Monday, July 7th, 2003 13:40 - Happy LATE Birthday, America!!! Hey everyone!!! Wow!!! This has been a great weekend?well, it started out kinda crappy, but it picked up very soon after. Well, it was Independence Day, and like every year, I?m usually hangin? out with my friends while my parents go watch the fireworks at the horse tracks. At about 20:30 on Friday, Johnny?s dad took us (Johnny, Andrew, and me) to watch the horse track fireworks without actually going into the racetrack. He parked in a parking lot of a grade school, and we hung out and watched the fireworks for a little bit. After we were done there, on our way back home, we got a glimpse of of the horse track parking lot, and it was FILLED UP. I?ve never seen that parking lot THAT full. Well, we made it home, and we watched Johnny?s neighbors have their little celebration. They always go all out on the Fourth of July and New Year?s Eve. Those fireworks were badass, and after they were done with all the fireworks, we took a trip to my house, and I played some piano and drums for Christina, Christin, Johnny, and Andrew. After Christin went home, Christina, Johnny, and Andrew were still up for doing something. I popped in Zoolander into the DVD player downstairs, and soon after we started it, my parents came in the door, with this GREAT kettle corn popcorn from the racetrack. I give Zoolander five stars, because it is one of the funniest movies I own, and it never gets old. Andrew had to go home earlier than Johnny and Christina, so Johnny took him home, and then came back to finish up the movie. When the movie was finished, the remaining Salinas kids were on their way. On Saturday, I woke up at about noon, and then got dressed to go to a few stores. I went to Johnny?s house, and we talked about making a movie this summer, instead of more RadkeVIDEOS. Oh yeah?if you have Kazaa, I put my videos in my shared folder, so you can search for them now!!! You prolly won?t be able to find the videos, but it?s worth a shot!!! We thought about making a Megaman movie first, and then thought about making a Legend of Zelda movie, but both ideas go shot down once we were thinking about reality. We just don?t have the right settings or special effects to make movies like that. Hopefully, we?ll figure out a good enough movie that will be both entertaining and easy to make. After Johnny got ready, we went to Fry?s Electronics to buy me a CD player for my drumroom. I didn?t get the one at Fry?s that I wanted, but I got a cool one that I saw at Best Buy. That was the gift from my parents!!! Thanks mom and dad!!! When we got back from electronic shopping, my dad was grilling the fish that he caught a few days ago. I?m not much of a fish guy, so I didn?t have that much. When we were done, we hung out in my room a little bit, and then we decided to go do something. After going to Johnny?s to get Christina and Ana, we went to Erin Gardner?s house to hang out a little bit. We stayed there and chatted it up with Erin and her friends, and then we went to watch Johnny?s brother David?s fireworks that he didn?t get to use on the fourth. When he ran out of fireworks, we went back to Erin?s house to hang out some more. I really like this girl?and I could only hope that something could happen. I?m gonna have to get over my whole shy guy thing first though. We got back home at around 01:30, and I passed out right away as soon as my head touched my pillow. I wanna thank Erin again for lettin? me and my friends chill at your place. On Sunday, I rested almost all day. I slept until about 16:00, and that felt GREAT. Sometimes you just gotta have a full day of rest without doing anything. After I woke up, I went downstairs and had some of my mom?s excellent sour soup that she makes ever so well. I watched Just Married after I ate, and was not too impressed by it. I give that movie a C+, because it sort of got to my emotions in the end. Since I was inside the house all day, I had to get out?even if it was for an hour or so. I went to return the movie, and then I went to Kroger to get some soda for my fridge upstairs. I went to Walgreens also to say hey to Dave. I wanted to say hi to Sam at the Walgreens on Queenston and 529, but I didn?t know that it isn?t a 24 hour Walgreens. When I got home, I put the Diet Cherry Cokes in my fridge, and started to watch the movie, Ocean?s Eleven. This is a really good movie?I give it an A+, for having a good plot, great actors, and a great remake of an old Rat Pack movie. I went to sleep after watching the Jackoffasaur episode of South Park. This morning I woke up at 11:45, and got ready for work in 15 minutes. I had a bagel with cream cheese, and then I was on my way. So here I am now, updating all my fans on what is Radke. That?s all I have to say for now, so I?ll let all you girls and guys go!!! Bye!!! Oh?just to remind everybody once again, I have a Guestbook now, and I urge you all to sign it!!! New caption contest!!! Website: Pennies Pennies Pennies!!! - This site is pretty cool and quite interesting Shot out: Erin Gardner ? For being such a cool person, and letting me and my friends hang out at your house. I?m not gonna deny it?I like this girl. current mood: In a state of Goodliness current music: Nirvana ? Smells Like Teen Spirit Comments Thursday, July 3rd, 2003 14:20 - Wowsas!!! Hey everyone!!! It?s me?Jonathan Radke!!! Here to tell you about the past couple days!!! Yeah!!! Um ok?enough with the exclamation marks. Well, three more!!! Well on Tuesday night (still my birthday), my mom, dad, sister, best friend (Johnny Salinas), and I went to a Mexican restaurant called ?Maracas.? It had good food, but my meal ended kind of sickly?I ordered the flan because my sister said that it was real good, but when we got it, she was like, ?Oh THAT?S flan? I was thinking of something else.? Flan is this kinda slimy dessert stuff that has a bunch of cinnamon and sweet stuff in it. Too sweet for me?I had two bites and that was about enough. Flan just isn?t for everyone, but my mom loved it. After the restaurant, Johnny and I went to Blockbuster to rent a movie, and then on to Wal-Mart, to look at their movie and game selection?also all the blacklight stuff. Don?t get me wrong?Wal-Mart is great, but for blacklight stuff, the place to go is Spencer?s Gifts. When we were done at Wal-Mart, we stopped by at my house to thank my parents for the food, and I had to show Johnny a few of my additions to my DVD collection and my new improved blacklight drumroom. We hung out there for a little bit, and then we went back to Johnny?s house to watch the movies. Ana Valladares and Christin Moore were there, and they wished me a happy birthday also. By the way?thanks for the attempted volcano cookie Ana and Christin!!! Thanks for the homemade rain-maker too!!! The card was sweet also?THANKS BUNCHES!!! Thank you also Salinas kids for the $$$!!! I promise I won?t spend it all in one place. I have the bestest friends in the world, and the bestest first and second families (Radke and Salinas)!!! That same night, we watched the end of How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days and watched Punch Drunk Love?THAT is one weird movie. Definitely not Adam Sandler?s usual type of movie, but I enjoyed it?a little weird, but interesting, even though it really had no plot. I dunno if I?ll be buying it though?it would clash with the rest of the Sandler movies. Maybe though?we?ll just have to wait and see. When the movie was done, I went back home. The time was about 03:00 now, and I was still wide awake. I gave it a few minutes (45 to be close to exact), and then I fell asleep while watching the Christmas episode of South Park. Well, on Wednesday I woke up at 11:00, and I went into work at 13:00 to get off at 21:00. I bought another pack of glow in the dark stars for my drumroom, since only half of it is done, and I thought about buying one more poster, but I decided not to, since they didn?t have the one I wanted. I want to get one of these posters for my drumroom. I want to know what you guys think!!! Remember though?the other two posters in my drumroom are a panther and a dragon. We?ll see which one I choose when I choose it. But gimme your opinions!!! Ok?back to my life. After I got off of work, I went to meet Andrew, Christina, Johnny, David, and David?s girlfriend, Jackie, at the movies to see Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. I actually liked this movie. A LOT of action?just what we expected. It leaves room for another few sequels also. I think Arnold is the most perfect actor for a robot. He?s great in it. Although, I didn?t need to see his ass. Overall, I give the movie an A+?good plot, good characters, good movie. When we got out of the theatre, I started to feel low, and I had to get home before it really affected me. I got home, and then I ate a few of the delicious freshly baked tortillas that I got from Mrs. Salinas, with some ham and cheese. Hahaha?we had no fajita meat. I gulped down a few Capri Suns too. I fell asleep at like 04:00, after watching a couple episodes of South Park. This morning I work up at 11:15, and started to get ready for work. I left at 12:20, because I had to eat and all. Man the rain was comin? down HARD when I left. I think I drove 40 the whole way there?even on Beltway 8. I just didn?t want to start hydroplaning or anything. It?s ok I was a little late for work, because I didn?t want to speed there and get killed. Now here I am?updating?aren?t you glad?!?! I told you all that I was going to post everyone?s "Happy Birthday" to me, and I promise I will once I get home. Later Days!!! (<--Gay thing that these kids say in this show, "The Weekenders"). Website: Final poster for my drumroom - Help me choose!!! Shot outS: I wanna take this time to thank everybody who gave me a gift, and those who said "Happy Birthday" to me?thanks bunches!!! You made this birthday GREAT!!! current mood: Concentrating Mood?(I?m at work)-->not much concentration but still SOME current music: Stone Sour - Bother Comments Tuesday, July 1st, 2003 (MY BIRTHDAY!!!) 11:49 - By the time I?m done writing this entry, I WILL be 20 Hey everybody!!! Guess what!!! Today marks the day my mother gave birth to me?in other words, my birthday!!! Man I can?t believe that it?s already been twenty years since my mom squeezed me out. Hahaha?EWWW. Not a pretty picture in my head. If you guys haven?t ever seen my new born picture, I came out cross eyed, but none the less, cute. I?ll post my picture once I get home?I?ll add it to this entry. Well then?on Sunday, I finished cleaning my room and drumroom. Jimmy Picone came over to help us out with our wireless dsl sh*t. He got it to work, and then I showed off my mad drum skills. I?m pretty sure he was impressed?I mean, since it was the best I?ve played my drums in a while. When he went home, I started painting the TV stand that my new CD player will go on, and so far, it looked badass. In case you girls and guys didn?t notice, "badass" is one of my favorite expressions to use. That and "what the sh*t?" Hahaha. Oh yeah?I use the *s, because I would like to keep this Journal PG, for people who get offended by that language, and plus?I don?t want my mom bit*h me out about using fowl language on the internet. Hahaha. Anyway...back to the TV stand thing. Well, since I wanted to color the background of it white, I brought it into the garage, and painted it down there. I didn?t want to get any paint on the carpet of the drumroom. I was stupid and I painted my name before I colored the background, so I had to paint over my name, and then redraw it. But that?s alright?I had time to do it. I must say, that TV stand looks badass (ßya see?) Well, on Monday, I woke up late for work?I woke up at 14:30 (I was suppose to work at 13:00). I woke up thanks to my dad, and I woke up hypoglycemic (low blood sugar). I scarfed down some cereal (Smacks) and then I took a shower and got ready for work. I worked from 15:30-23:30, and it turned out ok. While I was at work, I received a call from Kristyn Fukawa and Erin Gardner, and they wanted to chill tonight. So when I got home, I called them up, and we ended up going to Denny?s to hang out a little bit. I was glad I went, because I really wanted to see Erin and talk with her some. When I got home, I went to sleep with a smile on my face and good thoughts in my head. Although I did not ask Erin out on a date, I feel like I made a good impression on her, even though she felt a little sick. This morning I woke up at 06:00, from being hyperglycemic (high blood sugar), and I put a new cartridge in my insulin pump. I went back to sleep for a few more hours, and the next time I woke up, I was hypoglycemic again. I finished the rest of our juice, and I ate a BIG bowl of Cocoa Puffs. I took a shower, and then I left for work. So here I am, and it is 12:15. I told you all that I would be 20 by the time I finished this entry (I was born exactly at noon).Since I have nothing else to say, I say goodbye!!!

Well I have two more days, or to be exact, look at the countdown at the top of the page. On saturday, I woke up, and then started cleaning my room...filthy filthy stuff. It's all cleaned up now, and guess how many soda cans I found...35!!! Also, four Mountain Dew LiveWire bottles. Man...I'm a pig...hahaha. I also went to Kroger and bought some ham and salami with a twelve pack of Diet Sunkist and some new Butter and Garlic Ritz crackers. I went to the Cozart's house (first cousin of mother) to get my birthday gift. I received one of those chairs that you get in the packs for like camping or something like that...GREAT for a chill seat in my drumroom. I also got a polo styple shirt, and some socks from them. Oh yeah twenty bucks too. While I was at their house, I checked out my Uncle Jim's guitar and music stuff...BADASS equipment. He can do so much shit with all the stuf he has. He kicks ass at guitar too...blows me away. Tonight I am watching South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, and since I've liked South Park ever since it premiered, I must give it a "10." Although a few of my best friends completely dissagree with me *cough* Melissa Johnson *cough* Matt Muskiet *cough* hahaha...I like this movie. Well, there really isn't much more to tell all of you Radkians, so I'll sign out saying..."Bacon!!!"

Comments Friday, June 27, 2003 18:38 - Jonathan Robert Radke: Stupidest H.F.D.W.N.S. on the Earth!!! Hey everybody!!! This is Jonathan R. Radke, the (see above)!!! Or for you best friends out there, the name?s ___________(sorry it?s SECRET)!!! Well, this is another fine evening at Memorial Hermann Memorial City Hospital (gotta get the name right for legal purposes). Tonight I tried the beef enchiladas that they sell in the cafeteria over here, because they looked like the ones back at Langham Creek that I loved!!! Those were excellent?even though they looked like sh*t!!!hahaha?ok?recap?well? On Thursday, I woke up at around 11:00, wanting to go in at noon, but that didn?t really work out since I started to watch episodes of South Park that I haven?t seen. I got into work at 13:00, and I worked until about 17:00. Now I worked only four hours, because I had to go to the Bush Intercontinental Airport to pick up Christina Salinas and Maria Salinas (their mom, which I address as Mrs. Salinas). Well, my mom rode with me to make sure I didn?t get lost, and she drove back, because I didn?t want Mrs. Salinas to sit in the back seat. Plus, Sprint and I got time to chat, so that was nice. My mom dropped me off at work again at around 19:00, and since I had to work another 4 hours, I stayed there until 23:15 or so. I got to watch the new Ren and Stimpy cartoon though!!! It?s a little TOO graphic and disgusting?they went overboard, but it was entertaining. For all of you that don?t know, The Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon Show along with other adult type cartoons are on the new TNN on Thursday nights at 21:00. They even have classic Ren and Stimpy episodes!!! Last night was the greatest night of my life. Hahaha. I got home, and I watched the movie, At First Sight, starring Val Kilmer and Mira Sorvino. That was a good movie, and I give it a B+, mainly because it was depressing. Today is Friday, and today is the last day of the pay period. PHAT PAYCHECK COMIN? UP!!! I won?t have to live off of seven bucks anymore!!! I woke up late due to a low blood sugar this morning, so I have to work from 14:00-22:00. Eh?it?s okay. The word today is "whoofalla"!!! Whoofalla (n): Something that appears absurd or foolish. Ex. Jonathan Radke is ugly!?!? WHOOFALLA!!! Oh?the title of this entry is because I have been telling everybody that my birthday is on Monday, but to my surprise, July 1st isn?t until Tuesday. I realized this today, and when I thought of this, I felt so stupid. It?s weird?it?s only one day longer, but it feels like so much longer. OH WELL. Just gives me another day to use the excuse "I?m a teenager!!!" I think I?ll take advantage of that on Monday. Hahaha. Ok well, I must go now, for I am the bed finder (prestigious trumpets playing the background). Laterz!!! Website: Fu** - See the ACTUAL definition!!! Shot out: Bakaloidavoogeekapa ? I love ya bro!!!

Hey everyone out there that ACTUALLY reads this journal!!! How are the three of you doing?!? I don?t know if you know this, but there is a guestbook that people can sign now for this page?Sign it!!! I would love to see what people think of the site!!! But just remember?all entries can be used against you in a court of law. I strongly urge you to check it out. The link to the guestbook is right below my ever-so handsome picture at the piano (at the top). Well, my life just got a little shittier, but I still have a great life!!! Lemme explain?ya see, the guy that trained me on how to do this job told me that I can pretty much choose my hours, so I have been coming in at different times. This morning, about an hour ago, my boss called me into her office and asked me about clocking in at different times. I was getting a little worried, because I didn?t want to put all the blame on Taymur, because I might have understood him wrong. Well, since my mom is like best friends with my boss, and I?m like the son she never had, I think it went allright. Just like everything else, there are advantages and disadvantages of having your mom and your boss best friends. Well, I did it again?I went to sleep at 03:00, with knowing that I had to get up at 07:45. Eh?this job doesn?t exactly require me to be FULLY awake. I?m a night owl, and I LOVE the nighttime. Yesterday, I came to work at noon, and started right when I got there. I went to get a little bite to eat with Pratho at the Taco Bell in the mall, and he told me that he was gonna buy a Playstation 2 today. Being an extreme gamer and all, I did what any friend would do and make sure he had enough money, and if he did, supported his decision. When I got off of work at 20:00, I went to Pratho?s because I told him that he could have my extra TV if he gave me his mini-fridge that he isn?t using. I?ve been wanting a mini-fridge for a LONG TIME, and this was the perfect opportunity for me. We took a drive to my house, exchanged the items, and he was on his way. The whole night I was downloading the South Park episodes that I haven?t seen, and watching them, so that?s what I did. That is TRULY one of the best cartoons on TV. If you?re still unsure about what you think about the show, then download these episodes: "The Biggest Douche In the Universe," "Osama Bin Laden has Farty pants," and "Towelie." Those are some of my favorites most definitely. Now to get up this morning, I made this new system like thing. First of all, I set my pager, cell phone, and alarm clock at the same times to make sure they are corresponding. Then I set my pager for one time, my alarm clock for three minutes after that, and finally my cell phone for three more minutes after that. I do this incase I accidentally press SNOOZE without knowing that I did, and if I did, I would have another alarm clock to wake me up, so it all works out. I drove to work, and then I did a round. Now I am sitting here, updating my Journal. But right NOW I will be leaving you all to bask in the greatness of "Radke."

The Leaving Song Part 2 Comments Tuesday, June 24th, 2003 02:35 - Exactely one week from today...eh. Hey everyone!!! Man...I didn't update all weekend!!! I must have been having a blast!!! Let's see...let's see.......well, as most of you know, I saw The Hulk on Friday night. Now for an average person, this movie is a good one, but nothing special. But to fans that have grown up reading comic books and keeping up with the Marvel things, this is an EXCELLENT movie!!! Now you may call me a nerd, but i don't care...why should I care what others think about me? This is why I don't go along with the trends ro ttry to act like someone I'm not...I'm Jonathan Robert Radke, and there's nothing that can change that...and I don't WANT anything to change that!!! I think I am a yooneek person, and I think most people like the person that I am. I am a good person, and if you don't agree with me, then I'll just say "everyone is entitled to their own opinion," and I'll just take it that you don't like me. Life goes on. Man...I really got thrown off track of what I was talking about...back to the update!!! After the movie(01:00), I came home and watched the movie The Recruit. That's a really good movie...I mean, who doesn't like Al Pacino? Hoo Hah!!! I got to bed at about 04:00, and that wasn't such a good idea since I wanted to do stuff the next day. Well, saturday came aroundm (at least the day part of it), and surprisingly, I woke up at 10:00. I chilled at home, playin' my drums and watching some TV. Noon thirty came around, and then I remembered that the movie was due at noon...FU**!!! I shrugged it off like it was nothing, and then I went to take a short nap, since my blood sugar was high, and the best way to get it down is giving insulin. But when my blood sugar is high, I feel naxious, and it helps me to sleep. I woke up at about 14:00 feeling fine. I got out of my bed, and then like rapids in a river, my blood sugar shot down really quick. My vision went blurry for a little bit, but since I have a lot of experience with diabetes, I was able to control my actions and I drank half of a carton of OJ. That started working in like fifteen minutes. So it was 14:15 now, and I was suppose to give Johnny a call to see what was up today. Instead of calling him, I just went straight over, being a "knock-in." Most people don't like hte knock-in, but I like it a lot...maybe that's why I never get invited anywhere...hahah...j.k. When I got there, Johnny, Andrew, and David were all in Dave's room, watching "The Incredible Homer" episode of The Simpsons. Good episode...Stan Lee is in it!!!brb i gotta go pee...ok i'm back now. Where was I? Oh yeah...after the episode was finished, Johnny, Drew, and I went out to do a little bit of purchasing ("shopping" sounds too feminine). First we went to Academy to buy Drew some new kicks (that means shoes for all you um...non knowing people). He got some pretty cool shoes...FOR THIRTY BUCKS!!! After we were done there, we went to the mall to look around a bit, and for me to get some grub (food). We went to the West Oaks mall, since it was right there next to Academy. The first place we stopped in was Spencers. I wanted to buy another blacklight poster for my drumroom, and I did...click HERE to see the poster in which I bought. Click HERE to see the other blacklight poster that I already have. That room is gonna be kick ass once it's finished!!! Ok enough with that...since I hadn't eaten all day, I was starving at this moment. We went to the James Coney Island in the mall, and I got a number 5, texas style, all the way. That's what you have to get if you go there. I also bought some mini corn dogs for Drew, Johnny, and me ot snack on. Oh and you have to get teh Delaware Punch as your drink...that's GREAT. Hahaha. After a little break for eating, we walked around a little bit, and checked out stores like American Eagle, Kay-Bee Toys, Electronic Boutique, and finally Express, where I bought this kick ass shirt, that I really liked. Johnny bought some pants at Express and osme flip flops at American Eagle. We stopped by at Best Buy after the mall to just look around a bit...we stayed there like an hour to be honest. Just goes to show you that Best Buy is truly on my top five list for best stores. When we left Best Buy, we decided that we were gonna go check out that new 99 cents only store. PARKING LOT WAS PACKED!!! We had to park back in the boondocks, but that's alright since the parking lot isn't that big. That place isn't THAT special...I think a lot of people went because of the size, and the fact that everything is 99 cents. That night, we just sat around until about 22:30, and then we decided to watcha movie. Now who needs Blockbuster when you got Radkebuster? I pulled up my movies link, and we selected Who Framed Roger Rabbit?...a classic from the way back when...oh yeah, it was Judge Doom that framed him. After the movie, I went home, since it was like 02:00 anyway...oh yeah we didn't start the movie until about 23:30-23:45. Hahaha...oh well. Sunday came around, and I slept until about 11:00. I cleaned my rooms today...that's right...my ROOMS. I have my room and my drumroom to clean up. That took about all day, but I got to put up my mirror in the drumrom, which I have been wating to do for a while. Sunday night, I ate a barbeque rib dinner out on the backporch, with my neighbors from across the street. Good people thems are. That's pretty much my whole Sunday right there...wow...pretty uneventful, huh...wow. Monday was here, and I couldn't have been more umm...oh yeah...happier...no that's not it...um...mad? Nah...oh yes that's right...TIRED!!! I really didn't want to get up this moring to go to work, but the good thing was that I got to use my dad's truck to get there, since mine was in the shop, get the squeaking fixed, and a new battery. It's fixed now!!! ALRIGHT!!! Well, the reason why I was so tired was becasue our DSL started monday @ midnight!!! FINALLY!!! i no longer have to deal with fu**ing dial-up sh*t!!! I've waited a long time, but it's finally here...and I stayed up all night surfin' the net, and downloading South Park episodes. Hahaha. Oh well. I came home from work at about 21:30, and I tried to get the DSL working for my mom and sister's computers. Didn't work. I had to call up Chris Pratho, and he got my sister's to work, but he told me that I need to get something else for my mom's to work. That's ok...I'M not paying for it. So that was my whole day, and that's what my day is filled with jmust about every weekday. Pretty exciting huh? (If you can't hear the sarcasm in my voice then lemme tell you...I'M BEING SARCASTIC). Hahaha...it's ok. I'm making good money at doing an easy as hell job, so I don't complain. But for now, I must be off with myself, since it is 03:30 now, and I want to work from 10:00-18:00. Let's see if that will happen. Nighters!!! Oh one more thing...I PROMISE I will post a new caption contest tomorrow...I'm just way too tired right now, and plus I don't have a picture yet...Stay tuned!!!

This is Jo to the nizzle, a to the thizzle, a to the nizzle (Jonathan) here to tell you people, that I am going to post a new caption contest when I get home tonight, probably after I go and see The Hulk with Johnny, Andrew, and possibly David (maybe more people depending on whoever wants to come). This picture will be an easier one to make up a caption for, and HOPEFULLY, more people will enter this contest. As for the whole idea of doing two pictures a month, I decided that that would never work out, so I?ve come to a decision that I will only do one contest every two months, depending on how many people enter this next contest. In addition to a Current Music CD, I will be giving away an American Ribbon Pin to show my pride of the USA. Don?t get me wrong?I still have Filipino pride, but I am half white also, and I must have pride for the USA. Boy?these entries are getting earlier and earlier!!! IT?S ONLY 10:30 AM!!! I had to work early today, because we?re gonna go see The Hulk tonight. I hope it will be good, and if it?s not, then it won?t be. Yesterday after work, I went home, got online, started talking to people while watching Dumb and Dumber on the WB, but then I made a decision to lie down in my bed just to rest my eyes?it turned out that I slept an hour and a half, waking up at 23:15. I went to Blockbuster to return that movie Poor White Trash, and I rented The Recruit?I haven?t watched it yet, but I plan to do so tonight after The Hulk. When I got back from Blockbuster, I went to Johnny?s house, and started watching Face/Off with them. Kelvin Wilkes and Steven Hicks came over to hang out a bit, and we all finished the movie together. After the movie was done, we chilled for a little, talkin? about a bunch of stuff?mainly school though. At 01:30, we took a trip up to Denny?s because Kelvin and Steven were hungry, and Johnny and I were craving some milkshakes. I got the grasshopper shake, which is simply a mint chocolate chip shake. Johnny wolfed down the Oreo shake that he bought. With me being such a nice guy and all, plus Johnny not finding his wallet, I spotted Johnny with his milkshake. We left Denny?s at about 02:45, and then I went home to go to sleep?I had to get up early in order to see The Hulk?I?ve said The Hulk about five times now?crazy. Well, all you krazy kats are prolly gonna hear about the movie tomorrow when I update again, but right now, I must be off, concentrating on staring at the computer screen, doing NOTHING.

Just mail a check to: RadkeJournal 14506 Old Tybee Road Houston, Texas 77084 Re: Naked Jon Well, it looks like I had nothing to worry about with my new job. I called Tamur, and he told me that there are slow days, so I?ve just been getting those. It just means that the nurses are doing their job, and we?re in no dire need for beds. On Saturday, I went to the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert!!! BADASS. Snoop Dog was actually tolerable for me...I was surprised. The current thing that kept on coming back to his performance was the saying of the night...he said that everyday, when you wake up in the morning, say three things: "smoke weed...get drunk...and fucked." It was amusing. Rhcp (Red hot Chili Peppers) were badass. I got a sweet shirt, and met up with a few friends there. I must have the worst sense of direction ever, because on the way home from the Woodlands Pavilion, I went the wrong way twice. First of all, I took the Hardy Toll Road instead of Beltway 8, and ended up at I-59. I took that, and ended up at I-45 AGAIN (this was the road that I started on). I thought I knew this road, since it?s what you take to get to UH, and I knew that it had an I-10 exit somewhere. Instead of going towards I-10, I went the other way towards UH. I got to the campus, and then turned around at the Spur 5 exit. I thought I was fine now, but once I got to the I-10 exit, I took it east, and what I should have done was take it west. I drove in the wrong direction for about 15 minutes. When I noticed I went the wrong way, I turned around, and I was at ease now. I knew I was going the correct way on 10, so I wasn?t freaking out anymore. All I wanted to do when I got home was go up to my room and lay down, but my dad had to have me explain myself for coming home at 01:30 instead of 00:30, like I was suppose to. Eh...we exchanged words in yelling form, and it ended with both of us storming into our rooms, slamming our doors. We just both needed to cool off a bit. Things are cool between the two of us now. My dad and I are so much alike, but it?s because we?re alike that we can never solve any problems between us, civilized. We don?t usually argue, but when we do, we do it hard. We were like screaming at the top of our lungs...at 02:00 in the morning. It was insane. Oh well...I went upstairs, talked to some of my friends about it, and then went to bed after I was in a little better mood. On Sunday, I went to Christina?s graduation party for family and friends of the family. Johnny, my best friend of 12-13 years, came back into town on Saturday from Chicago, so I was hangin? out with him too. Since I?m pretty much Christina's brother, I was invited too. I had a good time, and got to meet the girlfriend of Jorge Valladares, Rachel. Well, I?ve met her before, but it was really late at night, and she just came over to watch the movie Signs with Jorge, Johnny, Ana, Christin, Christina, and me. I think she?s really cool, and they look like such a happy couple. I?m glad for them, and I wish them the best of luck. On Sunday night, we went to go see 2 Fast 2 Furious. This movie was ok, but nothing special. Fu**ing awesome cars, and GREAT car chase scenes. It had some corny parts in it too though, like when the two friends were talking about when they were younger, "playing football in the dirt," and they called each other "bro" every time they addressed one another. That got annoying. But overall, I give the movie a B+ for excellent chase scenes. Since I had work the next day, and had plans the next night, I wanted to work early. Therefore, I had to get home after the movie, which was at about 00:15. On Monday, I worked from 09:00-17:00, and after I got off of work, I went to Kristyn Fukawa?s house to give her and her friends a "gift." I?m not sure, but I think I met a girl that I had a crush on. Ya see...after I graduated, I was fliping though my yearbook, and saw this picture of an amazing looking girl, that was vice president of her class her freshman year. I THINK I met her, but I?m not really sure. I didn?t notice the resemblance until Wednesday morning when I was looking at my yearbook again. But I?ll get to that in a little bit. After I dropped the item at Kristyn?s house, I took half of that item, and I went to Steven Bui?s house to chill with a few of my younger friends. I think it?s cool to see the freshman when you were seniors grow up, and be able to chill with them. I met a few new people at Steven?s, and I got home at about 00:30. I had fun over there, and I think Johnny did too. When I came home, I chatted a little bit, and then fell asleep. On Tuesday, I worked at 12:00-20:00. After I got off work, I went to Hooters with Pratho and a girl he was with that I met on Monday night named Erica. She seems cool too, and I think we had an alright time eating there. I saw one of my bio-buddies there (in her work uniform...if you know what I mean), and we chatted a little bit. I got this nasty as hell New England Clam Chowder, and I wasn?t too happy with it. But I?m not the type to complain, so I just ate about half of it, and said I was done. I usually like Clam Chowder, but this one tasted like the soup part of it was cream of wheat or something. When we were done at Hooters, we chilled in the parking lot, in the bed of my truck for about 20 minutes, just talking and trying to find something to do. We couldn?t find anything to do, so we just went home, and I talked to people, and then went to sleep. On Wednesday, I planned to work from 10:00-18:00 again, but that didn't really work out since i woke up at noon. I got my yearbook out to see this girl that Christina told me that I've met but i don't remember her. I got a little too into the yearbook, looking at each page, and each class. I came across that picture of the girl that I thought was a major cutie, Erin Gardner. That's the girl that I THINK I met at Kristyn's house, but I'm not so sure. I looked at the picture in the yearbook, and then I thought about the girl who I met that I thought was attractive, and I remembered that her name was Erin!!! It just occured to me at that moment, and I might have met the girl that I had a crush on just from seeing her picture. Weird, huh. I'm kind of hoping it IS that girl, because I have an in to get to know her...she's Kristyn's friend. I may be just rambling on, but everyone keeps on telling me that there's someone out there for me, and since i just got over someone who I've thought about for 2-3 years, I want to meet new people, and move on. I worked from 13:00-21:00, and when I got home, I went to the Salinas house to say bye to Christina, since she is going to Acapulco for a week. But before I went to their house, I went to go get six Mountain Dew LiveWires for them to try and for me to have one. I might be the only one, but I think this orange drink is better than Sunkist. I burned two CDs as soon as I got there (Audioslave and At the Drive-In). We (Christina Salinas, Christin Moore, Steven Bui, Bryan Chin-Foon, Andrew Salinas, Johnny Salinas, Terry ???, and myself) watched Boondock Saints. That movie is pretty messed up?it?s about these guys who believe God told them to kill murderers and criminals (like people in mafias and stuff like that). Ron Jeremy, the famous porn star is in it, and so is the Green Goblin himself, William Defoe. He plays a homosexual detective that tries to solve who is committing all of the murders, and in the end, there is a surprise that changes some things up. There are some pretty graphic scenes in this movie also, like when the guy shoots this girl?s cat. Overall, I give the movie an A-...good story, but pretty messed up. The ending was sort of weak too. After the movie was finished, Johnny started showing me his new badass microphone that he bought, and this program called Cool Edit Pro. Steven, Bryan, Andrew, Terry, and Christina stayed in the game room, messin? around with AIM, and havin? good clean fun. I went home at 02:00 in the morning, and I crashed once I hit my bed. OH!!! I have a winner for the caption contest!!! This was a good experiment for me, and I?m gonna TRY to do it again, but if I have to ask people to enter, instead of them entering because they want to, I?m not gonna do it again. Click here to see the winning caption, the runners up, and the rest of the entries!!! Today, I woke up at 09:00, because I wanted to work from 10:00-18:00. I wanna get home early so that I can have the night to do something. That?s one thing that I love about this job...I can pick when I come in, and as long as I leave eight hours after that time, I?ll be fine!!! Well, that?s all the events that has happened in the past few days of my life, and I think you?ve done a week's worth of reading...hahaha. Ya know what? My life isn?t that boring?I love my life...as Erin (the girl I met at Kristyn?s) says?"LIFE IS GOOD!!!" ~End Entry~ P.S.-I forgot to mention that I have a guest book now, and I encourage all of you to sign it!!!

Hey everyone out there in RadkeFAN headquarters (everyone who looks at this journal)!!! How?s everyone doing today? I?m doin? fine, but I?m a little set off by this job. Ya see, my job is to go to each room, and looking for empty beds, right? Well, I didn?t find ONE room that was empty that the nurses didn?t enter in the computer. I just need to know if the guy who I?m working for ever had a day like that. I would ask my friend, Johnny, since he was the first person to have this job and all, but he never responded to me online last night. I hope that this occurs sometimes, and I hope that I AM doing my job correctly. I think I?ll be ok though. You can all hope the best for me. Well, I?m sitting at my semi-cubicle right now, listening to the Daredevil soundtrack. I might be the only one, but this might happen to other people?you know when you hear a song on the radio that you really like, and then you go and download, but then to your surprise, you already have that song on one of your CDs? Well that has happened to me so many times. Like the song "Caught in the Rain" by Revis. I waited like 30 minutes for it to download last night, and then when I listened to the Daredevil soundtrack, there it was, number 13. I was like shit! That has happened to me with the Unwritten Law CD, Hoobastank, Jimmy Eat World, and Coldplay. Oh well?I guess the song doesn?t really stand out until it is played on the radio. That?s good stuff though?gives me something to talk about. Hahaha. Last night when I got home, I went directly to my drums and played them for about an hour, recording myself playing along with my Chevelle CD to see how much I go along with it. I almost got everything perfect!!! That is, on the songs that we play ("Send the Pain Below" and "Closure"). After recording those, I played my solo a few times, trying different beats, and different styles. Since I recently bought a black light for that room, I took advantage of it last night. A while back, I bought some glow-in-the-dark tape, and taped up two of my drumsticks. Well, under a black light, they glow so much, so I turned off the light, turned on the black light, and started jammin? with glowing sticks. It looked BADASS. It would be great for a little show for people. I stopped playing at about 22:30, and then I got online to chat with some friends. I popped Face/Off in my DVD player and started watching. After my dad yells at me for waking him up with the bass, I remembered to put on my headphones. Kristyn Fukawa called me up at about 01:30 to see how my day was, and to ask me some questions about being a pediatric NP (Nurse Practitioner). I didn?t have any answers for her just then, but I told her that I would find out some information today while I?m at work?shit that reminds me. Hahaha. I?ll do it later. Man tomorrow is Red Hot Chili Peppers?HELL YEAH!!! I?m excited! On Sunday, I declared it hang out day with my best bud of 12 years, Johnny Salinas. He?s coming home on Saturday, but I?ll be at the concert. This weekend is gonna be fun you girls and guys!!! Well, that?s all I have to say for now, so the next time you hear the name "Jonathan," think "Radke." Good day!!!
