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

Sociology... then lunch with Tina and Grace. I ate lunch in the caboose. I went to GEL. I went to shoot pool with Joel. I got burritos with Joel. I watched FRIENDS. I watched Will & Grace. I watched ER. I am done.

So Lara lost the PTS competition again to the dreaded LISA. She is too much for you Lara... just give it up. I think I'm going to decorate the elevator for the next competition, and I will win. Oh will I win.

My teacher showed up 15 minutes to class today. He called the classroom and asked us to stay there. I read my paper out loud to the class to get extra credit. My class laughed. Nobody laughed at the school being called Morningwood Elementary. I even paused a little... it was somewhat embarassing. My teacher kept raving about how good it is... which put a lotta pressure on me I must say.

I met Colin from The Red Ribbon Army today. I tried out for his band... don't know if he was impressed or not. We'll see. He wants me to come back next week.

So I'm watching the Saved By The Bell episode with Johnny Dakota and his anti-drug spot, and here are the parts that made me laugh


Zach thinks that he and Johnny are "old buds"
Kelly falls for Johnny's line about "him marrying Lisa only if Kelly turns him down"
Johnny doing an anti-drug spot yet he smokes pot
Johnny giving Zach a jacket for him to sell to students, and Zach keeps it for himself
Zach gives Johnny the jacket back when he finds out Johnny smokes pot
Dean, the photographer, agrees to doing the spot by saying "YO"
Johnny's friend making fun of Kelly for not smoking pot by saying "Uh oh Johnny, looks like she's JUST SAYING NO!"
The bully Skud is played by the same actor who plays the football player Ox
Mr. Belding is friends with Brandon Tartikoff, the chairman of NBC. Apparently Mr. Belding changed his life
Brandon Tartikoff trying to act
The Bayside kids trying to impress Johnny by rapping about the dangers of drugs
Slater getting rejected by all the girls at Johnny's party
Lisa, a high schooler, being filmed in a bathroom

Snoop Dogg is a chiller
Isiah Thomas' voice reminds me of Michael Jackson's
Subway is a hundred times better than Quizno's
Full-on jumpsuits are the fuckin' shit

went out to lunch with the sis yesterday. She was pleasant... uh, yeah.

I then watched mah shows Around the Horn and PTI. Always a good time... ALWAYS

I then played my drums for nearly an hour. when I stopped, I realized I was late for my class. My teacher is a chiller... he didn't care.

Our softball game got cancelled. What a bummer. But we got a win... and a win is a win. Our streak of "WINNING OUR GAME ON MONDAY WHEN WE DON'T HAVE PRACTICE ON SUNDAY" is now 5 games. Everytime we have practice, we lose the next day.

Tina and I went out to dinner with Grace and Lara. We had some fun talks.

I then went to go pick up my parents from the airport. I talked to Joel on the phone for a bit... I pretty much talked his ear off. Sorry bud. Thanks for listening!

My parents enjoyed Hawaii. Didn't get me any gifts. hehe... I kid.

FUCK. The Saved By The Bell episode with the oil drilling is on. STOP THE DRILLING STOP THE OIL! STOP THE YELLING AND GIMME A KISS!


Conversation between Conan O'Brien and Snoop Dogg

C: Last time you were on the show you said that you kicked pot... how's that going for you?
S: It kicked me back!

The Wine Connection is fun. heh...

Tina and I went to UCSD to pick up Michelle and meet Joel at Chipotle. That was the highlight of my day. My day wasn't that eventful besides that.

* Already have tickets

So that equals to $100. I can get that money right quick. I have also decided that I really need to stop buying tickets for others till I get their money, cuz I don't have the money to buy multiple tickets at once.

If you would like to attend any of these shows with me, let me know!

So I went to Psych class in the morning. It's not the same without Paul and Peter there. I just sit by myself and don't pay attention. At least before when I didn't pay attention I had Paul or Peter to talk to. This kid in my class recognized my last name as a middle eastern. Interesting. After class I went to the library to meet Daniel. I'm got a hold of his schedule for Fall semester so I can enroll in the same classes as him. Not all the same classes, but it just turned out that we need a lot of the same classes cuz we are both gonna major in business. I then went home and met Micah there cuz for drum lessons. We then went to take that fuckin' computer competency test. I didn't pass one part, so I gotta go wait in the fuckin' line again to answer three questions. SHIT. The line was about an hour long. I ended up leaving early because I had to work, but Micah took it.

I met Tina and we went to work. Lara met us there later and we got lunch together. Lara was there for a while, she waited with us the whole time. Gene and I had some fun there at work. It's very laid back without my dad there. We still get work done, but we do it on our own time. We get it all done... it's just more relaxed.

After work Tina, Lara and I went to Olivia's birthday party. We all had a good time till Talia sprayed Lara with silly string and got Lara's jacket dirty, then Olivia sprayed Tina, then talia, then Talia sprayed Olivia and hit her in the eye. That was a big fuckin' ordeal. Everyone got mad at Talia. Poor kid. We were all outside eating fuckin' edible paper, and then this shit went down.

At 11:30 Matt, Paul and Micah came over. We watched our road trip DVD that Matt made. It was very fuckin' good. He is very skilled with that movie program. Tina and I have to work all fuckin' day tomorrow. I am not looking forward to that AT ALL. Oh well... it'll be OK. Everyone get online so I can talk to you while I "work."

The one where Zack doesn't want to go to the dance with the hefty girl that won him in the Bayside Auction.

The one where the school strikes oil, and it kills the ducks and animals.

The one where Zack is insensitive to the girl that is in the wheelchair.

The one where Slater realizes, after 20 years of existence, that he is Chicano, and get all mad at Zack cuz Zack didn't realize it.

The one where the group has to do a school project on their heritage, and Zack finds out he's Native American, and meets that chief and joins the track team. Also, Jesse finds out that her ancestors were slave traders, and tries to make it up to Lisa by repaving her driveway.

(Lara's addition to the list that I disagree with: The one where Screech becomes the hall monitor and gives everyone detentions because they forgot his birthday. Later, Screech's robot informs them of their mishap (while doing the robot dance) and they throw an impromptu birthday party in Mr. Belding's office.)

(Tina's addition which I kinda agree with: The one where it's Christmas time and Zack likes that homeless girl and her dad passes out in the bathroom. Then the group puts on a cheesy play of A CHRISTMAS CAROL.)

So before Lara's mom left The Wine Connection today, I asked her if she was going to Olivia's birthday party tomorrow. She said that yes, she would be there, and so would Alex. I didn't think Alex was coming, but she said, "Yes he's coming... he's grounded." I said, "Oh, what did he do?" and she said "He said a bad word to me!" and I asked her "What was the bad word?" but she was hesitant to say the word, because there were customers in the store. So I asked her what it started with. "It starts with a P" she said. So immediately I thought of PUSSY... I guess I'm a dirty minded bastard. Gene said "Does it end with a K?" Gene was thinking of PRICK. Turns out that the word Alex said was PSYCHO. What the hell? Apparently he said "Mom, you're acting like a psycho." and she got very upset and grounded him for two weeks. Now that's fuckin' hardcore. Sorry Alex...

Had a dentist appointment at 2. That hygienist had her way with me. She made me bloody. I had my seventh writing center appointment. The facilitator told me he really liked my story. Sweet. It took me two hours... brilliant. I then went to my writing class. I then came home. Not a very exciting day... not even a little bit. How fucking boring.

So yesterday I stayed up till 3am to write my research paper. I didn't finish it. I woke up again at 9am to finish it up. It wasn't too bad actually... I am happy with it. I then went to Sociology class cuz I had a test. Fuck tests. Fuck 'em all. I then came home and watched TV and such, then went to get some Subway with my dogg Tina. I then went to class and turned in my paper. I had this stupid career module that lasted the full 75 minutes. The next two weeks in that class are gonna be hell. Our GEL teacher always lets us out nearly 30 minutes early... but the career counsellor won't do that shit. Before class I ran into Paul and Peter. I only see Paul in class on Friday, and I rarely ever see Peter anymore. I then went to work. Lara was there... so that was a nice change of pace. I always visit her at her work, so now she's turned the tables on me. I started working on my major paper (it's actually called major paper #3) at the Wine Connection. It had to be 1250-1500 words. I worked on it for an hour. When it was closing time, I was about a quarter through my story. Turns out I already typed 1288 words. I was nowhere near done. Shit. Oh well.

I then went to UCSD to wine and dine with my Tritons. That's right... MY TRITONS. OK, so we didn't dine. But Michelle had some killer stuff to celebrate 4/20. OK, so she didn't. But she did have some friendly stuffed aninmals for Joel. Joel likes things that taste like cherries. Brandy likes when I put ketchup packets in her jacket. Michelle LOVES it when I say perverted things. That's what makes me me! What would I be without perversion? I'd be NOTHING.

I came back and finished my paper. It was 2255 words long. I don't know how happy my teacher is gonna be with that. Oh well. If anyone cares to read it, I'll send it to you! heh.

if you are driving down the freeway going a constant 70 mph, and you open both front doors, it doesn't reduce your speed at all. Paul and I attempted it on Saturday night going down the 15 at 10:30pm.

Softball practice was OK. We didn't have a lotta people show up... but it was productive I guess. Afterward Tina and I went to three different places to get her some cleats. She put on this raggedy-ass socks to try on some cleats. Damn they wuz brown. She finally found some, and I found this HOT headband for the game tomorrow. I'm gonna look fuckin' hot. I'm gonna throw on a wristband around my left calf, cuz that's how I roll.

Family dinner was pleasant as usual. Just the 16 of us... we kept it small. Lara has a new nickname, yet again. I decided to call her Bruce, because of the boy from Matilda. She really likes her chocolate cake... just like Bruce. YOU CAN DO IT BRUCEY!!! I KNOW YOU CAN!!!

By the way, has everyone seen those child abuse commercials? Ya know, the one with the old lady in the elevator, and the woman in the diner? C'mon. I wanna get Tina that CHILD ABUSER windbreaker... those are hot.

I had the weirdest dream last night! OK, well first off... every saturday night I turn on my radio because I like to listen to music before I go to sleep. I usually turn on KROQ, because that is one of the few stations that I get from my room, but on Saturday nights, they play trance music. So the only other station that I get that I like is K-EARTH 101.... the Oldies station from LA. So every Saturday I listen to that... but in the morning, they start this thing where they preach about God and such. They have a preist that talks about the Bible and God and all that jazz. Well this morning he was talking about Doubting Thomas, and since I was listening to that while I was sleeping... I started having dreams about that. I remembered when I was a kid at a Catholic School and we learned about Thomas, and kids used to call me Doubting Thomas. I remember feeling resentment toward him for doubting Jesus. Anyway, that wasn't even the weird part. All of a sudden... I called up Jerry Springer and I wanted to bring my family on the show. Jerry said that we couldn't go on unless someone from my family started stripping. I immediately thought of Alex. That kid strips for a fuckin' hobby! He has no problem with pulling down his pants and rubbing his bare white ass on my truck. Luckily I had Tina's socks in my truck to wipe his ass sweat off!!! Anyway, so we never actually went on the show. Instead we went to a Redwings game. For some reason they were in San Diego. Well Alex had just came back from a baseball game... and he was wearing his uniform with ice skates! Well I told him I wanted the Redwings to win, but he said he wanted the Maple Leafs, so he spat on me and skated away. Well I took his cleats and spat in one of them... and accidently got a big whif of the other one, and threw up in it. Needless to say he wasn't too happy.

Yesterday I went to psych class. Paul and I had a grand ol' time in there. We just sit there and talk shit about the teacher. It's quite fun. After that I went home and hung out for a bit, till I left to go down to my school away from school, UCSD. I picked up Joel and we went to Chipotle. I then dropped him off and went to visist Michelle. I was with her for two and a half hours. That's the longest I've ever been at Sixth college. Michelle and I are odd together. I'm perverted, and Michelle likes it, even though she doesn't admit it. hehe...

I then went home and took a nap, then woke up and went to see THE PUNISHER with Joel and Micah, after we snacked at Rubio's. The Punisher was very good, I must say. It was pretty fuckin' sad at first... but it got better. Cameo by Big Sexy Kevin Nash!


Today I went to work and had a blast. Work is so much fun! After work I went over to Chelsea's house cuz she was having a party, and I hadn't seen her in a long time. It's always nice catching up with old friends.

I then came home and took a nice nap. Paul and Micah came over and we all went to Pala Casino. I really don't like the idea of taking money I worked for and just throwing it away and not really getting anything in return, but I decided that I have to at least try it. I played a slot machine first. I did OK at the beginning, but I ended up losing $10. Paul decided to play craps. I have never really played craps, but I watched Paul play, and got the basic jist of it. I ended up winning $15 from that game... while Paul lost $20, and Micah lost $2.

Hope we have softball practice... It did rain a lot today, but I'm hopin' that won't interfere with tomorrow.

Went to both classes today... Didn't get lunch with Peter like I was supposed to. Oh well. I got to come home and watch COSBY. Not the Cosby Show... but COSBY. It's a show featuring Bill Cosby and the same wife, but now they are the Lucas family. His name is Hilton Lucas. The guy from COOL RUNNINGS is in it. The Jamaican one. heh. He became a phone sex operator and used Hilton's name, which started a huge misunderstanding between Hilton and his wife. Hilarious.

I talked to Scotty on the phone. Talked about the usual stuff... Scotty is the man. I don't even know if he likes me calling him Scotty... but I do, cuz his family does, and he's like family. You like that one Scott(y)?

Bill is the new APPRENTICE. Oh well... Kwame and Troy are still mah boys. Bill would have been my third choice. He deserved it. Better luck next time Kwame.

Lara and Tina are gonna be gone tomorrow night, so there's no backup for tomorrow night. Heh, I kid. Have fun in LA! No strip clubs Lara... don't ruin my sister!

I slept in today... hung out at home for a bit. I then went out to lunch with Tina, Grace and Lara. I then went back home and watched PTI, then went to my writing center appointment. I then went to GEW... talked about a slutty blond girl with pierced nips named Michelle that Micah knows with my whole class... then hung out with Rosanna for about an hour... then came home. Micah called me up. He was with Kristen and Ric and he invited me to go to Barnes and Noble. Kristen and Ric showed up 15 minutes late with Krissy, then Micah showed up about 10 minutes later. We hung out... had a good time... I came home. Watched the Chapelle show. Funny fuckin' show. I am tired... and my laptop is making my crotch area extremely warm. I'm not even looking at porn!

I actually went to class today. I decided that I wanna go to my sociology and GEL class for the rest of the year. Three weeks ain't that hard. I watched a movie in Sociology about how BOYS & GIRLS are different physiologically and mentally. Quite interesting. I then met Tina and Grace at Philly Frank's Cheesesteak place in San Marcos. They were talkin' about the convention this summer. We are going on July 1st and coming back on the 5th. Bobby walked in, and we talked to him for a few minutes. Looks like the cast of the convention is gonna be Grace, Tina, Zady, Marwa, Ramse, Bobby and Patrick Moose, and me. I heard Lara may not go... and all I gots to say is that NJ is the place for music... what the hell?

I then came home and watched some AROUND THE HORN... then went to GEL. Boring class... I learned about how to deal with stress. Apparently drinking, smoking, throwing things, and yelling are not good ways of dealing with stress.

I then went to work... but I went down the 15 and on Black Mountain. It was much more relaxing. No traffic, no waiting... it was actually very nice. Work was pretty packed with action.

Hmmm... not a whole lot. I haven't really been home in a while at night. The last week or so I've been either at a softball game, at a concert, or with my friends. It's nice not having anything to do once in a while... helps me to relax. AHHHHH...

So Easter happened... we all had a good time. Micah came over afterward and we hung out for a bit.

So this morning I decided not to go to class. I actually decided that last night. It really isn't worth it. We don't learn a lot in that Psych class on Monday and Wednesday. It's more important to go to class on Friday. I've never missed a friday class. So I watched TV and demolished Tina's mono Tetris record. 376 lines. Amazing. So I got some lunch with Tina. We went to McDonalds... fast food is fun if you ask me. We also went to the courthouse to drop off Tina's ticket. It was fun. Saw two more Raiders stickers. We then came home and hung out. I watched PTI and AROUND THE HORN. Sweetness. After that I went to my writing center appointment. I decided not to go to writing class either. I called up Daniel and went to the apartment instead. I haven't seen Daniel in about three weeks I believe. The whole apartment looks different. They rearranged everything. Daniel now sleeps in the same room as Ty and Patrick, and now they have a little lounge with two computers, another TV and a couch. It's nice and cozy. In the corner of the room is the big THRU TRAFFIC MERGE RIGHT sign that I donated to them.

After that I came home and went to the game with Tina, Talia and Olivia. We met Lara, Grace and Phil at PTS.

So I am warming up with Phil, when Alex calls me over. He told me that I was ineligible to play. I laughed, but he told me he was serious. So apparently a guy named TOM STAPLEY was signed up on the roster, and that since I was Tom Bishar, I couldn't play. Edgurd, our coach, talked to the league official but I still couldn't play. Nothing I could really do... So the game started without me in the lineup. After the first half of the first inning... the official called up the ump, and I was allowed to play, but since I wasn't on the roster, if they find out that I'm a ringer, then we'd have to forfeit if we won.

I was thrown into right center immediately. I got a pop out... yay. I then batted with the bases loaded and one out. I swung so damn hard on the first pitch and missed. I then took three straight balls and got on first. I wasn't too happy with that though. The next at bat I got a single, and the same with the third at bat. That's all I can freakin' do. I get singles... that's my thing I guess. We ended up winning 16-6. Nice way to start the next half of the season. We got a look at the new team that sucked it up in the division above ours. The two teams that do the worst in that division move down to our crappy division, and the two best teams from our division move up. So we looked at them... they call themselves EVIDENCE. How lame. The Hardy Boys play 1st and 2nd, Nancy Drew is their shortstop, and Carmen Sandiego is their pitcher. They are fuckin' HUGE. We are screwed against them.

After the game, Tina, Lara, Grace, Talia, Olivia, Phil and I went to eat at Red Robin. I then came home and watched THE INFERNO with Tina. Dig this... this is JACKED UP.

REAL WORLD/ROAD RULES: INFERNO TALK... read if you care.

So there is this girl named Katie on the Road Rules team. She does really shitty everytime, so the Real World team will never vote her into the Inferno, because she basically ruins the missions for RR. So each team picks two players from their team to be sacrificed. The other team picks one player they want to put in the inferno. The RR always picks Katie, but RW never picks Katie, cuz she pretty much helps RW win. So Veronica and Katie were in the Inferno, and the only way you can get out of the inferno is to do the best on the next mission. So Veronica did very well, and Katie did OK. The rest of the group pretty much threw the mission so Veronica would get it, and Katie would be fucked and thrown in the Inferno.

Meanwhile, on the Real World side, Julie and Coral were gettin' into a fight. They were supposed to throw down and wrestle, but that never happened. Julie just brought a lotta shit to the team. So in the Inferno, RR was rooting for Katie and RW was rooting for Julie. How sad... rooting against your team. That's horrible. Katie ended up winning... which means RR gave up $10,000 for nothing. Sad stuff. Oh well... don't fuck over a teammate.

On Thursday morning when I woke up, and Annie and Erin and Sam were still at my house. I went to go do some homework. Sam left, and then I went to take a shower, and when I got out, Erin and Annie were gone too. Decided to ditch class. I got some lunch with Peter. Haven't seen him since Sonoma... which was over a week ago, so I thought some catching up was in order. I then went to my other class... then went home and hung out for a bit with Paul then left for UCSD. I picked up Joel and we picked up Brandy and went to the Finch show. It was weird going to Sixth College and picking up someone that wasn't Michelle. But I'm glad Brandy came with us. She's so great... I'm glad Michelle got lucky and got a good roommate. So we went to the show, but we got there a little early, so we went to IHOP. We met Joelle there. We then went to the Finch show. We missed The Fall Project, and apparently they are pretty good. BETA FACTOR was NOT. Oh well, I was lied to by ap.net. Counterfit was really fuckin' good. I can't wait till their new CD comes out, I'm definitely buying it. Finch was pretty interesting. There were these three big guys who pushed their way through the crowd, and I knew that was trouble. Needless to say they got booted pretty quickly. Glad to hear it. Poor Brandy couldn't really see Finch. I felt bad for her... but she said she had a great time, and I'm happy for that. Finch's new stuff is completely different. It's not too bad actually.

Friday I went to Psych. Peter didn't show. Paul was there though... so we fucked around in class like usual. After class we went to lunch and my mom called... so the three of us went to Rubio's. Afterward Paul and I went back to school to take that stupid Computer Competency exam. What a piece of shit. it was like 2 and a half hours. Pain in my ass. I then came home and took it easy, and awaited the fun that is church. I got all dressed up in a suit and tie, and I go to do my hair and Tina says "SHIT, YOU'RE WEARING A SUIT? I'M WAY UNDERDRESSED!" I thought since it was Good Friday everyone would be dressed up. I was actually the only guy in the whole church wearing a suit and tie. I shouldn't even say church. We ended up congregating in this hall because the church was being used for a Serbian mass. Interesting. Some guy asked me to hold the casket with roses and walk it around the church with my dad and two other guys. I graciously accepted. It was an honor I think? Sparkle was there, so Tina and I hung out with him afterward. I think I have decided that I will now call Chris SPARKLE MOOSE, and his brother Patrick can be MOOSE. I always go back and forth with Chris between SPARKLE MOOSE and MOOSE, but I think SPARKLE MOOSE suits him well. You'd understand why I call him this if you ever watch him handle a basketball. Crazy stuff.

So after church I dropped off Tina and picked up Michelle. I felt a little funny walkin' around UCSD and La Jolla wearin' a tie, but I got over that quickly. We met Micah and we went out to dinner at TGI Fridays. The three of us had some fun. I don't really remember the last time the three of us hung out alone. I think that may have been the first time.

Today is my dad's birthday! YAY FOR MOREWINE! He's a funny guy... I like to think that I get my humor from him. We're both lame with our jokes, and we both know it. It's great. Today at work we were breakin' wooden boxes, and my dad broke these pieces of wood with his finger. He's crazy. I punched through two pieces of wood and cut my fist open. It was worth it though. Well worth it...

On my way home... I had just got on the freeway, and this BMW passes me. I didn't really think much of it. But I started speeding up, and the BMW wouldn't let me. He would come into my lane, and drive in two lanes, to assure I would not pass him. I thought it was a mistake at first, but he continued to do it. So I got into the far left lane and drove.... but then he sped up beside me... then blew by me. Then he did the same thing with the lanes! I says to myself "Oh hell no..." so then a race had begun! hehe... I'm a bastard. But little did he know, I had a secret weapon in my truck. No no... not NO2. I had FATA. That's right... From Autumn to Ashes. I haul ASS when I listen to AFTER DINNER PAYBACK, and Joel and Alex know what's up. I was goin' about 110, and blew by him. He was keepin' up though... we were weavin' in and out, but bein' very safe obviously. I passed him, then he went from the far left to the far right and exited on Encinitas. I saluted him with a hand wave...

My cousin Joseph just called me at 9:30. He's leavin' to Spain for a week... and he just wanted to call to see if I wanted anything. What a nice guy... always thinkin' about other people. I told him that we were goin' to the church convention, and he said that he wanted to go, but he didn't know if we were going. So he's comin'... and apparently Mary and Deena and Issa and their parents are comin' in early July. That should be fun... they'd come to CA for two weeks... and possibly spend about a week down here. Much love to Joseph and the rest of the Michigan crew!

So I decided to try something new with my blog. For example, on Tuesday I went to the Juliana Theory show. Now you could find this information on Lara's blog, and maybe even Michelle's or Joel's. Instead of repeating this... I think I will just write about the parts that Lara chose not to write about. Like when Lara got lost on the way back. She really had no idea where she was going. She was about to go in a huge loop until I told her to go straight. I think she decided that after that direction pointer, she was gonna take over and work the roads by herself. So I let her go. She decides to turn left for some reason. There is a sign that says 5 NORTH with an arrow pointing upwards, but she still decides to turn left. Right as her light turns green, I point out the sign. She decides to drive down this dark road for a good minute or two. We were running parallel with the 5, so it wasn't that bad. She then finds another onramp to the 5, so she heads toward it. I told her to pass it because there were lights straight ahead. I had to tell her I was kidding, because she was obviously going to go there hadn't I corrected her. Silly Lara...

Today I ditched class and slacked off and didn't really do much work. I talked to Patrick Moussa online. We decided to make PlatinumFish to compete with Goldfish. It was swell. I then went to PTS and finished up the boxes and loaded the 60 lb boxes in my truck and Phil drove them to Poway. We went out to lunch too... Soup Plantation again. Damn I am getting sick of that place. Lara kindly offered to refill my drink, to which I graciously accepted. It was fruit punch. Lara spilled some on her leg, and had a nice sized red stain on her pants. So she goes to the bathroom to try to wash it off... but pretty much made it bigger. Silly Lara...

I drove Grace's car to school today. I got some looks from some people... probably because I looked like a pimp. Why would a college student be driving a car like that?

Went to UCSD afterward and met Joel for the PUNK VOTER show. We lied so we didn't get harassed by the extremists, and told them we were 17. Authority Zero was extremely generic. They sounded like every other shitty punk band. Alkaline Trio was pretty damn good. Their drummer Derek Grant is an amazing drummer... much better than on the CD. NOFX was pretty interesting too. They're probably my favorite punk band. I'm talkin' straight up punk... not pop punk like Green Day. After the show, there was some guy arguing with the security outside RIMAC. He called a security guard a "fat fuckin' son of a bitch" and started questioning the decorum of the cops. Silly Lara...

I then came home and Tina had some company over! Sam, Erin and her were in the kitchen... and when I took the garbage down to the street, I picked up Annie. We all talked and had a grand ol' time. The girls played Monopoly. I opted to not play, because Sam doesn't get pretty when we play against each other. Harsh things are said... things that we don't mean... it's just better that I didn't play. I guess my new nickname is Tink.

So I woke up late and decided not to go to Psychology. I felt bad, because Peter called me up after class and asked me if I was alright and everything. That kid is so great. We talked for a bit about our trips... we're gonna get lunch tomorrow and catch up. I miss hangin' with him.

So I went to get lunch with the PTS gang but this time including Alex. He was there to work... and I helped him for over an hour assembling boxes. Fuckin' boxes...

We went to Tony Roma's, then I went to my writing center appointment. The guy I got, Ryan, was such a fuckin' chiller. I got there five minutes late, he told me to sit down... he was on his laptop talkin' to his friends online. He asked me what the topic of my paper was, what I wanted to do, and that if I had any questions, to just ask him. I didn't really. I looked at my watch, and I had ten minutes left, and right when he saw me do this, he said "OK bro, well you can go if you want." So a 15 minute writing center appointment? I'm thrilled about that shit.

Went to writing class. We all talked about our vacations and stuff. We then talked about stereotypes. We talked about Saved By the Bell, and my professor said that he didn't like the show, and made a comment about Screech. Hmmm... nobody will ever know.

So I went home and picked up Tina, and we went to PTS to get ready for the game. Interesting times with the Gatorade. Tina and I have pretty much become the official Gatorade makers.

We got to the game... we lost. Oh well... we're not in the playoffs. Didn't really think we deserved to be either. a .500 team is mediocre, and that's crap. So I guess the top two teams in our division move up to the next division, and the two worst from the other division move down to ours. New opposition next half, should be swell.

We (Tina, Lara, Alex, Grace, L+A's Mom, Phil, myself) went to Islands afterward to celebrate? Alex was a little sick, so I went to the bathroom to check on him. The guy in the next stall's cell phone started ringing... and he answered it. Would you really answer your phone if you were in a public bathroom and there were other people in there? He knew I was there, because I asked Alex if he was alright. Crazy bastard.

I then went back to PTS and finished packing those boxes with Phil. It took about three hours. We had to take out all these books and magazines and pamphlets out of these crappy boxes and put them in new boxes, after we took inventory. I am physically and mentally exhausted right now... so I'm gonna go to sleep. Concert tomorrow and one on Wednesday. I'm still debating about Finch on Thursday. Hmmm...

PS: I'm gonna rant a little here. I just lie down and think about things sometimes. I just think about certain things, and I just get really upset, bitter and pissed off at people. I just wish I was so fucking simple, that I didn't think about the repercussions of my actions and how what I do affects other people. I wish I was a prick that just does whatever the fuck they wanna do, no matter what. It would be so much easier going through life not caring about other people and not really giving a shit about the things I do. I wish I would just do shit that made me happy... and not really care about other people. But I'm pretty sure that makes me a dick. There are way too many people in this world that I care about... and I don't like fucking other people over. My fucking conscience won't allow it. Picking up other people's slack is pure shit too. I am really watching myself here, because I know Tina feels I am sometimes like this, and Tina I apologize. This really isn't about you at all... I just couldn't help feeling like somewhat of a hypocrite because you and mom and dad have told me that I am sometimes like this. I just wish people would take into account the things they do, and have sound reason for doing such things. It just boggles my mind that some people don't give a shit about anyone else but themselves. That is no way to live life. I am sick of being the giving one in a relationship, and not getting anything back. Fuck it. Maybe I am making too big of a deal about it... thank you for your time.

Ugh, disgusting.

So on Friday I saw WALKING TALL and on Saturday I saw TAKING LIVES.

On Saturday, hangin' out with Deema and Dora was a great time. I haven't seen the two of them in such a long time. They are really fun to be with... and hopefully I will get the chance to do so again!

So today, I went to softball practice. So I got there at 9:30, and the only one that was there was the coach, Edgurd. Glad we have a dedicated softball team. Lorri and her family showed up, and we all threw around for a while. We batted too... I hit a homerun. Yay for me.

I went home and I went with Tina and we opened up the Wine Connection. We were a bit late, and Tina was haulin' ass. So we then picked up our mom from PIER 1, and we went to Pei Wei to eat lunch. I saw Jessica there. Jessica is swell.

Went home and hung out. Tina and I went to UTC and Tina bought me a jacket for Christmas. We haven't really got each other Christmas presents from last year... so she felt it was time to do so. Thanks Tina! YOU ARE THE BEST SISTER EVER, and I mean it.

So then we came home and got ready and went over to the Ginn residence for dinner, or actually... to watch them eat dinner. It was Sam, her brother and sister Kevin and Kelsey, roommates Erin and Annie, and Kelsey's friend and Sam's parents. We all watched the basketball games and we gathered around the dinner table and had a grand time. Funny Ginns...

We then went to the Carlsbad beach campgrounds, and met Ally and Corynn over there. There were a buncha guys that they just met over there as well... they didn't really talk at all. The site was Ally's and she was having a birthday party for her friend Elise. Ally was chuckin' pieces of wood into the firepit, spewin' ashes all over the place. It was lovely. Anyway... I'm tired. Peace Easy.

So it's Friday afternoon, and I just got home. Let's recap, shall we?


So on Tuesday I went to school with Tina. We met up with Lara and grabbed some lunch. I went to class with the two of them and watched a woman complain about George Bush being the Resident of the United States and his 'OIL'igarchy. Fun stuff. So Tina dropped me off and I got on the plane. It was interesting, the flight was open seated. So I landed in Oakland a half hour early, so I waited outside for Ursula. She picked me up and we went to Sonoma State. It's a really nice school... very homey.

I met her roommates Leia, Ashley and Nina. I met her friends Lee, Tawny, Serb, Matt, Nick and Andrew. and I could type a whole lotta stuff... but too much happened this trip. Nothing like that Lara... I told you that wouldn't happen.

All of her friends are really cool.

Hung out with Sam and her roommates when I first got there as well. I already knew Emily, and I met Corynn and Annie and Erin. Sam and Erin and I hung out on Wednesday as well. That was fun as hell. Erin and I wanted to get a can of EazyCheese with Bacon and run it over with her car. We did... and boy was it great.

Hung out with Anthony, Paul and Peter on Wednesday. That was fun. Always a fun time with Peter and Paul.

I played Frisbee Golf with Sam and Erin too. That was gooood times. I won.

Hanging out with Ursula and her friends made me realize what a calm life I lead. I don't mind it at all though. The party life really isn't for me. I do enjoy partying though, but everynight like they do in Sonoma... that's just crazy.

Ursula was a great host and so was Sam. Her and Erin were very hospitable and I appreciate all of them so much.
