| | Jimmy Eat World - night drive | ] | today was the banquet up at the bowling alley, it was pretty cool at first, then jerry told me i might be getting something for overall improvement for these past 32 weeks. i started out with a 115 average, ending average a 160. before all 16 teams ate they gave out awards, like bobby kind got a high game award for his 279, then my name was called for 'most improved bowler'
 needless to say i was content about getting a sweet-ass trophy..to be honest its my first, besides DECA medals and whatnot. plus, our team placed second out of everyone so we ended up getting like a hundred bucks each, not too shabby.
on another note, im getting better at spraying. heres my latest creation, a decent stencil for a name over a little abstract spray...its nice.

| | Cursive - sierra | ] | it was the best bowling today and the longest. we bowled against tank and trent's team, then bowled against mike fitch's team.. all of us did fairly well, my high scores were 225 and a 205, but we had to bowl six games, instead of just three. lasted from like 6:30 to almost 11:30, ugh! but alas, was a good time. got my clear acrylic plugs in instead of the gay spikes i needed to gauge up, so there. |

felt like a bee-sting drug across my arm for six hours, ridiculous amounts of pain/squirming/anguish/whatnot. but now that its done with, i want more..heh |

| | Jon Bailey - wrong way | ] | last night i played a Wii for the first time. estimated time was about 7-8 hours worth. absolutely loved it. bowling/tennis/baseball, and that was all on a demo disk. i tip my hat to Nintendo for being revolutionary. i also snapped my board in half that same day trying that lipslide on my rail. heres all thats left of my baby:
 everything else is salvagable, so i guess ill just blow sixty bucks on a new deck...lame. but for good reason, perry told me he tried finding me after work and went past the skatepark, seeing some new stuff going in. i seen a kinked rail that had my name all over its ass. but for real, im going to have a needle in my arm in t-minus 6 hours or so. im so freaked about it, i have no idea why. oh well, it'll only hurt for a second, then the tetanis will sink in and make my arm dead for a day or two.
p.s. new music found, this guy that plays at R-Dub on weekends, his names Jon Bailey. great piano player for being 20. peep his shit, its tizzight, dog. |

| | Coldplay - warning sign | ] |
 today was an amazing day off. woke up rested, went to the skatepark and skated until bowling. there were a ton of really fake emo-wannabe-skateboard-punk-type people that stood around with their jet-black hair, eyeliner, band-shirt having get-up trying to fit in. i wanted to punch everyone one of them and call their mothers whores. just kidding. i did get to have a rousing game of whos the best skater here. this kid named justin paige, i think, was skating some choice lines. he threw in a lipslide on my rail so i decided what the hell, might as well try. landed it. landed the second attempt, content on learning that new slide. hour or so later i was on the quarter-pipe doing a frontside 5-0 stall. WHAT!?!? needless to say it was a good day at the park. went and bowled my average games, tired of it all really. then went back to the park with casie/josh around 9:30 PM, so no one was around. ended up finding a cellphone left there, took it and waited for someone to realize they lost it. josh and i went to Next Door and waited for them to show up and get it, they came, got it, left. job well done. |

| | Jimmy Eat World - if you dont | ] | day after skating, feeling the pains. the thumb part of my palm is entirely bruised, my right ankle is acting up like last summer when it was all purple..from skateboarding. its all worth it in the long run. money is tripping me out right now:
housing/dining contract for Ferris : $200 immunization shots : $151 first sitting for my half-sleeve : $150-ish
half a grand within a week or two...lovely. whatever though, its necessary.
tonight was perfect, how could i have anything bring me down?
i l__e you. :) |

| | Coldplay - dont panic | ] | day off. enjoyed for the most part. i woke up and got my car insurance paid off, then went and skated for pretty much the entire day. wrecked my right wrist 2wice, still pretty sore/bruised. had pizza hut with m'lady, then went and got my long hair hacked off. its nice to have someone who went to hair school as a friend, cause they hook.you.up. this is me embracing my last few moments with the mop:
 ive never had my hair cut this way, with a little more in the back and whatnot, but i love it.
p.s. half-sleeve tattoo due in April, friday the 13th to be exact. |

had 'the cookoff' at RWalk. Daigle won with his Peppadew Hallibut, lucky prick, im happy for him though. my southwest chicken panini wasnt good enough. ive been smoking a lot with JKV, but i need to cause my job blows nuts. i think about how much time i spend awake, then take away the time im at work,...the numbers are relatively close, and that scares me. work is my life. and i hate every hour of it. |

| | Ben Gibbard - debate exposes doubt (live) | ] | went to BR this past weekend, not really eventful. i did, however, go to DesiredSkin and talked to Chris about getting a half-sleeve on my left arm. i originally wanted something to do with fall, thinking about autumn leaves falling off my arm. chris took it to another level, adding depth to it. making a couple large, detailed leaves, then in the background an old-fashion hot air balloon being gusted by the draft, with little leaves circling around it. i think its a sweet concept, and im pretty damn excited to see his sketch. heres to that. |

| | Blue October - into the ocean | ] | i went to put a 12pack away in my trunk a night or two ago, and when i closed my trunk i noticed something on the fresh snowy pavement. a thong, red. weirded out i threw it in my trunk and called it a night. i woke up hung over wondering what the hell i did that for, drove home and threw it away, and washed my hands till they turned red. an hour goes, and sam calls me asking if i threw a thong in his car. so apparently we got 'thonged' that night, oh well...makes for an interesting day. |
