"Ho, ho, ho!" said the pimp calling roll at the morning meeting.

Hello there everybody in blog land. I'm here with my latest post in a while. For those of you that took the time to scold me for not posting more often; I'm sorry, but I feel dumb sometimes posting when I have nothing to say. But what the hell, I'll just ramble for a little bit. It's been like 75 degrees lately and I'm really not looking forward to more heat. Don't get me wrong, I love swimming and all that fun summer stuff. Its just going to totally mess with my wardrobe. No more wearin suit jackets without the fear of sweatin my balls off. Oh well, I'll get over it. Plus I really don't like my legs. I may sound like a chick, but my legs can be compared to tree trunks. I have a lot of strength in my legs, I just don't like them. If I didn't need them to kick people I would totally do away with them...oh yea and to walk too.

I gave blood at school on Tuesday. That was interesting. I wanted to give blood last year, but I was too young. I thought that was a load of crap, honestly I don't think my blood has changed at all since the year has passed. Its kind of weird, you would think that they would want you to give blood at a younger age. As you get older you're more prone to having sex, getting a tattoo or piercing, doing drugs, having sex with someone who is getting a tattoo while doing drugs...I mean seriously. Not that I've done any of that or anything, I'm just making a point. Sex doesn't count unless it was in the past 6 months...for anyone wondering. I'm glad it was before my birthday though, because I'm going to get a tattoo of Taurus on my back. If you think that sounds gay, I don't care. Anyway, they stuck me in both arms. Which was kind of cool. For one, they got plenty of blood out of me and I'm gonna save some lives. Better than that, I was totally tired and was totally out of it for the rest of the day. Not to mention the free t-shirt, juice, and cookies they were givin away. Some guy took my picture for the yearbook too. I've had paparazzi all over me this year, mainly because I've come out of my shell a little more and am more outgoing. The yearbook is going to be littered with pictures of my face. People beware. Turn the page and BAM...its the Booch. Like a retard, I went home and ran around the neighborhood. Bad idea. With no blood you're not suppose to exercise, but I'm losing weight and I want to keep it up. So I ran anyway. Came in the house...low and behold, passed out. It was a nice sleep though.

I wired my sister's room last night. I had to re-wire all her outlets and her light switch. It was fun, I like playing with electricity. I ran downstairs and turned the circuit breaker off for her room. Unbeknownst to me, two of her outlets were wired through the bathroom. Long story short I pulled the outlet out of the wall and completely shocked the living crap out of myself. I'm pretty good at electrical work, it was just a stupid mistake on my part. Plus who ever the hell wired them through the bathroom needs to be smacked in the face with a wet stinky salmon. While I was doing that, I called Theresa. We talked for a little while, shes a cool person and I like talkin to her. She gave me the coolest idea ever. I'm going to put a hammock in my room. I have the sweetest vision for my room now. I'm gonna set up the hammock and get some tropical plants and just make it kick ass. I'd never leave my room. All I would have to do to finish the effect is knock out some walls, get some sand, a kiddie pool, I'll even get a pet alligator and name him Snoogans. Its gonna suck when winter comes though.

My dog has developed a strut. He lifts his back leg when he walks in what I can only describe as a "Pimp-walk". The vet told us not to worry, he just has soul. I think it must be the new found confidence he's acquired from losing weight. He's also taken to humping other male dogs. He hasn't come out to me per se, but I promise to love him no matter what his choice of partner. I'll also support his right to join the military and receive same-sex marriage benefits.

I haven't posted in a while due to the fact that I upset one of my best friends, which I totally meant not to. I think I got it all cleared up though. Which is good. I didn't want to post until I got that all settled. I'm glad I did too, cause I have been totally lost up to this point. I'm happy to hear that a lot of people are lightening up though. Like Chelsea. She had an epiphany. I don't know why or how. If you read this though Chelsea, I am freakin proud of you and I admire the fact that you have a new lease on life. Shes a sweet person and she deserves to be nothing but mirthful. Its puttin me in a better mood just talkin about her revelation. I was amazed. I think she blew herself away. Speaking of friends, I'm really glad Caitlin got back this week. I didn't see her for a while and it was just really nice to see her and say hi. I think I'm gonna call her this weekend and see if she wants to do somethin, just hang out and have a good time. She said she got me a bracelet down in Florida. I haven't gotten it yet, but I'll like it when I get it. The gesture alone is a nice thought. She didn't have to get me anything, but I couldn't stop her. As soon as she gets it to me I think I'm gonna have to get her some flowers or something as a thank you.

Battle of the Bands is tomorrow night. Its going to be a good time regardless if the music sucks or not. I was only there for half of it last year, cause the music sucked, but I'm not gonna let that stop me this year. I'm just gonna go and have an awesome time. Totally off track, my birthday is next Sunday and I don't know what the hell to do. I was thinking bowling, but that sounds too overdone. Its the only thing I can do with a lot of people though. My house isn't big enough for a party, I wish it were. Bowling is always the way out though. Off track again, my manager at Le Peep has been callin me for the past three nights wanting to talk to me. I call her back, but I always get her answering machine. So what does she do? She calls my house at 6 this morning and leaves a shitty message saying that I need to call her and get in contact. What the hell is that? Its not my fault that I can't revolve around you, sue me. Shes pissin me off. I need to find a new job so I can quit.

I will be the first to admit that Coheed & Cambria are not for everyone. However, if you enjoy music that is incredibly intracate and lyrics that tell a story...well, you might just enjoy this album. I asked Johnny C. if I could borrow this album (which he just gave to me to keep) after I had heard the track 'Blood Red Summer' and couldn't get it out of my head. I hadn't heard any of the additional tracks. But now that I've listened to it several times, I'm completely hooked. Coheed & Cambria definitely have a lot of musical talent. Claudio Sanchez (lead vocals) has a very unusual voice that reminds me of Geddy Lee of Rush and the vocal style of the lead singer of Wheatus. However, he does a lot of really interesting and different things with his voice. I know that some people don't care for it, but I'm pretty impressed with someone who has such a huge range and can sing softly or scream and still have it sound like music and not just a bunch of noise. To me, this album is captivating I can't get the songs out of my head and right now I can't hear it enough. I haven't heard a seriously ROCKIN' album in a long time that I've enjoyed this much. It reminds me of how I felt the first time I heard Led Zeppelin when I was about 14 years old and decided then and there to ditch top 40 music altogether and start listening to hard rock, metal, classic rock and the like. As of late, my leanings have been towards more of an electronic sound, but this album is definitely the exception. I would say if you enjoy a good, head-banging rock song, if you don't mind a dude who sings in a higher tone than most singer-dudes out there, and you like to listen to stuff that makes you THINK and WONDER and maybe even say "Did he really just say that?" you will likely enjoy this album a lot. I highly recommend checking out the band's website (www.coheedandcambria.com) if you want to learn more about the story behind these songs as well.

I'm totally freakin out about Star Wars. The new movie comes out in like a month and I'm peeing my pants already. I may sound like a huge nerd, but Star Wars is freakin insane. Ask any guy and they will agree with you. I even dedicated Monday to watching all 5 movies out so far. As I was watching, I noticed that not only did they add Hayden Christiansen's ghost to the end of Return of The Jedi in the new DVD's, but they changed the Ewok's song at the end of the movie!! What?! The Ewok's song was he best part of the entire franchise. My favorite part about it was that there was no Ewokese for the lyric, "celebrate the life". If you go back and listen to the OLD version, the song goes, "Yub, nub, eecheek ee wy-wy celebrate the life, yub -nub!" Classic lyrics. It's like re-writing "Let it Be" or that Celine Dion song from Titanic, it's just not done!

Very Random New Year's Resolutions I Haven't Begun
Forgo all exercise 24/7 (including walking),
Take my loved one's for granted,
Stop washing my hands after twosies,
Laugh at babies who are late walkers,
Pull leaves off trees that appear to be flourishing,
Name the yet to be named voices in my head (something tough like Carl or Jerry)
Be less kind to bunnies,
Floss everything but my teeth,
Travel (but only around my yard and with a light carry-on)
Stop and smell the Rosens. (They're a wonderful family and absolutely compulsive about showering.)

Thank you all for your tremendous support as of late. As some people say, "Shalom." It means, hello, goodbye and peace. It's like the swiss-army knife of words. It also means, "Doctor, it still itches even with the ointment." But only in context.
