April '03


04-02-03
Whoooo it's april, joyus joy joy. So uhhhh. yeah... Saturday sucked. We went to this bar, Charlie's. and it sucked. People we know, but nobody really felt the need to associate with the rock'n sock connection. Closest to it was jeremy hall. Again, I'm sure they don't mean to exclude/ignore us, but they just go off into their little cliques and me and adam are again left playing darts by ourselves. They say we just need to talk more. No we need to stop looking like zoo exhibits. Adam is a wild mountain goat and I'm grape ape. By the end of the night, adar was bent, hard. He said that was the last time he was going to a bar for awhile. and it's probably true. monday we didn't go, but we had fun anyway :D

First of all, it was opening day of the baseball. Hooooooooooooooooooooooray. Long time coming. The cubs handed the mets their ass like nobody's business. but that will be short lived as the cubs are known to just fall flat on their noses after the... oh... 3rd game of the year. Then later the cardianls gave me about 8 ulcers because the game kept going back and forth, until finally yee, we win 11-9. Awww yeah. Then it was time for tehbowling. We went to the alley and promptly got our beer on. That's my bowling juice. I thought it helped me bowl better (you know, a placebo) but the past couple of weeks I haven't done that well..... the pins just won't f'en fall for sh*t man. ten pin, ten pin, ten pin...... ok. Christi was already drunk as a dead cubs game announcer, but she did better than the rest of us. average wise anyway. Then we were off to imperial. w00t.

At first I wasn't going to bowl but we were going to get a free game because last week their lanes sucked and it was late, so they just said screw it, we get free game next week. so I bowled. and i are glad I did. see me and adam already had a buzz when we got there, then we got some more and it was fun from there on. Much associating with megan. mmmm... and yay I finally got my hands on her. err, well I mean she just decided after she made a good shot to hug me. so uh, yeah why not. pappy need photo to show viewers at home. yeah she was pretty friendly the whole night.........boobies. Then eli starts betting dollars on who would get what and I took the sure bets, by the end of the night I took 13 bones from him. aww yeah. it was starting to get late and they turned off the lights. we were bummed at first, then they turned on the black lights and flashy lights and stuff. whooooooo. Mmm, glow bowling. that was good stuff too. my socks were illuminated quite nicely, so I took off my bowling shoes and started bowling in those. it was rough. I fell everytime I threw the ball, but I still did good. yay. man megan's good stuff... rough around the edges, but ok... So all that was fun and stuff, then we went back to adar's. We didn't really feel like making a great night into a poopfest by going to the bar and ruining it. We didn't go and I just went home. Ahhh.

Tuesday we went to the pizza inn to meal and take greg home. We hadn't been there in so long... after a few hours of conversing with greg and lynn, we went to the mall to bump around and such. Many a young'n in many a small clothing. many a train of thought derailing. Then it was off to pooh corner so he could get some batting cage tokens. After a brief stint at the cages, I went home until like 11. And of course, god had to get his kick to the shin in, and when I was going to go to adar's, I unlock my door and pull on the handle *crack* and the handle goes limp... my freaking car door handle is broken on the inside so I have to open the door from the inside now. that's going to be annoying down the road until I get it fixed. I put in an application at First National operations center to hopefully be a proof operator. I forgot what me ma says they do, but they make decent money, so hopefully I'll get the job so I can make fat cash and get my 63 impala lowrider and get it all latino heat-ed out. Or possibly this Buick near bogey's that's on sale. That would make a sweet lowrider too... Come on gimme the damn job. I know I only type 82 words per minute, despite the fact your minimum requirement is 25, but still. surely they can look past that measley 57 wpm over their requirement and hire me. anyway. out

Holy balls, it's been awhile. I guess I must've been too busy at my new job at First National right? heh. silly kids. You should all know by now nothing good happens to me. Nope nope, instead I are still unemployed, and now I have to go get my stupid license renewed because people aren't taking the old ones much anymore. i almost didn't get into simrell's monday because I had an old one, but derek talked to the guy at the door and the guy's like "yeah I do remember him being in here before, but be sure to get a new one soon" so yeah. good stuff.

So anyway, the reason I haven't been updating is basically... I haven't been too bored. I mean I have, but when I'm bored I end up playing Day of Defeat, a half-life mod online, or recently I've been playing Tiger Woods pga championship 2003. Sweet sweet game. when chuck and jeremy first rented it, I was irate because I didn't like it and such, of course then I actually played it. 2 days later it's now property of joe :D I caught on pretty quick too. chuck had been playing a bit, then he challenged me, so on my first time playing, I promptly beat him by 5 strokes :D yeah... so uh let's see... sadly I forgot what's been going on, other than not a whole lot. The restaurant league ended this monday, so I gotsa find a new league.

Today adam calls me about 2:30 and wants me to go get him and his dad at Old National up by k-mart because his car's broke down.(best 5000 he's ever spent) and so I go there, mind you I just woke up so my hair's going every which way and feeling less than zestfully clean, and I end up taking him and his dad and eventually his dad's wife around. I didn't mind at first, until after the trip was almost done and my car started acting stupid. MAN. it still runs but it just. grr. it sounds like it needs power steering fluid, and I bought some but haven't put any in yet, but I'm sure it'll still be stupid. and I dont' know if it's the cd, but I think my cd player's crap too now, I was driving home tonight and it started skipping a lot. I'll have to see if it does that tomorrow. Usually my car's only good for a half hour of driving or so, I was out on the road for 2 1/2 hours straight with no breaks for the car. thing is I knew if I turned it off then restarted it, it would only run crappier. gah. oh well. I thought it was on it's last leg like a year and a half ago and it's still hopping around triumphantly on that one leg.

Man... only 3 entries in this month... it's not totally because nothing's going on, I just don't feel the same urge to write as much... the beginning of the end of pappyj's online journal? never!... someday... someday something will happen a lot and it will reign triumphant again!!! /me flexes.

Today kayleigh got christened, poor child. lots of people there, minus me :D I slept til like 4. I probably wouldn't have gone anyway because I would burst into flames when I stepped through the church doors. then I had to cut the grass. Adar wanted to go see the wrasslin' pay per view at bw3's but that started at like 7 and I didn't start cutting the grass til 5:30, and seating would be rather limited if we didn't get there at around 5. plus I haven't even talked to him all day anyway.

still no luck finding a job because people can't see good stuff for anything these days. I'm going to end up at pizza inn again or something. on the flip side, because so many kitchen people are leaving garfield's soon, lisa has told adar that he's going to be the top dog there soon. so he's for the most part getting promoted, and I are still unemployed because you have to get sh*t on and take it in order to have a job. principles are not smiled upon in the workplace. no human rights there! all work, all business, no fairness. yesiree.

So anyway, I have no plans at the moment other than going to the driving range, batting cages, and putt putt for awhile... I'll think of something. i'm pretty crafty when I want to be. maybe I'll just charge people to have their picture taken with pookie. out
