We went ahead on and celebrated my birthday today instead of tomorrow. We went to the Family Fun Center and had an air hockey tournament. I got second. After, we went to Kaleidoscope for some of the valley's "best pizza", obviously. Then we came home to a Yummy Cake. My mom got a Grasshopper cake for me, which is my favorite, and had little ant candies put around the edges. It was real nice. Donnie, my sister and I plan on going out tomorrow night for my first legal drink as a 21er. Have a great Memorial Day.
Sadly, around 5 pm yesterday afternoon, my "beard" was shaved off. Donnie was just getting a taste of what the scraggle monster felt like and I had been feeling since day 3. The bald spot on my right side was also pretty annoying, annoying enough for my to take my collar and cover the right side of my face while in class. Also, I wanted to be all cleaned up for my birthday on Monday. I didn't feel like going out all scruffy, so I did what I thought needed to be done.
About twenty minutes after I shaved it off I started to have some regrets. I had worked really hard not shaving it off as well as listen to all the remarks I got around my house about the "dirt" on my face. Then when people started telling me that they liked the beard and now without it I look like a 13 year old, I felt even worse. So, from 20 minutes after I shaved off the beard from my first "no shaving" experiment, I began my new "no shaving" campaign, again. Pathetic huh?
My sister is getting me this Threadless tee for my birthday. If you knew anything about my sister and I you would know that our brother-sister relationship is solely based on playing Scrabble and drinking Starbucks coffee.Labels: Links
Anyone seeing it at the midnight showing? My brothers and I got tickets for the 12:02 showing on Friday morning. The 12:01 am showing was all sold out already. Andrew will be going as Wolverine in his casual attire. Man, I hope there are some crazies out while waiting in line. I think that at all of the midnight showing I have been to so far(Spiderman 2, Harry Potter 1, 3 & 4, and Return of the King) there have been weirdos out. Some people would call them 'true fans,' I say it's just excessive.
Andrew, to spite those freaks wearing Spiderman costumes, punk'd them at the midnight showing of Spiderman 2. About 10 minutes before the movie started he hopped in front of the screen and yelled out, " My friend on the east just called me and said Marry Jane dies!" All hell broke loose. He was boo'd, chased, hunted by security for being cause of the up rising, and was threatened the be chastised. It was a funny story to hear later that day.
Andrew has work in the morning, which sucks for him, but I have the whole day off. If anyone else ends up getting 12:02 tickets, let me know, I'll save a spot in line because you can count on us being their earl enough for B.A. seats.
So it has been about 2 weeks now and Donnie and I are still going with this 'no shaving' thing. Donnie isn't too bad, but I look horrid, sickly almost. It has some length, but it lacks the fullness a lot. My right side also has a hole and is beginning to annoy me. I'm starting to just mess with it and after a while it just makes my face irritated, then I get itchy and start itching it which makes it more irritated. I have to keep telling myself in the mirror, "Buck up you big bitch." I guess that if we want the results we intended on, a gnarly beard, we just have to wait it out.
Some people loved The Da Vinci Code while others found it boring and a bit lengthy, but despite all the controversy it still had a exceptional first day and predicting a very good opening weekend. 'The Code' opened on about 3,700 theaters world wide and made around $7,764 per screen, grossing $29 million it's first day."I think she's (Lindsay Lohan) worth about 7 million, which means she's really poor. It's disgusting."

I remember back when the iPod first came out, I knew very few people bought one. Hell, I barely saw anybody with them at first. But you could recognize someone with an iPod by the classic white ear bud headphones. "Shiiiiit, that fool has an iPod," I would say in my head every time I saw those headphones. Anyone that didn't own the revolutionary new MP3 player either had a some other lower grade MP3 player, CD player, or even a cassette player. With those[other players] came either black or grey headphones, typically. At that time, for me, the white ear buds equaled "cool" and everything else equaled not so "cool." So, are iPods still cool?
I can't quite open my eyes fully, making me look cross-eyed, I start wheezing just from getting out of my bed, cringe every time I swallow, and I'm hocking loogies every 15.43 seconds due to my severe case of post nasal drip. My brother said, "You know Adam, you're not the only one to have ever gotten a summer head cold." "No der, but I have one right now, so you have to effing deal with my bitching," I replied. I wasn't mad at him, just mad because I have never gotten a summer cold before. I woke up this morning crazy hot because 1) I have this cold, and 2) because it is getting effing hot outside these days.
Sexiest cars of 2006. Rolls-Royce Phantom, Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster, Limited WRX STi, and a Honda Element? Nothing against 'em at all, but compared to the other cars with such high prestige, it seems like the odd one out.
I'm Popeye the sailor man (toot toot). I live in a garbage can (toot toot). I turned on the heater and blew off my wiener, I'm Popeye the sailor man (TOOT TOOT).

The infamous Donnie Jeter called me up late last week wanting to make a little wager: the first one to shave* has to give the other $10. In other words, NO SHAVING. Seconds after the phone call ended I thought to myself, "Shit, the gene for facial hair isn't very prominent with Donnie. This is going to be bad." I have thought about goin' grizzly before, but never really followed through with it. I think that was Donnie's intention, for me to become his bearded photographer for the Medfordist. I have taken it upon myself to make up a nickname for all to call me during this period of time without shaving: Scraggle Monster. I don't think it will be too much longer 'till I start feeling better about it, I'm just in the tweener stage right now. If I make it, to the beardage town, I will post pictures my beard and maybe even my winnings, if I win. I'm psyched.
Why isn't there a Moleskine notebook with only perforated pages yet? Or at least a normal M notebook with a section in back with tear out pages. I found that while on my trip to Baltimore and D.C. that the perforated pages were incredibly useful for giving out little notes, directions, and fast food orders. They only have perforated pages, as far as I know, in the Cahier and Reporter notebooks. I suppose that for tear out pages I could just go to Fred Myers and just get a small spiral note pad, but the perforated pages in the Moleskine just make the torn out page look so nice and clean; no shredded edges or anything. I think that if the Moleskine decided to make a notebook with all it's pages perforated, they would see some pretty good results and requests for more shipments. I would convert to strictly a Perf'ed Moleskine user is they did go through with the idea.
While downloading music illegally, I damn near slapped myself in the face when I noticed that I had yet to download Thriller by Michael Jackson. Shit, it's on my all-time favorites list, and it was like the only song I worked out to during all my track seasons in high school. We would hook up the stereo to play only Michael Jackson out on the football field while we ran. He's a genius, lyrically, and you certainly can't deny his other classics: Black or White, the Free Willy theme song, and Scream, among others. I'm ashamed and embarrassed.
Has anyone clicked the new little symbol by the word verification box that Blogger has added? It is either for people that are in wheel chairs or for those who cant read the 19 letter word verification that gets crammed into a 1 x .5 inch area and ends up being a 9 point font.
It is a waste of $2.29 is you ask me. Go ahead and give it a try, it is interesting, but it's not a "carbonated fusion beverage" that will cure your swamp ass while driving around this hot summer. I would best describe it as a "carbonated, ass infused, crap provoking beverage." And there is no inspiring done by Blak, and instead of refreshing my mood, it activated the "take a dump" alarm in my gut. Harsh, and probably too much information, but it's true.
