1800 - 0700

just got done working a 13 hour shift at work. sure takes a lot out of a person. felt pretty sick during the night trying to either sleep in that worthless chair (or should i say, most expensive, useless chair) or just counting down the hours. still feel kinda woozy now that i'm awake after getting some 4 hours of sleep since i got home at 7 this morning. don't ask why i did it. combo of moola, helping kelly out (even though i doubt from now until i quit that i'll have the favor returned), and san andreas of course. i'm about 30-something percent done with the game and have put in about 36 saved hours worth. although all in all, i'd say i've put in about 50 hours or more on the game. last night finished the valet parking sub-mission, got a new girlfriend, and lived my dream of owning property in SF. life is good for CJ and myself. had to destroy what seemed to be a million pounds of mj before the feds came and busted us though. i had a tear in my eye as we torched the fields with our flame throwers.

school is gay still. i'm pretty sure i'll get A's in my classes, but i'm so done with them. kim's sis is in town, or should i say still in town. i know she is bored out of her mind and dying to get back to the comfort of her own home and bed. feel bad whenever anyone comes to visit us. for any future visitors, visiting us in utah is only about visiting us, not utah. there really isn't much to do hear but chat and eat i guess.

looks like my mom is moving again. believe it or not though, it could be for the last time finally. went to the ghetto water park by my house yesterday and had a blast. getting a sort of decent tan. its not that decent in general, but decent for me. still trying to run each night and eating less and less. getting to a point where i feel like i'm starving myself. i still think i'm getting enough food, just not the pounds and pounds of it that i'd shovel in back in the day. i miss food so much.

i swear sen. bennett rocks. i read such good things about him. not about to disaffiliate myself with the party and join ranks with the grand ole party poopers, but he is something else. he is pretty old, but seems very vibrant and alive enough to not only stay in office for a number of future terms, but gain the respect that hatch has received over the last 30 freaking years he's been our guy. and i mean respect from both parties, not just the repubs. speaking politics, i'm reading america by jon stewart. everyone needs to read this. funniest crap ever.

my jeep got the thumbs up from mike's auto shop for driving it all the way to dc. got my contract in the mail for my apartment. and if i can ever get my faggoty ass link box to work, i'll put the link to those apartments up. they are pretty tight. i picture, although i doubt it will be this way, me taking a nightly swim after my workout in the gym each night. four months is a long time, but something tells me that it won't be long enough.

our little jonas got jacked yesterday by who knows what. poor little guy has some cuts on his face from being outside. worst part is that he prolly couldn't fight back since he has no front claws. so i think we'll be keeping him inside a little more often now. its been a heat wave here pretty much like everywhere else in the country. not as bad at the 117 in vegas though. you crazy desert peeps. why would anyone live there? now that i've said that i'm sure unlv will be the only law school i get into. so that about it for now. all the crap below is basically stuff that i meant to write like a week ago. just been too busy doing nothing these days. so enjoy part II. oh yeah, and jimmy eat world's future is sooo good. the rest of the album stinks.

Birth (2004): very interesting, unique, and a pretty good intro. but i was confused early on. the whole package seems like a kubrick copycat. there is a huge child actor part so of course i gotta mention that. he actually wasn’t all that bad. the film is stupid to have so many recaps. and what was she in love with in the movie? the kid’s personality stinks and i doubt she is attracted to this ugly ten year-old. so is it just that he’s got all the memories? the movie isn’t really a thriller but seems like it should be. and the, “let’s just shoot a five minute close up of her facial expressions,” got really old. the story drags. and believe it or not, some of the things that nicole and this ugly kid were doing, i actually thought was okay. (spoiler) and talk about a 360 at the end. the kid should have been shot. i guess worth seeing.

so its 2:55 am and i just got back from running. (like i said, this was written like a week ago cuz its really saturday afternoon right now) pretty crazy huh? i got off at 1 am so what can i say? even though it will do me no good, i’m in a good cycle of running each night and have been for some time now. need to try and keep that going no matter how late it is. lately though there has been some crazy shit creapin up in the hood. tonight in the totally ghetto apartments next to us there were people just standing around chatting outside in their concrete courtyard. who stays up this late just to talk? then i got police crawling up every street. and last night i was running and saw this pretty yellow lab looking thing running between the houses. my first thoughts were that it was going to destroy me, however it just ran away. so i ran another block or so and i started picturing in my head me and that dog running together. after about 5 seconds of that i feel something touch the back of my heel and had this happen any other time i would have screamed like a girl (its dark out there!) and ran really fast. this time i just twisted my head around and saw a yellow leg bouncing up and down and sure enough, my little dog was jogging with me. as much as i wanted to just run forever with my dog i had to stop and get him away from me so i wouldn’t be responsible for him. but he just thought it was some stupid game and was running in the yards and running straight for me and totally being the best dog anyone could ever ask for. then i started thinking that a dog like this had to of come from a really good home and i’m sure they would be devastated to lose their dog. i came close to checking the tags to see if there was an address, but it was like 1 in the morning so i'm not about to go knocking on doors. took me about 10 minutes (no joke) and i finally coaxed it away and took a long detour for the rest of my jog. i was sad not to see the dog tonight. instead i felt like i should be carrying my glock on me. granted its still provo, utah so its not like i’m in that much danger. but still, it was a very thrilling night.

yesterday i did the impossible and didn’t check my email for a full 24 hours. usually i’ll check it about 10 times a day. right now i feel like never wanting to check my email ever again. i hate emails and responding and so forth. its handy, but i’m just sick of it all. too much work. gotta say that gmail is very refreshing.

man, and how sad are the bombing in britain? so much for that war on terrorism eh? granted i’m sure we’ve prevented this and that, but had all our efforts gone to that endeavor instead of iraq, this might not have happened. but then again think of all the bombings in london that the iraqis would have carried out had we not taken them over.

this is really bad, but its so true and i generally like to be truthful, but hurricane season is upon us and i really feel like its some annual event that i’m gearing up for. as i type this there is one headed toward cancun and just jokingly in my head i thought, ooo, that would be nuts if cancun got wiped out. but i’m morbidly curious to see it happen. i know all that crap is pretty tragic, but still. some of the best crap i have on my computer is footage from the tsunami last year and i think its all pretty sweet to watch, even though it was so awful. anyways. it seems i’m always interested in when things beat old records, so here’s so a good hurricane season! and everyone keep moving to florida to keep it interesting. but don't forget your home owners insurance.
