February '02

02-05-02
I thought I'd leave the 31st of January's entry up there because it's just so gosh darn funny eh? anyway. Sorry to have neglected you, put away your pitchforks and torches. I am back. Ahh, the start of a new month... 5 days ago. Well at least I come bearing gifts, like a New Picture Gallery!. It's not the greatest but since I got a little Stickdeath influence it's ok. any recreations will be made using greeners and blues. Ok. So.. hmm...
. . . Last friday we were going to play pool with william, but there was a small chance he'd want Stacey to go too, and nobody wanted that, then Katie said that Katie2 was coming to visit her and they were going to get drunk. So adam thought that sounded better than being with the llama stacey. Katie2 works in Iowa with asbestos removal or something, I dunno, but she makes like 20 bucks an hour so hey, why not. At the time chuck was still out of the group, so it was just me, adam, bryan, katie and katie2 there. oh and this dude Chi-Town, one of bryan's friends. We were over there and before they were going to drink, they wanted to go to denny's. So we did and it took forever. There was about 8 people ahead of us, and like 2 tables open, then these 2 people walk in and like cut to the front of the line. Bryan did the Jamie Foxx "Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" with the hand up to the face and everything and told them to get in the back and wait in line like everyone else, so they're like, oh sorry and left. heh. Finally bryan's like f00k it and seats some of the people (remember, he used to work there) plus bob was working and he didn't care if he did that. So he sat some ISU band people(wtf) and the group ahead of us like left, so we're like, yay. Had to take a booth and have 2 chairs on the outside. It was pretty damn busy and junk, but we were ok. Sharing happy stories making fun of riverton parke and whatnot, We told wendy just to leave the coffee pot so she wouldn't have to come fill us up every 2 minutes and she did. Yay, first for everything. We stayed till about 1, then katie2 thought we should go so they could buy the alcohol before everywhere closes. The liquor stores were already closed so they went to wal-mart. Katie and Katie2 were getting plastered at outrageous speeds, with lots of gin and tonic, rum and dr. pepper. Bryan was just downing coronas all night. Then later Araf and some other arab dude came by and everything was alright. Drunken fun. Me and adam didnt' drunk much at all though, we were still feeling the aftermath of the whole Gold Schlager incident. I had like a sip of rum and coke bryan made, which was way too strong, and later me and adar made a pitcher=o=koolaid with a small amount of everclear. very small, like 1/3 what we usually use. Then later adam takes a shot of everclear because peer pressure always wins against adam. Anyway, in the living room it was a discussion about religion and why young girls like old guys, and in the bedroom it was discussions about politics and bryan and katie's somewhat odd relationship. Me, bryan, and araf in the living room, adam, katie and katie2 in the bedroom. After araf and other dude left me and bryan went into the bedroom to join in the conversations in there. then it got back to religion then on to science being theory... don't ask. Things were getting hairy, bryan yelling about electron microscopes, again, don't ask, and I was arguing that perhaps what we see through the microscope wasn't really how the atoms looked... now you have to understand I was extremely tired and he was drunk. To make a short story long, he kept yelling about stuff and I left about 8 to go get ready to bowl at 9, and during the time I was gone till adam got to the bowling alley at like 9:45, lots of stuff happened about bryan still yelling, katie being upset that bryan's a d*ck sometimes and that at the moment they don't have the funds necessary to live where they're at now and so on and so forth and it turned to a bad episode of cops. Heh. no real hitting but still. I'm at the bowling alley bowling and having a gay old time and there's this new person on our team, It looks like her name on the sheet is Britanie Robits, or Roberts or something. the way it's written it looks like Robits. Me and ryan just said screw it, we'll call her rabbit. heh. She wasn't there so we don't know what she looks like yet. After a bit adam came and told me about the domestic disturbance and after bowling was done we just drove around a bit, adam griping about general things. I dropped him off at home and went to sleep. I was sooooooo tired.

What happened saturday night... hmm.... I believe saturday was the day chuck rejoined the group, and thus far has done very well in not being an a-hole. We went to denny's and about an hour later bryan and katie came in and they sat with us, only we were near the back and bryan had pulled up a chair, and some old ogre looking lady's like, can't do that, fire hazard. and bryan's like, yes I can. Anyway, so we move to table 10, the big table and it's ok from there. Bryan had lost his voice from yelling the previous night, heh. We stayed there another long while and bryan and katie left, then chuck left and me and adam were waiting to pay the bill. A black'n who was waiting to be seated or something sat by our booth and started talking to us. after a few we just gave Kathy the money and left.

Sunday I went to adam's around 6 for the whole superbowl thing and chuck was just getting the grill up and sh*t and Me and chuck were the only ones rooting for the patriots, although adam conveniently changed his pick to the patriots in like the third quarter when they were up 17-3. In the end pats win, yay. Chuck went home and me and adam went to denny's for a bit, talking about random things, life sucking, needing jobs, needing to drop the lbs. and so on.

Monday Not much happened for awhile, I had taken a shower and when I was about to go just drive around as I often do, chuck came to the door so we went driving around just listening to music, then I played some final fantasy 8 for a bit, I'm trying to beat that game now even though I'm only about an hour and a half into it. Then we went to adam's to watch Monday Night Raw. Well poo, left out something. Ok earlier monday I was talking to adam online and he's like, I don't think I'm going to move my stuff today, and I asked why. Kay and Kristy got robbed the day before. They took a laptop, another computer, VCR, jewelry and stuff. Kay and kristy were like, scared poo-less and so during RAW, kristy calls and asks if we could come over for awhile to keep company because kay, heh, she's like, "I don't feel comfortable here" and goes to her boyfriends for the night, leaving kristy there alone. Heh, that just sounds funny. Kay doesn't feel safe so she leaves kristy there alone :) anyway so after raw we go over there and just loaf around, make fun of the navy because kristy's boyfriend kevin is an asspirate, errrrrr, in the navy and stuff. Chuck left around 2 and kristy went to sleep around 3, then me and adam left ab00t 3:30. He took assclown over for entertainment, plus assclown's going to live there soon anyway so might as well help him get used to other cats and a new place sooner.

Today I get up around noon, but go back to sleep, despite my alarm still going off. Wake up around 1:30 and turn on jim rome and later got online. Adam was on asking if I are was ready and I guess. I went over there about 4, despite not feeling well. guess i have a cold. We loaded up chuck's truck and put stuff in mine and adam's car and took it over. Kay was about to go to work and she had gotten assclown his own little collar with nametag and stuff. yay. Kristy and asspir.....kevin were in the bedroom making little sailors or knitting sweaters, you decide :) So we move all the stuff in there and go back to adam's. Loaded the 2 couches in the back of chucks' truck but as far as I know they haven't taken them yet. I came home because I are not feeling like the million bucks I usually feel like. more like $1.50. Well anyway, that's about it. Hope you took the time to read all this. I know I sure like writing it. Grr.

Yay, on Planet Half Life again. Check out the Mail I sent in, regarding swearing in online games and why it's gay for being punished for saying "shit" every once in awhile. Click Me!


02-07-02
Yay another journal entry for feb. K well adam and chuck got everything moved out and adam's room is set up all purty now. I have some pictures I still need to edit and put up. It's nothing great but I've been neglecting my camera for awhile, it was getting upset with me. And two new animals to add to the online journal cast, Jojo and Zoe, who looks like ziggy, only smaller, so I call it little ziggy. Went to adam's last night and saw his room and kristy was there, but kay hadn't been home in awhile so they think she's just staying with matt for a bit. After a little bit there we tried to call pooh but nobody answered or someone was online, so we drove out there and his truck wasn't there, so we just went to denny's. A little bit later chuck came in and was irate for not calling or going over there, until we rained on his pity party and told him we did call and we did go out there, we just missed each other by a few minutes. Stayed at denny's for awhile, japanese buzzsaw was working and we were afraid he'd green mist us so we left. Today I got up and listen to some Rome. Adam got online, he had to go to the bank for munny and meet me at bowling. Thing is, when I first got up, I walk into the den and first thing old man wilson says "You gonna shoot a 700 today?" Not Now, idiot. jesus. the 1 superstition I have in bowling and he never fails to use it every f'en week. I can't have people tell me to shoot a certain number or tell me what I may need for whatever. Like if I'm doing good and you say "hey, all you need is a 260 game to get 700, peanut butter" then that pretty much guarantees I shoot a 259 or less because I can't do that... I dunno, the only superstition I have... and every f'en week my dad's like "It's about time you had a 7, isn't it?" and each time it guarantees me not getting it... oh well. So I go bowling and no I didn't get a 7 as expected. barely got a 600, despite having a 265 my first game. Hannah was bowling on the lanes next to us, yee. And Amanda wasn't even there, hannah, all alone, looking bored, ready for pappy to be a smooth criminal. But I never did. afterwards we went to the mall and I bought the nickelback cd, Silver Side Up. it's good. Adam got POD, Satellite. Went to garfield's, sarah wasn't working. oh well. this little'n kept looking at me. I overhear her dad talking to some other people, saying she's 14. dammit. anyway. nevermind such dribble. Left, came home and watched family guy. yay. that's about it for now... I guess.


02-08-02
Man, my stupid birthday's tomorrow... 20 sucks eh? oh well, better than 50. Last night after we went to garfields, adam got online and said he may be getting his job back at garfields. Said his sister who still works there, talked to the manager lady lisa and she said to have adam call and talk to her directly (lisa) about getting his job back. so if she doesn't want him talking to any other managers, she must want to be sure to get him back. Yay, so adam may have a job. and if he does get it, then joe will probably put in his app. it's done but just not turned in yet. That wouldn't be so bad, working with adar and sarah. even though if I was a cook I'd only see her like 2 seconds while she's walking by. but that's the story of my life. heh. I'm tired. I should go to sleep so I can bowl well tomorrow, and go to denny's before bowling, and then bowl good and meet rabbit and watch DBZ and stuff. yeah. k I'm done.


02-09-02
oh joyus day of days... me and aymee's birthday, hurrah... it used to mean so much as a kid but now it's just another notch in the ol' chair... if I had a chair to put notches in. Yay, I can now say I'm 20... anyway. I couldn't sleep last night. tried to go to sleep at like 9:30 for denny's in the morn, but couldn't so I just stayed up all night playing final fantasy 8 and watching family guy I taped thursday. So went, mealed and stuff, then me and adar went bowling. did decent. except in the second game when my dad pulls the same sh*t, "hey joe, all you need is a..." then the game went to sh*t from there. he has yet to understand that I hate it when people tell me what I need, it jinxes me... stupid old man. ok. anyway. yeah... that's all I really care to mention. l8r.


02-10-02
So anyway, after yesterday's entry, I pretty much just fell asleep til about 4:30 or so and we were going to go to garfield's for meal but had to go to the bowling center to wait for aj to get done. He took about forever then we went. My parents were like "joseph you're so tired you're going to fall asleep driving and wreck!" like I'm a retard and try to sleep while I'm driving. just because I only got like 2 hours of sleep yesterday. heh. anywhoo, got to garfield's and my parents were waiting outside. It looked a little busy inside... they said they were put on the list and they'd call their name when they have a table open. Thing is, old man wilson decided to go, so they'd have to make room for 5 in smoking, which would mean putting 2 tables together. All the big tables made for more than 4 people are in non. Can't have that! anyway. I'm just saying, old man wilson didn't even want to go out to eat on HIS birthday, so not many of us expected him to be keen on going out to meal. anyway, so then I see sarah come outside and go say something to an old guy, probably also waiting for meal, then she comes up from behind me and gives pappy a nice big birthday hug. yay. Then she's like, you guys should go inside the mall, that's where they call the names for people waiting to be seated. heh, my parents are so silly. if by silly I meant subtly stupid :) It's even worse in there! All these people waiting. grr. So I'm like, screw this, we can just go somewhere else or home and order something. Then my bro gets all testy because I guess he's too good for pizza or chinese now. But we finally did go because it'd have taken forever to get a table and I didn't wanna risk getting a stupid happy birthday clapping noise thing from garfield's staff. dumb thing. heh so we go home and meal and pappy are all good. Later I go to adar's and kay and kristy, mostly kristy though because kay is lazy, heh, sang happy birthday, or some rendition of it I think :) j/k and they got me a phat stein for my applejuice, yes! cold apple-y goodness. While there chuck kept wanting to smoke weed and so did adam, so now they're both back to sodomizing each other. And chuck's like "come on d00d, it's your birthday, take a hit" I'm like, eh, no. See, adam's so confident that he'll get his job back monday at garfield's he can smoke weed all he wants now. as much as it would suck because I want a job there too, it'd be funny if they said no or they gave him a drug test for some reason and then he's back to square one :) anywhoo, random semi-drunken madness inserted here, then I came home around 3:30 and slept like a cheeky monkey. Watched some happy bowling on tv. I are love tehbowling. So uh, guess that's about it for now. Put up pictures from last night. Nothing too entertaining, though. Click me, eh.


02-14-02
Yay valentine's day *grumble grumble* anyway. enough of that. Monday night I went to adar's around 9 and watched some wrasslin'. Kristy was reading A Walk To Remember, and after she got done she's like "omg omg, that's the greatest book on earth!" and almost fell into a coma or something, heh. Needless to say that was an ongoing joke that night. Then we were all, me adam and kristy, were badmouthing chuck whilst I drank some applejuice and then chuck comes over. heh. So we stopped I guess. I kept drinking my applejuice and I guess adam was trying to get me drunk...err... happy from so much of the A.J. because just before I finished a can, err, little pouch of apple-y goodness, adam's pop... stick another straw in another pouch. k it's getting too hard to come up with different things, I are was drinking tehbeer. k. anyway. he kept giving me another can before I could finish the one I had. anyway, about 8 beers later adam took chuck home then we went to denny's. It was ok. Some people were eyeing adam's car, and donny, dude who works at denny's said he saw them like writing something down, looking at his car, and when they saw him they like bolted. oh well. left. nothing much then on. Yesterday adam tells me he got his job back, yay. And apparently chuck has a new job too, selling weed... so if anyone wants to turn him in, Charlie Harold Joseph Porter, Lives by dead man's curve, and stuff, so feel free to turn him in. I wont' bother unless there's a reward or if he starts saying he's making more money than anyone and tries to act high and mighty. anywhoo, me and adam went into denny's tonight and jesus h. w. christ III, sucked. wasn't even all that busy but we got seated by the japanese buzzsaw and that was it... I got coffee, which i couldn't drink because I did not receive any creamers, and adam got his coke, and no refills on that... so we were irate there. That was just some crap, yo. Yes, this night was the worst service we'd ever gotten. I don't think we'll be going back in there until we see more than 1 server in there. Well tomorrow, err, today adam goes to garfield's to fill out some paperwork, then we bowl. Then we go back to the mall and mow(pronounced like "ow" with an m, not mow, like mow the lawn) down on some food. hopefully sarah will be working, yay. k well I'm done. that's about all I guess. late
Later That Day...
Went bowling today, got a new kid on our team, some little dude with a mullet. heh. oh well. he's our key to winning now. his average is going to be around 75, so that's hella handicap for us :) everything was going alright till about the third game my right bicep started to feel weird. then in the 7th frame I threw that ball. Ow. I swear it felt like I pulled or ripped something. but it's ok when I don't have anything in my hand, but add some weight, like a 16 lbs. bowling ball and it kinda tingles... hopefully that'll be well by saturday. I don't want to jeopardize my 600 series streak, now to 10, with a 677 today, aww yeah. Man that hurt. THen afterward I came home to drop off the sheet with my scores for old man wilson, the old folks are at a casino, surprise, so dropped it off then me and adar went to the mall. We go in and adam wants to get a hat, so he finds a hat he wants, then they're like "buy one, get one half off" so he HAS to get another hat. just like a female, if it's on sale, you HAVE to buy it. So like 20 minutes later he finds another hat he wants and we walk around. I wanted to see if they had a pittsburgh penguins away jersey but nowhere in the mall had one, stupid mall. Then we went to garfield's, but of course, we see a bunch of people waiting, and we werent' sure if they were waiting to be seated or what, so when we see some dude calling out parties of people, we knew it was busy so we couldn't go meal there. dammit. the only time on thursday I've seen that place busy. figures. sarah was probably working so god sent hordes of people to occupy garfields. They probably all evaporated once me and adam left the mall. Took him back to his car at the bowling center and came home. Parents still aren't home. busy losing house payment money or something. yay family guy tonight. late


02-16-02
Hi. Later thursday night adam was online saying how he has to go to work at 9am friday and stuff, and he's like " I wanna drive around" so he comes by and we do, talking about random stuff again. I was all hype after seeing marilynmanson.com and how he's almost done with his new album, and that he's done like 4 songs for the movie Resident Evil, which is cool in the sense that even more music besides the album, and that resident evil should be out soon too. yay. Phat game. anywhoo, so we got on the topic of girls being stupid, and they are. and adam's like "Don't you ever just wanna take a girl's head and just squeeze as hard as you can and twist it off?" and the hand motions of him squeezing someone's head was hilarious. heh. that's gold. Then to further prove our theory, while in the taco bell drive thru line, this girl gets out of her car and goes behind some fence across the alley, we assume for a potty break, so that holds up the line, THEN her passenger decides she has to tinkle too, I guess. Stupid girls. it's a good thing they were young'ns or pappy may have been irate. Friday I believe nothing happened... yes, nothing happened. Just tried to go to sleep early for the good denny's at 7am before bowling. well, me bowling, adam had to go to garfield's for some kitchen staff meeting at 9 and then work at 10 so I just went bowling. Ryan didn't show up either so yay joe bowls alone again, his favoritest thing to do in the whole world besides getting a stick in the eye. After 2 games, one bad, the next horrible, I decided perhaps I should let my arm get a little better before trying to conquer the world again. So I left. Went home, later GrampappyAJ came by and was like "lucky your arm hurts, that way you didn't get your ass kicked by me, peanut butter" and I'm like, yeah. k. Then he wants to meal, so he thought about garfield's at first, but then whined about it being too far away an stuff, so we go to ponderosa... wow, that thing's changed in the 7 or 8 years since I'd last been there. It's gone from pretty decent place to white trash heaven. The lower class larger people there for hours on end, getting their daily supplements of mealing. At least the female employees weren't bad. yee, a black'n. :) heh. I made a neat little design with some foam and red stuff. whatever they were. A culinary masterpiece. yes. I didn't eat it though, god no. Came home, bro left. Him and misty should be back sometime soon though. I dunno what's going on tonight, probably nothing because adam has to work in the morning again. sigh. yay unemployment rules.


02-19-02
Yay another entry. Sunday night I went to adar's to watch some wrasslin' and chuck came by with his new shirt and jacket, Ooooooh. which by the way he still had on monday... and I doubt he washed those same clothes and put them back on... but who am I to judge people. ok. so later we went to denny's, well me and adam did, chuck went somewhere else and was going to go there later, but we got there and there was a big fat bus and so poo, buncha people. there were a few tables open but since we waited for like 10 minutes and nothing happens, we left. Monday we all went to garfield's around 6, adam had worked from 9 to 4 before though, and I was supposed to turn in my app and stuff but I left it in the car. oops. I did get the marilyn manson action figure though, awwww yeah. went to garfield's, thought the hostess was niiice until I saw the server, niiiceR. heh. anywhoo. mealed, chuck never got his app, yay, and later today we may go back there so chuck can get his app, unfortunately I'd be turning mine in so I get an advantage, yay. After that I came home for a bit and those 2 went to adam's for wrasslin' again. I went over there about 10:30 and watched the rest of wrasslin'. then kristy comes into the room to mingle I guess and when the commercial for I think it's called Hart's War came on, I started laughing because of how she gets all emotional seeing the previews because her boyfriend's a buttpirate, errrrrrrrrrrrrrr, in the navy. heh. hope she doesn't read that :) then she's like "shut up!" heh and said "that's it, we are going to see that movie, I'm going to make you sit there and watch it and hold the kleenex box and I'll be like ' Ohhhh'" making some noise that could be misconstrued as something else ;) and I'm like, Then I throw my arms up in victory, as if I had just done something bad. heh, then she's like, You're a bastard! that was some good stuff right there. heh, I'm surprised she didn't see it coming a mile away. adar and pooh got a kick out of it. we were watching daily show and snl, then we went to denny's. It wasn't busy at all but the service still sucked an arse and a half. we're about ready to say screw denny's until they get more servers, or at least better ones. it all went to hell once they got rid of bob, communist bastardwhores. then we went home... I'm still hype about my comment when kristy was making those noises about the movie, heh... oh man, I are proud.


02-21-02
Hi. Last night went to adar's and kristy had a happy friend over. yee. I forget her name. I think amy. anywhoo, adam and chuck had to get their quota of getting high and I was bored and annoyed because they're annoying. Adam's like "why are you always pissed off whenever we get high" uh, you answered your own question idiot. Thursday I was almost happy about bowling then my dad decided to tell me how I need certain scores and sh*t so that pissed me off. luckily I'm so good I overcame the superstition and still didn't decent. Adam kept getting mad and hitting stuff so I mocked him. heh, then he got mad about that too :) After this we went to the mall and walked around, then into garfield's. Adam and chuck were making rude comments about the hostess' butt. Completely degrading to women. Sure it was the kind of ass you can set your watch too, but still. they need to keep those comments to themselves, heh. After mealing, I turned in my application. Ken, a cards fan by the way, kind of questioned me, like why I quit columbia house, what I've been doing since I did and such. But anyway he said he'd look into it, if there's a place for me, they'll let me know. I guess I'd say I have a 50-50 shot of getting hired. hopefully I will though. to work with gimp goat and sarah and whoever the hostess was tonight with the butt. geh. I'm about to go over to adam's. Oh he said assclown now has worms, gotten from the other kitties. They were supposed to be all fixed up soon but I guess those worms are crafty little fellas and now assclown has fallen victim. Adam wasn't too happy about it either, said he left a note at the house neither kay or kristy would probably like, and I know adam's going to be like "I'm sorry I wrote those bad things, I was just a little mad earlier, peanut butter" but anyway. yeah, I think I'll go now. late


02-25-02
Sorry I haven't written in awhile, but dammit, not much is going on! most exciting thing since last time... eh, I finally bowled my bro, and whipped his ass I might add. then he goes and shoots like a 730 something the next night in league. why couldn't he give me some challenge saturday eh? wuss. anyway, I guess all I really wanted to say was due to a compliment from aymee, I now have a big head about my drawing l33tness and may add a "Pappy Art" sometime soon. I just need more things to draw and stuff. I'm going to try my hand at pookie, heh. this should be good :) late.


02-26-02
Happy day, Stephanie Fuqua IMed me and told me she had her baby the 17th. a girl, 7lbs something oz. and stuff and yeah... I think she named it Kamri. yay. remember, she's the girl who told me we should go out once she's single again, and then a month later told me she got engaged. heh. :-D good stuff. anywhoo. I'm starting to get irate with the other people of the iq club because, well, they don't do jack sh*t anymore. the last few nights, they say they'll get online or come over or something and they don't. last night adam was taking chuck to his house to "wash his face" (he should wash the rest of him while he's at it too, jesus w.) Zing! anyway. yeah. then come up with excuses like the car wouldn't start and it was snowing hard or something. ok. why not just sack up and say "we got high in the garage and ordered pizza and sucked each other's dicks and didn't wanna go out tonight. we like cuddling and giving each other The Shocker" eh, I had a different purpose for updating this but I forgot it... oh well, making fun of adam and chuck will suffice. I went to the columbia house store with me ma and got some movies. Yay, Final Fantasy, Unbreakable and Pearl Harbor. dvd rocks my house down, and only 7 bucks a pop :) I wanted to get Fight Club though but they didn't have it. stupid store. Yay battlebots in about 20 minutes. Since that'll be the most fun I'll have the rest of the night because adam and chuck like sodomizing each other. late


02-27-02
Just as I had predicted, ha! seeing battlebots was the best part of last night.... hell, even less than usual happened. I was watching tv and got online about 1:15 and adam was on, then he got offline, then he didn't get back on til like 2:30 or 3. idiot. but he swears up and down we'll go bump around the mall later. I think my main point of coming on here was to say that I'm going to start work on a new feature, called Lists. Kind of like a david letterman thing, only it's probably not going to be just top 10, but a list of lots of things. one I know for sure will be synonyms for mullets :) heh. AND to say I was just bumping around online and I heard pookie, and as I turned, saw her throw up.... good cat. stupid thing. good thing she hadn't eaten in a bit, since she didn't toss up anything but a thick white looking substance. now that you have a good visual. late

Awwwwwwwwwww yeah, I was looking through my journal archives, and I saw that today is the one year anniversary of stephanie the one who had the baby, telling me she and her now husband got engaged. mwuahahaha, is that perfect timing or what? yep yep, that's good stuff. one year ago today, stephanie kicked my teeth in and used my guts as a garnish for a large dog's meal. :-D
