Abbey Road for days.

Love the album right now.

So since I last posted, we hadn't had an African American president.  And right now, we do.  And I couldn't be happier with the decision the American people made.  I really think he has what it takes to pull us out of this recession. But if not, I don't know what is going to happen.

Im getting all my stuff figured out for the U of M, and it feels good.  I've met alot of awesome people here at Stout but like Obama said, its time for a change.

I've got this wicked cold and have had it since last week.  Im over the Rhino virus right now.  I think thats what causes the common cold, right? Anyway, yeah it sucks.  So much mucus.  That is a really ugly sounding word. Mucus. gnarly.

Im really excited for the Timberwolves.  I dont know why.  I love watching their games, the new jerseys are a breath of fresh air.  Mike Miller can shoot the lights out, Kevin Love is gonna be a stud, hopefully Randy Foye can be Dwayne Wade material like the great Jay Bilas once stated, and of course Al Jefferson.  He is the man, plain and simple.  The most underrated big man in the NBA.

Saw this footage of KG getting in Jose Calderon's face during the celtics-raptors game, it was fuckin awesome.  I dont know why he did, if they have a history or not, but either way it was awesome.

I might be going to chicago in a couple of weekends with a couple of buddies, that would be awesome.  It would be a super fun trip for sure.

Im watching the most intense show right now called "I Survived...". Its insane.  I stopped typing just then for like 5 minuets and was just infatuated with this ladies story.  Its on A&E. Check your local listings.

I dont have much else.  When something is on my mind, I'll be back.

No.

Diggin on some Jackson Browne right now, even though I should be studying for a Political Science test right now.  Ill get to that soon enough.

I just read some crazy stuff that my buddy Peter is trying to start an Art for the Ministry charity almost? I dont know if thats the right word, but he is gonna make art and have people buy it and give the money to the program.  I think thats cool as hell.  Peter if your reading this, I want to make some stuff and put it up for sale.

If someone is reading this and hasnt heard Jackson Browne before, you should look into him.  He is crazy good at what he does and everyone should hear him.

I thought I would update because I havent in a while, so there goes.

Whipe the cold out my eye....

....wonder who's this pagin' me, and why.

Crickey its been a while(r.i.p. steve irwin).  But fear no more my fellow readers and visual listeners, for I am back like cooked crack.

So to fill everyone in on where I have been for however long I have been gone, here goes:

-I've been on this water drinking kick for weeks now.  Ive got this MPLS Police Nalgene bottle, thanks mr. whisney, and it goes up to 32 oz's and i drink like 3 of them a day. Ive heard that you can die from drinking too much water. But i think it has to be way more than 96 oz's throughout the day, right? I should look it up or something.  But yeah, ive been feeling super good lately while doing it, so I highly reccomend it.  I dont really drink pop or soda or anything anymore either, so its gotta be good on the body.

-So hyped on the Beatles right now, its not even funny.  If you ever feel bummed out, or down or any negative feelings, swear to god just throw on some beatles and kick back and relax.  All those bad feelings will go away.  I was feeling kind of bummed earlier just because i have so much shit to do in such a little amount of time, and I just stopped and threw on some Beatles and got all giddy.  It was sweet. Plus, its a good change from rap music.  Rap is always good, but a nice mixture of things can be better too.

-I got a Mac from school last friday.  I got accepted to the art program here and just decided to milk it and use it until i leave.  its so sick. I for sure want to get one for the U of M.  Plus they just got hella cheaper, so more the reason to get one.  Plus my boy Neumiller has got heavy hook ups with programs and shit. Maybe I can coax him into letting me get at them. Who knows though, maybe I get a PC. But Mac's are tiiiiight.

-Got smoked in our first intramural b ball game.  We scored, as a team, 11 points! the game got called because we were losing by 35 points. we lost 48-11. harsh. everyone has their bad days, hopefully we bounce back.

-Got the new John Legend CD, and I must say, it is a great purchase.  Some real good songs on there.  Plus Andre 3000's verse on Green Light is a good enough excuse to go buy it.  He freestyles and just kills it.  One of the best rappers right now and ever, hands down.  I will argue that with anyone for as long as it takes for them to realize it.  Test me!

Dont have much else to report.

I will return with news later in the week.

woah.

whats with this lay out right now? its all different than before. Anyway, im straight kickin it right now. Yeezy's and all, which is tight. Got some news today that my grandma isnt doing too well. I talked to my dad today for a little bit about it and he was getting all chocked up. Kinda rough. Her heart keeps stopping when she sleeps and she is always tired and stuff, so they are gonna try to get her a pacemaker tomorrow. Its super short notice for the hospital im pretty sure, and she is like 87, so i dont know how realistic of an idea it is, as much as i dont want to say that. I havent talked to my brother for a few days so he has no idea. Hopefully i hear from him tonight.

Juan is going to barcelona for next semester. Thats tight! congrats man!

Ghost Hunters is on tonight. steady lookin forward to that for sure. Ive got a quiz tomorrow in history and i still havent looked at my test i got back from that class. So i have no idea what my grade is. oh well, i'll look sooner or later.

dont really feel like writing much more. Oh, there is this super hot girl that Ive seen around at parties and stuff but have never talked to. She is gorgeous. I should talk to her, that would be clutch.

I'll holler later.

I Got Into....

...The University of Minnesota! Fuck yeah dude! So excited but so nervous at the same time. Such a good new opprotunity, gonna meet so many new people, a new major, new everything really. I gotta finish strong at Stout then im out!

I love Stout though. Met so many people that I wont forget and the rest of my time here will be awesome. I probably wont go home for a while just so I can soak it all in and enjoy the rest of my time here. I'll be playing on an intramural b-ball team, so that will be a good time and with a bunch of dudes that I like to kick it with. It doesnt get better than that haha!

Man, its like a huge weight off my shoulders.

Thats all I got for now.

Holler

No one has swagger like these 4 guys

Whats the happs fools and foolettes?

Good news, went to my job yestarday. Turns out it was the wackest shit ever so I quit today. So stressed out earlier, man Im so glad im not there right now. My boss was for sure upset that I quit after the first day. But if you dread going back somewhere so much, why stress out and go back? So many other jobs out there that I could get, so its all good. Gotta get one for sure though. Maybe in Menomonie? Maybe back here? Ill figure some shit out.

All I was doing was loading meat onto the conveyor belt and was totally getting behind and everyone was getting pissed at me. Then I had to clean this grease off of everything which fuckin blew. There was this degreaser shit that you had to spray everywhere and then whipe down everything with. The gnarliest stuff ever for sure. I inhaled a grip of it and my ear got burnt as hell when I got hit with some. I had to clean by this cooker thing that was still on and hot as fuck. My arm got hella burnt and I for sure sweated out like 3 pounds of water just cleaning that part of the fuckin kitchen. All the people I worked with were tight, so I cant complain about that. Red Robin just wasnt the place for me. Now I know how they make all their food, so I dont think I will be going back there anytime soon. Plus, their food isnt that good at all, so needless to say im completely over the situation.

I got this dope ass watch off eBay courtousy of Mark. Except the band is one of those ones that stretch out, so it rips out my wrist hair hella.

WHAT! this chick on Law and Order SVU was totally in Ghost Busters 2. She was the nerdy chick that hung out with Rick Moranis's character. She got ollld. Still has that southern, high pitch voiced though. Its tight she's still around. She was cool as fuck in Ghost Busters. I think it was the second one? It was the one with the Goo in the sewers and that Vigo painting that came to life. It isnt the one with the marshmellow guy though, I know that for sure. That marshmellow dude was tiiiiiiight.

I want to watch Deuce Bigalow 2 right now. That movie is so funny.

Im excited for tonight, im either kickin it with Mark, with my dude Andy Weigman, or going downtown. Hopefully one of the 3 pan out and I have a good time kickin it.

I wish everyone could get paid doing something they love. There is no way those line cooks at Red Robin like their job. I would want to get paid just hanging out with my dog and playing with his face. He's the best dog ever.

I cant explain how relieved I am that I dont work at Red Robin anymore. Hyped on the free t shirt I got from them. SUCKAAAAAA'S. And recipe book! WHAAT! Im starting my own Red Robin beeeetch.

Know whats a trip right now? Melissa Joan Hart, the chick from Clarissa Explains It All and that one which show with that talking cat, I think Sabrina the Teenage Witch? Well she is this teacher that got raped by a student in this Law and Order SVU episode right now. I grew up watching that show, but I for sure hated that show. Its crazy that she is on this show right now. And she has got a really heavy right eyelid. Kinda gnarly. All good though, she is doin her thing.

BAH almost forgot the mention, I started writing my screenplay. Its called "Fuck You, Jeff." The name Jeff popped in my head one day and I started laughing because it is such a blunt, one syllable name. I love it and I think its awesome. And I havent ever heard someone say Fuck You, Jeff, and I would really like to. So I thought I would write a screenplay about it. Why not, right?

At this very moment, I feel like im in a really good place right now. Granted im flat broke and owe mark some money, but I dont even care. Mark, if your reading this, Im gonna pay you, just not as soon as you might like. Yikes, my bad. I got you though, homie. But yeah, im not at a job that blows anymore even though I was only there for a day. I just know that wasnt something I wanted to do for more than one day. Im at home just kickin it, and I got this really cute girls number!!!!!!!! Supposed to hang out this weekend maybe? We'll see. It'll be tight for sure. And I got these tight Levi's on. I want some more of them. Gotta get on that Job tip though! Whaaat!

I love talkin like that, and writing like that. If you dont like it, you might need to get used to it if you plan on continuing on indulging in my weekly(?) thoughts.

Man this watch is painful. Tight though.

I gotta start using bleach for my clothes.

I want a Mac, too.

I hear back in 2 weeks from the U. Hopefully its nothing but good things. I gotta take this test for my Critical Writing class. Im debating on wether or not to take it at home where I dont have my book, or back at school where I do have my book. I wrote down all my answers for the assingments in my notebook. So maybe I can just go off of those? Ill figure it out.

Ive been writing poems alot too. Ill post some up on here in a while.

Im out. PEEACE

DUH NUH! DUH NUH NUH!

Incase you couldnt figure out, my title is in referece to the first 5 music notes in "Thriller", which I am curretly listening.

Tomorrow is my first day at work tomorrow! I gotta know so much shit, its gonna be tough. I hope I do alright. Bah!

Ill keep you guys up to date though. I work all weekend. So I will for sure post before the weekend is over to vent!

Holler. Gotta finish some homework then cruise to Marks!

Once again, holler.

Funny/Weird things that made me think today

Rug Stick. Funny term
Mouthwash Beads. Another Funny term
Horse Vomit. Is it possible? Can they even open their mouths?

thats all for now

So Fly....

....Feels like im takin off....so hiiiiigh.

Songs kinda tight. One of my favorite on the radio right now. I really like that Rihanna and TI song. So sick.

I got a job today whaaaat!! Pretty excited about it. I should soon be a cook at Red Robin in Plymouth. It should be pretty sweet, i gotta go in tomorrow at 1030. I think im gonna be comin back like every weekend to work, that kind of sucks but is tight at the same time because cooking is tight and ill be making money. Plus the dude that interviewed me seems cool as shit *knock on wood*, there was this cute hostess, so all i need are some cool ass cooks and im set. We'll see. Ill keep ya'll updated as usual, although the only people who I think read this are Max, Vanessa, and maybe Peter. If your not one of those 3, prove me wrong! comment on some shit!

Heavy gettin on that eBay tip right now. Mark is my go to guy when it comes to that. Speaking of mark, im pretty sure he reads this too. Mark if your out there, what up. Anyway, dude has been bidding on some stuff for me which is tiiiiight. Dont have much funds comin in right now, but he knows im good for the money. He's been sellin some of my stuff on there too, so thats tight. Hopefully he has been giving me all my money back. Ill cut one of his balls of with hedge clippers if he hasnt though, and he knows this. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Too harsh? You be the judge.

I really hope i get into the U for spring. Ive got all this shit planned out and i feel like if it doesnt happen, I will have another break down like at the beginning of the year.

Travs mom might give me a ride to work tomorrow since im sans an automobile. that would be awesome, especially if it rains. Travs whole family is so clutch. Shit, i forgot to ask how benny did on friday. Probably like 4 TD's and like 600 yards passing. Sick.

Got my hair cut today by this vietnamese women im pretty sure. She was so fast too. Came out nice also, so i cant complain. I hate paying for a haircut though because they are right there and you have to give them their tip and I always feel like it isnt enough. Where as in a restaurant you can leave a tip and just bounce. Anyone agree?

Just got way more comfy, so clutch.

I talked to max this week and he was fuckin HAMMERED. I told him i would call him today but forgot to get a calling card. Max, if your reading this, my bad. I will try to get one ASAP and then call you. Im gonna need your number again though.

Had a super long talk with my broham about life over the week, it was tight. hopefully he starts one of these up. we kind of talked about it and he sounded down to do it.

fresh out of ideas for now

talk to you all during the week.

Any Given Sunday

3 things about that saying. 1, its sunday right now. 2, the movie Any Given Sunday is on tv right now. and 3, I just flipped to a channel and they said that. Kind of a trip

I leanred something today that kind of tripped me out too. I guess a while back, Laura Bush, the presidents wife, killed a guy. She ran a stop sign and hit him and he died. Im really excited to see the movie "W". looks pretty good.

I had a fun weekend this weekend. Kicked it at Stout, went out a couple nights, it was tiiiiiight. Kind of met this really cute girl, but stupid adam didnt introduce me to her. Apparently he knows her really well. Oh well, theres always next time.

My teeth feel like they have to be brushed again.

Going home next weekend and so is Brian. That will be tight. Could also have a job interview which would be money. Because I need money. If I leave Stout, I gotta buy a computer n shit and I want to get a Mac because they are sick. I want to get an iPhone too. those are raw. but i dont really need a new phone, so whatevs.

so bored right now, just thought about writing stuff.

I watched the debate on friday night, it was pretty good. Its weird getting into politics. But Obama killed it and it seemed like McCain was just trying to bully him because he knew he wasnt winning the debate. Tried talking to my brother about it but he just said I hated white people and that my opinion was scewed. I dont hate white people, i just think Obama would be a much better president than McCain.

Im pretty sure my body got sick from me taking some of this whey protiend stuff. Apparently it can fuck with your kindeys major, and I think it did that. Still recovering for sure. I can feel it. Yuck.

Watchin this show about this black dude who find out who killed his brother and brings them to justice like 43 years later. Pretty sweet. Way to go this black guy. I think his name is Thomas Moore. Yup sure is.

Slept so good this weekend.

9 o clock right now and I should be doing this homework right now but its so long that I dont even want to get it started. Fuck it , here i go. Head first riiiiiiight

peace. later on this week i shall return

We ball till we fal, hit the mall, after we, hit dont call, we fill your lives, with nothin but lies....

and I would like to apologize.

I want to apologize for the readers who read my blog like 2 blogs ago? not this one, or the last one, but the one after that. where i had that big long rant about shit. Stuff was just on my mind and alot of things were going on in my head, and it probably wasnt the best time to write something. So I apologize for that.

Moving on.

Just got back from being out with some buddies. Had a good time, shared some laughs, shared some tears. Not really the tears part, but laughs for sure. I've kind of realized that it is hard for me to open up to people here at Stout. I was thinking about it tonight, and I dont really know why it is. I have one hypothesis though. I think its because I dont have really super close friends here. Yeah ive got my boys Adam and Kyle, but I cant really open up to them fully. Im almost afraid to? Im afraid of the rejection because I see myself as so much different from everyone else that Im afraid I'll be cast out as the weird dude or the hella excentric dude, and I dont want some negative lable like that. No one does. I kind of compared tonight with last weekend in that I was opening up to people way easier last weekend because I was around my super close group of friends. 3 of our original 6 were there(me, brady, andrew, and mark. whereas the original 6 was me, brady, mark, brian, peter, and andrew.) and I can totally be myself around all those dudes because I know no matter what, they are going to accept me. Ha, that got me a little choked up, but its true. And being with them last weekend really helped me branch out and be more social than I ever really have been. I caught myself going up to really cute random girls and talking to them. I DONT DO THAT. haha im one of the most shy dudes ever. Thats another huge reason I want to go to the U so I can branch out more and be the person that I really want to be.

Im not trying to knock all my buddies here by any means. I love all my friends here, its just that they arent my good buddies from home and they never could be. It sucks because I really want to be that person here at Stout, but it almost feels like something is holding me back? I dont really know. Who knows. Who knows feelings. Feelings. Crazyness.

Man, writing that makes me want to go back to 8th grade and just skate all day. Those were the days man. Its a trip just thinking about it. What I wouldnt do for the original 6 to just go on a skate trip to all our old spots. damn. And just kick it at peters house and listen to music on his computer. He always had the dopest computer. and that badass couch downstairs. his pool and mini haha. shit was rad. I miss that dude. peter if your reading this, COME HOME MAN! I know you cant with school and stuff. fuuuck.

man, some of these blogs bring me down. i just think about shit all the time and it all builds up and i have to write it. its really helped me though. and you can never be mad at help. Ha. Can you imagine is someone was pissed that someone else helped them? I wouldnt understand that.

I wonder how max is doing? he doesnt update his blog as much as I would like, but that means he is having an awesome time which I fuckin love.

talked to brian for a while tonight, that was tight. He always says some weird ass shit, but always so funny and cheers me up. hillarious. he is going home next weekend and so will I so I look forward to kickin it with him alot. going to the U would be fun. hopefully no ass kicking will be involved, however.

For this next clip, I kind of want to be straight forward with it, and kind of dont. I dont think im going to. I ran into someone recently and they were with someone that I didnt approve of and it sort of made me angry. Not that this person needs my approval for anything and they are by all means free to do whatever they want, I just didnt agree with their choice of person. But I just thought, hey, they missed out on someone else who is way better than this new person and they probably know it, so im just gonna let them do their own thing and ill do mine. I hope that was subtle enough, if not, im sure i will have a good talking to in the coming weeks.

man writing this stuff feels good.

i just get weird vibes from people i dont know at Stout. Where as at the U, all of the people were way friendly. I know, maybe my opinion is scewed because I want to go there so badly, but then again what if I am absolutely right? once again, who knows.

thats about all I got off the top of the dome right now.

I can holler late if you would like? let me knowwwww.

Nothin left for me to do, but DANCE!

So random that that song is on my mind right now. I dont know if my mind/body is subconciously telling me to get up and get down, or just another one of those random songs that come out of knowhere and get stuck in my head from time to time. Sometimes, later in the day, I will hear that very song on the radio. Twilight Zone steez right there.

Went to Costco today which was rad, got some stuff im excited to eat/use. Dad took me out there, which is always nice because he picks up the tab.

Talked to my main man, my brotha from anotha motha, my home skillet, the beez knees, the cats pajama's, the russian jew of the krew himself, MAX! WHAAAAAT!

Dude straight called me from Italy. Some crazy number too, like 80 digits. I was all, "Who could this be?!" and then my brain was all, "It's Max!" So I answered and low and behold, my brain was correct. We talked about some sweet stuff, I could hear Italy sounds in the background. And Italy sounded pretty sweet. Not only what Max says about it, but what I literally heard in the background while on the phone with Max. Heard some dude making a pizza, someone slurping spaghetti, I even heard an Italian dude in a suit actually scratch his chest hair that was poking out. It was gnarly.

But yeah, good to hear from max as always. He said he got chocked up when I was talking about him in my last blog, which made a brother feel good. I had to cut the convo short because my dad had his undies in a bundle about going to Costco. I gave him a swift talking to, however. So dont loose sleep over that.

We had a wild night on campus on Friday night. Shit got insane. I dont want to go into it really, so if you are dying to know, get at me on facebook or sometheeen.

Ive gotta write this paper by tomorrow i think, but I dont know if it is due at midnight tonight, or midnight tomorrow. FUuuuck.

What else is up......ummmm.....had to drive back this weekend to gie my mom her car back, but it turns out I dont have to yet. And im hella low on gas, and it is crazy expensive to fill that ford explorer up. I heard that oil prices are going down, yet the price of gas isn't going down with it? Whats up with that. I dont think we are running out of oil, I just think those oil company big wigs are hiking up the prices so they can send their sons and daugters to college. And the prices wont go down because the big wigs dont want to go back to earning less money. Fuckin A.

The Office starts up this week. For sure excited to watch. and 30 Rock. so funny. Scrubs is on ABC now though, and I heard JD and Carla are leaving. I got heavy into that show, then just got hella sick of it. It is always so powerful at the end. Its crazy. The Janitor is funny though.

Im gonna go dive head first into some cherry pie. No, for real, my dad got this giant cherry pie and its in the back yard and im gonna go jump in it.

Ill let you know how it goes.


p.s. he didnt really get a giant cherry pie, he got a little one and im gonna go grub on it right now. Wish me luck.

Right when things are looking up...

i get pulled back down to earth. Things were really looking up for a while. Started talking to this girl Audrey who is awesome and funny and smart and gorgeous and a blast to talk to and hang out with. Then I get the news that I've gotta give my mom her car back. I have been using it since the summer when my brother and I took his car back to Virginia. So now not only will I not be able to go home as much, It puts a limit on the job search. Although, I could get a job writing for the school paper, which would kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Having a job, and being paid to write. Which would be sweet. So I have to go home tomorrow and meet with My Mom, Step Dad, and Dad and talk about how we could finance another car. God Damit I hate money. Its the root of all evil. I hate how it can either make or break your day. Your mood depends on how much money you have. An amount of something. Its ridiculous. For the longest time I have wanted to just not even think about it, but because of the way I was raised and how my family handles it, I have to face something head on that I hate. I know so many people who dont have to worry about a thing because they have so much of it, and like everyone else who doesn't have as much as they would like, it irritates me. Im not jealous by any means, its just the fact that they have never had to struggle to get it. My dad is having a tough time paying the house payment, how is he gonna pay for another car? I just wish he would sue that realtor that fucked him over. It would solve so many more problems of ours, but dude is too proud to do that. "he will get his" is what he says when I bring it up to him. So why dont you give it to him?! Im thinking about filling the papers myelf because im so sick and tired of this. My family has made so many bad decisions with money, it sickens me to even think about them. It makes me want to be as frugal with money as I can be when I get older. Now I know where Mark is coming from. He's a smart ass dude. He shall be my financial consultant. For free. I should really be doing homework, but all this stuff is on my mind and its hard to read about things when your head is filled with a problem that you cant fix immediatley.

Facebook is annoying me with some things, so I e mailed someone about a problem I've been having and hopefully they give me a sweet answer. I get updates all the time of someone I cant be getting updates about all the time. So I hit them up to see if they had an answer for me.

I wish I was in Italy with Max. Im still so happy for him. I wish I was there so I could just get away from everything and hang out with one of my best friends and enjoy stuff with him. We would have such an awesome time. I hope none of that sounds homosexual. I saw some of his pictures and they are some of the coolest things I have ever seen. He takes pictures of the food he makes and it all looks so good. He should be a chef. Makes such good sandwiches on the daily, I wish I had one on me right now. That would be legit.

Man, I really hope I get into the U of M. A change of scenory/scenary would help so much right now. Just be somewhere familiar. With familiar people. And my dog. I saw this video today of this golden retriever trapped in a tent today, shit was hillarious. Reminded me of Tank. Im glad I get to see him again though, thats for sure.

I just wish I was with all my buddies right now, kickin it at Pats or something. Around the bonfire. Bullshittin about everything. I could just vent to all of them instead of this blog. So much stuff that I wish I could just talk to the krew about right now. Nas was right, Life's a Bitch and then ya die.

I guess the only thing I can really look forward to is getting together with Audrey this weekend, seeing Tank, and everything turning around for the better.

But until then America, we shall part.

Things Im Hyped ON

Man, i really wish i would have stuck with that. I think i got dumped soon after that post, so I fell off. My bad. Ill keep trying to do it every week or so.

and now that i know how to post pictures, it will be way more awesome.

1. Undrcrwn "O Face" Shirt. (above)

I love all undrcrwn designs. They are so creative with their drawings and really base all their designs around hip hop and basketball, which im totally into. So its sick. Go get some of their stuff. But be careful, wash it in hot water. It shrinks in cold. so bummed.

2. Working Out

Getting back into workout mode is always nice and you feel better about yourself. So its tight.

3. Transfering to the U?

Im pretty sure im doing that, as you may know. So im hyped on that decision.

Thats all i got for now. 2 posts in one day. nice.

Back in the New York Mood.

Kickin it in my room right now. I kind of want to watch that scary ass movie Pet Cemetary. Shit is raw.

Workin out a little bit. Might go on a run later. I dont have shit to do on M/W/F's so I might as well get in better shape, nahmsayin?

Still havent really figured anything out for this weekend with Shannon, hoping to get that sewn up today.

Heard from Max today and read his blog. So happy for that dude. I know he is gonna have an awesome time, and im glad such a good dude got to go. He deserves it.

Gotta go home tomorrow and go to those meetings on friday and monday. Which reminds me I have to call over there and let them know im coming.

Ill do it tonight, or tomorrow. i dont know how late they are open. yikes.

Gotta get some homework done. Write a paper on 3 news articles. something like that.

Hopefully I get a job with the school paper, that would be money. Havent heard back from the head of it yet though, so ill shoot him another e mail and see if he gets back to me or not.

Man, this entry is hella boring. sorry about that.

I gotta do work though, I might holler later if i hear from the head of the paper and hopefully Shannon.

WORD

Girl Talk

Listening to his album Feed The Children right now. So sick. All of his albums are so sick. So talented. If your reading this, go get all of his albums.

just dropped my monday-wednesday class, so now I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, for 4 hours. I have 3 online classes. 14 credits. So money.

I am so psyched about Girl Talk that I felt like I had to post something.

I'll be back later

Crusin' down the street in my '6 4

Kickin it at home right now. Lovin it. Trying to get all this stuff figured out for the U of M. Ive got meetings i have to go to this coming friday and following monday, so i've got my next weekend all planned out already.

trynda drop this monday-wednesday class so I can go to that meeting on monday. it would be clutch and i dont think it will be a problem, but ive gotta pick up another class. I shot an e mail to the instructor and she hasnt gotten back to me yet. It would be for a critical writing class online, and i love to do that shit. so its a win-win, hopefully she lets me in.

tank jjust jumped up onto my lap, so its getting really hard to type. so funny. i love this dog. he keeps licking his paws though, which isnt good. sometimes he will do it all night, which gets really annoying.

one of my professors read an assingment i did for his class and he suggested that i try to get a job with the school paper. That would be so sweet.

still havent heard from max on how italy is, but its probably sweet since i havent heard from him. meaning he is to busy having fun, which is awesome.

already watched the office season 4 on dvd. 20 minutes of bloopes=so money.

kicked it with my dad alot this weekend, hopefully even more next weekend. that man needs a few days off, and soon.

tank is still on my lap. his sternum is digging into the top of my thigh, and he has his head wrapped around my body. the other day he was looking into our gas fireplace that has glass on the front of it, and his tail started wagging. so i was like, "what are you looking at?" and i caught a glimpse of his eyes staring at me through the reflection. so he was looking at me through the reflection. so funny. he is one of the smartest dogs ever, its insane.

i dont really want to go back to school, but it should be sweet once i get this class dropped. only having class on tuesdays and thursdays for 4 hours will be awesome. some people might not think so, but im over it. 14 credits is pretty legit, i just dont walk to class as often as they do. suckaaa's.

im hanging out with this girl Shannon this coming weekend. I havent kicked it with her for like a year and a half. i hope it doesnt fall through, im really looking forward to seeing her. she is awesome. We finally just started talking to eachother again. I remember the last time i talked to her on the phone was freshman year at st. marys. I messed up saying her last name, and i think she was mad about it. i felt like a prick. still do, but i've got it figured out now, so hopefully all is well. I think we are making dinner? those are the plans as of right now.

im excited about coming home again in 4 days. does a number on the wallet though, driving that ford explorer around. so much gas money.

i went to old navy last night and picked up some stuff. they have really sweet things for hella cheap there. same company as banana republic and GAP. bet you didnt know that, huh? for reals.

i really like my government teacher, he seems like a cool dude. my creative writing teacher is a loud talker and pretty old, but hopefully he is cool. sounds like alot of writing for that class, but its something i like to do so im up for the challenge.

i gotta find a job! or an internship! hopefully an internship when i come back in spring. I hope i get into the U. i dont know what i will do if i dont. Last time i applied the GPA requirement was like a 2.5, and im above that, so hopefully im good. Ive gotta go to the highschool next weekend and get my transcripts sent over there.

alot of things to do. i should write these in my planner.

i'll holler earlier than before.

PAAAAEEEEEECCEEE

My Life.

So yeah, turns out i didnt get into the Industrial Design program here at Stout. I dont know if i mentioned that before, but its for sure a set back.

So i could very well be dropping out this semester and taking the rest of the semester off and going to the U of M in the spring. Or, finish the semester, and transfer in the spring.

At the U, there are way more options for me. I can build my own major, which is awesome because there are a few different things i want to study there for sure.

So it has been a stressful day to say the least. Lot of convo's with the folks, talked to my brother, a couple close buddies. Man i miss home.

Commuting everday would be kind of wack, but do able i guess.

It would be sweet to get a place with max and mark downtown or something.

so stressed.

Gummy Ache

Max and I made that term up one night when we were grubbin on gummy worms. he was like, dont eat to many of those, you will get a stomach ache. and I was like, a gummy ache? and we started laughing super hard. so funny. Im gonna miss that dude for sure. fuuuuck

so many funny stories of him and I. I want to write about one like every week. It will be an instalment called, "Stories to the MAX!" YEAH! GNAR! RADICAL! BRO! It will be sweet, you readers in reader world wont regret it.

man, that walmart commercial was corny as fuck.

I hung out with krissy tonight which is always wonderful. She dyed her hair brown, and looks absolutley gorgeous as usual. I went to her place, met some of her friends, and she came over here and I showed her the bachelor pad. It was a good time. I hope we stay close. I feel like i act weird around her. But if i think that way, i will act weird. So i gotta be myself. right? right.

we should draft some more readers from reader world, so i know what im writing gets read. wow, say that outloud and tell me its not a tounge twister...

this food tech show is tight. they are eating saltine(spelling) crakers, and trynda eat 6 in 60 seconds. it looks tough.

what i dont get it, how the word "tough" makes an F sound. is it the 'gh'? like 'ph'? english is weird.

My first class isnt until 1220, so thats pretty money. its my earliest class of the semester. and no classes on friday. but im taking 2 online classes. so thats kind of lame, but whatevs. online classes are pretty money.

Thats all i got on this side of the pond, so im gonna cruise. Ill holler tomorrow! yup! first day!

12:34 a.m.

It seems whenever i look at a clock, its always either 12:34 am or 12:34 pm, which is weird. It just turned to 12:35, so thats over.

I need to go get my iPod from my car and upload that shit onto my itunes on this baby.

Its so weird, I'll get hella home sick at random ass times! I was eating earlier with my buddy kyle and one of his football buddies, and I was almost done, but couldnt finish because i started to feel really sick. I went into my room and started crying my eyes out. I called my dad and talked to him for a good 15 min, then called my mom and did the same thing. Luckily, one of my favorite shows was on when i got done talking to her, so that calmed me down. Then i started kickin it with Kyle, and everything has been good since.

I was/am just super bummed that I really didnt get to say goodbye to my dad. He has been working at the Republican Convention, as I most likely mentioned earlier, and He couldnt help me move in. And my dad and I have gotten really close over the past 8 years, and it was tough for me to not have him here. Also my dog i miss alot, but he most likely has forgot me until i go back and play with him.

Talked to my brother today, so that was awesome.

My back is killing me right now. I was sitting all slouched over and am currently sitting up straight and it hurts for some reason? weird things.

Ive been thinking about talking a Bayer asprin everyday because it thins out your blood and reduces cholestoral. Which are both good for your heart, and my family has a history of heart problems. People say you should ask your doctor about it first, and I will probably do that before I start anything.

Dave Chapelle is so fuckin funny. I was watching his standup the other day and he was talking about crack heads and he goes, "This one time, this crack head broke into my car. And the only thing he took, was this candy bar i had sitting on the front seat. So i went walking around looking for a crakhead with chocolate all on his face and I found him and I went up to him and said, 'ay man whats all that chocolate on your face from?' and the crackhead was like 'chocolate?....this is doo doo baby!'"

So funny. he tells it way better, but either way, you get the point.

Im hella tired and watching I Love Money. Im gonna lay in bed and watch it and crash.

Ill post tomorrow and holler. Hopefully I can get through tomorrow without balling my eyes out!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder....

How true it is. I just got all settled in and I miss my dad and dog like crazy. My dad couldnt help me move in today because he has to work the republican national conention. So whack. And of course I miss my dog, he is like a brother to me. My mom brought him up today to me and I started to tear up. Ims tarting to right now just thinking about him. Lord knows how im gonna do when he dies....sheesh. Ive just gotta embrace this oppurtunity and bite the bullet and get over it. I have a car so I can drive back whenever I want to, they miss me as much as I miss them, if not more. Fuuuuuck. Ive just gotta get into the swing of things and I'll be good. I cant wait until the new season of the office starts, and the new season of Heroes. That will be great becasue 1) i will be over this homesick shit 2) the shows will be on and 3) i will have a routine n shit, and be totally money.

I want to start reading more too. I brought a bunch of books that im half way done with, but just gotta finish them. I really want to get the book Marley and Me. Its about a true story about a family that adopts a troublesome dog. I know how it ends already, but i want to read it anyway.

Peyton Manning is a fuckin funny dude. Im sure he is awesome to kick it with.

So hyped on some new Lemar and Dauley. I gotta start getting their stuff in large. Clean myself up a little bit. I gotta ditch the baggy look. So played out. Comfortable, but not baggy. Plus, the parents would dig it too.

I gotta start posting pictures n shit. i think i figured it out. but im at a loss for what to put up.

I might go out tonight. We'll see. I gotta call this girl back in like 8 min. Still havent decided wether to go out or not. I should, go hang out with the buddies. Kyle would stay back though, dude has football in the morning.

Fuuuuck. Get over this shit, Andy. Your gonna kill it this year, and you know it. Sure your away from home, but go home in a couple weekends and kick it at home.

Thats what i have been saying to myself.

LATE

I'm Leavin, on a Jet Plane...

...dont know when i'll be back a-gain.

Not really leaving on a jet plane, but moving to school tomorrow. Super bummed because I have to leave my dog and my dad wont be there to help me move in. It would be way easier if he was going to be there. My mom and step dad will be though, so it should be alright. My dad is working the Republican National Convention stuff going on downtown. Dude has been working 12 hour days since Monday and isn't off until Friday. Champion.

So im just kickin it, trying to remember everything to bring. Pretty sure I got it all.

It was my last day seeing Max until early January when he gets back. It was tough to say goodbye to the guy, but he will have a good time and I can't wait to hear his stories. I sent him this text about some stuff I had to tell him before he left, so that felt good.

Sooo yeah, tomorrow is the day. Im excited to start, and it looks like my teachers are gonna be pretty alright too. I looked them up on www.ratemyprofessors.com . Such a good idea for a site. It helps out alot. Hopefully it does for me.

Ive got a pretty sweet schedule. Monday-Wed goes like 1255-355 or something, and tuesday-thursday is 1220-220. no classes fridays. 2 online classes. and 5 credits over Winterm. 19 credits before spring semester is pretty legit, so I cant complain.

Man I wish I could bring my dog with. That would make things so much easier.

My buddy Kyle moved in to the place today. He said it was sweet, and dude has good taste. So im excited to see it.

Thats about all I got over here.

One more thing. Chad Johnson, a Wide Reciever for the Cincinatti Bengals, legally changed his alst name to "Ocho Cinco", which of course means 8 5 in spanish, which just happens to be his number. God, I love Chad Johnson.

Fantasia

Is a fuckin sweet movie.

I've gotta pack up all my stuff pretty quick and im thinking about doing it today and tomorrow. Or maybe just tomorrow. All i really have left are clothes and random shit to bring. And my TV's. That one I have is so heavy, for sure not looking forward to moving that in. Luckily there is an elevator in my building, so thats sweet.

Im gonna miss my dog alot, which sucks. He for sure goes through seperation anxiety and I feel really bad for him. But home is only an hour and a half drive away, so thats not bad. Plus, no classes on fridays so I have 3 day weekends all semester. Clutch.

Went to Stout yestarday and got my new computer and hung out at Adam/Wade/Bill/Cory/Jordan's house for a while. Had a BBQ and a bunch of people came over, so that was sweet. This year should be a good time if things like that keep happening.

Im excited to see kyle again, that kid is a riot. Its gonna be even crazier living with the dude. I hope both of our other roommates are legit. They seem like cool dudes.

Max is leaving in a couple days, and its gonna be weird not seeing him or talking to him for a while. Hopefully he keeps in touch while on his long adventure. He will have a blast, im sure of it. He's gonna meet up with Peter somewhere in Europe hopefully, so they will have some stories to tell im sure. I really hope Peter moves back soon. I miss that kid.

So bummed, I went to go get my books while in Menomonie last night but the library was closed. Fuckin weak. Oh well, I'll just have to get them with the freshmen. Sweet.

This girl is throwing a going away party for me tonight I think. I dont know if its gonna be a huge one or not, but she was kicking around the idea last night. So we'll see what happens.

Mark and I played Cranium last night at his house versus Molly and Roonie, and we totally beat ass. So good at that game. Thanks to my and marks clutch drawing abilities, and our knowledge of completely random shit, we took them down in historical fashion.

I really hope I get to hang out with everyone before I leave. Im sure I will, but there is always that chance that things wont work out. Max and I are supposed to kick it today, so that will be good.

Trying to figure out this Loan shit for school is crazy stressfull. If we dont get this one we are applying for, I might not be able to stay at Stout which would be wacktacular. I dont know what I would do if I couldnt go to school. That would suck.

Ive been thinking about applying to the U of M possibly. I always think about this before I leave to go to school because I dont want to leave. And I think it would be so sweet to live with all those fools downtown somewhere. Man, that would be a blast. I dont know if they have an Industrial Design program there or not, but if not, I could go for Graphic Design, which would always be legit.

So who knows.

My dads all psyched on the Republican VP nominee, but im kind of over it. Its some lady from Alaska. Im all about Obama. I really think he has what it takes to turn this country around, and with everything the way it is, we could use a change.

I really want to start writing a script for something. When I watch TV shows or Movies, I think to myself, "I can be as funny as that, if not more funny." Max and I were planning on writing one because we have the same humor, but dude is bouncing to Italy, so I guess I'll have to write it myself. Which I am totally cool with.

My phone has been acting really weird lately. It doesnt ring, which kind of defeats the purpose of a phone, so I'll have to mess around with it.

I want to get a job so I can get an iPhone. Those are hot in the streets right now. And they look sick too. But I have heard they cost more in the long run, which doesnt sound too sweet.

Thats about it for now. Gotta go start packing stuff. Sweet, not.

What it is, whatchu' want

Really feelin the Mos Def CD right now. It came out last year i think, still so sick though. Whole different feel and sound to it. Its called Tru3 Magic.

Im gonna try to post links of things that im into lately, or pictures of them or something. I think im gonna have to open like a flik3r account or some shit. Totally worth it though.

Also feeling this dude who makes music under the name Girl Talk. So sick. could listen to it all day. if your reading this, I advise you to stop and listen to some Girl Talk.

Get in where ya fit in.

Super into this show called Heroes right now too, with that Hayden Panetierre chick. She's a looker, thats for sure. I kind of hit the ground running though, I started watching season 2, so ill have to get on that season 1 tip.

This black dude walked up to me at target, and I kid you not, said, "Those are some cold shoes, mayyyne." I was wearing my royal blue nike sb blazer low's with blue laces. I can die a happy man, haha!

My main man Max made me a mix of classical music, which I appreciate immensely. I heard listening to it while doing homework is crazy legit, so im gonna try it out. It cant hurt anything, can it?

Talked to my brother today, thats always fun. Dude is so funny. I wish he would start one of these. that'd be tight.

School starts soon, kinda bummed on that just because i gotta leave my dog. I hate doin that shit. He always knows im leaving too. He'll latch onto my leg like he was gonna hump my leg, but he doesnt. He's like a little kid who doesnt want me to leave. What bums me out alot too is that my dad smokes like a chimney, and tank loves to be around people, and wont leave his side, even when he smokes. So that makes me hella sad. And i know my dad wont walk him at all, so he's just gonna get fat and get lung cancer. and he is the best dog ever. I wish i could just take him with me. Hopefully next year...

"That white T, well to me, look like a nightgown. Make ya mama proud, take that thang 2 sizes down."-Andre 3000

Such a good rhyme. Andre 3000 is one of the best rappers ever. Hands down. I could name so many songs that he guest spots on and straight kills it. So sick.

Im fuckin hungry and want to watch "In Bruges" again. that movie is raw as fuck. Im bout to watch some Heroes though, ill drop a line tomorrow.

Off like a prom dress.

A favorite verse of mine right now is.....

Faboulus's verse from the song Nothing On Me off the Carter III. It goes a little something like this...

I'm with a hundred and one niggas we dalmation doggy Deep
And fly with the tongue so if u feelin froggy leap
Kermit you better think before you ribbit
Don't be murdered over your song before add lib it
I pop up like xzibit
But Givin' im at your crib it's
Not to put no f**kin fish tanks in your civics
F**k getting your ride pimped
You'll get hard tied wimped
Have u in da trunk curled up like fried shrimp
It's been a good year maybe I should ride a blimp
Cause your boy jus stay above the game
They tryna tag em, spray a brotha frame
But your shots can't reach me I'm way above your aim
Go 'head nigga, say another name
Take dis family for a joke play dem wayans brotha games
And I'm a get u sucka
I be scheming with dis keenin
Aimin with dis damon
I'm puttin dat major pain in
My lil man is on ya marlon and shawn ya
Lay da beef on dis noodle
Make some noodle lasagna
40 cal fetticine tre pound pasta
You reach for dis medallion you must like italian, nigga
You only see me pushin if the drivers tired
I work da s6 ever since the 5 retired
The drop top, dey say it's Ocean Drive inspired
So you could call a cab once your bitch fall for fab

Way vulgar, I know. I just love how he ties in the Wayans brothers to it and has it make sense. For sure an all time favorite verse right there.

That has been stuck in my head today, so i thought i would post it since everything else that is on my mind goes on here.

going to Cal Surf and Familia in a little bit. Kind of sucks though because its right before rush hour traffic. Sweet planning Max! just kidding. but seriously, that sucks.

Dropped a class today so im down to 14 credits, but im thinking about picking up another one just so i stay busy. possibly one for my minor? we'll see. Ill keep you "POSTed". that Pun was intended.

Yup.

So thats that right now. I'll holler later

drop top BM's, im the man, girlfriend!

fuckin A right doggie thats good cake.

so hella bummed that my good buddy amar is leaving tomorrow. man i love hanging out with that kid, always knows how to make a guy laugh. thats what i hate about summer, you know? just saying goodbye to everyone, but like my good friend max says "i guess thats just a part of life." and hes right. no one is gonna be around forever. So get used to the goodbyes because they never get any easier. Woah. thats a trip to think about.

kind of excited about this next year, its gonna be a fuckin rager. might already have housing figured out too. might live with some close friends, which would be raw. thinkin about dropping this class and taking it next semester since i picked up 5 credits over winter break. ill talk with my mom about it and see what she thinks. and my brother. he always helps

whats weird to think about is where i would be at without my brother? or where would you be without one or more of your siblings? having him live far away really made me realize how much i took him for granted while he lived here. i never really got along with him until i was like 14, then he left 3 years later so we didnt have a good strong bond like we do know. But that saying is right, Absence makes the heart grow fonder. and its so true because i appreciate him more that he isnt here, which is weird. but when he does get here, its super bad ass (hot rod). i dont know, maybe im just rambling. I do know that I am greatful for having a brother like him, who has been a mentor to me since day 1, whether i like to admit that or not. I am where I am today thanks alot to him. I just wish i hadnt been such a prick all those years.

I guess at the end of summer i tend to realize all the people in my life and how greatful i am for meeting them. All the Krew, i dont know where i would be without any of them. We might have our differences at times, but deep down we will always be the krew no matter what. man that sounds cheesy but its so true. My biggest fear is everyone growing apart. God that would suck, just thinking about it bums me out, because i know it could eventually happen. and i know they say all good things must come to an end, but i dont know if the krew could ever end. We are always going to have that special bond. A bond that i dont know anyone else could have. Im for sure rambling, but this time of year really makes me think about stuff and puts things into perspective.

Im gonna fuckin miss my dog while im gone. I love that dude. as much as he pisses me off sometimes, he's always there for me hahaha. Went on a run with him today and dude was so tired that he could barley make it back. He's kind of out of shape so im trying to get him in better shape before i leave because i know my dad wont walk him, even though he says he does. I can read that guy like a book.

I really want to get these shoes before i go back to school, even though i just got 2 pairs of shoes. fuck it, im doing it before i go back. Hall-ER.

im out for now, check back next time for in depth descriptions of each krew member. that should be fun.

Son do you know what im stoppin nyou fo'?...

......cuz im young and im black and my hats real low. do i look like a mind reader sir? i dont know. am i under arrest or should i guess some mo'? well you was doin 55 in a 54. licenses and registration and step outta the car. are you carrying a weapon on nyou? i know alotta' you are. I aint steppin outta shit, all my papers legit. well do you mind if i look around your car a lil' bit? well my glove compartment is locked, so is the trunk in the back, and i know my rights, so you gon' need a warrent fa' dat. Arentchu sharp as a tack. You some typa' law or sumnt', somebody important or sumnt? naw i aint pass the bar but i know a lil bit, enough taht you wont illegaly search my shit. well we'll see how smart you are when the K-9 come........

I got 99 problems but a bitch aint one, hit me!

one of the dopest verses ever by one of the best rappers ever, jay-z. I dont really know why i typed all that out. i couldnt figure out what to name this post, so i just started with the beggining of that verse.

so its been a while since i posted, and have gone through a ton of emotions, but im on the right track again. the whole break up thing really threw me for a loop and i was fucked up for a couple days. i know some people will say that we only dated for a short period of time, but you dont understand what i went through and how i changed in that time. thats what it was such a hard break up. she helped me open up alot to not only her, but to my MOM which was huge because since she left my dad, ive kept so many of those negative emotions in. And Krissy reeally helped me open up and i had a huge talk with my mom and we hashed out a bunch of stuff and our relationship is better now because of it, and I really have Krissy to thank for that.

Another thing which my dad helped me realize was that, i have never been so emotionally close with a girl as i was/still am with krissy. Not even my mom, which is really a trip to think about. And hes totally right. and when krissy wanted to break up, it was like a major female figure in my life was leaving, like my mom left my dad. And again, people are gonna say, well you barley know each other still, whatever whatever. And yeah thats true to a point. I have this relationship with krissy on that emotional level that i havent experienced.

so thats that situation.

Ive also figured out that if i get into this major, which doesnt seem to be a problem, i could finish school by fall '09. but i want to minor in Creative Writing, so it doesnt look like that will happen. But it does look like i will graduate on time, which is money. I picked up some winterm classes which are clutch, so we'll see how that goes. both are online, and i really like online classes because you can do it at your won pace, and im good at that. So word.

got some new sneakers. 2 pair in one day. there is no better feeling then getting 2 pairs of sneakers in one day. except maybe, more than 2 in one day. either way, its good.

hey rico have you seen kevin around?
um...kevins not here.
thats weird, hes team manager, you think he would be he-
I KNOW, RIGHT?!
-Hot Rod.

such a good movie. i still laugh every time i watch it and ive seen it like 20 times.

got this cd by a group named Handsome Boy Modeling School. so excited to listen.

its so damn hot out today. why cant i just be comfortable

a bunch of my friends are leaving and shit, which is a trip. Max is going to italy real quick, jostlund just went to thailand, peter is still in korea, amar is going back to ohio, pat already left for chicago. FUUUUCKKK.

thats the worst part of summer, saying goodbye. sheeeeit.

I wonder if anyone reads this stuff?

Super Bummed

My girlfriend and I broke up last night, still way bummed about it. I tried talking to people about it too, but it just didn't help all that much. I appreciate people being there to listen, though. I hate thinking about it because it really just bums me out more, but as of right now its all I can think of.

So thats where I'm at right now. Hopefully by the next post I do, which will be who knows when, I will be back on my feet.

Holy Hannah, it been a minute

yikes, i dont even know when the last time i updated this was, and i dont really even want to look.

Alot has been going on actually. Got back from VA Beach a few weeks ago, and that was a blast. Got to hang out with my brother for like a week and a half, so that was good.

I've got a girlfriend now, which is fantastic. She is incredible. We've been hanging out as much as we can, and its never a dull moment!

No job still, which totally sucks. I want to try to get one for the rest of the summer, and then for sure get one over the school year. I really want to cook at this restaurant, so Krissy and I are going over there on tuesday to see if we cant scoop up a job or two. Krissy is my girlfriends name, i forgot to mention that before. my bad.

wow, so i totally thought i could right a ton more but im blanking right now. ill post later on today if i can think of anything.

Holl-ERRRR

Things Im Hyped On Vol. 2

Im hyped on a bunch of different things this week so far, which is dope because its only tuesday.

First off, i talked to my brother over the weekend and dude is back in the US! Crazy. He hasnt been home since November, so its pretty sick. He's coming back here pretty quick, so that will be awesome.

Back to the hypeness

Tha Carter III
-SO SICK. I've been listening to it for a few days, but its for sure way sick. Hyped on Mr. Carter feat Jay Z. Jay Z for sure writes a better verse than Wayne's 2 verse's. But no surprise there. Kanye has some tracks on it, which are dope. Havent gotten through it all since im bumpin some other joints at the moment. But for sure pick it up.

Lemar and Dauley
-Ive decided i will always be hyped on these dudes. Freshest gear on the market for sure. So inspired by them. They should be on this list every week.

Being in VA Beach for the 4th of July
-So excited for it. Its gotta be sick because Virginia was one of the first states, right? So sweet.

Wow, this isnt the best instalment. I promise it will be better. I shouldnt have to think too had about things im hyped on.

finally, waht im way hyped on...

LEVI JEANS
-Picked some up and they are way dope! They are on the verge of being selvedge, but not quite. There is this other pair i want to get too. Brown kind of selvedge. way sick.

thats all for now. maybe post in a little bit??

i'll surprise you!

Im livin' in my dreams, so i dont sleep much....

Ayyy washatnanan?! That headline came from this dudes myspace i peaked at. He's got some sick lyrics on it. dude can write, thats for sure.

eeeeeeenyway, SO HAPPY and RELIEVED that the Celtics won the eastern conference. i almost ahd a heart attack at adams house watching it, ask him. he'll tell you. The finals are gonna be dope as fuck. so excited.

got a couple new cd's onto my ipod today. pretty stoked about that. we got some Deltron 3030 which is quickly becoming my new favorite cd. Del the Funky Homosapian is so raw. We got some Company Flow who i havent really got a chance to listen to yet. But one song on their CD is from one of my all time favorite skate videos titled "Fulfill the Dream". Brings me back hella. I heard it and immediatley thought of the dudes part its in and just being psyched on skating. And i had this CD on my itunes, but no Ipod. its called Electrick and its by K-OS. Who is definetly worth looking into. real sick. So im pretty happy with the selection. Also, i was put onto this rapper named Median. I heard one of his songs of his recent album. the song is called How Big Is Your World and its crazy raw. for sure have to pick up his cd in the near future.

Im going to my buddies cabin in the mo'nin. Playin some golf up there, then kickin it with all the homies at the cabin. I probably wont drink A. because i aint got no booze, B. im not a big drinker, and C. the first time i got way hammered was up there and i puked all over the place and was kissing everything in sight. I think i was drinking Love Potion Number 9. But yeah for sure, just gonna kick it and relax, maybe bring an illegal cigar up there. Real tight. Gotta bring the camera too. snap some photo's

so i found out that i hate job hunting today. so whack. i hate asking for an application. i just feel like a bum doing that. but thats just me i guess.

my dogs totally chompin on himself right now. I wonder what dogs thing about on a daily basis? like, how bad they want to play fetch, or "man, i really want to chomp on my back right now." Animals are so crazy. some dude said on a commercial that animals dont think, they act. kind of crazy like, what if they thought about the repercussions of their actions? and were mad intelligent, but we didnt know it. like, how do we know that they dont think before they act? haha sorry, getting a little too deep but i love to think about shit like that.

my dog was sleeping next to me last night and i usually sleep with a bunch of pillows because i like to hang onto them when i sleep, and Tank my dog, did the same thing! it was crazy. he had one leg on top of the pillow all sprawled out, and the one right underneath the pillow. so funny. and whenever i would pet him, his tail would slam up and down against the bed. hes hillarious.

i will play fetch with him outside and i'll throw it and be like "ball!" and he will go to it, put his mouth around it, not pick it up, and run back to me. I think he is trying to prove to me what it is, but he wants to go in so badly that he just doesnt pick it up. crazy ADD.

best deal at blockbuster today. 3 movies for 20 bones. I snatched up The Simpsons Movie, Walk Hard(one of my all time favorites), and American Gangster. A solid threesome. thats what she said.

I was at the bookstore today and wanted to buy so many books. I have so many to finish though. I came across another book by Sidney Poitier that he pretty much wrote for his great granddaughter which i think is fuckin epic. thats so sick. i want to do that shit. anyway, looked tight. and if its as good as the one im reading, i might have to scoop it up. There was another one that was called "The Office and Philosophy" basically relating philosphy to the american and british versions of The Office. I thought about getting it, but i thought it might be way too over my head. so i denied it. There was another book about chris farley i might go back and get. looks way sick. it was like a bunch of little stories from people throughout his life just talking about their experiences with him. looked real sick.

tried this chocolate protein powder with water last night and it was waaayyy too gnarly. so i stuck with milk. so good. gotta get that beach bod before VA beach, nah'mean!?

thats about it for now. holler early or later, whichever you prefer.

I break bread, ribs, hundred doller bills....

I thought i might come at you dedicated readers with a little something new for this post, and posts in the future. It will be a segment called "Thing I'm Hyped On" and will feature one thing i am WAY hyped on. So let me start this thang off with a bang.

Things Im Hyped On
-NBA Playoffs
especially this year. so awesome and exciting to watch. Ive got Celts and Lakers in the finals. that would be bomb. Celts in 7. Soo sick.

-KOOL108
-could be the best radio station in Minnesota right now. With the state of radio hip hop as it is, and that crappy Nickleback music, im way into oldies right now.

-Skating
im not very good whatsoever, but its still way fun to kick around new tricks and possibly land them. still havent figured out the kickflip or heelflip. all this time, and really no progression haha. but its all good, i have fun with it and its all that matters, right?

-Spec Boogie
-easily the most underrated underground artist. I got his mix tape Brass Knuckle Rap Hustle for free when i ordered a shirt once. SO SICK. his content is on point, and beat are hot. what more could you want?

and now, for the thing im WAY hyped on....

THE GI JOE movie that is coming out!!

SOO solid. ok yeah, the only costume that looks way on point is Snake Eyes, but he is all that matters. The cast is pretty solid too except for Marlon Wayans? Out of no where i guess, but im sure he can make it work. Back to the costumes. Alot of them look like straight wet suit or scuba diving suits, its weird. Not the same costumes i have on my dudes in the garage.

Either way, im hella excited about it. SO many haters out there though. Fuck em though, right?

Ill holler tomorrow.

SKEET!

Jimminiy Jillickers its been a while...

Back on the table like dinner time.

Whats up hoes and hoettes. Its been a minute since i last wrote on this bitch, so let me keep you up to speed with happenings in the life of Andy.

School is over so that means summer has begun. With summer comes awesomeness. I dont have a job yet, which is kind of good and bad. good because i can kick it all the time, which i am hella good at. and Bad because i dont get paid for that. I was supposed to work where my mom works, so i was counting on that, but it fell through, which is hella lame.

Summer has been trill so far though, alot of hanging out, skating, just being outside is fan friggun tastic. especially when it is nice as fuck, as it has been the last few days.

My brother comes home the 17th, which i am looking forward to. Havent seen him in like 8 years, thats awesome. Just kidding, that line was from Old School. I havent seen him in like a year, so it will be nice to hang. Then im gonna be with him for like 2 weeks after that. going out to VA beach. And hopefully im going to be there over the 4th. Im sure they do some huge thing since Virginia was one of the first states and all, right? We'll figure it out.

Ive been doing alot of thinking lately, and i kind of miss school. The whole atmosphere. Meeting new people all the time. Alot of purdy ladies. At home i hang out with the same dudes all the time and rarely chicks. Dont get me wrong, i love the krew, but meeting new people is the bomb diggs. Plus you get sick of people after you hang out with them too much.

Im reading alot of books lately which is a new thing for me. I dont know how to read, so im trying my best. Just kidding of course, but i never thought i would be a dude that actually enjoyed reading stuff. Some real good books out there, and im psyched im starting to get into it.

My step dads brother just died of cancer which is way whack. i didnt know the dude, but if he was as cool as my step dad is, he was a super legit dude. i think he had some kids too, which definetly doesnt help the situation. I never met the guy, but head nothing but good things. I guess everyone is doing alright with it, but really, how well can you do when someone close to you dies?

A girl that i sort of knew just died too, which really makes you put things into perspective. She had a crush on me once but we never hung out or anything. Its just crazy to think that things can go down like that. My buddy brett was talking about it and said "yeah i went to the wake and it was open casket and it was crazy to see her just laying there, and i was thinking to myself 'damn, i was just partying with you last year at school." Life is precious for sure, so dont take anything for granted.

I watched the movie 'We Own the Night' today and it was super dope. Cop family type movie that i could sort of relate to. There was a brother in it named Joe(my brothers name) and the dad was a police cheif(my dad is also a cop, not a cheif however). It just kind of really hit home for me. I also watched 'Dan in Real Life' which i thought was a good movie. I watched it with 3 other buddies, which wasnt too smart. I guess we thought it would be way funnier, but it was real heart warming. Not a movie 3 dudes would usually watch together.

Just had a puke burp. Man i hate those. Just thought i would share that since you readers are reading my thoughts.

I really want to get away. I dont drink. I dont smoke. All my buddies do those things, its almost like i dont really fit in. Im the odd man out. Im the goose in a group of ducks. Fuck it though, id rather not do that shit so i dont have to 'fit in' like other people seem they need to do. You dont need that shit to have fun. Sure, it sometimes makes things way more fun, but i think its almost better laughing at drunk and high people. You shouldnt have to try to fit in. If your trying to fit in, stop. trying to fit? that doesnt work. i dont know if that really makes sense, but then again i dont really care if it doesnt. im typing what is on my mind, and you are reading it. so sit back and enjoy the show.

know what i really hate, almost more than anything? when people steal your lingo. granted, i know it can rub off on you if you hang out with that person alot, but when you go out of your way to say exactly what that person would say, when your with that person, makes me want to fight someone. dont be someone your not. and plus, come up with your own material. if you say things that some other people say way more often than you, your trying to fit in. and theres that 'trying to fit' thing again. but fuck it i guess. if your not clever enough to come up with your own lingo, it isnt the worst thing in the world. just dont use what other people say all the time.

I dont get how some writers for TV shows do that either. The actors get most of the credit. It would drive me insane. I feel like i do that sometimes. Actually, most of the time. When people say things i know i came up with, i feel cheated. Now, you may look at that as self centered, but dont tell me you have never felt that way before. Im just saying it right now because everyone cares so much about their image, they are afraid to say it and be ridiculed.

Man, that felt good. Really good. Venting is ballerific.

I hope everyone on the face of the earth reads this.

Im ghost. I figured out my password, so I'll be updating alot more now.

Holler

FOR REAL

Back again from a little Hiatus. Nothing too exciting, but I will explain. Pretty hyped on some Lupe songs right now, he's a super real rapper. Pretty sick. Thought of this new idea for a shirt, and pretty excited about it. Hopefully we will get that into production reeeal soon.

Met this girl at this house party and totally hit it off with her, but im pretty sure it was a one night thing, which kind of sucks because i was kind of diggin her. We dont really know eachother, but its all good if she just wanted to make out with someone. Everything happens for a reason, right? So all good in my book.

Ive been swamped with a bunch of school work. Done with 2 of them, gotta hand in this paper though. Its a sci fi story called "Liquid Life" Its a pretty cool concept and we will see how it goes over with the teach. I also want to re make the thriller video with the KREW. I think that would be hella sick.

Hella nice out lately, i really want to go golfing. Been skating alot and realized that cup soles are way easier to skate in than vulcanized. Vulcanized take waaay long to break in and actually get good flick out of it, where as cup coles have good flick out the box.

I gotta finish this paper and send it to my teach and see what he thinks.

LATE

In Magnolia's Room.....

Where I will be waiting.....for youuuuu. Thats a dope song by Anthony Hamilton. Its called Magnolias Room. Feelin pretty good right now. Figured out my schedule for next year and found out that i could very easily get into the Industrial Design program here at Stout. Bomb. Annnnddd i would get a Mac next year. HELLA! Ive got some soccer to play tonight, and i have realized i am pretty out of shape, which sucks. but whatevs.

And what is with congress getting involved with sports n shit? So lame. Our economy is horse shit, and all our congress can talk about is steroids in baseball and how the BCS is set up. Fuckin retarded.

I gotta do some work then get to soccer. Ill holler later people.

Listen to the Wind BLOOWW

HELLA WIND today. Im debating on whether or not to go out skating. I most likely will, just not at this very moment since i need to fill you dedicated readers in on my day.

My latest class of Tuesdays and Thursdays just got cancelled for today because the sound didnt work on our teach's computer, and we needed it for whatever we were learning today. Mad excited about it thought because that class can be hella boring most of the time. The teacher is a softy and an all around cool dude, so it isnt too bad.

Ive gotta figure out my schedule for first semester for next year and i dont know if im gonna take any design classes yet because i dont know if i got into the design program yet. So i might crank out an English Minor next semester because i only need 12-15 credits for it. But, i will talk to my counselor about it tomorrow

Right now im talkin to Mark Bailey on AIM. Always an experience with that kid. SO many inside jokes. CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE ACCCCKKKK! Word Life.

Sorry about the hella boring post today. Jackie Robinson broke into the MLB 61 years ago today. Imagine what sports would be like without him. Insane.

Anyway, once again, sorry about the boring post. I'll create an earthquake tomorrow. I dont know if thats a good thing or not, you decide and get back to me.

Coagulate Count: 2

You may be asking yourself, "What the frick does the title of this post mean?" Well let me fill that void. This lady came into my Psych class today and was talking about Hypnosis. She said the word "Coagulate" 2 times in less than an hour. I was impressed, but at the same time asked myself, "How many times have you heard that word?" I'm pretty sure it was twice before today and after that lecture, it increased exponentially.

I've been writing down random thoughts a lot lately and it really helps if you have a lot of stuff on your mind. I also wonder sometimes if I am crazy. I am a really goofy person, but thats cool with me. I dig being goofy, it makes life that much more fun. Some people are weirded out by outspoken, goofy people. And to each their own, they have the right to be weirded out. But look inside yourself and you will realize that you are as goofy as the person writing this. And if you are so shallow that you cant look past the fact that some peoples' personalities are too different from yours, I don't have time for you. I used to be that way, but really realized that life is too short to judge people and hold yourself above everyone else. So get your head out of the clouds, bring that head of yours down to size, and realize that you are no different from everyone else.

This new song is out called Teenage Love Affair by Alicia Keys. Its super sick, give it a listen if you get a chance. Alicia Keys is sick. Just watched Smokin Aces over the weekend and she was smokin hot in that too.

I emailed my brother and told him about this little blog thing and i told him to make one, hopefully he does. That would be sweet hearing from him more.

Its so nice outside, for sure gonna go out and skate later. Or do something active. I've gotta finish that paper still, and do some other shit but not until later tonight. 3 papers to write and a presentation to do before the end of April. PERFECT!

out for not, check in later?

A New Hope

BOOYA! In yo' face like mace! Whats up blog readers, Andy Whisney here. One of my best friends, Peter Kang, has one of these things and I thought, "Hey, why doesn't me have one?" But in better english I hope. So i decided to make one. I've had alot of stuff running through my head lately and i thought that this might help clear some space in the cabesa, and maybe even give you readers a chuckle or two.

Im watchin this show right now onthe food network with this guy named Bobby Flay where he goes and challenges small restaurant owners to a "cookoff." And he tried to make what they are known for, but make it alot better. He seems like a dick just based on the shows premise. What a nice guy. "I have an idea for a show. Lets go to some mom and pop restaurants and try to make better food than they do. They aren't in danger of going out of business anyway." On the other hand, the place gets hella publicity, which ultimatley can keep them in business. Ipso facto,....im your boss.(that line is from Dodgeball)

I've been gettin into sushi lately and if you aren't into it yet, i suggest you read up on it. especially the California Roll. DEEEEELIIISSSHHHHH.

Went home this weekend and kicked it with Mark, Juan, Andrew, Max and Trav. This took place at max's cousins house. I heard rumors that Max was sad i wasn't socializing alot with some people that showed up and I gotsta' clear the air on it. Its not because i didnt like certain people there, or that i was pissed or anything, its just that sometimes when i go to parties or gatherings, i just like to kick it by myself. Its never personal or anything, its just how i am i guess.

I've got to get to this paper i gotta write on this play that i saw for this theatre class im in. wow, thats kind of an interesting sentence. makes me chuckle. i could have just said "ive gotta write a paper on this play I saw." but i decided to make you readers, read on. after all, it is your job. right?

I feel im starting to ramble, but i'm feelin fine about it.

I give this first post, a C+. Not too good, but not too bad.

I leave you with this question: What is the opposite of the word "The"?
