Has anyone been to the mall lately? I went there today to do some shopping...and a ton of fucking stores are gone. The Gap is gone. Eddie Bauer's is gone. Baker's is gone. Some other random stores are gone. It's insane! Half of the mall is empty. That story really wasn't going anywhere.

I really need to be an insult comic. I'm way too good at it.

My cousin Brad and his wife are getting divorced. He was the first of my cousins to get married. I remember being served alcohol at his wedding, and I was like 14. It was sweet.

Seacrest Out.

So...am I the only one who's not afraid to play strip poker till the very end? I was the official loser last night, and everybody grimaced when I went to pull down the ole' boxers.

I was a little pissed off, but also slightly amused, too.

Word on the street is that I'm moving soon. Is that for real? Yes. Why? When Wes moves out, it's gonna suck ass living at the house. I don't want to live with Shawn and whomever he finds to move in, so I'm bailing. Thankfully, I don't have a lease or anything, so I can bolt whenever, which I plan on doing.

Shyra's in London for the week. I've been calling her and leaving random voicemails whenever I feel like being an idiot, which, surprisingly, happens a lot.

I had to buy a new computer this week, as my old one completely died on me. Piece of shit.

I'm supposed to be in KC for NYE, because I'm supposed to go to the Chiefs game the following day, but I bet I won't be at the game, because I have this feeling that Shawn will somehow forget to give me the tickets, and I'm not about to drive all the way up to KC, pay $20 for parking, only to not find Shawn, and not be able to go to the game.

To finish with a Keller Williams quote:

"Fuck you, you cocksucking motherfucker"

Here's to blowing off all my school work for other various activities.

Edit:

I need to start being funnier. I used to post really funny stuff. Refer back to my March 9th, 2005 post for an example of what I mean.

So...I've read 2 xanga's about the pub crawl that went down on Saturday...one was favorable...the other was not. I'm leaning towards Ziggy's feelings...as the pub crawl was crowded as hell...and it took me forever to get in to buy a drink.

Not only that...but most of the costumes I saw were unoriginal as hell? Oh...you mean you're a sexy police officer? Like those 16 girls I saw at Jordan Creek? How original... Or how about all the people dressed up as slutty sorority girls? Wow...I mean...I saw a few creative costumes...but for the most part...people were boring as hell. I was the only one dressed up downtown that was like me...therefore making me awesome...and the rest of you who weren't original...lame as hell.

And I only saw 2 people downtown that I knew...one of them being Brandon...and the other being Tiff. If all of you were down there, how come NOBODY bothered to find out where I saw so we could hang out? I mean....honestly....I was with a group of friends, but I wanted to see you guys...

Oh well...the night as a whole was a blast...I drank a lot at a party before we left...then went downtown...made fun of a bunch of people...and then went home and passed out before going to the Rams game.

All in all...I had a good time.

I always feel dumb filling these things out, but I'm sick of what I'm currently doing, so...commence procrastinating!

The High School Survey

1.My Grades were?
Ehh...depends on the year. Freshman-Sophomore: Bs and Cs. Junior-Senior: As and Bs
2. What high school did you go to?
Camdenton High School
3. What year did you graduate?
2002
4. What were your favorite band(s) or artist(s):
Primus, Guns N Roses, Reel Big Fish, Ozzy Osbourne (sadly), Incubus, Tool.
5. What was your favorite outfit?
T-shirt and shorts, all year round (seriously)
6. Who were your best friend(s)?
Jas, JT, Dewey
7. What did you do after school?
Nothing really until my senior year. After school on most days, the assistant band director and I would play Jeopardy, and I usually got my ass handed to me. But it was fun. It pissed my sister off a bunch, because she wanted to go home and I just wanted to chill.
8. Where did you work?
Blue Anchor Marina, on the gas dock
9. Did you take the bus?
Only on the way home. Since we had marching band/jazz band practice in the mornings, my mom always drove me to school. And then, when I got my car, I started driving and didn't have to mess with that crap.
10. Who did you have a crush on?
Really, only Sarah Sousley.
11. Who did you date?
Nobody, I was too cool to date.
12. Did you fight with your parents?
Not really, that was my sister's job. If my parents ever did get mad at me, I usually just went upstairs and played video games until the situation diffused
itself.
13. Did you ever get detention?
I did get Saturday school, once. Interesting story behind that: I got it for throwing a kid's shoe out the bus window. So, instead of telling my parents what I did wrong, I lied to them and told them that I had jazz band practice that morning, so I needed to be taken up to the high school. Once my parents dropped me off at the band hall, I walked upstairs, served my sentence, and then waited for my parents to come pick me up. The only problem was, while I was in Saturday school, my parents got a call saying that I was there, and since they thought I was at jazz band practice, I got in major trouble. But come on, that was really damn clever of me.
14. Favorite Subject?
Creative Writing (English in general, I guess), Band (cause I didn't have to do shit and still did well), and French
15. Who did you have a CELEBRITY crush on?
Courtney Love (seriously)
17. Did you drink?
No, but I was supposed to drink one night after a football game, because me and some friends were going to the Eclipse afterward, and then we were gonna go back to Mike Quillen's grandparents condo, get trashed, and then wake up for the marching band competition the next day. Well, one thing led to another, we didn't get drunk, and I had to lie to my parents and tell them that I spent the night playing pool, instead of watching women get naked. In fact, I had to take $30 in one dollar bills from my high school band director so I could give it to the strippers. He gave me this bizarre look when I asked if he had that much (which I knew he did) It was great.
18. Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack all day?
I usually just carried around my notebook with all my papers crammed in it. It used to suck whenever I'd drop my notebook and an entire semester's worth of papers would go flying everywhere.
19. Best event ever?
Probably when I won the award in Chemistry, because normally they send out a letter in advance telling you that you won an award, so you can be sure to be there (because most kids skipped) and I hadn't gotten the letter, but went anyway to hang out with friends. So you can imagine how shocked I was when I heard my name called. My sister said that I had this look of absolute shock on my face, because I'd never won an award. I had plans to drill a hole in the award and make a necklace out of it, but, much like every other plan I have, I failed to act upon it. 
20. Where was your Senior Prom at?
Tan Tar A
21. Did you have a Max like "Saved by the Bell"?
Did we? I don't know, I hung out in the band hall WAY too much.
22. Admit it, were you "popular"?
Yes and no. I knew most of the popular kids, and they liked me, but I never really hung out with them. I was sort of in the middle.
23. Who did you want to be just like?
Slash
24. What did you want to be when you grew up?
Aeronautical Engineer
25. Where did you think you'd be at the age you are now?
Mizzou
26. What was the color of your yearbook?
Varied year by year
27. What were the colors of your school?
Purple and gold
28. What was your school mascot?
...Did we have a mascot? I don't think we did.
29. Did you have a teacher that you thought was hot?
Mr. Fenn (He's SOOOOO dreamy!)
30. Who was the person you hated the most in High school?
Nick John. In fact, I still hate that kid.
