Diversionary Tactics
Hey-
Yeah Yeah Yeah, so I haven't updated in a while...The Wrok Computer decided to freeze up, permanently, and we just got the replacement working a few days ago, so I haven't been able to update...So, with no further ado, my update...
Last weekend (12th and 13th) was great...Friday, my Dad and I went over to Tri-Cities for a funeral...Strangely enough, I didn't mourn much for my Great Grandmother, she has been barely alive the last year or so...She lived a great life, and was a really sweet lady...I'll miss getting the animal cookies and the little juice barrel bottles she'd give my brother and I when we'd visit...She gave them to us all the up until I was 16 or 17...She meant well, and I will always love her for that...She also enjoyed Wrestling a lot...I always thought that was incredibly cool...I mean really, how many 90+ year old ladies do you know that are into Wrestling on a hardcore basis? Very incredible, indeed...The funeral was short and sweet, and came with a bit of a shock to me...My mother's side of my family is Mormon...What the fuck?!?! It's not too amazing that I didn't know, being I rarely see, or in some cases, have only recently met, family from over there...It's always been limited to my Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts and Uncles, and a few cousins...Even out of those people, there's maybe 3 or 4 I'd like to associate with...Anyways, I digress...I was surprised to find out there's a strong line of Mormons on my mom's side,I think I may have scared a few of them...After the funeral, we went to a lunch-type thing over at my Grandma sister's (my great Aunt??) house, which was really nice, but I think they had a few too many prayers, in my opinion...Man, I am such a blasphemer...Heh Heh Heh...After lunch, and meeting a buncha family I never knew I had, we headed back to my Uncles' house...I dodged my Mom's requests to go out and 'have a few drinks' with her, as I really don't care to see her get drunk...So what did the rest of the family, including my Dad and I do? We went drinking! It was sooooo much fun drinking with my Dad (which I have never done, and I live with the guy), My Uncle and Aunt, and my Grandma (who I haven't seen in about 5 years, and I had missed a lot)...My Grandma and Uncle kick ass...It was just rad being able to drink with the two male role models I look up to the most, still to this day...My Uncles has always been one of my major role models, right up there with my father...Those two guys are pretty damn instrumental in me being who I am now...I rarely see my Uncle, but when I was younger, I followed him around endlessly...So, after an afternoon of us drinking (we headed down to a bar at 2 pm, earliest I ever been to one) at a hick 'older crowd' bar, I learned a few new sayings from my Uncle-
"Yeah, it rides nice, but when I drive it, I look like a Monkey trying to fuck a football."
-Uncle Rob describing how he's hunched over driving his wife's Kia Sephia
"So I went and "dropped kids off at the pool", and I had a thought while I was "doing the paperwork"..."
-Same guy talking about taking a dump and wiping afterwards...(Yes, gross to some, but I was laughing my ass off)
There we're others, but I can't remember them at the moment...We all came home finally, and being that I had been up for almost 48 hours with no sleep, I crashed at 6 pm...I was supposed to go hang out with a buncha friends that night in Kennewick, but I was dead to the world...The next morning, we had breakfast, and over a big lighthearted conversation on how I am a wuss for drinking hot chocolate (the shit's good, no?)and a subsequent conversation with my Grandma using the term "Cyanide Ass" (Yes, it's added into the lexicon of terms I use now), Dad and I drove back home...Got home around 4, and I took a nice nap...
Saturday night, Melanie and Ma-shizzle (Michelle) were in town from Hawaii...Melanie is an old high school friend of mine, prolly the closest thing I have to a sister...Michelle is her friend...They're both in the military...We all headed down to The J and M, over in Pioneer Square...The core group of guys that hang out on a semi-daily basis went; Messe, Jhama San, Kope, Lowtide, Kevin, and myself...(but no Fred, he was on a date that night)We met Melanie, Michelle, Janelle, Yvonne, and two other of Michelle's friends that I don't remember the names of...We drank a lot, I had about10 Jaegerbombs on an empty stomach, ran to the bathroom and lost said empty stomach...Felt great afterwards...Hell, I was drunk enough to actually fucking dance! Whoooooo boy...Anyways, I got some numbers, and really enjoyed myself...Around 1:30 am, we headed to Tiki Bob's for afterhours...It was dead in there, and after Kope payed me to do some stupid things in public (I was drunk and didn't give a fuck) we bounced out to Denny's...Some how our party inflated to 20 people or so, and we all sat there with little individual conversations...I kept cracking jokes and saying stupid/witty things (depends on the instance), and gnerally kept everyone at the end of my table laughing...Had a great time at Denny's also, incidentally...I ended up getting home at 5:00 am and sleeping solidly...
Sunday, Melanie's parents had a HUGE Lasagna dinner...Lowtide and I headed over there, as everyone else was working...I ate a buncha food, shot the shit with a buncha people, and then came home at about 9pm...Took a nap and then went to work...That weekend was a great weekend, I stayed busy, slept enough, and had a good times with people close to me...Great times, I tell ya...
I ended up taking Tuesday off, as everyone was supposedly heading out to a Karaoke bar...I was getting ready to get inebriated and sing my ass off to some Girth Brooks, but we ended up heading down to the Yardarm...We all sat around and reminisced about stuff in high school, and how much we missed all that stuff...Afterwards, it was IHOP time, where we all had a big discussion about Masturbation...How the fuck it came up, I don't know, as I usually keep that information guarded like a motherfucker...But as it stands, I found out more about Melanie, Jesse, John and Michelle than I had ever thought I'd know...Heh heh heh...The contents of that conversation still make me laugh...I remember saying something to the effect that I'd played with myself so much, my parents thought I was a monkey until I brought my first girl home at the age of 14...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Awwww man, I crack myself up...Of course, I am joking, that dubious honor was bestowed upon one of my friends, who will remain nameless...Jesse had even brought up how he caught his brother using a vacuum on himself...That elicited a shitload of laughs all the way around the table, good damn thing we were the only people at IHOP...So after some great conversation about some weird fucking subjects, including how John's love life stands, and how the girls at the table analyzed the fuck out of him, we all went home...Melanie and Michelle left the next day, and I was sad to see them go...The most important thing that came out of the conversation at IHOP; WE'RE (John, Jesse, and I, and we're bringing Fred this time, hopefully) GOING BACK TO HAWAII IN MAY!!! Well, supposedly...We'll see how the new year goes...
The rest of my week was pretty uneventful, I worked Friday evening due to taking Tuesday off...It was slow, thankfully...
On some other side notes;
MTV has a new show, the 'Battle for Ozzfest'...It's a show where 7 or 8 unknown and unsigned bands who got picked to try out for a slot on the 2005 Ozzfest tour, send one person to represent them and go on the road during the '04 Ozzfest...They hafta do all sorts of screwy things, like Laundry (Ozzy had thrown in fish heads and whatnot), biting fake bat heads off while being blindfolded and prompted by an S n' M mistress (They thought it was real, and all had wigged the fuck out) and shit like that...Well, they had eliminated the person I wanted to win the most, as his band sounded the best out of what I heard...Naturally, I'd be pissed, as there's this fucking retard wannabe 'Metalcore' guy named Ahmed (I think, at least, it starts with an 'A') who needs to be eliminated, as he wore the head roadie's vest and was mocking him and acting like a child...As a result of him doing that, He ended up pissing off Zakk Wylde (Ozzy's guitarist, and frontman of Black Label Society, to the unknowing), which isn't a wise thing to do, as that guy is fucking huge...This retard has gotten a golden fucking ticket, and despite him swearing he's 'Gonna do what it takes' and 'Never giving up', he's acting like a complete fucking dumbass...He has these weird ass mood swings, and I want him eliminated...His band's music sounds kinda like shit too, in my opinion...So back to the guy who got eliminated, I think his name was Jesse...He was eliminated for two reasons...He handed out a bunch of CD's to bands who were on the Ozzfest tour, which is bad, as Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are backing him up for the most part (I guess no harm in trying to cover all your bases, though), and He also impersonated A member of a band from Ozzfest while signing some girl's chest...Which band you ask? Slipknot. Fucking retard had that elimination coming, from that alone. Still, I liked him from the start, and I wanted him to win...Next episode is on Monday, and I hate to say it, I'm sorta hooked...Ohhh boy, 'reality' TV and the drama it creates...
As for another random thought, I posed a question to John and Jesse the other day...If Jesus was a person and existed today, do you think he'd have tattooed across his stomach in old english font "Son of God"? Or what about "He Died..." across his back? I think he would...I also think he'd be buff from being a carpenter, and he'd chill with the Mexican Vatos who have the Jesus decals on their back tinted car windows...Yeah, he'd definitely chill with them, I mean, who better than people who run around with your picture on their vehicle? Hmmmmm...That reminds me, I need followers...
I think a reason Corey Taylor from Slipknot is one of my favorite vocalists is that I can relate to his lyrics a lot...Another side note for you lucky readers... Heh Heh Heh...
Adult Swim's new show 'Super Milk Chan' is fucking goofy...Not sure if I like it or what...I mean, hell, it's directed by a japanese guy who names himself as "Spielberg Kurosawa", what the fuck...Very weird and Japanese...
Oh, this last weekend was fairly uneventful, drank and played Halo with the guys and Noel over in New Mexico...Good times, got home early in the morning...
Last side note...Life has been good, and I feel great about things, including myself...Sure, there could be change for the better, but I'm happy with shit currently...I feel great about myself, which is a refreshing change of pace...Yeah, I may be single, but I could change that if I wanted to...Everything I want is within my grasp, as long as I reach for it, so life is good...It could be waaaaaay worse...Speaking of good shit, I'm gonna satisfy my wanderlust starting next year, I'm driving down to New Mexico to drop Jesse off...I still wanna find someone to ride back with me though...That big trip back is gonna bug the hell out of me if I hafta ride alone...So, NM in late January (for a week and a half to two weeks), Then Hawaii in May, hopefully...And, I'm getting my new computer, finally, next Friday...YES!!! Ohhhh, speaking of YES!!!, December 21st- Napoleon Dynamite on DVD, and then Dec. 28th- Anchorman...Two of the funniest movies I have seen in a long ass time...I'ma huge Napoleon Dynamite fan...Good stuff...Oh, one last thing, I'm gonna go see Slipknot and Killswitch Engage in Vancouver BC on January the 16th! SWEEEEEEET!!! Now, just to find some fools to mob up there with me...
Anyways, this post is over, next one will be in about a week, on my new computer...So, more to come later...
Fuck Off: Friends making me needlessly wait, or that last Jaegerbomb that wouldn't stay down...
Awesome: Almost everything I had just posted...Boozing it up with friends and family that I highly respect, shit on DVD, new computer, feeling good about everything, reuniting Jesus with his Vato homeboys...
