MEATBALLS
Hey everybody...the title of this entry is becasue I'm watching the part of The Wedding Singer where the old woman pays Adam Sandler's character with meatballs..."hold out your hands!!!" and then she puts two meatballs in his hands and ten grabs his hands, squishing all of them into his hands. In case you didn't get it, I am watching The Wedding Singer tonight. Of course, I give it 5 stars, just like every other Sandler movie...minus Going Overboard, a NO BUDGET film. Oh man...I have to work today at 7-3...that's 07:00-15:00, which means i have to be at work in 5 hours and 45 minutes. OH WELL. I'm use to working on not a lot of sleep, so I'll be ok. Well, there's really not much to say so i'll say goodbye! GOODBYE!!!

A very EXPENSIVE week for being me
Oh man people...from May 9th until May 16th, I have to buy gifts for 5 different occassions. Well, I don't HAVE to, but I like to. Here's a list of all my expenses for people this week...
1. May 9th - My sister's Birthday : The Neverending Story on DVD -- $15.00
2. May 9th - Andrew (Salinas)'s birthday : A book of the first six Hulk comic books plus a Hulk keychain -- $20.00
3. May 11th - Mother's Day : A Michelle Branch CD along with an armrest for her laptop (she's been complaining about her wrists being in pain) -- $20.00 (I also gave her a coupon for a day without farts, but that was free)
4. May 12th - Christina (Salinas)'s Birthday : This is the only person I didn't really spend any money on , but I gave her something that became close to me plus a CD she's been wanting (Linkin Park: Meteora)
5. May 16th - Dad's Birthday : A new golf shirt -- $15.00
6. Helping create a big smile on the ones I love -- PRICELESS
I wanna take this time to tell all those people what they mean to me...ONLINE, in case they lose or misplace the card that I gave them-->the numbers will match up with the numbers right above
1. Hey Kris...you're such a cool sister, and I wouldn't ask for anybody else to have grown up with. You always know how to have a good time, and I thank you for not ratting my parties out when m&d didn't know about them. Love ya sis...always will.
2. Hey "Drewfus!" You're the coolest TEENAGER I know, and we won't stop being friends, despite our seven year age difference. You are my brother...and will always be.
3. Hey mom...I know sometimes I'm a little shit, but that doesn't mean that I stop loving you. You are my mother, and not anything or anybody can change the feeling of love towards you. I love ya mom...always will.
4. Hey Pilar Christina Salinas "PPPP"(<--you know what that means). We've only REALLY been friends for four years, but I feel as if we've known eachother our whole lives. You are such a beautiful, smart, and sincere, and I just know that we'll nver stop being friends. I love ya Sprint...always will.
5. Dad...what can I say? You're the get out of jail free card when mom and I are arguing. You take the stress off of her with your easing voice and your love towards her. You are also one of the coolest dads that I know of, and I'm always telling my friends how cool you are. I might deny it at times, but the truth is, "like father, like son." I would only be so lucky if I grew up to be half the man that you are. I love ya dad...always will.
6. Can't really say anything about this...but I love it when I make people happy.
Basically, what this says is that even though I spent $70.00 on things not for me, it feels good getting stuff for the ones who you care about. The real reward is seeing that big smile on their face when you hand them the gift. If you're lucky, you may even get a big hug from the person, and that just makes your day when that happens. Well, it might not make your day, but it makes me feel glorious. This weekend was ironically uneventful though, having all these celebrations. I had to work on friday and saturday. Sunday, I took a drive up to best buy to split a deal with my sister...that "2 for $20 on certain DVDs" sale. She got Bridget Jone's Diary and I got The Sixth Sense. I actually think that the only kinds of movies that Hugh Grant knows how to be in are these romantic comedies, or as my friend up in Evanston likes to call 'em, "Romadies." I love The Sixth Sense but I'm afraid it never really took me by surprise. I watched the DVD extras before watching the movie, and I found out the whole twist at the end BEFORE I watched the movie. I don't wanna ruin it for anyone else who hasn't seen it. On monday, I was BORED-OUT-OF-MY-MIND...this is gonna be hell until my best friend comes home from Nothwestern. I might go crazy, being cooped up in this house for a long time. I might even have to make a video everyday, trying new techniques with my video camera and video program.
I'm glad to say, my hand is starting to feel better...I even started playing the drums yesturday! One thing is clear though...I've learned my lesson about not taking my rage out on my drums...or anything else for that matter. I just need to take a deep breath and count to ten. YEAH...that'll work. Tuesday was pretty boring too, but I DID get up at 09:00 for my chemotherapy, and I got started for the day early. I cleaned my room for my grandparents coming home today, and I took apart my bed so that I can move it with my dad for them (my room is filled up with too much stuff like the computer, DVD Player, surround sound system, et cetera). So tonight I have to sleep on my old twin size bed, but first I have to make it, which I DO NOT think I will be doing.
OH! I almost forgot...today was my last chemotherapy treatment!!! I am so glad!!! So all of the medicines that I was on for my TTP, I am now off! ALL OF THEM!!! All this hospital stuff has been quite a struggle, and I am glad to say, THINGS ARE OVER! I HOPE. Ya know, there are nights where I wish that I would have never gotten all of these disesase, but one of my best friends, Christina, told me some words that helped me with that. She made me see that God has a plan for me, and I shouldn't wish against God's will. So now whenever I have those kind of nights, I'll think of that, and take pride in my diseases like I do most of the time.
I GOT ALL A'S AND ONE 'B' FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER OF COLLEGE!!! Now my cumulative GPA is a 3.5! I can be in the honors program called, "Phi Theta Kappa!!!" I'm so glad about that. But ya know what's weird? The one class I made the 'B' in was the only class I made an 'A' in last semester. The rest of my classes I raised to an 'A' from a 'B'. Maybe I AM geting smarter from all this college stuff. Hehehe. So, today was a good day until I started thinking about a lot of stuff at night. But I think I'll get through the things on my mind, and things are gonna be ok. It might take a while, but things will be ok. Well, that's long enough for an update, so I'll update when I update. Nighters!

My hand hurts...
Hey everyone...today was the last day of school (last day of tests) and that's all awesome and stuff, but I'm afraid I'm just not ecstatic right now. Ya see, my hand REALLY hurts because I did a stupid thing. My mom and I got into this huge argument about checking my blood sugars, and I became so furious that i just had to hit something...so I did. The snare drum that I don't use. I hit it a little too hard at the wrong angle, and now my hand hurts like hell. I'm glad to say that I came to my senses and apologized to my mom with a big hug. Anyway...yeah. This summer is the summer of working, and considering that I make $9.25 an hour, I will be ranking it in...if my boss gives me sufficient hours that is. I'm afraid that I can't promise any of my friends jobs anymore since the hospital has hired SO MANY PEOPLE...mainly students. I would like to apologize to Christina Salinas most of all though (IF she does'nt get a job)...I know that you want to work in the hospital so much and that you're depending on it. I would love it if you worked there, but there's no guarantee. Hopefully though!!! Tonight I am watching Spirited Away...that movie that won the oscar for best animated film. So far ITS GOOD!!! My goal this week is to not buy a movie with this paycheck! Let's hope I go through with it!!! Well I'm gonna go put some ice on this hand and watch this movie, so I'll keep you up to date with my extremely interesting life!!!

Last day of school!!!
Hey everybody...well, I made it through a whole year of college. This is great. My last two lectures are today, and I'm not even stressing over the exams. That's how comfortable in knowing that I have learned all the material, and it has stayed in my head! This stuff is getting easier as I become more responsible (studying, paying bills, budgeting my paychecks,etc.). Today, I bought a new cell phone!!! It's nothing glamourous, but its better than my old dinosaur phone. I got a Nokia 1261-->It was free with a two year sign up and I have to donate twenty dollars to Special Olympics, which I feel good about. After english this morning, I waited around school for about an hour waiting for my friend, Ali, so that I could give something. That gave me time to study up on my biology drawings. We're having a lab practical toda, and I couldn't be anymore prepared. Well, maybe a little. I left school, and then went to buy the phone!!! Came home, sat around watching MTV for a few hours, and playing on the internet too. I took about a 2 hour nap at about 15:30, and that felt GREAT. I downloaded the Super Mario Brothers ring tone on my phone, and then I went to go check the mail. I received my movie!!! One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest with Jack Nicholson. GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT movie. I wouldn't DEFINENTLY reccommend it. I went to James Coney Island, and lemme tell ya...PACKED!!! I kept on thinking why it was so full, and while I was waiting for my order, I looked outside, and on the sign it read, "WEDNESDAY NIGHTS! KIDS EAT FREE FROM 4PM TO CLOSE!"
I looked at my watch, and it said 18:30. RIGHT at dinner time. So many screaming kids just runnin' around that place. Oh well. I actually like kids. Someday I would like to have two boys and a girl of my own, of course having the girl first. I ate my jumbo hotdog, and tator tots when I got home, and they were GREAT! I watched "Angel" and the started to watch One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. A few scenes actually brought a tear to my eye, and the movie moved me. That's what the best movies out there are suppose to do...reach tou on the inside, and bring up your emotions. I studied a little more for biology, and then I took a 3 minute nap on the ole beddy bed. That's about all that happened in my ever so exciting day. Talk to ya tomorrow!!!

I BEAT IT!!!
Hey all you Radke-oers out there!!! This entry is brought to you by the wonderful people at RadkeTECH. RadkeTECH: Trying Harder Than the Gerbils.
Today I woke up, and went to school to GLADLY turn in my research paper. After english, I went to Wal-Mart to get Wild Things and As Good As It Gets. I went to my last history class EVER, and it went rather well. Hey, my partners and I got a 94 on that heart project that we did! I got home at around 13:50, and started watching Wild Things. My dad came home with a pepperoni pizza from Brothers Pizza. That's good stuff!!! I finished Wild Things, and then went to my second favorite family's place (The Salinas Household). I beat "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker" and that was AWESOME!!! Sorry you didn't see the ending Andrew! After catching up with my best girl buddy, Christina Salinas, I went home at 21:30. At 22:30, I watched As Good As It Gets. This is REALLY good movie!!! I saw it with mi familia in the theatres when it came out, and I've liked it ever since! Well, I guess there is really nothing else to say, so I'll talk to you Radke fans tomorrow! Bye!!!

I'M FINALLY DONE!!! YAR!!!
Hey everybody!!! Well, I finally did it..I finished my research paper for english. I cam to the conclusion that Hamlet was indeed never mad, but he was just mad with anger towards his uncle for killing his father, the former king of Denmark. You prolly have to read or watch the story to follow that. My stress is over now, and all I have to worry about is my final exam in english, the calculus problem i have to make up dealing with my workplace, my history final, and my biology cumulative final. I'm not so worried about the history, or biology (i have abnout 40-50 pages of notes from the whole semester). The classes I am getting worried about are english and calculus. In english, I haven't really read ANYTHING besides John Updike's A&P and Hamlet. Oh well...I REALLY want a 'b' in there so that I will get a 3.5 GPA so I could get into Phi Theta Kappa (organization that gives out LOTS of scholarships and it looks GREAT on your record). Calculus is gonna be hard, because I'm A LOT better at solving mathematical problems than making them up. I'm gonna have to really think long and hard about this one. On saturday night, I got home from work, popped in Hamlet, the 2000 version with Ethan Hawke and Julia Stiles and watched that to get ideas about my paper. That play is truly a great play, and I think you can't really apppreciate it until you'e a little older rather than reading it in juinor high or high school. Shakespeare was a genius when it came to writing plays, and I enjoy reading his words anyday. i bought the "Family Guy" DVD (first and second season). If you are not familiar with "Family Guy", then I definently reccomend it. It is HILARIOUS!!! That's what I've been watching for the past like two nights. I still have two more discs to go! Tonight, I watched the movie, The Craft with Neve Cambell. OH MAN! I've had a thing for her ever since I saw her for the first time on "Party of Five." This movie is a great movie (especially if you're a witch...Kristina (my sister<--who came home this weekend and spent a TOTAL of at LEAST 15 minutes in our home). Oh well...she's growing up, and moving to bigger and better things. But she's still my sister and I love her. She comes home just about every weekend to spend time with her boyfriend, Grant Mueller, and also to use me for my extensive movie collection.
To see a complete list of the movies i have, click HERE.
Well, I think you all have had enough of my talking for one night, so I'm gonna hit the sack...and then go to bed. Hahahaha. Just kidding. Nighters!

Was Hamlet MAD?
Hey everyone...today sucked. I had to wake up an hour before I usually do, for the guys that cleaned out our vents (they had to get in my room). When I got to school, I felt like shit. I think the chemo had a worse reaction than usual, and I felt it A LOT. I was weak all over, and my stomach was twisting & turning. Not a good feeling. I found out that I have an 'A' in biology right now, and I hope I can keep it. That makes three A's and one C so far. Damn english...which brings me to the title of this entry. I need to write a 1000 to 1500 word paper about how Hamlet was mad (insane) or not, and have sources since it's a research paper. I haven't started yet, and it's due monday. I'll be doing it all sunday I guess. Tonight I am watching the movie X-Men, and I watched the new justice league dvd right before it. Man I can't wait until X2 comes out. Its gonna be so awesome. And after that, The Hulk & T3: Rise of the Machines. This summer will be GREAT.
OH! Remember that ticket I got? Well, I went down to the courthouse today to see if I could take care of it, but the people down there told me I couldn't pay it until my court date. Now what the fark...I went all the way up there, waited in line for 45 minutes to an hour, and then they just blow me off just like that? They could have told me when to come or at LEAST smiled. They were so damn rude down there. Oh well. I think they act that way to motivate you to NOT get another ticket. I came home after that, and then sat in front of the computer screen for about 30 minutes, and after losing confidence in writing a good paper, I went out to buy a DVD (which was that Justice League DVD). When I got back, my mom and dad were home, trying to figure out what we were gonna eat tonight. We agreed on Fudruckers and then left. At Fudruckers, we all ordered our food, and my dad ordered a whole pitcher of beer (after having about three Jack Daniels Hard Cola at home). My dad passes me the keys when he sits down to make sure he doesn't drive home drunk (he's way responcible like that). So, my dad gets a LITTLE tipsy (notice the sarcasm), and then I drive myself, my dad, and my mom home. I sit down in an attempt to write my paper, but no words are flowing out. This is horrible. So I start watching these DVDs and that's what I'm doing right now. I'm gonna get off now and finish this movie, so I'll cath you guys later. Bye!!! Wish me luck on the paper!!!

I feel like poop
Oh man...I feel sick today. I woke up with a low blood sugar, and I went downstairs to eat one-forth of a watermelon. I took a shower after that, and then got dressed to go to work. That's right people...I'm dedicated to my job THAT much. I've never called in sick or anything even on the days that I get my chemotherapy. The only good thing about today was that I didn't have any school, so I slept in...until 13:00. Hahaha. Well, I can't take care of my ticket since I have no money in my checking account, so I have to wait until payday, which is tomorrow. Yay. Sixty whole hours!!! I'll be rankin' in this week. Work is good today so far, and I can't find my mother anywhere in sight. My boss which is her boss which is ALSO her best friend was looking for her and asked me to find her. This isn't like her to just get up and dissappear. Nobody knows where she is. It's weird. Well, this is my last day to do my "sit on ass" job, and on friday I'll be courier again. But come summer, I'll be working about everyday on a "sit on ass" job. Ah, good times. On every entry now, I think I'm gonna try to put a cool website at the end, like the games on the last entry. I think I know some pretty good sites, and I would LOVE to share them with my loving fans. Well, that's enough out of me for today. I wish you all, GOOD DAY.

It finally happened...DAMN.
OK people...I'm at work again on my "sit on my ass" job again, but I am not as cheerie as yesturday. Ya see, this morning at 09:00 I had a doctors appointment, and to start off with my bad day, I woke up 10 minutes before I had to leave. I rushed in the shower, grabbed some pop tarts, and out the door I was. I got to the office 30 minutes late becasue of the traffic, but they see me anyway...they love me down there. The doctor visit went well, but that's not when the crap started happening. Since my first class is at 10:00, I was going to be late, which i HATE to be. Well I wasn't thinking, and I was rushing down the feeder at 64 mph. Now, the speed limit is 45, and to my luck, theree wasa cop parked in a parking lot. I thought since he was parked, he would be able to get me to stop, and I didn't see anyone in the car so I thought he wasn't even there. Well, to my surprise, he walks on the middle of my lane and puts up his hand telling me to stop, and then signaled me to go into the parking lot he was in. SHIT. At this time, I was thinking, "I got pulled over by a parked cop...DAMN." Well, I never try to make any excuses because I figure I can't say anything that will make him NOT give me a ticket. So I wait there patiently for my ticket, thinking about taking the damn defensive driving again. Oh well...I need to brush up on my driving knowledge anyway. Lemme tell ya...your second ticket is MUCH easier on you then your first. When you get a ticket for the first time, you feel like as if you've killed someone or committed a serious crime. The second time its just like,"Oh well, everyone gets tickets...I have to pay for the damn defensive driving. Life will go on." Everyone out there take my advice...don't go 64 in a 45. A little lesson for the kiddies. I must say though...I deserved it, and I probably needed some eye opening about my heavy foot. So this could be good for me. I got a 91 on my bio plant test!!! Ya know...the one i studied for when I made the title of my entry, "Gymnosperms, Angiosperms, Antheridia, Archegonia, AHHH!!!" I was happy because of that. Calculus was good and short...only about 45 minutes today. After school I had to go get my chemo which went well...good nap. I actually have veins now that they can get...I used to be stuck 3-4 times a few months ago. My doctor told me that I might only have about two more chemo treatments and then I'll be off them. That's GREAT!!! All of my hospital stuff has been extremely hard for my family and friends...both economically and emotionally. Of course i don't have to pay anything (my parents do), but I was hit HARD emotionally. There has been times in the past where I just broke down in my room asking, "Why do I have all these diseases? Why did you give them to me? Why am I sick all the time? Why can't I be truly happy?" In these times I have all of my friends to fall back on and reassure me that I AM a significant person on this Earth, and they always cheer me up when I'm in the slump. Especially my good friends, Christina, Ana, Christin, Faith, Melissa, etc. The list keeps going on and on until it falls off the face of the Earth. These breakdowns are not as frequent as they used to be when i was in seventh grade, but they're still there occassionally. I think the don't happen as often since i started taking pridein all my diseases. Yeah...that's it. Well, I think I've written enough for today...your eyes must be tired...go let them sleep...with you...in your bed...tonight. Hahaha. Later my peeps!!!
