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

Softball practice today. Pretty interesting. The coach, Bobby... put me at left field. That's pretty big responsibility... especially since most people in this league can't really control their hitting... so every ball goes to the left, cuz everyone swings early. I caught every ball that came toward me that was catchable. I didn't drop any. I'll admit, some balls got by me... due to the bumpy field, the mud, the stiffness of my glove, and my lack of effort. Batting was OK. I hit two to the fences...

Grace, Tina, Lara and I then went to Red Robin. My dad called me and Tina on our phones while we were practicing. He called from our grandma's house. Why is he over there? Tina calls him up at work... he's not there. Dad calls up Grace and says "What time are you picking up mom for dinner tonight?" She says 6, and he says "No... that's too late. Isn't that late? Come over now!" Uhhh... what the hell? Why? He kept insisting that Grace should come over now. So the four of us got to thinkin'... what could be so important that my dad needs to show us? Why is my dad being so shady? Why is he all excited? Why did he lose hair on just the back of his head? Questions...

Tina and I used our clever deduction skillz, and realized that it is our uncle from Michigan. Low and behold, we were right. Shocking...

So we ran some errands... and came home. Tina and I had dinner with our parents and uncle... then we went to the Stapley residence. Good times over there... don't you just love epiphanies? I sure do.

Work today... fixed some bottle openers. I felt like a grease monkey...

Shot pool with Joel. He beat me, as usual... 5-4. I did better than usual I guess. I'm glad I sunk the nine ball when I broke... or this situation coulda been ugly.

Went home to relax... but I called up Daniel to tell him about a concert tonight, and he invited me to go to the mall with John and himself. So I went to the apartment... it's not pretty. Daniel knocked Paul's CDs down on the floor, threw his guitar outta tune... stuff like that. Their new trashcan is a metal one, spraypainted gold with purple writing that says SAE. Ty wrote FUCK above that... and it's now in their kitchen.

So we went to the mall... and John bought four shirts. We hung out in Spencer's for a long time. A really long time. These two little girls thought Daniel was really cute, so they kept giggling every time we passed them in the mall. Three times. He wouldn't talk to them though. He coulda made their day, but no.

Then went to get water... and went home to get Tina. Talked to Jason, Scott and Ryan on the phone. That was interesting... Shout out to mah Banana Sluggz.

Went to pick up Joel... then we mozied on down to Islands. Micah met us there...

We chilled at Joel's dorm for a bit, got ROAD TRIP and went back to watch it at our hizzouse. WERD.

Time to get goin'... Pirates practice!

What a fuckin' great song.

Yesterday I went to class. That class is so fuckin' weird. It's a psychology break-out session. Long story short, my teacher didn't know the difference between me and Paul... she gave Peter a can of dog food, me a handful of Kisses, Paul a can of sardines, and threatened to spank us with a wooden spoon. Psycho.

Then Peter, Paul and I went to eat at Santana's. Good food. Shrimp burrito was quite tasty. They had to find some costumes for their COPS AND ROBBERS mixer at night. We went to the Army Surplus store in San Marcos, but it moved to Escondido. So we went there. Nice stuff they sell... a machete for $6.29? I'll take it! What a deal! After that, we went to Toys R Us to find a cop costume or a cop badge. No luck. We went to Party City as well. When we left, it started to hail. That was freakin' sweet. Hail is fun.

I then went home and relaxed for a whole five minutes. Patrick called me and told me that his car was in the shop, and they called him, and told him that hey could pick it up today. So I went back to school and picked him up, and drove him to Encinitas to get his truck. Hung out at Joel's house a bit afterward. We then went to UCSD so he could print a paper and turn it in. Then we saw Club Dread. It was a pretty good movie. I thought it was funny... I was laughin' a lot. A MAN WITH A PONYTAIL GETS TAIL... and I COULD TELL YOU, BUT I'D HAVE TEQUILA. hahaha... good stuff. Indeed.

Afterward we went to visit Michelle. Joel and I talked to Michelle #1 and Brandy outside the dorm before. Nice girls those two. Then we went to get something to eat. I thought I had a lotta shit goin' on in my life. Michelle has more... I'm sorry Michelle. I wish there was somethin' I could do. Some people are just assholes I guess.

Then Joel and I went to see his TAs band play. We arrived a little late, so we didn't get any seats. In fact, we had to listen from the hallway outside for most of the time. It picked up though... especially after the drum solo. This young guy stands up with a six string bass... and just starts fuckin' goin' off. He was crazy good. Best I've ever seen. He was slappin' that thing like he was Liza Minelli and it was David Gest. It was great.

Then Joel and I met up with Micah to shoot pool at Pacific Qs. I sucked it up... baaadly.

I got home at 12:15... and I was the first one home. What the hell? My parents got home after me? DISGUSTING.

Sociology was interesting today. We're talking about the sociological differences between boys and girls and their upbringings. It's quite insightful. We also looked at the way society allows men to act, and NOT allow women to act. For example, men aren't allowed to cry in public, men are supposed to be taller than their female counterpart, men are supposed to be able to drink more, men are supposed to not care about their attire... stuff like that. Crazy world we live in when a man gets criticized for using a loofa. It keeps my skin soft damnit! Jillian and Natassia thought it was the funniest thing that I use conditioner. What's wrong with that? My hair may not be naturally manageable... but thanks to DOVE, it can be. Thanks DOVE!

Saw Daniel and John in the plaza today. Had some pleasantries with them. Apparently Paul wants to move out, and Daniel and Ty want him out.

Went home and met Tina. We went to Rubio's. I decided not to go to class. Tina wanted to sleep for 15 minutes. We were gonna hang out with Merge, but when Tina woke up, she went to take a shower. I fell asleep during that time, and she left without me. That's harsh. I did have plans at 5:30, but this was at 3:00. She coulda at least woke me up and told me that she was gonna leave. I felt abandoned and betrayed... but most of all, humiliated. Thanks Tina... thanks a lot.

Racquetball: Game 1- Tom 21, Phil 14. Game 2- Tom 10, Phil 21. Game 3... times up Tom 2, Phil 7.

FRIENDS was pretty funny I guess. Ross is a riot... Pheobe's whole name thing was not. Will and Grace was pretty funny too. So was The Apprentice. That Donald cracks me up. YOU, UP TO THE SUITE! Ye Yeah. ER was great... laughin' nonstop. A mental patient was released from the hospital cuz he was complaining about a muscle ache or somethin'. One of the student doctors let him go and gave him some lip... which made the guy steal a tank, and rampage the city. The police ended up stopping him, throwing a grenade inside the tank, and shooting him up. He survived though... interesting. Frank, the fat receptionist, had a heart attack. He's quite the rude bastard. Turns out he has a retarded daughter that he never talks about... he's ashamed of her. His wife was telling a doctor that all he ever talks about is his daughter. "He must talk about her all the time here." He's never mentioned a word about his family. Kinda sad. Oh well... it's not real, right? RIGHT?

Went to psych today. I met up with Peter and Paul and we all sat together... like usual. Peter and I then went out to lunch. Subway. The usual... goood. I then went over to PTS to drop off the baseball uniforms. Lara, Grace and I went to lunch. Lara cheated with the shotty... not suprising. We met Tina at Soup Plantation... I didn't eat, I just went along for the company. That way I didn't have to work while they were all off havin' fun. No sir. Grace made the mistake of asking me how you play the SHADOW GAME... heh, sucker.

Worked for two hours after lunch. Then I went to class... what a fun class that GEW is. I almost don't mind going to it. It's entertaining. I have a fun class, and my teacher is so cool.

After class I came home. While playing the drums, I decided that I wanted to see what I looked like. I saw what I looked like during the Any Day Now performance... but I wanted to see myself again... to see if I changed anything. I noticed that I am more fluid than I was a year ago... but I wasn't really impressed with the freestylin' I was doin'. I don't know why, but I was a little nervous when I was playing, because I knew I was recording. I knew no one was going to see the tape but me... still I couldn't help but thinking about it. I did unnecessary tricks and stuff... and I messed up on about half of them. Disgusting. I did really enjoy watching myself do the crossover tom beat that I made. It looks pretty cool.

Today was Laura Condy's birthday. I called her up and wished her a happy birthday and she invited me to her new house. She moved in with her brother and two of his friends. I bought her some plastic army men, some glow in the dark stickers, a Disney princess mug, crazy straws, Blues Clues blueberry apple sauce, and a watercolors set. For my birthday she got me a first aid kit, an Incredible Hulk toothbrush, and Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen toothpaste, among other things. I one-upped her... your move Condy.

Jillian, Natassia, and Mike Bollar were there too. We watched MALIBU'S MOST WANTED and ate pizza. It was pleasant. That's a funny movie. Laura and I are starting a gang called the I-5s... like the freeway, BITCH. We're gonna drink 40s of OE and take no shit from nobody. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH BOI.

Drama continues with SAE and the apartment. It was only a matter of time...

Damn, life is so complicated now. I went to sociology class. Time flys by a lot quicker when you don't look at the clock. Interesting.

After class, I went to see Paul. That's when the whole SAE drama went down.

Then Paul and I went to the outlet center to look for an ADIDAS jacket for me. No luck. We then went to eat... then I went to class.

My professor let us outta class early, so I went to Sports Authority. I got two ADIDAS jackets. Quite nice if I do say so myself.

Work... bleh.

Taco Bell. No more fast food for 40 days... so what better fast food to eat than the best there is?!

Picked up Phil and went to Chicks. We picked up the Paramount Pirates uniforms. They're pretty hot. I'm gonna hafta pimp them out though. Maybe cut off the sleeves and through some jewelry on. That'd be off the hook.

Racquetball... just the two of us. Two people is pretty fun. The games were both close... 17-21, and 19-21. He beat me both times... grrr

Eatin' CHEWY GOBBSTOPPERS, the best candy in the world, because tomorrow is the beginning of Lent. I have decided to give up candy, chips, soda and fast food (hence the Taco Bell today.) I have broken lent twice in my career. Once, I gave up chocolate and I ate an Oreo on accident. The other time was on a Friday... you are supposed to abstain from meat, and I went to Big Boys with my sister, aunt and cousins, and I ordered spaghetti without meat sauce, and the woman gave me meat sauce unbeknownst to me... and I ate it.

Paul is takin' this shit waaaay too seriously. I'm really gettin' pissed off. He's botherin' me. Daniel divulged some information about the fraternity to me and some others... and Paul found out, and is going to have Daniel get kicked out. Paul has told me so much shit that he isn't supposed to tell anyone, but he wants Daniel out. He's becoming quite the bastard. It's getting bad. He's completely brainwashed. It's sickening. He is moving out by the end of this week because he doesn't want to live with Daniel anymore. He's completely fucking over his three roommates, making them each pay $100 more a month, and not giving them any notice.

Had dinner with the family today. Then Tina and I decided to go visit Michelle at UCSD, and drop off Tina's birthday gift for her. A little late I guess. We hung out with Michelle for a bit. We talked to her and Sara. Sara's quite interesting. She makes me laugh. Tina and I then went home. I then picked up Joel and shot pool. I did horribly, as usual. I'm blowin' it recently, more than usual. I'm not likin' this. Matt called me while I was playin'. Haven't talked to that kid in a while. I'm gonna see him soon for the Saves the Day show... maybe sooner. Anyway... after that, I went home and had dinner with the fam. I picked out a laptop with Tina. She's gettin' a blue one, I'm gettin' a green one. It looks niiiiiiice.

I then went to the apartment and met Daniel and Ty to go to FLOOD, a church down in San Diego by State. Holy shit. Daniel had a 1982 Honda, and that thing scared the crap outta me. The defroster didn't work, we couldn't really see anything. It was a good half hour drive, with very limited vision. Daniel and Ty had to keep wiping the windshield with their sleeves. Pretty scary. The way back was the same. Flood was pretty nice. Something Like Silas is their house band... and they were pretty good. On the way back, Ty realized that he lost his wallet... or he didn't know where it was. He looked all over Daniel's car, then we went back to the apartment to look. No luck. I then went with Ty back to SDSU to see if anyone turned it in to the Lost and Found. Apparently church is the place that you want to lose your wallet, because somebody turned it in!

We then went back... hung out for a bit, and I left.

I gots even more drama in my life now. I guess that's what happens when you befriend numerous people... it's bound to happen.

I slept in till 11! Daaamn straight. I then watched some TV... met Joel at Flower Hill, and then the two of us picked up Michelle and Chipotled it up. Then I worked. Tina, Lara and Alex were there. Time goes by faster at The Wine Connection with other people there besides my dad and Gowen.

After work I picked up Tina from home and went to Lara and Alex's house. We then jetted to la casa de MERGE, where we met up with Tony and Sparkle Moose. We went to "On The Border" then went to see EuroTrip. I must admit... it was much better than I thought it was. There were some parts that reminded me of RoadTrip, but it was still a great movie. Four guys behind us brought some Jack Daniels in with them, and broke out a little cocktail bar before the movie started. They had some pretty interesting comments. In the middle of the movie they were discussing a makeshift Euro Trip of their own, in great detail. Oh well...

Got home at 1:00... didn't go to sleep till 3:30. Supposed to hang out with Daniel today... I feel bad, cuz he asked me to hang out with him on Thursday night, but I had to help Tina... then he asked me to hang out yesterday, but I was workin' then hangin' out with the family+merge and sparkle. So I'll go chill with him tonight.

Anybody remember when that used to be the title of my blog? Interesting...

Coheed show yesterday. I'm sure everyone is sick of reading reviews of it. For one, go to www.feetarebeat.blogspot.com, www.dearclaudioo.blogspot.com, or www.thatsso80s.blogspot.com...

And that's about it. Good riddance.

So today I woke up and typed a sociology paper at 9. It was due at 11:30. I'm a champ when it comes to procrastination. So then I went to class to drop off my paper. I decided to go to the mall with Peter instead. Good times. He had In-N-Out, I had Taco Bell. The best of both fast food worlds. We went to North County. We first went to look at A&F stuff. Daaaamn, those are expensive. And everything is so damned wrinkled! I bought two long sleeved shirts, not collared, for $60! Daaaaaamn. We then went to American Eagle. I found the same kind of shirts, but with cooler designs on them, for $15 each! I didn't have any money, so I returned to A&F, 27 minutes later, and returned my shirts. Fuckers, tryin' to rip me off with your hot employees and catchy trance music. NOT TODAY! So we went back to AE and I got me two shirts for half the price. The sewage line running behind Red Robin busted, so the whole mall smelled like shit. Literally. Horrible. We stopped by Cresent Jewelers and visited MERGE. Nice guy that Tony... he and I are goin' up to LA or down town to downtown to pick up some silver bands. He knows a lot about silver, I know a lot about bands. It works. Look out, play on words...

Went to class... had a pop quiz. I did well on it... she can't pull one over on me!

Went to the apartment and hung out with Daniel and Patty for a bit. Paul came over, followed by Peter. We studied for Psychology for a bit. Not a whole lot... just a little. Paul drank some shit called EMERGE-ncy. It's some supplement. Real good idea. The kid doesn't eat solid food all day, but he drinks powder. Clever.

I then picked up Phil and we met Joel to play racquetball. I enjoyed today's session. It was quite fun. Maybe cuz I wasn't so hostile. My racquet sure appreciated it.

Then came home and watched FRIENDS, WILL & GRACE, THE APPRENTICE, and ER. Overall quite the good day. I approved. Thumbs up.

I went to all my classes today! I'm so proud! I went to Psych in the morning... Paul and Peter didn't. I had to sit there and listen to my teacher talk about adolescence. How boring. Yeah yeah... hairy armpits, bigger breasts, deeper voices... we know. We've been there. That's why they teach health to freshmen IN HIGH SCHOOL.

Went to math too... nothin' big there.

I then came home and did some homework. I drummed a bit too. Terry, the handyman that's doin' all this work around our house said I was very good. Aw, the third praise I've received in two days by adults who would never listen to the type of music that I play... swell. He's a nice guy though... despite what Lara thinks. She thinks he's not trustworthy because when Lara and I quietly walked by him, he jumped when he saw us. That automatically makes him suspicious in Lara's eyes. Poor sap...

Lara drove me to Pat and Oscar's where we met up with Tina. She almost killed us on the way there... she thought there was still a turning lane in front of my house, and basically pulled out way the hell in the middle of the street to turn left. Yay for safety!

Lunch was pleasant. The three of us have a good time when we're together. We speak in Arabic, so we feel even closer as a family. Heh, not really... but Tina and I did listen to some Arabic music on the way home. We rocked that car good. Arabic music is just like techno... it's great. Peter would enjoy it.

I then watched ATR and PTI. I'm likin' those shows more and more... Michael Holley and Bill Plaschke, you're mah boys! You too Stat Boy... you too.

Went to class and watched Office Space, hence the title of my blog. What a great movie.

Micah called me up on my way home. He needed help with his snare drum, so I went and helped him out. We then went to his house and shot pool for a bit. I beat myself twice... sounds dirty, no?

Then the two of us met up with The Sloppy Hot Dog Stand Man at Chipotle. Good times... good times. I'm lookin' at plane tickets to Sonoma... they're fuckin' expensive as all hell. I know I shouldn't have waited this long, so I'm not really complaining. I expected this.

Went to sosh... entertaining. I then went to lunch with Peter and Paul. Apparently a while back, Paul told Peter that I was adopted and that when I was a kid my parents threw me in the closet and beat me. He completely had Peter goin'. Who jokes about something like that?

I then went to GEL. Boring shit. SO BORING.

Work... not as boring as GEL... just a lotta stocking.

Went home, played drums. My parents were listening and gave me an ovation when I came into the house. Makes me feel good inside. But hey, that's part of their jobs.

I talked to Ursula on the phone for about 10 minutes. There's a hotel near Sonoma St... but it's not walking distance. Kinda sucks, cuz then I don't know if Peter and Micah are gonna go, cuz they may not have a place to stay.

I then went over to the apartment and chilled with Ty and Patty. Ty's girlfriend's twin sister is on American Idol... so I watched that with them. Everyone vote for Marisa Joy. She's really good. 1-866-IDOLS 08. Call it up! Then the three of us just chilled and talked for a few hours. Daniel came home and we talked s'more. They want me to move in when Paul moves out at the end of the year. They're all sick of Paul, and want me instead. Poor sap...

I later got reacquainted with Jason. We talked for nearly a half hour on the phone. I haven't talked to him in a while. Last time I heard his sweet sweet voice was the New Year's Eve show. That was last year! Good talkin' to you Jason... you owe me a joke

So I woke up at 9 and took a shower. Once I got out, I decided that I was still too fucking tired. I also decided I'd skip my psych class at 10. I had a math class at 11, but I figured that if I woke up in time, then I'd go... but it not, then fuck it. I didn't.

I then did some homework. I do well in time crunches. Hey Alex, that 800 word paper that I typed in 40 minutes got rave reviews from the class. My teacher loved it, and the class said it was the funniest paper they've read in this class. What now champ?

I then went to the Wine Connection and met Tina, Lara and Alex there. We went to lunch at Chili's. After, I came home and watched ATR and PTI. I had to get the whole deal with the A-Rod trade, as well as the All-Star weekend. I napped some more.

I went to my English class... then I came home again. I then went to play racquetball with Paul and Phil. I did much better today.

Phil kinda pissed me off today. On the way home, he asked if we wanted to play racquetball on Friday, but I told him that I couldn't because I was going to a concert. He asked me with whom, and I told him Tina, Lara and Alex. He the proceeded to tell me that it was somewhat pathetic that I go to all these concerts, and with my family no less. He thinks it's sad that I spend so much time with my family, and says that I don't have the ability to make friends. He asked me when my first real friend was, and I said "I don't know... 1st grade?" and he said "Yeah, I find that hard to believe." I mean, what the fuck? Did you know me when I was in 1st grade? He always comments on how I'm so busy cuz I'm always with my friends, then he tells me that I don't have many friends. I got pretty pissed off, because I think he is dead wrong. Anyway... that's enough ranting. I'll save all the shit talkin' for Phil. Goodnight all.

Went to softball practice today. It was pretty fun. I know I'm gonna get stuck in the outfield, which is fine with me. Most likely CF, cuz when we were practicing, everyone was so amazed that I could get it home from center field. I hit OK... I hit almost everything. The pitching was pretty bad, but I swung anyway. I won't do that during games, but ehhh... whatever.
Tina, Lara and I went to Red Robin. Hey Tina... what's worse, cocaine or SPEED?

NAPPED.

Lara and Alex came over. We dined, did Lara's math homework, got my ass kicked at NFL STREET... ya know how we do.

Saw 50 FIRST DATES with Scott, Joel and Micah. We then went to Jack in the Box to get shakes. Joel, Scott and I then went to my house to play poker... I got my ass kicked. Scott won. We then talked for hours upon end. They left at 2:30. Reminded me of the old times...

Went to work... nothing really noteworthy about that. I made a delivery for TWC... I got to the house, and I called the house from the callbox outside. They opened the gate for me. I got there... and these two dogs see me and run up to me and start sniffing me all over. It took a good two minutes after I rang the bell for anyone to come to the door. I mean, if you open the gate for somebody, wouldn't you expect that person to come and ring the bell?
Hung out with Joel... went to CompUSA, then Starbucks. Then we shot pool at The Q. I did horribly. Joel killed me. He sunk the 8-ball all five games.
Then Scott called. We met him at my house and hung out for a bit. Watched the NBA All Star Weekend. That was riveting. Picked up Micah and Michelle and went to Red Robin. Then we all went bowling. Joel was the overall winner, shocking. But I would consider myself the overall winner, cuz even though I lost $2, Micah owes me two six packs of ANYTHING I want. Hmmm... maybe I should be a dick and make him find me six packs of Pepsi One or something like that. Heh...

Joel, Scott and I then went over to my house and watched TV for a bit. Then I went to Paul's place, 'cept Paul wasn't even there. He was still at the dorms. He left his phone on his kitchen table. So I hung out with Daniel. Talked to Patty for a bit when Amanda came over. Daniel had business to handle. I ended up crashin' on Paul's bed. I woke up, and Paul still hadn't come home. Oh well... crazy fucker. TIME FOR SOFTBALL PRACTICE! TANGY ORANGE MOTHA FUCKA...

In the morning I went to meet Peter to do some homework. We then went to Psych class and met up with Paul. My bitch of a teacher accused me of cheating. What the fuck! I had an extra copy of a handout we were supposed to print out, and I gave it to the kid next to us. He already told the teacher he didn't have one, but then at the end of class, he all of a sudden did. She started flippin' out saying that whoever gave this kid the paper was participating in cheating. You crazy wench... I had an extra copy! It's not like I gave him any answers! BITCH. After class Paul, Peter and I went and hung out in the Plaza with Emmanuel and his girlfriend.
I then went to the sperm lab next to Hollywood Video to get my blood drawn. Different kind of fluid... and no where near as fun to give out.
Hung out with Da Mulla.
Went to work...
Went to meet Joel at his house, and we went down to UCSD. We hung out with Michelle and a few of her friends while they ate. Joel and I drank, cuz we weren't hungry. Joel and I then went to go see Park at Porter's Pub. They put on a helluva live show. I lost my damn PARK CD. I came home and looked for it, but I couldn't find it. I bought a hoodie from the show. They were that good. Lara, you'd dig 'em...
We then went to see Michelle for a whole minute to say bye. Joel and I then went to the Bell... and I went home.

I had a sociology test today. We had 75 minutes for 50 questions. I finished it in 30 minutes. So by the time I went back to the plaza, everyone was gone. Paul and Peter went to In-N-Out, Daniel and T were in class, and I already missed the Jack The Original show at Mira Costa... so I went home. Went back to class for an hour... then went home yet again. Tina called me up and invited me to go to our aunt's house. They were getting food and Tina needed her senior yearbook. So we hung out with our cousins. Paul is quite the hyper little kid. We watched DADDY DAY CARE. It was actually better than I thought. Then I went home and didn't go to the party. I wanted to go... but I have a conflicting doctor's appointment in the morning... fuck that shit.

Lara... I can't go to that show. I'm going up to Pomona to go see The Early November. Sorry champ

I went to both of my morning classes today! Look at me go! Psych was boring... I did GEW homework... math was boring... I wrote stuff.

I went out to lunch with Tina. We shmooooozed. SWEET.

I went home and did a shitload of homework. Got home at 12:15, went out to lunch for 45 minutes... had class at 4:00. I wrote three 300 word critiques, one 500 word TV script, an 800 word overview of my script, went to Kinko's and made 20 copies of each page. I hauled ass... CHAMP STATUS.

I then went to GEW. Boring stuff really... REALLY.

I then went over to the apartment and went to the gym with Daniel and Ty. Went to buy milk with Ty... then dropped 'em off. I picked up Paul and Phil and the three of us played racquetball. I got my ass kicked... again. Hey, gimme a break. I worked out for 90 minutes! We then went to eat afterward. We have some interesting conversations... I must say. The three of us had a great time though...

Speaking of Phil, hey Lara... You and I need to go buy gloves for our softball practice on Sunday! Tell me when you can go. TANGY ORANGE PUTS THE TO IN TOUGH

I went to my Sociology class today. Boring. I wanted to play the drums today, but Peter called me and asked me if we were still on for lunch... and Kristen called me up right after... so I didn't have any time to play. Oh well, another day. After class, I met up with Peter, and he and I went to lunch for his birthday. Peter's great. We always have very good talks when we are together. We seem to be going through similar situations in life... so I think it's great that we both have somebody else to talk to. He might come up with me to Sonoma, along with Micah. So now if I'm with Ursula, at least the two of them will have somebody to be with. So Peter then dropped me off at my next class. I was bored in that class as well. But hey, not as bored as that same time yesterday. Paul and I were watchin' TV, I was trying to read a book as well. Paul left the room when his friend Josie came, so I was alone. I finished my book, and was a little tired. I sat there and watched TV. Paul tends to watch ABC FAMILY and TOON DISNEY quite frequently. He left the channel on ABC FAMILY, and the fuckin' Olsen Twins show came on. Horrible. The only good part of the show was that Angela from BOY MEETS WORLD is in it. Swell.

Guess what?! I got in class today, and this guy behind me says "Man, those are sick shoes bro!" He was a TEKE. Yay TKE!

So I got to class today and I saw Peter waiting outside for me. He called and we planned on meeting outside. When I got there, he was telling me how he really didn't want to go to class. We called up Paul, and Paul hadn't got there yet... so the three of us went to Subway instead. I had a class at 11 that I wanted to get back for. Ehhh, I decided that I'd just sneak in as everyone was walking out and drop my homework on the table. That's what I did... worked like a charm. Peter and I walked around campus for a bit... then I went to the Library for a Writing Center appointment. For our writing class, we have to have eight WC appointments. Pretty pointless really.

I then went over to the apartment, my home away from home. I hung out with Daniel for a bit. Patty came in, then Paul came home. Hung out with all of them. Daniel's interest Amanda came over too. We watched the first 20 minutes of Scarface... then she left. She seems really nice. Daniel and Paul's friend Josie came over. She seemed nice enough, till she started rippin' on Amanda. She met her at the Mest show on Wednesday, and started going off on her. Daniel didn't really seem to enjoy it.

I then went to class. Then I came back to the apartment and hung out with Paul. Daniel went to the gym, Patty went to class... so Paul and I were just hangin' out. Ty came home, then went to the gym too. Later, Daniel and I were watchin' some TV. A lot of rap. I enjoyed it actually. I can totally write rap songs... they're so damn simplistic. Daniel Ty and I started dancin' too... I'm not good at all. Jillian and Natassia came over to give Paul some soup because he was sick. Hell broke loose soon after... not fun.

I talked to Ursula on the phone today. Plans are solidified... I'm goin' up to see her- can't wait.

I also threw a silver cross on my jacket, and topped off my ghetto look with an upside down white NIKE headband. I was bangin' yo... just a little preview of what the PTS softball team will see... TANGY ORANGE MOTHA FUCKA

Michelle and I went to see The Long Winters tonite up in Hollywood at the Troubadour. Quite the show. They were really good. They converted me.

John: I broke a string... in some cultures that's good luck. In Morocco, it's a sign of long life and good health.

Sean: That's why they call it Mo'rockin.


The Troubadour is a nice place. It's not really that big. I think the Scene is bigger. It has a bar on the side that sells the merch and stuff. There's even a bar in the actual showroom. There's also an upper level like at Canes. Didn't even get searched at the door. Parking was free. I got lost on my way there. The fuckin' streets of LA piss me off. Too many Ys and LEFT TURN YIELDS and ridiculously large intersections... I hate driving in big cities. Ursula called me during the show and I missed her call. FUCK. I can't ever talk to her on the phone. Jeeeeeeze. Oh well, class tomorrow... I'm tired. Goodnight all.

Lunch with Paul... pick up cases from a private owner... work... put Bella in the garage... Chili's with Joel, Paul, Micah, Jillian and Natassia... not bowling... Paul's place. Busy day.

Bowling was a bust. San Marcos was full, and Vista was $15 for all-you-can-bowl for three hours. Fuck that shit. Who bowls for three hours? So we went back to Paul's place. Daniel and Ty were there. We all hung out. Ty and I went to get drinks... we gabbed. Great guy that Ty. Then Micah and Joel left, then about 30 later, Jillian and Natassia left. JP came by. He lives next door, I met him tonite. He's a chill guy. Funny. Well, big day tomorrow! GOOD NIGHT

Went to psych class today. I didn't do my homework, so I did it as I was walking to class. I got some strange looks... didn't bother me much. After class Peter, Paul and I wanted to get food. Kristen called me and asked if I wanted lunch, so the four of us went to Chipotle, after I picked up Kristen. Paul makes inappropriate comments, by the way.

I dropped everyone off and chilled with Tina at home. We picked up Alex from school in Tina's hot new wheels, then cruised over to North County Fair to visit Merge and Moose. Merge is Tina's new man... Moose is his cousin Chris. Moose's parents are friends of the family, so that's how we all know each other. The five of us walked around the mall aimlessly for a bit. Then Tina, Alex, Moose and I went to Merge's house to pick him up some clothes for tonite. We then picked up Lara and hi-tailed it to my house. Tina and Lara gabbed, I played video games with Alex and Moose. I got mad at Alex cuz he thought it'd be funny to unplug the controller while I was playing, so I whipped him with the plug. I broke it. Fuckin' sucks. It was well worth it though.

Then we went back to the mall and met Merge. He brought his friend and his friend's girlfriend along... we went bowling at Poway Fun Bowl. I sucked ass... I wasn't myself though. It happens. THE GET UP KID will get his revenge. Tina, Lara, Alex, Merge and I then went to TGI Fridays. Merge is quite the funny character, and so is Moose. They are hysterical. Hope to hang out with the two of them quite frequently. Goodnight all

The Early November tour isn't coming to San Diego! What the fuck?! BUT!!! I'm driving up to Riverside with Peter on March 5th, and guess what! The Early November is playing at Pomona on March 5th! Maybe Peter and I will have to hit up that show on our way... go to Riverside... hit up a frat party... sleep all day... go to the Saves the Day show... hit up a frat party... sleep all day, then drive down at night! That's gonna be a great weekend!

Sosh... boring. I was supposed to go out to lunch with Peter today, but he ended up staying home because he had a lot of studying to do. Kristen called me up and asked me if I wanted to go out to lunch. I was headed to Paul's place to drop off our psych assignment, so I had her meet me there. So Kristen, Paul, Ty, Patty and I went to Mr. Taco. We all had a splendid time. I then went to class... somewhat paid attention. I have to take a test that will later inform me of what kind of studying is most beneficial to me. WHAT THE FUCK?

After class I went to chill with Daniel. We went to Fry's. That place is so damn nice. Daniel bought a Cat 5 cable, but he didn't have the right card. Patty came back from class. Paul, Ty and Kristen came back from the Outlet center. We lounged about Paul's room. Kristen and I broke Paul's bed because we were both lying on one corner of it, and apparently Paul's bed is supported by chopsticks or somethin'. Apparently if you even drop books on that corner, it breaks. Oh well... it's quite easy to fix.

Kristen left, and Patty went to play music. Paul, Daniel, Ty and I just chilled in Paul and Daniel's room and just talked for a couple hours. It was quite refreshing. We talked about everything... "guy stuff" if you will.

Peter stopped by, and Daniel and Peter and I went back to Fry's and got the card. I then dropped Paul and Peter off at school and came home.

I got home, and I went to play the drums, when I looked at my mom's car. Her side mirror was hanging off. I also noticed her bumper was gone. On the freeway today on her way home, a SnugTop from some truck flew off, and hit the car in front of her... flipped over, knocked off her bumper, hit her mirror, then hit the car behind her. THAT FUCKIN' SUCKS.

On the bright side... all three of my shoes came in today. THAT'S HOT! I can't stop saying that... I'm really pissing off Tina. Oh well, you know she loves it.

WARNING... RANTING AND RAVING. IF YOU DO NOT CARE TO HEAR MY BEEF, THEN YOU MUST BE CHICKEN. (Damn, THAT'S HOT!)

OK, after spending some alone time with Daniel, and then some alone time with Paul, and some time with Paul, Daniel and Ty, and time with Peter and Paul, and time with Peter and Daniel... I realized something. I realized that this fraternity life is definitely not good- for anyone.

Daniel hates his fraternity. Everyone in it is against Daniel, and apparently none of the actives wanted him to become a brother. The only reason Daniel continued and succeeded in becoming an active was to spite them. I know so many damn secrets about that fraternity it isn't even funny. Paul has problems with everyone. He has problems with Daniel, with Peter, with a bunch of other members, and probably with himself. I'm so damn sick of hearing him complain about Daniel to me. He said something that was a little fucked up to Peter, and made Peter mad. Paul didn't want to drive a half mile to school, because he didn't have any gas. He got on Peter's case because Peter didn't want to drive either. Peter drives from fuckin' Temecula everyday, and drives the SAE guys EVERYWHERE. Peter always drives, and he's sick of it. Hell, I'm sick of Peter driving all the time. I feel bad for the guy. Paul kept givin' Peter shit for not driving, so Peter just got sick of it, and drove to school himself, leaving me to drop Paul off. I'm not bitter towards Peter in the least. He has every right to be mad.

Ty was also thinking about joining SAE. He rushed last year, but he had too much work and shit. Yesterday, the frat went to Hooters. Daniel and Ty wanted to work out instead, so they skipped it. Apparently Henry went down to the gym and told Ty that if he didn't go, then he wouldn't get a bid to tonite's party. I guess a lot of people don't want Ty in the fraternity, because he rushed already, and quit. Ty was sick of that shit, and decided that he didn't want to rush anymore. Paul wouldn't stop givin' him shit. Paul is taking the fraternity life quite seriously. Daniel couldn't give a shit, and Peter is just a chiller. Paul is seriously an SAE nazi. It's getting quite annoying. He's like those door-to-door preachers that try to get you to join their church, and even though you politely say no, they still ask. They want to know why. I'm fed up with that shit. Next time Paul asks me, I'm gonna fuckin' tell him the real reason I don't want to join the frat. Oh, he'll fuckin' be sorry.

I'm out.

PS Tina... THAT'S HOT!

Made a mix CD at The Wine Connection today. Went to a concert with Joel. While in line, I saw Maura O'Connell of St. Francis fame, and waved to her. She didn't see me. She passed again, and she noticed me. We talked for a while... she seems to be doing well. She goes to SDSU... I lost her once she went inside. After getting frisked by Len Paul, Joel and I went to buy tickets. While waiting in line, I hear the girl in the front of the line say "I have all these singles cuz I work at Cold Stone, not cuz I'm a stripper." To which I respond "Hey, isn't that Laura Condy the stripper?" Good ol' Laura. She was with Joe... we shmoozed.

We saw a few Madcap songs. They were adequate. Fall Out Boy was really good. Homegrown was the same as the first five times.

Afterward Joel and I went to Tower Records. I got the YEAH YEAH YEAHS CD, and Joel got the Bayside CD. We Belled, then went home.

What made my day---> My teacher from last semester responded to my E-Mail! Last semester, he would always wear this leather pouch on his belt. Peter and I had no idea what it was. We had our guesses... phone, contact solution, giraffe food, everything! So I E-Mailed him and asked him what was in there. Turns out it's a pocketwatch. Peter and I did guess that... so I guess we were right. That's great that he responded. Ollie is the man! Peter and I are making a documentary and we're going to call it Coffee With Ollie. It's gonna be great. Goodnight all.

So today Lara, Tina, Grace and I went out to lunch. We went to Soup Plantation. I got a call from Ursula, so I walked away... and when I came back, I kinda just sat down at the booth. I was at the end. I was talking to Lara... makin' small talk. Something about Lara wanting to get a dog, but her killing it if it got too big. Then all of a sudden, this man comes by and trips over my foot. He's about 60 or so... wearin' a navy cap. I looked at him and apologized, to which he said "Stick yo' foot in!" What the fuck?! Crazy bastard trips over my foot... and after I apologize, he gets mad. After he said it... I kinda just turned away and started talking to Lara. I laughed at him first... so did Tina. Crazy old man deserved it.

I didn't go to Sociology class today. No point really... it's boring. I didn't feel like being bored. I was too bored to go to another place and get bored. It wasn't worth it. So I went to Paramount to drop off the UCSD sweatshirt and to sign up for the PTS Softball Team. That's gonna be the fuckin' shit. But I'll get back to that later. Grace, Tina, Phil and I then went out to lunch.

I then went to class... and got bored. Apparently people go to college so they can get a better chance at a career when older. That's seriously what we learned. Who the fuck didn't know that?! I thought I went to college to listen to a middle aged woman who slightly resembles Feye Dunaway tell us about how optimism is better than pessimism!

So anyway, after class... I decided I needed to buy the Yeah Yeah Yeahs CD. Lou's was out. Damn. But I bought the PLANES MISTAKEN FOR STARS CD. It's a little hardcore. It's still good. Jason, you might dig it...

Work. What else can I say?

Racquetball... got my ass kicked four games straight. Somewhat odd since I did very well last week. My head wasn't in it at all. I just kept thinking about all this other shit, and not really about the game. Oh well... I got a fuckin' great new serve though. Side note: I also made up a really sweet drumbeat that was inspired by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Back to the PTS Softball team. On the way to lunch today, Phil and I had a good talk. We realized that nobody on the team is going to take the game seriously. I mean, most of these women are over the age of 35, and that's being generous. There's a guy in his mid-20s, a guy who's about 35, and a guy who's over 300 lbs... and there's Phil as well. It won't be pretty. We're a team of Misfits. We're like the REPLACEMENTS, and I'm Keanu Reeves. We're like the Mighty Ducks before Gordon Bombay got his hands on them... in a coaching way, not in a Michael Jackson way. We probably won't practice at all... it'll be sad. I decided that nobody is really gonna try, so I am gonna be a complete showman. I'm gonna get decked out, Dan Cortese from Rock n Jock style... I'm gonna wear pants and pull up one pant leg... I'm gonna have sweatbands around my ankles... I'm gonna wear a bandana around my head and a crooked hat over it... I'm gonna wear my fake rolex... I'm gonna have fatty chains around my neck, I'm gonna be bangin'. I'm gonna come on to the field in my shiny white Adidas jacket, blastin' MAKE 'EM SAY UGH by Master P. People will fear me. They will intentionally walk me. Kids will run... women will scream... men will drop to their knees in awe... cuz TANGY ORANGE HAS STEPPED ONTO THE FIELD. REP-REE-ZENT

Lara and I are gonna train. I'm gonna make her strike fear in the eyes of opposing pitchers, and hell... even our pitcher. Lara, apparently Cathy really wants to be first base. She's gonna change her mind once she sees the heat that I'm gonna be sendin' her from third. I'm guessin' I'm gonna be outfield though, since most of the people probably can't throw the ball home from the outfield. I'm hopin' CF if not 3rd, but that's gonna be Bobby's call. Lara wants to dress up as a Pirate for the first game... and I'm all for it. She's gonna be Wolfgang, and I'm gonna be Tangy Orange. We're gonna rule the team. We're gonna yell at our teammates, we're gonna kick dirt on the umpire if he makes bad calls... we're gonna have wads of Big League Chew in our mouths... and we're gonna be spitting like hell. It's gonna be great. I'm so excited for this! I'm gonna get a bunch of head shots and sign them and leave them in the opposing team's dugout. Lara, if you see anyone eating orange wedges or anything like that while riding the bench... you ride their ass. We're gonna shape this team up. You and I will take over the coaching responsibilities. Apparently Bobby didn't even wanna be manager. You and I could do it. I'm thinkin' you're gonna be outfielder too... probably left field. You can keep me company. But then again... you may be one of the better players on our team. I hope we all get together and Bobby at least goes over the rules. I doubt any of them know what the hell they're doing. This should be interesting... TIME FOR T.O. TO TAKE A T.O.

SON OF A BITCH... THURSDAY IS PLAYING THE COACHELLA MUSIC FESTIVAL. THEY'RE PLAYING BOTH DAYS I BELIEVE. WELL FUCK. NOW I WANNA GO EVEN MORE. BUT WHO THE HELL HAS $75 TO SPEND ON A CONCERT?

Went to Psych today. I met up with Peter on the way to class. Paul was already there. The two of them got their own letters now. They look quite nice. I ditched BC (Business Calculus) to go hang out with them and Daniel. The only people who need Business Calc are business majors! Oh wait...

I then went to work. I met Lara there. Grace was drivin' down from LAX when we got there. Lara and I did some werkin'.

We then went out to lunch. Right as we were walkin' in... Grace got a call from Tom, and she left Lara and I hangin'. She told us what she wanted, and stayed outside and talked to him on the phone. Lara and I sat down, and we ordered a coke, and two ice teas. When the waitress brought us the drinks she said "A coke for you, an ice tea for you, and an ice tea for your imaginary friend." I smiled. We went to the Macaroni Grill, and at that restaurant, they give you crayons, because you are able to draw on the table mat. So on the table, I wrote EDWARD in big purple letters, right in front of my imaginary friend. By the time the waitress came back, "Edward" had drank his ice tea. "If you order food for him, I'm going to be a bit worried" she said. Lara thought she could totally pull off a straight face while ordering for Edward, but no such luck. Grace eventually joined us, and the waitress made a comment about Grace not looking like an Edward. I guess it was a compliment to Grace, but a slap in the face to me and Lara.

I then went to GEW. I got really bored in that class, so I started writing out a drum beat... ya know, with sheet music. The hot girl next to me, Michelle, looked at it and said "Are you writing music? That's so cool! You can just think of it in your head and write it down? That's great." Hellz yeah to musicians.

Micah got a drumset! I helped him assemble it tonite. It's a nice one. He's keeping it at a co-worker's house a couple streets down. He's gonna make quite the drummer.

Lara made me close the window while I was at work making the TOP FIVE LIST because I should have been doing actual work. That's the first one that came to my head. The one that should be in place of that is the commercial with Bill Parcells and Jerry Jones talking about the Super Bowl, and where all these NFL players start singing TOMORROW TOMORROW. That was great. And Joel, I'm not old enough to be drinking Budweiser anyway... so there ya go

McDonalds- The man mistaking the hamburger wrapper for a dryer sheet
Bud Light- The woman with the candle in the horse carriage
Lays- The old couple fighting over the bag of chips
Subway- It's not OK to be bad
Budweiser- Dale Earnhart Jr. driving faster than the plane to give the girl her lipstick

I woke up this morning at 10:30. I completely forgot I was supposed to go to youth group with Patty and Daniel this morning.What a bastard I am. Had breakfast with the fam... then hung out with Tina for a bit. After that, I swung over to Joel's house. Damn, even on the phone he kicks my ass at Mario Tennis. Maybe I was a bit cocky, cuz the last time we played, I beat him in two sets. He beat me twice... it hurt my pride.

The Super Bowl was a great game. I was at Joel's house for the first half. Micah showed up at the end of the first quarter. Commercials were OK I guess... some were really funny, but there were a lot that just sucked.

For the second half, I went to Paul's place. Actually, Daniel was the one that invited me, so I really went over to Daniel's place. ACTUALLY, it was next door at Derek's place. It was Daniel, Patrick, Ty, Derek, Kyle, some dude, Anna, Lauren and Lauren's best friend. I made it there just in time to see Justin Timberlake rip off Janet Jackson's top... exposing her right breast... nipple ring and all. Quite interesting.

Helluva second half. I'm glad Viniteri pulled off the field goal at the end. The Panthers still won in Vegas though... if that makes them feel any better.

Derek is quite the host. He had drinks, chips, dip, buffalo wings, brownies, everything! He even made us all steaks! He's fuckin' great. I chilled with Daniel and Ty and Patty for a bit afterward, then I went out to dinner with my parents and sister. Family Night... not just for boardgames.

Went to work yesterday. Gene saved all the stocking for me to. I stocked about 20 different wines. That took about a good 2 and a half hours. Thanks Gene. This lady asked me to help her pick out a wine. I recommended a $30 wine, because she asked for a medium priced wine. I AM NOT PAYING $30 FOR A BOTTLE OF WINE. Whatever. Gene told me that I should have said THIS WINE IS KILLER DUDE! IT'S THE BOMB! IT'S BETTER THAN THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS! Gene makes me laugh.

After work I had to go pick up a buncha cases from this customer's house. He said he has 10-12... he had 30. Fun stuff. I had to throw them all in his lockers, and haul ass home... so my family and I wouldn't be late for my great uncle's suprise birthday party. My mom, grandma, Tina and I got there at around 5:50... he got there around 6:10. Close call. I had fun hangin' with the fam.

I called Zady's girlfriend on his phone, cuz last time he was down here, her and her stupid friends kept calling and pretending to be a girl named Monica. I was obviously bored. There were a buncha kids there too, runnin' around. Still, none of 'em were as cool as Paul. He learned to hug on command. If you ask for a hug... he gets a huge smile on his face and squeezes you as hard as he can. Lara would love it. SHOUTOUT TO LARA!

I'm goin' over to Joel's house for the Super Bowl... the Patriots are gonna win I'm assuming. I made an ass out of myself last night. My uncle said that he thought the Patriots were gonna win by 17, and I asked him "DO YOU HAVE A JOHNSON IN YOUR POCKET THAT AGREES WITH YOU?" When I meant JACKSON... I sounded pretty perverted. I made light of the situation by asking him if he had a dick in his pocket that agreed with him as well. How less awkward.

Goodnite all
