awwww...October 5th!!!! [05 Oct 2005|11:50am] [ mood | happy ] hehehe, this day 3 years ago was probably the happiest day of my life (so far). It's mine and Casey's wedding anniversary. We both woke up this morning and got ready to go to work, and tonight we plan on it being just us and chillin' at home. Nothin' special, but that's the way we want it. I get paid this weekend, so we're gonna go do something we both wanted to do Saturday night. It should be a lot of fun! But anyways....yeah....today's is our wedding anniv. 3 years married, through good and bad, and still going strong. EDIT: We didn't stay home last night, we went out for an AWESOME dinner, and celebrated a really nice evening together. post comment

Quick update.... [30 Sep 2005|01:27pm] Well, since I haven't updated in a REALLY long time, I figured I'd drop a quick line now. Work is going VERY VERY well. I love my job. There's been discussions of a promotion, but nothing definite, so I'm just listening and keeping my fingers crossed. I really do like it though, it's fun, it's challenging, and it's flexible. I plan on going back to school in January again. I signed up for a couple classes this semester, but because of scheduling and stuff I had to puch my credits to next semester. I'm on my way to a degree though! And Casey's mommy came to visit for a week. She really really wants us to come back to New Hampshire. She's made us a huge offer, and we had some huge serious thinking about it to do. I just don't think we're going to do it though. I have a great job, and a good family down here who we've been through a lot with, and I don't want to leave them. Plus I'm just not sure I want to go back to NH. Yes, I miss the seasons, but I really really love FL too. Other than that, we've been hanging out with an old friend from NH before he moves back at the end of October, and just working and spending time together and relaxing. ::happy sigh:: life is gravy finally. :) 1 comment|post comment

In light of Hurricane Katrina... [02 Sep 2005|02:06pm] [ mood | disappointed ] Here are my various rants on the situation.... BIG thumbs down to 99JAMZ for the comment this morning... "I look on the news and all I see if black people who are in need of help right now...I don't see any WHITE people sitting on the roof waiting for help, or looking for lost ones, or anything like that." Which left me screaming at my radio driving through traffic...."IT'S THE SOUTH YOU IGNORANT SHIT!!!! 95% of the people there ARE BLACK!!!!" I mean, I UNDERSTAND that race is involved to an extent, but I have seen more than a few white families on the news who have been destroyed also. I will personally no longer be listening to such an ignorant station. Oh, and another big thumbs down to Broward County Public Schools for refusing to discuss the Hurricane in the schools "because it will traumatize the kids". No, I think from here on out they will be more scared of EVERY hurricane because we didn't take the time to say "ok Timmy, this really bad storm happened, but we are learning from it, and next time we will try to be prepared, and you should bring in the change from your piggy bank and try to help these poor people out." You wonder why people don't know how to help out? It's because we're teaching them at a VERY early age that if it doesn't involve you, you can just ignore it and don't talk about it and it'll take care of itself. A Big thumbs down to the looters and people who can't be civilized. I understand that there's no money to go out and buy supplies to get you by. Food and water to eat and drink, clothing to get you by and keep you covered, that's all great. I understand. But WHY OH WHY must people steal a 35" TV set in a city that will most likely not have power for 3 or 4 months? It's not gonna float, and you don't even have a house to put it in anyways! Go steal a flashlight, some tools, and a clue intead. Or better yet, focus that energy that you've put into looting into finding away out of the city instead! I understand, maybe it's things they've never had before....maybe now is their chance for riches and a big TV and nice clothes, but realistically, if they don't wake up, they're not gonna be alive to enjoy these items for very long. A thumbs down to the government. As Michael Moore said, the storm hit us here in South Florida on Thursday, August 24th. It was THEN projected to make landfall in the Gulf. How come you didn't send help or start organizing it back then?!? Why the heck is the president just showing up NOW a week later? Why is South Florida not getting help on a hurricane that ACTUALLY hit us, yet when Jean landed in Palm Beach, y'all gave aid to a county 100 miles south of there which had virtually NO DAMAGE?!?! Let's look at it....carry the two.....divide by 3.....nope, sorry, still doesn't add up. Thumbs down to the gas people who are gauging the country. I understand that the prices are up because the refineries are damaged and all that...but how in the world could you NOT plan for this? C'mon America....especially the government. This "end of the world" scenario has been a summer blockbuster in every movie theatre for as long as I can remember. Can you honestly tell me that no one has walked out of that movie and gone, "geeee....what if that REALLY happens? Are we ready for this?" In the wake of the Tsunami in Asia, did anyone think to plan REALISTICALLY for such devestation in the U.S.? Are we actually so blinded by rose colored glasses that we believe our country to be immortal? I can honestly say that I am ashamed to be an American today. My heart goes out to the innocents in the Gulf Coast, and for the people who aren't helping, planning on helping, or at least concerned in SOME form....shame on you. post comment

For my sissy... [13 Aug 2005|02:54pm] I found this....it really says everything that means anything to me... My sister is my heart. She opens doors to rooms I never knew were there, Breaks through walls I don't recall building. She lights my darkest corners With the sparkle in her eyes. My sister is my soul. She inspires my wearied spirit To fly on wings of angels But while I hold her hand My feet never leave the ground. She stills my deepest fears With the wisdom of her song. My sister is my past. She writes my history In her eyes I recognize myself, Memories only we can share. She remembers, she forgives She accepts me as I am With tender understanding. My sister is my future. She lives within my dreams She sees my undiscovered secrets, Believes in me as I stumble She walks in step beside me, Her love lighting my way. My sister is my strength She hears the whispered prayers That I cannot speak She helps me find my smile, Freely giving hers away She catches my tears In her gentle hands. My sister is like no one else She's my most treasured friend Filling up the empty spaces Healing broken places She is my rock, my inspiration. Though impossible to define, In a word, she is...my sister. post comment

What a bummer... [21 Jul 2005|12:29pm] [ mood | crappy ] Well, I have this really gravy job. I sit at my desk, chill out, do what I'd like, I get to hang out with Ellie, take lunch when I'd like...stuff like that. I'm on hourly so I don't have the comission stress, so that's awesome. I get a quiet little office (think: tall cubicle on the end of the floor) to push around my papers and update my LJ while listening to CD's, lol.... But then I get to call people and tell them they didn't pass their background check, and I can't let them come back to work. ::sniffle:: they cry, I feel like an ass, and then I go on and turn my CD's back up, fade back into my own little world, and push around some more papers. (With the occasional "what's up Miss Chris" from Imad and "C.C!! What's happenin'?" from Carlos) Oh well....::fading out, turning up "The Game":: Till next time...drive fast and tailgate. Oh, and be safe. post comment

[15 Jul 2005|08:04am] [ mood | contemplative ] Top #10 Thoughts for 2005 # 10 Life is sexually transmitted. # 9 Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. # 8 Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection... ...make him a sandwich! # 7 Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet... ...and they won't bother you for weeks. # 6 Some people are like a Slinky.....not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs. # 5 Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. # 4 All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. # 3 Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollarsand a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents? # 2 In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal. And the NUMBER ONE thought for 2005 (drum roll) We know exactly where one cow with mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America but we haven't got a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration. post comment

pretty cool... [27 Jun 2005|07:56am] [ mood | complacent ] You entered: 2/17/1981 You were born on a Tuesday under the astrological sign Aquarius. Your Life path number is 11. 11 The number 11 Life Path has the connotation of illumination describing its general focus. This is the number associated with spiritual awareness. As one of the two master numbers, the 11 yields understanding and knowledge beyond the grasp of others. The attitude toward life of those possessing this Life Path is somewhat extreme; extremely intuitive, avant-garde, idealistic, visionary, and cultured. These extremes make you an interesting, if unusual person, with much to offer society. The Life Path 11 person is deep-thinking, and you are no doubt interested in understanding many of life's mysteries and more intriguing facets. Your inventive mind and broad-minded views will permit you to succeed in life in any number of ventures. You can best serve society, however, in those endeavors utilizing your skills of counseling and guidance. Much of your idealism is people oriented and quite humanitarian in nature. You expect a great deal of yourself and of those to whom you are close. On the negative side, there is a lot of nervous tension associated with the 11 life path, and you can be a difficult person to deal with because of this. For this reason, relationships, at times, can be difficult. This is a Life Path that seems to feature broad mood swings between the elation and depression. You are likely to have trouble making decisions and getting your life in gear, so to speak. There is a tendency for the 11 to harbor feelings of uneasiness, and dissatisfaction with accomplishments and personal progress in life. Your grandiose schemes usually make sense, but you can get off the track and they can be very impractical. You have a very distinct side that lacks common sense, and you are quite often unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality. In this regard, you are perhaps more of a dreamer than a doer. When you do get on target, your ideas seem to have been inspired on high. Perhaps you are not a leader, but you are a visionary and a very talented idea person. The Julian calendar date of your birth is 2444652.5. The golden number for 1981 is 6. The epact number for 1981 is 24. The year 1981 was not a leap year. As of 6/27/2005 6:51:55 AM CDT You are 24 years old. You are 292 months old. You are 1,271 weeks old. You are 8,896 days old. You are 213,510 hours old. You are 12,810,651 minutes old. You are 768,639,115 seconds old. There are 235 days till your next birthday on which your cake will have 25 candles on it. Those 25 candles produce 25 BTU's, or 6,300 calories of heat (that's only 6.3000 food Calories!) . You can boil 2.86 US ounces of water with that many candles. Your birthstone is Amethyst The Mystical properties of Amethyst Amethyst is used to increase spiritually Some lists consider these stones to be your birthstone. (Birthstone lists come from Jewlers, Tibet, Ayurvedic Indian medicine, and other sources) Bloodstone, Onyx, Moonstone Your birth tree is Cedar, the Confidence Of rare beauty, knows how to adapt, likes luxury, of good health not in the least shy, tends to look down on others, self-confident, determined, impatient, wants to impress others, many talents, industrious, healthy, optimism, waiting for the one true love, able to make quick decisions.

[23 May 2005|04:01pm] [ mood | frustrated ] Thought on life...

Enjoy!!! [06 May 2005|02:24pm] [ mood | silly ] Mitch Hedberg Quotes I want to be a rebellious McDonald's owner. Cheeseburgers... NOPE... we got spaghetti! I want to get a job as someone who names kitchen appliances. Toaster, refridgerator, blender....all you do is say what the shiit does, and add "er". I wanna work for the Kitchen Appliance Naming Institute. Hey, what does that do? It keeps shiit fresh. Well that's a fresher....I'm going on break. I got to write these jokes. So, I sit at the hotel at night and I think of something that's funny. Or, If the pen is too far away, I have to convince myself that what I thought of wasn't funny. You know that Pepperidge Farm bread, that stuff is fancy. That stuff is wrapped twice. You open it, and then still ain't open. That's why I don't buy it, I don't need another step between me and toast. This product that was on TV was available for four easy payments of $19.95. I would like a product that was available for three easy payments and one complicated payment. We can't tell you which payment it is, but one of these payments is going to BE hard. You know when they have a fishing show on TV? They catch the fish and then let it go. They don't want to eat the fish, they just want to make it late for something. I would imagine if you could understand Morse Code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy. I don't wear a watch because I want my arms to weigh the same. So if somebody asks me what time it is, I have to tell them something that is going on. "What time is it, Mitch?" "Uh, that guy is eating a hamburger." "Shit, I had to be somewhere..." I went to the park and saw this kid flying a kite. The kid was really excited. I don't know why, that's what they're supposed to do. Now if he had had a chair on the other end of that string, I would have been impressed. At my hotel room, my friend came over and asked to use the phone. I said "Certainly." He said "Do I need to dial 9?" I say "Yeah. Especially if it's in the number. You can try four and five back to back real quick." I played golf... I did not get a hole in one, but I did hit a guy. That's way more satisfying... I saw a human pyramid once. It was totally unnecessary. This shirt is dry clean only. Which means... It's dirty. I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughtnut... I don't need a receipt for the doughnut. I give you money and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I can't imagine a scenario that I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut. To some skeptical friend, Don't even act like I didn't buy a doughnut, I've got the documentation right here... It's in my file at home. ...Under "D". My friend was walking down the street and he said, "I hear music." As if there is any other way of taking it in. I tried to taste it, but it did not work. I snake bite emergency kit is a body bag. Sometimes I wake up and I think I should start wearing a beret, but I don't do it though. One day I'm gonna though. You bet your ass, I will have a beret on. That's ridiculous, but it's true. I always fight with wearing a beret. A minibar is a machine that makes everything expensive. When I take something out of the minibar, I always fathom that I'll go and replace it before they check it off, but they make that stuff impossible to replace. I go to the store and ask, "Do you have coke in a glass harmonica? ...Do you have individually wrapped cashews?" I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it. It's hard to dance if you just your lost wallet. "Whoa! Where's my wallet? But, hey this song is funky..." It's very dangerous to wave to people you don't know because what if they don't have hands? They'll think you're cocky. Someone handed me a picture and said, "This is a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture of you is when you were younger. "...Here's a picture of me when I'm older." Where'd you get that camera man? If I was a locksmith, I'd be pimping that out man. I'll trade you a free key duplication for... That joke made me laugh before I could finish it, which is good, because it had no ending. I want to be a race car passenger: just a guy who bugs the driver. "Say man, can I turn on the radio? You should slow down. Why do we gotta keep going in circles? Can I put my feet out the window? Man, you really like Tide..." I wrote a letter to my dad - I wrote, "I really enjoy being here," but I accidentally wrote rarely instead of really. But I still wanted to use it so i crossed it out and wrote, "I rarely drive steamboats, dad - there's a lot of shit you don't know about me. Quit trying to act like I'm a steamboat operator." This letter took a harsh turn right away... I don't own a cell phone or a pager. I just hang around everyone I know, all the time. If someone needs to get ahold of me they just say, "Mitch," and I say, "what" and turn my head slightly... Alcoholism is a disease, but it's the only one you can get yelled at for having. Goddamn it Otto, you are an alcoholic. Goddamn it Otto, you have Lupis... one of those two doesn't sound right. I was at this casino minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, "You're gonna have to move, you're blocking a fire exit." As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammible and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit. I like cinnimon rolls, but I don't always have time to make a pan. That's why I wish they would sell cinnimon roll incense. After all I'd rather light a stick and have my roommate wake up with false hopes. People teach their dogs to sit, it's a trick. I've been sitting my whole life, and a dog has never looked at me as though he thought I was tricky. My friend said to me, "You know what I like? Mashed potatoes." I was like, "Dude, you have to give me time to guess. If you're going to quiz me you have to insert a pause." An escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. You would never see an "Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order" sign, just "Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience." I used to be a hot-tar roofer. Yeah, I remember that day... A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer. I think foosball is a combination of soccer and shishkabobs. That would be cool if you could eat a good food with a bad food and the good food would cover for the bad food when it got to your stomach. Like you could eat a carrot with an onion ring and they would travel down to your stomach, then they would get there, and the carrot would say, "It's cool, he's with me." If you had a friend who was a tightrope walker, and you were walking down a sidewalk, and he fell, that would be completely unacceptible... I know a lot about cars. I can look at a car's headlights and tell you exactly which way it's coming. I have a cheese-shredder at home, which is its positive name. They don't call it by its negative name, which is sponge-ruiner. Because I wanted to clean it, and now I have little bits of sponge that would melt easily over tortilla chips... If carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be messed-up. I bought a seven dollar pen because I always lose pens and I got sick of not caring. My sister wanted to be an actress, but she never made it. She does live in a trailer. She got half way. She's an actress, she just never gets called to the set. Every time I go and shave, I assume there is somebody else on the planet shaving as well, so I say, "I'm gonna go shave too." Why are there no during pictures. I have an underwater camera just in case I crash my car into a river, and at the last minute I see a photo opportunity of a fish that I have never seen. I had a velco wallet in a casino. That sound annoyed the hell out of me. Whenever I lost money, and I opened the wallet, it was like the sound of my addiction. Sometimes I fall asleep at night with my clothes on. I'm going to have all my clothes made out of blankets. I type a 101 words a minute. But it's in my own language. My apartment is infested with koala bears. It's the cutest infestation ever. Way better than cockroaches. When I turn on the light, a bunch of koala bears scatter, but I don't want them too. I'm like, "Hey... Hold on fellows... Let me hold one of you, and feed you a leaf." Koala bears are so cute, why do they have to be so far away from me. We need to ship a few over, so I can hold one, and pat it on its head. I wish I could play little league now. I'd be way better than before. I never joined the army because at ease was never that easy to me. Seemed rather uptight still. I don't relax by parting my legs slightly and putting my hands behind my back. That does not equal ease. At ease was not being in the military. I am at ease, bro, because I am not in the military. I had a bag of fritos, they were texas grilled fritos. These fritos had grill marks on them. They remind me of something, when we used to fire up the barbeque and throw down some fritos. I can still see my dad with the apron on, better flip that frito, dad, you know how I like mine. I opened-up a yogurt, underneath the lid it said, "Please try again." because they were having a contest that I was unaware of. I thought maybe I opened the yogurt wrong. ...Or maybe Yoplait was trying to inspire me... "Come on Mitchell, don't give up!" An inspirational message from your friends at Yoplait, fruit on the bottom, hope on top. The next time I move I hope I get a real easy phone number, something like 2222222. People will ask, "Mitch, how do I get a hold of you?" I'll say, "Just press two for a while, when I answer, you'll know that you've pressed two enough." My lucky number is 4 billion, that doesn't come in real handy when your gambling. I'm gonna need some more dice, 4 billion divided by 6, at least. A waffle is like a pancake with a syrup trap. You know they call corn-on-the-cob, "corn-on-the-cob", but that's how it comes out of the ground. They should just call it corn, and every other type of corn, corn-off-the-cob. It's not like if someone cut off my arm they would call it "Mitch", and then re-attached it, and call it "Mitch-all-together". I like buying snacks from a vending machine because food is better when it falls. Sometimes at the grocery, I'll drop a candy bar so that it will achieve its maximum flavor potential. On a traffic light yellow means yield, and green means go. On a banana, it's just the opposite, yellow means go ahead, green means stop, and red means, where'd you get that banana? My roommate says, "I'm going to take a shower and shave, does anyone need to use the bathroom?" It's like some weird quiz where he reveals the answer first. I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. There's a large out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. I wrote my friend a letter with a highlighting pen, but he could not read it, he thought I was trying to show him certain parts of a piece of paper. I use the word totally too much. I need to change it up and use a word that is different but has the same meaning. Mitch do you like submarine sandwhiches? All-encompassingly... I think pickles are cucumbers that sold out. They sold their soul to the devil, and the devil is dill... ...and then at the end of the letter I like to write "P.S. - this is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated. I got my hair highlighted, because I felt some strands were more important than others. The depressing thing about tennis is that no matter how good I get, I'll never be as good as a wall. My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana, I said "No, but I want a regular banana later, so, Yeah." post comment

It's been a while... [17 Apr 2005|09:05pm] [ mood | happy ] Ok, so I'm sorry I haven't updated in FOREVER. I've been pretty busy, and pretty much telling everyone who reads this what's going on in my life. Let's see if I can bring you up to date on everything... We got a new place. We sign the lease on it June 11th. I'm super excited!!! Everyone loves it, and it's going to be nice to have a GREAT place down here that we can all be proud of (just in time to hide out in it from hurricanes again!!! lol). It's closer to Rodd's family, and the apartment I've dreamed of since the first time I saw the location. Gated entrance, and not one of those phoney gated places..ACTUALLY gated and you have to buzz people in. Full olympic size pool, full gym, HUGE rooms, a great management, and a club house with pool tables. Along with a huge golf course to walk the dogs on and garaged parking for Blue and the bike. I can't wait!!! Let's see...what else....Ellie's flight is on her way to Panama City for her "business trip". She's got 2 weeks till no more phone relationships, and no more flying whenever she's got time off. She'll be here for good. She came down for the weekend...and although we didn't get a whole lot of time with her and I, it's ok. I'm ok with it, cause her and Rodd needed the time together more than anything. I have faith that our friendship doesn't need constant care, and I'm totally happy just having her around without having her just for me all the time. I know we'll have time once everything settles and it's not making up for weeks of relationship loneliness with a few days of cuddling. You gotta do what you gotta do. I still love you, and I understand. ::hugs:: Work is good...busy, and it has it's moments. But it's good. ::shrugs:: other than that, not a whole lot is going on. Just working out some stuff, but now that the hard stuff has calmed down, there's nothing to stress over, and I'm pretty much just soaking up this relaxing time for the moment. I'll post more when all hell breaks loose again, lol. Lubya all. post comment

[15 Mar 2005|06:51pm] [ mood | accomplished ] I found this post while digging for a quote, and it just sounds sooo right. Like I would have written it myself, just remember that this goes for cars, too! Read on, and please drag through... “We have become part of something much more complicated than you or I will ever fully comprehend. We build more than just trucks… We build friendships, we build futures, we build our dreams. We drive our trucks low and hold our heads high because we have an unwritten and unspoken agreement that we will live life to the fullest and never fall victim to ‘THE NORM.’ Others laugh at us when we spend hours on end working on our trucks; yet shake our hands when we are done.” – Wyatt Strange I would like to tell you that there much is more to being a minitrucker than just low and slow trucks. There is hours spent in the garage, there is pride in our creations, and there is companionship in people. In this life style, we are each other’s competition at the shows, but each others mentor in the times in between. I will Help you finish your truck the night before a show, just to compete against it the next day. And all to be expected in return for this time and effort, is the friendship the scene will bring. Many people say that our passion for low trucks is wrong; some of those are the police who regularly pulled me over when driving truck. But they don’t understand, we don’t hurt anybody, and we don’t burn anything down, all we do, is drive our trucks and show off our hard work. Myself and those like me are often ridiculed for our endless devotion to a scene which appears completely pointless to others. But its our lives, and we hold it at the highest esteem. When we go out to the strip, we’re not the ones who are racing, we don’t even speed, we cruise; nice and slow, nice and low. During the day we hold jobs, some at desks, some in the field; we are productive citizens, much like yourselves. But let it be known, that in a neighborhood where everyone is asleep, there is one crazed trucker in his garage firing up the power tools to have some late night fun. The neighbors say he is crazy, only because he would rather cut open a perfectly drivable vehicle, than go party the whole night away, and they’re right. My devotion to this scene moves beyond the garage time though, I will drive as many hours as necessary to go to a show for one weekend. A show which only lasts one day; but during that show, I am surrounded by other minitruckers, I am surrounded by other people who understand why primer is better than paint and why having a truck under fifty inches tall isn’t weird. I became part of this scene at a young age and got the pleasure of knowing that I got to be a minitrucker in high school. And not only was I a minitrucker in high school, I was the first one ever at that high school. I promised myself, on my first day as a minitrucker, that I would never be caught in ‘the norm’ again. I will always drive my truck in primer, I will always drag my truck and throw spark trails on the freeway, I will always want my truck lower, and I will spend countless hours learning how to do so, learning from other people just like me, all across the country. Our trucks are like people, some are loud and the center of attention, and some are in primer, in the back, quietly waiting for their day. post comment

YOWWWWWWWCH!!!! lol. [13 Mar 2005|07:40pm] [ mood | exhausted ] Ok, so here's how my weekend went.... Friday night I went to what can now me called as "mullet madness" at some dive karaoke bar in Margate for Jenny's birthday. lol. It was her 21st and holding ;) and we all got together to celebrate. I got to be the d.d. and as I told Jenny, "I didn't get cha' much for your birthday, so making sure you live past tonight will be my present to you." Of course, that meant no karaoke for me, and Casey took all of my shots that got passed around the table. lol. I drove the Sequioa, and Steve and Jenny both agreed that I look pretty damn good driving that beast (hint to them: I'd really love something BIG for Christmas...possibly WHITE...and used doesn't bother me!!! ::wink, wink, nudge nudge::) heheh. Well, we went to the karaoke bar, and the guys and I ducked out for a bite to eat at Taco Bell and came back just in time to hear Mike and Jenny's sister's version of Love Shack...between laughing at them, and Becky and I laughing every time she looked at my face of fear at the thought of being the next name called (She'd look at me, crack up, I'd look at her cracking up and crack up myself) I think I haven't laughed that hard since Ellie was down here last time!!! (note to my sis: it wasn't the same without you though...I kept catching Rodd missing you when they sang a sappy song like Lonestar's "amazed", and I kept thinking, "OMG, Ellie'd do this or that in this situation, I have to tell her about this later!") Well, after a while of listening to a BAD rendition of Johnny Cash, and a few other songs, we all decided to move it along to our next club of choice. It was a little bar/pool hall/dance club that everyone wanted to go to, so away we went!!! When we got there, the crew all hit the dance floor and got down, and OMG!!! They had so much fun!!! I just kinda sat back, took it all in, and enjoyed the moment with my good 'ol Roy Rogers from the bartender for being the d.d. of the evening. lol. After a while things got a little much, so we called it an evening after making sure that none of the birthday partiers would be driving till morning and a cab was on the way. It was definitly a blast though, and oh yeah...HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNY!!!!!!! HOPE IT WAS A BLAST!!!!! Saturday was a pretty mellow day. Both the guys worked all day, so I just chilled at the house and enjoyed some quiet time to myself. Did laundry, stayed out of the sun cause I knew I'd be in the sun all day today, and just hung out. Casey got home at 6, and we headed out to the beach since it was spring break weekend. We got dinner down there, cause I was looking forward to trying something new for a change. I have a new goal too. By the end of summer, I plan on having tried every CLEAN looking restaurant on the Ft. Lauderdale strip. lol. I want to experience new things....so this is a start. Even if it's drinks and appetizers, or desserts, or anything...just so I know what's in there. We started with the swing restaurant on the end last night. My recommendations are that it's an excellent place, reasonably priced, and the BEST cheesesteak EVER!!!! I haven't had one that good since I was in New England!!! After dinner Casey and I walked down the beach, talking about the future and things like that...it was pretty nice, and we walked back to the car and called it a night. This morning we got up and headed out to Miami-Homestead speedway for autocross and had a blast!!! Joel was racing, so we hung out in the chairs with Nicole and just enjoyed the sun. It was so nice...the breeze, the warm sun, the comfy chairs...and yeah...I fell asleep. lol. oooops! So yeah, I'm a little sunburnt now, with some BAD ASS raccoon eyes!!! lol. But it's ok, I had fun, learned a big lesson about "REAPPLY LOTION" on sunblock (I still swear to you I didn't know you had to REAPPLY), and I got to hang out with Joel and Nicole! But one thing about the sun is that it WIPES YOU OUT. So yes, it's 8:30, but I'm going to bed. I'm going to go in, cuddle up with Casey, and watch TV till we both pass out, so I'll talk at cha' later! ::hugs and kisses:: C post comment

My horoscope for today [13 Mar 2005|08:04am] I like this one. I'm posting it up so I can remember it later. Quickie: Live in the moment, but remember your future. A little preparation goes a long way. Overview: Family members and friends you think of as family will take on new, deeper worth to you over the next few days. So when they ask for your opinion, you should certainly give it. But cushioning the blow wouldn't hurt. post comment

My senior class song [25 Feb 2005|01:47pm] [ mood | optimistic ] Listen, I don't care who reads this, and if all you see are goofy sappy little poems oh well. This means a lot, means even more today, and I remembered it thinking back 5 years (mostly cause they're playing oldies on the radio today, so it was either this or "thank you for being a friend" from the Golden Girls!!!) heheh. I think it's suitable, given this morning's conversations, and as a side note to someone special...a promise made will be kept. Lubya!!! What would you think if I sang out of tune, Would you stand up and walk out on me. Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song, And I'll try not to sing out of key. I get by with a little help from my friends, I get by with a little help from my friends, Going to try with a little help from my friends. What do I do when my love is away. (Does it worry you to be alone) How do I feel by the end of the day (Are you sad because you're on your own) No I get by with a little help from my friends, Do you need anybody, I need somebody to love. Could it be anybody I want somebody to love. Would you believe in a love at first sight, Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time. What do you see when you turn out the light, I can't tell you, but I know it's mine. Oh I get by with a little help from my friends, Do you need anybody, I just need somebody to love, Could it be anybody, I want somebody to love. I get by with a little help from my friends, Yes I get by with a little help from my friends, With a little help from my friends. post comment

Way back When..... [22 Feb 2005|08:30am] [ mood | thoughtful ] Close your eyes...And go back... Before the Internet or the MAC Before semi automatics and crack Before SEGA or Super Nintendo... Way back... I'm talkin' bout hide and go seek at dusk. Red light, Green light. Playing kickball & dodgeball until your porch light came on. Mother May I? Red Rover Hula Hoops Running through the sprinkler Happy Meals Wait... Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons Fat Albert, Road Runner, Smurfs, Picture Pages, G-Force & He-Man Wonder Woman & Super Man Underoos Playing Dukes of Hazard Catchin' lightning bugs in a jar Christmas morning... Your first day of school Bedtime Prayers and Goodnight Kisses Climbing trees Getting an Ice Cream off the Ice Cream Truck A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers Jumpin' down the steps Jumpin' on the bed Pillow fights Runnin' till you were out of breath Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt Being tired from playin' Your first crush... Rainy days at school meant playing "Heads up 7UP" in the classroom Remember that? I'm not finished yet... Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school Class Field Trips When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there. When a quarter seemed like a fair allowance, and another quarter a Miracle. When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to carry Groceries, and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it. When your parents took you to McDonalds and you were so cool. When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home. Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn't because of drive by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! And some of us are still afraid of em! Didn't that feel good, just to go back and say, "Yeah, I remember that!" I want to go back to the time when... Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo" Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!""Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest. Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "monopoly" Catching fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends. Being old, referred to anyone over 20. The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties. Nobody was prettier than Mom Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the amusement park. Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true. Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare" Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles. The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team. Water balloons were the ultimate, ultimate weapon. Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest protectors. If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!! 4 comments|post comment
