Je suis bleu

Today sucked. My car is broken again. The "break failure" and "check engine" light on on, as usual. So I finaly decided to take it to Dave's (to get the parts I needed LAST time) and then on to Midas to check out the new problems. What's more? Got sent home from work two hours early today because I nearly lost consciounus (I masculinity issues so I'm not going to used the word "faint"). Due to a careless insulin overdose my blodd sugar dropped to dangerous levels. Manager T. then spent about half an hour lecturing me on why I should have informed of of this. She was right of course, but I don't really like people looking over my shoulder on what I like to consider personal affairs. It makes me feel like a little kid. Anyway, after that we discussed....other things. This link sums up my feelings pretty well http://www.ubersite.com/cgi-bin/message_get.cgi?message=1093244549224124283

Flunked another French 4 quiz, yeah!

"Chowabunga" - Sealab & Spacelab 2021, Grizzleby's commercial

Argh.

Once again I got chewed out by my bosses at work. I'm not asking enough customers for their phone numbers (for the marketing department, though I wouldn't mind having some myself). Also, I'm not pushing enough magazines. They say I'm not self-confident enough. They're obviously confusing a lack of confidence with an abundance of lethargy; but I didn't say that, of course, you don't tell your employer that you basically just don't give a fuck.

LSOB at the Movies!

5(_Y_)/10(_Y_) five outta ten asses kicked!

I saw many movies...Here's the rundown

Alien Vs predator - A good a movie but I'm disappointed. It had a lot more potential and didn't live up to my expectations 7/10. My advice to you is rent the game or buy the movies predator and Alien. This one kinda blows.

The Bourne supremacy - awesome movie, 'nuff said 9/10 I liked the first better I was pissed off that his gal pal died. That was so sad can't anything work out for this guy?! Anyway, everyone who saw this movie will give it a ten but I say nine. The Bourne Identity was still a better movie, at least I think.

The Girl Next Door - I rented this after a bad day at work. Suddenly a bad day became a good day. I was expecting trash, with perhaps some titty shots. What I got was a decent well directed and well written movie. With one crappy boob view. I strongly related to the character his friends remind me of my friends. And of course it stared everyone's favorite Canadian Cutie, talk about a tent pitcher. 8/10

I-Robot - Good very good kind of corny but hey, robots what'd ya expect? Good underlying mystery had a similar feel to minority report, view of the future is probably optimistic though, I don't expect hardly anything to have changed in 30 years but that's just the opinion of one pessimistic technophile. 9/10.

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle - (LSOB's CHOICE!) 10/10 See it. Buy it. LOVE it. This movie kicks all ten asses. It's funny, it has a good soundtrack, hot chicks, and yes everyone a "good message"

Love Actually - As much as love Grant pffffffffffttttttttt this one's a stinker! 5/10

Next on my list: Garden State, Napoleon Dynamite, The Notebook, Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow, F 9/11

Back to School

Senior year has begun. Today is the first day of my last "grade". It's strange, as a first grader it feels as if school will go on forever. Imagining your graduation is like trying to read a poster at the end of a very long dark tunnel. I took some comfort (as well as some bitterness) in knowing that there would always be one more grade after this one. One more desk, one more locker, one more teacher. After this year it's over, if I want it to be. I won't have to worry about parents seeing report cards or turning in homework or anything like that ever again. I don't even have to go to school anymore, I'm 18. If I felt like it I could change from part-time at Best Buy to full time and cops would drag me home to my parents by the ear or anything like that for playing hooky.

Back to school shopping was not the celebration it usually is. I now pay for many of the things I need with my own cash. Supplies included. I probably have enough clean paper to last me into college leftover from previous semesters. I've manage to keep folders in relatively good condition so instead of buying new ones I can just change the subjects on the front (it's expensive for me to buy new stuff because I won't settle for anything other than top of the line) now that my parents want me to buy things I'm begins to see my frugal side. As for clothes, Mom has always done a good job on that for me. For my birthday I got a $100.00 gift card to the mall. I could probably buy some new stuff but there's no need to. I have things for cold weather, and warm weather so I'm covered (literally!) I won't spend a dime of that till things get holey or I ruin them in the wash (Oh yeah, no growing out of stuff. I'm finished with puberty it seems) My shoes are the same ones I've had for three years. They look terrible. Really. However I do have one of those Dr Scholl's pads inside each so they're still relatively comfortable. I think the next shoes I get will be orthopedic. Or I still have the steel toed work boots in my closest. I will need some new notebooks for AP Chem and French 4. I filled those notebooks and then some

Little has changed at school, I've a locker on the first floor now near the boisterous ROTC room. Still a lot of hotties. Of course. The school has a 60% female ratio so that's not a surprise. Our classes seems to have been blessed with the most though, even freshman will admit that '05 has always had an unusual proportion o babes. Not that I'm complaining. Here are my new classes for this school year.

1. Computer Mastery
2. Honors United States Government
3. Jazz Band I
4. Advanced Placement Chemistry
5. Library assistant
6. Foods II
7. French 4 (francais, whatever)
8. Automotive Technology 4
9. Mythology

I also got a really good backpack. understatement, it's the best back pack ever made. It's gray and black and has tons of features (padded straps with ventilation, lap top pocket, cellphone and CD holder, key pouch, stabilizer platform etc....THANK YOU VICTORINOX and thank you B.B. for my discount from 60 to 33. NICE)

Space Monkeys Meet The Sea Munkeys

"congratulations. You have selected ultra wash plus. The best car wash money can by! When the arrows turn green please drive foreword." - Autowash

That didn't turn out so well. The windshield was hot and the water was cold. Big crack bad. Me call number to have repaired. Wash not get all dirt off. Me mad. So yeah, I paid an extra three bucks for the "ultra wash plus" and got a busted windshield and the dirt didn't even come off. What's more? As I'm leaving a woman tells me my brake lights don't work. I JUST had those fixed. I hate this fucking car. I hate it so very very much.

Well with that said. The day proceeded like always. I watched TV, got bored, masturbated. Got bored and watched TV and so on. Some time around 3:00 I was playing guitar during the commercials for Corky Ramono when I get this phone call.

Me: Hi?
Sgt Mc-something: Hello, this is sergeant Mc-something
Me: Oh, sorry my Dad's not home right now would you like me to take a message? (I assumed it was someone from the Sheriff's office calling for him but it was a different type o sergeant)
Sgt Mc-something: I'm callings on behalf of the USAF we were supposed to talk
Me: Cha, on Tuesday, 2:00 right?
Sgt Mc-something: What day is it?
Me: Monday?

You see I thought it was Monday because Monday is the time of the week when Comedy Central generally shows their new movies. It was such a trip to find out it was Tuesday, it was like I was living in a dream. Anyway I went to the recruiting place which I found only because it was near my favorite Deli. He gave me some information and I took a test on a computer that was kinda like an SAT but easier, during one of the algebra problems I actually discovered I was having fun. Obviously I'm ready for school to begin again. It was kind of like a job interview except the roles were reversed. He wanted me there unlike normally when employers just want to get rid of me. Also the fact that I had a 5-week-5:00-shadow and was wearing the same smelly Hawaiian shirt from three days ago didn't seem to influence his opinion; Seems interesting, lots of good benefits as well as a tasty meatball sub I ate later.

So there are some interesting things happening this week; It's that time of the year again - back to school time! I love buyinh back to school supplies. Especially calculators and pens! Also Sloshed in Translation is coming up this Sunday at 9:00 and my bi-weekly grat (paycheck) is arriving on Friday. w00t.

"'ey, who farted?"

Artificially Flavored

Mom: I already enrolled you in school, so you don't have to worry about that. You should have come, it was really nice. Remember how crowed the lines were freshman year? Well most of those people dropped out of school so there's only a few people in line.

Me: Oh, well that's good.
Mom: "I saw some of your friends there, the coerced me into buying one of those little art books. They said 'I know he'll want one.' Also have you taken your school photo yet for the year book?"
Me: No I don't so.
Mom: Well I told you yesterday that today was the last day, you better go now unless you want one of those no photo available signs.
Me: Ok, I'm gonna take a shower first.
Mom: You can't, there's only an hour left before they close; and this is the day the freshmen come on. If you wouldn't spend all day lying around this wouldn't happen.
Me: *Gets in the car and sniffs under his arm just checking*

I drove by Taco Bell by the way and the thought of lunch lured me there like a siren's song. I was only 15 minutes from school and since all my other enrollment stuff had been taken care of I could probably skip the line and go straight to the photographer, so I deemed it safe to stop for food. I got a chicken quesadilla and ate it on the way while I drove. Bad idea. Those things are messier than they look. I ripped off a piece and accidentally got grilled chicken as well as "THREE DIFFERENT KINDS OF CHEESES!" all over my shirt. But, got to school in time and I bypassed most of the enrollment process without anyone yelling at me for cutting. I just turned my shirt inside out after cleaning most of it off, you could hardly tell. Worked out fine I thought until, well you know those times when you're stuck in line or on an elevator with someone you really don't want to talk to? It's like should I pretend I like this guy or just stand awkwardly quiet. The first and last time we met Brendan, he and I were in a car going to McDonalds. He said something really offensive and I opted for the awkward lull.

Mete: *skips the entire line and goes to the photography area and stands behind me*
Me: . . . . .
Mete: . . . .
Me: *glances briefly over to see if he is who I thought he was. He is. turns back quickly*
Mete: So, hows your summer?
Me: Good. Yours?
Mete: Okay, boring though. You work?
Me: Yeah at Best Buy.
Mete: How much time do you spend there?
Me: Maybe 5 hours a week
Mete: Really?!
Me: Why? Does that sound like a lot or a little?
Mete: Little. Sometimes I work 50 hours a week. I'm a lifeguard *points at his tan* (I had noticed though. The guy looks like Achilles buff. Bronze. Shiny too. Actually more like the Oscar award)
Me: Save anyone yet?
Mete: No, not yet.
Photographer: Good boy! You smiled *laughs* that's one out twenty.
Lil' fat kid: okay.
LFK's Mother: *pushes him foreword and takes out schedule* Now lets find a good time to schedule your birthday party.
Mete: *looks over his shoulder* Did someone say party....*sniffs* you smell Mexican food?
Me: No. *sits down in chair*
Photographer: "Now say cheese! Aw come on smile, I can get the puppet."

She got one out of twenty-one to grin like a moron. Not that I don't like to smile but I prefer it be captured not posed. It just seems wrong, like fluorescent lighting. All the really old photographs you see never have people smiling in them, they looked so beautiful and stoic. Timeless. Getting your picture taken was a once in a life time opportunity. Now it seems cheesiness is the style. If she wanted a smile she should have told me a joke....or showed me her boobs. Either one.

Outta Bed C:

Have I mentioned the Wendy's and McDonalds now offer a choice of apple or orange slices in place of their usualy greasy fries? The only place not to jump on this heath food bandwagon is Burger King whihc spent years trying to make their fires like McDonalds. They also now give out chocolate milk as an alternative to tooth decaying pop.

Me: "I'd like a cheeseburger kids meal, no pickles with chocolate milk."
Wendy (Ok, maybe it wasn't actually her): "We're out of chocolate milk."
Me: "Damn you!" *screams gibberish than drives off*
2nd Wendy's on Fair Lawn
Employee: "Welcome to Wendy's, I'll be right with you."
employee: "Okay, may I take your order."
Me: "Yeah, I'd like a cheeseburger kids meal with chocolate milk. No pickles on the burger"
Employee: "Cheeseburger kids meal with no pickles and chocolate milk. Would you like anything else?"
Me: No thanks
Employee: $2.67, first window.

The chocolate milk was good. Not great. But good. I think it was made with skim like the kind they used in the school cafeteria. Ah memories, taste like middle school.

Dean, my guitar teacher told me that he would be playing guitar at this cafe tonight, so I went to see him. He wasn't there but there were some guys from my school playing. Daniel and Rutajit were there I talked to them for a while, the usual stuff like what are your plans after high school, of course all I could do was shrug. I wanted to go to college any place that would accept me; but I wasn't kissing any dean's ass in particular.

So then I went to work, I work tomorrow as well actually. So more than 5 hours this week. Incredible. Something like this happens about as often as the alignment of the planets. Sold a few magazines, and saw Jo he like everyone thought the robot was cool but not $99.99 cool. Suggested it could take over the world (that's funny if you know the thing is only 1 and 1/2 feet tall.

Ah, crap.

discover what candy you are @ quiz me

Lemon heads? Balderdash! I hate lemon heads. When faced with hard candies I tend to bite not suck which can lead to toothache. I love lemon, but Lemon heads don't live up to the lemon taste, too bland and not citrusey enough. The only thing they're good at is rolling down movie theater floors or to throw at the screen.

STuff to post

Today was my Dad's birthday, I got him the watch he wanted. It was also Elle's birthday she is 7 now. I wish I was 7 again, but only if I could retain my current memories, or if I could just be 7 now instead of back in the nineties. I would prefer to spend as much of my life in the 21st century as possible. It's just better.

17 Years Later

I turned 18. My birthday was on July 30. There are no details interesting enough to attempt to record here. Cake was tasty. Got some cool gifts. Voted. Got my own Hastings card. Purchased a pornographic magazine blah blah blah.
