I felt like getting some Pixies music, so I did.  I’ve been in a weird mood lately.  There’s been some weird music I’ve been wanting to get.  Like ‘Fernando’ by ABBA and ‘Bad Blood’ by Neil Sedaka.  Yeah, I know that they were both on episodes of “That ’70s Show” but for some reason they just clicked with me.  I have no idea.  The Pixies song ‘Where is My Mind?’ was bugging me for a while as I couldn’t figure for the life of me what movie that was from.  I just found out that it was the end of Fight Club.  Yeah, some of you probably knew that, but I don’t care, I can’t seem to remember a movie a particular song is from most of the time.  Man, I don’t even know why I’m even updating.  I guess I just got the update-my-blog itch.  I guess it’s what I do.  Man, I’m just sitting here watching TV now and then and then typing a little more.

Man… the more I read people’s blogs, the more I get fucking pissed.  I spend the fucking time to read other people’s problems and shit, but how many people read my shit and comment?  Like four on a semi-regular basis.  How many do I read?  Around 12.  Do most of those people comment on my shit?  NOOOO.  Argh, sometimes it makes me mad to see people complain about how they don’t have anyone to talk to.  WTF?!?!  I’m online or near my fancy new phone ALL THE FUCKING TIME!!!  I always like to hear from people and have me give them my opinions on shit.  It’s what I’m good at.  Man, I need a damn job so I can get money and buy shit to start an honest to god filmmaking career.  I’ll actually be a freelance filmmaker then.  It annoys me that I can’t find my copy of Avid Xpress DV, I know it’s somewhere.  Maybe I’ll have to get Lexy to dig through her grandma’s closet and see if she can spot.  Man, I can’t concentrate while listening to this supersweet music and watching TV.  I’ve done my bitching for tonight.  Maybe I’ll continue it later.

This weekend was pretty good.  Friday was fairly uneventful, but still fun.  I got into Jeff City with John around 9pm and hit the Steak n’ Shake.  I was meeting an old friend, Dalenna, there and we sat around and had a nice couple hour chat.  It didn’t seem like it’d been two years since we’d last seen each other, but as I thought about it, it seemed right.  Nothing really all that great to speak of, there were some serious conversations and some not-so serious conversations.  It was fun.  Oh, and if Alice reads this, Dalenna says hello.  After Steak n’ Shake, I left there feeling somewhat of less of a friend with Dalenna than when I arrived.  Oh well, sometimes friendships fade and you can’t do anything about it.  John and I then hung out at his dad’s house for a while before sleeping.  The next morning, Saturday, I hung out with John, Nate, their dad, and some guy named Thomas as they played a round of golf.  I drove John’s golf cart, but didn’t play.  Since there were no left-handed clubs available, it’s kinda pointless for me to attempt a round of golf.  So I spent the next six hours ( a REALLY long game of golf) sitting in a golf cart.  It was more fun than it sounds, I swear.  Golf carts are fun.  After golf, John and I hung out at his dad’s house and watched some TV.  We then went to La Bamba at 7pm and got a table immediately.  It was kinda crazy.  We then tried to go play some snooker at Mike’s Corner Pocket, but there is no snooker table in Jeff City anymore.  Mike’s remodeled and got rid of their snooker table and Spectator’s got rid of their a long time ago apparently and now has a dress code I hear.  So, we had to go to Columbia for a snooker table… so that’s what we did.  We hung out, got Steve, and headed to Columbia.  The first place we went to, Booche’s, was really cool.  It reminded me of an English pub that had snooker tables.  They closed at 11pm, but it was worth the experience.  We then wondered around everywhere trying to find Willie’s Pub and Pool until we actually found it.  There we discovered it did not feel like a pub and did have an American size snooker table, while Booche’s had a proper European size.  It was still fun to play as much snooker as we did and John and I decided we were gonna try to find a snooker table in Warrensburg so we can practice.  After the snooker, we went back to JC and hung out at SnS for a while until Steve went home and John and I went to his place to sleep.  Sunday we woke up, got ahold of Steve, and went shooting at a range in Russelville.  It was pretty crowded so we shot on the 100yd range.  I actually shot the best with 8 of 35 shots actually hitting a 8.5″x11″ piece of paper from my Mauser Karabiner 98k.  John’s dad hit thrice with his Italian Carcano, John hit his once with his Garand, and Steve a nil with his M44 Mosin Nagant carbine.  I was pretty pleased even though we all missed a lot.  We then hung out at John’s dad’s house for a while just chillin’.  Eventually Adam came over and he hung out with us until he had to leave.  Steve left fairly shortly thereafter and John and I left for Warrensburg after watching a neat show about secret German WWII weapons.  John and I have some pretty interesting conversations on the drive between Warrensburg and Jeff City.  I really like things like that.  Well, that was my weekend.  I thought it was fun.

So I’m back from a weekend at Rolla.  It was a lot of fun hanging out with Tim, Mike, John and Steve.  I didn’t get as drunk as I would have liked.  I was planning on being drunk pretty much the whole weekend, but it didn’t turn out that way.  It’s ok though.  Friday, we met Tim at the hotel room and then travelled to Mike’s dorm room where I decided that Mike’s new roommate is a lemon.  I wanted to destroy his posessions for what he did to my side of the room.  Thankfully, I didn’t meet the new roommate.  Well, Mike took us to a hangout he frequents called The Swamp.  It was just a bunch of guys who live in the same house, but it was still fun.  We sat around chit-chatting and eventually drinking a bit.  I took a shot of Jet Fuel which is half shot of everclear and a half shot of peppermint schnapps.  It’s better than it sounds, I swear.  Then, Mike and I made Steve a drink that consisted of vodka, raspberry schnapps, triple sec, and lemon-lime soda.  It actually tasted pretty good and got Steve wastes after half a cup.  I made a vodka, creme de menthe, Coke, raspberry schnapps, and a dash of Mountain Dew.  It was also pretty darn good.  We hung around for a while and then went to Steak ‘n Shake for some terrible service and some food.  I got kinda sick because I forgot that hard alcohol and grease don’t mix in my stomach.  Saturday, we got up too damn early (10am) while John, Tim, and I waited for Steve to awaken.  We went out for food like three times.  Once to the free continental breakfast that was ok, then to a gas station for John, and McDonald’s for Steve.  I got something small at both of the last two, but I didn’t eat again until around 9 or 10pm that night, so I think that’s ok.  Tim went to hang out with some of his friends pretty much all of Saturday, but that was cool because we hung out with Mike for the entirety of the day.  We played some pool, which apparently Steve is a fucking beast at 9-Ball, and then Lord of the Rings Risk.  The Risk was ok, but I didn’t really care all that much for it as I suck at rolling dice.  We went to Denny’s and ran into Tim while we were there.  After, we went to the hotel room, drank some ameretto sours and pretty much called it a night.  We got up this morning, said our goodbyes to Tim, promised we’d come up to Milwaukee during the summer sometime, and came back to Warrensburg.  There, I met Adam’s new girlfriend, Sarah.  I don’t really think here or there of her, she didn’t really make a noticable impression on me.  All I know is that if I find out that Adam has sex in this apartment with her, he is getting a boot to the ass.  Like literally, I will get a pair of boots and kick him squa’ in the anus.  I put up with that shit from Jason, I won’t put up with it again.  Well, they left, I watched some “Black Books” recorded from BBC America.  It’s an awesome show you should check out sometime.  Then I watched an Eddie Izzard stand-up routine and, of course, found that quite hilarious.  Right now I am watching the new Sci-Fi series “Doctor Who” which of course is a remake of the original show I never watched.  So far, I am fairly amused and impressed with it.  It’s a good show you guys should check out sometime, as well.  Well, it appears the show is getting to a pretty important part, so I’m gonna let you guys go for now.

I got my new phone today.  It’s a smartphone that runs Windows Mobile.  I’ve been playing around with it for a while and I have determined that I LOVE it.  I can access the internet  through actual Wi-Fi, not the GPRS most other phones access the net with.  I can visit actual websites that people with regular phones can’t access.  Like, if you can visit the site on your computer, I can visit that same site on my phone.  That’s pretty sweet.  It is a pretty huge phone, but I don’t care, it’s still super sweet.  It’s super fancy and super new.  That’s what I’m all about.  Many of you may be like, “Hey, didn’t he just get the Black RAZR?”  My answer would be, “Yes, I did, but too many people have it now.”  I have to be the technological one, I have to have all the new stuff.  Don’t ask me why, it’s just so.  I guess I’m kinda neurotic like that.  Anyway, that’s all that I had to say for now.

Not a whole lot to report today.  We went to Jeff City to see Lexy’s mom about something I think you should talk to Lexy about as it’s not really my place.  We hung out with Adam and Steve for a while, Adam went with us to Lexy’s mom’s house for dinner.  There was some pretty good steak.  Overall, it was a pretty good day and I found out that the Boneless Buffalo Wings at Applebees makes a pretty darn good meal.

I got a new headset with mic because my old one I thought was giving me some feedback in TeamSpeak.  It was echoing, but this new headset which is one step above the old one I had and it seems like it’s working pretty darn well.  Too bad this is too late to finish OCS for World War II Online.  The class I was in ends tomorrow so I won’t be a High Command Officer.  Oh well, it’s not that important to me.  It was to John, but I just don’t care that much.  Well, at least I can get on to TeamSpeak and talk now without there being an echo after everything I say.  Well, I’m off to watch some more TV and then go to bed.  Maybe John and I will actually hang out tomorrow.  Check out my review of Saw II.
