crisis averted/ lazy monday

Yesterday was pretty funny.

I woke up with nothing planned to do. I decided that I’d go to my mom's house and just lay around watching TV with my hand somewhat down my pants, like Al Bundy. I took a shower and drove on down to my mom's house. "I’ve got this whole house to myself", I thought to myself with a smirk on my face.
With that, I reached into the glove compartment and lit up a cigarette. i tried to look as bad ass as possible while driving (mind you, I don’t ever smoke, just on special occasions I’ll have one). So there’s smoke everywhere and I’m struggling to keep concentrated on the road, all while making sure not to drop any ashes in the car; if you were in the car behind me, you'd think I was drunk or impaired or something.

When I finally arrived at my destination, I threw the cigarette butt on the roof and unlocked the front door. "Hi Jeff" yelled my mom, looking ecstatic.
“What the fuck?!” I thought to myself.
I was completely caught off guard so I rushed over to the restroom and put my pack of smokes in my back pocket where they'd be hidden. I was a little panicked for a good couple of seconds, when I came to, I checked to see if I smelled like smoke. I didn’t.

When I came out from hiding in the restroom, I made some coffee and chatted with mom for a bit. I went up to my room and listened to some records and check my email. When asked, why I had come over, I said, “Just checking the mail.”
It was a holiday, there was no mail.

All in all, yesterday was pretty cool. I didn’t do anything, I lurked myspace and read my book for the entire day. When the Hawaiians came back from Ikea, at around ten, I just chatted it up with them. We talked about school, life, Italy, and Japan.

I really got to thinking about some stuff too. Like why do I smoke? I mean, I don’t crave cigarettes, and most simple reason I could think of why I do was this: to look cool in front of people. It’s really a shame; I do a lot of things just to feel comfortable around people. A friend of mine does this thing where if he needs to fart, he just lets it go; he doesn’t hide it or apologize for farting. I need to keep it real like him.

records and good freinds

i liked yesterday. the weather was still a little gray and i had a full tank of gas so possibilities were endless. i scarfed down a bananna and went over to my moms house. moms house was empty because she and john went to Arizona for god knows what. i check the mail and made some coffee. my turning point shirt came in from Thunder Lizard, that got me really excited so i chanded into it. heres what it looks like:


i googled directions to Amoeba and hit the road, i was to meet my freind Chris there for lunch and a record sesh. we ate at this cool salad bar, it wasnt necessarily vegetarian but it was nice that they were trying. we walked the block or so down to Amoeba where a man asked me for change, i politley ignored him by pulling my hood up to cover my left side. i got two Belle & Sabastien records: Tigertmilk and The Boy With the Arab Strap. Chris didn't get anything.



after i paid for my two records, we said goodbye and that we'd hang out more again. i was walking to the parking structure when the same guy that asked me for change saw me and yelled somehting that started with an M. i just laughed and smiled at him, he shot me a shirm and it was all good. that's him, the guy with the black shirt and a red sweater around his waist.

i got home around five in the afternoon. alex called asking if he left his sun glasses in my car, i said yeah and he came over. we hung out for a little at my house then we walked down the hill to get some coffee at It's A Grind. we talked about moveies and other stuff then we walked back to my place. i got a horrible leg cramp, im so out of shape...

we thought about going to the mall to go sneak into a movie, mindy was working that night. i drove us down town and we went to go say hi to Jordan at the arcade. Jordan told us a story about how he got jumped by some beefy fellows just for riding a fixed gear. (gawwwd i hat this town, everyone is so slose minded, i cant wait to be out of here.) we ended up not going to see a movie, instead i went to go pick up my brother and his freinds then back home. i burned some cds for alex then i drove my brother and i to my dad;s house and called it a night.

yes, yesterday was good.

ps

it was really awesome seeing everyone that i haven't seen in forever, robyn, joe, cory, im talking about you. today is really what i needed, you could say that it got me out of thinking that im hopeless.

k thats all

animals!

today was very cool. i woke up at 7:30, took a shower, and made some coffee. today i wasnt going to lab, we were haveing a felid trip to the LA Zoo in Griffith Park. i exited the freeway and upon driving around, i noticed Jeremy's Volvo was right in front of me. "Oh god, i hope he doesnt see me," i thought to myslef, "Crap it's a red light!"
he saw me. Jeremy's a cool guy, i love the guy, but for some reason, every morning he'll bump into me on the way to class and its weird, i dont know. im not saying i dislike him but it's just weird that he finds me every morning we have class, hahah. so yeah, i chatted it up with Jeremy for an hour until the Zoo opened.
the Zoo was awesome but sad in the same way. after two hours, we were dismissed. most of the class went home, Jeremy said he had work at three. i decided to go on into the city, i went to American Apparel and bought a rad hoodie and a blue shirt witha colar. the blus shirt was too small so i think i'll try to sell it on ebay, no harm done.
so now im here in the Bio lab. i need to acumulate twenty something hours in two weeks so i decided to come here. it's kind of hard to study for so long so i just browse the internet reading blogs or do other homework. the tech guy here just took his shoes off and is looking a little too relaxed, its creepy.
