AS '06

Josh Shockley of Anti Shave 2006 shaves after almost 8 months. No, he didn't make it through the entire year, but it was fun watching the transformation from a "normal" college student into a scraggle monster. I don't see anyone else trying to log their 'no shaving' experiment on the internet, and for some reason he has now become a disgrace, or at least that's what it seems like through comments being left on his blog.

Super Official Update

I haven't had accessible internet for a couple days. The last of Scott's stuff was moved out along with his computer. I am now saving up for a Macbook Pro. My dad said he would help me out with it, so it shouldn't be too long. But being online as much as I am, was, it seems like forever since I last updated. Been workin' a lot, longboarding in my off time and just livin'.

Manhood Hath Been Reclaimed!



More pictures!

Yes, our manhood hath been reclaimed. What erked me a little though were the unbelievably old and retarded drivers we had around us.

So, while on a practice run, maybe 3/4 of the full Modoc, I had this one couple try and engage in a conversation with me while at top speed. I saw them coming up close behind me and didn't appear to be slowing down. I waved back at them to slow because of obvious reasons. They both waved back at me like nothing was going on. All of a sudden, the are right next to me asking, "What?" Not as in 'What did you say?' but 'What do you want?' I told them that I would be turning right there and that I need them to slow down and back off. "Why?" "::nervous and scared chuckle:: I'm longboarding." Let me remind you that I am still longboarding and going through the fastest part of Modoc. So, they begin to slow and fall back, then just as the turn come nears for me to turn to off on the old fuckers peed right back up and pass just at the street. I was forced to continue down Modoc and take a right on Siskyou.

Fucking old people baffle me.

Fwork

Donnie, Stephanie and I met up with a few others at the Dressler cabin for a little thing I like to call 'Cabin Life.' It was a fun experience. I only agreed to come because I had work at 4:30 in the pm the following day. Upon waking up, I received a phone call from my boss requesting me to come in early due to a freakish rush that literally went non-stop from opening to close. So after I left the cabin and was nearly to the North Medford exit, I realized that I had forgot my apartment key at the cabin and now have no way to get ready. I then tracked down Donnie, stole his keys, got the apartment key copied, returned his keys safely and left to get ready.

So while at work, customers were coming through constantly. We had no down time what so ever. We got way behind, and no one was able to make a shopping list for stuff we would need the next day so that we wouldn't run out. After the final customers left, there were only three people that would be closing, including myself. By the time we were supposed to leave we were just over half the way done. I had to stay the rest of the time by myself because of legal issues*.

So after I was all done closing down the food court and had it all inspected by the assistant warehouse manager, I still had to go "shopping" and pull all the "dry goods." Basically I went and picked out all the food , materials and packaging supplies so that we would be able to run the food court smoothly tomorrow.

And on top of all that hell, I forgot a belt, meaning I had to rig one apron as a belt and wear my normal one above that. But, I did get overtime and I have to day off tomorrow, Wednesday.

*I was the 8 hours person, and everyone else had a 5 and a half hour shift. It they were to stay more than a half hour after their shift, meaning they were there for 6 hours, they would have to be offered and required to take a lunch, and if they weren't or didn't, Costco could get in very big trouble.

Vox

I'm really starting to like Vox. Not just for blogging, but all the little extra features it has. I like the "Questions of the Day" and "Vox Hunt," and then being able to look through and being able to see others responses. If you would like an invite, let me know, I'll hook you up if I have some left.

No Muchos Gracias

Have you ever taken a bite of something, in reference to food, chewed it a few times, then really didn't feel like finishing it? It just sits in your mouth neither being chewed or swallowed. It might be extremely lazy, but I just had one of those moments. I just sat there, kind of disgusted in myself in the decision I was forced with: Giving up. I didn't even want to spit it out, mainly because I did not want to see what it turned into, and second, it was Muchos Gracias (I <3 Muchos) Maybe I've just had enough of really expensive Mexican fast food, I don't know.

Revenge

Over a month has passed since Modoc has claimed one Donnie Jeter and one Adam Machado. But in a miraculous turn of events, the dopetastic duo has returned with their eyes targeted and locked on a single place: Modoc.

Since their passing, the two have gone underground and have been training in secret, on hills yet to have been named, determined and focused on taking back what Modoc had taken from them: Pride and flesh. It has been said that their skill has more than doubled since the last time they toured Modoc. Some believe in the saying, "twice the pride, double the fall," but since the day of the incident, the two have known no fear and have showed no weakness. With each day that passes, the towering tag-team gets smarter, stronger and more importantly, closer to thier nemisis.

Payback's a bitch.

Stay tuned for information on their next encounter with Modoc the Malicious.

Star Wars reference?

So Grown Up

Donnie and I made our* way out again for another longboarding session. It was a good day. We started off on Stonebrook, off of Delta Waters, and looped around to Cedar Links road. Then we took Cedar links, whioch kinda makes Modoc looks like a little bitch, but we waited till traffic slowed and went for it. You get some good speed going down, but there are good road to turn off onto. We board for the Lord!

*Thanks, Pretty.

Oregon Cabaret

Went to the Cabaret theatre in Ashland last night with the family. We saw 'Five Guys Named Moe.' It was an awesome show. The conga line was fun, and the audience participation was great, well, except for one guy. Thanks to Drew, our table received the most attention in the place. Drew refused to sing the following lines,
PUSH KA PI SHI PIE- EH EH
PUSH KA PI SHI PIE- EH EH
OOBLI AAYEE EYE YAH HABLA
IT'S THE NEW CALYPSO BE BOP
so every performer came and sat at our table and tried to help Drew grow some balls. They were unsuccessful.

Anywho, it was a really fun night. Definitely the best show I have seen there since we started going. The truly earned their standing ovation. And yes, the Dick Hay pie was absolutely awesome, as usual.

White Label

This will be this next shirt the I buy. Classic looking Nike t-shirts always earn style points, in my book at least. Yes, this shirt may be expensive, but it's a small price you have to pay for self-esteem.

Urbanoutfitters.com
is where I will be purchasing it from, they have a few other White Label tees, and many other stylish shirts. I think that this would'll be the hottest shirt I own, and that's saying a lot. I know you all are thinking, "What can be hotter than the Cougar Hunter and Jesus?" Well, Nike's White Label LA Orange Fields could very well be hotter, we'll just have to see.

Hot Diggity Dog

Some fool ordered 20 hot dogs today at Costco. I laughed for a second and said, "Yeah Right." He maintained a straight face and said nothing. Panic! At the Costco. With the 20 hot dogs comes 20 drinks. Luckily he had to use the fountain to fill 'em up, instead up us doing it. He was there for a while.

Moblog

I have setup my vox account so that I can use moblog and update from my SLVR while at work. I don't text message that often, and now I can use them to update my blogs. Their are usually pretty interesting things that happen at work, but I end up forgetting them when I come home after work to relax. Now I can take a "bathroom" break at work and BOOM, an update.

Here is a story that happened at work, and thankfully someone helped me remember it and got me all riled up, again.

So, I'm at Costco, behind the counter waiting get to take the next member's order. We have to call them "members" because they sign up for a membership to get into Costco, and saying, "I help the next customer" or, "Hey, guy" is considered being inappropriate. Little did I know that the next customer was going to be the "Asshole of the Week."

This Kid, well, maybe 20 to 23 years old, walks up with his hands in the pockets of his blazer and asks, "What's in the berry smoothie?" ::confused face:: "Uhh?" I turned around and looked at everyone who also was wearing the same face I was. Not because we didn't know what the ingredients were. Well, we didn't, but it was the fact that he asked what's in the berry smoothie. BERRIES YOU FUCKING IDIOT! As I look for the nutritional fact sheet under the counter he says in a snobby voice, "If it's that difficult you can just forget it." I stand back up, chuckle a little bit and say, "Well it's just a little bit of reading, that shouldn't be hard for a guy like you" ::starring him in his bitch-ass eyes::. I proceeded to do the toss/twist/throw thingy with fact sheet so that it was facing him when it landed. Then I walked off, not too far, but just enough so that he would have to wait and I could say, "Sorry, I couldn't see you (you fucker). Then he looks over the sheet and say, "Mmm, berries." Duh! Fucking rich people and their rude, snobby ass kids.

Well, that's my story. May not sound like much, but it pissed me off.

I misread my schedule for this week and went in like 4 hours today. They had a sick call in earlier, so my manager let me stay and get some more hours. This puts me at about 40 hours for the week. That's pretty good considering I was only supposed to have 30 hours this week and usually get no more than 32.5. MAKE THAT MONEY, HOOOOO!

Shucks, I'm Back!

This morning was the first time since my accident that I took some hills with the S.9. And to be totally honest, it felt phenomenal. We started pretty light, picking out some hills with long, gradual downhill action, then moved up to some steeper sloped roads in east Medford. I hadn't really taken any big hills with my board, it's more of a town cruiser, whereas Donnie's board is a bomb dropper. So, all in all, we had a pretty good day boardin'. Now we are taking a breather before ewe head on out to Costco for some good eatin'.

'Longoarding: It's A Lifestyle' coming soon!

That Just Happened!

Can't go wrong with movie quotes for post headings.

I had to drive the Golf out to Specialized Auto this evening so it could have some work done on it tomorrow. My sister followed me out there so that she could give me a ride back after the drop. When we arrived, I park the car in a random spot, put the keys in an envelope an dropped them through the mail slot. When running back to Allison's car I yelled, "That just happened!" Then, when I go to open her door, which had it's window rolled down, I plowed it right into my face. Shortly after, "THAT JUST HAPPENED," was exclaimed by my sister.

It didn't take long before I realized what really went wrong, besides the whole making a total ass of myself part. On the Subaru, which is my daily driver, when the window is rolled all the way down, there is no trim that holds the window in place above it. So when the door is open, the highest part on the door is at the bottom of the window, like this (not my Subaru). But with my sister's Honda, it looks more like this (not my sister's Honda). So when I went to open the door, I had forgotten that it had that lip and drilled myself from just left of my nose all the way down to my chin, which left a nice little welt and just enough insecurity to make me feel like a tard while waiting at The Dirty for my crispy chicken sangwich.

I guess that the "That just happened!" before and after the ass kicking was pretty appropriate.

I'm All Hopped Up On Mt. Dew!

I just saw Ricky Bobby last night with my brother, Alex, and my sister, Allison. It was amazing. For me it was funnier than Wedding Crashers. I only say this because in Wedding Crashers there had to be a joke or some other reference made in order to get the audience to laugh. There were a lot of references and jokes and it was also an amazing movie. But in Ricky Bobby, you just couldn't help but laugh because they were showing the ridiculousness of NASCAR racing, it's drivers and fans. All they know it to drive fast and turn left. Like Donnie said in a conversation about the movie, "It probably has the best one-liners I've ever heard in a movie."

And who knew that on Sunday nights, Tinseltown was he place to be? I sure didn't. The entire crowd was between 18 and 24 years old, with the exception the creepy, mid thirty-ish looking dude in front of us. I have also never seen so many people that I know, or have met on multiple occasions, at one time. It was like it was some huge plan for everyone to meet at 10 pm on Sunday for Rick Bobby, only there was no memo, it just happened. Whodathunkit?

Say "Yes"

Say "yes" to Arrested Development, sushi and to the apartment life.

Since I have nothing else better to do I am going to add some add some links for you to jump.

This will make me think twice about wresting Scott or Sam again.

Bonsai Sushi

Bonsai Sushi
Bonsai's Caterpillar roll* is an exceptional treat. On the corner of Ellendale and Barnett you will find Bonsai. The other cuisines they have a delightful as well. Kat-Wok roll, Shat-Wok roll!

*When you dine in the roll actually looks like a caterpillar, but when you take out they tone it down a bit.

An Update

It's been a tiring week. Trying to move out and into the Apt. while cleaning my old room out, along with working and maintaining a active and healthy social life. On top of that, my mom kind of "remodeling" our house after the little fire that went up about a month ago. I have been trying to help out there, more so in the earlier part of the week where the latter part was reserved for trying to get settled into my new residence.
