Last night at work, my cell phone slipped out of my pocket after making a phone call on my break. I didn't realize it was missing until like 9 pm (15 min. before my shift was over). When I went back up to the break room to check, it was gone. I figured somebody must have turned it in somewhere, so I checked w/ like 2 managers. Lisa (assist. store director) told me she saw it laying on a table, so that meant somebody, took it off the couch and laid it there for me to find. What I think happened is somebody turned it into a manager that left before me, so its locked in their office right now.
Of course it's the end of the world to my parents. According to them, because remember they're psychic, is that somebody has stolen my phone, and is making very expensive international calls. I don't know about you, but I don't know many HEB employees that know anyone from China. I'm grounded until I find my phone.
This morning my dad made me go back to HEB before noon hit to look for it more. Still wasn't anywhere. But there are like 2 offices locked, and many managers that were there last night, but aren't today. This sucks...
But hey, at least I got to see the Village yesterday! I was reading some online reviews by a bunch of 12 year olds. They hated it! Thos bitches don't know a good movie when they see one. If you're going to see it, don't go to get scared b/c its barely even scary. Just a few jumpy scenes. The story is based 100% on characters and plot, not the creatures like the previews tell you. Can't say much more, just go see it! It's really well written! Laters...

Eat, Sleep, Work, Watch Movies...
I just saw one of the best M. Night Shyamalan movies EVER! The Village is beyond beyond beyond beyond what I could have imagined. I was pretty stoked to see this film, just b/c of Night's history of filmmaking, but my God! Everyone seriously has to see this movie. I can't explain too much w/ out giving anything away, so do me a favor, and go see it! G2G get ready for work...laters!

Single White Male...
One year, nineteen days, and 12 minutes. That's officially the longest relationship I've been in! Most people go into sudden depression, contemplate suicide, but I guess I was prepared, so no need to break out the razor blades and pills for now.
No, there wasn't cheating involved, neither of our parents discouraged the relationship, nobody lied to one another, we didn't sleep around (well, not too much)...we just have grown apart. College is coming soon, and both our interests have changed...some more obvious than others. It was bound to happen eventually, I guess it was just a race to see who would break up with the other first. Kathryn won!
Anway, its so cliche, but we're still cool. We'll pretty much have the same relationship, except we don't screw each other every night...jk. In the long run I think we've learned a lot from each other, and hopefully neither of us will regret anything in the past.
Now Mandy Moore and I have a chance!

When it rains, it pours...
Tonight I went to the John Mayer/Maroon 5 concert with Kathryn. It was amazing! The weather was a little warm and humid when we arrived, but eventually some clouds showed up and brought a cool breeze. Initially we sat in the yard, which was in the far back of the amphitheater, but we saw an employee of Verizon telling people that certain sections were open to us. Thankfully, we got some decent seats under the enormous canopy.
Unfortunately, as Maroon 5 played, it started to rain...and when it rains, it pours! My entire back was drenched. Kathryn brought her umbrella, so she wasn't as wet as me. The rain blew in underneath the canopy and the people who sat within the first 30 rows from the back were soaked by the end of Maroon 5's gig. At first I thought it was cool, but after awhile, it became extremely cold and I got a rowdy nipple hard on...jk.
The rain stopped by the time John Mayer came out. He was GREAT! One of the best concerts ever! I wish I was closer to the front though...damn. Anyway, I'm gonna go dl some music and shit...laters!

Deep Thoughts...
Deep Thoughts by: Jack Handy
Too bad you can't buy a voodoo globe so that you could make the earth spin real fast and freak everybody out.
I wish I had a Kryptonite cross, because then you could keep both Dracula AND Superman away.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.
I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they chose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas.
The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.
Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, can make a child look like a deer.
If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.
If you're robbing a bank and you're pants fall down, I think it's okay to laugh and to let the hostages laugh too, because, come on, life is funny.
Sometimes I think I'd be better off dead. No wait, not me...you.
If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.
If I had a nickname, I think I would want it to be "Prince of Weasels", because then I could go up and bite people and they would turn around and go, "What the-?" And then they would recognize me, and go, "Oh, it's you, the Prince of Weasels."

Lets Get Retarded!
Well, it's official. I'm a UTSA Roadrunner...does anybody have a gun I could shoot myself with? Well, maybe I'm too dramatic, it's not so bad.
I woke up at like 7am Tuesday not nervous at all for orientation...just exhausted from work the day before. I knew exactly where I was going, since my mother forced me to ride up the school to find the building we were supposed to meet in. I was all alone, since Alex found out the day before he had to attend a different orientation for CAP program kids.
I found a seat in the mini auditorium and ended up being crammed in between a wannabe abercrombie model, and a hoochie mama that smelled like onion and hairspray. But nonetheless, it wasn't as hellish as I thought it would be. Our orientation leaders were pretty cool. They were all juniors/seniors and were hilarious and did the typical skits reenacting peer pressure, sexual harassment, and drinking/drugs. It was then that I realized why UTSA isn't known for its school of the arts. But I was proud b/c apparently our group was the only group that didn't laugh outloud during the rape scene......I laughed on the inside.
I was dreading lunch since I didn't have anybody to sit with. There were other people that were alone too, who tried to look cool and independent, but you could tell they were shitting their pants. Luckily, the people I was next to in line struck up a conversation about how this whole thing reminded them of the first day of elementary school. I met Zach, Lisa, and Alina...so we sat together with two really nice girls from out of town. We spoke of jobs, majors, and different types of lettuce that we preffered.
Anyway, the rest of the day went by slower because it got more into the nitty gritty of college classes. I finished up orientation today, but they didn't login my transcripts yet, which affected some of my classes that I wanted...assholes. Sooo, I have to return before school starts to get my schedule straightened out.
You stay classy, San Diego!

Garden State of Mind...
It's been a while...Nothing new I guess...just seen a few movies, celebrated a year w/ Kathryn, still working, and found a new movie to get hyped about other than The Village...Garden State written, directed, and starring Zach Braff (NBC's Scrubs) Natalie Portman, Ian Holm, Peter Sarsgaard, Jean Smart, etc. It's about guy who lives in a anti-depressant comatose life who returns home to New Jersey for his mother's funeral after 9 years of being absent. He then meets new friends, rekindles old friendships, slowly becomes closer to his father, and falls in love. I remember seeing the trailer when I saw Eternal Sunshine, and thinking how cool it looked, and so I found the teaser and theatrical trailers online...they are amazing. You can check them out here:
http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/g/gardenstate.php
The song in the teaser trailer is called "Let Go" by Frou Frou...its pretty awesome.
Not exactly sure when it opens nationally, but it opens in NY/LA on July 28th. You can read Zach Braff's blog just for Garden State at this website...its hilarious:

"Am I Living it Right?"
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I been busy trying to figure out how to post my picture on my profile thing. After finally figuring out how, alls I have to do now is find a picture that wont appear so pixely.
I just got back from work today. I got off an hour early which was nice. We were pretty slow today. I suppose the sudden scattered shower caused some slow business. I got soaked in the parking lot. Not fun...although, it did make me laugh to see one of the key-checkers(people who boss us around) leave his car's top open, so all the rain drenched the inside of his car. He was pissed, and all the CSA's and checkers got a kick out of it...smarmy bastard.
My dad and I are home alone for the weekend. Kim, and my mom drove up to Dallas for Laura's wedding shower, and for more wedding shit. I can't wait! It'll be a nice break from work and sitting on my ass at home. Something to look forward too. I'm dreading the end of summer b/c all of my friends are gonna be gone...excpetions for a few though. That blows...
I saw Spiderman 2 two nights ago w/ Kristen and Alex. He just got back from Mexico, so we went out. Suprisingly, I really enjoyed it. Sometimes its good to go see some movies just to enjoy yourself, and forget about how cheesey they are sometimes...like Dawn of the Dead, Day After Tomorrow, etc. Spiderman had its corny moments, but it was a great movie. Last night was awesome. Alex, Kristen, Steph Lee, Alexis, Lisa, and I went to Sam's Burger Joint for Ska night. Mike's band (Johnny On the Spot) was there, and we got to see them. It was good times. As for tonight, I have no idea, but that's what my blog is for right? Laters for now...

"Aquariums make me, super horny..."
The cousins came in for 4th of July weekend, but I was at work as usual. For some reason, I'm only scheduled on the weekends. But hey, I'm not complaining about the week I get off to relax. Kathryn has been in Austin this past week for Orientation and to visit Taylor, but she's back now and we hung out last night. Our year anniversary is this Thursday, but she'll be gone once again in Dallas for Liz's tournament. Damn. I guess we'll celebrate when she gets back.
My 4th of July was decent. I went w/ Mike and Kristen to Scenic Loop to shoot some fireworks. They had bought some pretty impressive ones too. Afterwards we went to Sonic and swam at Kristen's pool. Last night was pretty uneventful. Kristen and I grabbed some dinner at Las Palapas, met Kato and Krista at Baskin Robins, and then went shopping at HEB at about 11.
Tonight is gonna suck. Krista and Curtis leave tomorrow for Baylor! We're gonna round up as many people as possible to throw them a going away thing. Maybe we'll eat at Olive Garden or something...mmmm.
Oh, if you're wondering about my title, its a quote from 50 First Dates. Well, I'm gonna go now and read or something...what's happened to me?! I read now...Laters.

Would you rather?
As I posted in a previous blog, I described a book I saw at Urban Outfitters in Austin, TX. I found a website of the same book w/ some excerpts:
Would You Rather?...
Be hole-punched to death?
or
Be eaten alive by the entire cast of Diff'rent Strokes?
Would You Rather?...
Appear as Yasir Arafat in the mirror?
or
Have a bizarre neurological condition where anytime you enter a room, Darth Vader's Theme sounds?
Would You Rather?...
Fight Mike Tyson?
or
Talk like him?
Would You Rather?...
Shave your mother's bikini line?
or
Shave your father's butt crack?
Would You Rather?...
Bite the head off a gopher?
or
Thoroughly lick a cat's ass?
Yea that's enough for now, I guess. I'm going to finish this blog with one final joke! Lucky you, right?!
An old woman is riding in an elevator in a very lavish New York City building when a young, beautiful woman gets into the elevator, smelling of expensive perfume. She turns to the old woman and says arrogantly, "Romance" by Ralph Lauren, $150 an ounce!"
Then another young and beautiful woman gets on the elevator, and also very arrogantly turns to the old woman saying, "Chanel No. 5, $200 an ounce!"
About three floors later, the old woman has reached her destination and is about to get off the elevator. Before she leaves, she looks both beautiful women in the eye, then bends over and farts and says, "Broccoli - 49 cents a pound.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!...And, Scene. Laters y'all.

Paralyzed
I have never been able to say that I can go to Schlitterbahn without anything terrible happening to me. I lost a bag there once w/ valuables in it, I got a terrible sunburn another time, I got lost another. But maybe this time, just once, I could go and nothing negative would happen. I made it through the entire 10 hours on Saturday without any mishaps...right? Hell no. I think I might have broken a world record for worst sunburn ever to strike mankind. My shoulders (the worst part) are covered with blisters that burn like a motherfunker. Fortunately, I went to the doctor today and got prescribed some sort of sterioid that will apparently rid of my inflamation. I spent my birthday sitting on my ass paralyzed in a recliner. Thanks Kristen, Krista, and Kato for calling me and wishing me happy b-day. Hopefully by like thursday I'll feel fine enough to actually move around my house.
Anyway, something interesting happened today. Kim went to Best Buy to get me some DVD's for my b-day and she ran into this grungy hard rock looking guy that sparked a conversation about movies she was buying like Donnie Darko. His name was Joey she said and he asked her if she lived here, and he said that he had just arrived here b/c he had a concert tonight at Verizon. She asked what band and he was like "Well, I'm John Mayer"...actually he didn't...wouldn't that be cool though? He was the drummer from Slipknot. Kinda weird I guess. She was bragging about it saying "I met a celebrity!", but I responded saying "If thats what you can actually call someone from slipknot". hehe.
Well, I'm gonna go sit on my ass and wait until dinner...laters.

"It was as if though this plan had been with him all his life..."
I went to Austin on Wednesday. We arrived around 5:30 or so, and went to this "really cool" park that Kathryn said was like Pedernales. Unfortunately, we had no swim suits and the waterfall area was all dried up. So we left to go shop at Urban Outfitters. That's a great store. We read this book they had there called "Would you rather..." and it had a bunch of scenarios that you had to choose between such as, "Would you rather have to take showers in a store's window display for the rest of your life, or would you rather masturbate in front of your 4th grade teacher." They were way funny. We then went to the Boatyard to sit on the back patio that views the water, but it was taken up by a huge party, so we ate at Hula Hut which was pretty good too.
This summer started off at a very slow pace, but things are starting to pick up and I'm having fun with my friends and Kathryn. Our year anniversary is coming soon on July 8th. Its already been a year! So many things have changed since last year, especially the people I know (or knew). But, change isn't always bad. I'm trying to milk every minute of summer before we all go off to school. Kristen made another to-do list for summer(she's borderline obsessive compulsive w/ to-do lists). Hopefully, we can complete that list before August. I'm also looking forward to Laura's wedding, and of course the bachelor party in Austin w/ Kevin. Holla (God, I'm white...) Anyway, laters for now...

Better Luck Tomorrow
What a strange past few days...On Saturday, I went up to HEB to "train" for the last time before I worked. This girl I knew, and I were drug around the store for an hour while one of the admin. talked about four hundred different things really quickly. It went through one ear, and out the other. We then went upstairs into this office and learned how to access our schedules on this computer. It didn't necessarily make me excited to see that I had to work from 1-9:30 the next day. I swear when I saw that I had to work an eight hour shift, I felt a turd pop out of my ass.
So, I woke up on Sunday supposed to feel "prepared" to work my first day at HEB. I showed up at one, and as soon as I stepped in the door I was shoved into a couple registars and forced to bag groceries flying at me at 100 mph. As soon as I got the hang of that, I was told to work the parking lot, which meant I pushed a bunch of baskets from the lot to the front. The highlight of my day was when I bagged a box of lubricating jelly for some dirty old couple...jk. Actually, Kristen, Alex, and Steph Lee showed up, but I had to carryout some groceries for some bitch before they got to me in the line. So, I met them outside and talked for about 3 seconds. Finally, I got off work, and met Alex, Kristen, and Steph at my house, got food, and went to Vineyard pool, and then scenic loop drive.
Yesterday I had to completely clean out everything in my pimp mobile, and wash it so we could trash it for some money. I bet they only offered like $15 for it.(POS) But after that, Kathryn, Kristen, Alex, and I went to Six Flags. It was pretty fun, although I thought I was going to die on the rattler of a heart attack. My chest was pounding against the seat SO hard and I couldn't breathe, and Kathryn was too busy to care as she yelled, "I SWALLOWED MY THROW-UP, I SWALLOWED MY THROW-UP!!" But we had a lot of fun nonetheless at TC's afterwards too.
Oh yea...today we were supposed to drive up to Austin (Kathryn, Alex, Kristen, and I), but of course its drizzling outside and my mom wouldn't let me go today. Perhaps I'll have better luck tomorrow...later.

"I have nothing to do, and I'm doing it tomorrow"
Last night I attended my orientation and sacking skills class for HEB. It lasted a total of four hours. Probably the longest four hours in my entire life. The majority of the time, I sat staring at the window wondering what would happen if I jumped out. I sat at a table with some different walks of life. I recognized two girls at my table from a previous meeting at HEB. One was about my age, and she wore a Sum-41 leather arm band, with her hair up and messy. I figured she thought she was "punk". For some reason, her grunge look didn't really match well w/ the bright red HEB polos, hehe. The other girl was 20 something. She liked to talk about how screwed up her life was. She must talk about her shitty life to gain attention. The only other guy at my table was a short, asian kid that whispered to himself the entire session. I wanted to jab a pen in my eye.
Anyway, orientation was pretty basic. We watched about 32 videos, which got old. Sacking skills class was a little more fun. We were sent to a room with about 6-7 checking registers in which we role played the customer, checker, and baggers. After sitting for 4 hours straight w/ out saying a word, I felt the sudden urge to scream the F-word in my car driving home, so I did. (my way of relieving stress other than taking a shit).
So now, I'm an official CSA at HEB. All I gotta do now is call up my admin. and let them know I'm ready to set up my schedule. Who knows when that will be...whenever I'm ready.
Oh, if you're wondering about my title, I was watching the fuzzy channell for HBO this morning, and some old lady on broadway had just retired from her last show saying, "Damn, I have nothing to do tomorrow. I can't remember who said this, but the saying goes, 'I have nothing to do, and I'm doing it tomorrow'." Eh, just reminded me of myself. That quote will stick w/ me awhile.
Ah yes, last thing (I swear). Just an update on movie's I've seen: Stepford Wives was decent. The cast saved the movie from some stupid scenes, but other than that it was pretty funny. Thats about it, folks. Later!

What's w/ these titles?
Two nights ago I went w/ Kristen and her little brother Adam to see the sneak preview of "The Notebook". Pretty decent! The chic from "The Hot Chick" and "Mean Girls" was the lead, and she popped out of nowhere and became a good actress. I was impressed. It's definitely a good date movie. Sorta predictable, but otherwise good.
On June 18th, this movie I've read a lot about for like a year is coming out called "Darkness" w/ Ana Paquinn. *Spelling?* It's another haunted house thriller, but looks REALLY awesome! You can look it up on UpcomingHorrorMovie.com and watch the preview. (Very creepy)
The other day at "Saved", I saw the preview for "Vanity Fair" w/ Reese Witherspoone, and the music in the background was familiar, and very cool. I looked it up and its by a group called E.S. Posthumus and the song is called "Nara"...you can listen to a little bit of it at cdbaby.com.
Anyway, last night Kathryn and I watched the Lakers game until 11 and went to Sonic for ice cream w/ Kristen. Yea, that's about it. Tonight I'll probably do something uneventful as usual. Until then, laters!

100 Times?
I woke up late this morning...well, noon is late for me. Everyone in my family is out shopping and I'm at home watching Donnie Darko for the 14th time. My goal is to watch that movie 100 times, just so I can tell everyone that I've seen a movie 100 times. Speaking of movies, I saw "Saved" last night. I read an article about it previously, and it gave great reviews, and also mentioned that it "didn't bash Christianity." That was a load! It was a decent movie, other than questionable acting, the whole Christian bashing thing, and an iffy script in some scenes. Seemed more like a typical teen comedy near the end also. But I would reccomend it to open-minded Christians. Tonight, I'm going to see "The Notebook" sneak peek...Wasn't my choice, but oh well.
Oh! Kathryn had told me earlier in the week that they were going to re-release Donnie Darko to theaters w/ better special effects, and music, etc. Turns out, they are (after seeing an ad in PREMIERE magazine). I looked up some info online, and apparently its only going to be playing in 10 cities nation wide. SUCK! Hopefully it'll be playing in Austin...then I could just drive up there to see it.
Anyway, I'm out of things to talk about now. Seeya...

Summer Days...
Last time you read my blog. I had just been ridiculed in front of my English 4 class after my teacher found my blog (long story) and read it line by line to the entire room. How humiliating? Next time I talk smack about teachers...it won't be on a computer.
Kathryn and I were driving home last night and she told me I should restart my blog b/c now I don't have any teachers to worry about finding it... I guess she's right. I've spent my summer staring at a television for countless hours every day. My job at HEB doesn't start anytime soon. I have a "sacking skills" class next week, and then my summer will probably pick up speed. I'll have a reason to wake up in the mornings. (That sounded suicidal..hehe)I'm starting out as a "CSA"...or customer service assistant, which is a flashy title for a bagger. I'm excited b/c Kimberly said she's gonna buy a huge case of maxi pads and make me bag them. haha!
Hmm...what else about my summer? Well, I can officially say I have a favorite movie! It's called Donnie Darko starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone, Drew Barrymore, Patrick Swayze, Noah Wyle, Mary McDonnel, Katharine Ross, Holmes Osborne, etc. Its about a teenaged boy who suffers from Paranoid Schizophrenia *spelling?* who has daylight hallucinations of a 6ft. bunny rabbit that predicts the world will end in 28 days. Sound crazy? I guess it is, but Richard Kelly (writer/director) pulls it off. Everyone needs to see this movie. It is hilarious, suspensful, heartbreaking, and...and, well you just HAVE to see it! I have seen it a total of 13 times exactly. Is that sad?
Anyway, other than watching Donnie Darko, and television, my summer has consisted of very rarely 'going out' (meaning sitting on my ass at somebody's house or at the movies). I bet you're jealous. Well, better wrap things up for today. I probably won't post everyday, b/c I always find myself typing out too many feelings and digging myself a grave to crawl out of. For now, laters!
