Ok! Time to update my blog before anything else happens. Just to fast forward, me and Stone had an awesome time at Archestratus and the Mellow Mushroom last week. We tore dat shit up. Hell, Stone was El Mago thursday night!!!  Met a cool guy named Eric. Badass bass man, badass to no end! We were like, "Dude where the hell do you live?" He's like "right here"  Uh oh, I need to listen to some rap.....there we go! "Pump it up!" by Joe Budden. So we got Erics number. Ok skip some days fast forward to sunday night! We decided that we were gonna try to perform at the Warehouse. It was litteraly a warehouse that had been fixed up. It was cool! So we go inside and Mr. Virgil was there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  He said he figured we were gonna be there so he came down too.....to check on HIS children haha. Then all of a sudden this guy named Tim came over. "Y'all gon' do sumthin'?" I say "Yeah he's gonna play guitar and I'm gon' sang..." LMAO!!! Ha! I was talkin' so redneck. Y'all don't know what that is soooooooooooooooo nevermind. Anyway, He chatted with us for a time and he told us to "jam like hell. Hey we're all a bunch of lowdown flithy rednecks around here but, please do some blues." LMAO!!!! Dude that was funny. my dad had to laugh. By the way, Mom, Shaheeda and Wa'el weren't there yet  Mom and Shaheeda were waiting for Wa'el to get off work. Grr. Stupid loser job. So STone tells Tim "Well we're gonna try to mix it up" and Time says "Yeah I'm all for that man. Hell, do some OutKast. I like OutKast." LMAO!! the guy was a riot. Ok well there were 2 acts before us. This one old man named Doug....Frank I think. DUDE! HE WAS FUCKIN' AWESOME!!!!!! He played lead guitar. Just awesome. It didn't make any sense. Anyway me and Stone talked to the guy in charge of the open mic, a guy named Mike, he told us how he was gonna hook everything up. Mr. Don Evans was there. Ouch. Nice man, he's a popular attorney in the state. *sighs* so Mike tells us that they're gonna let him play cuz they don't wanna hurt his feelings. Aww. Mr. Evans plays country music sooooooo *sighs* everyone was just gonna bear with him. He only did 2 songs, thank God. Tim comes BACK over and tells us "Y'all know that's just Don EVens and uhm, we usually don't have music like this so, still go up there and jam like hell. Play like you're in your living room." And I ask Stone "Hmm, is he SURE he want's us to do that?"  Hahaha. Mr. Virgil was all paranoid. He wanted everything to be perfect for us. He was like, "Check that mic; is that loud enough? Is Stone getting sound through his guitar; what's that noise? You need to cut that off. Is her mic ok? What about his mic?" HAHAHA!!! Aww Mr. Virgil is so sweet. SO we introduce ourselves and everyone is ready. We had planned what were gonna do BEFORE we got there, but usually AFTER we see and feel the atmosphere, we change our line up of songs. We decided to kick it off with some Blues. Dr. Feelgood (AKA Guille Coria ) OK! Heh, I sang da hell outta dat song. "No presents". Then we did uhm...."All or nothing"! and uhm "Plush" which is a fav everydamnwhere. then some more blues and an original, "Misleaded". We were fixin' to get crank but POW! Mr. Virgil shows up and stops us. Ha! Good thing he did, we would've tore the roof off the mutha. But oh well! We get off stage. The folks were estacic. It was almost scary. Ok ok I'm tired of talkin' bout this. We had a great time. I loved it...mostly.
SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! hehehehe!
I went 2-3 yesterday in finals!!!!!!! I got Willy Canas and Tommy Haas. Venus lost to the big D-Port but it's all good. Cuz WILLY KICKED GAUDIO'S ASS!!!! Guillermo Coria was like "Fuck! I couldn't get dat mutha fucka!" den Guillermo Canas stuck out his foot and tripped dat bitch and holla'ed back "I GOT HIM!!!" HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Hmm same thing happened with Roddick. Got past Guille, den got his ass fucked up by Willy. Hey you know what's a problem? Why the HELL ain't Gaudio playin' no hardcourt tourneys? HELLO??? OLYMPICS? Bitch. See, Guille and Nally-B give a shit. They're training on hardcourts, they're getting ready for Toronto, Cinci, the Olympics and the USO. I don't know what JI is doin'. But what's the deal with Gas eh? He clearly doesn't give a damn. He's just on the team cuz he won RG. *sighs* how simply gay. We could've got A-gUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUstiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Calleri if it was gonna be like that but he's injured. Wah. *sighs* hell, Guille and David are basically gonna be the whole danm team besides the doubles team. I forget who that is right now....Ok. Toronto starts next monday. How will I survive?
Steve is official a Sun now. He's still wearing #13!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA! Holla holla. Uhm, the Nets traded Martin to the Nuggets. That was dumb. Now the Nuggets have Martin, Nene, Anthony, Camby and Boykins. That's a dangerous combination. Kidd was pissed about it. He'll probably want to be traded too now. Then Nets NEEDED Martin. I don't blame Kidd for being pissed.
Shaq is with the Heat now. The Lakers got Odom, Grant and Butler. Ouch. Ok, the Heat roster took a MASSIVE blow JUST to get Shaq. *sighs* I don't know if it was totally worth it. Won't know till the season starts. Bryant re-signed with the Lakers too. That was so lame. All that speculation and talking to the Suns, Nuggets and Clippers. Everyone thinks he re-signed cuz Shaq was gone. That's possible. But I think money is what influenced his final decision: $136,400,000,000? Hellfire, who wouldn't want THAT? Even if the team sucked. Like Ivan Rodriguez did. He was great with the Marlins, a very good team who even won the World series last year. But no, he signs with the DETROIT TIGERS. An AWFUL team, but they offered him more money. What was he to do? Dumbass. Ok that's baseball so let me make a new paragraph.
Speaking of the Tigers, all of a sudden dey kickin' ass! They won the 3 game series vs. the YANKEES!!!! How-? Ok. Oh yeah, the Tigers got Urbina too. Save pitcher from the Marlins. Yeah they're doin a'ight. I think Rodriguez' BA is .386 or sumthin like that. Very nice.
The Red Sox were thinking about making this deal where they'd trade Nomar Garciaparra for Randy Johnson. Now THAT'S stupid. Don't think it's gonna happen though.
Ok I'm tired of typing.

WARNING
This blog entry is rated [R] for...alot of things. Soooooooo procede at your own risk!! Like I said, I can get VERY honest!!!
Where's the Magic at? *background music* Where the Magic be? Where the Magic is?? Ok ok *sighs* Guille is still training hard...for hardcourt season. He's skipping everything in Germany ya sooooooooooooooo Toronto is the next tournament he's gonna play in. Y'all fixing to see some dead mutha fuckas!!!!!!!!!!

Aw hell naw! I heard what he did to dat other mutha fucka!" and dey gon be forfietin' and shit. Bitches!!!! Y'all don't want no mutha fuckin drama!!!!! Watch wut'chu say 'bout G.C.! Cuz he will knock yo' ass da fuck OUT!!! Man I can't WAIT!! VAMOS MAGO!!!!!!! Ok now the NICE way of saying it: Guille gon' be kickin' ass.
You know what's a bitch? That damn G-tennis game! Man that shit is a bitch! Man, I have all kinds of break points on Mago's serve, then all of a sudden, he start acin' yo ass out wide and you be like "Oh NOW you can serve.." and that stupid Magic Shot shit! Man, it was deuce on MY serve, adv Mago, I hit this dope ass backhand deep close to the baseline but OH WAIT! All of a sudden! He DERRE! "Coria! Magic Shot!" I be like "aw damnit!" I be cryin' and shit nah not really  Hahahaha ok it's still a cool game...execpt when my sister is watching. She just HAS to tell me what the mutha fuckin score is: "0-15!......ooh 0-30!!!!...0-40! Break point!" Ah hell! I can't get no damn peace! Dude I'm acting so black today. I should use a different dialogue but eh, I'll stick with this one for now. Mississippi language.
Eh, Oh yeah! Man! Beca told me that Steve and Alejandra are having twins! Now, *sighs*, Steve and Ale ain't married YET. You 30 damn years old brutha, what's the problem? Y'all been livin' together for 4 years and shit y'n'w'm'sayin'? Look at Guille! LMAO!!! I ain't fixin' to get in dis shit man......but um, yee, congratulations Steve! Now get married before you have some bastard twins please?
Man!!! Yesterday was "Fuck-up-sakeena's-day" day for my sister  Yeah. So, it was all good till she came over just like she does every sunday....Only THIS time, as soon as she gets here, she gets online in the living room...on the tv. Now, no one can use the internet, tv or phone. She gets over here at 11 a.m. ya, and she's stays on-fucking-line till 3 p.m. ..............No internet, no tv, no phone. So All me and Stone did for the most part of the day was play video games. Kingdom Hearts. *sighs* But ya know, I try my damnedest to be cool as hell cuz when I get upset, everyone be like I always have an anger management problem So anyway, mom wanted her to help me cook something so she comes and tells me and I'm like "Ok :) " No problem cuz I'm doing a VERY good job being cool. So I end up doing all the cooking myself (which I didn't really mind) and she occasionally passed by the kitchen. I guess she FORGOT that she was supposed to be helping me. But oh well, I didn't need her messing anything up. Don't want or need no damn drama. Now uh, we were talking bout somthing and SOMEHOW, we got into a discusion about how my middle name (saara) is pronounced. It's Arabic. I (and everyone else) has pronounced it "saa-rAH" since i was very young ok so that's what my name is. But NO. Shaheeda just CANNOT do this. "It's suppossed to be "sah-rah." "No but that's not the way I WANT it pronounced, just like you don't want your name pronounced 'Shaheedar'". And oh goddamn, everything was fine until she had to do THIS: "Well then it's ok if I pronounce Coria's first name 'Ghee-Yairr-mo' " OK, that's crossing the fucking line damnit. She did NOT HAVE to go there. I said "His name is 'Ghee-Jair-mo...." "well this is America and we blah blah blah..." "Listen damnit, you can fuck my name up but you say his name right." But noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo she's gonna fucking INSIST on say "Guillermo" incorrectly ON PURPOSE. Ok, that was just the last goddamn straw. And she was just, all fine and dandy, happy that she's come over to my damn house and made me feel fucking misereable. So I decided that EVERYDAMNBODY was gonna fucking learn how to fucking say "GHEE-JAIR-MO". It's not that goddamn hard. I wasn't that upset about her not wanting to respect how I wanted my name to be pronounced, but that she had the mutha fuckin audacity to disrespect Guille as a means to piss me off. SO then she starts to act like nothing happened and tries to be all nice and SHIT. SO then I remember something: I forgot to drop off a key her the previous day. I was like "Oh damnit..." I was kinda freaked out, but kinda happy that she was feeling just as awful as she'd made me feel That is so evil I swear. God forgive me. Anyway, I told my dad about the key and so he takes her to drop the key off. YaY!!!! She's gone, she's gone *victory dance*. Hell I had myself a good ass time for those 30 minutes before she got back!!!! With her husband. So everyone is eating. Me and dear lovely Stone are sitting at the table, Shaheeda and Wa'el are sitting at the bar. Then all of a sudden she starts whispering about how I want my name pronounced and that it wasn't right and shit. So I interupt their rude and audacious whispering and say "You don't have to make a big fucking deal out of it." Then she starts talking all loud and tries to get all in my face you know what? Fuck this shit man. At least everyone ELSE understands how I want me name pronounced. Sha-sha still insisted on prounouncing Guille's name wrong. Grr. Anyway I took the blame for the key. It was my fault I promise. Not gonna make any excuses and I didn't. Shaheeda is a cool chick most of the time, but sometime she just have a mutha fuckin' objective to fuck with me. *sighs* Guess I just have to forgive her.
Ok! Hope nobody was OFFENEDED by some stuff in here. I put a rating at the start so don't say I never helped you By the way this is a laughing face: just so y'all know :)
Later!

Man why dis shit got to happen eh? FAWK!!! :'( :'( :'( How could I forget??? Yesterday was July 1....Steve officially became a free agent....and decided to sign with the Pheonix Suns. What?! WHY! What happened? I know. The stupid fucking Mavericks didn't want to pay him what he's worth. Cheap BASTARDS!!!! GRAH!!! :'( :'( Steve stressed that he wanted to stay in Dallas and that he anted to keep playing with Dirk for the rest of his career but fuck, I don't think the Mavs valued Steve as much as they wanted everyone to think. "Oh we wouldn't DREAM of breaking up the Big 3 BUT.....we just CAN'T pay Nash what he's worth SO....." Shit! But hell I fucking said it: I said that if the Mavs didn't give Steve more than that wimpy ass $5M a year, I hope he's go to another team. Hey look! I was RIGHT. Being right can be a bitch sometimes. Mark Cuban came out talking that transparent bullshit about how they weren't gonna trade Dirk....."Or Steve for that matter" BUT he never mentioned if they were gonna RE-SIGN STEVE seeing as he was a FREE AGENT. Don't try to confuse people bitch. Heh, maybe you confused a few but hell, not me. Stupid bastard. So! Y'all don't wanna pay Steve? Fine! I'm a mutha fuckin' Suns fan now. Hell, I like Amare Stodoumire and Shuan Marion anyway. Now with Steve filling the void that was left when the Suns traded Stephon Marbury, the Suns have a new Big 3. *sighs* God I'm so irate....I guess I shouldn't be. Steve had to do what was right for him even if it meant leaving his friends, his brother and his teamates of 6 fucking years. Hell, his girlfriend still has to go to school in Texas! Now what? Damnit! Steve gave so fucking much to this team. Before that first game vs. the Wizards when he injured his shoulder, he went 195 games with no injury. HE DID NOT MISS A GAME. If he was hurting, he'd play. If he was sick, he'd play damnit!!! And damn near every loss, he'd blame himself. "I should've made those free throws" or he should've did this or that. God! Steve was THE MOST HUSTLING GUY on the whole damn team. Then last season they traded Van Exel who was the back up PG and then got Best who SUCKED and then Steve ended up having to play more minutes and shit, the Mavericks organization was so inconsiderate concerning Steve. I'm glad he left that fucking organization. Shit. I guess I'll still root for the Mavs but damn, I'll can never EVER root against Steve. Shit, Steve is The Magician and I know I know I know Guille is El Mago BUT Steve was The Magician FIRST so BLEH. By the way it's a 6 year $65,000,000 contract Steve has with the Suns, which happens to be the team that originally drafted him in the 1996 NBA draft.
Anyway *sighs* I thought nothing could get me down yesterday. After being totally high over Guille, I found myself incredibly low over Steve and it was like POW!! Severe mood swing. Then I had to sing that last night and didn't even practice a fucking NOTE all day. Stone had practice at Chris' house with Nub, Chase and Dan. So hell, I didn't even know what songs we were gonna do. I was out of the house most of the day anyway. I washed clothes all day, then I had to go shopping with mom and dad cuz my big bro and his family are coming over for the weekend. That took about 3 hours then as soon as we got home I had to cook dinner and clean up the kitchen. That was at 5:30 p.m. and we had to be at the Mellow Mushroom at 8:00. Fuck, uh, then when I finished cooking I was about to eat then for some reason I just had the urge to put the tv on ESPNews and that's when I found out about Steve. Shit I was fuck..out of it. It wasn't as bad as when Guille lost at RG but it was fucking close enough. I cried I promise. I didn't want to eat. It was 6:....something, I don't remember but I was sad, then irate. I was tired. I had been up since 6: 00 a.m. which is crazy I know so I just said "fuck dinner" and I went laid down but I was so upset about Steve. Shit. Uhm I couldn't understand why he didn't resign with the Mavs but then I figured it had to be something on behalf on the Mavs organization that made him not want to sign with them again. MAN! I still can't believe #13 is gone!!! :'( :'( Ok ok ok. It was about 7:00 when I decided to get ready. I still hadn't warmed up my voice but oh well. I put on some jeans and my boots (in the summer) cuz it was raining and it was so wet outside since it's been raining for 3 weeks. I'm not complaining, could be worse. Eh, Stone called on the cell, he was at the Mellow Mushroom already and he told me to burn a CD for Chase and I'm like "Oh yeah". I do that and I felt the need to bring my mic so I did. It was time to go then so yeah, I got the mic, the CD, the umbrella and the house keys and mom and dad are already at the car. "Looks like I gotta do EVERYTHING myself! Maybe I could use some help, but hell if you want something done right, YOU JUST DO IT YOURSELF!" "Boiler" by Limp Bizkit. Ok, it started raining again and I was carrying too much stuff to open the umbrella so whatever. I get to the car and throw all the shit in back seat and get in. and we're off!
We get to the Mushroom and Stone and the guys hadn't even set up their equipment yet. The room where they set up was being occupied by some folks that wanted to sit there and eat all night. SO when I get there, the folks were just leaving. It was almost 8:30 p.m.. I don't see Stone so I go over and ask Nub where he is. he's like "I dunno somewhere I think he just stepped outside." Then he craked some dumb joke about me Chase going out Dumbass....but a COOL dumbass nonetheless. So I finally see Stone, he was outside with Brach and his bro blah blah skip some stuff I ask him "Did you hear about Steve?!" "Uh no what about him?" "*sighs* He's gonna sign with the Suns :( " "Oh man what?" And Cassy comes over and she's like "Who?" and I answer "Steve Nash. I was so upset." and Brach says "Ya didn't cry did ya?" and I say "Yes I did I promise." *sighs* so anywho, we go back inside and Chris starts moving the furniture (the busted table from last week was gone) and Chase brings in his drums. Rocky 4 was on. It was so gay. I promise, Guille, I love you, but you have AWFUL tatse in movies. Or maybe he hasn't seen all the Rocky's. Beyond Rocky 1? I bet they all suck. SO anyway, The Marlins were getting their asses kicked by the Braves..Grr...and um, the band was almost ready to go. Oh yeah! Me and my mom met Nub's girlfriend. Her name is Rebecca. Heh, ANOTHER Rebecca.....that makes 3. Ok. She said it was her first time of seeing Nub perfrom cuz at all the other places she was too young to get in. Aww. So anyway! That was cool. Well skip skip, Rocky 4 was STILL [blank] and um Sylvester Stallone is a horrible actor. Snake Creek started theit gig! Hee hee. That's Brach and his bro (I foget his name) and Chase. Dru was nowhere to be found so they were without a bassist. They did my song!!! It was an original they wrote and it's so cool and catchy. I can't remember the name but I had it stuck in my head. Ok hell, then they did "Voodoo Child" by Jimi Hendrix. BLAH. they butchered it. It was awful. Uhm I forgive them though, they said it was their first tme performing it. Hell, Brach didn't even HALFWAY know the lyrics. SHit i could've sang the whole damn song. But anywho, they did 3 songs then they had to go...except Chase. Uhm, then Stone, Dan, Chris and Nub started getting their thing together and got their set going.The first song was called "Went down swingin' ". An original song. It was awesome!!! The ending lyrics were funny cuz Nub kept naming people that "went down swinging" LMAO!!!! "Just like the Olsen twins! They went down swingin'!" It was so fuckin cool. then they did another song they wrote called "throwing stones". IT WAS OFF THE HOOK!!! SO COOL I PROMISE. I loved it. LMAO! Nub couldn't remember the lyrics so he had this napkin that he wrote the words on and he had to keep looking at it. At least he got it right...So it was me and Stone next. Man, Stone had played bass all the damn day and he LITTERALLY had blisters on his blisters a the tips of his fingers. Shit, Safin ain't got SHIT on Stone in the blister department. Oh yeah! Hehe a funny thing was everyone was using a turner to tune their guitars to the right note while Stone tuned his by ear. He knows ALL the notes A-G PRESICELY...don't need no damn tuner. Yes. He IS da shit  Uh, Wa'el and Shaheeda had showed up!!! YaY. It was cool. I get up and Stone seems disgruntled for some reason. So we do "Wonderwall" by Oasis first, then Nub with his big mouth asked us to do "Shimmer" by Fuel. Hell I started the song "She calls me from the cold......blah blah blah blah blah..." I FORGOT THE DAMN LYRICS! Stone was like "Aw hell nah we startin' dis over." LMAO!!!!! So he tells me the rest of the lyris and I was like "Oh yeah yeah!!! Ok...". the crowd was so forgiving. Then we start over and I get it right After that we did "Misleaded" and oh FUCK!!! Stone made me do "Arrow"....it's an original song and it's a bicth to sing cuz the notes are real high. I hadn't practiced the song in WEEKS which is IDIOTIC. But hell, you think I was gonna back down from a challenge? Hell I was like Guille on grass last night OK! I KILLLED the bitch! I murdered the damn song....that means I sang it right. Once I got past the last STILL LIVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!" I was thinking "I'm in the blue!! wah!" Someone was talking when I was singing and someone told him to "shh!" HAHAHA! That was cool. BIG APPLAUSE!! Oh Stone had that shot going too. He was awesome AS always. Then we did a request. "Drown in my own tears" by the late Ray Charles. We killed it. BIG APPLAUSE again :) It was nice. OH! Then we did "Landslide" by the Dixie Chicks. Me and Stone ha sthis confrontation about if Stevie Knicks was with Fleetwood Mac when she originally did the song. I said she wasn't BUT the bartender said she was OK! :p Oh Nub loved it!!! So did everyone else. Then we did ONE last song that blew the damn roof off the house (not litterally) "PLUSH" BY THE STONE TEMPLE PILOTS. When we announced we were gonna do it the place went wild. I counted it off, "1, 2, 3, 4..." Stone starts the riff and aww MAN! Chase had to get on the drums. He held up his hand and I was like "yeah c'mon man!" Hehehe "And I feel, that time's a wasted go....so where ya goin' to tomorrow and I see, that these are lies to come. So would you even care?" One guy was so stoked....beyond stoked. Man when we finished that song, we didn't HAVE.......no more to say. Then the stoked guy came up and did a song MAN this is just too much to talk about. *sighs* If y'all wanna know what happened wednesday night, check out my other blog at www.xanga.com/coriafan1

Well crap. Yesterday was a bitch. A couple of dogs attacked my chickens. Grr. There's no adjective to describe how fucking pissed I was. Dude, I chased after those mutha fuckers I swear. I used to be scared of dogs, now I hate them with a vengence. Wish I had a gun. I'd...ok. Anyway, all my chickens survived but 2 were missing" Prissy Ann (a Dominique hen mixed with something else). She's black with litterally SILVER stripes and a green tail. And a Rhode Island Red hen was missing. *sighs* So Stone found a big pile of Prissy Ann's feathers and OMG I swear I almost had a fucking heart attack. I almost died. This was damn near as bad as when my brother was murdered last year. *sighs* ok, so, we didn't find any blood anywhere so we had hope that maybe she was still alive. So we go looking for the other hen. We didn't find any of her feathers anywhere so we figured so was ok and just hiding cuz she was scared. So me and go back inside the house after searching for about 2 hours. C'mon it's 2 acres of property. *sighs* Mom and da had to go to the doctor so they were already gone. We decide to watch the Hewitt vs. Moya match. We were all frantic and stuff cuz we kept looking out the back door trying to see if Ann or the other hen had showed up. Sam was still crowing so the hens would probably follow where the sound was coming from. Finally my paranoia paid off and I almost had a heart attack AGAIN when I look out and see Prissy Ann standing in front of the chicken coop. I run outside and let her in. YaY. One to go. Da da da, skip some stuff. It was about 3 p.m. when my mom found the other hen. she was tanding over near the work bench which is about oh....10 yards from the chicken coop. All the feathers on her back and tail were gone and she was bleeding :'( Did I mention that I hate dogs? Well I hate dogs. SO me and my dad gave her a bath in some Bedadine shampoo ya and uhm, then we wrapped her in a towel. She was very very very very very tired so all she wanted to do was sleep and drink water. I had to give the water to her cux she couldn't get it on her own. She didn't want to eat either :'( SO mom was like, "now we have to give her a name" and I say "Guillermo", and she says "ok". :) <3 Anyway, she's doing better today. She finally ate something and she's able to walk around. We just put her outside in a small pen by herself until she heals better; then we'll put her back with the other chickens. By the way, no one can pronounce "Guillermo" :p. My sister was like "Isn't that a guys name?" and I say "so?".
What else is important? eh nothing I guess...OH YEAH!!! HELL YEAH!!!! My brother Omar (different Omar this time) is coming over for the weekend with his fiancee and alot of our neices and nephews. Now, most of our nieces and nephews are the same age as me and Stone. Heh, I hope we won't have to put up with any bad little kids *prays*. So that's gonna be cool. The 4th of July in on sunday. FIREWORKS!!! Hehe we're gonna make Wa'el and Shaheeda light some ;) They're scared of damn near everything. Shaheeda doesn't even watch PG-13 movies and she's 20 years old!
Gig tomorrow night! I think Stone and I have a pretty balanced selection of songs for the people. This certain group is hard to please. But *sighs* I think it'll be cool this week. Maybe there won't be so many "old" people like last week. Speaking of last week, heh, I forgot to mention: The crazy bastard I was talkin' bout looked like Xavier Malisse. Then there was another guy there that looked like Nal-b...I'm not pulling your ass. AND there was a guy there that looked like JC Ferrero....with anorexia. Heh, it was "Tennis player look-alike" night at the Mellow Mushroom. Of course you won't see any Guille look alikes cuz he's unique ;) :p
I miss Guille. <3 I hope he's having a stellar vacation :)

Well I had a boring day. It rained and rained and rained and I was depressed for some reason...oh yeah I remember now but I don't wanna talk about it. But anyway, Stone wrote another story today it was funny as hell. So that cheered me up a bit. He's the only guy besides Guille that can cheer me up. So anywho, I started working on my drawing again. I finished tracing the original outline that took me about....3 hours to finish. I miscalculated the amount of room I had and heh, it wa stoo big SO I had to trace on another piece of paper. Now, normally people would use a lightbox for that BUT po' folks can't afford that SO: Window! Haven't seen many sunny days though so I didn't finish the entire tracing. Oh well. Anyway, I realized that I suck and that my observation of the pic was horrible. See below:
In circle 1, I drew the sleeve too wide so I fixed that ya. In circles 2 and 3, I totally DID NOT SEE THE RIBBONS. I was like "Hey how'd those get there?" Heh, and I have 20/15 vision Ok, in circle 4, I forgot to draw the other frickin' handle. Now, I know I drew this before cuz I was so stoked about doing the ribbons ya. Then I remember "Oh yeah! I forget to retrace that part". No actually now I DO remember WHY I didn't trace that part: Cuz the trophy is on a slight angle and I didn't do it right SO, *sighs* I'm gonna retrace the WHOLE thing. Ok, in circle 5, I drew the arm too big when I did the first trace. I erased that and redid it :) OK! After I cleared up all the mistakes I wanted to go on and do all the detail BUT that'd be stupid if I'm gonna retrace it So I started on the MOST dreaded: The head. *sighs* It'll make any artist quiver in their boots...unless they're a professional portrait artist which I'm NOT. But I would say I'm pretty good when I'm focused. Anyway, it came out good. I didn't do the features yet cuz it'll be difficult to trace. I did discover some things though: Wrinkles (in clothing) are not lines, they're SHADOWS. Ha! I should've noticed that before. I also discovered that Foreshortening is a bitch Drawing the left hand was THE hardest thing. But it's all good.
Didn't watch any tennis today. Too lazy to switch over to the cable channel to watch. At least I didn't miss the Hewitt vs. Moya match. Don't give a damn who wins, just hope it's a blood bath. Hope Henman wins Wimby though. It'd be nice for him to win the thing in his home country :)
Well dats it :)

Well Mago lost yesterday. 6-4, 3-6, 3-6, 4-6. Poor kid had fluid in his shoulder.
*drool*...I mean uh, owwies. He didn't use the injury as an excuse of course. But still, he didn't get punked. He wasn't all upset about it which is good. He said he was kinda sad but happy Y'ALL KNOW THE DRILL! SO anyway! He's gonna take a break now!   He said he's gonna take 5 days off (why not a whole week ) and then he's gonna go home and start training again. Dude, I was freaked about about his shoulder. But at least it was fluid and not SOMETHING ELSE. He said it was worse than when he had kidney stones!!!!!!!! OUCH!!! Golly fucking gee! Man this kid can endure some shit. I dunno why he continued with the match....oh wait yes I do. Die hard. *sighs* I dunno HOW he played the rest of that match. Crap. Well I hope he enjoys his vacation! (duh) and he said he's gonna send pics! He PROMISED. So if we don't see any pics, everyone will have to bombard him with e-mails Oh yeah! He's gonna do alot of hardcourt tournaments. Man, I tell you, Mago is beautiful on hardcourt. It's incredible how he moves!! I wonder how he'll be now with Markus working with him. He said him and Gabriel are carefully selecting which tourneys he's gonna play in. He said in the post match interview yesterday that he was gonna play Toronto, Cinncy, the Olympics and the US Open. OMG. The Olympics are 16 days long right? I don't even know how tennis works in the Olympics. Are the matches played in rubbers like in Davis Cup? I dunno. *sighs* he's gonna play doubles with David....Nally-B....too. Uhm, Lleyton isn't gonna play the Olympics cuz he said it's too close to the US Open. Fawk, Guille is the hardest working kid on the whole damn circuit. The kid worries me. He's like.....Superman, or trying to be. Some serious conviction I swear.
Ok about the gig thursday night! It was great. *sighs* I needed it so bad. I was more relaxed this time. We were the 3rd folks to perform this time cuz our set was kinda long and we didn't want to hold up everything. We had Chase play a few songs with us (drummer) so it was all good. OO! Omar was there!!! HAHAHAHA!!!! Crazy guy. Dude, he wouldn't let anyone else on the stage till we did "Shimmer" by Fuel for him. That's his fav song. Ok so we did that for him and that was it for us. Then this crazy ass, half-drunk guy came up with his accoustic guitar that was NOT tuned right and he was gonna play harp too. He didn't have the right keyed harp so he asked Nub for a G harp. OK! The guy starts playing ya and um, everyone started clapping. His playing sucked like hell but he could sing pretty good. It was some rockish-country song. Then he starts swinging his damn guitar everywhere knocking over mic stands and shit man. He was crazy. Then he jumped up on the table infront of me and everyone had to move their stuff so it would get knocked over. Then he stomped a hole through the table  I mean the asshole was out of his fucking mind. Stupid bastard. Nub tried to fix the table but eh, shit. Ok after the bastard was done, receive his applause, whatever. Then we had 2 guys come in, one with an Alto saxaphone and the other guy had a guitar. So they set up their stuff and they were using someones tuner (I think it was Chris' but he was in another room). They didn't know how to use it so the guitar guy "put it down" but happened to miss the table, dropped the tuner and broke it. I mean, SHATTERED it. OMG....I guess it was the night of breaking shit
So they did ok. Stone was on the drums. The kid sounded like he'd been playing with those other 2 guys for months. If Stone hadn't been playing, they would've suck big time.
Ok I'm tired of talking bout this.
NBA draft. I can't believe the Magic selected Dwight Howard as their first round pick! I was like STUPID!!!! At least they got this kid from St. Josephs. He's a mad wicked baller SO the Magic have something to fill the OMG MY SONG JUST CAME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!! "YOU! DON'T! WANT! DRAMAAAAAAAAAAA! YOU! DON'T! WANT! NOOOOONE!" rap song. Folks be like "rap isn't music, blah blah blah" they can blow it out their asses. Rap is da shit. Anyway like I was saying, the Magic have to fill the T-Mac void.
The Bobcats got Okafor. Heh, I guess I should feel bad for the kid. Brand new franchise, they're not gonna win too many games this season.
As for the Mavericks, we got the #5 pick from the Wizards. Some kid named Harris. A POINT GAURD. So what the fuck? Now we have 4 frickin' point gaurds. Donnie Nelson was like "He's gonna be tutored by Nash blah blah blah" HEY! We already did that with Daniels. Are we keeping Steve or not?? Stop talking in code language. *sighs* See, Steve is the guy I worry about when I'm not worrying about Guille. *sighs* Ok, I got word last night that we're NOT trading Daniels. Soooo are we trading Jon Steffanson? Beca will be torn. I believe Jon thinks he's gonna be traded. Beca said he wasn't online all day yesterday And oh yeah!!! The Mavs made an attempt to trade Harris and...someone else I believe to the Warriors!!! But it didn't work! WHat were they tryong to do? Get Nick Van Exel back??? Oooooh MAN!!! That would've been so fucking awesome. Almost everyone misses Nick I almost had a fucking heart attack when he was traded last season. Then we didn't have a decent back up point guard (except Daniels but he's a rookie) and Best was inconsistant. Uh oh, my OTHER song! "People play yo' flute! *da da da da!*" *sighs* I used to play flute Uhm but anyway, Donnie swears they value Steve and Dirk and they're the center on this franchise and they don't take that lightly. Well why don't you just come out and say "We don't want Shaq, and we're not trading Nash and Nowitzki." What's the deal eh? Man, basketball business is shady. That's why I love tennis more You don't have to worry about your fav player being traded
Well I guess there's more to tell but I'm tired.

Tee hee!!!! YaY!!!! Mago won his match!!! *sighs* Didn't go like I thought it would...I thought he was throw down a couple of aces hahaha. OMG!!!! I'm so fucking happy!!! Oh!!! I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look how happy he is!!!
Aww!!! ESPN showed it too! He jumped much higher than what this pic descirbes I was like "Dude!!! The Kid's got mad hops!!!" *sighs*
But man it was weird. Ok he got the very fisrt serve in, got the point off a forehand error by Moodie who seemed to be a bit....Ok we all know the joke Ok NEXT SERVE! An 88 MPH first serve? Fault Guille (in the net) next sevre was 113 :) Ok that worked but then a lines man called a FH from Moodie long and the Ump overruled it. Ha! 2 more serves for Guille Next serve. Let First serve.....fault. *sighs* Now, I had already seen the score online, (got up at 5:50 a.m. to be sure not to miss it) but ESPN was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sweet and showed the rest of the match, actually cutting into coverage of the Roddick match!!!!  It was UNBELIEVABLE. Ok back to the match, Guille (Jay Jay :p ) gets the second serve in. Awful game from both sides but oh well! Moodie hits another FH long and Guille jumps up like one of those, small, really bouncy rubber balls ya? Ever seen one of those? Hehe he was really happy and Moodie was.....y'all know the joke Hehe Carla was really happy too :) Guille throws his fist in the air and jogs over to the net. .......I have to crack this stupid joke: Moody Moodie wasn't in the mood to shake Guille's hand. He did but it was quite halfhearted. Oh well. He came, he saw, he kicked some ass, now he's in the second round of Wimby :) Mayer next. A German claycourter from what I've heard. Weird. Oh well!!! Go Mago!!!!! But even if he loses, I'm so damn proud of the Kid, gosh, I can't be too disappointed, although he may be.
I would go into the fucking shit that happened today in the V. Williams vs. Sprem match but I won't. Man I felt like ripping someones head off. Ok...
I'm worried about the draft tonight. Mavs got the #5 pick from the Wizards. We also got Stackhouse and 2 other guys I'm unfamiliar with. But we had to give up Jamison The Ninja, The Assassin. *sighs* Now there's a rumor about that we might trade the #5 draft pick, Josh Howard, Stackhouse and Steve Nash for Shaquile O'Neal!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take whoever you want damnit but Not Steve!!! I very frustrated about this. But I heard today that matbe we'll trade the #5 pick, Howard and Dirk Nowitzki for Shaq. Now, as far as I'm concerned, Dirk is not as good as people want to make him out to be. He's....OK. But Shaq is 32, Dirk is 26. Shaq is fat, Dirk has bad ankles. Shaq is a dominate player, Dirk can't play defense if his life depended on it. Listen, I don't gave a damn what happpens with Dirk and Shaq. But I want Steve to stay in Dallas. He said he wants to stay in Dallas and I hope that's the case. But if he goes anywhere else, I'm can't be rooting for the Mavs anymore. Steve is the guy who got me frickin interested in basketball.
Man. I'm gonna miss the draft because me and Stone have a gig tonight. But crap, I don't know what's gonna happen. PLEASE DON'T BE STUPID MR. CUBAN!!!!
Like I said, I got up at 5 to catch the rest of Jay's match, and um, I've been up every since. I feel tired but I have to sing ya. *sighs* Good thing I ate that victory candy!!!! FOR GUILLE!!!!! hehehe I'm crazy
Ok I gotta get ready now.
Later,
