Some highlights of the recent weeks.
In our most recent mushroom trip we discussed such important and relevant topics such as:
-Pat and Carmen saw ducks by this lake, and claimed they were talking to them. We thought they were discussing Duckenomics. Economics for ducks. And how they would use eggs for currency because they do not have a form of paper money.
-I personally claimed they were talking about a peace treaty between the Duck world, and the human world. They stop pooping all over the sidewalk, and we stop running them over with our cars. Although I did not trust them at the time, I would've been willing to sign the treaty.
-Also, I briefly mentioned the only time the ducks have ever crossed over into the human world, was the Mighty Ducks movie series, and that is when Pat reminded me that they weren't actual ducks.
-We had to deal with their cracked out neighbor Barry, this 36 year old dude that Dan just let in lol. So Dan preceded to jump around the apartment yelling, trying to freak him out and get him to leave, but the BARRYer was unphased. Eventually he was out of our hair.
-Me and Dan attempted to watch Curb Your Enthusiasm but the stupid things Larry David does gives me too much anxiety when I'm tripping.
-We watched some parts of stepbrothers, and Pat CRIED. Tears of laughter of course. But Dan kept on rewinding to the part where the guy is like "POW!!" and "He will eat your dick, like kobayashi! mahahahdhad" Hahah it was awesome.
-OH, and The Beatles "Yellow Submarine" movie has to be the COOLEST movie Ive ever watched under the influence. I do not even wanna know the type of shit they were doing back then. Movie was NUTS.
Ive recently lost sight of maintaining my looks. I haven't ran or watched what Ive eaten in weeks. I gotta get back on it. I feel like a big lump of shit.
Oh and please someone, if you can, help me out with a job. Ive tried so hard looking for one. No one is hiring. I guarantee my Dad thinks I'm just loafing around doing nothing, but seriously no one is hiring. I feel like a big piece of shit. I called every wawa and heritage within a 15 mile radius of my house. And pretty much every retail store you can think of in my town, glassboro, and deptford. If i have to go back to retail, I will kill someone. And im not joking, im sick of it. But a job is a job, and I need one. I cant wait till I can go back to school so I can feel like I'm accomplishing something. Fucking I call fives. Id be more ahead in this shit if it wasn't for them.
-Alkaline trio and Saves the Day April 30th!! =)
-Dave matthews in September.
-Hopefully blink in the summer too. |

out of 4 possibilities in the past month, each one has fallen apart right in front of me. i thought that trying to gain confidence, putting myself out there, making an effort, being more social/outgoing/flirty, etc but like usual, it did nothing.
back to square one. back to being same ol miserable dan. what is there to look forward to? working fulltime, and college for the next 3 years?
its a bunch of bullshit (life). im back to considering the army. i hate everything here. |

"A Los Angeles woman has filed a $4 billion class-action lawsuit against the 16-year-old on behalf of the city's entire Asian-Pacific Islander population, claiming they are entitled to civil rights damage"
I don't give a fuck about celebrities, but what I do care about is ignorant people trying to cash in whenever they can through bullshit lawsuits, which is a huge problem in this country. I understand why people would be offended but 4000 dollars for every Asian in that part of Los Angeles? That will get thrown out in court if theres any common sense in the California judicial system.
What makes those Asians more important then any other ones in the country? Why not give every single one money?
Why not give all Hispanic citizens $4000 every time that hack Carlos Mencia makes a shitty recycled joke about "beaners".
How about $4000 to every African American every time someone watches Jamie Kennedy in Malibu's Most wanted?
Its just not feasible. Theres racism everywhere whether people take it lightly or not. If one group of people is entitled money for dealing with the hardships of stereotyping, and racism, then every group of people is entitled to a share of that pie. |

Im done with I call fives. well it was a good run while it lasted lol.
back to college.
im gonna go on record and say the only decent person in that band is Drew Conte. The only person that understood what I sacrificed to just jump on that on the fly, put everything in my life on hold, and not be a dick to me for no absolutely reason on the tour. i guess i wasn't drugged up enough to replace their old guitarist. cheap shot? I don't give a fuck. I might lose a semester of college over inconsiderate assholes.
On to a normal life again. its pretty much narrowed down to history teacher.
I think i got myself a lady. shes way too good looking for me lol |

| [ | music |
| | champion | ] |
I got home from my first tour with I Call Fives. This is the first of many but it was very different than my past ones.
-The tour went to Pennsylvania, New York, South Carolina, Florida, Kansas city, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, then Ohio. Got to see some states that I never been to before. Which wasn't that great. I think Missouri, Illinois, and Iowa was a big load of nothing lol
-Shows for the most part were awesome. This band has a decent following in a lot of places so almost every show was good. There was 1 or 2 which were bummers.
-The best one was absolutely Illinois. There was a lot of kids there, and about 15 or 20 that were singing every line to every song. After we played there was a fucking line at the merch table to buy stuff, and for autographs. Autographs! From me. Its so stupid. It was an amazing night for me. It seemed like normal for them but I dunno for me it was awesome. I had kids coming up to me saying stuff like "You are so amazing" "You guys are my favorite band" "You are so good at guitar, you didn't miss a note" etc. I'm not trying to brag but for someone to say that shit to a former socially awkward fat nerd from south jersey is pretty fuckin cool.In Florida two older good looking 25 year old women asked for me to sign the cd, and took a picture with me. and I was joking around with them saying (a little drunk. actually no. really drunk) "why the hell do you want my autograph, I'm just your average dude" And them and their husbands said "no way, the very fact your only 21 and have the guts to tour and get up on stage every night is amazing. I couldn't do that" I guess that kind of put it in perspective for me, in my drunken stupor holding a 40 outside of the show.
-My Day At The Bassist Of Slipknot's House:
James knows this girl who likes us in Iowa. She just happened to be the sister in law of Paul Grey, the bassist of Slipknot. She lives with him and her sister. She invited us to crash at the house. So we get into Johnson, Iowa after a long day of driving through which seemed to be the 1850's. Seriously every state in the Midwest is like going back in time for hours upon hours. Theres seriously NOTHING. We get to the house and go to the basement, and just see platinum record plaques all over the wall. So now we know its legit. We get exctied and start calling people n shit. His music equipment was everywhere, along with memorabilia. I really wish he was there because I wanted to meet him. As much as people think Slipknot is corny, slipknot is what got me into heavy music way back i sixth grade. So I would say thats a pretty big impact.
We get to the show, after we play we find out that Paul and his wife had no clue we were there, got mad, and said we couldn't stay there. So we got our bags and got a cheap shady motel for 30 bucks.
-In Tampa, Florida, we played with a signed band called Fight Fair on Triple Crown Records. There music is really cheesy. Like Disney channel pop with breakdowns haha. But they were awesome dudes, and we hung out a lot. That connection will prove good for us. And there was a rumor a guy from Fueled By Ramen records was there and liked us, and asked for a cd..Not sure though.
-Drank alot. More then I did eat due to low money. Which resulted in actually losing like 5 lbs. Im gona start running again to get that number bigger.
-Stayed in a bunch of random places. Including this dorm at michigan state with like 5 girls which was pretty cool. |

Sometimes I really wish I could go back in time for a day to when I was little, and I spent my timek playing hockey, wrestling on my trampoline, watching nickelodeon and just not really having much cares or stresses in the world. Id think the most stress besides the fucked up shit that happened to me back then was getting my homework done and getting stage fright when I had to participate in the championship spelling bees. I just really wish that was possible.
It was when it was just My Dad and I. We lived in Birches West, and every Friday night he would take me to blockbuster to rent a movie and a video game, and then we would get wings and eat dinner. Literally every Friday night. Then usually on Saturdays during the day he'd take me to the movies, and then I would go outside and play with my friends. I miss that so much.
I know it seems like we have grown a distance since then, but I still look up to and admire him the same way I did from when I was a boy. I would say the old adage "hes hard on me but its because he loves me" but the truth is, he isn't hard on me at all. I just make very stupid stupid decisions, and I'm very irresponsible with my money. He has every right to get mad at me for fucking up. Its my own fault. When I was growing up with my new family, almost flunking out of 7th and 10th grade, I didn't understand that. I thought he was just being an asshole, but he wasn't. It was my own fault.
It was a time before my Grandmother was cursed with Parkinson's Disease. She now literally can't even walk, her vocal chords barely work, and sometimes she just doesn't make sense. It completely breaks me down and crushes me. I love visiting my Grandparents, but I always leave depressed because It just sucks so much. And it sucks for my Grandfather too having to take care of her every need and watch her slowly decline like that. They are both amazing people, and do not deserve that at all. I know people get old and stuff like this happens, but they just plain old don't deserve it.
How come scum sucking no good assholes like the members of the rolling stones, Pat Robertson, or any of the popes get to live so long, and amazing regular people get the short end of the stick. She used to be so lively, she would always cook me my favorite meals every time I stayed there (and other standard grandmother things), and a big part of my childhood was spent at their house. They are one of the driving forces behind rehabilitating me after my mother Passed away at a young age. Its just not fucking fair.
Some other updates:
-Got my grades in, and I got all A's and B's for the first time since I think 5th grade or something. This is pretty big. I never told myself I would succeed in college, and I finally did it. Im looking forward to trying even harder next semester.
-Women suck. |

I hate Christmas. Yea I said it. I HATE Christmas. Everything about it. I hate the songs, the bullshit "meaning" of it, and getting presents that I really don't deserve.
Attention idiot Christians who complain about the secularization and commercialization of Christmas: Don't like it? Then we shouldn't get the days off for a government holiday. Its called Separation of Church and State. So if you don't want Christmas to be a secularized and commercialized with all of the shops and Santa bullshit, then we shouldn't get the days off of work. Pick one. You can't have your cake and eat it too. We don't get off for Hanukkah or Ramadan. So until then, fucking deal with it.
I also hate people.

I went to the bar with my two friends on Saturday. At said bar, I watched my one friend get a number. And then my other friend literally had a girl walk up to him and give him her number. And then they proceeded to have a long ass conversation with my ex girlfriend right in front of me. god I hate seeing her so much, its ridiculously immature, but i don't care. What a terrible night, and another great showing of my inability to excel in public situations, meet women, and walk out with nothing. Its so easy for some people they dont even realize it.
Im just gonna live in a cave, and start writing my books. |

I fucking hate celebrity poker.
I hate celebrities with a burning passion. And poker has to be one of the most boring games (noticed i didnt put "sport" because it is NOT by ANY MEANS a sport) to watch on tv. I think I'd really rather watch a dog show on ESPN2.
Who ever thought to combine those two should be hung up on a post and stoned to death. |

Ah Halloween. The day in which the few girls in this society with self respect left, let it go for one stupid day. Fucking hate Halloween. Yea, call me a scrooge, but I got my opinion, you have yours. Deal with it. I am forced to go to a Halloween party on friday. I will not dress up out of spite because thats the way I like to do things. Ive become increasingly bitter and angry in the past few months, and I do not know why. Fuck halloween! I will not give in to this dumb-broad festival.
And please. for the love of god. watch this video. its been like 3 months and it still cheers me up.

I think they should pay men as much for a Sperm donation as they do for a Woman's egg donation. Its sexist. I need money so I would do it, but only if its as much as a woman. Its really not fair. Its just another example in this society in which women are treated better then men. First, theyre allowed to vote, then they get better paying jobs, and now this. Ridiculous.
Oh and im off of school today for some gcc thing, but the friggin teacher still wants us to meet online. Not fair at all. |

The recent updates in things I've been hatin' on:
1. Why do people come into my work and buy typewriters? Its so fucking stupid. And some of them are like 200 bucks. Buy a fucking computer. You can get one online for like 300. Fuckin idiots.
2. People at the gym that do their hair for the gym. What the fuck, why do you even go? Your going to get sweaty as shit anyway, then take a shower. Fuckin guidos man.
3. Other people at work, especially middle aged, fat house wives that are bitches to me for no reason. They just hate the world because there fat and miserable. SO they have to complain about meaningless bullshit and be an asshole to random strangers like me (trying to help them) for no reason. I hope my life doesn't get so bland and boring, and I dont get to be 300 lbs when im 55 and have to bitch about printer ink, and whether something is 42.98 or 42.50.
4. My job in general. Yea the people are cool as shit, but its getting so dead to the point where I just sit there for hours on end doing nothing. I feel like im contributing nothing to society there. I want a job where I do stuff like lift stuff, and time passes by. Staples sucks so bad sometimes. I will miss the people there though, If I find a new job.
5. Politics. Can't this election be over yet. I'm so sick of hearing about these two clowns running for president. Just let people vote, and leave the news for something other than political bashing and pointless interviews with dumb ass analysts.
6. The kid in every class in GCC that HAS to say something every time the Professor talks. Everyone knows that kid. The kid that thinks hes really funny, but the rest of the class just wants him to get his vocal cords surgically removed. Hell, id do it for him with my bare hands if I could. But im not Rambo.
7. The fact that marijuana is illegal, and people can come into my work, buy cans of duster and get high off of them, people can buy precription and OTC drugs and overdose on them, people can go to a bar and drink all night and drive home and kill someone. But Weed is still illegal.
8. Loud out of control kids in public places in which their parents clearly have no control over them, and set no guidelines for discipline. Sometimes you want to fuckin punt them.
I need a woman. |
