Couldn't Think Of A Name So '!' Will Have To Do

Really don't have a lot to say, but I thought it would be nice to go back to those good old days when I would have a dily post so I didn't leave any thought untouched. This is more like one of those times where I just ramble about nothingness. Here we go.

The whole job situation may be coming to a close. I have found a job with the U.S. Postal Service. Its not directly at a post office or anything, I am a behind the scenes guy. I will have to drive around and deliver packages to various post offices and what not. Kind of like a UPS guy but I don't have to go to any certain individuals home. All I have to do is run around to post offices in a big truck all day. It pays $8 an hour, thats not bad for just driving all day. I think I can handle that. I'm going to give it a week though, just to make sure that no one else that I have applied to gets in touch. The only thing that sounds displeasing to me about the job is that their base of operations is out by the airport. Thats going to cost me some gas money running to and from the airport everyday. If the money balances out though, it'll be well worth it.

We finally opened our pool yesterday. Man is that a relief. Not only can I just hop in whenever I feel like it, now I don't have to go to Theresa's house and jump in the lake when I get hot. Thats the other benefit about having a pool, now she can come over here and swim. The more and more I keep thinking about it, the faster the positive things stock pile. Now I can swim without fish or turtles biting my feet. I'm gonna miss that pool when I go away this summer. Good memories in that bad boy. For some reason I always wanted to set up a trampoline right next to the pool so that I could just jump off into heights unknown and land in the water. That makes sense to me trampoline+pool=death...I mean fun, discrete math skills paid off.

Dan just called here and he wanted to ask if I wanted to go out to lunch. I decided that it we too early for lunch, but that I would join him for brunch. He had a catch though, the catch was that they were going to eat at my old place of employment...dun dun dun...Le Peep. I have just grown to hate that place, one cannot understand this without experience of working there. The only good thing about it was the hot girls that worked there. More or less, I have developed an agreement with myself to never go back to that restaurant and deny all affiliation I have ever had with it...unless someone asks. Yes, I still have a massive hatred for the ho bag that used to be my boss. According to Shoup, ever since I left the place has just gone down hill. I figured it would, it always happens that way. The moment I leave Penn, there is going to be a gang war amongst the goths, jocks, nerds, and the faculty. Its going to be mass chaos all around, I don't know who would win that one. I'll put a poll up about it, you tell me who would win. Speaking of which, am I gald that 5hit is over in a week. Never again will I have to return to that hell hole. I love the way life works.

Funny thought: I was at Ryan's house yesterday and I was sitting in the chair petting Katie. Now she sheds like crazy, and this chair is like maroon colored. By the time I got up, there was white dog hair all over the place. Mrs. D. came home and she wondered what the hell happened since it looked like I tried to make a fur coat. Ryan brings the sweeper upstairs and goes to town on the chair, after that he goes to town on me. I didn't trust Ryan trying to vacuum me off, he would've (and did) tried to suck off my face. Here's the funny part, after Ryan attempted to deface me he started vacuuming the dog. Thats funny. I don't care who you are. If you see a guy with a vacuum cleaner and he is using it on his dog, thats good stuff.

Thats all I have for now, later I'm goin with Theresa, Jessica, and Matt to go see a movie. I think thats the plan at least, but with them I won't know until 7 o'clock tonight. I want to go see The Longest Yard. That movie looks like it'll be a good one. We'll probably end up at Hacienda one way or another, we always do. Thats all for now my peoples, as they say...when in Rome.

No..No..No..Terrorists Drink Fanta

Hello viewers out there in TV land…wait a minute this thing isn’t a TV!! Where am I?

Not a whole lot going on as of late Yesterday I went to go fill out some more job applications so that I can find a pretty sweet full time job over the summer. Everybody asks me why I want a full time job. I don’t care that I will be working all the time, its not that big of a deal. I mean I can still find plenty of time to do stuff that I want to do in my free time. Plus I think that the money is totally worth it. Seeing as I’m 18 I figured its about time I quit mooching off my parents and finally start living. I have given it some thought and I really, really want to get the hell out of my house. Nothing has changed, everyday I come home I get bitched at by my parents about anything and everything under the sun. Our sun, that is, not any other suns in some far off galaxy somewhere. I am just sick of it. To just keep it blunt and to the point, kind of like a rapier, I just want to get a full time job so I can make mucho dinero and get the hell out of there. I have noticed over the years that I have a “problem” if you will with doing whatever I please. That’s gotten me in trouble on multiple occasions, but I take full responsibility for all of my actions and I never do something unless I think about the consequences first. That usually doesn’t stop me. I don’t know what anyone else’s input is, but I have been talking about it with my brother and if I do find a nice full time job we’re just going to go ahead and find a cheap house to rent or an apartment. That’s the magical thing about siblings. You don’t really appreciate how much you do for each other until you’re older and realize how cool they can be. I wouldn’t mind living with him, we get along really well and he needs me anyway for comic relief. I’m just trying to think ahead into how I can make the best of things right now.

After I filled out some applications, I went with Ryan and Dan to Wings. I pulled a Horwarth and just got a Pepsi. This time it was twice as bad though because not only did I just get a pop, I didn’t even pay for it myself. I had Dan pick it up for me. Its things like that when I realize that I wish I could conjure money like some sort of wizard…a money wizard. But alas, I am but a wee little man in a vast world of economics. We had some pretty interesting conversations, as we always do. We got into a discussion how I believe Pepsi is better than Coke. Don’t get me wrong, I believe that, as a company, Coke is better than Ezra…I mean Pepsi. As a drink though, I’m a Pepsi guy. Then Dan called me a terrorist for drinking Pepsi, that segwayed into how terrorist drink Fanta and that the dancing chicks in the commercial are leading terrorists. It got crazy. After that we went back to Dan’s house and played some Monopoly. I don’t understand why, but as of late I have been in a major slump when it comes to monopolizing. My monopolopicism skills just haven’t come up to par. Its just the roll of the dice I guess. Either that or Uncle Pennybags is aware of my mad monopolocizing skills and he won’t allow me to win. That rich old coot, I’d like to monopolate his ass.

As of today, Theresa and I have been going out for 1 month. w()()t. I myself couldn’t be more happy about it. I do have to figure out something though, I want to get her something but I don’t know what. I am going to get her some flowers, and I’m sure some jewelry would be nice. The only problem is the whole conjuring aspect. I can get the flowers no problem, I mean look around, they’re everywhere. It’s the other what not that’s going to put my balls in a vice grip. I’ll figure it out, I always do. That’s all for now folks. My void of time on this day has run out. Tune in tomorrow for full coverage of the Michael Jackson trial and whether or not he is officially a pedophile. Yea…I’m not really gonna do that. He’s a pedophile regardless. Stay tuned to the next episode of Leave It To Horbag.

He Will Bring Balance To The Force

I have some things I could talk about right now. I really wasn't in the mood to post right now, but I felt that it was needed. All I can write about write now is skipping school, Star Wars, babysitting and hangin out with Theresa.

Monday was Senior Skip Day. I was supposed to be at Valley Restaurant at 9 to meet Dan there. I woke up at 9:10 and got there 1/4 till 10. So, I was a little late, then again am I ever on time for anything? No. I meet Dan and Ryan inside and we start eating and talking. About 15 minutes later Ian came in and had a seat. We all had our respective meals and we decided to Cannonball Run (race) to Best Buy. I got a head start. We raced on University Drive, I still had the lead and I could see Ryan passing Ian in my rear view mirror. I was thinking to myself...crap, that ass is going to pass me in the last 100 feet if the race. Fortunately, for me, there was a car in the other lane and he didn't have enough room to pass me on the outside. Who would have thought that a 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera could beat...anything. Then again you have to take in the fact that I was going 80 mph in a 35 mph zone, so I have a little trouble with speeding. Anyway, we chill at Best Buy for a while until we decide to leave. El Dan headed off to Barnes & Noble while D Thing, Nacho, and myself headed to Gamestop. Being the video game fans that we are, we just wanted to go check out the selection that they had. I played the new Star Wars game a little bit just to prep me up for the movie. I could have stayed there and played it all day. Star Wars is like crack to me. Ian bought a game and we rolled out. We rendezvoused ( who in the hell's idea was it to spell rendezvoused so freakin weird?) with Dan and explored the wide worl of books. Right as I walk in, a giant display of Star Wars shite. I have a problem I know, but give me a break. I mean this is the last Star Wars movie...ever...no more. I had to be pumped for the last one. I looked that stuff over and read some magazines. Around this time, Ian had to go meet his mom for lunch so he went on his way. He mentioned food, and Dan and Ryan wanted to grab something to eat. I, personally, was still full from breakfast, I don't eat a lot. We headed over to Coney Express. I remember when that place used to be a little barbershop. I brought up that idea to Dan. What if I opened a barbershop that sold hot dogs? I thought it was genious until I came to the realization that some idiot would slap me in the face with a lawsuit when they got hair on their weenie...We drove to Goodwill after that. Now, Goodwill was only about 100 feet at most from where we were. We very well could have walked, but being the lazy asses that we are we drove. I was hoping that they would have some nice suit jackets in there, to my dismay none were to be found. We finished off the day by going to Dan's house and playing Monopoly. I also owned Ryan in Battleship. It was a pretty good day overall.

Wednesday night at midnight I was supposed to go with Ryan to go see the midnight viewing of Revenge of the Sith. I was so pumped, but he was skeptical on whether or not he would be able to go. He had to work late the next couple of nights and he just didn't want to be dead tired. He decided not to go. There was no way in hell I was going to let this stop me. Star Wars is way too important to be missed out on. If I was dying of the plague I would've still went to see it. The only problem was that now I have two tickets to the movie and I am only one person. I was trying to decide on who I should give the ticket too. One person I did not expect to claim the ticket at all, claimed it. Around 10:30, I went to pick up Theresa. She kept telling me how much she didn't want to go see it because it was going to be too sad. She hasn't even seen Attack of the Clones yet. We actually have a bet that she won't watch Episode II by the end of the month. If she doesn't, I have to give her $5. I can honestly say that Revenge of the Sith kicked major ass. I was kind of expecting more out of it though, especially after reading the book. It was insane none the less. I have to say that I like Darth Vader better before he got his ass handed to him by Obi-Wan. I think Vader looked badass with just scars on his face and the evil looking, yellow sith eyes. He was also a lot more agile than he is now. There are also some things that bothered me. 1: NO ONE KILLED JAR JAR BINKS!! I hate that son of a bitch. He's so freakin stupid and annoying. I just wanted some jedi to cut off his head. No one did, oh well, he literally said 2 words in this movie so I'm not too disappointed. Plus the thought in the back of my mind that he'll eventually die is cool. 2: The end of the movie seemed to happen way too fast. After the epic battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin, George Lucas just like fast forwarded everything. It ended in like 5 minutes worth of at least a half hour of stuff. There could've been more. 3: The last thing that bugs me is everyone was hyping up the wookie battle on Kashyyyk. Yes, that is spelled with three Y's. I was under the impression that it was going to be a vital battle as the one on Endor was with the ewoks in Return of the Jedi. No, the only thing you saw were battle droids storming the beach and some wookies screaming. Thats about it. I was very let down. Like I said though, it was amazing anyway. I am going to go see it a couple more times. Was supposed to go yesterday with Ryan, Dan, and Chelsea was going to come too. But I didn't talk to any of them yesterday. Theresa still hasn't seen Episode II.

I always hated how the muppets on Sesame Street would rag on Oscar the Grouch for being so angry all the time. Give the guy a break. You would be pissed off too if you had to live in a trash can. Then again I wonder if he is homeless or if he just lives in a trash can for the hell of it. If thats the case then he has no reason to be so grouchy. I just want to send a message to all muppets on Sesame Street, leave Oscar alone. He lives in garbage.

I went to Theresa's house after school and Friday to help her babysit the chillins. I knew the moment that I went over there that the only one Theresa would have to worry about was Elaina. I predicted correctly, the other 5 kids were around me the whole time wanting me to do all sorts of things. I have to laugh, everytime she invites me over to her house I always get stolen away by the kids. She can never get me to herself. Its funny in a sad sort of way. Anyway, Austin and Michael had me check out their new Star Wars legos that they got. Its just a phase everyones going through right now, give it a week or two and this whole Star Wars hype will die down. One way or another that led to me getting into multiple lightsaber battles that night. Now you may think it unfair for an 18 year old to be fighting some 10 year olds...and it is. It made me want to go home and dig mine out of the attic. Ah good times. It was nothing out of the ordinary. Its the same thing everytime I go over there. I play with Austin and Michael for a while and then I go outside and push Julia and Gabe on the swing. John wasn't home, he was with his parents. I let Theresa worry about Elaina. I couldn't let her get off without watchin someone. I could've, but oh well. So some of you might think this next part is pathetic and some of you might think its cute. Julia wanted me to be her horsie...yea thats right, I got down on my hands and knees and I was a horse. It actually wasn't that bad. I've done worse, plus I can't deprive a little kid of her happiness. That and the fact that I can't say no to anything. We finished the night off by watching The Incredibles. We were hoping that the kids would fall asleep so we could have a little time alone, didn't happen. It happened eventually, but we fell asleep too. Theresa fell asleep on my lap and I eventually fell asleep on her. That was nice too. Her parents are really cool when it comes to me being at their house late. I mean the first time I was over there I stayed until 1:45 and Friday I stayed until 1. One of these times I'm waiting for them to come home and be like Brandon, go home. It was a fun time and well worth it. I stopped by her house last night too just to say hey. Christina was over there yesterday helping her babysit. We went upstairs so Theresa could show me this awesome phone desk thing she got at a garage sale. It was pretty sweet. While we were up there we figured hmmmm we were alone. I see her all the time, its just we are rarely by ourselves. So that was nice. This coming Thursday we've been going out for a month. I figured I would do something for her, make dinner or something along those lines. Just something nice.

Not a whole lot going on today. I think I may just stay home and have a day of R & R.I made a CD with only songs from 1997 I have to say I like it and it makes me miss the good old days of being oblivious of life and love. I am getting used to these days though. Thats all I have for now. May the force be with you...sometimes.

The Coolest Cats Dance In 5/4

Alright, so its been a good week since I've spoken my mind. Now I'm kind of disappointed in myself because I'm depriving all of my viewers of whats been going on. Truth of the matter is everytime I have something to say, I'm just not in the mood to write about it. Call it laziness if you will. Let me see here, let me flash back to Sunday. The only exciting thing I did was drive over to Theresa's house and swim. I was really hot for some reason and I needed to cool down. My pool's not open, though I wish it was, the next best thing I could think of is a lake. Theresa has one in her backyard so I figured why not? I told her I was going to go swimming and she didn't believe me. So I won in two ways, I got cooled down and I got to spite my girlfriend. I tried to race Gabe and Julia across the lake. I was swimming and they were using a paddle boat. They kicked my ass. It hurts one's pride a little bit to be beat by a 7 and 5 year old. Hell, even combined they're still younger than I am, but they did have a paddle boat. Anyway, Played more baseball with the boys while pushing Julia and Gabe on the swing. Elaina kept running to me wanting to be picked up, shes a funny kid. Thats pretty much Sunday in a nutshell.

Monday I went to Chuck E Cheese for Julia's birthday. Ah...memories, I remember when I turned 5...I'll save that story for another time. I haven't been to The Cheese since New Kids On The Block were cool...not that I ever thought they were. I remember it being a lot bigger than it is now. Then again that was about 13 years ago. I recall I used to be afraid of those animatronic A-holes. I go there now, and they just look retarded. Chuck's head wasn't proportional to his body. The bird is a whore. The dog is pretty cool though, he's the only one I would hang out with. The chef is a stereotypical Italian pizza maker, and someone please tell me what in the shit the purple guy is. He's like a giant retarded grape with teeth. He's like Grimace on crack. Speaking of crack, they all looked like they were stoned. Not only did they suck, the games sucked ass too. They're all games that require timing and what not. You push one button and you either win or you lose. Its F-ing ridiculous. It made me realize that my hand eye coordination is just short of a down syndromed three toed sloth. They did have skee ball. That always rocks. I was pissed because they got rid of that Bozo the clown bucket game. That is the sickest game in the world when you are 5, least I thought so. So, I'm rambling. Chuck E Cheese sucked balls, in the best way possible. It was a good time.

Now, since Tuesday was boring and retarded I'll take this time to talk about something thats been on my mind. I've been thinkin about it, and I'm really beginning to like Theresa a lot. The more I'm with her, the more I want to stay with her. Does that make sense? She is really amazing. I know I talk to her everyday and see her at school all the time, but she's always so busy with homework and what not. I actually get to see her after school about once a week. It is a good time of the week though. We just hang out and do whatever. I don't care what I'm doing, its just the fact that shes there doing it with me. The whole concept of holding her in my arms gets me too. I don't know though, I'm just trying to take it slow. In the past, none of my relationships have worked out because I cared too much. I can't help it, if I like someone I'm going to let them know how I feel and just let it all out. That always chased them away though, the too much caring. I just don't want to do that to Theresa. I don't know how much she likes me, only she knows that. I've got someone amazing to be by my side, I just don't want to lose her. Such a confliction in my head. I can never tell if a girl is freaked out by my affection or if they want more. I suck, I've lost too many in the past...I'm going to try not to lose Theresa.

I went to Wings on Wednesday. George called me and wanted to see if I was doing anything. Now in my mind, I'm thinking this is possibly the dumbest question anyone could possibly ask. Of course, I'm never doing anything, so I go and meet the Brothers Dill there. Dan and Suzie showed up later to chill with us. It was a good time. Plus, it was the last time I'll see George in a while. He's doin good for himself and is going down to Texas to start his job. My only request before he left was if he strikes oil, to name the oil rig after me. I'm gonna miss him though, George is a cool guy and its always a good time when he's around. Hopefully he might come back for Ian's birthday, I'm not quite sure if that'll work though. After Wings, we all wanted some ice cream. We figured just stop by the Patterson's residence and invite ourselves in for some ice cream. We get there and call Matt, he tells us he's not going to let us in the house. He didn't, at least he came out and said hi though. Now, ever since he's been hanging out with the PNN kids he's totally been shunning us. Not that I care, he's just being a giant douche lately. I mean I say hi to him in the hallway and he doesn't even acknowledge the fact that I'm standing right there. Whatever, let him be a douche. So, we all went our separate ways and said our goodbyes. If you read this G. Arthur, good luck down in Texas...makin the big bucks. RUH RO!!

After school Thursday, I went with Ian and Ryan to Wendy's. I never noticed it before, but there are a lot of black people that work there. Whats up with that? Its not a big deal or anything, I just noticed it. Why Wendy's? I thought it was kind of random. Anyway, we ate and then Ryan and I proceeded to Best Buy. I think Ryan went in to buy the new Weezer album, but I don't remember. I was in there and I saw that The Starting Line had a new album out, I had no idea. I was going to buy it, I was the next person in line and at the last minute I decided against it. It was only ten bucks, but I wanted to wait a couple of days. I mean prom was in 3 days and the whole money thing. The plan after that was for us to go and do whatever we had to do at home (which for me is nothing) and then meet back over at Ian's. Since I had nothing to do, I just went straight to Ian's from Best Buy. Ian owned me in Halo 2 until Ryan showed up and we started playing Worms. We had time to play one game, and it lasted for about 2 hours. That was freakin insane. Towards the end, none of us cared anymore we just wanted someone to die so we could be done. In the act of being a good person, I did what they wanted. So, I killed Ryan and Ian's army of worms and ended the madness. It was well worth it though. After that, we went downstairs and watched CSI for a half hour. The whole reason we went over to Ian's was to watch the exclusive MTV footage of the new XBOX. We were pumped up for it, and we were completely let down. The show sucked a grinch load. It didn't show squat and it was hosted by Elijah Wood...freakin hobbit. I think the best part about the whole show was the performance by The Killers. After watching a 30 minute suckfest, I went home.

I made some hash browns to hold me over as I type this. The golden deliciousness of every bite is an explosion of delight to my tastebuds. I love hash browns.

Friday, Theresa got tickets to the choir concert. I was glad that she did too, I really wanted to go to the concert. It was a good one. I didn't know about the whole cat song they did though. It was original, but it got extremely annoying extremely fast. The other thing that keeps bugging me is how they did the sweet Phantom of the Opera set. They had they smoke, the rising stage, hell they even blew up the stage (not really, but the pyrotechnics were neat). I was impressed. Then just when you think it can't get any better...it doesn't. The next and last song they sing is YMCA. The whole time I'm just thinking...hmmmm...WTF? That was probably the worst transition in the world. I was waiting for some choir kids to run out as the Village People. Just waiting for a cop, a sailor, and a half naked indian. Never happened. None the less, it was bad...the transition that is. The concert was awesome. I was kind of sad, this is the last time I get to see Dan bobble his head on stage. Thats the one thing I could always look forward to in a choir concert, Dan on the top rise whiplashing like a mad man. I was watching the giant candle behind him, I was just waiting for it to fall due to the massive convulsing of his head. Thats a show in itself. I was also keepin an eye on Lauren and Chelsea, I could see them from where I was sitting. They were being their goofy selves, dancin it up and havin a good time during the YMCA. It was fun watchin them too. After the show, I took Theresa, Matt, and Jessica to Hacienda. We sat and had some food. Dan was with us too. We talked about what not and listened to the massive table of choir kids behind us. It was a fun night.

Finally we get to the big day, Prom on Saturday. I was really excited. I was excited because I wanted to see Theresa. I wanted to see her in her dress. I had to do some stuff before I went to Jessica's for pictures. I washed my car, got gas, shaved, and then I had to go pick up Theresa's corsage. I slapped on my tux and headed over there. We took pictures and planned out the night. Theresa looked beautiful. I couldn't stop looking at her. I tried to keep from staring though, would've been kind of freaky if I just stared. Thinking about it now, she was breath taking. We went to eat at The Emporium. It was a bitch getting there though. I didn't know how to get there, and I got lost. I wasn't lost, I just got all turned around and shit. Eventually, we made it there and had an awesome dinner. I gave the waitress a big tip because she was awesome. Drove across the river and went to the dance. I was a fun night, I don't know what I can say. Just did the normal stuff people do on prom night. Danced, swapped garter and tie, took pictures. The usual stuff. After the dance, we were all suppose to go to Kelsie's house for a party of sorts. Its wasn't as much a party as it was a gathering. We weren't sure if we had the right house, so Theresa and I just sat in the car for like an hour. We listened to music while she took a nap on me. I kept a look out for Matt and Jessica, they finally showed. We went inside for about an hour until I had to take Theresa home at 3. We said our goodnights and I went home. I want to get pictures developed, so I can see what they look like. It was an awesome night. Good week.

Just random side notes. Star Wars comes out in 3 days (peed myself). This is going to make my entire week going to see this movie. I have to go see it with Lauren sometime though, I've seen all the other Star Wars movies with her it wouldn't be the same if I didn't go see this one with her too. I'm thinkin thats on the weekend. Another movie I just saw a trailer for was The Dukes of Hazzard. That movie is going to be the 5hit. I thought it was going to be a crappy remake of a tv show like Starsky and Hutch was. This actually looks like its going to be good. My senior exit project got pushed back to the 25th of this month. Its starting to piss me off, I just want to get the damn thing over with already. Senior skip day tomorrow, I don't know what I'm going to do yet but I'm sure I'll figure something out. Well, its been fun but I have a tux to take back and I'm out of thoughts. Shalom to you all.

PBA Day In May: Thrice + Friday

This is the thrilling conclusion to my one thought that I was going to write all on the PBA Day, but I didn't. Its not all really that thrilling, but what the hell. As I was saying, I just like spending time with Theresa. Like I said, shes always so busy with homework and stuff. However, yesterday I did get to go to her house and meet the family.

Theresa told me to brace myself for questions from the kids, but it really wasn't that bad. The first person I met was her mom. Mrs. Akre is a really cool person. She seemed as if she was tired/stressed out a little. I can't blame her though. I mean 7 kids. 5 of which are under the age of 10. I would be too. The next person I met was John. He looked surprised to see me. Theresa introduced us and he totally forgot that I was coming over. Oh well, it happens. Then I met the twins, Austin and Michael. They were the only ones that really asked me questions. Austin asked me what my favorite animal was. Before I could answer he told me about his fascination with turtles. Somehow that merged into whether ir not I like Star Wars. Then he made a totally random comment that I remind him of Pedro from Napolean Dynamite, because of the moustache. Then he started looking for his lego Bionicle book. I offered to help him out. When he was asking me about Star Wars, Michael overheard and asked me if I liked legos. I said yes and explained how much I love both. This led into do I like video games...of course. That is a no brainer. As it turns out they were building up to tell me that they have lego Star Wars video game. Go figure. They were really excited about showing it to me. The twins are very interesting. I like both of them, they're awesome. 3 down 3 to go. The next one I met was little Elaina. She is the cutest little kid I have ever seen, shes so funny. At first, she was really shy and she wouldn't come near me at all. At one point, Theresa went to go do something and Elaina tried to run outside. I called her name and reached my hand out. She kinda looked at me for a minute and then ran over and held my hand. It was cute. Alright, I'm set. I got the baby to like me, thats all that matters. I met Julia while we were eating dinner. We were getting ready to eat pizza and Julia yelled at me, "I don't want to sit by you!, who are you?". I thought it was funny. She settled down after she finally figured out who I was. The last kid I talked to was Gabe. I didn't get to see him until later at night. Theresa was makin the family some milkshakes and Gabe asked me if I knew who he was. I said of course and told him who he was. Made me feel all knowing for a minute. Not even that, more like 5 seconds. Backtracking, Theresa and I were in the basement for a while until her dad came home. I was looking forward to meeting her dad. She told me that her parents try to be funny sometimes and they really aren't. I think they're both funny. Mr. Akre is really cool. It was around this time that I went outside to go play baseball with the Twins, John, and their dad. As I was doing this, Theresa was playing with Elaina and Julia. It was fun. Elaina kept wanting to show us how she could climb up the swingset and go down the slide. She kept running back and forth between me and Mr. Akre. She is a really funny kid. It started getting dark, so we went inside to play Apples to Apples. I have never heard of this game before in my life, but it was really fun. The kids were really loud though, I really didn't mind. It was obvious that it was driving Theresa and her mom insane though. After that, we laid on the couch and watched National Treasure. The whole night was well worth it. Her family is awesome. I think I made a good impression and that they liked me. If not, they are very good at acting like they like people. Anyway, I was there from about 4 to 1:45 in the morning. I'm not complaining though. Almost ten hours of hanging out with her is well worth it. Fun times.

I don't think I can top that now, I look back on it and I just said a lot of crap. I mean I basically described everything I did at Theresa's. I can talk about uhh...George!! There we go theres a topic I can go on. Ian left yesterday to go and bring G. Arthur home from Purdue. I kind have wished I could've gone with him. Its gonna be cool when he comes back. We always have a good time, between just hanging out and stogie nights. Its kind of a bummer that hes goin down to Texas over the summer to go work. Oh well, thats good for him though. He's got something to keep him busy and hes gonna get paid nicely. He's done good for himself.

Star Wars comes out in 11 days. I still need to buy Tusi's ticket from him so I can go to the midnight show with Ryan. I think I may seriously crap my pants when I go see this movie. I'm gonna at least hyperventilate or squeal. Maybe both. I've been looking forward to this movie ever since I heard that they were making Episode 1. Call me a geek if you will, but this is just something that can't be passed up.

I'm getting my senior exit presentation all ready to go. I have to present on Monday. I really just want to go in there, read the damn thing and just get it over with. I want to get out of school so bad. I'm sick of it. I want to end up like D-Day from Animal House. I just want to go, get it over with and when all is said and done no one will ever hear from me again. They won't know where to find me. Naw...I don't think that would float over too well with some people. Besides, how am I suppose to tour the Dust Bowl with Dan if he doesn't know where to find me? Alright thats enough babble for now. I'm bringing this 3 part mess to a close. There is no reason why I couldn't have fit this all into one entry, besides the fact that I'm lazy. 'Till the next time we meet.

PBA Day In May: Part Deux + Thursday

Alright, so here I am back in my void. Since I’m here I figured I would go ahead and write about all the stuff I was going to write about since the last time I was stuck here. I meant to come back from lunch on Wednesday and finish up my thought process, but as you may have noticed, that didn’t happen. I have a lot of stuff I can talk about too. This may take a little longer than I envisioned it.

Back tracking to the PBA Day, it was pretty much the most pointless day I’ve had in a while. I mean breakfast was good and all, but just the school part of it is meaningless. I have 2 classes that I go to and then homeroom and this void. That made it even more of a bore. I mean seeing as we have 3rd block for the full time period, and I have no class during 3rd block. Looking back on it now, I just should’ve stayed home and came to 4th block only. Then I rethink and realize that if I just would’ve stayed home, I wouldn’t have seen anybody and I just would’ve ended up being bored anyway. Speaking of staying home from school, this whole May 10th thing at school is freakin stupid. Personally, I don’t think that anybody is going to shoot up the school. I think this could be a couple of things. 1: This is a really retarded senior prank by the same person that called a bomb threat on the school. B: Maybe some kid had a project or something they had to present on the 10th and they overdid the excuse not to. Or: This is real, and some student is being a douche and lashing out at the school because they hate themselves. I highly doubt the or part. And yes I do realize that I said 1 and then B. If anything does go down on the 10th though, I blame it on video games (sarcasm). Yea, I think half the school is staying home, so why not join the club? I guess Ian made a shirt or is making. If they look cool I might have to have him make one for me. Just so I can say…yea…I was there. Though I won’t be.

Now get this, I’ve been thinking about quitting Le Peep for a long time running now. I mean I like the place, the food is good, the people I work with are cool. The problem was that the pay sucked ass and that I think my boss is a total hard on. She’s just too strict about the dumbest crap, and I just don’t like her. Well, I was supposed to go to work on Saturday and Sunday. I called Peg Saturday morning and told her that I wouldn’t be able to work. She went on a huge rant about how everyone at work needs to be more responsible and take responsibility for their actions, blah, blah. The whole time I’m just nodding my head over the phone, yup, yup, mmhmm, yea. She was just pissed because now she has to call someone to fill in for me, Anyway, that ended that. Then Sunday I was not available once again. Knowing that Peg would call, I asked my brother to relay a message to her. That I was going to come in Wednesday morning and quit. Well, this obviously don’t go over well with el skank. I come to school Monday and I see Adam. He starts laughing and then he says I’m just kidding Brandon, I’m sorry. I’m thinking, for what? Well, I come to find out that I was fired. Personally, that is crap. I mean who in the hell fires you for wanting to quit? I don’t care. I guess according to Shoup, she doesn’t want me using her as a reference either. Whatever, I don’t think writing down I was a bus boy will help me anywhere in life anyway. I don’t even consider it a job, no offense to the guys I used to work with. You’re all still cool. Peg’s a whore.

I finally got to spend some time with Theresa yesterday. She always has so much homework to do and babysitting and what not. She never has time to do anything. But, yesterday she had time. I thought that was awesome. We just kinda chilled in my room for a couple of hours. I won’t go into detail, I’m sure no one wants to hear about it. We did watch comedy central for a while. Had some laughs and yea…good times. I’ve been giving it some thought, and maybe I should just start doing some of her homework so she has time to spend with me. Is that being selfish? I think it may be, but I don’t care. I want to spend more time with her in person. I mean talking on the phone until 1 or 2 in the morning is awesome, but its just not the same. Alright anyone who doesn’t like mush or sensitivity don’t read the next sentence. I mean you can’t hold someone over the phone. I can’t look her in the eyes and smile for no reason at all. Just because of the fact that she’s there. You can kiss someone over the phone, but its not the same. Its just a sound. That’s pretty gay.

I’m not done, but now lunch and…lunch. I have more to say, it will be said later today. Maybe. Peace out biznotches.

PBA Day In May

It seems as if I am not able to make any color or font changes. Hmmmm. This is why I really hate Apple computers. Not because they have a crappy interface, but because it was founded by Steve Jobs, and I really don't like that guy. Anyway, thats beside the point. So instead of dignifying each thought by its own individual being, I'm just going to have to leave it as is. Just one giant thought process. It won't be that big though, seeing as I'm going to go to lunch in about 7 minutes.

Alright so I lied, the least I can do is make it so that you can tell where I have a change in thought. Myself, Ryan, Ian, Dan, Suzie, Chelsea, and Whitney all went to McDonalds for breakfast this morning. I have to say that is the only thing I get out of PBA days. Screw the learning experience, I want the breakfast. It was some good times. I got a green fork to eat with, that was a first. I can honestly say that of 18 years of my being, I have never eaten with a green fork. That was something.

You know, I really like having this void for a 3rd hour class. I really don't do anything. Its kind of nice and on the other hand, really boring too. Its a double edged sword. The only good thing I get out of it is that I get to see all my friends and mingle. Mingling always leads to good things. More later, I'm off to do some mingling.
