I would like to take this moment, on the 29th of December, to celebrate Bryan Keith "Dexter" Holland's 40th birthday. It was on this day that Dexter Holland, cofounder of both Manic Subsidal and, later, The Offspring. The Offspring were my very, very first rock band. Ever. And, consequently, they are my very, very, favorite band. Dear Jesus. Thank you for Dexter and The Offspring and especially Americana.
Please take time to read this article. Que enlightening.

Swing Life Away
Jobs are doing just fine yea. The hours are getting to me, though. I have lots of homework to do and, quite frankly, i dont wanna do it. I dont think i will. it's just that simple. But on topic now. Jobs.
Neverland is great fun. Music selection is awesome. 120 CD's at my beck and call. It's alot of fun cos i have run of the store. I can do really whatever i want when there are no customers and even when there are i just kinda keep an eye on them and ask them if they need any help or if they want to look at the jewelry or write up their receipt. Thats another thing. There isn't a cash register, so i have to write up receipts and do all the math on an old adding machine. It's quite fun, except some people gets ancy and it makes me want to hurry up and if i hurry up and mess up i have to do it all again and it just gets into one big mess kinda like this run on sentence. Lotsa stuff to do and it's in an interesting neighborhood, if not a slightly tough one. We get alot of theives and it really sucks. I have to be really vigilant and im really just kinda tired of assuming that everybody is stealing and a lot of the times they are! This lady today just wooshed right in and if Ollie, who works at the liquorstore nextdoor, hadnt come in warning me, i might have missed it. And apparently if you're too rough with a theif, they might wait for you to get off work and then mug you. I wonder if i should start bringing my knife that i stole from house of prime rib. hehehe. ironic? yes. hypocritical? possibly. funny? most definately.
Jackson Personnel isn't working too well. I mean, they give me lots of work for what they have and they could give me more if i had more time available. For instance, last week they asked if i could work for Kaiser for a couple months, but i couldn't because of school and i was kinda angry. that was 15 bucks an hour, there. damn. oh well. nordstroms is doing alright but goddamn if it isnt the most boring work ever. and 9 hours a day! doing ties! GASLKDG. oh well.
i like neverland. i like it in general. but it's close to yoongi's house, too.

Squeaker
Old disney movies are so much better than the new ones. They're not pc at all. They just kill people left and right. Talk about guns and gambling and stuff. Not to mention the scores are alot better. Ruff.
Kiss Me, I'm Shitfaced
Well, I'd have to say, I'm probably the biggest dork for blogging my first drinking experience but i need to write it all down and get it straight. So Kavi, being the cool guy that he is, bought us some Skyy with his "super legit" fake ID. After dropping off the car at my house, we bussed it back to Bob's and we played What the Fuck. It's like the Truth part of Truth or Dare. There's a book of questions and you use the dice to decide which question to read like "If I was dying, what food would i like to eat before i expired? Burrito? or Hamburger? And if the other players get it wrong they have to take a shot. I wasn't too good at the shots. I needed lots of chasers. But i suppose that part will come in time. I thought the others were faking their drunkenness at first. They were falling on the floor and laughing, but i could still walk straight. A bit later, though, i found it hard to turn around or go upstairs. Then came the lowered inhibitions. I actually called Lauren Esterle, even though I've called her, like, once in my entire life, and i can't remember her saying anything but "are you drunk" and i think i said "it's my first time". But she got a kick out of it. Also, I'm a lot more violent when im that drunk. I was hitting Levi when he fell cos i thought he was faking it. I feel really bad about that because I try so hard to remember how big i am and that if i get carried away, i can hurt somebody. But i guess the alcohol changed that. Then we tried walking down to West Portal and i'd rather not relate this part because it involves many people getting sick, on themselves and on me.
I think i've pulled a couple lessons from this escapade. Drinking is entertaining for a bit, until somebody's had too much. I really would have had more fun if i just got some pho or went to the party. Also, watch the fuck out before you drink. Make sure there's somebody around who cares about you and is sober (or skilled) enough to watch out for you. You could get into deep shit, otherwise. Lastly, peanutbutter does work to get the vodka out of your breath (thanks Kelsy).
