happy birthday dav

You boys seem to have really-long-post syndrome, which is certainly better than nothing. Have some chicken soup and drink plenty of fluids. And then butch up!

On to the real news. I have mentioned the book The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey on here before, because it is a damn fine novel. It’s a classic book no matter where you live, but it has an especially loyal following here in Utah since the majority of the story takes place here.
There was a “presentation” held in Salt Lake about two years ago, at which several writers, nature photographers and environmentalist talked about some of the (then)current issues. Woody Harrelson is an avid activist himself, and he made an appearence to talk at fairly great length at this presentation. It was a small audience, and luckily I was in it to hear what he, and everyone else, had to say. Near the end of Woody’s talk he revealed that he was planning on being Hayduke in the movie version of The Monkey Wrench Gang. Hayduke is more or less the main character in The M’W'G’. It was very cool and exciting news to hear that someone was planning on making a movie of that book, especially hearing it from someone like Woody Harrelson, saying that he was going to act in it. But like I said, that was 2 damn years ago, at least.
Every once in a blue moon I search about for new news about the movie, and I rarely find anything. But today I was searching about when I came upon this! Of course not much of that is set in stone, and I have read other places that it is questionable that they’ll have enough dough to pay for it, but hopes are still high.
And I realize that this may not interest all you punks to any great extent, so I found a way to tie it into something that you guys all seem to really like: Evil Dead! I found an interview with Bruce Campbell on gamesmania.com- I tried linking it but it didn’t work. Anyway, in it he is asked- If you could star in any book turned movie, what would it be? And he said (I’m writing this from memory), “First of all, I don’t like to play with any of those “what if” situations. That being said, I’d really like to be in ‘The Monkey Wrench Gang’”. That makes me even more hopeful. So you guys should read the book.
It just really sucks that this kind of thing hardly ever lives up to expectations. So I’m trying not to have any. Ta ta.

Hail Bluemax, I also felt like shit today…Head was throbbing, eyes were burning (which usually means I DO have a fever), and my throat was Sooo damn sore it was hard to swallow. But i did go to both of my classes today. I had a very uneventful day, I got up at 10:30 with a damn huge ass headache, and my throat was so sore argh, i was immediately pissed. I sat at the computer and started downloading episodes of X-Men and The Tick, and Army Of Darkness (to see if it really is cool). I then took a shower, hoping it would make me feel better…it didn’t. Then i went to my computer class, which i was hoping would let out early so i could go lay down a while before my next class…it didn’t. I got back checked on my downloads, and got pissed at my T3 which was running slower than fuck. I then went to my next class, English, got my paper back from last time, was pissed cuz i got a C- on it…never happend to me before, oh well. I was hoping to get out early in that class…we did, but not too early. As soon as I got back I turned the TV on and got in my bed, ate a few snacks…and went to sleep listening to MTV. I then wake up at around 6:30 to WHAT, UH, WHAT in the voice of DMX and i was OH HELL NO…i don’ t feel like hearing WHAT, UH, WHAT when i’m sick and trying to rest. Since i was up i thought i might as well stay up. My friend brandon came over to see if i was alright, and if i wanted to go eat, i said sure. Before we went to eat he gave me some Vitamin C and some cold medicine…he was also going to give me a thermomiter but he couldn’t find it…i said fuck it, and we went to dinner. I laughed because i was so fucking tired i left my keys in my dorm room, so i was like well fuck that too, i’ll wait till my roommate gets back. When we got back from dinner, i caught my roommate right before he was about to leave again, i got my keys and went over to brandons room, to play Bid For Power, cuz it wasn’t working right on my computer, then i started downloading some Quake 3 skins for him…got some pretty cool ones too. And as i sit here typing i still feel like shit, the medicine did help a bit…but YUCK i don’t feel good.

Enough whining about being sick…since no one REALLY told about the LAN party on Friday I thought I would take it upon myself to tell about it, since i was the life of the party

Well I got home from collage, and went to go take a dump. Ben comes over to pick me up and i was like hold on i gotta take a dump. he said ok, and that he has to get some ps2 games from home. I got done, and he came over and we put my computer in his car. we went over to scotts house. I walk in and there are about 7 people there already, and Scott is over against the wall throwing shit and cussing up a storm and punches and kicks lots of stuff, many a joke came from this later in the evening. He was mad. As if you couldn’t tell. Well i got my computer hooked up and stuff, but no one would hook me into the network, so i was like ok i’ll go play Dungeons & Dragons with all the cool people (see the picture BlueMax had as a link). It was fun, but then i got restless and wanted to play. So we all grabbed broken pool sticks and started attacking eachother with them. That was fun. I picked up a little stick and was attacking everyone with that, that was funny. Then we all piled up on Lasereth on the lawn mower while Thomas took the picture. The “cool” group went back to the game, and Lasereth just started walking around cuz we couldn’t get the network working right so he came over and started making a character, while he did this me and EBob wrestled, i kicked his ass…needless to say. Then we both had to piss…and we couldn’t use the bathroom, we had to go outside, well i went outside and walked right into a bunch of thistles…i got all cut up on my legs…that sucked. Well i got back and we went back to playing D&D and after me and Lasereth started digging around in scotts shit pile and we found a REALLY OLD RUSTY typewriter and i said it was a super-computer and that we should hook it up to the network, everyone started cracking up at this. We also found a broken bike in Scotts shit pile, it was missing a wheel and a tire, we found a tire and stuck it on…didn’t attach it, just let it rest in there…we went outside and took it up to the hill, at first we both tried to get on…i had to sit on the missing seat, that was true pain right there. After awhile of trying to get us both on there, Lasereth let me ride it, i guess he didn’t want to get hurt…i don’t hurt easy . Well i went down fine the first time, i was kinda disappointed. I then took it back up to the top, i loosened the tire a bit, because it had gotten stuck on the way down, i went down the hill again, with a push from BlueMax, i got to the bottom of the hill, and i floew over the handle bars…i was laughing just as hard as everyone else…man that was the funniest thing ever!!! Thomas had recorded the whole thing on the digital camera, and we watched it about 20 times, one of them is going to MPEG that and hopefully soon so i can show my friend here in college.
After that, it was quite uneventful…a bunch of the people left, EBob started going to sleep so i covered him up. Then everyone else started going to sleep…before we left; me, bluemax, and lasereth all made sure everyone was covered up cuz it was freezing there. and we all had sore throats that morning…well i think thats where my sickness originated. I believe thats all for now!!

Oh one more thing…i got pieces for my Harry Potter costume for the movie on the 16th…just have to make modifications to it!!! Ok thats all

I am trying to wade through the thick jungle of college applications. Last night I was working on my Georgia Tech application and it was starting to get a little late (around 1:30 or 2:00-ish) and next thing I know, it is 4:00 and I am waking up on the living room sofa. That weirded me out a little bit. But in any case, I need to finish the Ga Tech scholarship tonight. How fun.

I turn 18 tomorrow. At one point I had planned to have one huge ass deep introspective post for my 18th birthday, but a bout of laziness hit me and I changed my mind. But in any case, I’m procrastinating when I really don’t have time to do so.

42.

I woke up this morning, with a badass headache, my ears hurt, and my nose was stopped up. I had to shit really bad, so I made use of the toilet, then took a shower. I went downstairs, told my Dad I was sick, and then crawled up onto the living room couch. I just kinda sat there, because I felt so bad, if I moved, my whole body hurt. Anyway, I sit there till about 7:20, (that’s when I usually leave for school. I get there early so I can do my homework in the cafeteria.) My Dad walks in, and says, “You probably have bronchitis.” I rejoice. No school today! I shall sleep all day long. Then comes the ugly part: “But you are still going to school if you don’t have a temperature.” As usual, he hands me the thermometer, I take it, and the read-out is 97.8. BlueMax’ Law According to Thermometers: If you feel very bad, and don’t feel like going to school, and you take your temperature, it WILL be less than normal body temperature. The said statement only applies when your parent tells you you must have a high temperature. Anyway, I go upstairs, brush my teeth, feel like shit, and go to school. First period: I was a zombie. I couldn’t use Microsoft Publisher worth a shit because I couldn’t see straight. Shelby kept laughing at me, because I would make funny noises, like grunting noises, and then my head would fall onto the table with a “thump.” Second period: Chemistry. That class goes by so slow with OUT being sick. Imagine this…I nearly puked, and had my head down for most of the class period. Dav was in the class across the hall, and for some reason, (I know now why, but didn’t then), he sat down in the middle of the hallway. I would put down the money in the bank that at least 30 minutes had went by in Chemistry, only to discover 5 had went by. Finally, that class ended, and off to 3rd period. I was feeling terribly bad at this moment. I was pissed. I needed to be home. I contemplated just leaving school, and going to my grandma’s house, and falling asleep, not teling my Dad at all. But I would get in major trouble. I ask the Mrs. Atkins if she has any Tylenol, and she says she does, but she cant give it to me, “school rules.” She also comments that I can have some if I steal it off her desk while she made copies of our assignment in the teacher’s lounge. She leaves the classroom, I take the pills laid out on her desk, and go to the water fountain down the hall. I swallow the pills, and go back to class. (3rd period is a bullshit class, but that’s another post. Ask Dav about this one.) Time for lunch. I do not feel better. I feel worse. I fail to finish my food. That has never happened before at school. When I return to class, I start feeling better. Go Tylenol! By the end of 3rd period, I feel insanely better, and at the end of 4th period, I felt nearly sick-free. After school, after getting my check cashed, and getting gas with Ebob at the new gas station hooked onto McDonalds, I help my sister build a robot suit for Halloween. It was damn cold outside. My sickness started to return. I felt like shit. My symptoms were as bad as during school. So, I go into my dad’s shop, (we were building the suit behind the shop), and open up the first aid kit. Whaddya know? There was a medicine called “Synus Relief” or something like that. Hell yeah generic! Anyway, I take the pills, and right now, I feel pretty good. I slept from 5:45 till around 7:30. Then I attempted to eat supper, but failed again, and here I am posting on FOIL. Yep. The music video for Darude - Sandstorm is awesome by the way. Ask Matt. I really like that song. Very good song. I really like Chop Suey by System of a Down too. The DSL router/modem I have is weird. I really do think that sometimes the LED’s on the front of it blink to the mp3 I’m listening to. It’s really weird. I saw a major rice-rocket today when I was taking my sister to basket-ball practice. It was orange, with a decal going down the side. It had white racing rims, and Euro-Clear head/tail lights. There was a huge-ass spoiler on the back too. Not bad. My car looks pretty damn smooth when I wash it. I need to get that done. I took some pictures back around two months ago right after I did a “mega-wash.” The damn car looks brand-new. As soon as I get my car painted, I will wash it frequently. Lasereth doesn’t want to get it painted at all, because we can’t get it painted “all over.” Yes, I realize it would kick so much ass to get it painted all over, but it’s simply not worth it. If you want to know why it’s not worth it, Instant Message me, @ BlueMax786. I really don’t feel like explaining it now, but it centers around the job costing in the “thousands.” If I was just to get some badass flames on the front of the car, going down the side, it would cost a hell of a lot cheaper, and look good too. The flames would start off pearl white, then morph to yellow, then orange, and the orange would go down the side of the car. I saw a couple of cars in the newest “Motortrend Magazine” or whatever magazine I was looking in that had the paint job I am talking about. It was flames on top of a red car. It looked freakin’ awesome. For my birthday, I might get my car painted. Man, nothing, and I mean NOTHING, rivals the feeling you have when you pull up into school with a badass paintjob on your car. Classmates were talking about my old car for weeks. Some still do. “What happened to the badass pimpwagon?” Nobody has the money nor balls to get their car painted. The main surprise was that an Oldsmobile was custom painted. Yep, I drove an Oldsmobile. Now, my prediction is that no one will expect for a Volvo 940 to be custom painted. It would rock. I would park in my old parking place, the place where I parked for 2 years, so everyone can see my car from the cafeteria. It would be so awesome. Oh yeah, Dav, you were skeptical about the “Senior Tassle” that came with the Senior package we bought the other day. I stated that my subwoofahs would make the string on the tassle shake. You were doubtful. I am happy to announce that they shake horribly! Boo-yeah! Also, if you turn the base up loud, the China and glassware in the kitchen rattle. Hell yeah! Man, I sincerely hate school. School sucks ass. Why can’t there be like, no homework and no tests. Yeah, that sounds very amateur, but come on, school would rock (okay, maybe not rock, but be very bearable) if there were no homework or tests. I don’t want to worry about homework after school! In fact, I haven’t did my homework at home once this year. Hell, Dav hasn’t DID his homework once this year. I always do mine in the cafeteria before school starts, like previously stated. Ha! Me and Dav were talking about his earlier, the fact that only guys are in technology classes. We had one girl in our Structure Systems class last year. That was the first girl I think to be in a tech class at West Stokes. Anyway, on to the point, Me and Dav’s sophomore year we had Computer Programming. All guys…except, one girl. The weird thing is that his happened to be one of the hottest girls in the school. ????? Yeah, same here. I didn’t understand. Neither did she, lol. She didn’t get Programming at all. But it was still refreshing to know you had a hot girl in your 3rd period class, when only guys are usually in there. Well, I gotta go and do laundry, and then I will go to sleep maybe, and wake up at 6:05 in the morning, hitting myself for wasting the night away.
