A Lot To Be Said

Ah yes, what's a better way to start off the week than with a break from school? Before I get to that, there's a lot of stuff that happened over the weekend that I failed to shed some light on. Lets start by going back to Saturday night. After my whole encounter with generosity at Martin's, I got a little phone call from Ryan. Now I just got done eating supper, mind you, when he asked me if I wanted to go to Wings. I told him I just ate, and he was like oh...ok. Just because I ate doesn't mean I'm not gonna go, why pass up a good time? Ryan comes to pick me up around 7ish. We didn't have to be to Wings until 8 so we moseyed on over to Best Buy for a while. On the way there, Matt asked Ryan to stop by Menards. To quote Ryan, "Why the hell would I go to Menards?" He wanted to see if they had lumber. Now I'm in the back seat thinking to myself, "No they don't have any, they ran out of lumber completely. No joke, its a crisis, the entire lumber yard...EMPTY!!!!" He probably just wanted to see if they had the kind he needed, I was just giving him a hard time about it. I told him to just look from the road and you could see the lumber yard, and sure enough, there was wood in there. Don't ask me what he needs it for, I have no clue. Back Best Buy, I still have my cash from my check, but I didn't want to buy anything, at least not yet. I wanted to wait until Sunday when they had sales on stuff, some may call it cheap, I call it strategy. So I just wandered around for an hour and watched Matt and Ryan play NCAA Football 2005. I was watchin them play when out of no where, its Paul. I was like hey whats up man? He was like hey not much. I was like thats cool. Matt was like OMG!! its Paul, go away. Alright I'm gonna stop with the whole like thing, its startin to bug me. Anyway Matt kept tellin Paul like what do you want and go away, sarcastically. He called us mean. See thats what I get, I say hi to Lauren's boyfriend and he calls me mean. Why? I don't understand. So, Paul left and we headed over to Wingies. Just killed some time there playin Need For Speed until Chris, Jessica, and Chris showed up. The hostess at the front door was kinda hot. I thought she was at least. She asked us if we were 21, Matt said do we look like it? She said some people think I do. Matt said you look like you're 18, she said 17. The whole time I'm thinkin, why hello...But, that never happened. Just had a good time eating and joking around, talkin about the Scherminator. Then about halfway through our meal this kid gets up, I don't even think he ate anything, and he starts playing that Airplane game they have there. He was louder than shit and he was playing it like if he kept playing he was gonna win something. He was at it for like an hour. He would beat a level and then start doin the cabbage patch. Dear lord child, I wanted to go unplug the machine and dance the cabbage patch right in front of his face. C. Patch that you pud muffin. We finally got done and called it a night. That wraps up Saturday.

Don't worry, there's nothing really important to talk about Sunday. Those sales I was waiting for, oh yea. I bought 4 dvds, 3 cds, and video game all under 80 bucks. I bought Formula 51, Don't Say A Word, From Hell, and Donnie Darko. CD's, I bought blink-182, Nickleback, and Guns N' Roses. The game is Red Dead Revolver and it kicks ass, Rockstar never fails to produce great quality games. So I just listened to my CD's, played my game, and watched Don't Say A Word. That's Sunday in a bag.

Woke up today to a ginormous breakfast. Yes, I said ginormous. My mom woke me up and said that MY DAD made breakfast, she told me to wake up then I could go back to bed. She kissed me on the head and left (awwwww). I'm a momma's boy, and I have no shame in being so. I go downstairs and see sausage, eggs, toast, waffles, and bacon. It was absolutely delish. If I could, I'd eat it again. I ate and went back upstairs to watch Donnie Darko. Now, I highly recommend this movie. It is very, very good. It's sad though, that's the only thing. I won't lie, it gets me teared up. I'll tell you why. Scroll down to END if you don't want the movie ruined.

*******************MOVIE SPOILER AHEAD***********************


Alright here's the plot, Its October 1988 and small town USA is about to witness the end of the world. Its home to Donnie Darko, a brilliant but troubled teenager, plagued by terrifying visions which he alone knows the meaning of. With his class mate and soul mate Gretchen and a mysterious ex teacher, nicknamed Grandma Death, he must unravel the strange occurrences affecting his school, his home, and his life before a horrifying spectre known only as "Frank" leads Donnie to the edge of his sanity. Now whats so sad about this movie, is watching Donnie and Gretchen fall in love, and then what happens in the end. Alright here comes the movie spoiler so if you don't want to know, skip down. Donnie, believes that Frank is just an imaginary being only to find out that he does indeed exist in reality. Frank accidentally runs over Gretchen, and in conciquence, Donnie shoots and kills him. Its really hard to explain what happens after that, you have to se the movie to get a real grasp of the meaning. The point is, Donnie is given the chance to control fate. He was suppose to die when the jet engine fell through his roof in the beginning of the movie, but he went sleep walking with the guidance of Frank. Donnie finds out that if he hadn't died when the engine fell through his house, his family and his soulmate Gretchen would die instead. In the end, he chooses to die and let them live. That is what's so sad. The whole movie you see how much Gretchen and Donnie love eachother, and in the end she hadn't met him yet, and had no idea who he was. She had no idea that her soul mate was dead right in front of her eyes. I guess it shows that our significant other is always there, its just we never know who they really are, sometimes we never will. Its one of my favorite movies though, by far.

***************************END********************************

Thats pretty much it, I'm suppose to film with Matt today, but I don't know if that's going to happen. I also have to go to Ryan's and do some Econ homework. But right now, I have to go cut the grass. Ah, Labor Day, a break from school but not from responsibility. HAPPY LABOR DAY EVERYBODY!!!!
