I love Jesse!

Is it a break, or procrastination?

I'm taking a break from the 4 paper I just wrote... My brain hurts. but not only from the papers. Probably also from the fact that last night I was really drunk. Really. So I get to deal with my hangover... which isn't that bad, it's just a headache.

Yesterday was Jesse's birthday, so he had his friends come over his house, and we all drank ourselves into oblivion. It was a lot of fun. We were drunk, some were stoned, and we were watching the Presidential Debate... or at least trying to. We're such party animals. Bobby brought White Castle, though, which was great. For some reason I decided that eating my White Castle burger box was a great idea. You know, fiber for the day. So, yeah, we tried to pay attention to politics, even though the only thing I got out of the whole debate was Sen. McCain comparing the height of Asians to the height of Americans, for some reason. We all thought that was funny. We watched the debate, and then put on The Yellow Submarine. Party Animals. Haha, that's okay, we had fun. I almost died laughing like, a hundred times. I woke up this morning, and I'm pretty sure I was still drunk. Walking was a difficult task. But I got lucky, I didn't have to vomit or anything. I did good. :D

I'm watching The Muppets Take Manhattan right now, it just took me the length of the movie, V for Vendetta to write 3 papers. I'm trying to get all of my homework done before tomorrow so I can just relax all day tomorrow. But since I'm taking a break right now, I don't know if I'll go back to doing homework because my brain hurts so bad. I don't know. I'm not interesting today. I blend in with today's weather... overcast, grey and blaaaand.

lol @ politics.

Today, I think was the second day of my life where I was attentively watching a news channel for longer than 3 seconds. I witnessed first hand a groundbreaking publicity stunt on the part of Sen. McCain. Or at least, everyone THINKS its a publicity stunt, including myself.

First this happened:


Then, this happened! [Like an hour later]:


And then, suprisingly, THIS happened!:


Then, lastly, this happened and made it all better:


I haven't watched this much news coverage since my 12th birthday. [9/11/01] So I wonder what will happen. Rumor has it, that this is going to seriously harm McCain's campaign. Especially the fact that he's keeping Palin away from the media or anything with a "record" button, for that matter. I guess she's dumb enough to foil his plans? I don't know. I heard also, today that McCain's pulling this crap because he doesn't have any more money for his campaign.

I also learned, that I cannot have an intellectual political conversation with my mother without any backup. Because as she's 48, and I'm 19, I obviously know NOTHING about politics WHATSOEVER. And thereby don't know who's better for this country that I fear so much is going to destroy the world if something doesn't change.

Last night on The Daily Show, magic was made:

Quickie.

I'm entirely behind the loop on the whole political shit that's been going on. I found out about the stock market like ... 3 days after the economy was almost destroyed.

I found out about the offshore drilling proposal [which is bullshit that's just going to prolong our problem and kill our animals!], just about yesterday which was six days later than most everything happened.

I found out about the SNL skit with Palin and Clinton far later than it had happened... crap I hate being out of the loop.

What I was shown when I was a kid:


That's only 1/3 of the episode.. but it's friggen EPISODE ONE OF CAPTAIN PLANET! Our government should watch it, maybe they'll grow some smarts.

There's a Rumbly in My Tumbly...

I'm so hungry right now... but there's nothing to eat here. :[

Moon is home for the weekend, so I got to hang out with her for most of the day yesterday, which made me so excited! We got bagels and went to the park and got chased by bees. Then we went over to Sean's house, and hung out over there for the majority of the day playing Rock Band 2. And we watched funny videos making fun of Palin, and stuff. It was a lot of fun. I'm excited to go to visit Moon upstate at her school. [And sit on the big green chair, duh.]

Yesterday my mom had the block BBQ. It was pretty awesome. It was fun to see everyone on the block together. We apparently got some new neighbors... they're really nice. One of them, Jackie, is a high school teacher and a swim coach. It was like seeing myself in the future... it was weird. I saw Courtney, and her foot after the surgery. Poor Courtney, she's been hobbling around for 3 weeks, and has at least 6 more to go.

Yesterday Jesse was recording for the whole day. They recorded one of the tracks for the album, and I listened to it and it sounded really good. He did a great job, and so did Erik on the tracking. So, I didn't see him until around 8:30 at night, which sucked. But it happens. I saw him after, and that's all that matters.

So now I'm here at my dad's, contemplating if I want to stay awake or go back to sleep. If I stay awake I've got to do my homework and such. If I go back to sleep, well... then I'm asleep. Oh the dilemmas of life!

Dad bought me my new comforter set yesterday. Now my room is almost complete! I just need to buy a pillow, and then I'll be ALMOST DONE! I need to still build/get a skateboard rack. I think building one would be more beneficial for me, rather than spending $40+ that I don't have. So I gotta get on that... I just have to figure out how... But after the skateboard rack is up, I'm done! :D My new room is friggen AWESOME. I want to see if I can get some Jim Henson Muppet posters/pictures or something... it'd be awesome to have that around my room. :D

Ughh.

I woke up early this morning to get in the shower for school. But I'm not going to class today. It's a double period of Astronomy, and I feel like crap. I figure I can do the lab and everything at home, in the comfort of my own bed.

I checked my paycheck, and it's crap this week... I was going to go to Waldenbooks and partake in the Buy 4, get 1 free sale... but I don't have the money to actually buy 4 comic books... uh, "GRAPHIC NOVELS"..yeah.

Last night, dad took me and Brian to dins. Before we left my mom decided it would be fun to talk politics with two members of the opposing view to hers. Dad and I schooled her to the point where she got frustrated and was like "UGHHH, ALRIGHT COURT!!! >:O" It was nice. [OBAMA!OBAMA!]

Jesse's teaching me how to play the drums, and so far I only have one beat somewhat down-pat. I like it, it's really fun, and helps my brain to multitask.

Del Mar's looking to play skateshops across the U.S.... I wonder if they'll want to play my imaginary skatepark that will be up in action in approximately 15 years? Maybe they'll wait for me.. Haha.

I'm going to take a stab at taking an oath to Surfrider Foundation to Rise Above Plastics. I was going to send them a check, but this week's paycheck is telling me that I need to keep my money... I'm poor. Anyway, I'm going to cut my plastic use by a lot. I already recycle plastic bags, and I haven't been really using plastic bottles. I have my Camelbak BPA FREE re-useable bottle for that. Plus, I recycle like a madwoman. Hell, I've even recycled my old Build-A-Bear boxes in making them my rabbit's hideaway room... She loves it! And I like to make a use out of an intended one-time-use item. :]

I think tonight I'm going to my dad's house? I don't know. My mom's having a BBQ tomorrow and she told me that we're not staying by dad's, we're staying here.... I'm confused.

Dad gave me part of my birthday gift last night... it was the picture I drew for my 5th grade school concert that made the cover of it, and he framed it so I could put it on my wall. It's crazy, I remember bringing home the concert "playbill"[?] and being so excited that my art made it to the cover. That I was that much better than everyone else. That I was actually a special kid. [No, not "get your helmet on!" special.] It's even crazier that I look at the date of that playbill thing, and it's dated back to 1999. 1999! Before the 2000 bug! Before Y2K! Before I started to enjoy English! Before I went to highschool! Before GRADUATING FIFTH GRADE!! [That was a big step...] Before 9-11. Before Bush?! See: things were good before the country started being greatly affected by that hillbilly. I mean, duh! My art was special back then... now everyone thinks it's "okay". Was 1999 before No Child Left Behind? Shit... I don't remember... how old was I when Brian should've gotten left back, and just went to summerschool instead... He was in 2nd grade... I was in 4th... so that was 1997-1998.. Okay, so maybe it wasn't before No Child Left Behind. But it was DEFINATELY before they added 500 new Pokemon to the original list of 150. Although, they did add Mew. And Togepi? So they had 152 by that time. Still, now they've got to have at least one thousand. Ridiculous. 1999 was before a lot of things. Wow. And it's almost 10 years ago. Wow.
