November 12th Will Live in Infamy

I will be seeing Bad Religion and Pennywise at the same show. It will be awesome. Granted, Anti-Flag will be there, but I will not let that get me down. I will be seeing two of my favorite bands and I'll be hanging with some of my best friends. Good times will be had by all. Of course, whenever you plan on having good times, something horrible always happens. So, I'm planning on the car breaking down or one of us losing an eye. As long as it's not my eye, then I should be okay.

My birthday's tomorrow. That should be lame. But lame in a good way. Hanging with friends and just playing some poker.

And I just got invited to Geer's parents anniversary party. That should, oddly enough, be a lot of fun. I will more than likely be drunk when I get there, but what's a boy to do with a bottle of vodka and fifteen Darvasets? Exactly. It's not quite the Vodka Valium Overdose, but you work with what you got.

I'm a Finalist.

There's a twenty percent chance that my couch will be on TV. I'm one of five finalists to win a live taping of Cheat Seats in my house. If I win, I might have to NOT go see Bad Religion and Pennywise together in Bell Vernon, PA, but you know what? How many times does a dude get to have his couch on TV? Never. Unless you're a celebrity and you're on MTV's Cribs. Fuck MTV.

My Friend Mandy

My friend Mandy is awesome. She bought me the Family Guy movie for my birthday. Granted, my birthday is still over a week away, but she gave it to me anyhow. It's a kick ass gift. Now, I probably have to buy her something for her birthday. Dammit!

That's all that I have to say. Normally I would start ranting about something that no one cares about but me, but I'm too friggin' tired to care anymore. Four hours of sleep in two nights will do that to someone.

I'm going to see Bad Religion and Pennywise on November 12th. That should be pretty badass. I think I might turn the show into a weekend in Pittsburgh. I'm not sure just yet. Either way, I will get to see two of my favorite bands in one night. Sadly, Anti Flag is going to be there. What a bunch of douche bags.

Slow Flies Are Funny

I love it when the flies that are perpetually in my room start getting old. I love it because you can just reach down and pick them up. They can't fly away because they are about to die. It's hilarious. Of course, right now, there are two flies in here that are close to death. They can barely fly, so when I swat at them, they hover for about two seconds and then land right where they were before. That wouldn't be so bad, but they keep landing on my ankles. It's bull-shit.

Thank Sweet Jesus for Old Metallica

So, at some point in the day today, I got it into my head that I should illegally download all of Metallica's old albums. I'm just about done doing that thanks to Kazaa Lite. I just went thru all of ...And Justice for All and I'm currently halfway thru Ride the Lightning. Talk about some awesome music. Back when melody was considered off limits in thrash metal, Metallica did it. And, boy, did they do it well. Anyhow, thank sweet Jesus for old Metallica or I'd have blown my brains out tonight. I'm THAT fucking bored.

Penn State lost to Michigan tonight. That bummed me out, but I'm not one those fucking morons that will lose sleep over their favorite team losing. I care, but I don't care that much. Some people care about sports way too much. That's one reason why I love seeing teams like the Chicago Cubs lose year after year. It's funny to watch grown men cry.

That's why I don't cry. At least, not anymore. I used to cry all the time. Once you realize that life isn't worth a hill of beans, it kind of becomes hard to cry over something. Who really cares if someone dies? I mean, we ALL die. Some of us die before everyone else. Is it a reason to cry? Probably, but it just doesn't do much for me anymore. Do I get emotional when someone dies? Of course, but that doesn't mean I have to slobbering over everything. Death is hardly the worst thing to be scared of. How about life? Life is way scarier than death. Being lonely is way scarier too. Hell, waking up in the middle of the night and seeing the glowing buttons on your remote control is scarier.

I don't know. Maybe I'm more evolved than most people. Or maybe, and more likely, I don't really enjoy life that much so death just doesn't frighten me. In fact, I'm almost looking forward to it. Dying finally answers the question: What is the point of life?

If you die and there is an afterlife then it proves that there's more to life than just breeding. If you die and there's nothing then it proves nothing because you're dead and you don't know anything. I happen to believe the latter. I'm not a fan of the afterlife. I mean, is it that bad to rest peacefully? Who really wants to life forever? After a few million years, I'm sure that even watching this horrorific species would grow tiring. I love ultra-violence as much as the next droog, but it would get old after a few millenia.

I really don't have much to talk about. It's a Saturday night at 9:45 and I'm sitting at home by myself. Talk about being a winner. I'm pretty sure that retards in comas have more fun than me. What's my point?

I don't have one. I'm just bored and lonely and I figured I'd kill some time instead of killing myself.

What a week it has been...

So, it's Friday night at 10:35 and you're probably wondering what I'm doing writing a stupid blog that no one's going to read. You're probably wondering why I'm not out having a gay time on the town. I have a reason. In St. Marys, if you do anything in a gay way you get gang beaten by the church going people in town. What they don't understand is that I mean in its original meaning as in "happy" but they just assume that I'm gay then that means I'm raping and killing little boys. Granted, that's what gay men do, but I'm just happy.

Anyways, back to my point. It's a Friday night and I'm not out on the town. Big shocker there. I figure that last weekend I did enough "going out" to last me a few weeks. First off, Bird, Pat and Ryan were all home for some reason or another. I went out with them until just before 2AM. I had to drive Rye Rye back to 'Burg since his ride over was Bird and Bird was in NO way driving in his condition. Also, he was coming over to my place to keep hanging out.

We spend the majority of the night at Dino's, which is the only bar in town that I don't totally hate to go to. I was actually having an alright night out on the town just hanging and bullshitting with friends. It was nice. Then we had to go over to the Hoot to find Bird. That's when I should have known that something was going to piss me off.

We go over to the Hoot and we find Bird. We kind of just stood around waiting for him to finish his beer so we could head back over to Dino's. I should have just left right away, but I didn't. I stuck around and listened to some really horrible dance music. That wasn't bad enough. Just as I was about to leave by myself and wait for the rest of the gang to meet me at Dino's was when this girl walked in. I know this girl. I work with her in fact. Actually, she works second shift and I work first shift, but I know her from work. She is hot. Super hot. She sat down at the bar. She was just sitting there by herself. I wanted to go over and hit on her, but she's way too far out of my league, so I didn't. I just kept staring at her hopeing she would recognize me and give me that smile that indicates "Hey, come on over and talk to me" but she never did. Either she didn't notice me or she didn't want me to come over. Either way, she gave me no sign that I should approach her. So I didn't.

As we were leaving we were walking right past her and I will regret until the day I die that I didn't just step up to her and say something cheesy like "Hey, what the deuce are you doing here?" That's a perfectly easy way to strike up a conversation with someone you know but aren't too friendly with. But I didn't because why? I have absolutely no game and I have absolutely no smoothness. I swear, when I was born, I was the only baby without a smooth ass. That's how unsmooth I am.

Anyhow, I ended up leaving without trying to hit on her because I know that I wouldn't have gotten anywhere, but now I just regret that I didn't atleast attempt to get nowhere. I'm a douchebag.

So, that lead me to what I like to call the drunken reception.

My friend Russ has a sister. Her name is Kelly. From this point on, she will be referred to as "Kelly" instead of "My friend's sister" which is how I always tell this story. So, if you see the name "Kelly" from now on, you know who it is.

Anyway, Kelly got married last Saturday. I was invited. Wait, let me rephrase that. I was under orders from Kelly that I had to go. Which to me is funny. I've known Kelly for a few years and I seem to entertain her quite a bit, but I never really thought of myself as close enough to her to be invited to her wedding. Either she thinks way more highly of me than I thought or she invited me so that Russ would have someone to talk to. Either way, I was happy to be included.

So, I start getting ready at 1:15. That gives me thirty minutes at most to shit, shower, shave and get dressed. That normally would be more than enough time, but I didn't know if the pants I was going to wear were going to fit or not. I had neglected to try them on after my sister had altered them. Luckily, they fit pretty darn well. And I must say that I didn't look totally horrible in them. That's a step up from my normal appearance. I mean, I was wearing pants. That's not a usual thing for me.

Anyhow, we get to the wedding at about 1:55. We go in, sit down and wait. After about ten minutes, the wedding starts. The entire ceremony lasted about half an hour. It was a pretty casual wedding. The priest cracked a few jokes even. It was quite enjoyable and they didn't have the huge mass that usually happens. They just did the wedding by itself. Talk about sweet.

After the wedding, Mandy & I took Russ' girlfriend Jess back to our place to chill while he was stuck being in pictures of the wedding party. We hung out at our place for about an hour and a half and in that time, I mixed myself two really big mixed drinks. By the time we left, I was buzzing like a madman. Luckily, we showed up two seconds after Gib and Sandra arrived. It was purrfect timing as my cat would say.

Wait, I don't have a cat.

We go into the reception and we find a table to sit at. After about two minutes, Gib and I go straight for the cookies. They were delicious. We both thought those cookies would be the highlight of the night. Not so, for I started hitting up the open bar. I totalled five Captain and Cokes in the three hours I was there and the last three I had were super, super strong. So, I was drunk. Super drunk. That's when the fun began.

AKA: The dinner.

My god, the food was fucknig amazing. I have never, ever had a better meal in my life. No offense to my mother, my father, Mrs. Gibson, Mrs. Schreiber or any of the other mom's of my friend's who have made me dinner, but this was the best dinner ever. EVER! From now on all food will pale in comparison. It was that fucking good.

Anyhow, some other stuff happened at the reception that isn't that interesting to me right now. I'm sure I'll talk about it some other time. Or not. As Bobby Brown would say: It's my perogative!

AFter the reception, Gib, Sandra and I went over to the Gibson house to see Lydia before she went to homecoming with a junior. Talk about something that boils my goat. How dare a junior take a freshman girl to homecoming....even though I did the same thing my junior year. But, I'm not a complete douche bag like this guy was. Boy, he sucked. That's why when I showed up, I walked up to the two guys there and told them I'd kill them. Then I told them I was drunk, so I meant it. It felt good to put the fear of a fat drunk into them.

After that, I watched the Penn State game. Go Lions! They put a beating on Ohio State. It was sweet. I had a drunken imaginary erection the entire game. After the game, I went home and slept like a dog.

A few shitty days went by. I didn't commit suicide like I tell myself I'm going to do every time I wake up for work. Then, I came home yesterday and I found out that I had won two tickets to a rehearsel of Saturday Night Live. Granted, it's not the taping, but it's the rehearsel that happens right before the actual show. Basically, I'll be seeing the show before it actually happens. Beat that!

That means in January I have to go to NYC. It's pretty sweet. I get to kill three birds with one stone. I get to see SNL in person, I get to hang with my friend Drew AND I get to go back to NYC for the first time in five years. It will be excellent.

I don't know what else to talk about, so lick my wrinkley ball sack policewoman!

Wedding Invite and Infected Toe

A few weeks ago I received a wedding invitation in the mail. A few weeks later my left big toe got an ingrown toenail and became infected. Coincidence? I think not.

This is god's way of telling me NOT to go to the wedding because it's going to be depressing as hell. So, why am I going? Because I bought dress up clothes and I'm not going to waste the money. Plus, I'm going to start drinking in a few minutes. Hooray!
