05:21 pm: Happy St. Patricks Day indeed!
I think I'm cursed by some sort of St. Patrick’s Day Leprechaun. My day started out good. Went to school, which was a waste of time and a waste of a good drive seeing as how I didn't learn anything. Besides, leaving school Tuesdays and Thursdays leave me in a depressed state of my failing chemistry grade...(awwwww) So then, on the way home my tire blows out. So I jack it up, and put the donut on, and drives to Discount Tire. Some discount....near 100 bucks for 2 tires. By the by, my other tire was bald flat so I pretty much had to replace that one. I sat there for like, 90 minutes. Within which time I walked to McDonalds for a shamrock shake! And I also found something interesting there, but we'll talk about that later. Then I lost my wallet. It was amazing! So I drive around looking for it, turns out it was at Lyndsey's house since I stopped by there on the way home. And it's only 6ish!! Okay! Now enough about that. I was ordering food at McDonalds. Now, there were two registers...but there was also something more. A third 'express' register. Now McDonalds has an express register. Apparently fast food isn't fast enough anymore, there needs to be an express aisle. How hungry must a person be...that they can't wait...what, 30 seconds for a hamburger? That just about killed me...an express aisle at McDonalds... So anyways, hopefully my bad luck Leprechaun is gone. And......so am I! Bye!

05:55 pm: Another one of Mike's old get rich quick schemes!
Ah yes, and tiss true! But remember, any moron can get rich with paper with the pictures of Lincoln and Washington and Benny F. My plan promises riches in large amounts of copper! And silver! I was getting some lunch for Lyndsey today, at Tim Horton’s. Now, I've never noticed this before...but I can assure you I will be looking every time. The bill ended up to be like, $7.59 I think. Now, that's a decent hunk of change. 2 quarters, a nickel and several pennies....4....pennies....anyways, as I am giving the drive through window person my money........oops! Butterfingers! She drops like, all the pennies. Now mind you, she didn't seem to care about a few pennies no sir. She shrugged it off and proceeded to put my food in the bag. I think...hmmm...I lean over. Just to take a peak at the pennies that would soon be forgotten amongst the trash of cigarette butts and used gum. But low and behold! No gum or butts were to be found! Instead, beams of silver and copper alike shot through the dirt of the drive through runway! I was almost beside myself, as a starred intensely at this disregarded treasure that had probably shared the same fate as my pennies. I looked around...quickly...I opened my door...just a crack! ...And rescued that which had befallen my captivated eyes. Though I could not retrieve it all...upon further inspection of my prize...I had acquired a total 80 cents worth of shimmering splendor! There had to have been 2 dollars in loose change laying there, forgotten...waiting... So remember this when you yourselves travel the way of so many before you. When you have a moment, look down...and see. Yes my friends, see, and believe.

06:22 pm: Yes....gooood.....goooood
What an eventful day. Okay, listen to this one. So I'm sitting in chemistry class. Completely oblivious to everything he was talking about....my lab partner too. You remember him. The one I was talking about Einstein to. Anyways, we're both completely lost in this lecture. He's talking about sigma bonds and pi bonds, then some long shpeel about the molecular orbital theory where you need sigma 1, then different s orbital then other sigma orbital then pi orbital, then sp3 hybridized carbon atoms contained by certain compounds.....and we're sitting there sucking our thumbs. Not literally of course...sillies. Then he starts talking about how to find Bond Orbitals. He starts writing the equation on the board... BO= something something. We just saw the B.O. and just started cracking up. Hee hee! B.....o.......! Hmm...That was funnier in my mind. And I can't even save it. Oh well. Anyways......what else what else......ummm......man I got nothing...... Did I see anything funny today at least? Huh...no not really...Tuesdays are so uneventful. No matter how hard pizza joints try, you can't make Tuesdays exciting. And apparently I can't think of any way to make this entry any more interesting. So...Bye!

01:36 pm: Update? Sure! Why not?
On my mark, get set....here I go!!
Well I suppose I should get the most important things out of the way first. But which...okay, I'll say a late happy anniversary to the lil' lady Lyndsey. Second most important thing. I've always thought there were people in college that you could like, hardly know and have an intelligent conversation with. Well, I've had few so far, but the one today was priceless. My partner in my chem class and I were talking about how much of your brain you actually used. Then we started talking about Einstein. I've never though a conversation could have existed about Einstein or brains that contained that many F-bombs. I'll give an example, "Man, that f*cking Einstein used like, 20% of his f*cking brain. That's so f*cking ridiculous. Could you imagin using that much of your f*cking brain? Sh*t dude, if I used like, 100% of my f*cking brain, I'd totally be like, a f*cking genius. F*cking Einstein." ...Yup. I always heard you used like, less than 10% of your brain....and Einstein used 15% or something. But needless to say, my chem partner and I didn't see eye to eye when it came to my next statement. I said something like, "If you used 100% of your brain, I bet you could levitate desks. And read minds. Totally read minds. And you'd probably go crazy from all the knowledge going through your head at once." His response was something like, "Man, you could never lift a f*cking desk with your mind dude. But yeah, you're right about going crazy. I'd defiantly go f*cking crazy." But on to bigger and better things......I saw the coolest accident the other day. This small focus slid totally underneath a huge semi truck. It had no front end left. Ziiipp, gone! Nobody was hurt I don't think......................but man what a crash. Let's see....anything else? I update so rarely...hmm...don't wanna write too much...alright then, that's it. See ya!

09:08 pm: So I'm updating? Crazier things have happend.
I was totally screwed the other day. Okay, you'll all enjoy this one. So I'm buying a pop from a vending machine. A mountain dew. My dollar is...you couldn't find a better dollar. It was crisp, un-creased! Impeccable! Okay, so I put the dollar in...and! It spits it out. Hmm. One could write this in as a fluke. So I tries it again. Spits it out! This is one picky machine. After about....I dunno, 10 tries I get an idea. There is a candy machine right next to the pop machine. So I think, "I will put my crisp non-folded dollar into the candy machine. Push the eject button, and get back a ravel of quarters! This can't miss!!!" So I put in my dollar. This machine eats it all up. Gobble gobble. So here comes my plane. EJECT!!! ...is pushed. Dah...dah dah dah...Machines don't normally take this long to eject money....so I waited....then presumed with the all-American solution when something powered by the push of a simple button doesn't work fast enough. Press it about a million more times. The machine is not giving me change back. Nothing!! I tell you, I have never been unhappier to eat Mike and Ikes....ever....in my life. So anyways…besides the vending machines….pshh….college is fine whatever. But what’s a college without a decent vending machine? Huh?? Yeah you know. Well, that’s about it. Until next time. Bye everyone!

05:02 pm: Aluminum gas tank
Ahhh, yet another journal worthy entry starts... NOW!! You guys won't believe this one. I still don't believe it! That's just how unbelievable it is. Are you ready to unbelieve too? Good. Cuz here goes: (Wiggling wavy lines symbolizing flashback) I was driving home today. Everybody loves driving home. So here I am driving, and I notice this black Blazer has something written on the back of it, surrounded by smiley faces. I became deeply, deeply, intrigued. So I try getting behind this car to read what it says...unfortunately, the writing is beyond my pathetic normal human sight. So I trys getting closers. Still nothing. Gas was wearing thin on my poor 4 cylinder. So...my search sadly had to end as I regrettably pulled into the gas station. To make my disappointment worse, the gas station was charging me $1.99 per gallon!! Forget that. So I went to another gas station...they charged me $1.91! Woo! So I goes to pay for gas, and I see this woman buying like, 4 packs of cigarettes. Then I start to leave, and what do I see? The very same blazer I was in pursuit of! I look behind it, and see all the smiley faces! And the writing! I finally had a chance to read it! It said, "At least I can still smoke in my car." ...I could only think to myself………………………………wow.………………………………….I felt very fulfilled. I also felt fulfilled when this loser thinking he was a bad ass in a nice sports car tried to pass me by going around traffic by cutting threw a sub, and ended up pulling out behind me instead. Yes. What a day. Ahhh.... Well that was my update. I'll see all you people around!

10:57 pm: So then, I decided to update my journal.......
Here I am here I am. Honestly I have nothing to write about. But I felt compelled to write an entry about something. How about those strange guys that work at premier lanes? You know who I'm talking about... These guys walk up and down the ally just looking at everyone's stuff. Get off my stuff sir I say to them!! Hmmm...I'm so fat. I can't even see my feet...Oh wait never mind. My shirt was just rolled up...false alarm. Let me think...I must have something to talk about. Ah gee this is must pointless. Sorry folk, I'll come back when I have something better to talk about. In the mean time, think of this as just a message saying hi. So........ Hi people!!

05:22 pm: My trek ends....
I was told to update. So here it is! Actually, I figured I'd right a little something...since I write monthly...and next month I'll be the big one eight...and the girlfriend is only the small one five...and I may be put away. Apparently robbing cradles is now a crime. Who knew?? Truthfully though I felt like updating. I really don't know why...maybe it was the bad pudding I ate earlier...yeah. I decided I was hungry for something chocolatey...and the only chocolate thing in the whole house was this pudding. Maybe I should have checked the expiration date cuz this pudding did not taste like pudding. It tasted almost exactly like...expired pudding. But I don't think pudding has an expiration date. Well, anyway, I decided to liven up my chocolatey chum bowl with some cool whip. You know...the squeeze kind that you feel the urge to squeeze right in your mouth? That kind. Hmm...maybe I should checked the expiration date on that too...cuz I tell you what...I ain't making pudding or eating cool whip for a long long time. Or eating for that matter. They should invent packaging for food that turns colors when its bad. I don't mean like, you know when cheese goes bad cuz I turns green, or you know milk goes bad cuz it's chunky. I mean like, if cool whips bad, or puddings bad, the package turns blue or green so you know to stay away. Cuz I tell you what...if ever I was abducted or something and brought back like, 2 months later...I'm going to be hungry. I can't live off space food or those little capsules or whatever aliens eat. I'm gunna want some food! But I sure ain't gunna be too happy if I find my produce gone bad as I'm eating it. I'd like to know before hand. Food capsules...hmmm...I wonder if they have pudding flavor...or if that goes bad...Does pudding even go bad!? Wow...all this talk about pudding has made me hungry. I'm gunna go see if we have any. Or maybe some space capsules! ...or...maybe just the pudding...

08:49 pm: And so it goes...
So it goes indeed. And here it goes again! Yet another journal entry. You know, it's not always easy finding nothing to write about. Ideally, everything is something. Except of course if something is nothing. Then...I guess it could be nothing. It takes a really big nothing to be something. But, apparently I have a magical refrigerator. Laugh all you want, but my refrigerator has some sort of magic hex. Okay. We had this carton of orange juice in our refrigerator. It’s been there a while I suppose…no more then a week or so though. So, I goes upstairs to grab myself a tall glass of some rich vitamin c filled goodness. I take it out of the fridge. Open it up…and it fizzes. You know, like when you open a pop. And this struck me as odd…but really didn’t think much of it. So I pour the orange juice…ahh…so orange…isn’t it funny how something is named for its color? If someone asked me what my favorite color was, I’d say Mountain Dew. Anyways. I take a sip of my recently poured juice. And…it tasted very funny. It was fine a couple days ago…but for some odd reason…it tasted just like wine. Was it possible my once sweet and good for kids orange juice fermented within the confines of my very own fridge in a matter of weeks? Nay, days?! Hmmm…what monstrosity is being in trusted of my very food source? Who knows what will happen to the milk next. Ice cream perhaps? A million dollars maybe?? We soon shall see...we soon shall see...

07:42 pm: There's nothing like nothing when nothings around.
Well, I had an idea of what I should write about. But then I forgot. Actually...to tell you the truth...I had no idea. I made that part up. But I did forget about it! Actually... I haven't written a poem in a while. I'll write a poem! But what about... I dunno. I could write about... my day! What could be more interesting than my day? I'll tell you what...nothing! It's like I always say, there's nothing like nothing when nothings around. And let me tell you, nothing is around. So here goes!

So here I am, writing about my day,
A most interesting topic, if I must say.
I could talk about school, and the events that took place…
But all that is boring, so I’ll cut to the chase.
I drank some Mountain Dew! That’s some good news.
With that refreshing green-like liquid, I’ll never sing the blues.
I ate a whole lot… that I really hate…
I looked at the scale today…I’m way overweight.
Maybe I’ll go on a very strict diet,
Eh, it might work…I may as well try it.
All right, I grow bored with this entry…
It seems that to write it is taking a century.
Maybe next time I’ll write something better,
At least I’m better than this that making a sweater?

Haha, I’m done here. Later all!
