i'm back from my journeys, and they're being more documents over at liberty's kids. so follow my link there. this place will get the more peculiar pictures from my trip. stuff like this one.

i'm too tired to write anymore. later though... yes later.

today i will be writing on the subject of loyalty. and i will define myself once again for the world, just so we can be clear. i have a golden rule. it's "don't you dare flake out on me." that's just so ya know. ok. now i will explain how a relationship with me works. if you like the same stuff as me, and we talk and hang out then we're friends. if i don't like you, i won't say 2 words to you. i'll just ignore you. however, if i like you, i'll chum around. this gets to a certain point when i feel i can be comfortable with my sarcasm (which is about as bitter as sarcasm gets.) if i really like you, i'll start ripping on you. little burns here and there. that means you're getting my attention and everybody's laughing. it's all in good fun. it means nothing. if yer my best pal, you can try to rip on me back, though it will have hardly any effect on me, nobody really gets the last word with me. so yes. if yer a wuss and you can't take it, then i lighten up, but only if you bring it to MY attention. i'll ease up on ya. however, you lose a ton of respect and yer not as fun anymore. me and sensitive people don't mix at all. i hate people who take everything i say seriously. if you hate me back and wanna kill me, then i go away. easy as that, you'll never hear from me again. however, i never regret anything i say or do, cuz i don't intentionally hurt anybody. there's times when i admit i go a little too far, but hey, that's just what i do and believe me, i used to be MUCH MUCH worse.

now, if you got this far, yer my friend. if you're my friend it's very good. once you're in the friend club, you have my total respect and trust and we have a great time. i kill anybody who messes with you and i expect the same in return. though that one really doesn't come up much. i can safely say that you'd never have a better friend than me, if we get along just right. i'm tricky. now, i've started making mottos i live by. here are some of them.

"i go where the food is."
"if it's free, get as much as you can." i.e. all that gum i got from work
"ALWAYS be friends with someone who owns a truck. you never know when yer gonna need it." 
 
and the following people have my pledge of loyalty
1. my family who thinks i should get no xmas presents this year
2. at least 2 best friends
3. my significant other (yes, she's a she.)
4. the president, no matter who it is. even though this one isn't a personal one, i always feel it's good to be friends with whoever's in charge.

i dunno what i'm blogging about. just an update on the new job. it's good but i still really don't know what i do. it involves magazines and like answering inquisitive mail from inmates and little kids wondering where their subscriptions are. basically i just turn magazine subscriptions into data on a compy. i like it fine and it keeps me easy. though i've never liked full time work. 4 days should be the max. 32 hours. that's perfect! 40 hours just kills yer entire life. you sleep, wake up, work. hmmm so i had another weird dream with ufos and aliens and it was freezing and it co-starred julia roberts. even though i don't particularly care for her or her crappy huge lips.

now, i can refer you to places more intersting than this. go see some good baby pictures and cartoons and other weird stories at liberty's kids. http://libertyskids.tblog.com" title="http://libertyskids.tblog.com" target="_blank"http://libertyskids.tblog.com... and of course, a blog that always mentions me and my female significant other. http://skyy.tblog.com" title="http://skyy.tblog.com" target="_blank"http://skyy.tblog.com and you better leave comments!

hey speaking of new things, how bout you follow the link here to skyy's new blog. it's full of stories about me and dreams about me and other things relating to me, i'm sure there's some juicy secrets about me in there too and yeah there might be some stories about her, but i'd prolly be in em too. no just kidding. i'm not all in it, maybe like 90% i dunno. hey did ya know she beat me in a push up contest while i was sick? i did 8 and she did 12. and according to her. my arms were "trembling!" after 8. i'll never challenge her to a rematch, cuz i don't needa prove i'm super strong. however, i can say i beat her in a lemonade drinking contest, AND i have more black clothes than her, and i have a steadier hand when it comes to taking pictures. so there. now she's in my blog and i've mentioned her and stuff. speaking of taking pictures, i have a few new ones. how bout it? visit my links! go here if yer too lazy http://skyy.tblog.com" title="http://skyy.tblog.com" target="_blank"http://skyy.tblog.com

well, simon has left officially now to do church stuff. i'll cya in 2 years pal. for now, i'll keep adding to that letter in my car, i'll mail it eventually.

------------------------- ------------------------- ----------------------

there's my moment of silence. a fallen comrade. so yes. everyone thought i was blue yesterday, so i got bullied into seeing the incredibles. it was good. but not as INCREDIBLE (forgive the obvious lame pun) as everybody says it is. it's a good time killer. though i woulda rather sat at home and played my guitar and laid around all night instead. these guys in the theater were total idiots and laughing REALLY loud and clapping and stuff. so nate and jaron started laughing like em and clapping at everything. basically it was just them gobbling like turkeys really really loud. it's dang funny. hello new ring tone. i'm really popular this weekend. i'll keep busy. i'm trying to spend time with everyone. i've promised to set friday aside for skyy. we're gonna try to just relax and hang out. and i guess this makes my first journal entry of her. don't askkkkkk. i think i'm gonna go visit my sister tonight. that sounds like a plan eh. oh and i've got another plan for the magic fingers. i wanna go back out by the end of the month in a smaller band. just 3 people. we'll be able to make a greater amount of money cuz we won't have to split it 5 ways. plus i'll be able to sing way more songs, cuz i won't hafta depend on 5 people. it'll be more fun, but not quite the same. this far, but no further.

so i'm sick and can't talk. no voice. good thing i can type. we went out to play downtown last nite as the magic fingers. we played for about 2 hours and made $12.50 - we could only really play blanche songs and oasis songs. i got sick of singing a couple of em. with the money we bought hot chocolate for everyone and a dozen donuts. the hot drink was good cuz everyone was freezing all night. except me and the youngest member of the magic fingers, travis the viola player. this is even after i had given up my sweater. i had to quit cuz i couldn't sing the songs anymore. all outta voice. fun stuff. we're planning at least 1 more show on new year's eve.

we did simon's part of the zombie video yesterday. that was fun. we also had the huge sleepover on friday. travis had invented this game a week or 2 earlier called the moderator game. basically 1 person gets to tell whoever wants to play what to do. you just had to say "123" first. so like... "123, build a human pyramid." or like "123, you can't use vowels for the rest of the night." stuff like that. very very funny. here, see for yourself.

so it turns out i guess i have the day off. so i'm using this day to get everything done that i've needed to get done. blogging being one of those things. i'm also going for an interview at some staffing agency or something. i'll be shopping at the evil store that simon hates for cleaning supplies. i'm gonna drop off a movie. i'm gonna buy FOOD! finally... what else? all of this is gonna take a while. but yeah it's quite boring. i'm glad politics are over for the time being. now it's just really funny watching everybody think the world's gonna come to an end and pondering whether or not to leave the country. haha. i'm just glad my vote got to smite my enemies.

the von bondies are coming to town on the 9th. and i've found someone to go with me, against all odds. so that's quite nice. i'm gonna spend some time with simon today and tomorrow before he leaves on wednesday. tomorrow is the GIGANTIC junk out sleepover for one last time. i suppose they want me to make my evil chili cheese dip, which i think i'm gonna do. they should just know that i've made sacrifices in order to make an appearance there. big sacrifices. *sigh* saturday is also a big day coming up. we're doing a couple interviews for captain's flopper movie. we're turning it into a mocumentary. that'll be fun. and maybe if things go crazy, the magic fingers will reunite and play a show on the street downtown. all is well.

hey i just went and saw...SAW. yeah it's hard to say that and not look weird. and if you wanna see if you can go "hey! let's see saw." and it sounds funny. ok so this movie was so freaking sweet and awesome and super ultra messed up and sweet that i've invented a new kinda language for it. let's see if it works.
