannabes dance to. This rather foul smelling individual kept putting his arm around me, asking if I would skank with him. I regretfully declined.

Something Corporate was pretty good I guess. I wasn't too into the set, cuz I've seen them more than any other band... it's all the same after a while. Jason kept yelling during Konstantine. I was laughing my ass off... but all these little girls around us were trying to listen to the song, and got a little miffed.

Off to bed. Work beckons in the morning.

TOP FIVE REASONS DANIEL KICKED MY ASS AT NCAA FOOTBALL 2003 

Cuz he sacks me if I even attempt a play action
Cuz I get flustered when running the option, and pitch it no matter what
Cuz I always pass to the left, and he caught on (239 receiving yards w/ Andre Johnson)
Cuz he got four fuckin' picks on me with one guy
Cuz I suck ass at NCAA FOOTBALL 2003

The Get Up Kids- I'm A Loner Dottie, A Rebel 


THEY'RE CONVINCED THAT'S WHAT KILLED HER! 

Today, after I took my finals... I came home. I then hung out with Joel and Scott. We did the Starbucks thing... and we played Mario Tennis. I have noticed my improvements in Mario Tennis. I'm finally up there with Joel and Scott. Believe you me, the first couple times I played with those two... OOHHHH, they'd kill me. But now, we all give each other runs for our money.

I laugh a whole lot in the company of Joel and Scott. We all have these senses of humor that just mesh so well, I think. We all get each other's jokes, and we can all take the insults and the jokes. Sometimes I think that other people that hang out with us cannot take them as well... and mistake us for assholes. Hmmm... maybe there's something to that.

KELIS- MILKSHAKE 

Sorry Michelle

YOU COCKSUCKER... 

So I picked up Michelle yesterday at 11:30, and we went to work. First we went to pick up lunch at Rubio's for everyone. We went to the one in Del Mar, cuz I thought I was gonna get hair dye, but then Lara informed me that it would turn my hair orange. She tried it once... and I do remember her hair being orange. I wouldn't talk to her in public for like a month.

I couldn't find a parking spot there. I would yell at everyone, and call them all COCKSUCKERS. I felt a little bad about that afterward. So we went to work, and worked for 7 hours. Michelle is a wrapping animal. I went to pick up Alex too. Cool kid that Alex. After work, Michelle and I met up with Patrick and Joel, and we went to play racquetball. I forgot how much I like racquetball. It's a fun sport. I wanna get into it again. I enjoy it. Michelle hit Patrick in the goggle. She laughs a lot during racquetball.

After that, we all went to get food for me, then we went to my house for some TV. Patrick and Joel left around 2:30, and Michelle and I went upstairs. Michelle went to sleep, but I went to my room, where I found an IM from Ursula. I ended up talking to her for over two hours on the phone. I have to finals today, mind you. I didn't sleep till 5:30, and I woke up at 10:30. Michelle and I grabbed donuts, and now I'm off to my finals! Wish me luck!

I FINALLY THOUGHT OF IT!!! 

I finally thought of the worst CD that I purchased this year! It would have to be Switchfoot's THE BEAUTIFUL LETDOWN. I'm not a big fan of this CD at all. I'd put it in to listen to the first song, then I'd take it out, and hide it underneath a Karadieos, so I wouldn't have to see it.

Asinine Question of the Day 

How cool is the name Aristidis for my new pink bunny?

TOP FIVE MOMENTS OF THE NITE 

Peter being invited into the RELAXATION ROOM for five minutes by a sorority girl
Watching the Eagles win
Peter stuffing his pockets with packets of TAZO TEA from Starbucks
Paul stuffing his sweatshirt pouch with hot chocolate packets
Daniel making some funny comments to Paul

THAT'S MAH BOY DOGG!!! 

So today I went out to lunch with Grace and Lara, and Tina joined us today! It was like a great big party! We went to Soup Plantation... and had a blast. The workers at the good ol' SP were on strike or somethin'. They were outside passing out flyers, asking us not to go inside. There was a pile inside of the restaurant of these flyers... so we just put them down over there.

Went back to PTS and ordered my Christmas presents. I'm gonna be a drummer on a new and improved set... with headphones for my hearing!

Then I went to Paul's place to do some homework, but my group already did it... so we watched Toon Disney, and sang THE CIRCLE OF LIFE together.

We then went to econ and met up with Peter. After class the three of us hung out with Daniel for a bit. Then we went to go see Patrick (Paul and Daniel's roommate) perform with his choir. He was really good... and there was this rapper there that was really good too. Everyone there as pretty talented. Paul and Daniel were holdin' signs and screaming. We got some attention.

Then we went to the Field House for FINALS FRENZY, where we got some hot chocolate and tea and chips and watched Monday Night Football. Daniel and I talked sports, and Paul and Peter watched us. Fun times

Patrick Culp- The Train 

This is Paul's roommate's song

Alkaline Trio- We've Had Enough 


TOP FIVE WINES IN THE MZ CELLAR 

Diamond Creek
Opus One
Rudd
Ducru
Araujo

AWWW CRAP 

So after work yesterday, I hung out with Joel. We shmoozed... like usual.

This morning, Paul called me up and invited me to breakfast. We met at Denny's. It was Paul, Peter, Daniel, Jared, and Holly. Daniel is Paul's roomie, Jared is Daniel's best friend from HS, and Holly is a sorority girl I think. We talked about things... shot the breeze, like we do.

Then Paul and I went to Chris's house to pick up a craps table that The Esteban Street Hustlas made in the summer. It looks pretty nice actually. Well Paul's pledge class needs to buy their fraternity a present, so they bought the table off of Chris for $35, which is an extremely good deal. So we loaded it up in my truck, and dropped it off at Paul's place. I then went off to work. Work was extremely cold today, because I was in the cellar, doing work for mah boy Mark. I like him... he's good people. Christina Bishar thinks so. I had to pull about 40 cases out of his lockers for him. It was grand. Luckily Alex came and helped me half way through... so that was a lot easier. Man, fish, rabbit... whatever the hell that kid is, he's funny stuff. Even though he's horny as hell, and loves to scream the word FUCKING while singing along to Alkaline Trio, he's still fun to be around. "That's it, we've had enough. Please turn that fuckin' radio off..." He may be a little sore that I kicked his ass at Madden 2004 last nite, but oh well.

So we dropped off the cases, and then I dropped Alex off at home. Got some much-needed money today, so that's always a plus. I don't owe anybody either, which is a big plus. I'm sure that will change after Tina gets home from buying Christmas presents.

Tonite is up in the air. A movie and dinner is all that is guaranteed so far...

Tina's Blogging is Rusty 

I found seven typos in Tina's most recent post. Wow... see kids? Practice really does make perfect!

Great Moment of the Day 

I'm here at The Wine Connection, and a man came up to me and asked, "Excuse me, what are you listening to? Is that 91X, or a CD?" I was taken aback by this comment, because this guy is about 50, and has an earring. So I said, "It's a CD... The Get Up Kids." And he said, "Hmmmm... sounds good! Did you get the new Offspring CD? It came out on Tuesday... but I haven't had a chance to pick it up yet." SWEETNESS... THE GET UP KIDS ARE SPREADING LIKE WILDFIRE. WILDFIRE KANSAS

UNFEELING ROBOT BITCH- Ryan 


Lara "Sad" Moment of the Day 

So Lara lost the Cubicle Decoration Contest at PTS. Unlike Ari, the third place contestant, she was not a gracious winner. She was walkin' around all pissed, saying that the contest was "fixed." She thinks people felt bad for Lisa, the winner, so they voted for her out of pity. She has such a convoluted view of the PTS World. She was talking to Ari in the hallway, bitching about how horrible Lisa's cubicle looked. Keep in mind that Lara's cubicle isn't really a cubicle, but more of a reception desk, with about four times the four area that a cubicle would have. She got all bent outta shape when Lisa commented about the size difference, and was very rude to Lisa.

But what topped off the Sad Moment of the Day, was Lara... after all the PTS employees left for the weekend. After everyone was gone, Lara went to the garbage can of the woman who put on the competition, and gathered all the votes from the contest. She carefully examined each individual's handwriting, and deciphered her 'admirers' and her 'despisers.' PATHETIC LARA... PATHETIC. You Christmas hobo.

Bonus Lara Moment of the Day 

I'm eating a green candycane and Lara turns to me and says...

"Your lips are green like a lobster."

Lara Moment of the Day 

Spying from the survelliance cameras on the co-workers at PTS... because she so desperately wants to win the Cubicle Decorating Contest. FREAKSHOW

TAKE YOUR TIME LARA... IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE CLASS OR ANYTHING 

So yesterday was a bust. I didn't go to school because I was way too sick. So I stayed home... played Mario Kart: Double Dash... watched Saved by the Bell. As I was watching Saved by the Bell... Ursula called me. That was a nice suprise. We were both sick... so "we both took comfort in each other's messed up" health. Then my dad called me and told me I had to go do this grunt work for him at Silver Star (aka Father Stapley's biz) for The Wine Connection. It was fun... let me tell you. I couldn't finish it by myself, so I recruited Tina.

So Tina and I were sitting down, watching THE SIMPLE LIFE. It's actually quite the funny show. Kristen called me outta the blue, and came over. She made some salad, and I made me some Top Ramen... and we sat down and watched the MITCH HEDBERG DVD. It's good stuff. That guy is a genius.

I GOT MTV2 NOW!!! WOO HOO! I was a little disheartened that I don't get the Golf Channel anymore... but hey, I'd give up LIFETIME for MTV2. OK OK, maybe not LIFETIME, but definitely A&E.

TOP FIVE REASONS WHY I CAN'T GO OUT TO LUNCH WITH LARA AND GRACE TOMORROW 

I haven't been to math class since November 24th
I have to do econ homework
I don't have my econ book because Paul never gave it back to me
I'm going to see Grace at 5:30
Because Lara talks so damn much at lunch... that sometimes I want to take that fuckin' butter knife from The Old Spaghetti Factory, and just fuckin' stab... but then I calm down, and realize that it's not worth it. I have a lot to live for... and jail and/or death would ruin my plans... so I count backwards from twenty to one... take a deep breath, and sit there and fuckin' take it- take it like a fuckin' bitch.

Yellowcard- Rough Draft 


CHRISTMAS= AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!1 

So this morning I woke up and we had breakfast, and then Tina and I went to get a Christmas tree. We went to Target first, to get a string of lights. The whole fuckin' city of Encinitas decided to go to Target this monring... so Tina had to grab the lights quickly as I devised a clever blockade. She was dartin' in and out of the aisles like fuckin' Flo Jo. So then we went to buy a tree. That was relatively painless. We were in and out in less than 10 minutes... which I like. So we got home, and the fun started. The whole decorating... and me being in the room with my mom and sister= disaster. I don't get along with those two when it's the three of us. It's usually me agains the two of them... because we don't agree on much. Things were shouted, all in the heat of the moment. Fun stuff really.

BCS is a piece of shit. USC deserves the National Title.

I feel like shit. I got a really bad cramp in my left calf on Saturday morning around 7... and it still hurts like shit. I feel like shit period. I'm in pain everywhere. FUCK IT

Slight Oversight 

I also need to include the one and only Jason Land to the list of people that will not do drugs. Jason is sXe... which means STRAIGHT EDGE for the unknowing. He needs to get XXX tattooed on the inside of his lower lip for me to believe him though... good luck Jason!

PUBLIC APOLOGY 

I would like to take this time, as well as this blog, to announce that I DO NOT think Joel is a stoner. In fact, I don't think Joel has or will ever smoke marijuana in his life. He, along with Michelle, Patrick, Tina, and sometimes Lara, are the people in my life that I know I can count on to never do drugs... along with myself. I think Joel is adamantly against drugs. Joel is the epitomy of Straight Edge. I do respect the fact that you don't do drugs or drink, and I really respect the fact that you don't try to change people because they do. I thought that you and I were kidding yesterday Joel... sometimes I guess I don't know when I go overboard with my jokes. So I would like to apologize to Joel. SORRY JOEL.

ASININE QUESTION OF THE DAY 

Who the fuck stole my shine?

It's So Bulgy... It's Like a Moose! 

Grace's new guy came into town, and the family met him. He's a nice guy... we all seemed to like him. I don't think I've ever seen Grace kiss a guy before. I don't know why I just thought of that... but still, I don't think I have. Hmmm... makes you wonder.

TOP FIVE LARA MOMENTS 

Accidently using the word "homo" instead of "hobo"
Wishing she was made of wax
Ripping her jeans on the door handle
Making a paper patch to cover the hole in her jeans
Her admitting that she tries to not do anything foolish around me because she doesn't want to sound foolish in the LARA MOMENT OF THE DAY section

Brother... It's For the Kids Man... It's All For the Kids. 

So I was drivin' to pick up food from Rubio's... and I was on the phone with Ursula. I parked, and talked to her for about five minutes. I noticed that there was a truck parked behind me... and he was there for a while. So I got out to get the food, and he stopped me. "Hey brother, I noticed that gnarly dent in your truck... I could probably fix that for you a lot cheaper than somebody else could." So I said "OK, well can I get a card or somethin', cuz I'm kinda busy right now." and he told me that he could pop it out right now in five minutes. For $200. The body shops were charging $700 to do that... so I, some may say foolishly, accepted. He fixed it in five minutes. I told him that I couldn't get the money to him right now, but that I would have to go get it from my dad. He followed me over there. I called my dad on the way back, he was pretty pissed. He didn't like the fact that I did this without his consent, since it is my parents' truck and all. So we got there, and my dad looked at it... and was very curt to him (they're convinced that's what killed him. Heh, that joke was for Scotty... even though now it has some relevence to Paul and his family now.) But anyway, I went to go get the money, and my dad got pretty pissed at me. I said "I just saved 500 fuckin' doll... I mean, I'm very upset right now..." but anyway. I saved $500, and it looks fine. 90% fixed I'd say. Hell, I'll sacrifice the 10% for $500. Screw it... hopefully I get to pocket the money. The guy kept saying "c'mon brother, I need to buy my kids a christmas tree. It's all for the kids man." New Found Glory would beg to differ.

TOP FIVE MOMENTS OF THE LCC 2003 BATTLE OF THE BANDS 

Brian screaming "SUFFOCATING!"
The drummer from FIN not knowing the last name of the trumpet player
The drummer from FIN not knowing the name of the other drummer from FIN
The other judges asking us if a certain band was considered PUNK
GSG covering KARMA POLICE

Boredom Equals Authority 

So today I worked for a bit... lunched for a shorter bit... then went to watch Battle of the Bands! That was a good time. I got a call from Anna this morning, and she asked me if I could be a judge for the Battle of the Bands. I graciously accepted. She needed another person, so I asked Joel, and he was down like a clown.

Joel and I seemed to agree on pretty much all the bands... which didn't really suprise me. The host of the show was worried that since I was friends with Brian and Chris that maybe that would sway my decision, but I assured her it was not.

Joel is gonna be the only one that gets the title of my post... but that don't suprise me. That happens a lot.

This is the First Song For Your Mix Tape... 

The new mixed tape feature on the DTR site is a fuckin' great idea. I'm listening to a buncha Drive Thru bands right now. Richard and Stephanie Reines are fuckin' geniuses.

Why not take a crazy chance? 

So last night I picked up Ursula at 9:15. We went to Moonlight Beach and walked around for a bit, until we settled on a nice spot. Then we went back to my truck because Ursula was freezing. So back in my truck, we curled up and read a rousing tale known as my high school yearbook. I made the mistake of mentioning it being in my backseat, and she wanted to see it. She read EVERY comment people wrote in it. I guess she really wanted to know what people think of me. She got a laugh out of the ELECTRIC BLANKET comment Michelle. Then we kinda just lied down and listened to some music, and did some gazing, until the fuckin' cops showed up. "PARKIN' LOT'S CLOSED FOLKS." So then I showed her where my house was, so she could come visit me whenever she wanted, then we went back to Phil's house and watched THE SWEETEST THING. I dropped her off at about 2:30.

So this morning, I decided that I wanted to see Ursula one last time before she left, so I called her up, and went to her house. I spent about an hour with her then... and then went to class. After about 5 minutes in my class... Paul and I decided to get some Juanita's and Starbucks. Then we met up with Peter and let's just say that he convinced me to do something that I think about doing, but never actually do. I owe Peter big. It's great how the two of us have become such great friends in the span of a few months. I can tell him anything, and I do.

After that, the three of us went to Paul's place for a bit, and hung out and watched Monday Night Football. Then I went to pick up Kristen and took her to Starbucks. I'm glad I got to see her today. I missed hanging out with her. We used to hang out a lot more before she became so busy, so I was really happy when she called me up and asked me to do something with her.
