I’m sick, yet again. It blows. When I woke up this morning I felt like crap. My throat was hurting I felt very weak and my sinuses were bothering me. I went to work and when I arrived I still felt like poo, so I spoke to my manager and he understood and called someone to come in for me. I worked for about 2 hours and then went home. Luckily I have tomorrow off so I have some more time to recover. I have yet to record for the Absent demo. Hopefully I’ll get some of it done tomorrow but I don’t want too overdue anything b/c I have work Tuesday and Wednesday. So how about those Miami Dolphins on Turkey Day against those Cowboys? Woohoooie. The Dolphins destroyed the Cowboys with a score of 40-21. Miami actually looked like a really good team, like they had everything together. Thanksgiving was nice. Dinner was very tasty and that’s always a good thing. Work the following day at 5:30 a.m. till 6 p.m. wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. When we first opened people came running in and were fighting over carts which was rather amusing but that’s about it. It was a long day and I’m glad it’s over. So it’s almost December. You know what that means? My birthday, Katie’s birthday, Mandy and my own 1 year and 7 month anniversary, Christmas and New Years, I don’t believe I’m forgetting anything but if I am I apologize. What a great month. I’m going to go though. I need to get some sleep.

I’m sick of people saying “FAYGO”! Seriously, it has come to the point that every time I read that word or hear it spoken it makes me ill and want to kill someone. Thank you. Lets see…hmm. Work has been nifty. Not too much has been going on over there and I have a crazy weekend coming up over therr at the work. On another note, Mandy got her braces off and she’ll probably post about it in her blog soon. She looks even more beautiful. Not a whole lot has been going on that I can think of. I started rerecording the drums for the Absent demo and they sound hott. Yeah they do. I can’t wait for that to be finished. The new KoRn album entitled Take a Look in the Mirror is great. I love it. I think it’s one of their best cd’s and I believe that they are heading back in the right direction. That’s all for now. Happy Thanksgiving everybody and enjoy the turkey for one day it may be enjoying you.

Cheese doodle. What’s a cheese doodle Mandy stated. I just wanted to let you all know that. Not a lot has been going on. Work has been pretty swell. I was just moved from merchandise to cell phones so if you are to stop by Circuit City sometime while I am working you can find me selling cell phones. I went out and played football today with some friends (Brian, Mark, Matt, Josh, Clark, Josh’s brother and Josh’s brothers friend). It was a good time. I injured my jaw yet again. I tackled Matt and landed right on it, the exact side that had been causing me problems. I also received a bloody nose due to Matt tackling me by throwing his arm into my face. It’s all good though. It was an accident and that happens when you play tackle football without pads and such. No hard feelings, I wasn’t angry then and am not angry now. One more thing in this post, what the hell is up with no one leaving comments in Mandy’s or my own blog? I see everyone else’s blog and they have like 10 comments. I know this is for myself but it’s always nice to know that someone is reading this thing and cares about what I have to say. So leave a comment in my blog and maybe in Mandy’s. Hehe. Leave one in hers as well. You will if you know what’s good for you or something like that. Yeah. Back to Monday Night Football, I’ll post again when I have more to talk about.

To start off I finally got a job. I will be working at Circuit City in Altamonte. Thanks to Frank who gave me the heads up on the hiring that they were doing. Both Francis and myself will be Circuit Citizens. Yep. I will be working on the sales floor somewhere near the video games and or CD section. I hope to see some of you this holiday season, as I am only a seasonal employee. It should be a fun 2 months.
Gainesville 2003, woohooo a woohoo a woho. It was a fun time. Mandy, Juan and myself drove up on Friday eve while the others (being Will and Heather) went up on Thursday and Frank went up earlier on Friday. When we arrived at Laura’s’ everyone was pretty much already drunk so that was kool…for them. We went out to eat that night at Chili’s, which is always tasty. We went back to Laura’s and got drunk and played some truth or dare jenga. It was one of the most fun trips that I have taken to g-ville. Saturday night wasn’t as fun in my opinion. I didn’t drink b/c I had orientation at CC at 8 in the a.m. so I had to leave at 5. I tried to go to sleep at 12 but didn’t actually end up passing out until 3 or so. The drive home was quiet, relaxing and overall pretty nice. Orientation was long and kind of boring but hey, what are you going to do. I work tomorrow from 6-10 in the p.m. but will be training so I won’t be on the floor. I have to do all these tests and such. I hope it goes by fast. I look forward to the next day as I always do b/c tomorrow is a new.

Hello all. I can’t really remember everything that has happened since my last post but I’ll try to. I managed to go to Halloween Horror Nights a total of 5 times with my pass. This past Sunday I went with Alan, Will, Melo, Laura, Heather, Juan, Frank and some other people who I didn’t know. It was pretty fun. We managed to get into 3 houses that night but one of the lines we had to wait in for about an hour and a half. That night was decent but not the greatest. Then I went Tuesday with Mandy, Will, Juan, Meghan, Sean, Rachel and Mark. It was raining that evening but not too hard so that was a good thing. There was practically no one there. The lines were about 10-15 minutes long if not shorter. We managed to get into 5 of the houses and we skipped the last and the gayest one for the line seemed to be the longest for that one. Then I went Thursday with Will and Juan. It was all right. We went in only 2 houses I believe. So I feel my pass was well used and I am happy about that.
So last weekend we (being…Mandy, Melo, Will, Frank, Juan and myself) went up to G-ville. It was a good time had by all or something like that. We went out to the corn maze which last year was really fun but this year seemed to be lacking the excitement department that last year had provided. It was a sad, sad thing. We partied it up that night which is always a fun thing especially when it’s with people whom you care about.
Last night, Halloween night, Mark and I dressed up to scare people at my house. My Mom and Mandy (dressed as a schoolgirl [Mandy] she looked very hott [and no my mom was not dressed up] I worded that very oddly) sat out in front of the garage on lawn chairs and passed out candy. We had the garage door a good 4 feet or so open and we draped sheet across the bottom so you couldn’t really seen in. I was Leatherface and Mark was an escaped convict. We both had chainsaws thanks to his step dad and had a pretty good time scaring kids. The best scare of the night had to be this one black kid. He was by himself and I’d say he was about 16 or 17. A pretty tall kid and he seemed a little quiet. He came up the driveway where he received his candy from my mom after say “trick or treat” and then Mark was like “ 1, 2, 3” and then BOOM baby. We cranked up our chainsaws and ran out from under the door. This kid took off. It was the greatest thing. He was like half way down the street by the time we reached the end of my driveway. So good. We had some other good scares but none as good as that one. Overall it was a decent night. After that we went to my brothers where we hung out and watched The Ring. And that was my Halloween. Nothing too great but it was a very enjoyable and memorable night.
