Yeah so

2006-01-04T02:31:00.000-08:00

I haven't really be blogging much! I've been bad. Or something.

Anyway, I got crap for christmas which has been keeping me occupied such as Guitar Hero, Shadow of the Colossus, Rubik's Cube, Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and probably more. My sister got Pikmin and Wario World, and my dad got a Mega Man Aniversary Collection thingar, with Mega Man 1-8. I also read Michael Crichton's State of Fear, and am reading the Harry Potter series (on 1 now), cause I never got around to it.

All the while, I'm still looking for a job. DRAT!

YEAH, SO THAT'S WHY I HAVEN'T BEEN BLOGGING.

HAPPY

suckers

YAH

2005-12-05T02:33:00.000-08:00

It came to my attention that I had mentioned that I was going to blog more, but I kinda slowed back down. I don't want to stop, but I just forget to sometimes :P Anyway...

Dragon Quest VIII is entertaining me a good deal, I put it on hold for a couple days while playing Metroid Prime, but now I'm back in action. I've logged about 30 hours on it so far, and I'm riding around on a majestic Sabrecat, which is basically a sabre toothed tiger with a pink mohawk-mane. It's badass because it lets you travel around about twice as fast as normal, maybe quicker.

Went to see Just Friends tonight with Tristan, and it was pretty damn good. Van Wilder in a fat suit and hot girls. What more can you ask for?

I get to wake up at 8am tomorrow / today... which is in 5 1/2 hours, to take a friend to the doctor. Lucky me! I also hope I hear back from friggin boxlight tomorrow about that job.

ALSO: Wikipedia wins my best site of the second award, and most of my links will be to there now.

Dragon Quest VIII

2005-11-19T02:18:00.000-08:00

Decided in a very brief moment to run out and pick up the new Dragon Quest game tonight, and so far it's pretty slick. Old school RPG style with new graphics and a lot more polished than the first Dragon Warrior, FUH SHIZZLE.

While I was at Game Crazy, I also picked up a used copy of Burnout 3 for about $15. I remembered the Penny Arcade guys enjoying it, so I figured it'd be worth that small sum. Haven't tried it yet though.

DQ8 did come with a playable Final Fantasy XII Demo, which like they related on PA, feels like they are trying to take FF XI offline, and it totally ruins the FF experience. The character designs and whatnot definately have strong influences from previous games, but the combat system just breaks the game. The sad thing is, I know I'll have to buy and play the whole damn thing, since the stories are always so good.

I've been attempting to deal with this bout of feeling insignificant in the vast scope of things, and I'm doing better by keeping myself busy, but it seems to linger at the back of my mind constantly, nagging me... I really wish I could just feel ignorant and blissful. I've looked into things such as The Distinctiveness of Being Human, A Course in Miracles, and How Big the Universe Is, asking the tough questions I never really bothered to ponder very long, probably out of fear... I probably should have stayed that way :P

I'm trying to think of what sparked this internal debate, and I really can't put my finger on it. It might be all the anime I've been watching lately, it might be just be sitting on my ass all day, or it could have just been mostly random... either way, I started wondering what happens after life, what it would be like to experience my conciousness being extinguished... that kind of thing. It went downhill from there I guess :P

I wonder if my declining focus on the subject is an unconcious self defense mechanism to keep from going crazy.

Regardless, I'm glad I started blogging again, to get thoughts down linearly instead of just going insane.

Cheers!
P.S. Nick sucks at being drunk.

TEH POTTAR

2005-11-18T03:39:00.000-08:00

Went to Olive Garden with my family today, had their FANTASTICO Tour of Italy, with Zuppa Toscana. Excellent. I just finished off my leftovers.

Went to Nick's afterwards, we hadn't hung out in a while, so that was cool. We jammed out a little bit, which we were both seriously lacking, talked a little about what's been on my mind lately, then we went to see the new Harry Potter.

When I checked the times earlier, it was only showing on three screens at midnight, but when I went to see if there were any tickets available on Fandango at about 11, I noticed that there was a fourth screen! I'm thinking they decided to show on the fourth one after the fact, cause that one was only like half full.

The movie was good, there was just one scene that was kind of confusing with this guy on the ground, but yeah. Good times.

And to think, I was going to take my sister to see it tomorrow. TOO BAD SHE HAS TO GO SWIMMING. SUCKER.

Jamiroquai - Feels So Good

2005-11-17T02:16:00.000-08:00

Jamiroquai always puts me in a better mood. I really didn't want to leave that depressing post as my last post for a while and have people be concerned, so I guess I need to post again.

I did have quite the bout of uncertainty and searching for answers tonight, but I kinda feel better after looking through a photo album my grandmother put together for me for my 16th birthday. It is a photo documentation of nearly every one of my birthdays up until 16, it was neat to see myself back then, with my friends and family, being happy. Looking at my early birthdays and seeing how happy everyone was.

This is kind of hard to write, as it makes me also remember the effect of time, which does apparantly have quite the effect on my emotions. It helps to have seen it though, and it always helps to write it down and put some substance to my thoughts.

I'm finding my identity again, and it is nice.

Yeah...

2005-11-15T00:33:00.000-08:00

I haven't updated in a while, and haven't had a serious update in even longer. I don't know why, I guess I just didn't feel like I had anything worth while to say.

Is anything worth while to say? Can anything that can be said have much worth in the main scheme of things? The outcome will be the same in the end, anyway.

Does everyone periodically wonder what the hell they are doing in this world? Why they are here? Why they are experiencing this world through the shell they are in? What happens when this shell ceases function? Why this body? Why this species? Percievably, I could have been looking through the eyes of some other animal this whole time... why a human? How would the experience differ?

For one thing, I'm fairly certain I wouldn't be mulling this crap over.

I don't know why I get down like this sometimes, but occasionally it just seems like everyone is just wasting time doing things they falsely think are important in some way until its their turn to die. I don't think the human race can reasonably wrap its mind around what happens during or after that event without using religeon as a crutch.

Why these thoughts? Is it because I have been doing nothing but sit at home on my computer for a couple months? Even moreso the last several days, I haven't had anythin to do outside the house, so I haven't really left much... I don't know. For the last few days, I have spent > 22 hours of my day within the same 64 square feet. Sleeping, or on my computer.

I don't feel like I'm doing anything with my life, and what's worse, I don't think it would matter if I did. Maybe that's why I've always been relatively lazy. Maybe that's why I did poorly in school. Maybe I've always known it doesn't really matter...

Still, nonexistance can't be comprehended... the human survival instinct is that strong, yet people die all the time. Population is exploding, our landmass is shrinking, the temperature is rising. The world is going to shit. What will it be like in 50 years?

It must have been nice before the time when we were aware of our doomed planet, before I could think that my future grandchildren might not have much of a place to live... Is this fragile eggshell of our society going to survive through technology, or will the lack of recources fail us? Will life expectancies continue to rise? How much? Will it be only to the wealthy, while the majority suffer?

I wish I were too stupid to think of this shit.

Damn you Matt

A monkey. wtf

2005-09-27T13:52:00.000-07:00

You Are A: Monkey!

Monkeys are intelligent and agile, well-adapted for jungle life as they swing happily from tree to tree. As a monkey, you are a social animal who prefers a warm climate, is quick to learn new things and loves to climb. A monkey's tiny primate features are irresistable, as is his gregarious personality!

You were almost a: Bear Cub or a Kitten
You are least like a: Bunny or a Chipmunk Discover What Cute Animal You Are!

Destination: Stability!

2005-09-27T04:22:00.000-07:00

At last, my computer is stable. Turns out, I had a bad motherboard, and I don't plan on purchasing another Gigabyte product again. Come to think of it, the GPU cooler I got is Gigabyte also, and the "turbo" fan had one of its "wires" "caught in itself" right out of the box, so the "turbo fan" "made a horrible fucking noise" and now the "wires are yanked the shit out of it." Oh wait, that was Thermaltake. Gigabyte made my "awesome CPU cooler that does so much OMFG better" that doesn't do any better at all, but cost $50 anyway.

My neighbor Ben gave me a spare ASUS P4P800S-X he had laying around the office, and suddenly I can run at my stock 3.0 ghz without issue, things run smoother, I can frigging play Fable without memory access errors, all that good stuff.

Tomorrow I'll be back to the magical land of Windows XP after this stability-search-induced stint in Win2k.

Stability: Found!

Anyway, been lazy the past few days, with the unemployment and all. Been playing poker, reading poker books, watching movies, and whatnot.

Oh yeah, if you're one of the 3 people who haven't donated to the red cross yet for the hurricane Katrina relief stuff, do it. Amazon makes it really easy.

UNEMPLOY'd

2005-08-29T23:39:00.000-07:00

Yeah, so I got a voicemail from my boss today, and the division of Sprint that I work(ed) for, the Vision Expert program, has been disolved. I gots to jobs yo! Looks like I'll be applying for a few places this week, but no big deal. I could make enough money between unemployment and poker to do more than get by.

Big win

2005-08-10T03:09:00.000-07:00

Today I entered my first Multi-Table Tournament on BoDog.com. 279 entered for the $5 entry fee. I came in second place, for $350! Later on, I went to the casino with my dad, and I played some 4/8 limit at the cardroom there, and lost $100. Came back home and played at the $50 tables on BoDog and made $50 back. Overall, I'm up $300 today, and it feels great.

I'll probably be playing more tournaments now ;)

Ouch

2005-08-04T03:24:00.000-07:00

So I'm down a bit today. Something like $120. Actually $158.03.

So much for a secondary income :P When you think about it though, it's not that bad. That's only 3 buyins, and I'm playing good poker within my bankroll. Still... the two bad hands I had sucked. Had the biggest loss I've ever had in one. I had a $64 stack with AJ, AA2 came out, then a 4, then another 2. I ended up all in against someone with friggin A4. He had the higher full house. It sucked.

If I didn't play with such morons who play such crappy cards, I might be able to put them on something else ;)

Oh well, easy come, easier go. (and by go I mean I'm still at $800, from $20, bitches.)

Another job

2005-08-03T04:45:00.000-07:00

And by another job, I mean poker. My supplemental income is on the horizon. And by horizon, I mean right freaking here. My bankroll is up to $955.94 right now, and everything over $1000 I'm going to be cashing out once a week. I think a good 2 grand this month in poker money in my pocket would be a reasonable estimation. We'll see ;)

Ok... Who wants a mustache ride!?

2005-07-22T02:24:00.000-07:00

Ok, so there was this guy I was talking to at Costco. He was an old guy, with a large mustache. The mustache was waxed. The mustache was waxed... very poorly. It was sticking out all stupid. Like one side was down and the other side kind of curled up and out. Anyway, if you're going to wax your mustache, maybe put some freaking effort into it. Dumbass.

So I'm doing pretty well in poker again, after recovering from a slump where I was gambling way too much and playing too loose, too aggressive when I didn't have the goods. I'm back up to a respectable number, which also happens to be more than I have in my bank account right now.

I've been going nuts tonight trying to come up with crap to do while waiting for a cashout from the site I was playing on recently, Intertops Poker. I'm going to be moving it to PokerRoom, and using an additional bonus from PokerSourceOnline, to either get some free chips, or some money. Haven't decided yet.

As far as music goes, we learned to play Come Out And Play, by Offspring this week, and we're going to be working on Santeria, by Sublime next week. Garrett got his double bass pedal piece he needed, so hopefully we'll be playing some Wait And Bleed soon enough ;)

OLLIE'd

2005-07-04T23:51:00.000-07:00

So we played at Ollie's 4th of July party today, and it friggin rocked. His place is kinda up on a hill overlooking this big parking lot with an outdoor portion of a bar visibile, and fireworks stands with people lighting off a ton of stuff behind it, by the water. We had people up at our party, and the people in the bar with a crappy band came out to the outside portion to hear us, it was awesome. They were rocking out ;) We got lots of compliments again, and I had a blast. Good times.

Party'D

2005-07-04T02:51:00.000-07:00

We went out to Jeff's today and played a good show. Lots of people were there, people all around the lake (which is quite big) were lighting off fireworks. Tons of people were out on boats. Ollie and a couple of his DJ friends did some spinning / scratching. Cool stuff. Tomorrow we're playing at Ollie's, and there's gonna be hundreds of people listening. It's gonna be crazy.

Revival

2005-07-03T03:51:00.000-07:00

Alright, I'm done with not posting on my damn blog.

Anyway, I've been playing a lot of poker lately, and been doing pretty well. I've kinda plateued the last week or so, but I'm confident that I'm going to do a lot better in the near future. Here's a graph of my bankroll at the end of the day, on a daily basis for the last 41 days or whatever.

So I think I'm doing alright. Going from $20 to (currently) $480.

Also have been practicing a lot with my band. Having tons of fun... We're playing a pretty big party tomorrow out on Mason Lake, and another one on Monday out in Suquamish for Ollie's party.

Been playing around with my accoustic guitar whenever I have a spare minute (which I happen to have many of) also, and I think I'm improving quite a bit.

Check back some time. I swear I'll update more.

A million lies to sell yourself

Don’t believe in anything
That you can’t waste

You stupid girl

Can’t believe you fake it
Can’t believe you fake it

Don’t believe in fear

Don’t believe in anyone
That you can’t tame

I would just like to say that the town of Sequim, Washington is a festering open sore on the mouth or genitals of the earth.

I hate this place, and its damn old people. I swear people come here to die, and not like they do in florida. they do it here as a stupid idea, an 'it's closer to me' settling kind of thing. The place is depressing and the old people are dumb and boring. If you're going to move somewhere to die, at least go somewhere nice. Like away from me. Old fuckers.

Bitch

2005-03-04T10:10:00.000-08:00

I hate the world today
Your so good to me, I know
But I can’t change
Tried to tell you but you looked at me like maybe I’m an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet

Yesterday I cried
You must have been relieved to see the softer side
I can understand how you’d be so confused
I don’t envy you
I’m a little bit of everything
All rolled into one

I’m a bitch
I’m a lover
I’m a child
I’m a mother
I’m a sinner
I’m a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I’m your hell
I’m you dream
I’m nothing in between
You know you wouldn’t want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may mean you’ll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous
And I’m going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won’t mean a thing

I’m a bitch
I’m a lover
I’m a child
I’m a mother
I’m a sinner
I’m a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I’m your hell
I’m you dream
I’m nothing in between
You know you wouldn’t want it any other way

Just when you think you got me figured out
The season’s already changin’
I think it’s cool you do whatcha do
And don’t try to save me

I’m a bitch
I’m a lover
I’m a child
I’m a mother
I’m a sinner
I’m a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I’m your hell
I’m you dream
I’m nothing in between
You know you wouldn’t want it any other way

I’m a bitch
I’m a tease
I’m a goddess on my knees
When you’re hurt
When you suffer
I’m your angel undercover
I’ve been numb
I’m revived
Can’t say I’m not alive
You know I wouldn’t want it any other way

My awesome friend, Nick Klein, took me out tonight to a couple bars. Had an awesome time. Had all my drinks paid for by random people, and I was (and still am) trashed the whole time. At the second bar, I did karaoke for a couple songe we do as a band, Under the Bridge, and Inside Out. Fun stuff. I hope I don't feel too bad tomorrow :P

2005-02-11T12:23:00.000-08:00

I would just like to share my watch dilema. I hadn't worn a watch for a few years, just relying on my cell phone for the time. I finally broke down and got a nice watch for myself for christmas. Now, I've been wearing it all the time, so I'm used to looking at it for the time. Problem is, I forgot it today, so I keep checking the back of my wrist for the time.

I am between relying on it completely, yet not making sure I'm wearing it when I get ready for work, and it sucks.

And yes, this is the most dramatic thing in my life at the moment.

No, not the movie, stupid. When I left Matt's on Sunday, I left my bag of crap I brought... My toothbrush, toothpaste, deoderant, hair brush, and most importantly, my freaking PHONE CHARGERS. I just realize that I didn't have my chargers this morning, with my Treo half dead. Now, this put me in an awfully sour mood. I was planning on working from 2-6 today out in Sequim, but no. I'm not going. This pisses me off. Instead, I'm going to get a car charger for forty freaking dollars, depositing my paycheck, getting a damn haircut, cleaning my room, applying or jobs.

keep in mind, that's a BEST CASE SCENARIO.

The crappy part was, when I was coming down from a climb, I swung in towards the wall at the bottom, and my toe went under the wall, where there's about 3/4" room between it and the cement floor. Yeah, my nail might end up coming off. Woo. Had a lot of fun though, I'll have to go back again.

2005-01-24T02:40:00.000-08:00

I'm probably playing it. That's what I do now. World of Warcraft or Counter-Strike: Source. Sad is my existance, yet so happy and complete, all at once.

On the way to work this morning, the Hood Canal Bridge was closed to traffic due to "marine traffic" which was nowhere in sight. I was stopped there for around half an hour, then when we started going again I was behind 3 slow trucks, a car, and a van which were too chicken to pass anyone, so in 4 passing maneuvers I passed them all before the 104 / 101 interchange. I hate slow drivers.

I was going to go out to Seattle tonight, cause my friend Chad is visiting up here from Vancouver, wa. We were gonna hit up a bar and a strip club or something. Problem is: the weather. Not gonna make it out there like this. I'll have to just drive down there in a couple weeks to visit them or something, cause I haven't seen those fools in a long friggin time.

I have 2 more hours to kill here at the mall before I can go home and pwn some n00bs in counter strike :P

Last night after work, I went with Nick to the rec center to play some raquetball. I finally feel like I'm back into it now, and I want to play a lot more. My stamina can take it, and it's tons of fun.

After that, I went to see White Noise with some friends. Garrett had to talk me into going to see it, because it's the kind of movie that would make me, yanno, sleep with the lights on. It wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been, but there was way too much unanswered stuff for my liking.

It looks like I'm going straight to teh Jammin after work, so hopefully my nuts don't freeze completely off.

I have defeated the tyrannic hold on retail copies of World Of Warcraft by going straigt to the source: Blizzard's sales line. After being on hold for roughly half a friggin hour, a rep finally answered and got my copy ordered. I shall fade from society no later than Tuesday. Enjoy your time with me while you have the chance.

2005-01-12T02:56:00.000-08:00

Yeah, so I'm pretty damn sure I'm addicted to Counter-Strike: Source. If only I weren't improving daily,and sucked a lot more, it wouldn't be an issue.

I went to the YMCA tonight with peeps. had a good time, but I'm friggin tired. Peace OUT

Yeah, so that's about the point where I stopped and turned around on the way to work yesterday. Friggin snow and ice yo! On summer tires :P I almost got stuck when I pulled over to take that picture, actually. Anyway, my boss let me work in Silverdale instead of Sequim, so it all worked out.

Today I worked in Best Buy, and it was really slow until the end, where we had a friggin nightmare of a time trying to get the computer to behave enough to get this guy his instant rebates.

Yeah, so I'm posting this from my Treo using Hblogger, which is pretty friggin cool. Check it out.

Boredom

2005-01-06T17:41:00.000-08:00

I stand here while the time crawls past
Wondering why it won't move fast
Killing it, time that is
Probably gonna take a whiz
Cause as for time left, there is just
Half an hour before I bust
A move out and head on home
And shove some food into my dome.
It sucks to be out here in Sequim
On monday I will get a trim
Cause my hair's growing surely long
This will never be a song.

Of women and hot pockets

2005-01-06T02:35:00.000-08:00

I took off early from work, to try to beat the freeze, and headed to Kin's to pack up our band's equipment. Suprisingly, I fit everything (2 monitors, a mixer, amp, amp rack, mic stand, guitar rack, electric guitar, bass guitar, cables etc) into my car, and my car alone, then headed to Garrett's, where I met up with Nick. We set everything up, but Garrett was nowhere to be found. HE WAS OFF GALAVANTING WITH SOME WOMAN. The bastard. We were, yanno, at his house. Also, this was a time he came up with :P Anyway, Nick and I set stuff up, screwed around a bit, then decided since our drummer wasn't there, it wasn't worth freezing our asses off to stay up there, so we headed to Nick's place. His dad chatted me up for an hour or so about how the government is screwing us, then Nick had to take off to handle some WOMAN BUSINESS. So I came home and played Counter Strike :P Now Ima sleep!

P.S. Shut up.

P.P.S. I made Hot Pockets for dinner.

Slack

2005-01-05T03:17:00.000-08:00

Yes, I do recognize that I've been slacking an awful lot with my blogging lately. And I don't care. Shut up.

Ok, so I need to stop eating so much shit during the day, alright? Yeah, it's easy enough when I'm working, but when I'm home, I feel it's my mission (and yes, I choose to accept it) to exterminate all candy and cookies. That sort of thing. See, once it's gone, I can't eat it. The problem with my plan, is that it generally passes through me. And not just pass through, it leaves a little trail of SUGARY GOODNESS behind.

Monday was my Counter-Strike: Source clan's first CAL match, and yes, we did win. Yes, it was thanks to me. Deal with it.

Tomorrow I'm working in friggin Sequim, so hopefully I'll sell a phone or two, and also hopefully, the roads won't be frigging icy.

Also: Check this out. It's a friggin Ashlee Simpson being retarded page, for the most part, so... it wins!

Happy New Year!

2005-01-01T02:08:00.000-08:00

Happy friggin new year, people ;) Had a little bash at Kin's tonight. Much fun. Played some songs, etc.

My resolutions for 2005:

Stop being a fat ass.
Sing more.
Learn to play the guitar.
GET TEH MAD CHICKS.

Signing off.

Last night I went with Nick to hit up the gym, then we came back to my place and we had some home made potato soup, via my mom. After that, we picked up Cathy and met Ryan at the Casino. We didn't gamble, but we just sat in the lounge catching up and having some drinks. Since I wasn't driving, I had a little more than everyone else :P Good time.

Merry.

2004-12-25T01:35:00.000-08:00

Merry Friggin Christmas!

Meet The Fockers

2004-12-24T01:13:00.001-08:00

Went to see Meet The Fockers today, and it was quite good. Funny stuff in it, so go see it. I've also been playing more than my fair share of Counter-Strike: Source while not working or sleeping. Sold a couple phones today, to unsuspecting DOLTS. Not really, Sprint IS the CLEAR ALTERNATIVE.

Stupid deposits.

2004-12-23T03:41:00.000-08:00

I could have sold 3 phones today, but they all needed a $125 deposit, and although Sprint has the lowest deposit of any carrier, these people still won't do it. Man, they're robbing me of my $9 friggin dollars, and making me look bad. Ugh :P

Casino

2004-12-18T03:53:00.000-08:00

I just won $180 at the casino. Thank you, come again :P

Dunrk>

2004-12-17T01:09:00.000-08:00

Yeah, so I had some whiskey and coke and a couple beers, and it's about bed time! :P Last night, Kin and Daylen came out to hear us play, and tomorrow hopefully Matt and Nikki can come out. We should also be playing for Kin's New Year's party. Been playing a fair share of Counter-Strike: Source lately. I have to go to friggin Sequim again tomorrow for work... meh. Ok, sleeeeep time.

Day off!

2004-12-14T03:55:00.000-08:00

Wow, had my first day off in 5 days today, and it was amazing. I slept til like 11, loafed and played games all day. Did some laundry though, and later we had some jammage. Gerene, Andrea, and Alison came out to see us, and some beer was had. Good practice, overall. After that, we went to Nick's (minus Shawn and Alison) to chill for a bit, and apparently Andrea and Gerene go "way" back, and raised some holy hell in high school. Nick, Garrett, and I were trying to follow their conversation, but we deduced that they must also be communicating on some ultra-sonic-women-only frequency, cause what we heard was jumping all over the place. I'm pretty sure it's an all inclusive woman ability, and I hope to one day, with the help of a gay man or a transexual, make a translator for the common man to use.

Just thought I'd share with you the thing keeping me entertained at work.

Worked

2004-12-05T01:22:00.000-08:00

So today I worked for the first time in like 5 months. By work, I mean stand around for 6 hours BS'ing with people. And getting paid!

Jammed

2004-12-04T02:25:00.000-08:00

Had an awesome jammage tonight. Although we started around 9:30, it ran well past midnight. Nick brought his ex Cathy over, and Justin brought their old friend Jeff. Abby, Garrett's sister came up to listen too, and it was pretty fun. Lots of people, good times.

Tomorrow's with the job! yipe!

Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you

2004-12-03T20:29:00.000-08:00

So: I got up at the crack of 1 pm, and got ready. Put on some slacks and a dress shirt, and got a call from the guy I'll be working for. I got the job working for sprint, and I start tomorrow at the Sequim Costco. During the week I should be working in Silverdale, but yanno. Suck for weekend. Deposited my next to last unemployment check, and went to my mitigation hearing for my following too close ticket. I explained what happened, but that didn't really matter. The judge lowered it from $150 to $80 solely on the fact that I have a clean driving record. He was very nice, and his occasional humor poking through made it much more enjoyable than it could have been.

I went to the gym a bit ago with Garrett, and talked to Caitlyn (Justin's Ex) there for a while. We came back here and watched How To Kill A Mockingbird, followed by The End Of The World, two amazing flash animations. Gonna get ready to go Jam now, so peace out.

Stuff

2004-12-03T04:34:00.000-08:00

Didn't Jam again today, which sucked. Went to the Gym with Garrett though, followed by pizza with him at Central Market. I went to Nick's later to work on some stuff, but we ended up just doing a few songs for his dad. Justin had a couple girls over, and we watched The Matrix. A slight amount of alcohol was consumed, primarily by everyone but me, and I went home at 3:30 am :P

Tomorrow I have my mitigation hearing for that ticket I got. Yanno, the one where I hit that guy.

Woo? :P

Was lazy, jammed, and did some cardio. Been getting my ass handed to me in Condition Zero, friggin bots are out of their GOURDS.

2004-11-22T17:52:00.000-08:00

Yesterday morning, Nick and Garrett dragged me to the gym. By morning, I mean noon. Blah blah blah, worked on picking out new songs, and ended up going to Shawn's new apartment later. Nick and Shawn had their gee-tars and mini amps, so we did a semi-jam session. Andrea was there too, cause she's Shawn and Alison's roommate. Fun was had, rum and coke was consumed. I drove Nick's car back (he drove us there) because I was the most sober, and holy crap that turbo diesel is a sloth :P Tonight we jam again! Probably not going to work on the new songs though, because we probably don't have tabs or lyrics, and Garrett is the only one with a copy of the list :P

Yawn

2004-11-21T04:16:00.000-08:00

Another relatively uneventful day in the life of Jon today. Sat around loafing until 11:30, when Garrett called and mentioned going to the casino for some grub. My parents were already out there, so we saw them there, and ate with them. Gambled a bit, had a beer. Good times can sure be had there at any hour ;)

Also: yesterday when I left the casino, I saw an amazing white 1991 Taurus SHO+ parked right in the front. Fiberglass hood and white wheels, just like I had put on my 90. Kinda made me miss it, but my 92's far better than my 90 was. That plus woulda been mighty fine though, for sure... I woulda loved the crap out of it. And then made it eat it's crap. Then crap out it's crap that I made it eat.

I also made a pretty cool spray for Counter-Strike: Source. It's based off the newer-design Wang Fu from Penny-Arcade. Here's a pic of it in-game.

2004-11-20T03:25:00.000-08:00

Did some jammin', then went to the casino with Kin, Mike, Melissa, Mary Anne, Eric, Julie, and Beth. Fun was had, groove thangs were shaken, and breakfast buffet was enjoyed!

On a completely nerdier note, I just went 14-2 with a glock and a scout in Counter-Strike: Source. Praise be to me.

Absolute Peril!

2004-11-18T22:18:00.000-08:00

So today I woke up at the crack of noon, checked my email, checked shoforum, then when I went to post on my dream blog, my service was interrupted. I went to check out my cable modem, and it was on the fritz. It's been giving me trouble for a while, so I called comcast and they told me that I could get it replaced in Tacoma. By "In Tacoma", they meant "through stop and go traffic a couple times on the way there", but I got it replaced. Hooray. Then I got chineese, and it was good, and then I went to the Gym with Nick. Did cardio for a good 40 minutes. Cool beans. Megan was there, but she was on her way out. She stayed to talk to us for a while, which was kinda funny. Talk turned to her brother, who's recovering from an accident, then the fact that his girlfriend broke up with him was mentioned, and she said she had it way worse. Apparantly, way worse means a 2 month fling is way worse than a year long relationship, and bein in a friggin ACCIDENT. She be crazy.

Half Life 2 is still awesome.

Mein Lyf.

2004-11-17T03:34:00.000-08:00

Half Life 2 is friggin cool, aight? So is Counter-Strike: Source. Aw, heck, so is Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. Been playing those.

Went over to Kin's tonight. Daylen and Eric were over as well. Eric just got out of the joint 2 days ago, and he's pretty straight and narrow now. Not that he wasn't before... he was doing time for something his friend did. Anyway, cool stuff. Looks like we'll be going to the casino on friday, probably. Yeah, I'm tired.

Sanity Going in 10... 9..

2004-11-15T23:50:00.000-08:00

Going to start playing Half Life 2 in 10 minutes. I'd get ahold of me before that, cause you might not be able to for a few days. Just a warning.

Casinotown, population US.

2004-11-14T03:36:00.000-08:00

So, we had a jam session, WITH Shawn tonight, so that was good. We pretty much have Butterfly, by Crazy Town, down now, but I have to work out the rest of the rhythm of the lyrics. We also pretty much have A Place For My Head down too, but that's just from screwing around.

On the way home from that, I stopped by Kin's, hung out for a couple hours, then we went to the casino for the breakfast buffet again. Nick, Garrett, me, Tristan, Jason, Chris, and Kin ended up there, eating and drinkin'. Kin treated a couple of us to a drink, then I blew $10 on the slots followed by another $10 on Three Card Poker. Then Tristan and I watched Kin make an ass of himself, wandering around and talking to people while drunk, and also gambling while drunk. And being loud while drunk, etc. He kept insisting that I should be talking to hot chicks, but I was too fascinated with the shit that comes out of his mouth when he's drunk :P

Counter crap

2004-11-13T03:15:00.000-08:00

Counter-Strike has been tightening its hold on my manhood, and I feel the call of de_dust far stronger than before... well, before today. Well, not EVER, just recently. Honest, I hate this game. Not because of the system of the game itself, but mostly because of the MASSIVE PWNAGE THAT ENSUES, when I log in, sniper's bullets rending my flesh into chasms of gore. Sick fascination, this is true, but I feel one day I will not suck so freaking BADLY. ONE DAY, meaning never.

Practice was canned tonight (and hopefully moved to tomorrow), because Nick needed to work on repairing his guitar amp, but I did go to the gym with Garrett for some back, bicep, and cardio action. Saw Megan there, but she gave us the cold shoulder in a very strange way. After her workout, she acted aloof and uncaring, while NOT LEAVING. Just standing there like some kind of slack-jawed hooligan, or a girl crying out very desperately for attention. Did I bite when the bait was shown? No. I'm not playing her kid games. Garrett has finally learned not to as well. All for the best, cause she's frigging crazy (not her).

Tristan's Blog: Protest in Seattle

I just had to share this with you, because of the vast humor implications sealed within, like some kind of pringles can full of hilarity.

Halo 2: Combat Evolveder

2004-11-11T03:30:00.000-08:00

We got a new dishwasher today, woo friggin hoo. I guess it's supposed to be quieter or something. Deposited a couple checks and picked up some 151 for a friend, went to the gym later with Garrett and Nick. Did some back and bicep stuff, little bit of treadmill. Didn't work too hard because I had a headache, and the longer the sets I did were, the worse it was :P

Had a decent jam session, minus the bassist again, but we got Can't Stop down to a friggin science now. Think we're gonna start working on Enter Sandman or Smells Like Teen Spirit next. Or Everlong. After that, we went to Nick's to play some Halo 2 (till 3:30 a friggin m), which is... alright at best, as far as my standards go, at least as far as control. I'm too spoiled by using a keyboard and mouse, that using joysticks and being limited by an 8" diagonal bit of TV from accross the room just ain't cutting the el mustardo. I'll probably like it more on the PC, or maybe I'll just keep playing Counter-Strike...

SEE SAW

2004-11-10T01:57:00.000-08:00

Went and saw tonight. I mean... saw Saw. See Saw? If not, do. It's 2 parts horror, 1 part comedy. Between the horrible acting by the guy who acts like Will Ferrel acts when he's acting serious, in a funny way, and the guy from Scary Movie 3, it's comedy gold.

Saw it with Garrett, Abby, Kevin, Gerene, and... Mike? no. David? Not sure, Garrett's friend.

Also, Garrett gave me a drum lesson tonight, which was pretty cool. I now have more respect for drummers. Well, that or I realize that I can't do 4 things at once very well. Or both.

Most delicious...

2004-11-09T13:52:00.000-08:00

I just felt like sharing that I just enjoyed the most delicious lunch I've had in a while. 2 packets of easy mac, with margarine and milk mixed in, and a chopped up hot dog. Move over, caviar!

Gymjam.

2004-11-09T01:27:00.000-08:00

Went to the gym, jammed, and got a call from Emily, who I haven't talked to in a long time, especially at length. I guess she had tried to get ahold of someone, and his other half didn't like it. She definately didn't have a good time of it, so she called me and we talked for an hour or so. Was good talking to her, hopefully we can get together and get some coffee sometime.

Also, she made a comment (in jest) that went something like this: I know love made you blind, but I didn't know it made you stupid. BUDUM CHING!

AND NOW I CONSUME A BANANNA.

Shameless

2004-11-08T03:55:00.000-08:00

Yes, this is shameless, and I didn't make these, but I found them online, and NEED TO SHARE THEM, out of hilarity, and for the sake of them being spread. I present to you, the Roflcopter, Lollerskates, and the Lolrus!

Standing in line to see the show tonight and there's a light on...

2004-11-07T02:38:00.000-08:00

Been listening to By The Way, the 2002 album from The Red Hot Chili Peppers. I really wasn't impressed at first, but now I'm really digging it. Sure it has some different stuff, but it's still friggin awesome. More slow stuff, but it's still very very excellent. It's just not the same as say, Blood Sugar Sex Magik.

Yesterday was my Dad's birthday, and today we had his party thingamajigger with some neighbors. Had some ice cream cake, that sort of thing. The cake, by the way, was pretty girly.

Also yesterday, had a very satisfying jam session with Nick and Garrett. We pretty much got Can't Stop down to awesomeness, and we have most of Narcolepsy down. We've been doing this Monday-Wednesday-Friday thing this week, and hope to continue that for the foreseeable future. It really keeps us on top of what's up. Very cool, very satisfying... Definitely the highlight of my week.

Watched the beginning of Full Metal Jacket tonight, played some more Dawn of War, and am now watching Chris Rock: Bigger and Blacker, uncensored, on Comedy Central (since it's 2:45 am!)

Now if I could just get my chubby ass to the gym...

Home at 3:30 am!

2004-11-04T04:20:00.000-08:00

Yeah, long night?

Started out with some band practice, kicked out some jams, impressed some ladies, froze our asses off. The part moved to Ryen and Brian's, where Adrian and Alison were (along with the rest of the posse), some alcohol was consumed by most, then we went and bowled a frame. Swung by Jack in the Box, then back to Ryen and Brian's. Took Garrett home after we watched some Fight Club, and headed home, and came in LATE (early?) to find my dad already awake, in the garage, reading :P Oh well...

I also got my good tires on my new car, so now it's all happier. Also, it was friggin FOGGY AS HELL tonight. Well, I'm guessing Hell's not that foggy, but you know what I mean.
