Her First Mistake Was Wearing Stripes....

I didn't wake up until around 1 pm today. Surprising since I had hard liquor last night. I did wake up earlier to my family's noisy bullshit, but passed out like a good young man...

I woke up to a steak lunch. I don't know about you, but red meat for breakfast is a little harsh...

I worked on music management for much of the afternoon and then the 'zine. I have too much to do before I have a real job...

Went to Mike's tonight and this is what it looks like when everyone and their half retarded brother is there. Jebus fugin' Christo!

Everyone kind of left Mike's early and the Blue Note was on my way. I was going to go there in the first place, but someone said they'd call at a certain time and then called hours later. It's amazing I showed up anyway on my Schwinn. Met a cool person. It's nice to buy someone drinks once in a while

Oh yeah, Luke use to play baseball with me. I knew I knew him from somewhere. Muskegon is the jewel in my mother fuckin' huge crown. "Heaven is a place on earth."

I don't go to hair salons, but I love their names. This is a great example why. I know there is better. In Chicago, there is a place called "Curl Up and Dye." If I got a picture of that I would post it.

Anyway, tomorrow is the 4th and who really gives a shit? The British or Washington? I don't friggin' care? What I am excited about is the BBQ at 6 pm at Matt & Andrea's. Plus, I shave the beard off tomorrow leaving a moustache. Ladies, please keep your hands off until I say "go."

I was suppose to title this something. I forgot what, but it was good... very good...

I don't understand this logo for the Silversides. Why is he wearing a German hat during WWII? What are those hoops shooting out of his mouth? Why is there a flag for the Riddler and Iraq? Is that a sex toy in his fin?

This is the first meeting of the bike gang. Aren't you all jealous? I need to set a date where a group of us can get together and raise hell. In the words of Mr. Gomez, "I didn't know what you were talking about with a bike gang, but I think I understand now and it rocks..." At least that is how I remember the quote... He may correct me in the comments box.

I think our first mission as a hell raising bike gang should be to steal this submarine. It needs a propeller to move. I think if we get a little spray paint and moxy, we can get away with it. Imagine a spray painted red submarine. They would never recognize it and we could easily get away...

Monday Night Club was as good as always. Nearing the end of the evening we turned Mike's Inn into a dance club. It made a lot of people nervous, but excited?!?!?!

That lead to a 3 am swim at Lake Harbor Park. What happens at Lake Harbor Park stays at Lake Harbor Park...

Ate and drank at the super air conditioned Vous until 6am.

Woke up too damn early this morning because I can't sleep in this heat. I will need to take a nap this afternoon if I'm going to do anything tonight. I guess we are organizing a group of people to go to the drive-in tonight. Other than that, I don't know...

"Bobby, Don't F*^# With a Girl and Her Toast"

Damn you Myspace. I have all these visitors to my blog now and feel guilty when I don't post. I feel like I let people down...

Didn't really do much yesterday anyway. Just went down to Mike's Inn and watched the Piston's lose game 7. Too damn bad.

Dancing did commence.

Here's Eleanor's senior photo. She's growing up...

Followed up Mike's with the Vous. Drank a little coffee and probably had one of the least serious, but fun conversations I've had in a long time.

Dancing and breathing...

"If I Tell You It Better Not End Up On the Internet."

The dentist has turned into a futuristic wonderland. I haven't been to the dentist in three years and now there are computers everywhere. I went in for a teeth cleaning and didn't end up getting one. Although, I don't have any cavities. So, I had to schedule another appointment to clean my teeth and now have to think about removing my wisdom teeth as well. I will get a tooth whitening kit for free. They had to make impressions of my teeth and I almost puked on myself. This nasty pink strawberry flavored goo went down my throat and I gagged. I had to pull it out or I would have been a horrible site biking down McCracken.

I worked on Damanda's patio again today. The picture below shows the area we dug out.

We have the area all cleaned out and mostly level now. The next step is boxing it off and pouring the cement. There will be a pond and garden as well. It will look nice and I now have lifelong priviledges to it.

Damanda, Andrea, and I had dinner at BW3. They are good company and I hope that Andrea, Laurie, and I get to hang out on Friday. It should be a good time.

Piston's basketball game tonight and that means Mike's Inn. Oh, what? You didn't get the memo. Meeting tonight at Mike's Inn. Where the hell was everyone? The Piston's won and forced a game 7. It was exciting and there was very few of us hardcore folks celebrating. Look how quiet and lonely it looks... You bitches better be there Thursday for the back-to-back victory celebration followed by unnecessary, but very fun, celebratory riot.

Jacob and I went to Racquet's where it was just as lively. Had a bit of a heart-to-heart. Nothing is better than true friendship.

Rode my bike home and appreciated how nice it is to be home. How beautiful it is. How wonderful the people are. How relaxed the atmosphere is. And the possibilities I have for the future...

I have absolutely no plans for tomorrow. I need to keep the party going until July when I have to work. So, if you know of something going on we need to rock out.

"You'll Lose a Good Thing And That's One Thing I Know For Sure."

Where to begin... Damanda's (Cheswick's) mom is expanding the patio and requested my assistance. So, I did a lot of digging yesterday so we could put the concrete in later. We filled up a trailer and a half with topsoil and we're still not finished. For my services, I received as much Coors Light I could drink, a Brat dinner, $40, and a tab at DJ's. Not too shabby...

The rest of the night was DJ's playing pool and talking. That later moved to Mike's Inn. There was some dancing involved.

I wish I had some pictures from digging and DJ's, but oh well. So, it goes. These are nice though.

Well, I woke up way too early today for my job orientation. Here is a copy of my notes for the two hour session:

"Hours of work: 8:45 - 2:45"

It seems like it's going to be a good job. Transportation may be an issue since my ride (mom) ditched me for some reason and my replacement (dad) would have had to drop me off two hours early. He left me a note last night saying "Be ready by 7:10 AM," to which I replied, "Like Hell." So, I rode my bike as always. Hopefully, the school I will be working at isn't too far away from where I live. I guess I might be placed in at Steele Middle School...

I might just have to get a car no matter how little sense it makes to do so. It's a job, transit, and social issue. I hate being a mooch and saying you don't have a car to people in Michigan is the equivalent to saying "I like to give girls herpes." Buying a $5000 car plus paying $800 every six months for insurance, gas, title, plates, etc. for a $8 an hour temporary job just isn't reasonable. Plus, I might need a van or something for the tour in August. Then there is the fact that I hate owning cars because they are shitty and need as much, if not more, attention than a newborn. Cars...

I have to go to the dentist at 2:00. God, I have to go in as a new patient because I haven't been to the dentist in three years. Jesus how time flies. So, I have to do x-rays, consultation, check-up, cleaning, and I'm sure a lot of other bullshit. That should include talk about removing my wisdom teeth. Well, not this summer again asshole.

Tonight is the Piston's game and I'll be down at Mike's Inn probably. I say "probably" because I have been fairly inaccurate in saying that in the recent past. They are down 3 - 2 and will be playing in San Antonio. Piston's thrive on playing under pressure. We'll see. They only bring their "A" game when they are about to be eliminated...
