| the magic fingers |
| 10.30.04 (7:44 pm) [edit] |

ok so it's safe to say this was the best halloween of my life. i haven't been trick or treating in something over 5 years or so. this year, we were all sitting around, defeated. i asked what instruments we had available in the house that were mobile and not broken. we dug up a really old acoustic guitar, an old viola, and a trumpet. the magic fingers were then born. my friend's little brother was wearing a long coat and this hat, i don't mean to stereotype but he looked like a jewish fiddler guy. our friend spencer was wearing overhauls and a straw hat, playing the trumpet. and me, on the old guitar dressed in my regular grubby clothes. simon came along with us dressed in a nice black shirt and silk white tie, carrying a briefcase. if anyone should ask, he was our manager.
we stormed through the neighborhood playing our improv crazy stuff. sometimes it was just total chaos, lots of other times we sounded really good. people cheered and clapped for us, filling up the briefcase over the top. we were the talk of the neighborhood. we had people telling us to go play at certain houses. we had people invite us in and take our picture. we played handfuls of encores. we were invited back for the holidays and generally adored by all. it was hilarious cuz you could hear us all the way down the street playing these instruments. basically, we came back home at the end of the night with about 15-20 lbs. of candy. split up 4 ways, that's not too bad of a haul. i'll be quite sick for the next few weeks.

i apologize to myself and the world for making this the worst month ever in terms of amount of posts. but gimme a break, i've hardly been sleeping, eating, or spending time friends or family. the sleeping, that's my fault. the eating, i just don't wanna go to the grocery store, plus i'm just not really hungry anymore, the spending of time, i wish there was more time to talk to everyone, but there's just.... not. i'm really excited about the new addition to liberty's kids. http://libertyskids.tblog.com" title="http://libertyskids.tblog.com" target="_blank"http://libertyskids.tblog.com... go check out our new member!
scrubs has been dang good this season, their best yet. if you don't watch it, then you should. and season 2 of arrested development is coming back nov 7th. just a couple days after that, i'll be the only kid in salt lake city who will go to see the von bondies. i love them and they rock. i already got my ticket in the mail and everything. just 1 day after that, simon leaves me for more church type business, which saddens me. i'm making a vow with myself to be there for his 2 younger brothers, even though they have like 50 older brothers already, i just feel like i should stick around. plus i'm the youngest kid in my family so i've never had little brothers, and simon's brothers sorta feel like that to me, at least 1 of em does. i'll also admit that i'm afraid that i'll lose contact with simon's family, and i don't want that. even though they all prolly hate me, i don't wanna leave quite yet.
today i'm deathly ill with a head cold and flu. i'm all achy and bleh. no barf, which is good. but still sick. and i should be in bed, but i feel like i have some junk to get out, which i'm getting out in the form of coughing and writing. i'm not going to work tomorrow, so today was basically mine and simon's last day of work together it's gonna suck being on my own, he's the one who listens to the bosses and knows how to stay on track. i just do what i'm told. hey, the new funny thing we do is making extremely ignorant ridiculous political accusations and ranting. it seems like everyone is doing that anyway, so basically we're just making fun of them. and no that's not a shot or endorsement for any political party or stuff like that. i'm just sick of hearing everybody's stupid argument and opinion that i don't care about, i've already made up my mind. but not to end on a bitter note (like my opponent would do, i don't stoop to that level :p) i'll just wrap up by saying that i'm quite content and trying new things lately, i feel quite alive and time flies by way too fast, finally.

feels like blogging time. i hafta say i've enjoyed my weekend almost too much. i always seem to have a way of making not fun things... well, FUN. whether it's sorting envelopes, going on a walk, watching a crappy movie, or living my daily life. is it safe to say i've broken my losing streak? perhaps. the word streak looks too much like steak. that's just something i noticed, i don't like it one bit. the word, not the food. today being sunday, simon spoke in church and i've honestly never heard so many whiney crying kids in the same room at one time. he did well, and spoke the way he tends to speak, not very articulate but you can really hear the emotion. so that was cool. plus we got to go back to his place where they fed like 50 people a variety of jello, jello, jello, jello, and yeah some pie and turkey and other goodies in there. i just hope this weekend can set the standard for how i want every weekend to go, or at least last me a good 5 days til i get to the next weekend where it may not be QUITE as fun, but hopefully i can change that. i'm a bad hanger upper.

this is a picture of the starring me keyboard. i bought it for 10 dollars about 6 months ago. we discovered it while working at the big red store. it can only play 3 keys at once, so you have to be careful if you seek to write a masterpiece. i rocked the crap out of it the other night. i even have an mp3 of me doing it, but i won't put it up unless i'm flooded with demands. this keyboard has controlled hours of my life, breathed life into lackluster parties, and even swooned many a babes. i'm just kidding on that last one, but wow it's great. if only this pic were in color. what was simon thinking?! it's purple with pink and yellow flowers decorating it. it's very girly, and awesome and i totally rock on it.

wow it looks like i've been neglecting my blog! but hey i'm always around somewhere. there's always some kinda crazy post over on the liberty's kids blog, i've provided a link there on the left. it's very handy. i'm currently munching on a bowl of frankenberry, the best cereal in the world. today we got the day off from the meaningless envelope job. so we sat around a lot of the day and played the x-men video game. then we picked up our checks and finally for the first time i months washed my car. AND we vacuumed it for maybe the first time in a year. it's actually clean. it was a very good day for my car. even the car wash attendant dude commented to us that my car was quite very dirty, and he's a car was attendant! so he's seen some crap, but i guarantee my car was the best so far. we bought an air freshner and signed it and tributed it to our friend jaron, who hates us. i'm currently developing the jaron trivia game in order to determine who's his biggest fan, which i claim is me. i can even sort of copy his sound effects!
simon's little brother has the ability to make me laugh more than usual. i'm also HIS biggest fan, but i don't know much about him. but yes, i think he makes me laugh the hardest out of most people. he says really crazy things that none of you would understand but man oh man. i asked him once again what kind of test you have to take to get into the secret service. the last time i asked him this his answer was, "i dunno? one that rocks." his answer this time, "i dunno? one where you hafta beat up people and be able to kill somebody in 7 seconds."

even though this makes for my 2nd post of the day, i feel a tiny bit obligated to be creative. or at least do something different. lately, every single post i've noticed is just me writing a couple sentences reporting exactly how my day went. how boring. yuck. well, my life is boring, but i can at least try to be witty. this post might not be that long, but it'll get some of the crap out. well, our meaningless job sort of reminds us of the flintstones. the more i think about this cartoon, the more bizarre it gets. there's many flaws, at least i see it with many flaws. first of all, somebody like wilma isn't gonna be married to a retard like fred. they just don't match. he's verbally abusive and she has no self esteem. she's this subserviant housewife and he's this domineering bully who has a problem over-eating. the way i picture the flintstones if you put them in 2004 would be something like this: fred would be a dirty perv construction worker and wilma would be a power stock broker. they just wouldn't realistically be together. stock brokers marry trial lawyers because they mutually agree "it'd be good for the business." ok, back to flintstone era. he's like a mason, what's with that weird club he's in? and they're all white guys if i remember correctly. something weird is going on. what about his job? animal cruelty! maybe that's why dinosaurs went extinct, all that hard labor busting rocks with their skulls. i don't remember much more except that there might have been stuff that couldn't be possible back in the cave man day, like going to the drive in, DRIVING to the drive in, living in actual houses and communities, and not trying to kill each other over food.
now if you'll excuse me, i have a buffalo order meeting to attend :p

somethin big is gonna happen.
at least it sorta feels like that these days. hey did you see the new link i added there to the left? now you can go vote for my little photos submitted all the time and make me lose even more. i got my voter registration card yesterday, i cut it out and put it in my empty wallet. i bought my muse tickets yesterday. they were voted best live act in the world, even better than radiohead. yep. and it's quite true. i'd sell body parts, pay the ultimate price, do whatever it takes to see muse every time they come through town. check yer local listings :p

| sleeping with ghosts |

so last nite, despite being totally ditched by our honored guest, we went out ghost hunting anyway. we had a huge list of locations to visit. we took my camera with us and ended up taking 75 pictures! one of them, MIGHT have orbs in it. i'll post that and the fun time pic too. we went around downtown taking cool pictures, walking through creepy old memorials and investigating haunted hotels and such. it was very much worth our time. the low point of the journey was my hamburger that had a comical amount of ketchup on it. yeah, it sucked.
we went to work today and we've met this cool kid who's only gonna be around for another day then he's off to temp somewhere else. but he asks all these questions about our religion. like he's from new york and thinks we're crazy cuz we don't drink coffee and don't 'party' like him "oh, we PARTY." we replied, "just not with alcohol or chix or anybody cool." speaking of partying... oh and don't forget to comment and tell me what you think of the weird orb yellow door pic eh.

today at the meaningless job, we came across a rather interesting envelope. now, we see lots of bizarre and funny names all day long. but this one takes the cake. the last name we saw: SLOPPERLARDNER. we have no idea how this is a real last name, but it's hilarious. how can anybody possibly take that name seriously or keep a straight face while saying it? it's impossible! future president slopperlardner? nope. mr. slopperlardner, sir. prolly not. yer doomed if you have this name. oh and why do i think it's so funny to picture the koolaid man as a serial killer? picture him with a knife. then his big smile suddenly becomes sadistic. he's not full of delicious drink, could be blood. scary, weird, i think it's great!
