Work at Carrabbas has been going pretty good. At first I hated it because some of the things I deal with are disgusting, but its ok now. The people are nice too especially this one gay guy who is a little too nice to me. He tells me about how he drinks wine and takes baths after work. It kind of freaks me out. My eyes have been opened to something else; tipping. For those assholes who have tipped shitty tips, even tipped gum, mints, cigarettes, stop. I’m not innocent here, I've done it, but it sucks to get that and I'm not going to do it anymore. I don't get tips directly, but I get a percentage and some waiters give me money. Oh and a little side note, Carrabbas is safe to eat at, Just be careful with your bread. My birthday is tomorrow...

Finally. I have a job. The thing is, I needed a job because I got an townhouse with two of my friends and had no job to support it. But now that I have a job, everything is good to go. I forgot the name of it, but its two stories and huge and on South Side blvd. I can't wait to move in June 7th. The only bad thing is I have to move back home for a month. Its either live on the streets or live at home. I'll take home. Man I can't wait. I've gotten pulled over by cops for four driving violations this semester and not gotten one ticket for any. The first was for rolling threw two stop signs in a row, the second for speeding, and the third was tonight for reckless driving. I forgot the term the copper used, but he said I turned into the parking lot too fast and too sharply. I've gotten out of them all. I'm unstoppable with these devilishly good looks and charming personality I guess. I can't get pulled over anymore, I'll have to keep my good eye out for them pigs.

Anyone who knows me knows that my car isn't what you would call the "classiest" car on the road. And due to its oldness, the paint on the hood has badly oxidized to the point where if you run your fingers on it, you can basically draw or write words, and people have done both. Am I mad? Oh, I'm mad. Since last semester the phrases and images of swastikas and penises have built up. No matter what my hood may say, I am neither gay nor do I like boys, and I do not take it up the ass. This may be comical to some, but my hood is not your personal insult board. I know some of my friends have done a lot of it, and I think random strangers have done some too. I’m pissed and I’ll get you if I hear of anyone defacing my car.

Don't know why I haven't updated in so long. The thought just never crossed my mind. Do I dare say I'm mind... blind?... Wouldn't that by silly. I did however eat dinner with a prominent person in Jacksonville last Tuesday night. I attended a very exclusive and high status dinner party at my room mates house on the westside with such guests as Henry Mooneyhan, a candidate running for council-at-large or something. It's some sort of political office here in Jacksonville. Well anyway, look at this way cool super awesome picture I ran across. picture

Here is some late breaking news. Apparently the infamous saddam hussein has a raunchy and well gay past. Word is is that in his younger days he stared in several gay pornographic films. That was the last thing I was expecting. Well it's true, for the full story go here. I have also come to the conclusion that any country whose people celebrate by gathering together and jumping up and down with guns and sticks in their hands sucks.

Lately I've been playing James Bond OO7 Night Fire for my Game Cube. A lot of James Bond OO7 Night Fire. My roommate and my friend Nick and I have been that is. We've been playing so much in fact, that we temporarily rearranged the room to better fit our game playing needs. Forget being able to walk in the door and even be able to make it to the other side of the room. Our continuous game play also requires less sleep. I stayed up until three on Sunday night and had class at eleven the next day. That isn't so bad, but I actually couldn't fall asleep because every time I closed my eyes all I saw was images from the game. The game is pretty realistic too. It's not like the old one for N64, its much more real. I've gotten pretty good too, so basically I'm a real killing machine... because it's just like real life.
4.7.03/6:52am | something smells fishy
I saw something weird today. On our way from downtown to the skate park, we stopped at a gas station. I waited in the car, but my friend when in to get two drinks. When he was in line, the guy at the cash register just gave the first guy in line over eight hundred dollars from the register for apparently no reason at all. It was some black guy driving a cadillac. The funny thing is after he left, we were driving right beside him and he had all the money in his hand, and pulled into the first liquor store he came too. He took all his money straight to the liquor store. Also I found a huge turtle in the road in a neighborhood and put it in a box in my car and drove it to a lake. It was about as wide and long as a piece of notebook paper.

As I'm sitting here on my computer at 3:30 in the am and looking around on my site, I realized that the sites one year anniversary was two days ago. April 1st. I completely forgot. Actually it's not like it matters. The only thing that matters is me getting a job at Carrabba's tomorrow. Wait, in like ten hours. What else is funny is that there was one other person on my site about fifteen minutes ago, because it said 2 person(s) visiting this site. Who is up at this ungodly hour? And what the shit is up with my last guestbook entry. Some finish fag. I know you are from finland, I tracked your ass.
