Wednesday, September 24th, 2003 21:16 - TAKING THREE TESTS IN ONE WEEK MAKE THE BRAIN MUSH Well, as you might have guessed it, this is Jonathan Radke reporting to you from work...MY work...not yours...MINE. Well, don't these days of our youth rock? I love going out and partying...OH WAIT...I DON'T HAVE TIME!!! CALCULUS TWO, CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS, AND GOVERNMENT EQUAL A WHOLE LOT OF MESS!!! Well, actually, I did go out last weekend and had a BLAST I might say. Well, let's start from where I left off last time. Let's see...it was a Tuesday, and it was Kathy Grau's birthday. Now what did I do on wednesday that i might have to talk about because I'm a TALKER. Hmmmmmmm... On Wednesday, I woke up, went to school, and then went to work. Not much activity...I took a tour of the new hospital building. OH MAN...walking around that place makes me want to be a patient again. I mean, I DON'T want to be a patient, but SHIT...they have a lot of luxuries that they didn't have back when I was in there. Get this...they have a screen that's like attached to the ceiling, and it like pivots all over the room...it has touch screen internet, cable, video games, menus for places in the area so they can just order from their room through the computer, and well SHIT...it's just really nice. They also have a HUGE room, with a 27" screen. So that makes it two TVs...the one on the wall, and the one that pivots around. I had a good ham sandwich at the end of the tour though. That was the highlight of my day. Wednesday night I um, I uh...slept...yeah that's it...SLEPT. No wait...it was a Wednesday, so that meant I could stay out late, because I had school at 14:30 the next day. Hmmm...I uhhhhhh...watched some movies and THEN went to bed. Thursday came around, and I woke up at around 13:00 so that was nice. I went to Chemistry, and hate my teacher somemore, went to physics and tried to understand my teacher somemore, and then went home to go to bed early...or at least attmept to. Friday was here, and I must say, I had plans that night...plans meaning going out and having a GOOD time. The day had to end though...I went to Calculus and tried to not be annoyed by the teacher that always makes mistakes which makes us erase more shit than I ever have in my LIFE. I went to goverment, and tried to stay awake, but I didn't succeed at that. After school, of course, I went to work. Both me and James were working today so I hung out with him. He's a pretty cool guy once you get passed the last name. He bought me Jack in the Box...nice guy. It IS true...all filipinos ARE nice!!! With Ms. Cruz being the exception (chemistry teacher). While at work, I went to the mall to buy a shirt for the party that night. There were gonna be girls there, so I had to look my best. I bought a cool retro shirt from American Eagle and another shirt from Hot Topic...it's a black shirt with the ORIGINAL Zelda nintendo game cartridge, and right below it, it says, "Pure Gold" since the first game was a gold plated cartridge. I'm an avid nintendo shirt collector, and I want THEM ALL!!! I still nee a few...I want this one that's a green ringer shirt with Luigi on it. and the other blue ringer shirt that has the original nintendo control on it. The Duck Hunt and Metroid shirts can wait, but i REALLY want the Luigi one. Well, after work, I went back home to change into my party ensemble. I put it on, called Melissa Joy Johnson, and waited for her to come over since she didn't know how to get there. She was at my house at about 21:45, and since it was still too early to go, I showed her my RadkeVIDEOS. If you haven't seen these, I definently reccommend watching them. Christina Salinas has them (but not WITH her..grrrr), Emily Martin has them, Yanin Ounkomol, Faith McCoy, Johnny Salinas, and I have them. I'm actually working on a new video right now...actually TWO videos. Those will be told once the time is right though. I want to present them to the world the CORRECT way. Ok enough with that...where was i? Ah yes...once the right time came around (22:15), we left for Juan's house. That night was the first time that me and MelJoy actually hung out together. I really had fun, and I met a girl that I thought was a major cutie. I'm prety sure I impressed Juan's friends with my drum playing (my drumset was over there since he's our singer and all). Well, I got home at about 03:30 Saturday morning. When I got home, I watched the first like 30 minutes of Old School, and then passed out on my bed. Saturday was Saturday and I had something to do...look for shoes. First of all, I woke up at 14:30, and by the time I got ready it was already 15:00. We wanted to practice that day at 18:00, but that didn't go too well. I went and checked it Chris (lead guitar) was doin' anything, and it turned out that he had to work until close that night (01:00). So that was out of the question. I called Brian (bassist) back to tell him practice was cancelled, and that made me a little pissed, since I REALLY want this band thing to work out. I went to Katy Mills that day to look at shoes, and I found a pair that I liked, but the only problem was that they were $75.00, and I refused to spend that much on shoes. I'm not in juinor high anymore. I went to Academy after that to look at the shoes there, but didn't find anything I liked. I gave Juan a call to tell him that no one was comin' over to practice, and he didn't like that either. That night, I just sat at home and watched Anger Management...i REALLY liked this movie. I dunno what it is about it...maybe it's the combination of Sandler and Nicholson. The way their characters socialized was great, and I can't wait until I buy it. Plus...the movie has a girl-girl kiss scene, and that's always a plus. Hahaha. I went to bed at 04:00 that night, and that was Saturday. Since Sunday is the day of rest, I got some stuff done. First of all, my mom woke me up at 11:30 by calling my cell phone, and instead of pushing the snooze button like I would on my clock, I asked her to call me again in 30 minutes to wake me up. She wanted to eat lunch with me at the Olive Garden since she was at work, and was REALLY hungry. So I got ready, and I was out the door at 12:30. I met her at the Olive Garden, and she was still waiting for a table. Our waitress wasn't very good...she kept on forgetting to get our breadsticks. I ordered the Fetuchinni Alfredo, and my mom ordered the muscles and artichoke & spinach dip. After eating, we went to Oshman's to get me some shoes. I got there, and looked around, and what do I see? The same exact shoes I saw at Katy Mills, but 25 bucks cheaper! So, my mommy bought me the shoes, and I was quite content. Oh...what shoes did I get? here ya go...Click here! They're good shoes...I'm not too use to the non wide length, but I'm gettin' use to them. I look pretty snazzy with 'em, and if I know people, they'll like 'em too. My mom also bought some plain white Nike walking shoes. Sunday afternoon, I had to write a Government paper, and study for my Calculus 2 test. That night, I was up until like 02:00 studying for Calculus. SO...the week was here...the TEST week. I woke up and dreaded going to Calculus to take the test. I couldn't handle anything too punky (music), so I listened to Dashboard Confessional. This is great music for just chillin' out and really laid back, easy going music. I got to Calculus, and took the test. Even though we were only suppose to answer 18 questions our of 19, I answered all 19 just incase I screw up on something. After that was completed, i went to Government, my WORST class. I semi-fell asleep again, but not completely. I just don't like Government...it's not interesting to me at all. I might have to drop it. Oh shit...it's time for me to clock out...I'll continue this later, k? bye! 02:55 (Thursday morning) - STILL STUDYING... Well, sorry it took me so long to finish my update, but there was a study pow-wow at Melissa's, and I ust got back. Now where was I? Ah yes...MONDAY. Well, after Government I went to work again. Work went well, and that night I watched um, no wait...i DIDN'T watch anything that night. That night was devoted to physics all the way. For I, Jonathan Robert Radke, had a test in there on Tuesday. Now was I ready fro this test? FU*K NO!!! But I tried my hardest to study, and I HOPE it did me some good. Physics is sorta like Government. It's not that I don't LIKE it, it's just hard for me to understand. It just doesn't "click" in my head. So I went to sleep on my physics book, with physics homework all over my bed. Needless to say, I passed out due to brain overload. So here's Tuesday...it doesn't LOOK like Tuesday. Well, I woke up at 09:00, because I had a doctor's appointment at 09:45. I came home after that, and NO...i didn't go back to sleep like you all were thinking...I actually started to make one of the props for one of the new videos I'm making. Only one person knows what videos they are, and that person is...NOT going to tell anyone else. Hahaha tricked ya there didn't i. Man Pepsi sucks...Coke is WAY better. Whoa...drifted off subject there for a second...I'm drinking a Pepsi and I just had to say that. Well, i eventually ended up in Chemistry with Ms. Bitchy McBitch aka Ms. Filipino woman who I want to feed to rats aka Ms. "it's assume...not ashume" aka Ms. "I'm gonna take off points because it was in uppercase leters instead of lowercase letters" aka Ms. Assigned seating in college aka Ms. Cruz. Argh...i really don't like this woman...I'm gonna start a group. SAFCT (Students Against Filipino Chemistry Teachers). Yeah...SAFCT...that has a nice ring to it. Our motto will be "SAFCT: Keeping the flips out of chem." Meetings will be held on Tuesdays at 13:00 in the Learning Commons where the printers are. We'll meet to discuss how to piss off Ms. Cruz that day. Man that would be SO awesome. Ok...I've ddrifted off subject again. After the very POOR chemistry test review, we went and had a chem lab where we mixed chemicals...which was actually pretty cool. After Chemistry, and after we had to clean out AND dry all our test tubes, I went to ask my physics teacher some last minute questions. That didn't do much good, so I just took the test with guessing on like 8 problems. I just don't get it people...if there is someone out there who can explain it to me a little easier then PLEASE...help me. Well, Tuesday night I came home and went directly upstairs. I watched a few movies...Memento, which is by the way...a GREAT movie, Road Trip, always a good laugh oh and she's SMOKIN' hot, and finally, 10 Things I Hate About You, SHE'S a hottie too...even when she was Alex Mack. Hahaha. I went to sleep while watching the "Krazy Kripples" episode of South Park. When Wednesday's sun glowed bright, and shined down on us, I knew this was gonna be another day I despised Government. The GOOD news about today is that I got back my Calculus 2 test grade...EIGHTY FU*KING EIGHT!!! I was so proud of myself, and I AM actually getting this stuff that they're teaching us in this fine schooling experience. Government wasn't so good though...pop quiz, and considering that I haven't read a SINGLE page out of my book, I didn't do so well. It was true/false quiz, but i guessed on almost all of them. We only covered two pages in an hour, because we kept on getting into debates over stuff not even related to the chapter. Oh MAN this Pepsi tastes like shit. I went to work, and then while at work, I started this update (back when it was Wednesday). When I clocked out at 22:03, I drove to Melissa's house to study with her for our Chemistry test tomorrow. Since we're pretty much like brother and sister, we get distracted with talking and stuff like that so it took us FOREVER to study. I mean, I left at 02:30, and we weren't even done yet. So, right now, I'm gonna go try to figure out some of the stuff we didn't go over in our study session, so I bid you all a good night, and pleasant dreams.

Comments Tuesday, September 16th, 2003 23:01 - And the birthday award goes to... How's everybody doin'?!? It's been a few days since I've uipdated huh? Krispy Ducks! Well, on Friday, I had school, and then work. At work, I had to train someone...get this...his name is James Bagabagon. That's like a word I would make up!!! Even Christina knew it was me after I said I was him with a differenr screen name. Ok...if you understood that, then that's an automatic 100 in Radke 101 (out of 100)!!! He's a filipino guy...100 % that is, and this is his first job in America. I hope I'm a good enough teacher. I think I am. On Friday after work, I stopped by at Walo Marto, and bought a few movies. Joe's Apartment and "The Simpsons" Halloween Special DVD. While at WM, I saw Melanie Risinger!!! She's goin' to UT!!! She seems like she's doin' good, and it was great seeing her again. While checking out, I received a call from our singer of Inactive Ignorance...Juan. It turns out that he was having a get together there, and he invited me. I went, hung out for a bit, and then went home. Well, I didn't exactely go home...I went to Kroger and bought some salami (to eat (I know...I'M GROSS but hey, IT'S GOOD!!!)). I alos bought another movie there... Whatever It Takes. This is actually a good movie, and that one girl...I forget her name...oh yeah! Marla Sokoloff. The picture on IMBD isn't that good, but man oh man..she's a major cutie. I think I actually first liked her when she was Stephanie's friend on "Full House." Don't worry...it was the LATER years. I got home, watched a few Simpsons episodes, and fell asleep. Well, Saturday was here, and we had practice...Inactive Ignorance that is. Well, we WANTED to at least. I brought my drums to his house, and set that up, so I got ONE done that day. Later on Saturday, I went to the Salinas house to play some F-Zero GX (<--AWESOME GAME). That night, I went to Jorge's house to watch the De La Hoya fight. He was ROBBED!!! We all thought so, and so did a lot of other people. I got to see my old frind Sean Hill so that was good. I left Jorge's at about 11:30, and went back to Juan's. This was the "REAL" party, but no one was really there, and there were no drinks or anything. I chilled, and at about 01:15, I went and got Kristyn so she could join us there. I was done hangin' out at Juan's at about 03:00, and that's when I brought Kristyn home, or at lesat to her friend's house. I went home, and then passed out on my bed. Sunday was here around the corner, and i didn't do SH*T. I first went downstairs in the morning, and watched the movie Life as a House. This is a REALLY good movie. It mad me tear up more than any other movie in my past. I don't mind saying that I cried a little. I'm secure enough with my masculenity to be able to say and do that. The rest of the day I just watched more movies and layed around in my pajamas. Joe's Apartment, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Whatever It Takes, and Spider-Man. Movie day at the Radke's. Since it was 05:00, I went to sleep. On Monday I had school which dragged ON and ON, and then back to work. I had to show James the stuff that he didnt' really get also. I finished all my lab reports, and studid a little on Cal 2. That night, while I was talking to Melissa (Johnson), she was having problems with Chemistry (we're in the same class), and it was extremely hard to explain that stuff online, so we met at Denny's on 290 and 1960 at about 00:30, Tuesday morning. We were there for about an hour and a half, and I DEVOURED a Ham and Cheddar Omelette. GREAT THINGS thems are!!! After I left Denny's, I stopped by at my FAVORITE place in the world, Wal-Mart!!! I bought some kick ass boot cut jeans for twenty bucks, and The Best of Will Ferrell. I went home, and watched the rest of Spirted Away that of which I was watching before I went to help my friend in need. I went to sleep at like 05:00 AGAIN. Doo doodoo doodoooooo TUESDAY! Doo doodoo. I woke up at 13:30, and got ready in thirty minutes in order to leave the house by 14:00 in order to get there by 14:30. Chemistry was ok...I GOT AN 87.6 ON MY FIRST TEST!!! I went to Physics, and got CONFUSED OUT OF MY MIND, but actually, by the end of the class, I really understood the stuff. In fact, I did the example problem on the board, because I was one of the only opnes that knew how to do that stuff. I was happy. Well, I got home, and to my surprise, I had a game due!!! That game, F-Zero GX. I returned it, and came back home to watch The Best of Will Ferrell. GREAT DVD...I recommened it to anyone who loves to laugh. I am watching the Simpsons Halloween DVD right now (I finally got around to it). Well now I'm gonna go ot sleep, but before I DO, I must explain the title. TODAY IS KATHY GRAU'S BIRTHDAY!!!

Friday, September 12, 2003 01:39 - It's been such a LONG TIME... Hmmm...when was the last time I updated? AH YES!!! Early early Saturday morning. Well, on Saturday, I went to Austin to hang out with the Tony (Johnny's brother) and all of his friends up there. I also go to see Katey Bornhurst, Christina Salinas, Kathy (name to be inserted once I learn it), Sarah Tamborello, and the McCulley brothers. I had a GREAT time *wink wink* and I didn't get but two hours of sleep that entire night!!! Ahhhh!!! The drive back was sorta painful, because I had to stay awake to make sure Johnny didn't fall asleep (he was driving). Well, we got home safe on Sunday, and I went out again to Krisyn Fukawa's house and hung out with Erin, Leroy, a guy I met named Robert, and Kristyn's brother's friends. I came home at about 01:45 or 02:00. Well, I had school the next day at 10:00, so that didn't really work out. I had to take a day off, but it's ok...I only missed Cal 2 and Governemnt. I had to be at work at 13:00 though. After work, I went back home and chilled with Johnny one last time before he lft for Chicago. We went and chilled in the bayou behid our neighborhood and felt "light headed" after a while. We got back, and watched Zoolander. Johnny let about half way through the movie, and I finished it up by myself. After that, I watched Little Nicky...possibly the WORST movie with Adam Sandler, but it has its moments. On Tuesday, my day started off at about 13:00 when I woke up. I had class at 14:30, so I was ok. I went to school, and I must say, I HATE MY CHEMISTRY TEACHER!!! SHE'S JUST SO....SO....FILIPINO!!!! Eh...I don't really care. That night, I went to hang out with Johnny before he left the next morning. I couldn't stay there too late, since he needed a lot of sleep for the next day. Jorge and I recorded him a little "ditty" on his little minidisc recorder. That night, I came home, wrote Faith a LAEM (Long Ass Electronic Mail), but then RIGHT when I was about to click on "send," my computer decides to reboot on it's own. Damn Hewlett Packard. Well, Wednesday was here, and I DID go to school. I learned about the number e...what the hell is that? The number 'e'? How the fu*k can a leter be a number?!?!? Calculus is messing with the law of reality!!! Of course, Government droned on, but just because I have no interest WHAT-SO-EVER in Government. I went to work, and it was MAD HOMEWORK. Chemistry studying, calculus take home quiz, physics lab report, and government studying. After I got off work at about 21:45, I went to Melissa Joy Johnson's house to help her study for Chemistry. When I got home at like 01:00, I still had to type up my lab report for Physics. I was up until like 04:00, and then i FINALLY got some sleep. It was ok...I had class at 14:30 on Thursday. Thursday finally rolled around, and man oh man...I wasn't wanting to take this Chemistry test. I think I did ok though...LET'S HOPE. I took the test, finished the lab in chemistry, went to physics, and then came back home. OH....dammit...in physics, the lab WASN'T due today...it's due a week from today!!!! Arghhhhh!!!!!!! I stayed up an extra 4 hours doing that SHIT!!! Eh...who cares...I would have prolly gone to sleep at that time anyway. Tonight I watched two movies I have never seen...Chicago 10 stars...and The Blues Brothers...another great movie. 70,000,000,000 blue hairs STRAIGHT UP! Well, since the night is no longer young, and the MORNING is young, I might as well say my good byes, and wish you all a good morning. DOMM DITTY BOPP BOPPY!!!

Saturday, August 30th, 2003 02:13 - BUSY BUSY DAY!!! Well people...these past few days have been quite very funnfully fun!!! Let us see...on Wednesday, I woke up at about 09:00 in order to leave for school at 09:30. I got to Calculus, adn everything was going just fine until the professor walked in...hahaha. Just kidding. I think I'm the only one in that class that knows what's going on right now. I might just be thinking that since I'm the only one who EVER answers our prof. She's a nice little Indian lady...good teacher though. Arter Calulus, I went to government, and this is the class that intimidates me a little bit. No, not Calculuc 2, not Chemistry, or not Physics. But GOVERNMENT. I've always thought the government as boring and well, BORING. After that was done, I went to work, and that was all good and fun. I wore my scrubs to school, and those are the days that you REALLY notice how much respect those guys get. So many people just like smile and say hi to me when I'm wearing them. It's amazing, and I love it. After work, I went home and chilled out with Johnny...I think. Oh WAIT...we went to Blockbuster that night, andrented The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers..BADASS MOVIE. Always will be. I definelty give it a 267 out of 3 on my 1-3 scale of Radkeness. Ya know, the Lord of the Rings trilogy is this generation's Star Wars...and I know for a fact that Ms. Pilar Christina Salinas would agree with me exuberantely. Well, on Thursday, I woke up at like 12:30 in order to be in school by 14:30. Chemistry was fun, but mainly becasue Melissa Joy Johnson is in ther with me!!! We got the whole Whitapino thing goin' with us. I actually had fun in physics, because I got to meet some attractive girls that are in my lab group. I'm becoming a stud before your very own eyes!!! Well, at least I like that think so. I just don't feel as nervous when I talk to the opposite sex like I used to be like. I couldn't even say hi to a girl who I thought was good looking. Yes, you can say it people, I was a loser that didn't know shit about anything relating to girls. I knew how to make the happy...I knew how to put a smile on their face...I knew how to make them laugh. But the thing that I lacked most of all was the ability to meet new people and carry on a conversation with her. I thikn I'm over that hump now, and I think that this summer really helped me with that. I don't know why, but it just really helped me. Well, after school, I went and rented Mario Golf once again, and brought it to Johnny's house. Johnny, Jeff, and myself played a game where I KICKED THEIR ASSES!!! hahaha. Well, Jeff had an excuse since it was his first time, but Johnny...he's played me a few times, and still hasn't learned the way of the Radke. After I left Johnny's at about 00:30, I took a trip to Wendy's and bought a BACON CHEDDAR MELT... GREAT sandwich. After that, on the spur of the moment, I decided to go to Wal-Mart to buy the third season of "The Simpsons." I came home, watched four episodes, went to bed at 03:00, and then I passed out. Friday was here, and what can I say...oh I know...TIRED AS HELL!!! Let's see...I woke up at 09:00, left for school at 09:30, went to Calculus (re-taught topeople what we learned on wednesday), went to government (zzzz), and then I was off to work!!! Oh man...at work, I had THREE DIFFERENT JOBS today. One being the bed finder, two being the courier, and three being the nursing office secretary. On top of THAT , I had physics homework, and cal 2 homework too. BUSY BUSY BUSY BOY!!! Well then...after work, I went to Johnny's to hang out a bit. I was in such a weird mood...I was like VERY HYPER. It must have been those three diet cokes I drank down before I left work. I was WIRED. It was GREAT. We went to Wal-Mart to buy pop-ice and eggos, and then we came home to watch some Simpsons. Actually, I'm still watching it...the soapbox derby one. Well, I got to talk to Christina tonight, and that was good, and Johnny passed out on my bed...that weakling. Just kidding. He went home, and here I am, updating. So, I say to all of you, GOOD NIGHT!!! and SWEET DREAMS for all the ladies out there. Website: Demented Cartoon - NOT LOADING ANYMORE!!! ShoUt out: Emily Lenore Martin - You know I love ya Emils!!!

Tuesday, August 26th, 2003 01:08 - I was pissed for no REAL reason?just being stupid I guess (see last entry) Ooooooooook?I was a little pissed at that moment. Oh well?I vented on my journal?that?s what it?s for, right? Well, we all went out on Saturday night to midnight rodeo, but first we stopped by at Priscilla?s house so we could all leave together (our group and Jorge & Rachel). Midnight rodeo was fun and Adam and Peter had a blast. When we got done, we went back to Priscilla?s house to chill for a bit. When we left her house, we took a little trip to Wal-Mart Supercenter for the guys. THEY DON?T HAVE IT UP THERE IN CHI-TOWN!!! We got home at about 04:00. Oh yeah?I bought Mel Brook?s Young Frankenstein while at Wal-Mart also. ONLY TEN BUCKS FOR A CLASSIC!!! On Sunday, we had a day of events, well actually it was just a fun day. I woke up at about 11:30, and took a shower and got ready for the day, et cetera, et cetera. I went over to the Salinas house at about 13:00 to eat some of Peter?s fantastic lunch that him and Johnny prepared for us. EXCELLENT cook, that Peter is. After we ate, Adam played us some more Classical guitar, which I might add is AMAZING at. He finished playing at about 16:20 (that?s 4:20 for all your potheads out there). Well, Christina and her roommate, Kathy (awesome girl) left after that, and we all said goodbye. I went to go get my mom?s car at my house since we didn?t have a car to get around in, and we had to hit a few malls. We finally left Johnny?s at 16:30, and that left us an hour and a half to hit three stores by Memorial City Mall. First, we went to K&G Men?s Mart for Adam, and it just so happens that Cavendar?s Boot City is RIGHT next-door, so Peter was able to buy the cowboy hat he wanted that he didn?t want to buy at Wal-Mart which I don?t blame him because those were so cheap. They were done shopping at about 17:30, and Adam still wanted to go to Hot Topic to buy a few shirts, but with the lines so long it looked like he wasn?t going to go. So, Adam left Faith with his credit card to buy his stuff, and I took Adam to the mall to check out the shirts. When we got there, we were in Hot Topic like 20-25 minutes. Adam bought a green Flogging Molly shirt for his girlfriend, and I bought another Nintendo shirt. I?m a fan of the Nintendo shirts. We had to be back at my house at 19:00, because my mom and dad was making dinner for Johnny, Adam, Peter, Faith, Jorge, Rachel, and myself. GOOD DAMN FOOD. We had grilled pork and chicken with fried rice, broccoli, green beans, with some strawberries and watermelon for dessert. We had some coffee and wine also. After we ate, Faith gave us a piano concert (AMAZING?my jaw was hitting the floor and I was in awe). I wasn?t the only one amazed though?my dad, my mom, Rick, Jorge, Rachel, and my sister were all EXTREMELY impressed too. I?m glad I got that sh*t on tape. After Faith, we watched Adam?s recording from Saturday, since he didn?t bring his guitar over. Classical guitar is so incredibly awesome and romantic. After that, we watched Donnie Darko. I like that movie, but I got the feeling that they didn?t like it too much. When we got done, the northies and Johnny went home. I crashed too, since Monday was my first day of school at 10:00 AM. That?s earlier than I?ve woken up this summer!!! So I had to get enough sleep. I went to bed at 01:08?EXACTLY. Well, I woke up yesterday morning and left for school?that campus is so big!!! I mean, in comparison to our old school, which looked like a elementary. I have pretty cool teachers, and I have at least one friend in both of those classes. This year should be really good?I can feel it. After school, I had to go to work, so I dashed there?Barker Cypress to I-10. Work was real tiring, but I think it?s just because it?s my first day doing both school AND work. I think I?ll be better on Wednesday (I?m working MWF now 13:00 or 13:30-21:08 or 21:53). Johnny came over tonight, and we chilled out for a little bit, and now here I am, updating. OH?one thing that disappointed me was that I didn?t get to say bye to the northies, but I said bye on the phone. I?ll be up there next summer anyway. Oh?I made two bracelets at work too?one that says "Diabetic" with blue, red, white and green beads on it, and one that says "Banana Boy" with black, green, and yellow beads on it. I needed something on my right wrist, so I?m glad no that I have some now. Tomorrow I have chemistry AND physics?both with labs, so I?ll tell you all about that tomorrow. MEL JOY JOHNSON IS IN MY CHEMISTRY CLASS!!! I?M EXCITED!!! Okay girls and guys?I?ll update tomorrow. Nighters!

Saturday, August 23rd, 2003 20:59 - dude duDE DUDE!!! Hey everybody out in RadkeLAND!!! How?s life. Ah that?s great. ANYWAY, I a little pissed off right now, so you?re gonna have to bare with me. WELL, this has been quite an interesting weekend! WAIT?when did I last update? Was it Thursday? Was it Wednesday? Eh?I don?t care. If I repeat anything in my previous updates, then oh well. Let?s see? I have to read this book Coming of Age in Mississippi?OH WAIT?that was too far ago. Let?s see?OH YES!!! Well, my buddy Faith from Chicago came down here with my soon to be buddies, Adam and Peter (all of Johnny?s friends up there ("northies")). We?ve been having a great time, but it seems like I?m never around when they do anything. Well, we went to Slick Willies the other night, but I?m missing out on a lot. Well, on Thursday and Friday I didn?t really care in the day since I was at work, but today?let?s see?we were all here playing our instruments (Me=drums, Faith=Piano, Adam=Classical Guitar, and Johnny=Saxophone), and then after we wre done, I went to a practice with Inactive Ignorance, where I expected to get some shit done. BUT, we didn?t really get ANYTHING done. I left there knowing the same shit that I?ve known for a long time now. While I was bored off my ass, trying to see where the practicing was going, Johnny, the northies, Christina, and her roommate go and explore downtown, and then they go eat at Pappasito?s. Now, I wouldn?t mind usually, but I really wanted to spend time with the northies and Christina since I?m not really gonna see any of them when school starts. It just pisses me off that I didn?t even have to be there. If I left my drumset at Brian?s, then at LEAST I would have gotten THAT done, but I had to take my set back home because there?s another set that goes there that Brian needs to talk to his dad about moving. It is SUCH a pain in the ass to load, unload, et cetera all that drum sh*t. So that?s the whole reason why I?m a little pissed right now?because I chose getting NOTHING done with II, over hangin? out with friends that I prolly won?t see after tomorrow for a long time. I?m such a douche. On top of that, the remote for my stereo system isn?t working. FU*KING A!!! Argh?I?m too mad to update right now. BYE.

OH MAN people...do you kow how many screen name the Radkenater has? TWENTY-SEVEN FU*KING SCREEN NAMES!!! Man!!! THAT'S A LITTLE TOO MANY TO HANDLE!!! Ok...my very first screen name was "Pimpo7183." I was only in seventh grade, and my best friend Johnny told me to put that as my screen name. After that, I had many others. I have an idea!!! I'll tell you all of them!!! 1. Pimpo7183 | 2.

There's a few others, but those were only for messing with Pratho (PR1S CRATHO and PRIS CRATH0(<--THAT'S A ZERO!!!)). Of course, I don't remember the passwords for more than half of them, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. It's not like that thing about "if a tree falls in the woods and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?" "yeah (other person)" "but how could sound exist if there is no one to hear it?" NO...IT'S NOT TRIPPED OUT LIKE THAT. It's not like "how could a screen name exist if there is no passwod to accompany it?" NO...NOT LIKE THAT. It doesn't really matter if i have a password or not. Stupid tree thing. ARGH. WELL THEN. On to update!!! On Monday night, Johnny came over to play some "Mario Golf" with my dad and I. I'de like to anounce that I won by at least 8 strokes. I KICKED THEIR ASSES!!! I ended up with 5 under par, and Johnny got something like 3 above par, and my dad...let's just not bring that up. I am good at this game people!!! It's REALLY all math, and me good in arithmetics. Writing and read good not so. After we were done playing, Johnny and I took a trip to Wal-Mart (we're two Wal-Mart junkies). I bought The Best of School House Rock on VHS. Lemme explain it though...ya see, for united way, we do this basket thing in the hospital, and each unit has a theme for the basket and the whole unit buys a bunch of crap related to that theme. Well, the theme of the nursing office (my unit) was back to school, and my boss asked me to get things like crayons or markers, but then I though, "why don't i get something COOL?" So then I bought the School House Rock thing. Even I still like School House Rock!!! Why wouldn't a little kid like it?!?! It really helps too. I mean, that one song helped me learn the preamble. --> "We the people, in orde to form a more perfect union, establish justice and ensure traquility, etc." I also bought Stephen King's Rose Red. I know what you're thinking..."WHERE is he getting this extra money?" Well, I'll have to answer your question with another question...WHAT extra money? Hahaha. No...that's not funny. Well, when I got back home, I watched the rest of A Nightmare on Elm Street 6: Freddy's Dead. The end of this movie is SUPPOSE to be 3-D, but it doesn't really work. Especially only with a 27 inch screen. I think it was a lot better on the big screen. After that, I went to sleep. Tuesday came around, and I had to wake up early to say bye to Yanin Ounkomol, and get my birthday gift from her. So, I woke up at 08:00, and then went to her house at 08:30. She gave me my gifts, and then I stayed there talking for a little bit. It was about 09:30 when I left there, and i had to be at my doctor's office at 10:00 for an appointment. So I went, and my blood counts were EXCELLENT!!! Better than my LAST appointment!!! Oh man...I love life. I was just tellin' Christina that right now in my life, this is the happiest I've ever been in my ENTIRE life. I just seem happier all the time now. I always have a smile on my face and a song in my heart. It's GREAT!!! I was done with the doctor's office at about 11:45, so I went and clocked in at 11:49. I worked good, and then when I got off (20:12), I went to Best Buy and bought two new CDs. "Alien Ant Farm - truANT" and "Dashboard Confessional - A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar" I know I shouldn't be spending like this, but I really wanted these CDs. When I got home, I decided to give my debit/credit card to my sister to keep until the weekend so I won't spend any more money. Yesterday night was pretty uneventful. I just watched Wes Craven's New Nightmare to complete watching the Freddy movies. I watched a few episodes of Futurama after that, and then I went to sleep. This morning, I woke up with a low blood sugar, and my dad helped me out with that. He's always lookin' out for me...I love that guy. I got to work, and I did a round. After that round, I ACCIDENTLY took a two hour nap, since our internet wasn't working. The internet is what i use to stay awake. So since i had NOTHING to do, I put my head down, and the next thing I know, I'm waking up, and it's 2 hours later. I need to start going to bed early so that I get enough sleep. Me and Sprint made a pact today. I'll explain: the first night, our goal is to be in bed by 01:00. If we go to bed any time AFTER that, the next night, our "bed-time" will by 00:55. If we don't go to bed by THAT time, our "be-dtime" will become five minutes earlier everytime we're late for our "bed-time." We'll just see how long this lasts. Hopefully it will be good for me. Right now, I'm just chillin' here, updating my journal. I got Felipe Lozano tellin' me which Simpsons is on, so I won't wonder later which ones I missed. Well, it's 19:00 now, and I havent eating anything since the ONE White Castle this morning. So, I'm gonna go eat my sandwich, and I'll let you all go now. PEACE I'M OUTTA HERE!!!

Ana2I4 (2:04:53 AM): lol theres a possibility Hey all you Radkians!!! How are you all doing?!?! WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! One at a time!!! That's just great!!! Anyway, I'm just sittin' here, watching A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and my goal for tonight is to watch all of the Freddy Krueger movies. YEAH!!! Freddy is like my all time FAVORITE horror villian guy. These are GREAT movies, and I have THEM ALL!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Of course, I spent like 75 bucks on it, but hey..IT'S WORTH IT!!! ANYWAY, I don't think I've done much this whole week...since Johnny was in San Antonio, helping Christina move into her dorm, and Pratho is either too tired or just doesn't feel like doing anything. On Monday, I came home and worked on my movie for a little bit, dubbing over voices and such stuff like that. On Tuesday, I went to work from 12:00-20:00, and then when I got home, Johnny's brother Drew came over to do the voice of Zoboo in my movie. After we were done dubbing over, we went back to the Salinas house, and I watched lik 30 minutes of The Godfather II. Having never seen the Godfather trilogy, I was completely lost, and I went home at midnight. Wednesday and Thursday were about the same...ya know...wakin' up, takinga cold shower, going to work, taking an hour nap at work, coming home, working on my movie, going to sleep watching South Park episodes. Friday strolled around, and I was chillin' at work, trying to figure out how to work with the new format for the program that I use. Well it turns out, that we couldn't get it to work for that day, so basically, I sat at workfor six hours, doing SH*T. Well, I DID do a round as courier, so that helped out the hospital a lot. I am the best damn courier in the hospital, and if that makes me sound conceided, then so be it. I've been told that I'm the most responsible and most dependent courier. Which is a shame, because I'm no longer courier!!! I'm the bed finder!!! When I got home, I went over to the Salinas house to watch some movies...Phone Booth and The Shining (OLD one, with Jack Nicholson). Phone Booth was good, and it's like the third time I've seen it, but what I really liked was The Shining. I give this movie a 10 point zoogybidook. The first time I saw it, I wasn't old enough to REALLY appreciate it. It is a GREAT movie, and Kuprick really knows how to do the building up to the moment thing. That's what truly makes it great. I went home after The Shining, which was at about 02:15, but it's ok...it was Friday. On Saturday, I woke up late...SLEPT IN!!! NO WORK!!! My goal was to finish my movie on this day, but ya see...the audio for my computer COMPLTELY FARKED UP ON ME!!! It REALLY pissed me off. Oh well...I'll get it fixed...even if it means me having to pay 30 bucks at Best Buy. I NEED it fixed...I CAN'T LOSE MY MOVIE!!!! Too much damn time and work on it to just "flush it down the urine drinker!"(<--TOILET!!!) Well, Saturday evening, I went to my second house (or at least that's what I like to call the Salinas house), and hung out, watching Johnny and David verse each other at "Street Fighter II." It was rather amusing. Johnny won a bunch of time, but that's onlt because he can't be anyone except Ryu. He uses Ryu and he's CHEAP with him. THAT'S why he was winning all those games. I'm not much of a fighting game kinda guy, so I just don't bother with them. I don't try to act like a badass, becaue I know I suck at them. But put a game like Mario Tennis or Mario Golf in front of me, and SHITE...you're DEAD. ANYWHO...that's what we did that night. We went and rented "Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour" for Gamecube, and we pretty much played it all night. GREAT GAME. I like it better than the Nintendo 64 version mainly becaus it seems like the greens are a lot more challenging. When I got home at like 1:45, I made myself a little snack, and then I started watching A Nightmare on Elm Street. When that was over, I popped in A Nightmare on Elm Stree 2: Freddy's Revenge. I just felt like watching all the Freddy movies. It's because of the new movie that just came out, Freddy vs. Jason. I already told you that I'm a die hard Freddy fan, so I won't get into that again. Well, I finally got to sleep at like 05:00...I KNOW!!! IT'S BAD FOR ME!!! BUT HEY...I ONLY HAVE ONE MORE WEEK OF SUMMER LEFT...MIGHT AS WELL LIVE IT UP!!! Well, Sunday was here, and I slept until 13:30 or something like that. I went downstairs to grab a bite to eat, and then I helped my dad in the yard by mowing the backyard. After that was done, I started watching A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, but I already told you about that in the beginning of this entry. Pratho came over to look at my audio properties, but didn't find anything. After watching part THREE, I put in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. About 30 minutes into the movie, my mom called me downstairs to eat dinner (spaghetti, ravioli, and italian sausages!!!) GREAT dinner!!! In the end of our meal, we received a phone call...IT WAS MATTHEW MUSKIET!!! MAN!!! It has been SUCH a long time sinc I've talked to this guy!!! You all remember Matt Muskiet, right?!?! He's the best friend of mine that joined the Marines after we graduated!!! I know that we will always stay friends, even though he lives in South Carolina. I mis ya bud!!! Can't wait to see you in November!!! After we were done talking on the phone, I played my drums for about 30 minutes, and then I brought Mario Golf downstairs to play it with my dad. Well, I played it one player first, adn I must say...I DID GOOD!!! I got four under Par!!! That was ten strokes under second place also!!! Um, OK. Well, I played a good game with my dad, and then when he went to bed, Johnny came over, and I beat his ass...TWICE. Take THAT, Mr. "I'm gonna only be Ryu!" Hahaha...I'm just kiddin', Johnny...we're bros, "dawg." Well, I missed a call from my good good Northerner, Faith McCoy, and I didn't get the message until 01:30, so I didn't want to wake her up with my cellular phone call (that's what they're called now if you're down with the lingo). Well, after I BEAT HIM THREE TIMES, we both went upstairs to look at my computer. I finished up A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, and then I started to watch A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, and that is what I'm watching right now. Out of all the Freddy movies, I would have to say that part four is my favorite. That is, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. I don't know why, but it has ALWAYS been my favorite. I think I like the whole thing about taking the other people's powers. I dunno, but it's cool. I like it. Well, since I REALLY have nothing else to say, and I can't think of anything else to say, then I'll leave you al with the thought of what I'm wearing at this very moment. Goodnight!!!

How are you all doin'? I'm doing fine at this very moment, but who knows in thirty second from now? I might have a sudden feeling of orgasmic porportions all over my body. But that's only if I'm lucky. So when you think of the name, Jonathan Robert Radke, think "orgasm." Hahaha...just kidding. These past few days have been nice wholesome days in the RadkeBODY. Let's see...where did I leave off last time? OH YEAH! You ready for this long ass update!!! I hope so!!! On Saturday Johnny, Andrew, and myself took a little trip to Katy Mills mall, but stopping by at Best Buy first. Andrew (Johnny's brother) bought a controller for his computer, because he's tired of using the keyboard to play his games, and he wants something GOOD. Not saying that his keyboard sucks...although it does. Hahaha. I bought a new "Me First and the Gimme Gimmes" CD (Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Blow in the Wind). I really like this band...and I thank Chris Pratho for opening my eyes to them. This band does like punk covers of 60's and 70's songs...well, actually, any kind of song from any time period. They have a CD where they do punk covers of broadway songs. I like it mainly because the drums are extremely involved, and they always have kick ass FAST parts...which are the kind I like. Hopefully I'll get some fast sh*t for my band, Inactive Ignorance. ANYWAY...back to Saturday...when we got to Katy Mills, I started feeling all of the insulin that was injected into me earlier, so we immediately went to the food court. Johnny and Andrew had Sbarro pizza while I had some barbeque (it was the shortest line, and I REALLY needed food in my system). It kinda sucked, because the meal that I got cost me a little more than eight bucks, but since I was low, I was just like, "fu*k it...i don't care." After we ate, we walked around, and stopped in various different stores (FYE, EB, Hot Topic, Spencers, et cetera). When we passed the pretzel place it smelled so good, that I decided to get one for me and one for Andrew because he wanted one. DAMN GOOD PRETZELS. While we were sittin' down, we were making some references to Zoolander because we smelled the Starbucks in there. We all said "Orange Mocha Frappachino" at the same time, and then Andrew started that song that plays right after. Ya know...starts with "Jitterbug." Well, Johnny and I were noticing that Andrew pitch was WAY off, and we tried to show him the correct pitch, but the thing is, he could sing it an octave up, but when he tried to sing an octave below that, he was way sharp. It was really funny, but I guess you would have had to been there. While I was laughing, I was also saying "That's good stuff...GOOD STUFF," and I've been saying that for about a week, and it just occurred to me at that EXACT moment, that I got that from my Chicago friend, Faith McCoy, since I've been talking to her a lot on the phone. Johnny just looked at me, and shook his head in that "I'm dissappointed in you" look...Faith knows what I'm talkin' about. Oh well though. I bought a white scrub top at the scrub store, because I think it looks better than all royal blue. We went home after that. On the way home it was raining like HELL. It was all smoothe sailing until about Clay Road (about four miles awya from home). It was COMING DOWN in that area. I drive REALLY defensively when it's raining, since so much sh*t has happened to me in the rain. Thankfully, I got home ok, and just chilled out for a while until about 21:00, which at that time I went to Chili's (290 and hwy 6) to meet up with my friend Rachel. I had a kick ass cheese cake when I got there, since I had already ate some filipino soup at my house. We hung out a little bit, try to get a hold of other people so we could go out and do something once Jorge got off work. We called up Johnny and Katey, and soon enough, Katey joined us at our table at chili's. A little bit after that, Johnny came to add to our group. We actually just stayed there until chili's closed, and then we all decided to rent a movie and watch it at Jorge's (which we never did). All the people that went over to Jorge's or that were already there were Chrstina Salinas, Ana Valladares, Katey Bornhurst, Rachel Newburry, Jorge Valladares, Johnny Salinas, Chris Pratho, and myself. We just sdat around talking over at Jorge's, and I took an AWESOME picture with Katey, Rachel, Ana, and Christina. I'll post it sometime. We hung out, talkin' to people on the phone, and I did some workin' out on the Chuck Norris Total Gym. Hahaha...well not much, but still a little. Rachel and Ana taught us this game called "Drop It Like It's Hot," and we had fun doing that for about 10 minutes. Rachel started popping everybody's back, and then when she got to me, when she pressed down at the top portion of my back, I let out this really girly giggle that I have no idea where it came from. I sounded like the Pillsbury Doughboy. It was pretty damn funny though...I'm laughing right now, just thinkin' about it. We all left the Valladares house at about 03:30, and then it was time to go home. I watched a few "Home Movies" episodes, and then I went to sleep. On sunday, I woke up at 12:15, and took a cold shower. I knew that everybody was going to be busy that day, so I decided to go out and entertain myself until that night. My quest to find fun started at home, where I ate a salami sandwich, which wasn't that good since all we had was jewish rye bread and miracle whip LIGHT mayo *barf.* So that wasn't very fun, but it put food in my tummy. YAY!!! Um...ok. The first place I stopped at was the Blockbust on Barker Cypress and 529 to get the movie The Ring from my friend, because I promised Katey that we would watch it that night. Then I took a trip to the place I work, Memorial Hermann Memorial City Hospital to get a pair of scrubs that I was gonna give to Christina as a going away gift. The shirt fit fine, but the pants are a little tight, so I'm sorry about that. I wanted to leave her with a good memory of me, so I went out and devoted the whole day to finding a GREAT gift for her. After I got the scrubs, I went to Best Buy, but they didn't have the item I wanted to get her, but they DID have American Pie 2 for the cheapest price that I've ever seen ($15.99!!!) so I got that for myself. I went and checked out the Blockbuster on I-10 and Echo. They DID have the item I wanted to get her, but it was WAY over priced. I then went to Suncoast in the mall, and that price was worse than the one at Blockbuster!!! Being doubtful that I would find it anywhere for a decent price, I was about to stop. I remember about Circuit City, so I took the backroads to get there. If I didn't find it there, I was just gonna go buy it at Blockbuster for 25 bucks. I arrived at Circuit City, and looked around a bit, but it was no where to be found, so I decided that i was going to go back to Blockbuster to get it for her. On my way out, I decided to ask someone if they have anymore, and in fact, they had plenty more of them, but they were on the shelves in between the aisles...and for only 15 dollars!!! I was SO happy when I found this, because I just knew it was going to bring a big smile to Christina's face, and that people, is the only reason i get gifts for people or do favors for people...to get a smile out of them. It feels so good to smile, and plus...it's contagous!!! (I've said this before). Well, I bought it, and then I went home to wrap it up to get ready for giving it to her. Before I wrapped it though, I watched America Pie 2...this movie gets a 10, and I'm sure I don't have to explain why. After the movie I started to wrap her gift. For some reason, I just didn't wanna leave my room for anything. Having no wrapping paper in my room I used what I had. I got two sheets of paper, and wrapped it around the item. I looked for tape, but I had none. I pulled out my drawer on the right side of my computer, and I found some name tags that have been there since like when I started working at the hospital. I used the name tags to tape down the paper since I had no tape, and then a stroke of genius came over me...I put name tags all over the paper, and then I made a follw the words type of thing. I numbered each name tag, and I put a different word on each of them, so when she reads it 1-10, she would read, "I didn't have any tape, so I used name tags." I wrote a few famous quotes that have come from me, and a few IJs between both of us, and used 2 of the name tags to write "To: Pilar Christina Salinas" and "From: Jonathan Robert Radke." I created the card with my corel print house program on my computer, and I wrote a nice letter telling her how much I'll miss her. I made up a new RadkeLOGO for the back of the card too --> RadkeONKS - We don't know what it means, but it could hurt anyone, right? Well at least we HOPE not. I ran out of real words for my RadkeLOGOS, so I just made one up...ONKS. When I was done wrapping her gift and making her card, it was about 20:00, and I told people to come over at about 21:00 to watch The Ring. Christina, Ana, and Christin were the first people to come over, and we chatted it up for a little bit while I ate about a half of a watermelon that was cut up into pieces. WATERMELON IS THE BEST!!! I gave Christina her gift, and she loved the way I did the wrapping. Her and Ana both said things like, "very creative" and "cute." Christina didn't want to open the gift up without messing up the wrapping, so I handed her some scissors to open it nice and neatly. She opened her gift, and then she gave me a big hug, and thanked me for getting her Moulin Rouge. I just realized that I never told you what I got her until this very moment!!! If you're saying that I'm stupid because I didn't, then SHUT UP! I MEANT to not tell you until just now. So it's like you were opening it yourself when she opened it in my upddate!!! I'll let you know that I got what I set out to get from her...a big smile on her face because of an act that I did. Katey was the next one to come over, and then Charles Ross...who came over to say bye to Christina, but he only stayed for a little bit. We moved into the living room, and we were just waiting for Johnny and his brother. Johnny told us to just go ahead and start the movie, so that's what we did. Kelvin Wilkes came over RIGHT as we were starting the movie, and then Johnny and Andrew came in about 20 minutes after it started. Tim Hall and Corey McCulley came in about half way into the movie, and Pratho came at like 15 minutes to the end. After the movie, I went and grabbed the film short, Rejected, and we watched it. That sh*t is FUNNY AS HELL. We all cracked up. After that, Ana, Christin, Tim, and Corey left, and so it was only Christina, Katey, Johnny, Kelvin, Andrew, and myself. We sat aroud talking for a little bit, and then I showed them the first couple minutes of my "Diary of Humpal Ottoligs" film short that I am currently making. By the way they were laughing, I am CERTAIN that this film short will be hilarious. It made me happy to see how a creation that came from my mind made people laugh like that. I also showed them a few of my RadkeVIDEOS, and a couple of my video game dub-overs that I've done. I love making people laugh...it makes me feel so good. Everyone ended up leaving at like 01:30. Johnny left with my computer controller, since he wanted to play some head on head games with his brother. Andrew left with and Amadeus, and Pratho left with Fight Club. Since I'm such a nice guy, I let them borrow those items with no argument. Plus...they're like family to me. PLUS...I know where they live. So if they dont' return the items before they leave for college or the air force, I'm comin' over and slitin' their throats with a banana. Heh heh heh. After everyone left, I started talking to others online, and ATTEMPTING working on my film short. Losing interest very fast, I watched the new episode of Home Movies that I downloaded, and passed out right after it. This morning, I woke up at 11:00, and started getting ready RIGHT AWAY, because I wanted to see Christina one more time before she left for college in San Antonio. Monica was also saying good bye when I got there so that was cool that I got to see her too. Well, of course I knew this time would come, but I just didn't think it would come so fast. I gave Christina my last hug for a while (and it was a good one), and she left me with a BEATIFUL senior picture of herself. When I got into my truck to drive to work, a single tear came out of right eye, and then the feeling of sadness passed soon after that. On the way to work I stopped thinking sad, and then I was happy for her that she got into a nice college, and that she's growing up. I'm not sad anymore...I'm happy for her. If you know my work screen name, then you might have seen the away message, "In my mind, I think I shoud be sad, but in reality, I'm happy for her. I'll miss ya, Sprint." So here I am now, updating with this LONG ASS update. I apologize if this is too long, but no one reads this anyway so I don't see how it matters. Cheers!
