Tuesday, August 5rd, 2003 20:20 - Like the news program, 20/20!!! Well then!!! Here we are once again, you sitting there, reading RadkeJournal, and here I am...a place where you do not know, probably doing something that you don't know, saying something funny and/or SEXY. Nah...scratch that...I'm saying something FUNNY and opening a pickle jar very sexily...no scratch THAT...I'm saying something pickle, and funnily sexing me up...no wait..lemme try that again...I am uping the france of king, balancing funnies on my sexy with pickles jumping around, opening a bunch of "me"s. THAT'S IT!!! That's what I'm doing RIHT NOW as you read this!!! OKAY!! Enough with all of this nonsensing nonsense words!!! I am the one and only half-filipino diabetic with no spleen, hypothyroidism, asthma, and Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Purpura in this state!!! I'm guessing that is. I mean, I don't know anbyone else with all of these gifts. Well, first off, I have to give a special space to two special people who talked to me on Friday night and I think are two of the coolest girls on this planet!!! This is Faith McCoy's personal spot that will live on and on until the end of time on this website...you're the shit Faith!!! That is, that you're really really radical and I think you are really very neat too. I don't mean that you smell like shit, or that your shit is the worst smelling shit that i have ever smelled. Ya know what I mean...it could also mean that you're a Super Hip Illinoisian (???) Turberlililer!!! (Turberlililer: Super cool person). I want to meet you so bad, because I know we'll be so tight together!!! I mean "tight" as in we'll be really cool around eachother, well not cool, but comfortable...yeah that's it...REAL comfortable. Oh yeeeeeeeah....I know even though we live in opposite ends of the country(N & S), we'll stay friends forever and ever and ever and ever and ever, et cetera!!! Unless you like change your screen name and never tell me and then I'll be like, "what ever happened to Faith? She fell off the face of the Earth!!! I'm so utterly sad that i never got to say bye!!! Why am I always tortured like this!!! Come back to me Faith, COME BACK TO ME!!!!!" But since you'll always make sure I have your screen name (RIGHT?!?!), I know that we'll stay friends until the end of time! Rachel Newburry...what could I say about Rachel Newburry? Hmmm....I KNOW!!! Thanks a bunches for lemme me talk to ya on the night in question!!! I know that we've only REALLY known eachother since like the beginning of summer, but you're cool as heck, girl...I am extrodinarily glad that we have met. Even though you were a bobcat in highschool, you're still on my top ten list of awesome girls. I apologize for not getting you a job at the hospital right away, but once something opens up, I'll let you know ASAP. PPOMISE. Wouldn't that be awesome though? I would finally have a friend that I could eat with!!! Ya see, right now, the PCAs and CNAs that I know, mostly eat at a different times as me, and I usually just eat in the CCU comference room, with the TV. If you work there, I can get you codes to get into anywhere you want, and we can eat together in the conference room!!! YEAH!!! Like I said...I'm a good person to know in the hospital (not to too my own horn, but 'TOOT'). I am the hospital's child, and all of the nurses, administrators, et cetera, know me,and think i am such an outstanding little boy. Man if they only knew. But Rachel, what I'm trying to get across, is that you are fu*king awesome in my book, and my heart would be broken if we were to ever lose our friendship. Ok...on with the update!!! Let's see the last time I updated, it was Sunday, and I was at home? This doesn't seem right...I never update at home! I always update at work...like today!!! Well, I guess I didn't work on Sunday, so I guess I DID update at home. Weirdy Pajity. Well, what did I do on Sunday night? Lemme think..AH YES!!! Well, on Sunday Afternoon, I went to the mall to buy some new cargo pants, since my old ones are sort of like 4 sizes too big (steroid pants). I went today, maily because it was still no tax on school items, and I had my mom's card so that was a plus. I bought a pair of cargo khakis at American Eagle, and another pair at Old Navy. I also some pajama bottoms at old navy...for FOUR BUCKS!!! They're red, white, and blue plaid ones. REAL PATRIOTIC!!! I also bought a 100 pack of CD-Rs for 20 bucks. What a great deal!!! Ha cha cha!!! When I was done shopping, I went over to Johnny's to give him my old, way too big khakis, and say what's up to Jorge. That night, we watched The Waterboy...one of Adam Sandler's greatest. I give it a 10...with extra queso for the nachos. After the movie was finished, I took the liberty of going home and watching the behind the scenes of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. This special feature on the DVD is great if you're a big fan of Willy Wonka. Well, watching these behind the scenes featurette, prompted my brain in to seeing the actual movie, but I knew it was way too late to start watching it, so I decided to bring it over to the Salinas household, since Christina is an avid WW fan also. Well, Monday was here...UNGH. I got up at like 11:35, and sat COMPLETELY still for like 15 minutes, and then realized that I had to get ready for work, so I threw off my clothes, jumped into the shower (the only kind of showers I take now are cold showers...THEY JUST FEEL SO GOOD!!!), and then left for work with no lunch in my hand. I got to work at about 12:43, and then I started my round. Work went well, and the drive home went ever weller. When I got home, I ran to get Willy Wonka, and then it was off to the Salinas house once again. I had some excellent like sort of italian dish...i think...well, it's this thing, where it's speghetti, topped off with the top of a pizza (ya know, like cheese and pepperoni). Andrew made it...IT WAS EXCELLENT!!! THIS KID CAN COOK YOU GUYS!!! Well after I ate, we watched WW, and enjoyed it. Of course, this movie is a timeless treasury of our culture, and I pretty much HAVE to give it 5 out of 5 stars. I don't give it such a good score just because I have to, but I give it a great score because it's a GREAT movie. After the movie, I went to Kroger (our foor store) to get some cheese (ya see, in the behind the scenes featurette, it shows a part where Willa Wonka drinks tea out of the flower/cup thing, and then takes a bite out of the flower/cup. Well, Gene Wilder (the guy who played Willy Wonka) said that the flower/cup was made out of wax, and once the director said "cut!" he had to spit out the piece of wax that he put in his mouth). Now back to why we started craving cheese...when we saw that, I turned to Johnny, and I said, "man...those little circle cheese that are wrapped in wax sound good right about now. Well, I was craving them so much, that i had to get some when I left for my house. When I was done at Kroger, I retired to my home, where I watched The Power Puff Girls Movie, and LOVED it. This movie gets 1.999 thumbs up, and the 0.001 is because it's just not long enough. The Power Puff Girls kick ass people...hands down...BUBBLE is the best out of ALL OF THEM. It's true!!! Don't try to argue your way out of this one...you cant' win!!! I WIN!!!!! Ok then. Well, this mrning I woke up at like 11:30, watched a cartoon on my computer, and then got ready and left for work. There!!! The whole summation of my day in one sentence!!! There ya go!!! See you all later!!! Well, I won't actually SEE you, but you'll hopefully read this again, and you will see me again at the top of this page. Well that won't exactely be seing me sice I'm like 15 years older now, but hey..it's still me. Bye!!! Website: Willy Wonka - Enter the Wonderful World of Wonka!!! Shot out: Katey Bornhurst - Ah!!! What do I say to such a cool girl? I know we weren't exactely friends in high school but I am especially glad that we've become friends in college. You're one of the girls who i can talk to when I have problems. Thank you Katey!!! I know we'll stay friends as long as we keep in touch. i promise you, that I WILL visit your new house in Austin, and you can introduce me to all of you beautiful friends I've heard so much about. current mood: Waiting to get out of here...AH!!! 15 more minutes!!! current music: Julie Dawn Cole - I Want it Now!

Hey everyone!!! It seems like it's been so long, yet, so short of a time since you've read me up and down!!! But in reality, it's only been three days!!! It's amazing how slow time can go when your mind is in a different place!!! No point intended. Well on Friday night, I had a few friends over to hang out and watch a few movies. We actually didn't sleep all night, and actually, I stayed awake for 37 hours straight until midnight last night!!! On Saturday, I cleaned up my house for the return of my parents a little bit, and then I went over to Johnny's to hang out. Jorge Valladares stopped by to work on his computer a little, since the whole thing kinda crashed on him. I received a call from Rachel Newburry, and she invited Johnny and I to go to a place called the Red Onion Bar or something like that. So it was Ana (Valladares), Rachel (Newburry), Jorge (Valladares), Johnny (Salinas), Jonathan (Radke(Me)), and Felipe (Lozano (HIS birthday dinner!!!)) Well, after we were done eating (thanks Jorge for getting the check), we went to go see American Wedding (thanks Johnny for buyin' the tickets!) You might think I'm a wuss, and even if you do, I don't give a rat's ass, but this movie actually touched my heart at the end, when they finally got married. My eyes were a little teary...I mean, these characters have been a big part of my generation's lives, and it feels to me like they're a part of our lives. I just said that twice...that's redundant. That's redundant! Oh well!!! Well, after the movie, I went home and STRAIGHT to bed!!! No talkin' online or ANYTHING!!! Put up an away message and it was off to "zzz-land" for me! Since nothing else has happened since last night, I will say good day!!! Oh yeah...I couldn?t really think of a entry title, so I just put a random comment. Bye bye!!!

Comments Friday, August 1st, 2003 14:39 - ASS RASH CREAM!!! Hey everyone!!! How's everyone doin'? What's everyone doin'? Why is everyone doin' what they're doin'? When is everyone doin' what they're doin'? Who is everyone doin' what they're doin' with? Where is the place where everyone is doin' what they're doin'? Which thing is everyone doin' in the place with the people in Whooville? Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Too many question!!! Ya know what people?!?! I'VE BEEN 20 YEARS OLD FOR EXACTELY ONE MONTH NOW!!! Well then!!! On Wednesday night, I made a cake for the lovely Christina Salinas, and rented Final Destination 2. I really didn't feel like having a drink that night, so we kept it easy. Johnny came over, and then Jorge came over, and then finally Christina arrived at my house. YAY! I think she liked the cake, but I had to milk, which was an utter disappointment (it was a chocolate cake)...made especially for her! Some people might think that I do too much stuff for people, but I see it as an investment in order to see a smile on their faces. To me, a smile is worth more than all the money in the world, and with a smile, you can make so many people happy. It's truly a fact, that a smile is contagious. It feels so good to smile also...it's one of my favorite things to do!!! I don't frown that much, but when I do, I don't like it. In my opinion, everyone should always have a smile on their face and a song in their heart...24/7!!! Smile more people!!! And make an impact on someone else's day!!! ANYWAY...after Christina, Johnny, and Jorge left, I took a trip to Kristyn Fukawa's friend's house to chill out with them. I met some new people at this girl's house...Laura (her house...I think I knew her brother, David Wechsler), Evie (I dunno if that's how you spell that...I think she's Laura's best friend or something), Katie (VERY cute...came from Austin and drives a new Volkswagon beetle), and this guy named Rich (goes to Cy-Falls...that's all I know). They're good kids, but I just felt old, because they were all talking about when they turn 18, while I'm 20. But it's ok...we're all people, and plus...it's only 2-3 years apart. Kristyn's cousin from England was there, and so was Erin, but I dunno if she remembers I was there. This guy Leroy was there also, along with Michael Arnold (me cringing). I stayed there a few hours, and then it back at home for me! When I got home, I crashed on my bed. On Thursday, I woke up at about 11:30, got ready for work, and then left. Work was good, but the whole hospital was full. It kinda makes me mad when my boss calls me and tells me that we need beds as if I can create a whole new room and a make whole new bed. If we don't have beds, then we don't have beds. Before I came home, I had to go to Kroger to buy some bread, milk, juice, and other stuff. I also went to rent Final Destination ONE also, because I heard that the second one has a lot of references to the first one. I give part one five stars, because it has a lot of surprises, and it really entertained me when I first saw it. At about 22:00, Christina came over with Tim Hall, and we chilled out for a little bit. Colin McCulley and Steven Bui came over shortly after, and then we started the movie at about 23:00. We took a little break about 20 minutes after the movie started, for chili cheese hot dogs. That?s good stuff. Colin, Tim, and Steven all left at 00:00, but that didn't keep Christina and I from watching. We kept on watching, and in like a half an hour, David came over. Johnny was right after that, and then Pratho. Good peoples. Christina has a lot of mosquito bites on her feet, and she asked me to get the anti-itch cream that Kristyn got her on Tuesday night, that was left up in my room. I WAS WONDERING WHERE THAT CORTIZONE 10 CREAM CAME FROM!!! I thought it was someone's who had a rash on his ass or something, but it turns out that Christina was using it on her foot mosquito bites. I never knew that you could use it for itching, and I think the only reason why I ever needed it was when I had an allergic reaction to something and then I would get a rash on my thigh or leg or arm or neck or stomach or "dark places." The three of them left at about 03:00, and then I went to return FD2, since I knew I didn't wanna get up before noon that morning. FD2 gets a 10, because it compliments the first one very well, and plus...the main girl is a MAJOR hottie. I think I'm gonna have to buy those movies. When I got back home, I started to watch Casper, and of course, this movie gets 5 "screams" HAR HAR HAR HAR!!! No, but I seriously really like this movie. It was the first movie where I found Christina Ricci really cute, since in the Addams Family, nobody really thought of Wednesday Addams, cute. I got into the mood of watching this, because when Christina told Tim, Colin, and Steven that Devon Sawa was in Final Destination, we both said "Casper!" almost at the exact same time. We must have a whole book by now, Christina!!! Being on the same page and all so many times. I fell asleep about 3/4ths of the way into the movie, and I woke up in the very end, when Stretch, Fatso, and Stinkie were singing that song. Man...I remember when I saw this movie in the theatres...I saw it with Matt Muskiet, and we both snuc in some dill pickles, because we didn?t wanna pay $1.50 for one. Hahaha. I woke up this morning at about 10:30, and watched a few Ren & Stimpy episodes that finished downloading. I got ready for work, and here I am?updating my loyal fans of the RadkeUNIVERSE. Well, I hope that you all enjoyed our little chat, and I'll say good bye the next time I say "space." Whoop...there it goes!!! Good bye!!! Oh!!! I just thought of a good idea!!!

I was trying my hardest to keep my laughter in, since I was at work when I first looked at it, but I ended up cracking up and then everyone started staring at me. Shot out: Johnny Salinas - GOOD JOB BRO!!! You gotta job now!!! Time to pay me back for all those chili cheese rolls. Let's see...that's $1.20 times about 200, and after about 3-4 years of interest compounded quarterly, that'll be about............AH HELL, screw it...just gimme $500 and we'll call it even. current mood: Stomachy Hungrily Growlily current music: New Found Glory - Sonny Word/Phrase of the Day: "Turn the DVD on the other side!!!" ~ Christina Salinas Comments Wednesday, July 30th, 2003 15:57 - Stuffed Crust!!! Hey everybody!!! My name is Jonathan R. Radke, but I'm sure that you all already knew that, since you're at my very own personal online journal type thing. In case you didn't know that this was me, then now you know, so now you know that Jonathan R. Radke is the one that is typing these letters and these words. Ha HA! Hmmm...on Monday night, lemme think of what I did...hmmmmm...sh*t...I REALLY can't think right now. Damn this is making me a little angry. OH!!! OK...now I remember. I promised Christina Salinas that I would make her a pizza when I got home, because she was hungry. So on my way home from work, I stopped by at Kroger to get a Digorno stuffed crust pepperoni pizza, but to my surprise, they didn't have any!!! I had to take a trip to the Wal-Mart Supercenter to get one. Once I got home, I cooked the pizza and then gave Sprint (that's what I call Christina) a call to tell her that it was done. I must say...it was a good pizza. We were chillin' in my kitchen a little bit and then Charles Ross came by. Johnny soon came after Charles too. So it was Christina, Johnny, Charles, and myself just hangin' out at my house. We decided to watch the movie Wild Things so we did. I give this movie 9 index fingers up, because it has a lot of twists and turns and plus...it has a great "erotic" scene between Neve Campbell and Denise Richards. Meow!!! It's also a good movie though. After the movie, I said farewell to my buddies, and then it was up to my room where I fell asleep. TUESDAY!!! Well, on Tuesday, I woke up extra early, because I had to take care of some stuff, and plus...some guys came over to fix our DSL at about 09:00. I went to our insurance company so they could copy my grades from the past semester. 3.75 GPA baby...OH YEAH!!! I went to work at about 11:00, and came home at 19:00. When I got home, I invited a few friends to hang out, and soon enough, I was having a great time with a margaritas, pina coladas, strawberry daiquiris, fuzzy navels, or tequila shots in my hands. I ended up passing out on my bed at first, but I became upset about something, so I went downstairs to think about some stuff. The next thing I know, I was being woken up on the floor of my drumroom. I don't know how I got there, but I ended up there somehow. I went back to my bed, talked to some friends for another hour or so, and then I retired to my parents bed where I got a good night sleep. This morning, I woke up at 11:45 due to a call from Rachel Newburry, and then I started getting ready for work as Johnny was playing piano, trying to figure out the song "Bohemian Rhapsody." I left for work, and here I am now, updating. Well, that's all the exciting things that has happened to me in the past few days!!! Hope you enjoyed it!!! Website: Bumper Nuts - NEW TREND!!!

How yas doin'?!?!? I'm sittin' here at work, doin' the job of two people. The bed finder and the Nursing Administration Secretary. It's ok though...I don't mind doin' both jobs. I would either be surfin' the net or talkin' to friends online anyway if Iwas only doing the bed finder thing. So this keeps me busy at least. Well on Friday night, I went over to Johnny's and met up with Brandon Hereford there. Christina had a few friends over named Charles and Rick, and we all decided to go shoot some pool. We went to the new pool hall on Jones Road, close to 1960. I actually played pretty good that night!!! Kelvin Wilkes, Sam Medley, and Katey Bornhurst met us up there, but Sam and Katey left early. 1We were done at about 02:00, but only because that's what time the pool hall closed. We still didn't want to go home, so we took a trip to IHOP on 290 and 1960. I ordered the bagel and cream cheese, and I must say...it was IHOPerific. We got done at about 04:00, and then we went back home. We chilled out in Johnny's driveway for a little bit, and then I ended up at home at about 04:30. Thank God I got home at that time, because my parents woke up at 05:00 in order to get to the airport. OH YEAH!!! On Saturday, my parents left for Delaware at 07:00 in the morning so they had to be there at about 06:00. I wanna thank my sister for driving them to the airport, because I would have not been in any mood to drive them myself after having about 30 minutes of sleep. That would have been no good. On saturday night, me and a few friends just hung out at my house, and I showed off my bad ass drumroom to everyone. We also watched Super Troopers, and I must say that that movie is one of the funniest movies that I've seen. Five stars...definently. After everyone left, I started watching Yellow Submarine, but I fell asleep about 20 minutes after it was started, when the general went to get The Beatles. But you wouldn't have a clue what the means if you haven't seen it. Sunday was here, and this was my official cleaning day of the Radke household. I vacummed the entire house, windexed all the windows, and folded all of the laundry. So if you see my house in the next week, and realize that it's clean, that's ALL ME. On Sunday night, my sister, Grant (sister's boyfriend), Johnny, and I, all watched the movie Saving Silverman. I thought this movie was really funny, and it gets two thumbs up. After that movie was over, Christina and Bryan Chin-Foon came over, and we watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This is one insane movie!!! But it's a real good one too. Of course it gets a 10.5637 out of 10.5638. The 0.0001 point is because it's just plain sick in some parts, but still...it's a good movie. My favorite musical by far. Johnny and Christina left at about 01:30, and then I stayed up watching TV somemore. I watched the end of the movie Loser and then I watched Poison Ivy...the ONLY movie where Drew Barrymore appears attractive to me. I fell asleep at about 03:30, and then I got a good seven and a half hours of sleep. This morning I woke up at about 11:15 with a spliting headache, and I went downstairs to get a few advils. I hopped into the shower after that, and then got ready for work. So here I am, in the nursing office, printing out the group analysis reports, and waiting until 16:30 so that I can do my second round as a bed finder.

It has been a long while since I've updated here in my own home other than at work!!! It's a lot comfortable here, since I don't have to have any clothes on. I'm wearing my boxers and a shirt though...I wouldn't sit here naked (my chair's seat is made out of leather). Don't want my ass to get all sweaty!!! Now THAT'S a nice thought. I hope it stays with you from now on, and every time you think of me. WELL now!!! A not so exciting few days this has been. Pretty much all I've been doing is going to work, getting off work, and then watching South Park, Family Guy, or The Simpsons. I don't need to go into in-depth details about my days this time. NOTHING has happened. Since I've been partying a little more than I'm use to, I'm just kinda takin' it easy this week. Well, Tuesday was my mommy's birthday, and I'm sad to say, that I didn't get her anything. I feel horrible about that. I'm gonna get her a late gift though, and she'll love it. I just know it. Man this journal entry kinda sucked, huh. Oh I got the new 311 CD, and it's a "goodie." Maybe I need to start doing stuff again for the fans. Thank you Faith, Christina, Melissa, and Yanin. The only four readers of RadkeJournal. Oh...you too Matt, if you still read this. Matt Muskiet that is. Best friend that fights for our great country in the Marines. We're all very proud of you up there, and we all miss you terribly. Since this caption contest isn't doing well at all, and I even sent out an e-mail to all my people, I don't think I'll be doing this anymore. It just isn?t catching on. It's a shame though...I have a lot of funny pictures of myself. Maybe I'll just post them and you people can look at them. I really wanted this to work, but you can't get everything, right? Well, I'm gonna get outta here now, and I'll let you girls and guys go too. OH...I ended up buying the Incubus poster and the dragon/tiger poster for my drumroom. It's gonna look GREAT once I get the other poster and another blacklight. We'll just have to wait and see!!! Nighters everyone!!! Oh...my current number one song is "Boys of Summer" by The Ataris.

Comments Monday, July 21st, 2003 15:29 - Opened my eyes Hey all you fans out there of the ever so not successful epic known as the Lord of the Radkes. Otherwise known as RadkeJournal. Well this weekend was actually eventful and I had a good time!!! Let's see?on Friday night, Christina, Johnny, David, Katey Bornhurst, Brian Payne, and myself went to play at the pool hall on 290. I successfully beat Christina at pool, but I lost to David and Johnny. The game against David was a good game, and it ended with both of us going for the eight ball. Johnny's game was stupid because I sinked the eight ball too early. It's ok though...all fun and games. Plus...we're all family. After the pool hall, we went back to Katey's and chilled there. We watched True Lies and then Billy Madison, played a couple games of fooz-ball, and then Christina, Johnny, Brian, and I crashed there for the night. The most hysterical part of the night though was when Johnny came down wearing some short SHORT red biker shorts, since he wanted to swim, and forgot his swimsuit. It was hilarious...it's like this big burly guy, wearing these skimpy red biker shorts. Now that's great entertainment. On Saturday, I woke up at around 13:45, and thanked Katey for lettin' us chill at her house for the night. I drove home, and got ready to go to Spirit fest at Astroworld with three of the Salinas kids (Christina, Johnny, and Andrew). We left for Astroworld at about 16:15, and got there at like 17:00. Pretty much, the only reason we went was to see the band, Jars of Clay. Oh man...I spent 20 bucks there, and with that added to the amount of the ticket, I spent 40 bucks in the whole day. I bought two personal pizzas and a souvenir cup for the whole group so that way, we could all share. Well, the concert was here, and I must say, I enjoyed all of it. When we got home, we didn't really hang out, since we had a late night the previous night. I went home, and the Salinas kids went home. I actually went to Kroger to buy stuff to make chili-cheese hot dogs before I went home. When I got home, my neighbors across the street were having like a farewell party for the neighbors to the right of us, and I went to check it out. Of course, my dad was GONE...what do you expect - HE'S A RADKE!!! Hahaha. Probably the only one that doesn't party hardy is my mom, and that's only because after one glass of wine, she's thrown. After we got back home, I hung out with my dad in the backyard, talking about random stuff. Mostly how to make liquor and what's in the different kinds. It's funny...my dad talks A LOT when he's a little drunk...just like his son. Hahaha. Sunday came around, and I had to fill the day with stuff to do by myself, since Johnny was occupied the whole day, and Pratho was still in San Antonio. I actually got stuff done though. I woke up at 13:00, and then I cleaned my room. Oh...as I was cleaning my room, I found the receipt for the CD player I bought at Best Buy which didn't work, so I was able to exchange it for one that DOES work. I went and did that, and then I went to Ikea to buy a shelf for my center speaker of my stereo system in my room. Ya see, it WAS beneath my legs in my computer desk, so every time I had my keyboard drawer pulled out, the sounds was all muffled. After I bought the cheapest shelf there (small and plastic), I went to Lowe's to buy some anchors for screws so that they won't come out due to the weight of the speaker. I got home, and immediately, I put up the shelf in my room, and then set up the CD player in the drumroom. After setting everything up, I went to Kroger to buy lunchmeat and a few other things for the house. You gotta go with the Genoa Salami...it has less fat than hard salami, it tastes good, and plus...it is SO LIGHT. I can make like 10 sandwiches with half a pound. It's GREAT. When I got back home, I mowed the backyard, and then ate dinner with my mom and dad. Fried rice with gizzards = very delectable meal. After eating, I went upstairs to jam on the drums for an hour or so. I watched a few South Park episodes, and then after talking to a few friends, I went to sleep watching this visualization called Milk Drop for Winamp 2. If you guys want to see something real cool, download this plug-in. It's GREAT. This morning was good...I forgot to reset my alarm clock, so it was still programmed for 08:30 in the morning. If you remember, I got up early on Friday, because I had some stuff to take care of. I woke up, and then I took a piss (TMI), and then I passed out back in my bed. I woke back up at 11:15, and then started getting ready for work. I went downstairs had a bagel, and then made my dinner. I left for work at about 12:20, and I was on the road. Right now, I'm gonna wait another 23 minutes and 25 seconds before I do my next round. So I bid you all farewell.

I'm not sure what that's suppose to mean. Hey everyone out there in RadkeWORLD!!! Sorry I haven't been updating this daily, but my life has been somewhat uneventful this week. Where did I leave off...WHERE-DID-I-LEAVE-OFF? Ah yes...TUESDAY. Well, on Monday night, I didn't do much...I came home and talked to a few people and then went to bed after watching some South Park. That has become a daily thing for me. Or should I say nightly thing? Eh...who cares. On Monday night, after work was done at 21:00, I met up with Jorge and Rachel at Chilis. We were either gonna go bowling or watch a movie. Rachel didn't really feel like bowling, so we went to Blockbuster to rent a movie. We ended up getting Phone Booth. This is a good movie people. I think I give it an A-, because in my opinion, Colin Farrell over-acted his role just a little. After the movie, I went home to my precious bed, and then watched some South Park again. If you're wondering if I watch the same damn episode every night, well the answer is NO. I have every episode on disk or on my computer, so I just watch the ones that I feel like watching. From Cherokee Tampons to Fingerbang. ANY EPISODE I WANT...HAHAHAHAHA!!! Tuesday was a good day, and I worked from 12:00-20:00, since I had a doctor's appointment early in the morning. Everything is fine if you're wondering. It always touches my heart to see when people are concerned about my health. I want to thank everybody who has ever prayed for me, everyone who has ever given blood for me, and everyone who has ever wished I was feeling better. My doctor said that he thinks I'm in total remission, and he thinks that this TTP sh*t will never come up again. When I got out of work, I went to hang out with Johnny a little bit. We watched Total Recall after he went to pick up his brother at 23:00. That is a WEIRD and GRAPHIC movie people. I liked it though. I give it 3.5 stars, because it had a little too many corny lines that came out of Arnold's mouth. After the movie, I went home, watched South Park, and then went to sleep. On Wednesday, I started the day off kinda shaky. Ya see, I woke up at 06:45 to check my blood sugar, and it was 40. Since it was low, I had a few big glasses of juice. Since I didn't want a rebound from all of the sugar, I gave myself a few units of insulin. Now being low, I wasn't really THAT coherent, and I ended up giving myself more than what was needed. That resulted in my waking up at 17:00 with a blood sugar of 30. I'm gonna have to thank my dad for getting me up, because if he wasn't there, I would have lied there all day. So, I got myself straightened out, and then I left for work. I got here at 18:00, and I stayed until 00:00. I drove home, and then it was South Park until I pass out. Thursday came here, and I couldn't have been happier that this week is going by so fast. I woke up at 08:00 on this day, because I needed to get a haircut, and take care of some other stuff that I'll talk about in like 5 seconds. That is, 5 seconds after you read this part, you'll be reading about the other stuff. Well maybe 10 seconds now. Anyway, I went to get a haircut, so I took my debit card out of my safe place (I put it in there so I would stop using it on frivolous things), and I went to Great Clips when they opened. I was pleasantly surprised, because they told me that this haircut was a free one!!! Ya see, every ninth haircut that you get there, it's free. So I guess it was the 9th time I was there. That started my day off excellently!!! OK...now for that other stuff part. All it is, is that I had to clean up my drumroom, but something pissed me off immensely. Remember that CD player that I bought ESPECIALLY for my drumroom? Well it turns out that the CD player part doesn't work, and I lost the receipt, so I can't return it. Dammit that makes me mad just typing about it right now. AHHHH!!!!! Ok...I'm fine now. Well, I left for work at 11:15, because I wanted to work 12:00-20:00 today, since Katey Bornhurst was having a little hang out night at her house, and I REALLY wanted to swim. Well, I got off at 20:15, and I made it home in fifteen minutes...a new record!!! When I got home, I chilled with my sister a little bit, and then at around 22:00, I started to go to Katey's. As I was passing by Blockbuster, Johnny called me and he asked me, "do you wanna see Drumline?" I said that I was RIGHT there, so he told me to come on in and join him, Katey, and Christina. We ended up getting A Guy Thing since Johnny told us that we would like it and that it was the BEST movie EVER. Hahaha. That one's for you, Johnny. I give this movie a 'D', mainly because it was a stupid plot, and stupid script. I didn't give it an 'F', because it made me laugh a few times, and plus...Julia Stiles is smokin' hot in it. We went to Katey's house and met up with Sam there. Medley that is...Sam Medley. After the movie, we took a dip in her pool. She cleaned it especially for us!!! Man that was fun...I don't really get to swim that often, but when I do, I love it. I think I'm gonna get a pool for my house once I'm secure enough in my life to buy one. That'll be a long time in the future. We got done swimming at about 02:15, and at that time, it was time to go home. Once I got home, I watched a few episodes of South Park (Bebe's Big Boobs Destroy Society) and then I went to sleep. I woke up this morning at about 11:15 and then I started to get ready at 11:45 in order to work from 13:00-21:00. So far it's a good day, and all those Joint Commission people are gone. Our hospital got a 95!!! That's good!!! It's all because of me. Hahaha. Yeah right. I didn't even see the people that walked around, grading us. Well, it has been a long time now since I started writing this update, so I'll let you girls and guys rest your eyes until next time...where you will join me in a fantastic trip into my brain!!! Bye yous guys!!! OH YEAH!!! I just bought two new CDs!!! Click here to see which ones!!! Oh yeah...they're the ones at the bottom of the list. Website: Garbage pail Kids!!! - You remember these things?!?!? OH MAN!!! I took a trip down memory lane looking at all of this stuff!!! Shot out: Katey Bornhurst - Thanks for letting us hang out at your place and use your pool!! current mood: GREAT!!! current music: The Ataris - The Boys of the Summer Comments Monday, July 14th, 2003 16:18 - Very "busy" week!!! WOW!!! This has been one exciting week for yours truly...that is, Jonathan Robert Radke. I haven't really been updating daily, because either I would forget about it at work, and then when I get home my internet explorer is acting poopooie. SO...where was I? Oh yes...on Wednesday night, Rachel Newburry, Jorge Valladares, Johnny Salinas, and I all hung out in an old warehouse place, because we just wanted a place where we could chill and not be bothered by anyone. That was real fun, and on the way home, I tried the new Bistro Jack from Jack in the Box...a half-pound burger with everything on it. It's good!!! When I got home, I was automatically drawn to my bed, and went to sleep. Thursday came around, and it was definite...it was Thursday. I went to work at 13:00, and when I got out, one of my friends, Katey Bornhurst was little get together at her place, so Johnny, Pratho, Christina, and I all went to check it out. We met up with Sam Medley, Kelvin Wilkes, and Johnny's brother, David, later too. We played a good game of Mad Gab and then Catch Phrase. Both Pratho and I crashed at her house because we were both exhausted from work, and we didn't feel like driving home. On Friday, Pratho took me home in the morning, and I got a few more house of sleep before I had to go back in at 13:00. After I was done at work, I went to check out Melissa Johnson's birthday party!!! Happy Birthday Mel!!! Ding dong!!! I had a good time, and I got to see some people that I haven't seen in a while from high school. I left that party at about 20:30-23:00, and when I got home, I decided to watch some more South Park episodes...I can't really remember which episodes I watched, but I remember I watched them. Saturday was here, and I woke up late...(like around 13:30). I LOVE the weekends...sleep in, and I don't have to deal with work, so it's ME time that I get to chill with my friends, or just rest all day. I decided to make a new movie type thing since I had nothing better to do. Ya see, I have this stuffed dog that I named Humpal Ottoligs (say it fast to get the joke), and when I first got the dog, it was just an ordinary dog that I slept with every night. As I was watching the movie Donnie Darko for the first time, I recognized a stuffed dog that was quite similar to Humpal. After close investigation, I realized that that WAS the same dog as Humpal. So anyway, I'm making sort of a "Diary of Humpal Ottoligs," a spoof off the popular MTV show. It'll be great once it's done. I taped some with Andrew Salinas, but most of it I taped at home alone. It was great!!! And WILL be great!!! I can't wait until I'm finished. It just so happens, that that very same night, we watched Donnie Darko at the Salinas house. After the movie, I went to Rachel Newburry's house because she was havin' a few friends over. We had some champagne, and then played some card games. It was quite fun. I was in no shape to drive home, so I crashed at Rachel's for the night. I woke up at about noon on Sunday morning to the sweet sounds of Rachel's dog barking. Rachel and I was out to rent a movie, and we ended up getting Antoine Fisher. This is a REALLY good movie people!!! It touched my emotions, and that's what makes a movie great...when it can get to a person's heart and feelings. After the movie, I went back home to shower and do some stuff with the movie I'm making. On Sunday evening, I finished the Bistro Jack that Rachel bought for me (THANKS A BUNCH!) and then I helped myself to a home made burger that my dad made. I would still choose my dad's burgers over Jack in the Box ANYDAY. After we ate, I took a trip up to Krogers to buy some lunch meat, and some more sunflower seeds for myself. Once I got back, I stated watching the movie Old School...a modern version of Animal House. Or at least that's what my dad said. But that movie still makes me laugh, and it'll be one of my favorites for a while. I finished the day by watching a couple of South Parks...the very first episode, "Cartman Gets An Anal Probe" and an episode from season seven entitled "Cancelled." These episodes have a lot of similarities in them, and plus...it's cool to see how much their animating has improved...it might not look like it, but if you watch an episode from the first season, and then watch one from the last season, there is a significant difference. This morning I woke up at around 11:45, and started to get ready for work. I made myself a couple of sandwiches (one for the road and one for my dinner), and then I was off for work. We have this thing called 'Joint Commission' here, and what that means, is there are people walking around the whole hospital, grading us on our performance. Since my boss gave them a whole presentation about me and what I do, I'm gonna have to expect them to come up to me one of these days and ask questions. Eh...it's ok. As long as I keep my cool and not get nervous, I'll be fine. They'll be here M-Th, so I better be on top of my game, and not let them catch me slackin' off. But I don't slack off so this will work out fine. Hahaha. Well, on THAT note, I am going to say goodbye the way the Radkes say it..."Whhhhhhhhhhhhhoa!"

Hey girls and guys!!! This is Jonathan Radke reporting to you from wonderful Houston, Texas...in Memorial Hermann Memorial City Hospital...by Memorial City Mall!!! How yas doin'?!?!?! I'm actually in a good mood right now, and I'm about to leave work in thirty minutes. So that'll make my mood even better!!! Well, yesterday went by rather smoothly, and the day ended by taking a short trip to Wal-Mart at 01:15 with Johnny. He?s a Wal-Mart junkie...or at least that's what he said..."I think I might be a Wal-Mart junkie." I just kinda agreed with him, since it's the truth. After we got back from Wal-Mart, Johnny hung out until like 02:00, and we were checkin' out this site that has all these different informative movies, all kiddied up and animated. We were watching about puberty and then SARS. Two very different subjects. They were quite amusing though...I learned a little bit about my changing body. Hahaha. Just kidding...I learned a little about SARS though so that was good. After he left, I started watching South Park, trying to fall asleep. I watched the "Rainforest Schlaimforest" episode and then the "Two Naked Guys in a Hot Tub" episode. I passed out in the middle of the second episode I was watching, and then woke up the next morning, ready for work. Today has gone by rather smoothly also, and I have found two whole beds in the hospital!!! Yeah!!! Tonight I think Johnny is comin? over to work on his CD stuff, and then possibly record me on the drums with his kickass recording equipment. But as for now, I'm gonna go, and let all you people bask in the awesomnous of Radke. Website: Random Thoughts - These are some crazy random thoughts!!!
