And he did nothing

Today is so great... and it all started last night. Went to see RENT in Anaheim (prob one of the worst performances i have seen) despite the overall quality a good time was had by all. Sometimes it would be nice to trun off the anal retentive theater person in me when going to see live shows. But, if I could that what fun would I have. Then I went to IN and OUT... Chocolate shakes, yea chocolate shakes. Then of course I went home played some video games... (yeah I havent played in forever but after christmas I felt compelled to buy a new game... so I did) slept, woke up talked to some people on IM, watched TV, PLayed more video games, finally ate, made movie plans for tonight, and made this entry. I think I may go do some errands, or maybe ill just stay home. Who knows? He, did nothin'.

It's been a long time coming,

It's been a while since the last real b-log so I'll take a minute or two to update.
Crystal and I had a pretty fun Christmas party on Dec 21st. For those of you who couldn't make it. There will be others although this one was a murder mystery party. One of those "who done it" type things. Everyone's characters were truly fitting. We had hot apple cider, made by Jen. She is so big now... 2 more months until little Aaron arrives! So exciting. It was really good to see them. Yet more surprises, from that party Jessica came to the party too! It was awesome to see her again, we had been talking over e-mail for the last year and finally got the chance to hang out. So that was cool. Of course yet another one of my favorites was there too... Katy Lucas ;-) I haven't seen that girl in way way too long. We are gonna try and make our meetings happen more often, a few times a year just isn't enough. Miss that girl for sure! Of course in attendance was the rest of the regular crowd. Minus ... Luke, well considering who was there it was probably better that he missed out on the party especially since he was going to bring Kat. Though I can't say that it helped his "Kat hate factor" with some people at the party. The Girlfriend, just doesn't mix with the Girl Friends. You know! I missed having him there for sure. Speaking of brother types...

Justin is an interesting character. I think its funny how many of my friends ask about him. Because they say "he's so quite" well thing about lil' bro J2 is that he is quiet but not. I think he leads a secret life that little of us know about. Well I have seen it, he and his friends truly know how to party in soda, milk shakes and movies. He, is one of those brilliant music people too, his band is pretty good. J2, I have no idea what I would do without him. That said, we rarely hang out, have totally different circles of friends and a pretty independent. He knows Ill back him up in a fight, he will help me through anything. There is nothing better then family. Especially when they are fun to tease...

Arin, I get to see a lot of this kid while I am on vacation and she is on winter break. It's great for real! She and I have the best older brother - lil' sister fights. About who's the bigger poopy head, or how she is just so hyper. Cute as a button though, and not one of the plain ones either, I'm talking all fancy and stuff. Anyway, J2 and I got her a Crayola Crayon Maker for Christmas... I think she ruined an entire pack of perfectly good crayons to make these, blue, green, red and other color crayons. We spent some quality time while J2 slept, making deviled Eggs, and Pumpkin Bread. It was nice.

Now, of course since it is break I got to see Kathy a few times a week the last few weeks. It was pretty nice, lemme tell you. Gotten to go snowboarding twice this season, looking forward to more trips with Luke, since he finally has his own board and all. I'll hopefully get Nate to go, McCallister, and a host of other people. Looking forward to another snowboarding trip this Jan. But sooner then that the usual New Years trip to DISNEYLAND. It's going to be sooo much fun! I haven't been to D-land since August... Which is an INSANE AMOUNT OF TIME! So anyway, that's the deal DISNEYLAND, and I have to renew my pass of course. Maybe ill get some time in with Arin and J2 before school starts again. Our trips there are always the best. Yesterday Crystal and I went shoppin', we were soo good and bought a bunch of stuff for under $120.00. She made her Daddy's famous green bean casserole too much good food was had this last week.

I know there are prob. tons of holes in this B-log so tell me what I missed. Later all.

-J

Merry Christmas

Yeah, thats all for now, gotta get back with the family... fun filled day for sure.

-J

it's coming...

I'll update soon I promise... this weekend is busy, with the C-mas parties and all I have to go to... Bartending tonight woohoo! Yay for partying and making money at the same time.

-J

The Holidays are coming

Here comes the "most wonderful time of the year". Well, at least for me my work schedule really really bites this week. For the next 4 days I work until about 11:00 or midnight. Then thursday, thank goodness for thursday I get off at 8:00 so I may be hittin' up Numbers for Mail box night. Who knows, maybe I'll get to spend sometime with this kid I know... :-) I hope anyway. Christmas this year... in the way of gifts is going to be interesting, the cash isn't exactly flowing... but who knows. Time to get ready for work. Later all.

-J

I got home at 4:00 am

I get home, first thing I hear and read...

U.S. Troops capture Sadam Hussein! I AM SOOO HAPPY I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT to TYPE!!!!

-J

AGAIN!

|I love SNOW|

Yeah, I went snowboarding on Friday, and hopefully I'll be going again next weekend on Saturday the 20th. IT was a good day.. although I didn't stretch as much as I shoudl have (or at all... I know I know) So I nearly pulled a muscle but instead I think its just fatigued or whatnot. Anyway, its all fun stuff. Had a blast with Canu and Luke. Alittle sore though, I am sooo out of snowboarding shape, Ill get back to it though. So thats 2 times so far this season, and more many many more times to come. CHristmas party is in the works Dec 21st... its a murder mystery, and all of you who sent me your addresses, should be getting an invitation in the mail soon. If you have a new address let me know Ill be sending the formal invitations on MONDAY. It's going to be a blast...

In other news my work schedule next week bites... I basically work until 11:00 or midnight everyday. But the upside is that I have Friday and Saturday off! Rock on! So that will be cool. Lord, also knows I need the 31 hours this next week, 'cause Christmas is really expensive this year. I need to know what you all want for christmas... so heres the deal. You tell me what you want and Ill try to get somthing like it if not the exact item. You don't tell me you get a card... if I have your address... If I dont have your address you get... this "Merry Christams INSTERNAMEHERE. Wish I had your address Ciao, J" to there you go. Lots of love to you all, and yay Kathy is back in town for a bit!

-J

The Trip

Ahh, so the fun began at 5:30 a.m.. Luke and I were off to the San Bernadino Mountains. By 8:30 we were on our boards and going up the lift and down the hill and up and down and up and down etc... It was a very fun filled day for sure. (get your mind out of the gutter) What makes it even better is that we are going back on FRIDAY!!! Sooo stoaked about that... this time with a larger group. What made this trip especially enjoyable were the fun things we noticed and talked about on the way there and back. For instance, you ever noticed how mexican drivers just dont care about the rules of the road, or how you should never drive faster then the car directly ahead of you... Maybe it was the fact we had to wait nearly an hour on the mountain because someone decided to cut trees on one of the only highways down the mountain... so naturally just as we were begining to move again, is when we got bored enough to bust out the few beers Luke had in his back pack for the snowboarding trip... I dunno, if you have ever heard the "Luke and Jared" radio show you know how fun things can get. If you haven't been on car trip with us I dare you. :-) Thats all for now.

-J

The Editing process...

So Today I go to Edit the many many videos I have on my MINI DV camcorder... only to realize that my brother has my camcorder, and that my moms camcordr that I have isnt playing back tapes properly... what to do! Kidna bummed out because I planned on making some DVD's tonight. Well, another day.

Maybe its a dying art, or pasttime but remember the last time you got somthing nice in the mail for you to look at and read. It beats getting bills or the tons of junk mail sent out everyday. With that said, I can't mail you a card or anything if I dont have your address. So send it to me by clicking here and ill write ya! OH, you can write me too. ;-)

-J

Thankfulness!

So this last week has been full of blessings. If not accompanied by the odd silences, and pauses. Here is the run down.

Monday - Wednesday
I worked, had fun with the and helped train some new team members. For once I feel like I am surrounded by intelligent people at work. I decided that I can stand working at Best Buy; mainly because I like the people I work with, I need money VERY VERY Badly, and the discount rocks.
I went out on Wednesday too. Club montage ,it was a good night for all. Crystal and I have added Billy to the fold for our going out. The OBSCENE amounts of money we spend on nights out can only be paralled by the cool people we meet, good times, and free stuff we get. did I mention we have VIP tickets now. (nevermind they were giving them away that night) haha.

Thursday
Thanksgiving. I hope everyone had a great one. I know I did. I am still full! Had brunch at momsies, dinner at moms, and then yet more food at dads.

Friday
The shopping day from HECK! I worked early in the morning, the day went by fast, people are scary when confronted with massive sales... haha then I went home crashed, and slept well.

Saturday
I got new sheets, pollow and a duvet from Bed Bath. Thanks to Crystal and her 30% off. Woo, then we went to Richs and Numbers. We got a free Zippo out of the deal and dollar well drinks. So sweet.

TODAY
so taoday I work a bit and then I get to go to KARAOKE shoudl be totally fun. The week continues.

A few more things, missed seeign Kathy, and a few other people also thugh in the spirit of being thankful and all that... I realized some people just dont get it. Makes me kinda sad.

Play Time

Just about every weekend I go out with some friends clubbin, to a restaurant, or some other nonsense. Now, that I have a weekend off I can also get work done at home like cleaning, and laundry and all that stuff too. It's nice to have time to do those things. Anyway, back to going out. Dancing is the most fun ever, and if you don't dance when you go out PLEASE start. All you need is rhythm, nothing else. We went to 2 clubs, Numbers was as usual off the hook, but Richs... well they had a Britney party and they were dead! Yay, for anti Britney stuff! Wooohooo! The were playing a lot of Britney at Numbers and everyone was down with it. Few of us are willing to admit that we actually like Brittney but yeah I like her. Though we all know that it's all about Justin.

I can't wait for Thanksgiving. I dread the day after Thanksgiving, working at 5:30 am. Ewww, not okay. I think I need some playtime soon, I am thinking three things. One, the Zoo because Crystal has never been; Two, Sea World because it's fun and lil' sis' has a pass; Three, Disneyland because I haven't been since September and I need to re-new my pass, and I can take lil' sis with Marie, Lacey, Luke, Chris and if I can get Kathy to come bonus (that and I have to see Katy Lucas). Gotta go for now, time to clean the car.

-J

The weekend has arrived!

After a much needed slow week at work! YAY! I have yet another wonderful surprise a 3 day weekend. No working for me until Monday. Today I went to the mall and Found the greatest Jacket at DKNY I think I may just have to purchase. Tonight I'll probably go out to San Diego, then tomorrow a trip down memory lane back to TJ... and club safari, then Sunday who knows. Church first and a nice day at home catching up on homework and filling out applications for acting conservatorys in the east coast and here in LA. Things are really starting up for the holiday season. You have to let me know what you all want for Christmas this year, since I actually have Christmas cash. (well there is a good chance at that at least) If I get the chance to go out tonight I may have some bigger news to share if not, you will be hearing me complain about whatever didn't happen later.

Soon to come some long awaited pictures, and other fun stuff to look at. If anyone wants to help me detail my car this weekend (and fix my stupid window) on Saturday let me know. Ill buy you coffee. :-) comeon you know I need the help. Oh and I found the nicest Pioneer speakers for my car some good ol 6x9s I may have to splurge and get those as well. If you havne't had the chance to check out Jonny Lang you should. Check out track 5 "Touch" and number 2 "Red Light".

Also for you enjoyment
Proof that Girls are Evil... hehe

First we state that girls require time and money
GIRLS = TIME x MONEY

And as we all know "time is money"
TIME = MONEY

Therefore:
GILRS = MONEY x MONEY
GIRLS = MONEY^2

And because "money is the root of all evil":
MONEY = sqrt EVIL

Therefore:
GIRLS = (sqrt EVIL)^2

We are forced to conclude that:
GIRLS = EVIL


Don't hate just play the game. I still love most of you. ;-)

-J

I had an idea...

I thought I had somthing to write about. But I guess I didn't. Hmmmm, there is literally nothing going on right now. I have Friday and Saturday off though which will be nice. I have been cooking a lot lately (Btw I need to cook less butter and olive oil engorged meals) its fun. Luke and I have been haning out and of course Crystal too. I may be moving in the right direction with my school, and the like. But who knows. It's a big decision, there are a few things biting at my heels right now. Like the production company, and the entire mess I am still dealing with after A Chorus Line... anyway like that shouldn't be over with already. So I guess there is a little going on. But not that much. Oh I meet Steven kinda on saturday, nice kid entirely too much like me but not. Ill explain that later... maybe. But yeah for thse who care I am here, wow I am having a Mark moment.

-J

Post, just do it.

So I got this idea from Wendy and it sounds like it might work. I want you to leave a comment an Anonymous one. Thats right edit out your name and your e-mail everything. Vent. I want it all folks. Here is your once chance to say anything its an open invitation.

-J

Spent...

As in all of my money has been spent... all of it. Happy Birthday Robyn! Girl is finally 21. Wooohooo. What a night, we partied in the "classic" but fun style. Just a night out to eat limo ride and everything in to the gaslamp. Goodtimes. A good time was had by all. Massive amounts of alcohol were consumed, I really like beer, did I mention that yet, because I do. Though I still love my hard alcohol, I used to hate beer, now its alright. By the end of the night robyn was more then a bit tipsy... I think she may have passed out. (though she will probably only admit to falling asleep) Proud of her though, she had 3 shots, 2 classes of champagne, and 1 rum and coke. All in all a good night for her. I hope she had a lot of fun. Because this one is sooo spent. Lots of Love to everyone who could make it.

Completely random

Why does one wake up at 5:00 am, and begin to go through their Junior high, and Senior high yearbooks? I'll tell ya because they are crazy. Because they forgot they hated how they looked back then. Because they missed some old friends they haven't kept up with as much as they might have liked. Because they were complled to remember all of the funny and very nice things people have said to them in the past. Because, they look at their CD year book and think wow technology back in 1997 (for our first CD year book) was really lame compareed to today. More importantly, looking back on things is a good way to gage yourself today in comparison. Needed to remember that perhaps. Then again, who knows why?

-J

Lost... a testimonial

Perhaps, this is a recurring theme. I have definitely felt this way before. CYT today, 2 shows, the usual bruises and scratches working backstage. The usual recognition and wishing things could run better. But, that isn't really where this story begins. Go back say 5 years to see the beginnings. I had the white escort still, no debts, ambition, an honors student, "a life of great potential". I had even traveled a little. Ended up landing a few leads in plays since then, passed some AP tests, Worked in new accounts at a Bank, performed on stage at Disneyland in some small shows, Directed several shows, produced five, started a production company, and now Working at best buy... still not finished with school, lost in direction. Changed much, have I? Or is what you see the same naivete in me? Slightly optimistic, or tentative with every step? Everyone says "You shouldn't compare your self to others you always come out short"... but how can we not compare to our piers... because they are doing the things you wish you could do.... and you think why are you where you are? We all have different circumstances of life, and obstacles in the way. But don't you feel like you could be doing more... I do. Do you feel like you should be somewhere else? When you look back even knowing you haven't completely wasted your time... maybe I have lofty goals for myself, or perhaps I truly do have short comings...

-J

Turn on the fun

So working for this and that really makes me wish I still worked here just because it is so much more fun to tell stories all day, play improv games with audiences and sword fight captain hook. Heck after seeing how much I have been making recently... though the money is good, the 13.00 hr plus Bonuses at this place seems a lot more appealing, that and you get a whole lot more respect from people that and then maybe I wouldn't work with sooo many well... umm slackerish uneducated types. No and its not the peeps that I work with directly its all the scary 28 yearolds that are still working in retal and on the sales floor. Anyway, miuns 1000 karma points and I should be gettin' fired any day now. Comments....?!

DOWNLOAD THIS

All of you still using other programs or Windows Media you need to get this. Disregard your predisposition to windows and all that fun faulty software. I have been using it for a good month now. It's worth it. So sack the Win AMP, Music Match, and Windows Media and go with Itunes

Gullible its NOT in the dictionary.

So many of you my loyal readers... fell for the last b-log. Don't worry your secrets are safe with me. That, and I knew most of the information you shared anyway. I had to fall for that one first too. This weekend has been an event and the next week is not my friend. "Anne of Green Gables" opened this last firday, the show did come together. I know there is a lot more that could have been done with the show. Part of it is my fault for not being avalible... but I figured it was time for someone else to take the reigns and lead. I am trying to silently step away... but I know I will be back. Work this weekend was interesting. Everyone seems to be planning the next party at my place. A good thing for sure... the last party was the bomb ya'll. Then thanks to Nate for one of the nicest conversations I have had in a long time walking around "old encinitas" it was fun. So the last few days have been busy. This next week is what scares me...

8 CYT shows

Working 6 - 8 hours a day until friday

Philosophy essays

Production Company todo's

and Planning for Robyns Party (21st baby!)
So it should be fun, a lot of work and a good time for all. Gimma a holla folks.

Allergic

This morning I wake up and my eyes are dry, nose is stuffy, and I am itchy all over. So I pulled my fitted sheet off my bed in my sleep and un-buttoned the bottom of my duvet. So it wasn't any major sickness just the usual, I am allergic to down. Folks its hella soft if you have never slept with a down mattress pad and comforter you are missing out. (not to mention my six pillows) So sickly isnt so sickly more like allergical.

Tonight: CYT rehearsal and work. If I could call in to work I would. Because they really need me on the set. But I will be there opening night to handle any last minute challenges. Then the kids get their chance on stage. If you can you should come and see the show. It's going to be great. (crosses fingers) Doing some massive letter writing this week too. There are a bunch of people who deserve regular mail so I figured I would go ahead and send them something. If you want some mail... while I am in the mood gimme your address. Ill get ya something.

2 Years kinda Ironic... Luke?

So these two here have been together for dos anos. Here is a picture of them a year ago. It's so great when two people who actaully look good together are together. Oh, yeah can't believe I just typed that. But so true. ;-) Besides, It's just great.

Snow

snowboarding seasion starts at Big Bear This FIRDAY!!! WOOOHOOO! It's my season! Look at me and Luke! Good Times... more to come!

Return Trip

Luke is back from his trip to Seattle. I really liked it over there, which is good. Although, I don't know how he can like it that much. Apparently everything is so much nicer in Washington then it is here. I can see the differences but I Love my town. Though I know I need to get out for a while and travel and do the whole school thing too. Did you ever think that you just need to travel and leave everything behind for a while. I think that it is very important for all us "Educated" folk to travel. Better to be a citizen of the world then an "Ignorant American" not that the process of going out and sight seeing in other countries is going to do it but it would be a start. No we all need to be much more informed then we are about the world, and local news. Not just news either, but History, Art, Language, and the whole "Culture" of being a global citizen. Let's face it many of us are just not up to that challenge. We would rather live life and not care about or do anything about the outside world. Not that we need to be going out and trying to "help" everyone or make things right and donate a life time. But the mere fact we take time to educate our selves would improve our situation. And EVERYONE stop talking about the French this and the Germans that about not supporting the U.S. The French people have been one of the best friends that the United States has known. (incase you are wondering I do support the whole Iraq thing).

On a lighter note I love to travel and Luke hates it. Somehow the 3 of us (Jared, Luke and Chris) are supposed to move to Seattle or something. I still have Moving to NYC to think about. Who knows, but I think that it may be the best thing for me to move to NYC and finish school there. Though, it would be rough. I can't imagine leaving my family and friends behind... but I guess it’s a good trip if I want to travel and learn about "entertainment" on a global scale. I think it’s important to know the roots of your craft, or passion. I want to learn about ancient theater, classical and contemporary. I want to see Indie films, French, German, I want to see a real Opera in Italy, and I would love to witness what is real Japanese theater.

Return

Luke gets back today, we have a lot to catch up on. He was in Seattle for the last few days visiting Kat. Missed the Halloween Party, and the events of the last week or so. Today will prove to be a very, very busy day. I have to make the trip to CYT its first dress rehearsal for "Anne of Green Gables" I haven't had the time I would have liked to work on this show. When I was able to make rehearsal it was entertaining as always. I am excited to see the show begin to come together tonight as well. Before all of that gets started I have 2 loads of laundry to do, school, and cleaning the room. I had better get going.

Habit

Do you ever go to do something and end up doing something completely different then what you intended to do? Well I have several, several times in the last few days. I feel so blond. So maybe ill have to bleach my hair again hehe, and use more toner so I don't have to bleach it twice. Hmmm anyway.

I still need to Finish cleaning my room, begin set up / planning for the Halloween Party, begin to purchase supplies, do homework, go to work, work for my parents, clean the car and help J finish moving. I like being busy... "Anne of Green Gables" is going well too. I know the show will be good.

What have all of you been up to lately are there any new and exciting events you wish to share with everyone? SURE you must have something.

Thank goodness for the time change last night. I had to be at work at 7:00 this morning which for all you is pretty early. I had to get up at 6:00 and I don't care what anyone says 6:00 AM is COLD, COLD here. brrrr. So I get ready for work spending an obscene amount of time in the nice hot shower and go. Interesting meeting, Jamie and I were talking about a certain co-worker who needs to be kicked really hard... cause it would be funny. Yeah, fun! My boss Katie bought us all Starbucks this morning... yummy starbucks. My new favorite coffee place is here give me a regular, soy latte and I am in heaven. I really need to wash my car because of the fires in Palomar.. it had ash all over it this morning. Getting up at 6:00 am this morning really made me miss snowboarding. It needs to snow in our "big hills" as crystal calls them so I can go snowboarding with Luke. I am so ready.

Missed but not.

Luke Robinson - Best Friend forever. I dont know what I would do without such an understanding guy for a friend. Truly do love him.

Does that ever make anyone think? I got a very criptic e-mail from this girl from my past today... I didn't quite understand it it seemed really critical, and mean. Maybe I just misunderstood. Thats one thing I don't take lying down its people messin' with my friends regardless of the situation.

Luke and I had a good night. Carbombs and all. (the drink folks) For those that don't know. Its Guiness (8oz) and 1/2 shot Baileys 1/2 shot Jameson. Oh yeah, I didn't partake myself as I had to work at 09:00 to bad its 03:00 now... I should have drank too. Oh well. Oh Course I have Kathy too.

Corrupting

Oh, so are the ways of the wicked. I have a friend who through our relationship has obviously been corrupted. When I first meet this girl. She was all, No I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't party. It's wrong. Besides I don't see the point of doing stuff like that... One trip to San Felipe, several parties, a boy friend, and 2 years later I get this phone call:

Hey Jared, guess what...(I dunno what?) I'm drunk... haha or better yet, I'm a bittle lit tipsy.

From little girl who told me the first time she had anything to drink "I am never drinking again" to girl that same week who finishes the nastiest Pina Colada ever in like 2.3 seconds.

Fast forward a bit to dating her boyfriend.. She begins to Smoke... Gross... and something that cannot be blamed on me. I don't smoke...eww.

Then to the several months of "educating" this girl as to all of the different sex terms. Oh and I mean all of them. Now folks this one isn't through me directly. She can thank my friends Chris, and Sarah for all that.

Forward all the way to last night. I get yet another call. (P.S. Drunk Dialing woohoo.) Hey, Jared what are you doing... wanna come over and drink...(now I hardy could be called a very good student I am like many the king of procrastination)

I respond, umm Robyn its 12:30 am I have work to do.(now comes the kicker)

More conversation etc... Stuff you don't want to hear stuff she would kill me for repeating and then... I went and smoked Hooka for the first time, I wanna do it again sure you don't want to come.
So right. (P.S. Did I mention that my friend not being 21 yet has me buy her drinks at restaurants, and stores. She turns 21 next month though... I'm Kind of scared... I mean does anyone here remember my 21st?)

So have corrupted yet another wholesome individual... well not corrupted. I would use the term "educated" actually. Now she can be a successful member of the college community. Not that you have to party all the time, smoke, and all that. Just that you need to know how to get that "fullexperience" in school and in life. You know?

And thats my new Philosophy!

Worked

Lately, I have been working a lot. Now, it's time to focus back on school. I have soo much philosophy homework to do. Not to mention what I have to do for Theater, and Set Design. Good news is I get to start building models, not that I am sure if I should be excited about that or not. Anyway, haven't had the energy to write much lately, partly thanks to this and going out my favorite bar with Jason. CYT, is going... and thats about all I can say. I don't think I want to do anything for them right now... not at all. My attitude has really changed. If you want to know about theater then ask me and I will tell you how I feel.

I really want to go snowboarding. Hopefully, I can help Jason finish moving all his furniture in to his apartment. Maybe I'll get another free lunch out of it. Haha, I am thinking Pier Cafe in Sea Port Village. Wooo.

-So I am Copying my friend here-


Weekend

Something like this. Friday morning I am making my usual treck to El Cajon for CYT. (Which I was scolded for, more on that to come.) I find out the my friend Jason is back in town! Moments later I am out getting coffee and going to In and Out. A few hours of helping him move and some good quality time later I am happly on my way home to sleep. Saturday I spend much of the day working. Where eveyone is givign me massive props for all the organizing and work I have done with my department. Oh did I mention I actually Love my job. So working is actually fun. Then I go out to Corvette Diner if you havn't been you need to go. It's like on of those once a year type places still hella cool and family. Saturday night, Crystal, Jason, and a bunch of people show up to go out to Numbers this bar. Have a little to much to drink, smoke too much, (esp. since I DONT smoke...) and in the process we all get sperated. So Crystal and I walk to a local Mexican food restraunt my favorite one. (La Fuente) Pick up some Carne asada Fries and witness the most ghetto fight between two gay black guys... umm yeah LOL. Too funny. Yeah think about that one. I end up at my friend Jasons house an hour later. Pass out on the floor... as Jason has as of yet to move his furniture in to his house. Sunday, was spent sleeping in till 1:00 and then I went shoppin'. All in all a very nice weekend.

...a perfect opportunity to be bad. hehe.

Not yet.

Although, I have returned to theater to Music Direct "Anne of Green Gables" for CYT I don't think I was completely ready for it yet. After, "A Chorus Line" literally drained me of all my creativity, energy and enthusiasm. Theater, isn't that fun. I find my self getting very very bored at rehearsals where even I am leading. Maybe it's the learning curve of the kids I am working with. I used to put a lot more of my self in to it. Now, not so much, now I just kinda go and do my part and leave. I guess, I have completely stopped trying. I dunno. Eitherway there is a lot more less stress related to teh production. Though I have done "Anne of Green Gables" like 4 times now. I care about the kids and the show. But, well I think I really did loose my love of theater or something. Perhaps, too much too soon? I don't even hardly feel connected to my work. AT ALL. It's nothing against CYT at all either, I love CYT. Yeah, I think theater really did die for me. Wow, thats a depressing thought. Scary. Now I really don't know what to do. I hope it passes but for now... its not even fun. I don't even look foward to it at all.

Sleepless

I have been staying up relatively late the last few nights. 02:00 or later has been my bed time. Last night I was inspired to write so I put together this short story. I may continue to build it or let it stay. But last night I realized as I was writing it how much I enjoy written expression. Though live spoken expression on stage has always been my preference. There is something wonderful about writing. After all, written words in scripts eventually turn in to speech on stage. I had an idea for a play in my head for the last year or so. I think its time I started acting upon it. I don't have a title yet. The story that I wrote last night is called The last 2 years maybe I'll get more creative and rename it. Who knows? Let me know what you think. Keeping in mind its a first draft. I awoke at 08:30 this morning... why?

Label Victim Part. 1

So here I am sitting at my computer not finishing my room. So I decide to go on-line (gasp) and check out the Abercrombie Website and go and do a little shopping on my meager Work salary and about $100.00 later here I am. All leading up to this...



What prep label are you?

The Ironic thing about my recent shopping spree is that for a very long time now almost a year I haven't bought any abercrombie clothing. I have been sticking with, Anchor blue, Old Navy, any old thing really. I guess I do have a lot of Tommy clothes, DKNY (for work) and been buying a lot of Dickies stuff lately too. Thanks to this one here I think I want to go buy some new shoes. Nothing like giving in to the impulse buying needs to make one feel better. More on label victim to come.

Late and tired...

See how late it is, I can't sleep. I put my new desk together though. Its pretty nice... except now the mess that was my desk is now strewn all over my bed and I can't sleep. Ill fix that make the bed and hopefully be off to dream land before 4:00 am. I have to run at 9:00 so tomorrow or today rather is going to be a long... very long day.

-J

I have arrived

I am getting ready to really make this B-log happen. I am in the process of making the comment box more visually pleasing. So pleast bear with me. I will eventually be archiving the old B-logs or at least a few special ones from Xanga. You can still check out the Xanga here. For now this is the new site. I am working on formatting and all that... I am totally new to CSS and have limited PHP and CGI experience any help is more then welcome. Now on with the show.

I have been working almost 40 hours every week, its a wonder I still make it to school and all but things seem to be going well. Been able to go out a lot lately and been spending almost every day hanging out with Luke and Chris. Luke is really pushing me with my running, so hopefully Ill be ready for a Kick Ass snowboarding season. I want to get another board. Though I love mine I think it's time, though it has taken a while to brake mine in I dunno I have been looking at my latest issue of TransWorld. So big surprise I want somthing else... besides the Laptop, I-pod, and Flat Screen Monitor. HAHA.
