Ugh... today was the exact opposite of the other days. It started out great... ended up like BLAH! I just woke up on time for econ... again. Class wasn't exactly stellar... but I managed to survive. I had to go to work after that, and had a decent day. As good as work could be I guess... I managed to get out somewhat early because of my music class I had to go to. Managed to stay alive through that too. (this is going to be very short as I am 1) very sleepy 2) very hungry 3) very untalkative 4) very sleepy) After I got back from class a little after 3, I grabbed some food and tried, unsuccessfully, to do some homework... sigh. Than Allie and Katy came up with this great idea to surprise Mandy at work. So, since I was already pretty sleepy after my music lecture, I decided I'd take a little power nap to boost the ol' reserves. So after I had had my little nap, we all jumped onto the nearest bus! It was actually a really fun time. (no, there were no hobos, winos, crackheads, crackwhores, crack addicts, or crackas of any kind on the bus...) We still managed to make the trip interesting though. When we got to Bayshore and stopped in to see Mandy, she was going crazy she was so happy to see us. And we got there right in time for her break too! So we were hanging out with her for her whole break... and a little past it too... hehehe... After that it was story time! Allie read me a story about Arthur... and how he can make horses happy?! (what kind of children's book is that?!) Then we went into Abercrombie and I was helping the ladies try some clothes on... although this also has its disadvantages. When I was putting a pair of pants back that Allie didn't like, one of the employees asked me if it fit ok... sigh... Oh well, but than after trying on mucho pairs of pants and shirts and not buying anything (hehehe take that big business! one of these days I'm just going to bring a camera and put on the most expensive thing I can and take a picture of me in it so everyone thinks I'm rich rich rich! ...but now my plan has been exposed... meh, not exactly what any normal person would call a "plan" anyway.) Than we went and said bye to Mandy and were on our way back. The ride back was just as much fun as up (even though we missed our stop : P ) So Katy errr... I mean Randy got pissed and started pounding me into oblivion... So we made it back to the dorms about 9ish and we had wanted to go to this Carl Debevic's (if any of you have been to Ed Debevic's when it was still around here... oh man that place rocked the boat more than the Lockness monster when it's pms-ing! I am sooo tired... but I just can't fall asleep! Gah! Anyway, this place was nowhere near as good... which kind of pissed me off because I felt is was a waste of time and money. Than I went back to my room quick to "regroup" (with myself? ummmm...ok?) And found myself back up in Katy's room about 10 minutes later... so going back to my room really served a purpose eh? I'm not even gonna get into what happened back up in Katy's room... it's nobodies fault... and if anything it's mine... Just having one of those moments I guess... I don't know... all of a sudden all of the bad things just came rushing back in... Hopefully they'll be gone by tomorrow. I am so sick of writing. I am going to... going to... (do what? sleep? lol yeah... suuuuuuuuure. riiiiiiiiight like that's gonna happen) going to... fail out of school! Yay! Give my parents something to appreciate in me! Fuck it... I'm getting ready for bed... and if I can't fall asleep and don't wake up on time for class... hey... than it must have happened for a reason.
Oct. 23
So I'm in work right now (per usual hahaha) I don't have a whole lot of time but I'm sure I'll be able to find some after Philosophy class... Blah! I hate that class... well not hate, because how can you hate anything that puts you to sleep? Any-who, last night was awesome! Let's see, I don't know where to start. Ok... well, I did end up waking up on time for my Communications class. I don't know how I managed to roll out of bed (p.s. I'm in a loft! : \ ) and somehow stumble like I was in a drunken stooper to make it to class. Anyway, we did this one "activity" it was pretty fun and it made class go by sooo fast. (one thing I forgot to say, Jim and his friend Ross, when they are together, can really get on my nerves! Ross came into our room at 8:30 in the fucking morning! And him and Jim started making love right than and there! Ok... so not to the extent that one might think... but there were definately sparks a-flyin' j/k) Than after that class I had a 2 hour break, so plan was I was going to go back to my room and sleep... Well, that kinda worked out. When I got back though me and Jim were talking for awhile and I was talking with some people online. I did finally manage to make my way into bed though by about 11. (about an hour after I got back from class) Ok, it is now about 8 and I just got out of class... Anyway, like I was saying, so I finally got up in bed and got to sleep. I ended up waking up when my alarm went off at 12:30 and I got ready and went to work. Now Wednesday's are my longest stints of time at work, even though it's not that long at all, some days it just seems like EETTEERRNNIITTYY!! (oh yeah, I forgot one other thing about my good buddy Ross. Tuesday after I got back from my music class, like a minute after I get back he comes in too. Jim's not here so he asks if I know where he is and I tell him that I was blinded on the way back and I have no idea where Jim is. So he just sits down at Jim's computer and starts watching porn, and he turns it up so f'in loud! I was just like, dude... I'm tired, I'm cranky, I'm PMSing... just get the fuck out of here! Ok... so I didn't say any of that, but I wish I did, because he had that baw-chica-baw-wow going for at least a good 20 minutes to half an hour! Finally Jim came home and I think they said something about how they wanted to toss each other's salad, I think? Whatever that means...) But I digress... so back to Wednesday, after I got back from a fairly productive day at work, I remembered that Nick wanted to do something, so I called him up. We went out to Oakland Gyros (omg thank you Ray for introducing me to the O.G.! There are just so damn tasty!) Let me tell you though, Wednesday was the f'in wrong day to be out walking! It was raining on and off all day long, and then when me and Nick were like a couple blocks from campus (mind you one block around campus is equal to about 2-2 1/2 blocks in Raycillaberg) it started fucking hailing! And I'm not talking about the kind where me and Nick were trying to flag down a taxi! All of a sudden the "rain" seemed to get "louder" and I could see bouncing off the ground so I asked Nick if it was hailing, he was like dude it's October... I was like dude it's Wisconsin! And I looked up into the sky (because I would see a giant neon sign that would be blinking "Hail!...Hail!"?) and...... CRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRACK!!!! (p.s. I'm not talking about my addiction either : P ) I was like, Nick! I'm hit!!!! And he just kept walking... Anyway, so I was out with him for a night on the town until I think about 10-10:30ish. I had a ton of homework I had to get done! So when I got back I called up Mandy and Katy to see if they could help me study. So I went up there... and we did just about everything but study! (nothing dirrrty you miscondievier!) (hehe I just made that word up!) Katy had to go to bed early so she was out by about 12. But me and Mandy had the best time! It was too crazy! We were up just talking until about 2:30, at which point I was way too tired to mozy on down to my room, so I just crashed up there. So morning comes around... and Mandy's class gets cancelled... so naturally I think that mine was too. Hey, I went to two econ classes in a row before today! I was due for a break! : \ I end up falling back asleep and than Mandy has to wake me up for my business class. This was imperitive that I went to because we had a test that I forgot all about until that moment I woke up and I realized I was fucked. The test wasn't actually that bad, it was short and open book. Things got SOOO crazy at the end of class! Everyone had like 10 printouts that they had to do so the printer ended up running out of paper and there was like 20 people standing there waiting for their paper and about 50 kids outside, waiting for our class to get over and whoa! (oh God, so now I'm Joey from Blossum? the most annoying kid ever?!) But yeah, that was nuts, than after class I came back to my own room and tried to finish up my Philosophy paper that was due today. I ended up having to skip my music class in order to get it done. : ( But I did manage to finish it and by that time I had to go to work! It was pretty fun, Anna trusted me and Laura (two of the "new crew") to lock up by ourselves. It was quite the specticle! Come 5, we were running around like a couple of jack rabbits with our heads chopped off! (wait a minute... is that?... meh... you know what I mean) So I got to talk with her some at work and the way back to the dorm and stuff. I had to go back to my room to pick up my Philo. book (which I didn't read in like I was supposed to... sigh) and than I was off to class. Boring per usual... there's just something about either that room or the subject material that knock, knock, knocks me out, out, out! (that one's for you Allie! hehe p.s. I couldn't remember if knock or out was the word that was repeated lol) So it's been a pretty traumatizing couple of days, let me tell you... (if you have that short of a memory, you're worse than me and Mike! Right now Mike is reading this going, boy I wonder what happened to Dave! : P ) Well... sorry buddy, but that will have to wait for another time! : P So after I'm done here and with my shower, I am gonna hit them books! Crack them suckas open! One of these days I'm gonna take a little trip down to the library! Eventually... I think... Until than I'll just ride my bike around with baseball cards clipped to the spokes! (you can't tell me you've never done that!) I'll be back in town this weekend too! Gotta pick up my costume from Jeff... go Ralph Machio! Hoo Woo! Peace out.
Oct. 24
Well, let's see. It's about 10 am right now, and today I realized I have a guardian angel watching over me! (more on that later, for now I'll tell you about last night) So I was planning on doing homework last night right? So I enlisted Mandy's services to try to keep me on track. The main thing that I had to do was come up with a ton...repeat, a TON (literally! 1000 lbs. worth of questions! : P ) of questions that I can ask, because I have this project coming up where I have to interview somebody that has a job that I would like... or something like that. It all sounds like that identity theft wave that's sweeping the nation to me. Anyway, in the hour+ that she was here... I managed to come up with 2 of my own questions... TWO! The rest of the time we were talking and stuff. Blah! What is my problem?! Why I can't sit still for more than 5 seconds to do homework I don't know! I literally can never sit still though, Allie can vouch for that! ; ) Well, I guess I can't say never... (is that considered a double negative? haha like I care! fuck English! fuck English and all it's little hideous offspring minions of death! aka spelling!) Anyway, so after I "finished" my homework at around 12, we went up to Mandy's room to just relax and watch a movie or something. We were going to ask Allie if she wanted to come with, but Mandy thought she had some studying and homework and packing to do. (which she kinda did) But when we got up to Mandy's room and she checked her AIM, we found out that Allie was "hot on our trail"? Apparently she had been looking for us and she went to my room and she must have just missed us. (lol thanks for that message that you left me on my door Allie!) She ended up finding us in Mandy's room, and from there on out, the night was crazy! Allie is seriously like the most lively person ever! And she just brings energy to everything! We got the movie started like around 12:30-1ish I think. And wow, there was this one part that freaked the shit out of me and Allie! (we were watching Double Jeopardy! lol... I was rather disappointed in the severe lack of Alex Trabek however... : ( False Advertising right there!) Anyway, I'm sure that if you're a regular reader to this site, you know that I'm claustrophobic... and Allie is scared of dead people... (who isn't really?) and anyway, there was this one scene (sorry to ruin the movie for you if you haven't seen it... but it's not like I'm making you read this... or am I?... hehe whatever you do, don't look over your left shoulder! : P ) where Ashley Judd/my wife's character was trapped inside a f'in coffin! And to make matters worse, there was a real live dead body there with her! (ha... oh I crack myself up : P ) lol Me and Allie couldn't even watch the screen for that scene! It was horrible! I was kinda nervous to go back to my own bed because I'm on a loft... so the ceiling is literally like 3 feet away from my face. I know that 3 feet is pretty much room... but it still freaks me out everynight. So anyway, we didn't really get that much of a chance to actually watch the movie, because most of the time we were just goofing around anyway. Rule of thumb is pretty much once you get going on talking and messing around through a movie... there's no chance of you actually ending up watching the movie... and let me tell you, my train was definately "derailed" off the proverbial movie watching track! : \ (ok Mr. Zellmer, what are YOU doing on MY site?! : P ) So after the movie was done we (at least me and Allie) were soooo hungry! But it was like quarter after 2 and no delivery service is open past 2 on weekdays! Gah! Oh the horror! And neither Allie or Mandy wanted to walk with me to Oakland Gyros or George Webb (I don't know what good it would have done me... I'm broke!... again!) So we pretty much raided Mandy's stash... well... I guess it's kind of hard to raid food... especially when somebody offers it to you... (cough cough... I should really have that cold looked at...?) So we were up there talking and eating until about 3:30! Which is WAAAAAAY too late for me to be out on Thursdays! I have a 9 am class on Fridays! Boo on that early bird catches the worm philosophy! Boo on Philosophy! Anyway, so I came back and managed to mozy on up to my bed around 4ish, setting my alarm for about 8:30 which would give me 10 extra minutes of glorious sleep! Well... here comes my guardian angel in the picture to save the day! So I thought I set my alarm... maybe not... maybe I slept right through it... I don't know, and it's pretty much irrelevant. Point is, I woke up... ON MY OWN!... at about 8:40ish and after getting about 4 and a half hours of sleep! I don't know how... I didn't ask why... I was just greatful. My Communication class actually wouldn't be bad at all if it wasn't for that doggone interview project! Other than that, the class is fun, the people are awesome, and I think the teacher's finally starting to like me... if you know what I mean... lol... riiiiiiight. She ended up letting us out a couple minutes early, pretty much the norm on Fridays for her... yay! So I came home and got ready to get on out and back to the R to the ac and the not as important i to the ne. Gotta get my Halloween costume from Jeff. I hope this weekend will be as fun as every other one has been when I'm back in town! (lol I just started singing "The Boys Are Back In Town") Oh, and there are at least two memorable quotes that I actually remembered from last night which are going up on my Favorites page in the Quotes section. check 'em out if'n you want. For now... I need some food! lol peace out.
Oct. 27
Hoo woo! Daylight savings time! Fall back! Get an extra hour of sleep! So than why the h-e-double hockey sticks am I so fucking tired! (like how I said fuck but decided against the use of the other word? : P ) I don't even know what I'm doing on here now anyway! It is IMPERITIVE that I finish my homework that I need for my interview I have to conduct tomorrow! I seriously have the weakest will power ever! It's so weak it should be illegal for it to use the word power in it. (false advertising) I mean c'mon... I haven't even unpacked yet! (it is now 1:24 am and I started "unpacking" at about 8 I want to say) Anyway, I haven't updated this for awhile because I've been at home the past 3 days. So I'll give you a little insight as to what exactly happened. Friday was AAWWEESSOOMMEE!! (you know what I've realized? I use the words "honestly" "seriously" "awesome" and "dude" or any deviation/variation of them, way too often... seriously!) So the ride home Friday was outstanding! I don't think I could have asked for better company! Mandy's mom was nice enough to give her, Allie and me a ride home! I don't think there was a single second where something crazy wasn't happening! That's pretty much an impossible feat when you've got the majority of the quad present! : P (also, I need to start running again... I haven't been out running for almost a week... I guess because it's been cold out... but I need to get into that habit again) But yes, the ride home was stellar to say the least! It seemed like it was about 5 minutes long, it went by way too fast! Just about the instant I got home I started on my wash! Wow, let me tell you I was definately running low in the old clothing bin. So Mike gives me a call when he gets out of work and we were off on another crazy and mildly ghetto Ray-cine adventure! I remember me and Mike were going ballistic we were so hungry so we managed to make it to Culver's alive and intact and order vast amounts of delectible butterburgers! : P After that we went to meet everyone at the mall. Me and Mike went in to visit with our most favoritist chica Liz! A couple later, in comes Jeff, Josh, Brian and everyone's favorite Presidential candidate... Jason! We each took about a hundred sticks of free gum (gum which tastes like cough syrup! no wonder its free! gee wiz liz (hehe that rhymes) you trying to kill a brotha here?! : P ) And we managed to make our way through the mall without getting kicked out! Mike managed to do something I knew he was capable of, he just needed to realize it himself. (p.s. good luck with that Mike!) After about an hour of me not knowing what happened (?) we all wanted to go see Scary Movie 3. Which turned out to be sold out. So in the end we made our way to Blockbuster and seeing as how neither me, Jeff, nor Josh had seen 28 Days Later, Jason insisted on us renting it. So naturally, we all listened to Jason. (that kid gets us out of as much trouble as he starts... so I guess that pretty much warrants him trustworthy lol) Anyway, so we went back to Mike's to watch it, but Jeff had to drop off Josh and Brian. We got to Mike's (Matt was already there) and were just hanging out waiting for Jeff to get back. He showed up in a bit and soon after Allie, Katy and Mandy came by too. I was way too tired to be crazy, so I just sat back and watched the fireworks so to speak. So much legalized insanity went down I don't even know where to start! (p.s. Jeff... you know I love you like a brother dudes, besides Josh, I've know you the longest out of anyone in that crew, but you need to lay off the sextesy dudes! ...Allie, Katy and Mandy... let's just say that Jeff was talking about that for the rest of the night... and the next day... : \ ) So we watched 28 Days Later, which isn't a half bad movie, but than afterwards Mike kicked us all out on our keisters because he had to BE to work by 6... yeah AM not PM!!! Who can blame the kid eh? So I got a ride home from everyone's favorite eccentric Jeff and slept like a baby for the first time in weeks! Much to my surprise, it was Saturday when I woke up! (and when I went to sleep I guess... but since when does Saturday follow Fridays!? : P ) I helped out my dad around the house for awhile. (cleaning the deck/porch, putting away the patio furniture, finding a new "safe spot" for my dad's extensive collection of illicit narcotics... whoops... scratch that last one! I was having a flashback to my days in 'Nam) So Jeff gives me a call at about 3 I think and tells me that him and Josh were going up to South Ridge. I couldn't go because my mom was making a huge roast for us for supper! (I love my mom!) So I was watching college football and stuff with my dad. Turns out they get back from the ridge like as soon as I finish eating, so then they swung by to pick me up and we were off again! This time Josh was driving though... I think I can honestly say that I am no longer afraid of death! I think I died about 15 thousand times with that kid behind the wheel! At one point he was breaking about 7 laws at once I believe. We had soooo much fun though! omg. Mike called like right as I finished eating too, so we all met him at Taco Bell and went up to Tinseltown to get tickets for Scary Movie 3. Omg... that ride was the best! We had Aretha Franklin BLARING, I'm talking about full volume here... like earthquake causing loud... f'in moving those tetonic plates and shit loud! We were racing Mike's jeep and sooo many people mugged the shit out of us when they heard us coming! Omg it was too funny! So we all just hung out at Mike's again for awhile. (Me, Jeff, Josh, Mike, Matt, Darnell and Jason) A little bit later Ray and Joe stopped by too, but we were just heading out to the movie. (me, Jeff and Josh also had quite an adventure at the mall, Best Buy, Curcuit City, and Target searching for the perfect "soul album" that would be worthy enough to be played in the Grand Am, however, apparently it does not yet exist, but rest assured Jeff, by the time Halloween rolls around, I'll have made one for us to blast out those speakers!) So we went and saw Scary Movie 3. I thought it was freakin' hilarious! I thought it was even better than the first one! Although it has been a long time since I saw the first one... Anyway, just go out and see it for yourself. I would say it's definatly worth the $276 it costs for a movie ticket these days. (lol how sad is that? me complaining about ticket prices when I work at a movie theater! lol) After that, Mike had to leave again. (he had to get up early for church) So me, Jeff, and Josh (who is still driving : \ ) pick up Jason. We all go out just driving around and acting crazy! That Grand Am is actually pretty fast. (I should know... we only raced in it about 2 billion times... I think we hit 90 more times than an old folks home!) We also found out that are a shit load of fucking ass holes in this world! We were stopped at a light, (which is a challenge in itself for Josh! : P We half ran at least one red light) when this Jeep pulls up next to us with two guys in it. We look over and they fucking flip us off and start revving their fucking engine! I thought we all should have got out right than and just rolled their Jeep over! Anyway, so we raced them too, and they had to practically blow a red light to beat us... sigh... there's waaaay too much unecessary hate in this world! So we were driving around until like 1:30-2ish and then Josh had to drop us off. So I got back to my house, listened to my new cd I bought (no, not Aretha, I bought "punk goes acoustic" which is pretty kick ass by the way) and tried writing a couple songs for the band. (yeah that's right, I said THE band : P ) No dice though really. I was having a little trouble trying to get all of my thoughts organized. I did get a chance to start on these two songs that are tenitively called "Sketches of Your Eyes" and "20four Hours to Breathe" though. Ended up getting to bed around 3ish and got an extra hour of sleep like I said! Got up, had some doughnuts that my dad had bought us, went to church with the folks. Saw John there and got to talk with him for awhile. Got back home and just watched some football with my dad. Sunday's are strictly for relaxing! : P (it doesn't help that I left my homework at the dorms so yeah... that kind of screwed me over. but did I leave it there intentionally? hmmmm... it's way to late to try to get all deep! My mom took me out to Value Village to pick out my Halloween costume. (Jeff couldn't find his karate uniform for me to wear) So I ended up getting a small, red bathrobe and some white nurses' scrubs... wow. I am going to be the worst Ralph Machio (aka Karate Kid) ever! (yeah, I think that that's the least of my concerns at present though : \ ) So my parents took me back up about 7 and yeah... the rest is pretty much me being lazy! I started unpacking and what-not... I wasn't really feeling it though. Just didn't do anything for me, you know? : P Me and Jim were watching MTV for the longest. There was this one show that was aparently all about ruining people's lives... and Jackass was on... and that new "spin-off" of it, Wildboyz or whatever. It was pretty fun though. Jim is usually pretty cool as long as Ross isn't with him. That kid is ok in small doses. He gets annoying as fuck fast as hell though. And that was pretty much my weekend... and the longest story of all time. Geesh. I feel like I should have some sort of prize for you for surviving that doozy of a tale! Maybe I'll make t-shirts?... meh. I gotta get going on that homework ASAP though! Lates!
