Happy Birthday Me!!!

20 is one of those stupid years. You're no longer a teenager, but still not legal to drink.

Looking Back

I think that I had a pretty good birthday, compared to my other lame ass ones. I started it off hanging out with Donnie, Amanda, and Rachel the morning of at Amanda's house. We had a kick ass time. Then Don and I went to EXTREME Juice for a refreshing smoothie. Then I went out to North Medford High to watch some of my old friends in the Rogue Valley Cup. I went home, after checking out the Dutch Bros stand, and passed out, and by pass out I mean fell asleep really fast. Then I was awoken to gifts from my sister and my aunt. I had already gotten gifts from my brothers and my mom the night before at the Redrock. Then we had BBQed ribeye steak for dinner. My mom was going to get me a Yummy Cake but it was to late to make an order, so she made me one. AWESOME!!!! She made a grasshopper: Chocolate cake with mint chocolate chip ice cream layers and mint chocolate icing. It was Stupendiferous!

I am definitely getting one of these if they come out...

"The Fool Me Can't Be Fooled Again!"

This story has stuck in my head for a long time now and I keep having to tell my little brothers and their friends. Probably one of the most awkward and disturbing moments in my life. Enjoy.

A few weeks ago before I went to my ES 112 class when Donnie and I decided to get a snack for our lecture. Just down the hall was a vending machine, this was our mission: retrieve delicious snacks for sustaining our intense boredom level due to our teacher having a massive lisp and consistently rambling on.

When I arrived at the rendezvous point, I decided to get a TWIX, even better, a king sized TWIX! Taking a closer look, I noticed that there was an extra TWIX hanging. This means that I would get two king sized TWIX's for the price of one. "HELLS YEA BITCHES" I said passionately out loud while Donnie chuckled in awe of this momentous occasion! So I inserted my dollar and proceeded to punch in the secret code(not a secret) in order to complete my mission. While I was waiting for one of the most glorious treats alive, a TWIX candy bar, all of a sudden right next to it a Hersey's Snack Bar bounced down to the delivery tray. "WHAT THE FUCK!" I exclaimed while Donnie now was laughing (not in awe), it was a complete act of retardation-I punched the wrong code!

So, stuck with a Snacker I definitely did not want, I continue to try and put another dollar in the machine. All of a sudden this hippie, with hair down to his knees and the biggest aviators I have ever seen, eagerly nudged me out of the out of the way and began his attempt at getting MY TWIX. He began shaking the machine like the fricken mad man that he is. There, My TWIX fell down along with the other king sized TWIX and a king sized almond Hersey bar. While his tongue was hanging out of his head like Michael Jordan, he stared at me and yelled, "Heh Hehhh!" Then he took off like a bandit and began to sprint down the hall. This is a science building I might add filled with nerds( or people looking to complete a gen. ed requirement), so it made, like I said, for a very awkward moment.

Now I am stuck with this Snack bar in class and I'm just glaring the damn thing down while filled with rage and confusion. I might add that Donnie is having a hell of a time watching me grimace over the unwanted candy bar. Fucker.

Musical Baton

Awsome, I have been passed the Musical Baton from Donnie. Yay, I am so glad.


Total volume of music files on my computer: 1 Gb

The last CD I bought was:
"Make The Music 2000" by Rahzel

Song playing right now:
Poison by Alice Cooper

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:

1. Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin
2. Island in the Sun by Weezer
3. The Thunder Rolls by Garth Brooks
4. Kanye's Workout Plan by Kanye West
5. Yeah!!! By Usher feat. Lil John

I have no other friends that admire the internet and it's services.

A Total "Ah Ha!!!" Moment

I was starting research for a final paper and presentation for Core just now. I went to the library website and totally blanked on how to navigate to my desired location. Then, just like that a light flicked on and I was no longer "Naked in the dark"(Lord of the Rings-Return of the King). I grabbed my, oh so pristine, Moleskine and there it was, my complete path to every part of the site I needed to get my information. I forgive those who underestimate the Moleskine and their carriers. I once was skeptical of notebooks as well. But seriously, it is heaven knowing that all the knowledge you want and need can be written down in a classy notebook, and then flipped back to just as fast. GET A MOLESKINE, THEY'RE HEAVEN!

'The Greastest'

My Mom never ceases to amaze me. She will just go out on random sprees for DVD's. She came home tonight with; Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, In Good Company, Spanglish, and The Aviator. I haven't seen any, except Life Aquatic, so don't ruin it for me. She also once went out and got like 12 boxes of Krispy Kream doughnuts for my friends and I on a movie night along with 12 new DVD's. She has build up quite a collection. I think that we are up to like 400 DVD's now. I have to be pretty desperate to go to Blockbuster or Hollywood video.

My latest Moleskine log

I found this ban way at the top of Hillcrest Road. It was incredibly peaceful there. There were a lot of birds and flowers and bugs. Hearing all there chirps and the wind blowing was pretty relaxing. You can even hear peoples peacocks calling. I was on the receiving end of some weird stares from people going to their homes(like 4 houses). I guess they were not used to seeing pimps, like myself, in the hills. I drew a picture in my Moleskine and just described area and directions to this place. A very cool barn to see up close, it not just some traditional looking red barn, it has a lot of character.

Can you harness this much awesomeness?

Bumper Sticker of the Week:
"I got this truck for my wife, pretty good trade huh!"

TJ MAX

--FALSE ALARM--

There are notebooks that look like Moleskine's, but there not Moleskine. Sorry for the inconvenience.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is for any Medfordites who enjoy the most reliable notebook- MOLESKINE:

My Mom, AKA 'The Greatest', let me in on some information that is very the is very important for us MOLESKINERIE's. She told me that she saw some pocket MOLESKINE's at TJ MAX. I was amazed to know that she knew how much I like them and took into consideration to remember the name, like I said, 'The Greatest'. She said they were $5.99!!! Any Sin-City residents(Medford Folk) who enjoy a well made and legendary notebook, Hit up TJ MAX - ASAP!!!

My Mom is getting an awesome new camera, a Cannon, very cool. All I can say is, "Flippin Sweet!"

Star Wars: Episode III-Revenge of the Sith

This movie flippin rocked. STAR WARS: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith definitely deserved all the hype before the premiere. Visually it was stunning. It was a lot more dark then the rest. At first you think all is well (I know STAR WARS backwards and front so it doesn't apply) with Anakin Skywalker finally agreeing with Obi Wan. But slowly he, Anakin, realizes that the path to a Jedi cannot give him what he wants. Also, the transition into Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine were very well done. It wasn't like "Poof!" he's Vader and The Emperor. Slowly they showed you their future selves. I like how you can see Palpatine trying to get Anakin to do shit he knows he shouldn't, like killing Dooku at the beginning. My favorite part in the movie is when Anakin takes his first breaths inside the legendary Darth Vader suit. Definitely will make a good addition to anyone with a DVD collection, even those who don't remember or haven't seen any STAR WARS, and you know who you are.

Download Konfabulator, It will change your life!!!

My Saturday
Looks boring huh?

Update:

Well today didnt turn out as bad as it looked. Donnie and I went out to Circuit City to look at some Digi cameras, then we went to Amanda's house and watched STAR WARS: Episode II-Attack of the Clones, that set us up for STAR WARS: Episode III-Revenge of the Sith at 10:25pm. Movie was awesome.

Brilliant!!!

This is a very brilliant idea. Just simple pictures that capture the experience of Pedestrian. E-Mail pedxproject@yahoo.com if you wanna join the experience.

Portable Dilemma

Man, I want a iPod so bad, but my MiniDisc still works awesome. MiniDiscs came out then I didn't hear much about them, then they became lost. Once iPods reigned supreme, no other players even mattered. I just like the feel of my Minidisc, and the concept was really wild to me when they come out. iPods are a plus because there are no moving parts to break, but there is something about the Minidiscs that is appealing. I have a lot of music stored on my Minidiscs-like 10 full discs. Each one has like 6 CD's on it. It seems like a waste to get a iPod because I have put so much effort into my Minidisc. I bought a Sony when they first came out and recording took real time, which means a long time and a lot of patience. I got this one after a few years of owning my Sony and it had Net-MD recording, which is super fast. I found a site that carries a lot of accessories for them and its where I get everything I need for my MiniDisc, MiniDisco. I bought a microphone for if I go to a concert and badass headphones for my listening pleasure.

What a Boring Day

Well nothing extraordinary happened today. Woke up late, as usual, got to Anthropology on time luckily. My second class, Core, was canceled so went and stayed in Elmo's and played 31 with a couple of friends. Had a bento for lunch. Went to Environmental Studies and did absolutely nothing, the G-UNIT was bored because we didn't have Donnie's 'Glacier' phone with us. Got out early in Dittmer's mind (4 min.). Went home and played WC3 for a little bit. Saw Donnie and discussed 'Hello Simple.' Went home and cleaned up house. Watched "Worst Auditions" for American Idol. Watched Apprentice. Watched ER. And that is about it. Like I said, nothing extraordinary.

American Idol

"37 million Americans voted and...."

Vonzell is Eliminated!!!

Carrie and Bo Head to the Finals!!!

A New Hope

What an awesome Wednesday. It is my day off, no school, I don't work, no worries, and no cares. Well that's usually how it goes. My awesome brother is at the movies, WITH MY CHAIRS, getting ready to observe a film that is incomparable to any thing man has ever known. I am at home doing jack. My friends work or are at school in Eugene. How wonderful. Donnie, who is to the G-UNIT as what Optimus Prime is to the Tranformers, has just recently included me in his newest business plan, 'Hello simple'. I have been pondering what we can do with this name. It's gotta be fresh, simple (*wink), useful, and huge. Blogs? Web sites? Who knows, but whatever it is, will be seen and used by anyone with a close relationship to the internet. Not much can be said about it though. When this thing explodes, and it will, it better have Donnie and his crews name on it, and not some nerd waiting for someone else's idea to slip out into cyberspace. 'Hello simple' will soon be my new niche.

Where Are My Chairs?

UPDATE: May 18, 2005

Well I have two chairs in my room, he (Drew aka brother) just left for the movie and he took my SECOND chair. Incredible!

So my brother, the one with the STAR WARS tickets, left for his friends house to spend the night. They are planning to go out tomorrow and spend all day out there. Well he decided that he should take my chairs to sit in while out there. Well this just set me off. My brother, who offered me tickets, then took them back, took my chair out of my room so the friend that he gave MY ticket to can be well rested for the flick. Wow I wish I had morals like that. It may sound like a bunch of bitchen on this site, but were are brothers, its not too serious just family shit. I hope you can understand.

I Might Have A Job!!!

UPDATE: May 18, 2005

I just got done filling out my application at Boise. I hope this thing works out.

I will be applying at the Boise Mill tomorrow. My mom treats, as a patient, a woman that is daytime supervisor at the mill. She said to put her name on the application. That is one of the many things that makes me believe my mom is the greatest. I will, if hired, be getting $12.70 per hour full time during the summer. Good cash for school next year and maybe a down payment for a car. Who knows, the past is past, the future is now!!! All I need to decide is what to do with the time that is given to me.

Flippen 16 out of 20!!!

We just got back our applied earth-science paper in ES 112. 16/20. My teacher has to be illiterate! This was probably the most incredible paper that has ever passed through my Environmental Studies hands. In short I described how to harness volcanic energy and usefulness of its energy. Volcanoes are usually disruptive in one form or another. So I brought up how to promote the eruptions and put to use this God given energy that is usually stored up in massive, friction building, life taking, tree destroying eruptions, and change it into hearty soils and geo-thermal energy. Apparently Rich and Eric did not like the way I said it. I got just as good of marks as 'The All Mighty Donnie'(18/20 I might add) in idea content, structure, and supporting arguments. But because Donnie, a junior, is in a freshman class, he thinks he is genius. Well Donnie, you are wrong. They even wrote on my paper that I was correct n my thinking and ideas, it's just that I could have stated it better.

What The Hell!!!

So yesterday I woke up late for class. Now today while reading my MOLESKINE for anything needing to be done this week I stumbled over a not that read. "No class Tuesday 17: Physical Anthropology." I would be happy to read this, but I was reading it in the line of the Ashland Dutch Bros. Now I'm not gonna drive all the way back to Medford, gas is flippen expensive. So I'm am stuck at a practically empty computer lab for two hours. I guess it could have been worse, I could have missed the note completly, rushed it and ran to class only to see a note that read "NO CLASS."

My Day @ a Glance:

• Sit at school for 2 hours before class
• Class from 10-10:50am
• Lunch in Elmo's from 11-11:45am
  
• Class from 12-1:20pm (Pimp out ES 112)
  
• Take care of my sister's new dog
• Sand arbor and prep for staining
• Dishes
  
• Homework if any
• Read my book
• Watch 'American Idol' @ 8 O'clock and ponder who will win (Carrie)
• Go out for some late night DB
• Stay up late because I have no school on Wednesday

---Subject to change if anything comes up---

Quote of the Week:
"Let your freak flag fly!"

CLS 500

What the heck is car like this doing in Medford. I almost ran into a dog when I drove by gazing into its finely fashioned rear end.

"Need Money For Pot!"

While going out to the Mall today to get lunch and hang with Donnie, there was a boy( had to be younger then 16) at the North Medford exit holding a sign that said, "Need Money For Pot!" He looked far too young, and he seemed to be having too good of a time. People were laughing at his sign and he got a rise out of it. He was just out there laughing and giving people the thumbs up. Wasn't sure if he was really homeless, if he just wanted pot, or just wanted to scam people to get money. I usually give to the pan handlers but this just didn't seem right. I don't usually give money, I will usually give them fries or whatever side I get with my meal. My window was down and he was looking at me but I just couldn't do it. Should I have?

GENIUS GENIUS GENIUS!!!

My brother found this site and persisted that I watch some videos. GENIUS!!! It is a group of college students, Prangstgrup, setting up musicals, pranks, and just plain awkward moments.........While in class(either their or random), library, and on the street. Nobody knows what's going on but them. My personal favorite is called SEXY. Explore at your own risk. And don't blame me if you crap your pants in laughter, its just that funny.
Favorites:

• Sexy
• Start-Up Sound
• Lecture Musical
  
• Shit Talker
• Library Musical
  

Late Again!!!

Well, I woke up late again for my morning class. We were just finishing an ethical movie so I didn't miss much. The only problem is I told my self I would stay after, i even wrote it in my MOLESKINE, and knock off some more chapters in my book, The Elements of Effort. I have no motivation to read now so I guess I got the day off.

Men's Shirts For Every Occasion, Literally!!!

Heck, it is a '74!!!

Well there is one more week till the repair guy gets back from vacation. My '74 beetle broke down, literally. I was on the freeway getting off at the Talent exit when all of a sudden the ball joint broke and I went into a swirling maelstrom of hell I had never encountered before. So it will cost me(dad) $1200 dollars to fix it. At first it was 200 or so, but the repair man found stock, 31 years old parts that were rusted down, sooo....It adds up fast. I will be glad when I get my baby back( knock on wood). I have put a lot of work into her and too much money.

I Need A Stinken Job

So now that track is over I am on the hunt for a job. I worked retail at BIG 5 last year and promised I would never again do that to myself. So I have a few in mind, Boise Mill, Dutch Bros, and Blockbuster. Boise Mill Pays good, Like 13.50/hour, but it is very strenuous work for my weak ass. I have gotten mixed reviews on being a Barista. Some like it because of the hours and how "lax" it is and others think its gets real boring real fast. And last Blockbuster, I think that it would be real boring but its super close, you don't have to wear dress attire and you get free rentals. Time a waisten and I need dead president in my hand.

Fisher Space Pen Hack

Though I have started this blog I will still stay true to my MOLESKINE. So I went out looking for some hacks I haven't seen yet. My friend Donnie is looking into a Fisher Space Pen for his MOLESKINE, so I told him of this Pen Hack i had found. Check it out...

Burton and iPod Collaborate

This bag is flippin sweet. Called the AmpPack, it holds your iPod in the main pack, and on the shoulder strap there is a built in controller using SOFTswitch technology. How cool is that!!! It also has an easy side-access pocket for your laptop. I will be getting an iPod just to get this bag.

STAR WARS: Episode III

So recently my younger brother, Drew, purchased threee tickets for the midnight showing of STAR WARS: Episode III, THe Revenge of the Sith for thursday the 19th. He said he would sell one to me , which i think is reasonable. But now he claims he will sell it to his friend at regualr price, and IF his friend does not buy it he will sell it to me for FIFTEEN DOLLARS!!! He is completely black balling me. Now, for sure all the first showing tickets have to be sold out. I will be stuck at home wondering who fricken sweet Episode III is, and i will probably be pissed all day at school. Lucky for me it's a long day with all my classes.

Im Blogging Baby!!!

This is it, my first official post about my life, or lack there of. I still have some editing to do, so don't go all hyper active on me when you see something incomplete or confusing. So thanks to my new friend, all you amazing viewers wondering how a how to achieve "Nerd-Like" status now have an answer, free of charge, which is unheard of in this day and age. I usually write in my Moleskine notebook, but Donnie recently persuaded me to start my own blog, which will be huge by the way. I have some more editing to do with this flippin sweet blog, GOSH!!! But if you have any suggestions, comments, or thoughts fell free to drop them off, literally.... just joking.... but seriously!
