It seems i'm in the mood to write about myself rather then write my silly, late english paper. Right now i'm listening to M83 and they're alright. I bring this up because i stole them off of pitchfork and i really hate just looking for which bands got the best scores and then just downloading them because some of my FAVORITE bands get terrible scores on that stupid sight. I only really like 2 of their songs at the moment and one of my favorite new songs (it's not a new song though) is The 15th by Ficherspooner. I really like them, they're both relaxing and fun. I also had to rebuy one of my old Lunatic Calm cd's because zook lost it a long ass time ago and i found the case a couple days ago. I really like them. They may sound terrible at first but they are the reason why i listen to the music i enjoy listening to today.
What else...OH YEA. My computer is infected with spyware YAY. I definitly know why too, which is the worst thing. My computer used to be absolutly perfect in the pop up department. I got non at all. I get like random bombing attacks every month or so and this month i was in a really bad mood and i definitly clicked something and now i have spyware up the freaking wazoo.

CAN'T FREAKING WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE WEEK UNTIL I GET MY GOD DAMN PSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea so, i've learned to apprecaite my long time friends a lot more now that i've been hangin out with amy an amazing shit load amount of time. I love it though, i really do. I'm definitly in love with that girl, but i've also comed to the realization that right next to love there are friendships that i should never ignore. I think i'm gunna go do that english paper now.....

i love you all.

goodnight moon.

What the fuck is this shit?

Sony ordered by court to halt US Playstation sales

[Tokyo] Sony Corp has been ordered by a US court to halt sales of its blockbuster Playstation consoles in the key US market and pay US$90 million in damages to a small US tech company, Immersion Corp.

Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE), Sony's gaming unit, yesterday said it would appeal the decision by a California federal court in the patent infringement case.

The order covers the Playstation and Playstation 2, two game controllers and 47 software titles. For the time being, Sony will keep selling Playstations as the order will not go into effect before the appeal, an SCE spokeswoman said. Sony will be paying compulsory licence fees to Immersion, she added.

Games have been Sony's profit driver in recent years as it struggles with price declines at its electronics division. Games accounted for 44 percent of the company's group operating profit in the Oct-Dec quarter. In January, Sony cut its operating estimate for this business year by 31 percent, citing sharply falling prices of televisions, dvd recorders and other key products and weak demand for chips.

Immersion, a California based developer of digital touch technologies, claimed Sony infringed on its technology that makesa game controller vibrate in sync with actions in games, the Japanese game maker said. The US$90 million awarded by the court is more than triple Immersion's 2004 revenues of US$23.8 million and represents two-thirds of its current market value around US$135 million........

Good thing this doesn't affect PSPs. MUUahahahahah....actually it probably will...

don't worry fellow readers, the PSP will be mine very soon. My tax returns of $200 will be coming within the next week and it will be used to soil my brain of PSP power. I wanted to buy twisted metal at first and then i saw how much more gameplay there is in wipe out pure and decided to change my mind for the time being. As far as everything else goes i miss a certain someone verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry freaking much and i hope all your lives are going well.

i found this to be very funny....

only in America can pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

only in America are there handicap parking places in front of an skating rink.

only in America do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of store to get prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

only in America do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.

only in America do banks leave both doors open & then chain pens to the counters.

only in America do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway & put our useless junk in the garage.

only in America do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

only in America do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

this is going to have to be my last lj entry for....well adleast a while. i just really feel like being on my own for a while.

What to do? God only knows.......haha no he doesn't, i'm just stupid

Thu, 03 Feb 2005 06:40:59 GMT

Today waaaaaaas interesting, i will admit to that. In the morning i woke up super early so that i could get to school early to do some history homework and study for the quiz we had planned for today. Turned out she switched the quiz to the next day we had her....so ya i was really sad that i could of gotten an extra hour's worth of sleep instead of study how malcom x made black people fight back the evil white race. I then waited then hung out with my favorite homies at break and got my crew sign up sheet cause i like crew, i've wanted to do crew, and the meeting was tonight so i said hell ya, i'm doing crew. Pretty cool that sarah is doing it with me. Juuuuuuust so happens she's liked the idea of crew since like 7th grade which is pretty amazing. photography was um fun i guess. i found out that one of my friends plagorized one of my favorite photos without my permission and didn't even really give a shit about it. Kind of hurts when people go behind your back and do that and then you have to find out about it from another source. one of my FAVORITE pics too. real cool man. After exploring the hall ways with a lot of happiness lifting me up i went on over to mrs. davis's class. Yes, it is now back into davis's control. i truly am going to miss mr. k. my grades will never be as good as when he was here. much love to you mr. knutson. After school i drove some peeps home and then went home myself to just chill a little bit. i got really bored and head over to sarah's before we both were going to go to the crew meeting. we danced, we talked, we left, we were late....yea lol it was still pretty fun getting there though. hella confusing but fun. we ended up asking some people that actually LIVED next to oaks park, which is where the meeting was being held. It was just really sureal because there was like a whooooole family in this tiny apartment like place that was connected to this boat house....it just really confused sarah and myself, but in turn made us laugh at how wierd that truly was.... Once we got into the meeting of course we made one hell of an entrance considering we were some what late. The main speaker guy asked sarah and i to just sit down on one of the machines and start rowing...being that we were both late we had the people around us help us out a bit and it was VERY strange, yet very fun at the same time.

After that ten minutes of rowing? we went downtown cause it was only 6 30 and we both didn't have homework to do. We ended up just walking around and talking a lot about each other. I've always really wanted to get to know sarah up close and personal and i'm glad we had that little walk and talk. It was nice. I sadly dropped her off at home at around 9 ish and we departed from there and here i sit.

I've got a lot on my mind right now, and i'm sure a good portion of...well many of you know whats on it right now and yes, i'm going to do something about it, don't worry. AH!

Well, well, well...

Tue, 01 Feb 2005 06:18:28 GMT

Hm, it seems i have found the time to update my live journal. oh man i know, i've just been so freaking busy latly! Alright, so lets talk about this weekend:

Alenna and i found each other at the magazine stand in the airport after the crazzzzzy security checkpoint. I tell ya, those check points are freaking awsome nowadays. I mean, those guys really get the job freaking done and thier really serious about it all. It just makes me realy happy to see that they are now doing thier job amazingly well. GOOD JOB AIRPORT. and i hate seeing people on the news complaining about how they are too tuff on people, especially random people. SO STUPID. they're soooooo going to regret that when they miss a guy one day who has a gold knife stuck up his ass in order to take over the plane. bitches, all of them bitches i tell you. Anyways, we got on the plain it was a perty good flight there, very relaxing actually. Im glad goldie was there along with me. We flew over vegas and it was freaking amazing. I came into vegas basically not knowing anything or seeing much of it all before hand and while we were flying over at late at night....it was just freaking amazing. I never knew that that city spanded over sooooooo much ground. Absolutly everything was lit up with lights. SOOOOOOOOOO SIM CITY. We got into the airport and immediatly seperated form each other considering we both had fathers to attend to. My dad's apartment isn't anything to talk about really, it was fairly simple and somewhat depressing to hang out in. We all weren't in it much though which is good. The next morning i woke up early and walked around the area a bit to check out where my dad is going to be staying for the next 3 months. It's actually a pretty nice area. they have like randomly placed lakes everywhere that you can walk around n'stuff, it was perty cool. After that i got home and we all then headed down to the strip. The strip is pretty freaking amazing, i must say. But only at night, during the day it's completly worthless...which is the time i went and walked it with my dad and my stepmom. that night i got picked up by goldie's dad and we all went down to the strip starting with the Luxor. This thing makes me cry its so god damn beautiful. Inside of it are 3 freaking Imax theatres that all show different shows at different times. Very expensive shows i might add. So yea, considering i was broke and goldie was the one with all the cash we ended up walking around alot. We explored all the near by hotels n'stuff. Can't really remember what they were all called, cause i have a horrible memory, but it was definitly one hell of a time. We went to a lot of arcades, took some pics, and ended the night with a very fulfilling chat at the local starbucks. haha. I got home at around 1:30 which really pissed my dad off and made him come to the conclusion that i now have a curfew of 12 which sucks balls cause that means there probably won't be any hot-tub-hangout the next night.

Don't really remember what happened the next day. I think my family and i just walked around lot more. OH WAIT NVM. We saw a magic/comedy show and it was really actually fucking entertaining. His name was Mac King and i was really impressed. HAHA i can't remember when exactly but for one trick he kept pulling like money out of nowhere and towards the end he zipped open his pants and said "oh look, a fig newton". LOL i don't know why but something about a guy pulling a fig newton out of his crotch just made me start bawling. After that we went home and had dinner. My dad was being a meany about me coming home late last night so he didn't want to drive me anywhere. Thank god for alenna's dad being freaking cool and came and picked me up. We went to in and out burger. man, i was not impressed. everybody always raves about those tiny little burgers and those pathetic fry's. It was expensive too. DON'T WORRY! the night got wayyyyyyy better. We then went to the freaking stratosphere and did the big shot ride. I have never held the leg of a little girl for my life before...and looking at that ride made me do so. It turned out ok though and i almost shit my pants when being shot into almost outer freaking space. Oh man, while we were both screaming too, you could faintly here the sound of a remixed daft punk song being played in the background, it was amazing. After we both went home we had this plan on sneaking out and going to a hot tub or something but i just really wanted to go into a hot tub in vegas. It ended that well...goldie didn't "feel" like taking her dad's car and coming to get me. FINE.

The next morning zook and i flew home realllllllllly too early in the morning. My grandma drove us home and i fell asleep on my bed for a little while and then called up seth to see wha the was up to and i picked john and him up at his house. We all then headed over to sarah's house to just hang out. She was making some amazing shirt creations. Sarah, i really must say i envy you and your creativity and patient in order to create something beautiful. Seth, john, and myself headed down to taco bell and filled up and then we went home ward bound after that. I got home and was really just freaking bored and tired so i turned on some Air and fell asleep for a while and then got up and was really energized so i decided to go on a much needed walk. Believe it or not i had a lot on my mind at the moment. I went over to goldie's house first to talk about some things concerning me being confused about her and adam. I found out that i'm really just too defined to understand and help people. I believe what i believe and sometime i need to relize that and keep it to myself and stop bugging people if they go against my stupid little beliefs sometimes. I ended up getting upset a little but got better thanks to her wonderful words. i love you alenna, you are a good friend. After a pretty long talk with goldie, i said i would meet up with amy and so i did god dammit. i didn't care how late it was, i wanted to see amy really bad. We sat outside her house on a curb and talked a about a lot of stuff. Mainly about something i've been avoiding for some time now and need to get it straightened out and not be so afraid of it anymore. i love you amy, you are a good friend. It was about 12:30 when i got done talking with amy so i decided it was time for me to go. I got home and went o bed feeling somewhat content. It was probably by definition one of the most emotion walks i've ever had....

The next day i told adam i wanted to sit down and just talk with him for a little cause i felt as if i didn't really know what he was anymore. School was ok, pretty easy going. BTW jay jones i love you and i'm sorry i have to be such a god damn pussy but i promise i'll get better. After school i went to taco bell with adam and we talked a lot about each other and i'm feeling a whooooooooooooooooooooole shit load better about just situations with him now and if you reading this adam well i'm much more comfortable now with you, thanks for doing that. After that adam and i went to get my oil changed and my engine cleaned. I always feel as if i'm getting ripped off by car guys because of my lack of knowledge towards cars....o well...all i know is that i don't have to pay for that shit for a long time now and adam is a good friend for helping me out with that. I got home and took a little nap and then went on my walk up to devin's to just talk with him. Toooooo bad he wasn't home!!! god dammit. i was actually looking pretty forward to talking with my good ole buddy devin gaffney. Oh well, i still took some ok pics during the walk. I got home and got yelled at by mother because of my pathetic grades and my lack of working and making money. It's all ok now though, no worries.

What i have learned though is that i really like walks, i have much better friends then i think i do, and that there are still many things to accomplish in this little time i have left on earth. Whoever might be reading all this jibba jabber, i really like you and i'll probalby be visiting you on one of my walks in the near future. We can get to know each other a lot better in that time. but for now you rule, i'm gunna go back to listening to music and staring into space. good bye.

Friends

yea so i'm really confused about stuff right now so that's probably why i'm updating my live journal. i'd be out on a walk right now thinking about this o so wonderful things that bother my brain but i have a physics final to study for and get over with for tomorrow so i can't really go anywhere.
Today consisted of going home and watching kill bill volume 2 with zook. Thats all i really wanted to do to tell you the truth. My plan was to come home, watch a movie, eat, play maybe an hour of video games and then start studying. But instead during the kill bill process seth calls me up and tells me to come over to sarah's and hang out. I sometimes think that all i'm worth is my car to some people. not to people in general and i'm not saying that to be selfish of anysort or anything mean like that. but after school today i got thinking about how what if i didn't have my car? My life would probably consist of going and staying home a lot more and....hanging with adam and devin a lot more. I know that sounds funny and somewhat mean to say but to me its true. I feel kind of bad that i've now detachted from them both. Devin a nice guy when your on his good side and adam is an awsome guy when your on his good side also. i don't know. i hang out with goldie, sarah, seth and amy and all those other people a lot more now but i still feel as if something is missing from our relationship as friends. Like with adam and devin i've been around them so long i just this kind of "we've been friends forever" feeling. I don't exactly have that with a lot of other people that i've been hanging out with latly. no offense to anyone, of course but i still get this odd feeling that makes me act differently around certain people. i think the only people i don't get that feeling around are probably tim and jay. i don't know, i'm still figuring things out. i love all my friends though.
As goes for my day, i headed over to sarahs and hung out there with probably my two most fun people to just HANG OUT with. sarah rules, seth rules. We then headed over to pick up goldie. i feel closer then ever before to you goldie, but i still feel that there is something missing. i don't know, i might just be too hyper whenever i'm around you and it might just stress you out and if it does ever come down to that i apologize. you still freaking rule goldie. i definitly think my life would be missing something if you weren't in it. We basically just drove around getting food n'stuff for a couple hours. we ended up at sarah's and just talked and chilled. thats another thing. i've never actually sat down and talked like hardcore with a lot of my new friends, except goldie. its too bad that that's what my original plan was!!!!! god damn finals for getting in the way of getting to know my good friends better. o well, it'll happen next week. my walking quests to get to know my friends a lot better. it'll happen, i must do it, no matter what the obstacles.
As for after talking a little with seth, sarah, and goldie i drove seth home and said tata to the amazing sarah hansen. goldie didn't really want to go home so i we both just went over to my house and chilled out there for a little while. We then went over to adam's house to just hang out there for a little. man adam, something was up with you today buddy. haha. i definitly got a different vybe from you today. like there were some points where i felt as if i was talking to devin...yea wierd. but i don't know, i guess you just really hadn't gotten enough sleep or something.
I really hope i have an amazing time in las vegas because it should be really fun.
what i hope to get out of this trip:
get to know goldie a whole shit load better
lot of pictures
get back into the groove with my dad cause he's an awsome human being
see freaking las vegas from inside and out
not to sleep too much
make some form of friends down there and then bring them over to goldie's dad house for a hot tub party (things on is going to be tuff)
get a better understanding of the outside world

yea so i have a lot to do while i'm there. k i really need to start studying for my physics, cause i'm probably not going to bed tonight.
seth mcginis is a good human being. sarah hansen is a good human being. amy shaunette is a good human being. jay jones is a good human being. tim wood is a good human being. alenna fouts is a good human being. adam "jetmo" lani is a good human being. stefam luccini is a good human being.

btw i found a cracked, 5 month early Human After All album by Daft Punk yesterday and it's now my favorite album.

yea so i'm screw for finals SURPRISE!

Tue, 25 Jan 2005 08:41:35 GMT

And so here i sit....a lonly naked man....

no i'm serious, i'm reall naked here and yes i am very lonly. I wish i had a girlfriend of somesort that i could call up right now and talk to about why i'm naked and lonly.

Actually if i had a girlfriend i probably wouldn't be naked and alone right now...yeah so forget that.

Anyways, today was pretty easy going. It was basically a review day in all my classes which meant just fuck around and do whatever you want until you get home and do the real

studying there...kind of thing. After school i just dropped stefan and andrew off at thier houses and came straight home and finished up the series of star wars with zook with watching

some intense return of the jedi. This is really pissing me off though. Zook has the new dvd version n'stuff, that of which we watched and all that and i had never entirely seen the

new return of the jedi yet and when we got to the end i was just reallly pissed of the entire time. They replaced the old looking anakin ghost with the new, kid one that's going to be

in the revenge of the sith...AND they replaced the ewok song at the ending with some silly emotional music...AND they added some pointless celebrations scenes from other

planets into the ending...the whole ending was just fucked around with tooooooo much and it reallllllllllly bothered me.

After i got done with that i basically just sat around a lot and listened to a lot of music and studied a whole lot more then i usually do for...anything.

the night began with confusion...

then it all made sense to me...too much sense...

i then became flustered...

AND THEN I HAD IT!...

nope, lost it

btw, these are my new kicks. i like them a lot.

GOOD FREAKIN WEEKEND

Mon, 24 Jan 2005 06:54:57 GMT

And now its time for finals so i will definilty being seeing a lot of....well nobody this week.

Interesting day, i really must say so myself. I woke up in the morning and was all stressed out because my key wouldn't make my car start and i was kind getting irratated. I just went and got my spare. haha i later found out that day, thanks to todd, that it was just bent out of wack and i didn't even stop to notice it. wow. I got to school realllly early cause i thought class started way earlier then it originally did because of the assembly buuuut i thought too soon becuase i got there an hour early and only actually needed half an hour to study for the history quiz on even more *drum roll please* BLACK PEOPLE! YAYYYY! I feel like mrs. wolfe is my friend more and more because whenever i'm talking to her i feel almost like i'm just talking to one of the gus and its kind of cool. Too bad i have to be her student or else she would be a very fun person to hang out with.

The jefferson dancers were really amazing...and really disgusting at times but all in all i think they put on a very entertaining performance. I am really getting sick at how my class cares less and less every day about being....THE JR. CLASS! not one god damn person would clap with me. so pathetic guys. anyways school was alright afterwards. just got some good ole school work done n'stuff.

After school i stayed after with mr. huss to figure some things out for my grade and why i was missing some labs. Turned out i was only missing one and did it there on the spot and got a 100% cause he basically did it for me, as usual. I love that man though. I think it's almost like the mrs. wolfe thing except he too....christian so you can't swear or make harsh jokes around him or else he'll get affended. But i still love the guy. After i got out i went over to goldie's on the account of the fact that she didn't attend school today. I snatched some apple sauce from her house and then we both headed over to amy's house to do some chearing up from her not AGAIN being at school. that was pretty fun, we all ruined amy's wrapping paper by playing swords with the rolls on her front lawn, fun stuff. Adam then came over and goldie, himself and i all headed out to portland to take some pictures. pretty fun stuff, we crossed this really cool over pass for pedestrians. it made me feel reallllllllllly special.

after portland we headed back into lake oswego, got some taco bell, took pictures of a nice old man named kosmo, who told us about his website, kosmo.net, which is nothing more then a japanese site....yea i still am a little confused on that matter. Ca$hvill came next baby. BEST & LAST GAME OF THE SEASON BABY. yes, the cashvill rain has ended and we all had a good laugh while it lasted. it was fun guys. the ended after that. adam drove some peeps home along with me to amy's house. amy and i had a little emotional talk about the confusion of relationships and how hectic they truly can be. Amy, don't you worry girl, i'd give a lot to have a girlfriend that loved me that much, cause i aint never had that.

BTW GRAN TURISMO 4 IS GOING TO BE THE MOST AMAZING GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PEACE

haha wow

kosmo.net

gran turismo 4 nike vehicle.....wow

3 days in life

Tue, 18 Jan 2005 03:57:52 GMT

i'm probably not going to be updateing as much as i usually would be life at the moment is kind of complicated and confusing. haha. yea right, i probably havn't seen anything yet. But serioulsy instead of working out my problems over the internet i've takin the inituative to just go and take a walk instead and end up at someone elses house and talk to them about whats going on n'stuff. my plan is to talk to someone new every night, no matter where they live. hopefully i'll stick to this plan. I get really excited about walking around though, especially by myself. When i'm by myself i don't feel as awkword as i would with a friend next to me. Not to insult them or something but whenever i'm walking with a good friend i always feel as if i'm supposed to be doing something to try and impress them. hm, i don't know, i'll figure things out. i always do.

As for my missing days i havn't been doing much. Actually i just can't remember much. OH YA. Friday adam and i just worked on alenna's present the whole day. It turned out really freaking amazing... adleast in my mind it did, hopefully it will in goldie's too. The rest of friday consisted of working more more on goldie's present and adam and i bringing out our atristic inside aaaand then heading over to tim's cause word around town was that there was a dance party goin down there so i just had to do dat thang. That was a pretty fun night. Tim, ben, jay, adam, goldie and myself watched harold and kumar and shaun of the dead. After laughing out hearts out over and over again we the decided to go and hit denny's up. But before that we had to go to lee's to get goldie's purse back from amy. We showed up and they were having a little fun of their own. haha. I was freaking starving but no one else was so i just got something for myself. After that we all headed home for a good night's rest.

The next morning it was all, as we all know, was iced over like non other. I got moving around and stuff and sadly i had to get the call from goldie that the party was, of course, cancelled on account of the snow. Another thing that was cancelled was of course the freaking lan. It wasn't exactly cancelled but there was no way in hell i was going to be able to get out there. I headed over to adam's for some company and relized devin and david were sliding down the misty mountain of Park to meet up with us. We all got together and walked and sledded around havin a goo ole time in the ice, falling every which we could. Our plan was to head down to Best Terriyaki and get some grub. When we finally got there we met up with lee "freaking" fricky. Got picked up by my sister and headed back to my house to just chiiiiill and since my mom wasn't home everybody stayed the night, including alenna. I wasn't too confortable with adam and goldie spending some "quality" time with each other in my own house considering they arn't even going out but i just acted like i didn't care cause they're my friends and they'd hopefully let me do the same one day at thier house or something. whatever, doesn't matter now.

The next morning we all woke up and made some waffles and i had to get everybody out of the house so i could do a couple hours of cleaning with a whole lot of daft punk in the background to keep me goin. After i was done cleaning i wen to hang out with tim, amy, jay d, and a little sarah at starbucks. They were doing a little PAS art show thing that included cans so i decided to give them some company. That was pretty chill. Afterwards i went to tim's and watched harold and kumar again because that is one of my favorite movies of all time. After the movie was over people started coming over including some new people that i had never met before. Some of them being verrrrrrrrrrry good looking. Too bad the one i was most interested in had to leave pretty quickly but o well, there will be other times. That night was just really random. I drove around with hunter, tim, and tony a lot and then with adam and some of ians friends. I must say, that crowd consisting of karl and....well others is just very awkword. Every time i try and start a conversastion with one of them it always just kind of....ends pretty quickly and thats no fun at all. oh well.

I spen the night at adam's house and played a lot of gran turismo 2 there cause that game freaking rocks and i'm preparing my skills for gran turismo 4 soon to come in and around march, hopefully. Woke up and did the same thing for a couple hours and then adam and went downstairs to watch charley and the chocolate factory for a while. We both came to the conclusion that that movie is really just a really really good movie that everyone should have the pleasure to sit down and watch, and there were some really funny parts in it that i never took notice of before. I just came home after that and showered and talked to friends online. I found out that goldie and i are going to take the same flight together down to las vegas and spend the weekend there with our dad's. That, i'm hopeing, will be a verrrrrrrrrry fun weekend. considering i've never been there before in my entire life and i'm going to experience it with one of my friends!

So all in all this weekend was alright. there were a lot of ups and downs going on but i got past them and turned out just fine. I just hope next weekend will be even better!

The subject is today and today is all you get

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 07:12:25 GMT

i really don't feel like updating anymore...for i feel i must and that it is my rightful duty to do so and i will begin with just this day because the last 2 days, strangly, have been the most emotional two days of my life and i don't want to remember them.
I woke up today and felt...dry? I guess thats a good word for saying how i felt...because my whole felt really empty and everywhere on my body felt different. aka the dry feeling. perhaps because it's winter and i have really dry skin to go along with it.
School was a nice touch. i got to see tim, thank god, and see how things were going with him and his life in general. I made me really happy to hear that he was doing really well and was completly over haley.
I got to hug a lot of people today at school and it made me feel really good, and happy. In saying that i really believe in sarah's beliefe in giving out more hugs. The only problem with this is that whenever i hug peopole more i become more "touchy". I like touch more people more often then i should. But i just think it's another way of showing that i care.
After school i went and hung out with tyler and scott for a little bit and then went to hang out with adam. We drove around gathering ideas for goldie's birthday present that would PRESENTED to her on saturday night. That will hopefully be a really good night.
I also had dinner with my grandma tonight which is always a good thing because my grandma is actually a really cool human being once you get deep down into just who really is grandma gango. That filled my stomach too which is a great feeling. I got home and immediatly headed over to adam's house because i hate sitting around my room because it's just fucking depressing. I want to be out of this room as much as possible. Its too condense and the fact that there isn't a enough space to walk around is like saying there isn't enough space to think. I think that's why i like going on walks outside so much. So much open space!! i have to agree with adam on the matter of just back packing around my whole life and setting up tent in a new place everyday. So cool.
I'm gunna go read the fellowship of the ring.

don't really want to say much about today. but it was a better day. i got a lot more in touch with myself and my friends.
my last entry isn't there probably because i made it private. i basically said a lot of horrible things i regret saying and really don't want people to see. but it also made me understand many other things, so it might have a been a good thing and maybe i'll let it out someday, when everybody and myself are ready for it.
Today was a good day. Thank you goldie.
Thank you adam.

Relaxified day

Tue, 11 Jan 2005 07:09:55 GMT

Well i would have pictures for all of you but sadly, i never got my camera back from a little chinese women going by the alias of shelby... mhm anyways, today was pretty easy going and relaxing. I actually got all my homework done in study which is a real surprise considering i...well...never do.... There was way too much talk about black people today in my opinion cause it began with history and the talk of how lake oswego doesn't have very much black people in it...at all. Mrs. Wolfe showed us an article telling everyone why exactly we didn't have any blacks here. it was because there was some deed law back way then that said you could only buy residences if you were of the white race. Which in turn, we found out, meant that no jews could buy homes here either during a certain period of time, which to me is pretty damn funny.

OOOOOf couse i slept through english because we just watched a video on...well black people and how pissed off they were at mark twain for writing such books and using such words as nigger and what not. It got pretty annoying towards the end if you ask me. After school i hung around outside for a little cause i had no plans whatsoever and while i was waiting i saw big old cute innocent daniel chen z wating in pauls car. His car was just on with daniel in it outside of the school so of course i dropped my backpack and daniel and i had some fun and drove it around for a little bit and then returned to a very confused and flustered paul lui.

Afterwards i went to burger alone cause adam was doing his piano thing. So yea, i was pretty lonly but it was alright, as usual. I just went home afterwards and layed around the house in awkward positions and at some point came back up stairs to talk to people online and found out goldie was doing the same exact thing so i headed over to her house to join in on the fun we could have together! I basically chilled at her house for a good couple hours cause my house is just plain depressing and having a good partner around is always a good thing. We just sat around and watched disney movies and odd shows on MTV n'stuff. good stuff.

And here i sit. Reflection on today was very just laid back and sat around and it made me feel pretty good. i actually originally had plans today to go bowling by myself but tim kindly informed me that tomorrow is one dollar day at the beverton bowling center sooooo i decided to take up his offer and go with him and some other peeps tomorrow. I really like bowling and want to do it more often, it really relaxes me and is just a plain ole fun game to play.

I want to go to Australia and have wanted to ever since i was a youngin. The land, the people, the cities...all good in my mind and all set up juuuuuuust the way i want them to be for a vacation spot. damn, i need to go there.

Appropriate for the moment?

Alright, i am predicting this entry will teach a many things and maybe you could learn something too:

Friday consisted of school (wow really!?!?). After school i went down to taco fridays with doyle to pick up some grub and see some peeps. That was pretty interesting considering i don't know anyone there except stefan and beth. I have MET all those people it just doesn't seem like they're that interesting in talking with me and yes i have tried to do so in the past. Plus it's kind of hard talking to them when all the friends your really close to always complain about how much they really don't like them. So i've basically given up on them for such reasons. After departing from taco friday i ended up taking more people then i expected home (yay?) and was late getting home for some winter formal shopping with my mom. My mom, zook, and myself went down to the men's wearhouse in beaverton and picked out a suit for me. It was a really good sale, the whole sale thing going on saved me and my mom a lot of money. The whole suit was supposed to cost like 500 hundred dollars but turned out to actually be only like 150 so we were excited and bought it with a tie right away. I really felt good in that store. I now know i have an outstanding love for suits and such. plus the people working there were really cool.

I met up with adam afterwards and we went out with devin and got something to eat downtown. After downtown we went to blockbuster and rented the suicide club (fucked up japanese flick), Naqoyqatsi (really good movie. no actors. just music and really good photography n'stuff. i reccommend it), bullit (everyone really just needs to see this movie), and then a movie called like "An American Movie", it was alright, don't really recomend putting money towards it though. Yea so watched all those movies at devin's and then just slowly fell asleep into the night. Woke up the next morning and watched the fellowship (i have still yet to learn everything that movie has to offer) and then adam and i went and got my paycheck and cashed it together. Its really wierd what petsmart is doing to me...i have no hours next week and yet they gave me a 50 cent raise...what are you planning petsmart? went home and then waited around till 3 ish when adam and i were going to go to beverton to pick up my suit and get him some headphones from best buy. david came too, it was perrrrrrrrrty fun.

This is the part of the day you all have probably been hearing about in everyone els'es ljs so i'll try and make it sort....:

Put my very nice suit on, i felt like a freaking million bucks, and went and picked up carlen, goldie, and sarah at goldie's house. It was really fun cause i got be the first to see them all prettied up. you girls all looked really freaking amazing and just being in your presence made me feel really special. We headed off to tim's and hung out there and waited for people to get dressed/get coffee/just plain ole come! When we finally got going i was really happy. When we got to the rock bottom brewery i was even happier to be there. Seeing other people from our schoo made me feel even better! man, i never realized how much fun that was. afterwards we headed out and went to the DANCE! oh man, it was really fun. I actually got all the asains to have a really good time, including daniel chen z!!! yes, i will agree with everyone else and say that the music was yet again the same old same old rap crap and whenever he would play a little techno it made me feel so good. man, i making it a dediction to play an equal amount of rap and techno at prom. o man i can NOT FREAKING WAIT FOR PROM!!!!1 its going to be so good. after dancing the freaking night away with all my awsome friends we all went bowling. wow, i freaking suck at bowling. goldie kicked my ass.....like royally. it hurt. but i still had one hell of a time. afterwards i gave rides home and then headed over to tim's house to just chilllllllllllll. while at tim's house i was really relaxed, especially when goldie did that eye missage thing, it really wierded me out but reallllllllllly relaxed me. While she was doing it i had the strangest dreams. can't really remember them now though. We all just hung out and slowly talked the night away. It was really fun. a

after tim was ready to go to bed goldie and i drove home and said our goodbyes. all in all it was a pretty amazing night and definitly a highlight of my life.

next morning wasn't all that great. i woke up at like 1 cause i got home at like 5 in the morning and then went to work at 2. work was wierd. the whole time i was constantly thinking about last night and what went on n'stuff. i don't know. it was definilty a new feeling though. i know this sounds kind of pathetic but towards the last couple hours of work i couldn't stop thinking about how much i wanted to have only 2 new things in my life: A brand new, beautiful looking car and an awsome, loving women. i don't know why but i wouldn't stop thinking about these things and how that they're the only things i want in life at the moment. like you'd think i would say more money but really i could care less. yea its nice to have a couple bucks on you but wouldn't you rather a loving girlfriend on you instead? god dammit. i'll shut up now. just like geoff said, if really really really wanted one, i would have one by now, but i don't, so yea thanks geoff. btw i really miiss you man. like, i mean that. haha yea.

yea so good weekend. i had a good time and i hope everyone i had the pleasure of being around did too.

Well, that was today

Fri, 07 Jan 2005 05:21:10 GMT

Alrighty. don't worry guys the history paper turned out ok. i woke up early to adam calling me and telling me he was getting a ride from his mom. THANKS BUDDY OL' PAL. Since i was now awake i took my shower and got dressed, the entire time worrying about what mrs. wolfe would say about my little accident. I've never been so worried about an essay before. For example my essay for english was due ages ago and i still havn't done it but i know it'll still be accepted because that class is really worthless, and yet i could still care less about it. Personally i think its the teachers. I have no heart whatsoever for mr. knutson. great guy, prolly really cool to hang out with n'stuff, i just don't approve of the way he does things for the society of education. As goes for mrs. wolfe, i really want to be her friend and gain her respect which is a really hard thing to do when your a really Irresponsable kid. But i don't think i've worried about something so much.

ANYWAYS i got there and went to mr. huss's class to get my papers, he wasn't there as usual but whatever, i still went to mrs. wolfe's room. hahaha this is the best. i immediatly walk in and she does look a little dissapointed but when i'm two feet within the door she says yea thats fine cooper (cause of the email i wrote her) OMG I LOVE HER. she's just so chill about everything...except her work, which is a good thing i guess. Yea after that dilemma i just roamed the hallways a lot and thought about winter formal and such. School was alright. the usual fall asleep routine went on. tim and i talked a lot about winter formal and how things were going to work themselves out that night n'such. I think we'll be fine for reservations and the dance is easy as usual and the bowling should be ok, we just have to talk to them about reserving a lane or two for saturday which i really hope will work out....don't know abou our luck yet though.

For some reason today at school i got a lot of questions on if i was going to winter formal with anyone and of course my answer was no but every time i responded with my answer the person would always do that little i feel sorry for you face and make that OOOOOOOooooo sound....yea it just made me feel even worse about the fact i'll be dancing alone....THANKS. haha no but seriously it didn't effect me that greatly, it was just kind of annoying.

after school tim, sarah, goldie, adam and myself went out to the hotcake houseto get some food. i was starving my mind out and i had cashed my check from petsmart so i was loaded and ready for food. i had two hotcakes and a lot of fries and mooched off everone elses milkshakes. Yea, i drank almost all of everyone's milkshakes...i was really freaking hungry. the whole time i got the messege that everyone was either really tired oooorrrrr just wasn't in the mood for doing stuff. I'm guessing its probaby because we all had school the next day which is never a fun thing.

Got home afterwards and wrote my essay. YES.

and here i sit. look at my face. i'm tired. very tired.

Wow, School is um...........gay?

Thu, 06 Jan 2005 07:20:59 GMT

Get to school, fall asleep many times in marketing class. Go to leadership. Tim and myself made reservations at the Rock Bottom Brewery at 7 o'clock for 15 people. So if your coming with us be sure to tell us tomorrow or the day after to we can figure things out. Out plan was to then go to the dance afterwards and then to BOWLING!!!1 Man, i really can't wait to bowl. for me that'll be my personal favorite part. even if everyone else is wanting to go over to tim's house or something, i'm just going to go by myself. I know it sounds really pathetic but bowling is the best, most relaxing sport ever. But yea, that's what we're doing. didn't get asked by anyone but dats still cool i guess, i usually still have a pretty good time anyways. Went to the stupid ass asembly WHAT A SURPRISE.

I think the only entertaining thing was mrs. harvester doing her little skit from the cards. But yea in case you didn't notice the ASB doens't have an assembly director and thats why the assemblies always kind of suck. PLUS rekkan told me when he was counting the votes for the juniors it he said it ended up being andrew fraisor winning which made me really happy but in the end it was fucking jimmy...seriously c'mon jimmy, a good portion of our class isn't really entertained by the fact that you won NOT COOL MAN. Jesus christ wasn't selfish so why were you?? After that dissapointment i went to physics n'stuff. Then math, then physics again after school to get some things figured out with my grade. This is where i made the idiotic mistake of leaving all my fucking history stuff in his room while i was getting papers out of my back pack. Ended up being EVERYTHING i needed to write my essay that's due tomorrow. YAY.

So ya, i basically got home after hangin out with goldie and adam for a little while and fell asleep on my bed for a couple hours and then woke up and found out what had happened to my history stuff and was SUPER PISSED OFF. I basically sat at my computer and tried writing some more of it from memory and it was really impossible and i really need to get a good grade on this. I then wrote her an emial explaining my situation n'such. My plan for tomorrow is to go to mr. huss's class and get his sig on the fact that i left my stuff there and then go talk to mrs. wolfe about it all and see what we can get worked out. god i prey that it'll work out, or else my day will just turn to complete shit.

wish me luck all, i venture off into the only place of which i am safe from gossip, school, and just plain old getting myself hurt........sleep.

Back to Routine

Wed, 05 Jan 2005 07:27:12 GMT

Alright, well lets see what has been going on latly: Yesterday i, of course attented school, and everyone wasn't too happy to be back. But there was definitly something going around school... could it have been that everyone in the universe now owns an ipod!?!?!?! Yea, that really annoyed me and the sad thing is that it isn't technically a "phase" because they can't really "die out" or get old because you can basically make them new everyday. Yes, i've concluded they are nothing like gigapets, i really want to bring those back...no i don't. Even though everybody was deep down kinda saddened to be back it felt like everyone was treating me really nice that day for some reason, i don't know but i was just in a really good mood because of that. THANKS GUYS!! Also rumors of new years eve floated through out the hall ways... i wasn't the one talking though, i was trying to keep all the spreaders' mouths' shut so that some people wouldn't get hurt by the gossip. But, sadly being the kind of school that has these kind of people, it never ceased to reach my ears. i could care less though. just kind of laughed it off towards the end. After school adam, david, and myself went to mcdonalds cause we were all starving. that was really fun. david and i went back to my house and watched a new hope and rewound the jek porkins scene over and over again...omg, that guy has no purpose. after david left i watched return of the king dvd extras cd 1 until like 11 o'clock...yea, there's a lot of extra shit. Afterwards i built zook's new desk all the way into the night...man i hate sleeping.

THE NEXT DAY...

Woke up and for some reason i couldn't get lord of the rings off the brain...it was like paranoria or something cause everything i looked at i made reference to lord of the rings in some way...it was really wierd so i think i'm gunna cut back for a couple days...or else i might start dressing like Frodo...or something. Got to school and did the whole depressing school thing. you know, fell asleep in english the entire time, talked about black people in history, and ran around during lunch. good stuff. after school i finally obtained some hours from PetsMART and went directly from school to work so i make moola money and actually have the ability to make my car payments this month. YAY. man, it was really tiring today though cause our new manager, george, really still doesn't know whats going no and only scheduled nick and myself on a big shipment day. we managed though, we actually almost got it all done, or adleast a lot more then half which is surprisinlgy impressive for two guys. After work i was driving home and thank god i had new brakes on cause i almost hit a really cool looking dog. I pulled to the side and got out in the freezing cold and ran him home. The lady didn't seemt o appreciate me running around for her dog much when i gave it back to her. it was like she expected me to bring it back...i dont' know, it was just strange.

And now here i sit after a hard days work of school, work itself, and hangin with ma buds. Eatin my Nilla Wafers.

Mon, 03 Jan 2005 06:04:04 GMT

Hm, woke up, worked for a lousy 5 hours (which means i only got payed a measly 30 bucks today, yea i know, gay...i need to find a new job) came home....

Read some really good advice from friends on my lj

Watched Return of the King up until now....

Yep, how'd you guys like that one? Pretty good for me eh? I'd have to say so.

Reflect: Best Winter Break of my entire life. Thanks guys for making this possible and you know who you are. I truly am a lucky person to have friends such as you. I am also a lucky person to have what i have as far as food/electronics/money. I do work for my money, but i am still lucky to have a job, of which i take grantite of some times and i really need to...not... All in all, this winter break has taught me a lot about friendship, family, and myself <-- how cheesy is that??

how cheesy is this?? -->

Fuckin 2005. . . . .

Sun, 02 Jan 2005 09:19:33 GMT

Alright, this is going to be a very difficult lj to write. Probably because i havn't updated in a while and it's going to be really hard to remember a lot of the stuff that happened in the past few days in the right order. Wish me luck: Alright, lets begin with the BEGINNING OF FRIDAY...i woke up and put on my robe, which represents the fact that i'm already having a really comfortable day. I sat my lazy ass down and played video games for a couple hours because it really relaxes me and i really like playing video games. There's nothing anyone can do about it either. I kept getting calls from devin concerning that fact that he wanted to go to greg's house and built tents and then have lans inside the tents. See, at the time of these calls it was literally pouring down rain, really really hard. So of course i said no and he got mad blah blah blah. thanks for ruining my relaxing morning. When i finally got done with playing front mission 4 i took a shower and headed over to tim's house, like him and i planned over the phone. So of course he wasn't there when i got there. Whatever, we eventually met up later and hung out at his house with some cool people i didn't know all that well. While jay was on the guitar i got a distress call from goldie(alenna). She was just wondering were we all were and i got the impression that everyone at tim's house was going to head for to staz's house later, but in fact everyone at tim's was at tim's for good aka not going to staz's till wayyyyyyyy later. From the tone in goldie's voice she sounded bored so i went over there to hopefully cheer her up. Met some people there and danced a little and then got bored and carlen, goldie, sarah and myself headed over to seths, cause seth freaking rules. Got there and seth and charly were both half naked with boners while good old john was just chillin. Yea i know..... seth kept giving me signs for us to leave (funny ones so it wasn't like a rude push out the door which is why i love seth) so we got up and left and went and got slupees for sarah and then went back to stazes house. BTW this trip all over town was actualy kind of fun for me even though i'm making it sound as if it weren't, so yea just wanted to clarify that. Everyone was just kind of chilling at staz's now not doin much else but getting drunk. So of course, me being the one that doesn't like to drink for the fun of it was pretty bored and lonly. So i left and went over to tim's where at the door i found lleve and eugene with some of their girlfriends. They had this plan to go and play hide and seek in a 3 story tall house that was being built at the summit. So i couldn't pass this up and went with them. It was really fun. Afterwards went over to greg's to see how things were going and it was almost midnight and i wanted to spend it with some of my closest friends. We had little adventures in the forest and on the streets and such. Afterwards adam and i went to pick up tim and jay to then go to staz's to see what was still going on there (aka go and laugh at all the drunk people yay). Got there and found a pack of people walking down staz's driveway, half wasted, half not. Fun stuff. I had to take some people over to amy's cause it probably wasn't safe for them to be walking in the condition they were in. So adam, tim, jay and myself assisted out friends and took who we could over there. Now this is the part of the night where i begin thinking...too much. Jay sarah and i were just standing outside while there people to the left and right of us just making out like none other...for some reason it really wasn't that awkward...it just kind of pissed me off...i kind of felt the same vybe coming from sarah. Jay as usual was chipper and full of joy and thats while i love jay jones. i don't know. we all gave our hugs goodbye for the night and ventured off into the night. Why this time of night was got wierd for me...well...its mainly because of things i really don't want to say...things i won't forget for a very long time and things that actually made me think a lot less of people. Yea, so...not good things. I drove away from the house with feeling like shit for sarah...i really don't know why but i felt like i had done something really wrong after that. i don't know. on the way home i got a call from my drunk ass sister telling me how drunk she was and how much she loved me...yea fun stuff. This technically meant that i was going o have to pick her up in the morning cause she probably isn't in the state to drive home. yay. adam and i slept over at my house and basically talked in the dark about how we're the only ones that don't really drink and how..."powerful?" of a feeling that gave us. yea so fuck alcohol. thats all i have to say. i don't anything but myself and my friends to have a good god damn time. my opinion on this night would have to be, in my own personal opinion, a fucked up night that brought me lots of confusion, joy, and a lot less gas. yea, i don't know, its like tim's mom said to me today. new years night is always just really dissapointing. adleast it was for me.

Ok, so today i woke up and had to go and pick up my sister at some random ass house out near wilson high school. i got back, played some video games (thank god) and then went over to ryan's house to chat with him and retrieve my memory card for my ps2. Afterwards i called adam to see what he has been doing all day and it seems he was with goldie over at his house. I went on over there and just ended up feeling really awkword the entire time i was over there and just ended up leaving and going on a walk through the forest to think some things through aka last night...i guess. After my head was a bit more cleared out i got my shitty ass car and went over to sarah's to give her her christmas present. She sadly wasn't there and i left it on her doorstep. i then went over to tim's house to hang out with amy, tim, haley, and andrew. it was really nice to hang with these people because personally...i just really like these people! we ended up goning downtown to get some mexican food and donuts and the coming back and chilling out for a little while. The only thing really bothered me about this entire day was the fact i spent it with couples the entire day...so yea it was pretty freaking weird...and pretty freaking depressing if you ask me. I still had one hell of a time with my friends but right now i'm just not feeling too well about the fact that its going to be a very long time before i have a really good girlfriend again.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH fuck me. what a horrible entry. please nobody take this entry too serioulsy. i just hate making shit private for some reason.

fuck you shitty car, fuck you

Fri, 31 Dec 2004 09:34:51 GMT

ok so my day didn't start out so well i guess you might say. I called midas to see if i could get a quote for some new brake pads./discs and they said it would cost around 120 bucks for everything so i was pretty siked considering that les schwab told me it would be 175 for them. So i did the long as drive down there in clackmas, right next door to where my mom works at lazy boy funiture. I went there cause my mom gives them a lot of business and she works next door which i guess gives her a discount. They said it would be about an hour before they knew what was going on with it n'stuff so i listened to some weezer and walked over to the clackamas town center. I really like that mall because its not thaaaat ghetto and its pretty well sized and has some good shops. Something else i really liked about it today was that for some reason there a lot of reallllllly good looking girls there today, and it made me feel kind of weird bein alone n'stuff but i actually some eyes lookin at me from some really decent girls....i was really surprised...but, being the very special human being i am, didn't do a god damn thing about it cause becasue i'm so much better at looking "cool" and ignoring them then i am actually approaching them and starting a conversation. but you have to admit, its hard when your alone. ah, o well, there will be other days. While i was there i went to EBX to see if there were any good preowned deals goin on and boy oh boy did i find some gems. Seven Samuari 20XX for 12 bucks and Front Mission 4 for 10 bucks!!!!! yea i was really siked. i really couldn't pass up this offer so i snatched them. After an hour passed i headed back to midas to check on things...not much had changed cause my car was still in the same spot i left it in. They didn't actually get started on it for another hour and then came and told me that my car was pretty fucked up from all angles. If i wanted to fix absolutly everything i would have to be paying about 500 bucks whiiiiiiiich isn't even close to what i had on me. They said they could slim it down to half that for just the basics aka new brakes. So my mom cut a deal with them and i ended up paying 170 and walked away with some still loud brakes, they definitly felt different though, better that is. but yea that entire process took about 5 hours....sucked balls. Afterwards i picked up reed and we headed downtown to meet up with devin, adam, david, hans, jay, and becca, devin's friend from seattle. She was a really cool person but seemed kind of clueless cause a good portion of the time we were talking about stuff she had no clue on like inside stories and video games....i find devin does this a lot and it actually comes off as kind of rude. i'm sure he doesn't know it cause he just likes telling stories but....i don't know maybe make it so everyone can be involved with the stories, or just have opionated conversations about something, that always works out for everyone. she also reallllllly looked like molly richardson which bothered me a little every time i looked at her, nothing wrong with that though. After a little bit of voodoo and mexican food i headed over to stazes house to hang with that crowd. A little drunk all of them which i was cool with considering people are just twice was fun and funny to hang out with when they are a little wasted. Tim and myself of course took the sober route and just hung out. Plans for tomorrow night were being discussed and it actually sounds like it's going to be one hell of a good time and i'm really excited for it. YEA BABY!!!!

yea baby at total of 22 bucks for da bof of dem!

PS: I updated my site of pics for those peeps who wanted to see more "hl2" pics

Astoria...hear our roar!

Thu, 30 Dec 2004 04:01:58 GMT

Alright folks, this is going to be a difficult lj to keep up with cause yesterday was the most freaking amazing day i've ever had the pleasure to brag about in my entire life. There's going to be a lot of pictures, a lot of writing, and a lot of patient...yea....HOLD ONTO YOUR SEATS MOTHER FUCKERS:

Day started as planned, devin came and pick adam and i up in the gigantic pacifica because his parents let him barrow it for the day. AWSOME!!!1 the plan was to leave by 9ish and we actually were really on schedule which surprised me but excited me as well. The plan was to go to astoria and doooooo whatever. I remember devin calling me the night before and telling me we're going to astoria to see the columbia opening to something...don't remember seeing anything "opening" along the trip but it was still a hell of a time and our destination was most definitly astoria and nothing was going to prevent us from reaching that wonderful place in our hearts. I was all ready to go and devin and myself awaited adam's clensing to be finished so we could get a move on:

this is what adam and i awoke to find in devn's new car...yea i'll give u a coulple seconds to figure out what it looks like.

bye bye portland, or wherever that is. i fell asleep in the back for like a half hour to catch up on some sleep while listening to some ratatat. adam and devin were up front trying to figure out the iTrip wannabe thing for the ipod.

we all hadn't had breakfest yet and devin knew of a really good mexican 24 hour place in town where tonelli lives...don't remember what the town was called or anything but i do know there were mt. hood signs everywhere sooooo maybe that'll help. the food was freaking amazing. It was actually right up there with el ranchito which is pretty damn good in my book.

After breakfest and some gas we headed over to tonneli's house (sorry if i spelled her name wrong) and devin went in to see if anyone was home and she was just still asleep. We hung out and talked there with her for like about half an hour and then headed back out again to our next planned destination....TROOOOOOJJAAAAAANN..........

i'm making this picture big, cause this thing was freaking huge. according to the security guard it reaches about 500 feet in the air. We were going to drive away but having the knowledge that we weren't really doing anything wrong we chatted with the guy for a little. He was really nice n'stuff it was that the whole time my companions and i got the feeling he was trying to hide something about he facility. Because, i don't know the exacty history or anything, but it was built for power but then the project was scrapped or something (?). But he kept saying "yep, just concrete, thats all" over and over again, like we were terroist or something taking picture for our comrades back home to begin plans on how to take it over. According to devin that's the only security they have there, is that one guy at the front gate...kinda sad considering if a smart group of people took it over and used it in some way it would "explode" or sometihing, it would have enough power in it to pretty much destroy a good portion of oregon which is pretty scar when you think about it. Speaking of scary, when we entered the trojan facility it was still really foggy and misty and you couldn't see much but as we got closer and closer to the trojan tower it slowly appeared through the clouds which was really scary. the whole place was just really freaky. It was half park, half industrial facility...i dont know, but i really want to take a tour of the place. this is the guard. he wore really big glasses and didn't really look like he could handle a terroist invasion by himself.

After scary scary trojan aarea was behind us we then got back on the main road and headed for astoria, as originally planned. We didn't really have any planned stops until we saw a sign for an island called svensen island. Yea, we couldn't help ouselves because we wanted to know what it looked like considering we were still a little ways from the ocean and the named just plainly made us laugh. Man i will tell you, other than trojan, i have never been to a weirder place in my life. It was really beautiful though:

this place was just something directly out of a map form half life 2. there are tons of other examples, but i'm too lazy to put them here but you can go to my photobucket site to see them. Anyways we got here and there was a big concrete bridge stretching over the water leading to that path above the water you see on the top left. That house on that path was actually in the water, it was really wierd. There were also a lot of dead trees around it in the water too. That path goes on for a pretty long time and we reached the end of it where we met a nice dog outside of yet another eary house with a lady inside of it staring at us...reallllllllly creepy, but very enjoyful. We turned around and went back on the road and took some pictures on the spot caust it was such a cool place. My two favorites from that parked spot are:

cool. others are on my photobucket site.

After we looked around a bit more back at the long concrete bridge we started hearing gun shots in the distance that traveled across the whole valley which kinda freaked us out so we bolted out of there. After the svenson adventure we got back on the main road and traveled and listened to some more music until we finally hit astoria! YAY! Oh man, yet another amazing piece of construction was the all powerful, longest bridge in oregon, the Astoria-Megler Bridge:

we video taped this part of the trip because it took us like a good matter of minutes to get across this 3 mile long bridge. A man, it was really beautiful. And very windy! When i stuck my head out the window i felt like i was going to be sucked backwards or something, or even lose the straped on camera it was so strong...but it felt reallly really good! HERES A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW STRONG IT WAS: hahahahaha. thanks adam. there was another good example, but it got lost in the transer somehow. after we crossed the gigantic bridge of astoria we had the choice of walking around astoria for a little bit, or the choice to go and explore washington a little bit. When we passed through astoria it didn't seem all that interesting so we stayed on the other side of the bridge and did some exploring of our own. We ended up on some docks where you would go crabbing or grab a big boat and go fishing. While we were walking o the docks i discovered that i really was afriad of deep deep, gloomy water. It really just freaked the shit out of me that i couldn't see what was down below and the fact that i could fall in at any moment and probably never escape its rath...ya...i was pretty freaked out, but overcame it and had a good time:

After the docks were fully explored we got back into the pacifica and headed back towards the 3 mile long piece of concrete and steel. Along the way we found like an abandoned bunker that was used during 1896 up until WWII, when the guns were disabled. It was made into a little park/historical site that people could go and check out. It was really cool to see what a whole of soldiers staried at for probably months on end. It was there for defense but was never really used considering we were never attacked there:

After the bunker wars at the mouth of the river, we headed back onto the road were we just traveled and traveled on the highway listening to some tunes. Weird thing that happened during the driver was a realllllllllllllllllly crazy truck driver who must have had a huge deadline or something cause this cause was pulling illegal moves left and right. We rode our ass for a couple minutes until we just gave up and pulled to the side of the road, barely dodging him while doing so. This guy was so freaking crazy we just had to keep up with him and follow cause we were hoping to see him just fly off the road and blow up into giant flames of somesort. It never really happened, but he came close to hitting people on the other side of the road many times cause he would just pass people on double lines roads whenever he felt like it, the whole time going at about 70 miles an hour. After the crazy truck driver we wanted to go follow a sign to a fish hatchery and did so buuuuut sadly found no hatchery in site....darn. Our trip continued on the road through washington, passing blackjacks n'such. While on the highway at one point the sun was setting and strangly, off in the distance you see, poking out of the now settled mist.......

TROJAN!!!!1!!!11!

YEA, it was pretty spooky. We then kept on going and going until we reached some familier ground....

gooooooooood ooooooooooooooold portland. we were finally home from our 6 hour long journey spanning over 250 miles of road. Very fun. Very very very fun indeed.

the rest of the day consisted of us dealing with devin's computer and going to fry's and meeting up with freinds there and going places for food and then back at adam's house to watch some of star wars a new hope befor we all fell asleep half way from one long ass day. Adam and Devin, i will never forget this day as long as i live. Thank You.
