Walk away

So I had Brian pick me up around 10:30 today. I chilled at his house until about 1:30, he went car shopping.

I rode my bike downtown to meet up with Erik and Niki. I went to Niki’s for a bit, then headed out. I was going to go to Nessa’s, but she’s horribly sick. She finally went to the doctor and got meds, so that’s good. I ended up going to work and getting food. I passed out in the warm sun in the back.

I got home around four and wasted my time here. I was going to call up Adam or Jimmy, chances are they were bored, but I didn’t want to start this crunch thing with the vehicles.

God this sucks.

The truck is dead.

So yesterday I left to go into town around 12. Brian and I did some filming, then I headed to Nessa’s house. I worked at 4, originally till 8 but I closed for Lisa. Mike,her boyfriend, is leaving soon for Iraq or something, so I was nice. Mike shows up around 8:30 looking for Lisa. Turns out Lisa is out with Laura, his sister. I was pissed.

So I am going to Speedway on my way home to get gas. My truck dies.

It is dead. Gone. For good.

I’m stuck in Sturtevant.

Catch Up: 5 Days

Okay, so it’s been quite a while since I’ve blogged, been out and about, not home, hanging with friends, man this is awesome.

Like I said, I worked Saturday 10-4, which was very easy. I went to work early and cashed my check, I need to work more because it was only 67$. I forgot to lock the door on my way back in, could have sworn I did, but some moran came in to order a sub. The open sign wasn’t even on, but the dude just waltz’d on in. We told him we were closed, but he didn’t care. So Eric and Andrea hurried him out, but then he went to the pisser, came back, stared at the menu, and order another sub. Idiot. Work went really smooth though.

I went to Nessa’s after work and we went to Southport Beachhouse. On the way she told me Allison and her were going to a fabric store in Racine that was closing down. I told her to go with Allison, it was near 4:15. In the end we compromised to leave at 4:30, the store closed at 6. I dropped her off at Allison’s. In great timing, Adam called me right then and I headed to his house. We tried to call some people, we failed. Eventually Eric got back to me and we met him downtown.

We walked to the area by the green lighthoue and went rock climbing. There was this big hole area, and if you went down there was a small “cavern” that lead to another opening about 7 feet away. Eric got through fine, I struggled a little. Adam was just…screwed. Eric and I are both tall, which gives us advantages. Adam isn’t so much. Niki txt messaged me, we eneded up meeting her at the Bathhouse on Simmons Island. We walked from there to Niki’s house to grab some cheesy potatos. We ended up playing Clue, too. Man, we suck. We were cheating so bad.

We walked back to my truck (which was at the Bathhouse) and transported us all to Eric’s car (still by Common Grounds). I got a txt from Nessa and tried to figure out where she was. We all headed to Allison’s house, in the end. We walked around, Eric kept on trying to hit on Allison. We hung out there until 10, I think, yeah. My mom wanted me home at 10:30, which meant leave town at 10, but I ended up being allowed to stay until 11. Allison needed to get to bed because she worked at 6am, so we all drove back to Niki’s. There we lounged around, Nessa fell asleep on me, Eric, Adam, and Jessica played Clue and tossed us into it. I had to person & weapon figured out, and guessed the big guess. Turns out I was in the room which I had evidence to…oops. I ended up driving Nessa home, and then Saturday came to a close.

Sunday…Easter. I woke up at 6, but laid in bed until 8, when my mom woke me up. I cleaned up my room, vaccumed the steps, all that good stuff. At 11:30, I left to pick up Nessa. Everyone was supposed to be at my house by 12, well I guessed on my way back with Nessa that no one would be there; I was right. Nessa and I got there around 12:15 and no one was there but my grandma Koch. They grilled Nessa a little with questions. Around 12:30 everyone else showed up. They all asked her questions, and the such. Then immigration got brought up. Lowe’s and its bilingual signs were also brought up. Then my mom brought up John and Jorge. I nearly exploded, if Nessa wasn’t there I was about to drive out of there, I was sick of it.

America has no national language, there is no law that says you need to learn English, and if there is, damn well better show me. If you don’t like a company which has bilingual signs so that it can benifit others, don’t shop there.

We ate, well Nessa didn’t, and I barely did. Nessa doesn’t have much of an appetite, and she doesn’t eat meat too much. I hate pork, so all I ate was potatos and a bun. Nessa and I headed downstairs where we both passed out on the couch watching the television.

When 4:30 rolled around I took Nessa home so she could go to her dad’s house for Easter. I just found out, yesterday, that he asked her about me. He said she’s too young to date, yet she’s 18, haha. She also asked why she didn’t bring me over, which was because she didn’t know if it was okay.

I tried to get a hold of Brian, I was going to stop over there and see how their Easter was. Turns out Lynn and himself were working. Marshall answered Brian’s phone and told me to come over to the Texas Roadhouse. I pretty much spent the rest of my Easter inside the Roadhouse from 5-10. I got free food, can’t complain. I wasn’t there the whole time, though. Lynn told Marshall to pick up her math so she could do it while it was slow, I ended up tagging along. An hour or so later Marshall’s friend Kenny showed up. They wanted to go to Wal-Mart…but the one in Antioch. !?!? There is one in Kenosha, and one in Racine. I didn’t want to go, but Marshall kept bothering me to. I eventually went along, had some fun.

Brian finally got off, I filled up my tank and he drove home (he was taking Lynn’s car because Marshall was bringing Lynn home). I picked him up and we headed to my house. We crashed here, and in the morning headed to his house.

Monday. Uhh crap I’m trying to remember what all happened. We stopped over at Jeff’s on our way to his house in the morning, wait no. Brian and I went to his house around noon and Eric met us there. We needed to go to Jeff’s house because he is going on a trip and I have to bring in the paper and mail, which reminds me to do that before I go to work. We also picked up the PA system, and Jeff’s guitar. Mark and Cory were heading over to Brian’s for a jam session. We jammed, had some fun.

We were downtown with Cory and Mark. Got bored. We dropped off Cory’s car and all piled into my car. We headed to the mall and Best Buy. Brian picked up a Social D DVD. At Best Buy Brian bought CKy 1&2 box set something or other, Mark got a Dream Theater CD. I stopped at my house to get some contact stuff, it was near 5 now.

We went back to Brian’s and watched Social D. Jess was txting Brian and Mark was txting her back. Eventually she needed to be picked up from Fireside, so I and Brian went. Brian was reluctant, but he gave in. We brought her back, turned on Cky 1. Brian and Jess were layin’ on Marhsalls bed, but far away from each other. I txt Brian and told him to stop being cross armed and put his arm around her, well he laughed at it. Jeff jumped over to see the phone, they had a little tuff and soon enough his arm was around her. She had to be back at 10:30, so we dropped her off. I congratulated Brian at finally doing good with a girl. Mark and I should become match makers, pft no.

We dropped Cory and Mark off, then headed back to Brian’s. We watched the last Cky and passed out.

Tuesday. I was wide awake at 6:30. Brian didn’t wake up until 10:30. We did some filming and brainstorming. He had to work at 4, so we chilled until then. I went back home, cleaned up some stuff, ate, then passed out up stairs trying to find something to do. Nessa txt’d me at 7, but I didn’t get it until 8:15. I went to her house. We, Jorge, Nessa, and I, watched School of Rock and talked. Rachel called to hang out, but I wasn’t about to leave Nessa, so I told her no. She txt’d me and flipped out, no reason to.

She was asking why we never hang out, yet the past few times she has asked to hang out I was already busy with people. She asked to hang out Monday while we all were at the mall. Mark doesn’t like her, Brian doesn’t. She told me to call her back if we wanted to hang. I get a call 2 hours later saying that I never called her back. Uhh, I wasn’t told to? She went off saying she wasted two hours waiting for me to call. Uhh why? That’s just stupid.

Hm, it’s 10 now. I’m about to go shower and get ready for the day. Probably play some pool. I think I’ll call Nessa around 12 or 1, see if she is awake. She’s feeling under the weather so I am bringing her cough drops because she has none.

Spring Break 06.

Okay, so yesterday started Spring Break. School was hell, half of the seniors didn’t show, then about half during 2nd period to go to IHOP. It was so painstaking being in school, but somehow time flew by fast enough.

Work was fun, it was Abi, Lilah, Sergio, and I. I was able to get out pretty much exactly at 8. John, Jorge, and Nessa came around 8 to follow me to my house.

Soon after we got there, Jeff arrived, then Erik and Adam. An hour later or so Mark, Cory, Fat Matt, and Grus showed up. At about 10, some girls (Sarah and Jess) called Jeff and said they were being stalked, so that added two more to the crowd.

We had fun, everyone played pool, dicked around, had a good time. John had to be home at 11:30, so that meant Nessa had to leave since I couldn’t take her home. Brian arrived about 5 minutes after they left.

Sarah and Jess needed to be home, so Jeff and Brian took them home in Jeff’s car. Erik and Adam left shortly after. Cory and company were the last to leave, around 12 something. I sat outside and waited for Brian and Jeff. We crashed in the basement, relaxed, talked, been a while since all three of us crashed in the same room.

Brian and I woke upa round 10, I think Jeff did a little after that. My dad left a voicemail and told me I didn’t have to sit and wait for the trees and shrubs. Jeff had band practice at 11:30, so we cleaned up some (well I did, then had Brian put a few things in the trash). Brian gave me 10$, then I took a $20 from my room and filled up on gas, I’m suprised it even started.

Jeff ruined his power steering, and he said it was because he turned too hard, which my dad said could have been one of many reasons. Shortly after arriving, his mom took away his car privledges. We helped him clean it out, one of the punishments. The rest of Jeff’s band showed up, and Brian needed to be home. I tossed Brian the keys and he drove to his house.

We chilled there for a bit, didn’t go anywhere because he had to work at 4,but thought he was leaving with his sister, who worked at 3. He couldn’t find his shirt, so he ended up leaving at 3:30 like normal, I left around 2:30 to go to Nessa’s.

I picked up Nessa and we did our normal walk around downtown. We were dieing from the heat, but it was so nice. It was funny, Nessa had to keep watching her skirt because of the wind. We sat near the bridge for a while, then I suggested we go to her house and watch a movie; and so we did.

We went back to her house, I picked out “Wedding Crashers”, which sucks. The plot is horrible. Two dudes try to bang every chick they can and ruin weddings. Fall in love while crashing. Get busted. Over dramatic wedding scene where one of the two guys grows up. Everyone lives happily ever after, except the slick capitalistic prick.

We sat and talked a lot, I forgot to call home. My dad called, I told him I’d be shooting to be home around 10/10:30. I left Nessa’s at 9:45, then shot to Subway. Eric and Lilah were working, talked to them and grabbed some grub, sat down, enjoyed myself.

I headed back home, got home in time, finished cleaning, ready to sleep.

Spring break is already kicking bum. Tomarrow I work at 10, until 4. I plan on hanging out with some peoples until late, no sense eating dinner at home since I’ll be working until 4. Then Sunday is Easter..woohoo. My dad’s side is comming over, which is more fun than my mom’s side, so it should be all right. I want to clean out my truck that day, too.

Life is good.

Since comming back from Minnesota, last weekend, I have been out every night and day hanging with Nessa or friends, I love it.

Today was beautiful. I went to the bank and cashed my check, then headed to Brian’s. I had some time until he got back, so I skated around the old neighborhood and happened to pull up just as they did. We played some street hockey, then just lounged around after Brian recieved a nut shot from Al.

I headed home, then got a call from Eric. Adam and I met up with him Downtown. We walked around a bit, talked and the such. Mark gave me a call at they met us near Marina Gardens. We walked around, chilled, had fun.

But I’m calling it quits tomarrow, I’m going to actually come home after work, I think. Unless Nessa coaxs me to hang with her.

Thursday I’m going to see if Brian works, if he doesn’t then he’s going to crash here, he has no say.

Tremper Prom 06

Well I left around 2:15 to pick up the flowers, but first I stopped off at Brian’s to see if he was home so I could pick up a few things. He and his family had left all ready for the party to decorate, and all the doors were locked; I was S.O.L.

I picked up there flowers, they were $24, and looked pretty awesome. I went over to Subway for the rest of the time, was nearing 3, so I only needed to dick around for an hour. I got a call from Rachel saying her hair was taking longer and to meet at 4:30. I wanted to hang with Nessa, but she couldn’t have anyone over, so that was scratched. I just sat in the back until 4, when I got a call from Rachel saying she was on her way to her house.

We met there, soon others arrived. We took pictures and hopped into the limo. Man the limo was packed, and it was tiny, I barely fit in it.

We went to Sabrina’s house for more pictures, god do I hate them.

We got to Brat Stop a few minutes before 6, I think. We got inside, waited in line, voted, put in our tickets and waited to be announced. We then grabbed two tables for the whole group of us. The salads sucked, stupid Subway has gotten me picky about veges. The food took forever to get to our table, it was near 8 when we got it, when dinner was supposed to end. The chicken sucked. We had fun though, despite the food.

The dance started, they were super strict, way stricter than at ITA. The DJ sucked, too. All in all it rocked, I had a great time with everyone. I have a big rash on my neck from this stupid dress shirt. The dance was so lame we were going to leave at 10, but ended up staying until 11, that’s when things went bad. We tried to get kicked out for being to provocative, which 5 people were kicked out for - that failed. We called the limo service only to find out they couldn’t give us our limo until 12:20 and that they were sending a bus. Oh man did the crap hit the fan.

We ended up boarding the bus, after much arguing. We went to IHOP, I guess they wanted to visit their favourite waitress. After that we went back to Rachel’s, I sat for a bit then came home.

Overall, Prom sucked, but the time was fun with everyone.

What a small world.

Yesterday Brian’s family came into town because tonight they’re throwing a party for their grandparents 50th. He has some family in Oshkosh, turns out I’ve met his cousin & her friend before.

I crashed there for the night, had some fun. I forgot Prom was today, I have to be at Rachel’s around 4, but I also need to pick up the flowers. I might leave here at like 2:30, grab the flowers, get to Subway around 3 and then eat some food. Crap, that leaves a few extra minutes inbetween…oh well

Don’t Drag Me Down, Or Else You’ll Be Next.

Today was a pretty good day. I was really tired, even though I went to bed at 11:30 last night.

We were talking about black holes in Astrology, so my attention was up near the end of class, they really interest me.

In art Blocher was talking about or next assignment, he was showing some art work from the guy we watched a movie on. He had the lights off, I was asleep for about an hour, in and out. Our new project is much like the one we did first quarter. We have to pick a quote and make another image thing, but we’re using photos. We’re compiling photos into a design, then using Corel Paint to make the images look like paintings, then adding a quote. I’ve decided to pick a quote from Emma Goldman. A lot of people have liked the quote.

We started Calc in Math, which sucks.

In Economics we played Life again, Mrs. Anderson was mad that Jimmy, Adam, and I were playing by old Life game rules, not the new ones. The new ones suck, college requires 100,000 in bank loans, and everything is inflated. You have a chance to sell and rebuy a new house, stuff like that. The Life cards are also reduced. She says it makes it more realistic because now certain jobs have colours to match salaries, so the doctor doesn’t make 40,000 and a cop make 100,000.

She also gave out permission slips for the economics field trip to Six Flags. I’m not going, I hate Six Flags. I hate heights, I hate the price, and it’s going to teach me how to be some preppy ass capitalist money maker. Jimmy and I were talking about how we weren’t going and asking about what we’d be doing, and she got mad. Sorry Anderson, $35 to get in, $10 for food, $10 for misc, week after Prom, hour and something long lecture…no fun.

I went to Brian’s after school, I chilled with Al until Brian got home. He passed his drivers test today around 9 something. We chilled for half an hour, checked out the clothes he bought from Machete MFG. He’s working right now, started at four. His mom had me follow him to work to make sure he drove okay, haha, but I got 5 bucks out of it.

I told Al to call me if things get boring, their family is comming over tonight. I was invited to spend the night, so maybe I will! I also might hang with Rachel, get a chai tea and go to Common Grounds. Brian won’t be off until 9, and Nessa is out with Niki, I think, so everything sounds good.

Wild in the streets

Today was a pretty nice day. I actually woke up to my alarm, I have about three set now for the morning to make sure I’m awake.

School was boring, but it had its perks. In AP we took the rest of the practice exam, along with an essay. Mrs. Abt had some subs left over and let us buy them for $2.5, so I indulged (sp) - it made the test so much easier. I was able to write two pages on this essay, woo! Lately I’ve been doing horrible and getting on a few sentences in.

Chinese was oddly quiet. Lately Laoshi has been in a bad mood and our class is usually full of yelling.

In Gov we jut watched a movie about the removal of the Jim Crow laws in Houston, how most of the actions were held quite to not spark a race riot.

I hung out with ‘Nessa in the locker bay, then headed home. I was preparing to leave around 5ish for his house, but I guess his driving lesson was cancelled. I went over there around four. We’re getting back into the movie stuff, so we should have another montage done, and a real short film.

He had to work at 6, so I picked up Nessa and we headed to my house. It’s funny, I drove from Sturtevant to the southside of Kenosha, then doubled back and back again.

We chilled in the basement, watched That 70s Show on FX, then Charlies Angels 2 was on.

I took Nessa home around 9:30, just got back about 10 minutes ago. Time to find something to do!

The Lost Gospel of Judas–Photos, Time Line, Maps–National Geographic

The Lost Gospel of Judas–Photos, Time Line, Maps–National Geographic
The Gospel of Judas gives a different view of the relationship between Jesus and Judas, offering new insights into the disciple who betrayed Jesus. Unlike the accounts in the canonical Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, in which Judas is portrayed as a reviled traitor, this newly discovered Gospel portrays Judas as acting at Jesus’ request when he hands Jesus over to the authorities.

This is pretty interesting. They have claimed to of found Judas’ letter to Peter, or something of the such. The codex gives a different insight to the betrayel of Jesus. Could this rock the world of religion?
