JOYOUS PROCLAMATIONS OF AWESOMENESS!

well, it looks like i'll be getting the car that i put up in my last post. i took a ride in it today, and checked everything out. he did an awesome job on it. it's so clean. there's some interior work to be done, but mostly it's ready to rock. and boy does it ever ROCK!!!

it's incredible. you'll all have to be cool enough to ask me for rides this summer. and i'll have to be cool enough to give them freely. i'm gonna go through gas like water... ;)

i'm just so jazzed / stoked / wetting myself.

my poor baby
i've been so angry today, it's strange. i haven't been this angry in a long time. it worries me. i don't like being angry. well, that's not true. i don't like how much i like being angry. it's very empowering. i'm normally a good natured guy, so it freaks people out when they see me upset. because i'm either one extreme or the other. i go from 0 to furious in about 0.007 seconds ... but it usually takes quite a bit to get me to that point. at least, a lot more than it used to. the only thing is, i used to be a seventy pound weakling. i couldn't do much damage when i beat the hell out of things as a kid. NOW it's an entirely different story. sometimes i underestimate my own strength. i guess that's why i like to weightlift when i'm angry. i actually use 100% of my potential capacity that way.

the reasons i've gotten upset today. well, first it was calculus... the entire second half.

and now the car. it's very nearly dead. well, the engine is fine. and the rest would last me the summer. the brakes are very fixable for cheap and with a nominal amount of energy, could be done within a week, maybe even a weekend, if i pushed myself. but it's not worth transplanting a new tranny into. not even a used tranny. and it's getting to be not driveable, because the fluid is leaking onto the clutch plates, and i'm not getting enough friction. and there's still the issue of guiding the clutch cable through the firewall. that would be such a pain in the ass to fix properly, but i can't seem to come up with anything else that works at all. i thought when i had to give up my baby, i would be sad. but i'm not sad. i'm just pissed at it. for some reason i just expected it to puke on me one day. some part would just blow, and i would be forced to find something else, because it would be too costly and time consuming to replace. but no, it's just kinda slowly drifting away, in a very frustrating, smelly, leaky manner. and for some reason that bothers me. like i don't want to give it up, because there's still that chance. but i have to give it up... and soon.

which means i'm gonna have to steal the toyota for prom. which is not at all an appealing prospect. i could tolerate the stinking thing, if only the throttle wasn't so muddy. that just makes the whole driving experience a total nightmare. and it's just not cool. not that my car really is. but at least i like my car. i don't like the pickup at all; least of all, not well enough to delude myself into pretending it's cool.

well... i'm faced with a decision. a decision that requires me to borrow money either way i go with it...

source a cheap (yeah right $$$$) donor tranny, and a poor unfortunate soul (one who has tools) to help me install it.

-OR-

buy a newer used car. which may not even be a volkswagen... a very depressing prospect. if i sold my soul to the devil, i would get this one...

it's a 1984 GTI. it has a sports suspension, is ready to have a sound system installed, and has 200+ ponies under the hood. all for $3000. the guy is taking a huge loss on this (he has the receipts for 8 grand worth of parts). and i'm still too fucking poor...

i suppose i would need to get a job in order to remedy my indigence, eh?

shit fuckers...

i'm so tired anymore. i just have no drive. it pisses me off. then once i've vented, all i've managed to do is waste more time getting nothing done, and wind up more tired than i was in the first place. and that really pisses me off...

it's a vicious cycle.

just picked up suit. will now try on, to make sure it fits. i'll have to figure out what i'm wearing to interviews tomorrow. probably grey, witht the purple tie :)

also got the money for car insurance. i'm getting sick and goddamn tired of draining the steelcase account...

hopefully i won't be too poor to pay for prom stuff (dinner, gas, flowers, hookers, etc.)

i'm such a little bitch sometimes. but i had a nice talk with mrs. millard today so it all worked out. and maybe i can do some homework tonight, since i get to sleep in an extra half an hour tomorrow. well, i should probably get up at the normal time, just so i'll be ready.

GO! GO! GADGET: lethargy...

sandwich update ... egg food
i am having some trouble recollecting my previous food adventure specifically, so please forgive me. if you had seen as much as i have, you'd have trouble distinguishing between food adventures after awhile too...

well, my latest endeavour was one born out of necessity. after all, only the strong survive. apparently i'm strong. either that, or i'm morbidly obese (bmi = 31.5). anyway, after a long day of study at the local potato academy (high school), i went to my friend trevor's house for a game of "keep your eyes on the ginsu". most of me is still here, after 2 and a half arduous hours of dodging whirling blades. what parts of me that aren't here are not required for procreation, and have been donated to Charity (trevor's pet ferret). i never knew ferrets liked french fries. well, actually they're american fries. anyway...

i had to refuel my bushel of washers on my way home, which was a huge fiasco, and cost me the most money in the history of money i've spent on peanut oil.
....needless to say, i had to then go to the auto wash adjacent to the fuel distibution hub to get the mess cleaned up.

by the time that was finished, and i had returned home, i realized that i was famished. and as i looked for food, i realized that my cupboards were barren, because mom ... er, i mean... my roommate... had cleaned everything out in preparation for our relocation to something a little more suburban.

thinking on my feet, knowing that soon my feet would be out from under me if i didn't replenish my glucose, i took three eggs from a container that said "do not consume after April 21 under penalty of 'you die'." ... or something like that. i scrambled the raw eggs in a disposable plastic bowl with a salad fork, because everything else in the house was completely gone, put half a stick of butter in our lone frying pan, and once it had melted, poured the raw egg mixture into the pan (on medium heat), and covered the pan with a ceramic plate. then i praised my ingenuity. upon the conclusion of my egpcentric acclamations, i found a large bag of lunchlady cheese in the fridge, that i'm sure was too saturated with preservatives to ever spoil or mold, and something in the pantry that resembled a cinderblock composed of a starch-based material. the cinderblock came pre-sliced, so i retrieved 4 slices, and placed the remainder back in the pantry... not in the garbage, where it should have gone. once the egg/butter amalgamation solidified, i sprinkled some of the indelible (but not inedible) cheese on top, replaced the lid, and melted the cheese over low heat. once the cheese had melted, i cut the concoction in half, and placed each half on a slice of starchbread. i took the 2 remaining slices of starchbread and placed them both on one of the sandwiches, leaving the other openfaced. i poured myself a solo(tm) cup of milk, and placed it on the floor. then i sat on the floor indian style, with the plate of sandwiches on my lap (yes the same plate i used as a cover) and proceeded to ward off the dogs who were vying for the "food" i had made, even though i had fed them THEIR food, not ten minutes ago.

from there, it's pretty self-explanatory...

but i will say this:

... legend has it, that if you go there today, you can still hear his ghost in the dining room screaming "GAAAAAH, THE KNIVES IN MY TUMMY!!!!!" which is inevitably followed by a particularly excruciating bit of flatulence.

then i made my bed.

fried prom odyssey

got tickets. got gum. got picture frames. we have both been appropriately clad (meaning: we both got our dresses, handbags, earrings, purses, shoes, lederhosen, bill clinton masks, etc.).

dinner is to be at one trick pony or bluewater grill. i'm leading toward the pony, just because it's more unique, and i've actually been there before. i need to make some phone calls.

the rabbit has been cleansed, refilled, stroked, refilled elsewhere, and stroked elsewhere. it still needs to be filled everywhere else, emptied in a few places, vacuumed, and thoroughly wiped down.

brakes and transmission are issues i will conveniently overlook for the interim. or until i can't overlook them anymore.

OPEN HOUSE !!!

alright, here's the deal...

MOM'S

May 21 (yes, that soon, don't ask me why.)
in cedar springs, at my house. mapquest the address if you don't know it, or ask and i'll tell you.
217 East Beech, Cedar Springs, MI, 49319-9505

catering was supposed to be by maynards, but seeing that they're now defunct, i don't know. we have salted peanuts, and denise thoms will be making the cake (frosting to die for!!). should be afternoon time or so.

DAD'S

July 2 (yes, that late, because mom wanted to leave june open for hers)
at the community bldg in ferrand estates. directions to ferrand estates are as follows:

us 131 south (approx 20 miles), 44th st west (approx 3-4 miles). it's past byron center rd. on the left. if you hit ivanrest, you've gone too far. it's almost exactly halfway between them. nearby landmarks to look for are Damon's, on the south side of 44th, and ramblewood center on the north. once you're on the driveway, just go til you hit the stop sign. at the stop sign, there should be a building smack dab in front of you. circle around building in a clockwise direction, while looking for spot. park. enter building. have good time. leave.

catering provided by GFS, simmered in elbow grease for at least 10 minutes. let cool. serve. dessert likely by kathy (dad's mrs. to be) ... mmmm *drools.

....

if neither of those work for you, then, tough! i never liked you anyway...

if they do work for you, please tell me so, and also indicate which one you are coming to. this is so i can tell my folks how much cake to build, etc. and also to get a ballpark figure of how popular i am.

i honestly don't care which one you come to. i just want you guys to have a good time. if you're looking for alcohol, don't come within a hectare of my dad's, because there won't be any. honestly, mom probably won't either. so there. but lots and lots of soda, especially at dad's. and if you're looking to see me super stressed out ... then mom's is the place for you.

like i said, post a comment, or email me, or give me a slip of paper with your name on it, and say which one you're attending. just because i'm a bitch like that. (honestly, i need to know once and for all how AWESOMELY POPULAR i am!)

coming soon from a spud near you: "prom update" and "fried egg sandwich ... food odyssey?"

ode to joshy woshy

joshy woshy is so foxie
all the girls fall down
then with the lift from the corner of his lip
well present him with his crown
a crown of simple purity even though he can be quite a dick
it doesnt matter with joshy woshy cause no one will forget
that joshy woshy is a kooala bear and can love you when he wants
too bad right now im on the wrong side i do haunt.
angry joshy woshy is not fun to me
but knowing that one day he'll care
makes me yell yipeeeeeeeeee!

with lots of love joshy

really corny poem...sorry
if only he could realize how great we would be.
if only he would realize that person hes searching for is me
the one person who would do whatever for him is me
the one person that really cares about him is me
the one person that will wait for him is me
hoping one day he realizes the person hes waiting for is me.

when i want one the one that once was wants me
muskegon tom called me while i was at work last night about 10 pm and asked if i had any plans...i said why...he said im about two minutes away from your house.....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! i was supposed to go over to jasons and we were going to watch a movie. tom had even called my mom to make sure it was okay that he came over to surprise me....so i had to tell jason that i couldnt go there. i dont know he was fine about it and then asked me who this tom was. and then he said i was ditching him...again....although i really dont remember when else i did it. so tom and i hung out lastnight...i told him about jason. how i like him but how he just wants to be friends. i fell asleep and druled on his chest and snored really loud....lol.. him comming over just made me realize how much more i like jason. wow. i was so concerned.....about it. he called me around 12:30 and asked if tom was still there. he was. so i was talking to jason on the phone while sitting next to tom. jason knew he was right next to me and kept asking me if i wanted to make out with him....so tom would hear me say yes. in a way i felt as though jason was testing me....i dont know. so this mornign i went to jasons before school and we watched a movie together....yup and ....yup...still didnt work.....im getting hopeless. i like him sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo MUCH!

:: 2005 17 April :: 6.51pm

well, i went to jackie's today. that was fun. i'm sure it didn't seem like it by the way i was acting, but i really did have quite a good time. it was really refreshing to sit back and just do some of the simple stuff.

i need to do calculus and shit. but i'm sure i'll find something else to do.

yesterday i worked all day. then we took donny to dinner, and went to see sin city. jessica alba was the only redeeming factor in that movie for me. her story was the only one that i truly enjoyed. but even though i didn't enjoy it, i can still respect the phenomenal job they did in post-production. it was just incredible.

man, i'm totally beat.
