So I've been slacking on updates to the gallons of lemonade and such, and I've slowed down consumption as well. I've lost somewhere around 10 lbs since I've been here, so I'm down near 135. I benched 120 the other day once just so I would have an idea what I can bench, but I was exhausted and I didn't do any warm up past about 20 sec of stretching so yeah, I think I can do more than that with a little preparation.

Mmmm food
They came back over today, Kristen had gotten the phone guy to come out so she finally at leats had dial tone. So now it still wasn't working. I picked up the phone to check the tone and it went all choppy for a bit, I figured out it was cause they had a VM message. They setup their voicemail and tried it again. It didn't work this time i found because she had plugged the phone line into the ethernet port. Granted I had checked it the day before and didn't notice myself, but whatever. Once i got that done she was up and running. I also downloaded the drivers for Kristens printer for her and got that all setup. I earned my dinner.
We went down to the main pool and chilled for a while there. I attempted to get a tan. I don't think it's working.
They fixed the kitchen window, the bathroom cieling, and the socket under my desk today. Heck yes. They still have to come back and paint the cieling in my bathroom and fix the window screens but it's getting there. I had thought that the smaller rooms on the other side of the complex were the older rooms but it turns out, as I was informed this morning by the guy that fixed the cieling, that those are actually the newer buildings, sweet.
I've always like reading about development projects and what went into getting the poroject done and such. The most fun ones are the ones that list completly random things, and the amounts of them that it took to get the project done. In that light I have decided to start measuring my college experience by such things.

First day O'Class
I have a two hour break after that so i went to go get my book that i still needed. The book store is still out but they were able to tell me that they should have it wed or thurs. So then i trecked on over to O'Connel and got my major all changed and shit so I'm officially a mechatronic engineer. After that i crewsed on home to switch out some books and shit, and then hopped the bus with Jeff (we both have a class at noon). The bus is free so that rocks. Graphics sounds like it's going to be fun, we get to model stuff and then stress test it and crap which is awesome cause I've wanted to stress test my bike design.
Right after that Jeff and I both have our Logic class. I ended up almost falling asleep cause he spent the whole class going over number conversions from decimal to octal and hex and such. It's about the 8th time i've had to sit through a class like that and it's the most boring shit ever. And I've used it maybe once outside of each of the tests on it.
Spent the rest of the day bullshitting. They came and fixed the shower head today and they are supposed to fix the cieling from the water damage later.
My Dad called me today. I talked to him for a little while.
went to walmart with Jeff, he bought a bike, and i got some random stuff that i needed. We came back and I went to Safeway. I got a 10lb bag of rice and a crap load of noodles, and some oranges, and a big vat of lemonade. I now have the most lemonade ever. YAY.
So i chilled some more. Ryan came by and told me it was his birthday, he was trying to get a bunch of people to go out to centerfolds. It was his brthday. Jeff, the Marks, and I all went along with some other people from our building. I tried to buy Ryan a lap dance for his birthday, but he lost his walet just as I paid for it so he had nothing to tip her with. She asked me if i wanted it instead, and I had already paid so I said sure. I like lap dances. I came out with a big smile. We sat and watched a couple girls, Mark had gone in for one too. A couple min later Ryan found his wallet, this was very exciting for him. He bought a lap dance, I was out of money.
I'm getting my room put all together slowly, very slowly. I need to do some organizing and cleaning, I've got the new google deskbar 2.0beta running, it's kinda cool. I'm mostly using the todo list ssidebar plugin cause it's always right there and that's how i need a todo list to be, i don't like the idea of havig to switch over to another thing to get at it, it's not very advanced or anything but it does the job for things i need to get at the store and calls i need to make and such.
I put the desk chair that the room came with in Jeff's room, the puong that sarah brought me is sooo comfortable.
I'm thinking about a way to publish my schedule in a way that i like. We'll see.

Been a few days
We decided to go back to Scotty's place and stole a cone on the way to the car. He has an awesome house that he shares with a couple people but it's huge and nice. I had another beer there (Fat Tire) and we hung out for a while. Then Sarah and I walked back to my place and passed out. YAY.
This morning Sarah and I went out and got coffee, and then drove around and she showed me where some stuff is around town. We looked around and walked some of downtown and crap and then we came back and she dropped me off and started home.
I've got cable modem now. one of the guys was kind enough to let us all share off his. So no more dial up, YAY.
Mckenzie's in Cordoba for the next few days so she has internet access and I can talk to her on IM. She called me the other day and i got the phone just as it went to voice mail, and not thinking about it i just hit redial or whatever and called her back. We talked for about 10 15 min before the phone disconnected at which point I actually looked at the phone number and realized I called Spain. Yeah I didn't call her back and other than that she sorta thought i hung up on her she wasn't to upset that i didn't call Spain again..os

And so it begins
I spent last night as the only one here. One of the Marks, the one from Kentucky (apparently some kind of exchange deal) got here this morning and dropped off a couple suit cases and then left for what seemed like the rest of the day.
The other Mark, from around Roseville, got here a couple hours ago. I took a very large nap today.
Still waiting for Jefery from Coron to show up.
I hooked up with Kaylin, and went to Target to get some random stuff. I have a "mandatory" meeting at 7pm, and another "mandatory" meeting at 9:30am tomorrow. They use the term mandatory to describe everything, but whatever.
Ha, see I do blog, and I'm here and not there now so I might actually do it. I have an update on the progress meater for my book too, I have to make it out to the car to check what page I'm on.

My Dream
When the paper-less office was introduced it was all these companies saying ok put all of your data into my software. Sweet now all my sales data is in software from company X and all my customer information is in software from company Y. But wait what if I want to correlate my sales data with my customer data. Well that's easy print it all out, and get the interns to put it into a spread sheet. If company X and company Y had thought about it a little further they would see what is coming to light now. With all the new syndication formats, and ways of combining data (rss, atom, rdf, ajax, etc) we are starting to see companies realize that they can no longer lock your information into their product, cause you'll just go use someone else's.

Workin like crazy
I've been spening my online time looking into the whole web2.0 thing. I'm finding it very interesting and have been brain storming in effort to do a nice write up on the subject.
I haven't found any time to read but I did work out a little progress meter to keep track of how far I've gotten.
My Dad's birthday is Thursday, I got Friday off so that we can go out to dinner. YAY.
Mackenrow is good, I haven't gotten to spend as much quality time with her as I would like. Most of the time we have spent has been at work. I've been picking up closing shifts whenever I can, and have actually been getting paid for some of them.
On Saturday I was forced to do some manual labor helping my Dad rip out my Aunts Kitchen. I got woken up at 7 by my mom, after having gone to bed at 4 and I worked at 4. It was supposed to be a breaker shift, but i switched with Ben to close.
I'm not going to be able to make it to Vegas this Year, I need the money. I guess Defcon will have to go on without me.
I move in at school on the 17th of Aug. I have to go to court in Colusa on the 15th, and I start class on the 22nd.

Possible Breakthroughs in Cancer and AIDS Research
People are doing some crazy cool shit these days
And now...
The rest of the week
I worked on Tuesday and we went bowling afterward. I ended up getting off in time to take my time eating and go home and change before bowling, that was nice. I haven't been bowling as well as the first tie I went with Mckenzie, but she ended up getting a really good score the first game.Wednesday was relatively uneventful. I slept till about 1. Mckenzie came over and we hung out till she had to go to work. I like nothing time.
The big Thursday
OK so Thursday was interesting. I had to wake up at 5 to leave the house at 6. My mom followed me on her bike to Mckenzie's house. Then We followed my mom all the way to Monterey, well Salinas but close enough. Then we drove to Laguna Seca to drop off the 1000 magazines that were the reason for the trip. That went off without a hitch and then we went to breakfast, yum.Mckenzie and I left my mom at the hotel and went down to the Warf where we walked around and looked at crap. Then we walked around down town and got to see some sweet bikes they had at the Plaza hotel for a big charity auction. Then we drove down through cannery row and then a little farther to a park that overlooked the ocean. We sat against a rock and looked at the ocean for a little while so I could rest for the drive home. I hadn't gone to bed till 1am, had to wake up at 5am and hadn't slept in the middle. I was tired. We started back home and ended up stopping in Gilroy to rest more. I was really tired. Since we were there we went around and looked what Outlets they had, we didn't end up buying anything, but we did get a Mcy D's Ice cream cone. Back on the road I crews controlled it all the way back to help prevent against tickets. The rest in oakdale was awesome.
We got back to Mckenzie's house and hung out for a little before she had to go to class. We ate some samiches. After I left Mck's I called Cheryl and she told me that everyone was getting together at Central Park for Tracy's going away party. We cooked burgers and through around the football and kicked around the soccer ball. It was a good time. Cheryl showed up a little later with more beer, that was good. Then Mckenzie showed up after her class. I like her. It got kinda cold so everyone got bundled up and we hung out for a little while longer before Josh's Softbal game. The game started out really good but they ended up loosing, oh well.
Friday is Nathania's 21st Bday and they were going to go out to El Balazo, but we all came back to my place instead. It was a small gathering at most 30 but we really knew everyone and it was good fun.
We will miss you Tracy!
Happy Birthday Nathania!
UPDATE: There are pictures from Thursday on the Picture Page
After Sunday comes Monday
So Monday was the fourth of July and my parents were both home and not working. They went for a ride early, and when they came back we went to the 11:30 War of the Worlds. It was a good movie I enjoyed it, but I think (Spoiler alert) Robbie should have died.
After the movie I pretty much just sat around for a while with the rents and I ate a pizza before I had to be at work.
Work sucked balls, It was really dead but fortunately Jess, Breanne, and Cheryl came in to see me, well to hang out and drink anyway I think they ended up seeing more of some of the other outback employees. Anyway that was cool. My last table was a group of People of middle eastern decent, I don't know how your supposed to say that. Apparently they don't celebrate the 4th or something cause they just chilled for hella days. I was trying to get out of there so that Mckenzie and I could go see the fireworks together, but by the time they left and we were on the road, we had missed the end by like a couple minutes. We got to see a few from the freeway.
We met up with the girls at Brandon's house where we chilled and ordered a couple pizzas and crazy bread. That was a good idea.
TJ called Cheryl and was having a get together as well, so we went over there. Rob, Mike O, and TJ were there along with some guys they know and a girl named Stacey who apparently works at Hooters. It was a good time, check the pictures to see for yourself. Rob got the girls to play a game of strip poker in which the girls all ended up loosing at least there tops. Good job Rob! At about 1ish I took Mckenzie back to her car at outback. I went back to TJ's and hung out till about 2:30 when I took Jinnelle home, I got her there at about 3 which she apparently got in trouble for.
Alright here goes Sunday
So Mckenzie and I went to brunch at MCs and Dor hooked it up. Dor Rocks!
We came back to my house and hung out till I had to go to work. Damn, anyway Yep. I got off early and pretty much just came home cause I hadn't been sleeping very well or anything and that sucks.
Alright so that's Sunday in a nutshell.
Thursday, July 07, 2005
Ok maybe I was wrong
Yay Saturday off
I'm a cheap date
When I finally woke up form my nap I called Cheryl. She was chillin with Breanne and had called Stacin to come out. I went over there and we all realized we were hungry. This worked out great cause Mckenzie was working and I hadn't gotten to see her yet. Even better she was on the patio and it was dead. Stacin and I split some wings, He had the cyclone chicken and I went 9 filet style with the garlic mash, Heck Yes. Breanne and Cheryl ordered waters and Cheryl was sipping off Stacin's LITs. I had a couple Big Bloaks and was feelin a fun buzz by the time we left.On the way back to Cheryl's place I had one of the best idea's of my life. The fireworks stand takes credit/debit cards. Awesome, about $30 later Stacin and I were the happiest two people around. We went back to Cheryl's with our newly purchased bags of boombasticness, and waited around for a little bit (I don't remember why). Then I called Mckenzie to meet us at the place where we were going to light them.
We got there and had only brought one lighter, which of course broke within the first few sparklers we tried to light. Luckily there were some guys chillin smoking in the lot and they came over and let us barrow their lighter. I just spilled sprite on the keyboard by the way. Yeah so them when I tried to turn the keyboard over to dump out the sprite, I caught the can with the cord and spilled more on me and the floor, awesome. Ok so we're lighting fireworks and I had this cool one, a big fountain with these four balls one the sides that are supposed to blow up and do something cool as the fountain thing is burning down. So I go to light a sparkler off of the fountain and just as it gets lit one of the side balls goes off. Cheryl got a picture, it's the craziest shit ever. She's being sorta weird about it though and hasn't gotten it transferred yet, I think she's busy, something about going to work from like 10pm to 7am or something I don't know :)
After that We went and got Jack in the box and hung out at Cheryl's for a while then went home cause I was tired and hadn't been getting much sleep.
Other Stuff
Ok so I've updated the audioscrobbler feed on the right. It should work and tell you the most recent songs that I'm listening to as long as I'm listening to something currently or recently. Also I've added a stats thing so I can see how often people are checking this thing out and where they are coming from how they got here and all sorts of other stuff. Interestingly enough there have been a couple people that found it through a search engine and looked around a little.
I started writing this blog at about 11:15 it's currently about 12:30. I got a little distracted by the new stuff and the sprite getting spilled. But I need some feedback from the ladies. Molson, as in the beer company has come out with a new men's fragrance and I want to know what you ladies think, cause it kinda smells like beer but it's the good beer smell. Anyway leave me some comments and let me know.

Geared up to be a long one
Friday - Golfing
Bobby and Rabbit didn't show so it ended up Mckenzie, Gabe, Henry and I. It was Mckenzie's first time Golfing ever so we had to show her how it's done. We all proceded to do horribly, even Henry wasn't doing all that well.We got to the sixth hole and Mckenzie had been getting better, while I think the rest of us had been getting progressively worse. Henry "lost" the score card on about the third hole, so unfortunetly there is no evidence to how we really did. Anyway back to the sixth hole, like I said Mckenzie was doing better and better and she had nocked it just off the green in only a few shots. She set up about 30 feet from the pin and chipped it onto the green. Clunk... That shit rolled right into the damn cup, I guess the sixth hole is extra lucky. We finished out the last three holes and parted ways with Gabe and Henry.
I knew her mom loved my ass
After golfing we were both really hot so we went back to her place for a dip in the pool. Her mom was home when we got there but she was on her way out wich would usually mean that we couldn't go swimming cause cause there aren't supposed to be boys over when no one's home. I sat down on the couch and Mc went upstairs. Her mom cam in and asked if we were going to go swimming and I said that I thought so. She said she was on her way out to get a pineapple upside down cake pan from Williams Sonoma. She then asked me is she could trust me. Being that I'm not one to try to screw trust with a parent if I can help it I of course said yes. Mckenzie was blown away by the idea that her mom was going to leave with me still there, but hey I'm a good kid. AnywayThe Fair
I left Mckenzies house to go do some laundry and stuff before we went to the fair. I got all my stuff done and was mostly chillin when it came around to about 5:10 or so and I realized that Cheryl had not called yet. So I called her and she said they were already there, I was slightly irritated cause she was supposed to call when they were leaving. I got over it. Called up Mckenzie and went to pick her up. I tried to help her mom figure out what to do with this outdoor candle lamp thing she had bought. And then we left. We parked in the business lot accross the street to avoid the $8 parking. We walked to the gas station before hand to get some refreshments, The lady behind the counter asked Mckenzie how old she was and almost tried to ID us so she could get some matches. I'm still not sure why she got them, but they came in handy. On to the fair, we caught up with Tracy, Belding, Adam, and Josh in the parking lot and walked in with them. After a couple of sumwhat frustraiting calls to Cheryl (she wasn't in a good mood) we met up with her, Jess and Breanne. On to the Beer. Beers were $6 so that blew but it's ok cause I didn't spend $20 on rides so I had more money for beer. I thinkI olny ened up with 2 when all was said and done. Mckenzie and I walked around and checked out the bunnies and the Gardens while everyone else hit the rides. I hadn't been to the fair before and I never realized how big the whole thing was. There were a lot of info-mercial type booths with things for sale, and Mckenzie had to save me from buying a few things. I still think I need that glass cutter thing. Anyway so good times at the fair. We were all supposed to go over to Dim's house afterward to chill but he ended up with something he had to take care of. I hung out with Mckenzie for a little bit afterward and then took her home cause I was really tired.It was a good day. Long, but good. I didn't end up getting shot at, and Mckenzie didn't have to take any bullets, so all in all it was a good day.

Gave it a few days
Day 8
So tonight will be my eighth day in a row at work. Judgin by how tired i got last night this should get iteresting. I picked up Jerremies patio last friday, April's Tuesday, and Tiffany's Wed. I get paid today though and i'm making money so i'm on my way to my goal. YAY.In other news
I've been working a lot so there hasn't been too much news. Sleeping alot, although today i was able to get out of bed at 9:30 and take a shower. I'm wearing shorts, and hopefully i will get out of the house at some point before i have to go to work (5:15). Maybe I'll go read. Mackenrow made cookies for my dad, and he's excited, at least that's what my mom tells me, cause i've actually only seen my dad for a total of about 5 min i the last week. He works till about 5:30, and I go to work before he gets home and he's in bed by the time i get back. Oh yeah good bye 8 months, Heck Yes. I need to get out though. Like I said I'm going to the fair on friday, trying to get Mckenzie to get it off so she can come too. Oh yeah I'm supposed to go golfing on friday too. Anyway, Cheryl and Jess, and a crapload of other people are coming to the fair, YAY. I heard someone can't come cause their sig-other won't let them, but whatever he's a punk anyway. Alright i think that's enough. Oh just so everyone knows, you can leave comments to the posts just click the link that says "# comments" where the # is usually a 0, yeah so anyway leave me comments so i know who's checking this thing out, if I know my audiece I can try to make it more interesting for yall. Later.Tuesday, June 28, 2005

More book reading
Golf day!
Scratch that, hopped danny's fence onto the first T at Springtown. Got kicked off on like the 4th or 5th hole, by a marshal that ended up fallowing us as we chipped balls all the way back to danny's house where we played a little Tiger Woods (Yal).
Posted some pictures from today's outing.
The rest of it
Not too much sleep last night, well ok like none, but it's cool I didn't mind much. Last night and Friday night Mckenzie and I hit up Adam's house for a couple of get togethers. I finally learned how to actually play fuck the dealer. I think I was playing it wrong, although I think I like my version better.My room's getting progressively cleaner, so that's good.
I'm starting to think about going away to school. It's sorta weird. I'm excited to be going, but at the same time it's a big difference. I've spent 91% of my life in the same place. I think i've gotten comfortable, and i'm uncomfortable about being uncomfortable again.

Boing Boing: Banned Nepali radio station transmits via megaphone
Now that's some dedication, wholly crap. The thing that bugs me though is that we couldn't do that in america. Are we less free than the Nepalis? Seriously if I tried to stand on a building even if i owned it, and shout things over a megaphone every night the cops would come and stop me, especially if i drew a crowed that large. At the least I would probably be charged with not having a permit. I still don't want to go to Nepal though.
Talk about being motivated
middle of it
I read today, YAY. This is an exciting day. I started Cryptonomicon. Mckenzie read her psychology book. We sat outside Starbucks, it was sunny and I wore board shorts and flip flops. I ended up putting on some sun screen cause I didn't want my legs to burn, Mckenzie made fun of me for being white, I told her brown people shouldn't make fun of the white kids cause it's not nice. I bought a quizno's sub, double myskeet chicken and BBQ sauce with cheese, m, m, m toasted.Worked it Out!
Work rocked, I had a crapload of awesome customers that basically sat around and drank and didn't make me do too much work, but I ended up with like four tables most of the night so I was busy. Allison came in with a couple of her friends. I think Lloyed hates me. It's weird though cause it's almost like he wants to like me, he just feels the need to pick on me about shit that I don't have much control over most of the time, but that I couldn't even bother trying to explain to him, cause he's one of those people that "doesn't want to hear it". I'll admit there are times I could do a little more food running and such, but if I need to get something done for my customer in a timely manner, I'm sorry I'm gunna walk out of the back and not take a salad or something to a table on the opposite side of the restaurant that is probably going to be really needy, in which case I would have to get something for them, most likely from the back, which puts me right back where I started, only now I've made my table wait longer. UUUUUUUgggggggg! Sallies nuts, I think she likes me and I like her, but she gets really snappy when we're working.Thursday, June 23, 2005
Picture Day!!!!!!
Picked up Mckenzie cause her sister took her car. We came back to my place and she finally met my mom. Did the whole first meal that one of us had cooked thing, Heck Yes mac-n-cheese. Mckenzie didn't dig my mac that much cause apparently she makes it with only milk (Yuck); I make mine with only butter (I can't believe it's not butter actually) so I would suppose that's like going from 1% to whole milk (extra Yuck). Heck yes for the 2% kids.
Anyway so mac-n-cheese and cookies and redvines, mmm lunch. Then we watched Hostage It was really good, it has this hella creepy love story sort of subplot that rocked ass. The movie was over and we still didn't have anything to do so I started cleaning my room while she read Stuff. She was a big help though, I'm always more motivated to clean when I have someone to talk to while i'm doing it, and it's so much easier in person than on the phone cause you don't get that krick in your neck. In the process of cleaning my dad came home and my sis came over, so my entire family was here, that's rare. So I found a See's candy thing for a free one pound, Heck Yes. Brieanne called and wanted to go to the mall, I was taking out the garbage at the time. About fifteen minutes later I remembered that she had called. We got ready to go and then jumped in the volvo. Picked up Breianne and off to the mall. Strait to See's. Did you know they will let you customize your own pound, for the same price as one of the crappy pre done assortments? That rules. So we picked out a bunch of candy and then ate it while shopping around. I tried on clothes and sport coats and blazers and all sorts of stuff, I found a bunch of shirts that I liked but I need more money for all that.
I needed a soda. We went to McDonalds, Yay. All I wanted was a soda but I ordered a quarter pounder with cheese meal, supersized the soda, and ate everything.
More malling, Yay. So then we were done at the mall, oh yeah we smelled candles too. So we're done at the mall and we head to Wal*Mart. I love Wal*Mart. On the way there I break out the camera and start taking pictures of like everything. I really want one of those under-armor things, that was cool. So then we're going around taking pictures of random shit and generally just having fun, throwing mini nerf footballs around and riding bikes. They have this one with a really wide back tire and a raked front end like a choppier, it's got a center stand too, not just a kick stand. Then who do we see, it's Mckenzie's mom, Awesome. She was looking for some weird doll that none of us had ever heard of, I helped her look but couldn't find it. Oh yeah somewhere back there Mckenzie and I played basketball with one of those really big rubber balls. Mckenzie's mom told us to be careful about getting in trouble and that she would disavow us if we were to get caught, you know the usual. So then we walked around some more, and I think we were mostly done with Wal*Mart after that, a little more throwing the balls around. Oh wait I found a hat, I put it on. Mckenzie got it and put it on, she looked cute. Then we put on ties, and I got the hat back, I looked hot. I found a shirt with little music things on it, it matched the hat. So off to starbucks cause I had to go pee, we waited cause I didn't realize till we were already walking out of Wal*Mart. Then to Barnes&Nobel. Mckenzie's gunna bake me stuff so she was looking at cookbooks, I took a picture of one of the recipes so we wouldn't have to buy the book. The I took a picture of a book on Project Management that looked really good.
We brought Brieanne back home and then drove around cause my parents are weird and I can't have anyone over after like 9 or something. So we drove around and ended up in Walnut Creek, Mckenzie was hungry so we went to McDonalds again. YAY. Then we realized how tired I was so I drove her home and than came home started the upload process for all the pictures and passed the f*ck out.
We're supposed to go read today. Mckenzie has to read her Psych book and I have that Cryptonomicon book that I want to start. She has class later, I have work at 4, I'm on the patio so come visit me.

Their up
I took a shower pre-noon today, that's exciting. My mom has commented on the fact that I take shorter showers than I used to. She has also mentioned that she wants me to be up and about and showered and everything earlier. I have determined that these two ends work against each other. I take shorter showers later in the day cause i'm usually about to go do something and am motivated to get out quickly. Earlier in the day I ain't got shit to do so I take my sweet time and soak up the warm showery goodness. Oh well.
I don't work today and so far have absolutely no plans, so that's fun, I'm sitting here showered wearing jeans and I shaved my neck. I've been growing my chin out and have decided to grow the rest of it to a bit of a scruff as well, at least until I get tired of it anyway. But I can't stand having my neck all scruffy cause it's just irritating. Cheryl doesn't like the chin pubes, but I don't care.
I told Jamie that I'm claiming an entire day with her before I leave, the terms are that we have to spend the whole day together no matter how tired of each other we get. Oh and I found her blog again.
I'm working on promoting this thing so i'm linking to everything I get the chance to, within reason of course.
way too tired for this right now
I've been reading about a book called Getting Things Done, it looks interesting and it's all about becoming super organized which has always appealed to me, it actually has me thinking about throwing some of this stuff I have away.
I have a couple pics of Mckenzie that I took tonight after bowling, I'll post them in the next few days to my Yahoo! Photos page.She's definitely making me better at bowling. I got a 120 this time, and that was even with her "help" on the first couple frames (I was getting more beer).
Off to bed...

Well that was interesting
So went and played some poker last night, that was the most retarded game of poker I have ever played. For some reason I didn't think about the fact that Carson would not have gone all in on the first hand if he didn't have something really good. My dumb ass went all in on a pair or something, I don't remember what Mckenzie had but she went in too, Carson pulled the strait. Got to watch the rest of that game and then watched a little of the second then left.
You don't get a mention this time, but I think you can figure why.
about to go to lunch with Cheryl and Jess, YAY. I had a liquor class earlier, that was cool, Joe kept asking me all the hard questions cause I wasn't new, that sucked. But I learned, YAY.
Slept well last night, that was good. Bid Maden After After party tonight what what. Mike's putting me on 50 23 24, so this should be interesting ah crap that means i'm virtually closing, this blows, oh well I think Gabe's closing tonight so we can head over to the party afterward, Heck Yes.

Crazy
Pre-Dad's Day Day
Anyway so my dad made his famous Swedish pancakes today, they rocked. My Girl came over too, my mom was down helping out my aunt so it was my dad, sis, girly, and I; oh and the dog too. She likes Swedish pancakes, dad found out.
My sis got my dad some wine and cheese and some chocolate, YAY. I got him some spray paint stuff to try out so he can do the windshield on his bike the way he wants. Went to the mall with the girly looking for her dad, we got him shorts, her family was not very helpful in the process. I had fun though, then we went to the bookstore and then we got ice cream. Then we came back to my place and took a nap, cause I was hella tired, now she's gone. She had to work, so that should tell you about where I am in the day. Oh yeah I not only woke up but once again I had a shower Pre-Noon again. Heck yes.
Cheryl got off work a little bit ago and she's gunnaI shower and take a nap. Then i'm going to try and convince her to go to the mall with me again, cause I wanna look around at shit, Heck Yes.
So I'm using this thing called w.bloggar so this thing might end up a little more spell checked and stuff, we'll see I might not even end up liking it. Whatever.
Retard Quote of the day: "Put that shit down, tha' don't belong to you"
Yeah dumb bitches shouldn't have kids, she didn't look like she could have handled one and she had two. I hate people.

What's been going down
I eventually started applying for jobs and got hired at Outback and Black Angus. I went with Outback beacuase it looked like more fun. It was awesome cause i got hired before i knew that i had "quit" MCs and so i told them the real reason I left and they totally understood, that rocked. I've been working there a few months now and I love it. The people are mostly awesome, there's a couple that mysteriosly can't stand me, but whatever, no one else seems to understand it either, so to each his own. There's always someone to talk to or shoot the shit with cause there's usually at least like 18-20 people on the floor every night. I work with a ghuy that used to push me into lockers and shit in like 7th grade, that's funny and it's a big joke now, Mike's a good guy. I've made a lot of new friends. I'm getting better at poker and actually won some money the game before last -- "I will beat you and I will take all your money Rob" -- he didn't listen, hehe.
I got into college, I'm going to be a Mechatronic engineer at Chico state, I move into UV on the 17th of aug and start class on the 22nd. It should be fun. I definetly will be there 3 years though my major is a high unit one and it's actually impossible to get all the classes and everythign done in two. No worries.
I've been seeing someone for about the last two weeks (Keepin it low key for now). As of last night she's officially my girlfriend. I like her, she's cute. We're 12 together, I like that. I hug her form behind while we walk, she likes that. She's going to be on a plane to Spain on the 17th of aug, yep the same day i move in at chico, I don't like that. She'll be gone for the semester, i'll be gone for three years give or take holidays and shiznit, we'll see what happens.
So there it is, I think i'm caught up. I suppose i could add in the fact that i'm up to 5 books now (excluding computer books and crap). Oh my dad has been teaching me to ride his motorcycle, we've only been able to do it a few times cause I work most nights, and we've both been busy. The family is doing good, my sis moved to a new place and her new roommate doesn't seem too crazy, i like her she seems nice, she's kinda cute too, she's like 30 and seems to have her shit together, Sarah seems much happier. Mom's still with FrictionZone, Dad's still workin his ass off at Devcon. They both have Futuras now Dad's is red Mom's is this cool blue-green-silver that i keep telling her would look sick with clear turn signal lenses, and she keeps telling me she doesn't want to blend anymore, fewy.
Yeah so I'm gunna start trying to get on here like once a week at least, i figure it's the only lifeline to some and will be for the next 3 years prolly so as long as some one keeps interest, and heck even if no one does it should be good for me to do this ocassionally; maybe i'll make my rents start reading it, so they can keep up with my life while i'm away. I'm gunna miss everyone, I've never been gone that long.

Eliminate Worry
Everything will work itself out eventually, until then just go with whatever, can it really be that bad? If it is change it.
Another thing i’ve done that helps is become more active in the things I care about. Why worry about it if your not willing to change it. If your working to change it don’t worry about it.
It sounds simple, but it’s worked for me.
Example:
This might sound kind of evil but whatever.
I was best freinds with this girl for a long time. We have a long involved history, and we have always fought a lot. A while back i realized that reason that I was soo upset by some of the things that happened was because I was disapointed, or worried about what had happened. She’s not my friend anymore, I don’t expect her to be. I’m not disapointed when she does something I dissagree with. I’m not worried that something i do is going to dissapoint her. I still love her with all my heart, but she’s not my friend.
It’s entirely mental, but isn’t that what worry is? By lowering my expectations I’m no longer worried about the outcome of my decisions.
I love my life!

Being useful
My previous best friend of hella days, almost can't stand me anymore. I've recently taken to the idea that we are not friends, which makes things easier because I'm not expecting her to be my friend so when she does something non-friend like I'm not disappointed. It works well most of the time. And when she does something friend like, I'm pleasantly surprised. So most of the time she is really short with me and all but when there is something that she needs me to do for her she gets all nice to me, and all of a sudden wants me to hang out, which she lies to her bf about by the way. He and I don't get along for various reasons, I'm just fine being in the same room with him though, he's getting better, for a while he wouldn't even come in the same building. I work with her by the way.
And my English teacher hates me, on Tuesday it got real bad she was all threatening to drop me from the class if I didn't and shit. Thursday there was no problem, and mysteriously she needed my help with the projector and shit. Hmm this is getting to be way to coincidental.
Whatever, I'm gunna leave anyway, get my ass out of this place. I love the song I'm listening to right now -- Breaking Benjamin - Rain --
Thanks to the peeps last night for coming out to OC Thursday, I really appreciate that, we had 15 people last night. Bob's still getting all pissy about it, I think he thinks we drive away customers. NOT TRUE, we were just 15 people that would not have been there otherwise.
Got to go to work doing books again today.

This space intentionally left blank
Supposed to be getting ready for work.
I'm going to leave, I'm not sure when.
Regardless of how the college thing turns out,
I'm leaving.
It's time for me to go.
There's nothing left for me here.
I'm going nowhere.
I've got no reason not to go nowhere somewhere else.
I've discovered I'm incapable of holding a conversation with someone.
I was sitting on a couch in Starbs with LJ and Pat the other day,
I thought we were all talking.
Then some of Pat's friends showed up and he started talking to them.
I realized that I couldn't hold a conversation with LJ,
I'm not sure why.
It led me to the realization that LJ and Pat had been having the conversation,
I had just been inserting little comments here and there.
I'm not sure if I have any friends anymore.
Everyone that I would sort of consider my friend,
turns out to be someone else's friend,
that happens to be able to stand me.
