Levi Johnston Does Playboy! I WANT TO SEE IT!!!
After a tease earlier this week, Playgirl.com has posted 25 shots of Levi Johnston nude. So you can now pay $19.99...... to see his butt. If you do, please describe it for me, cuz with no full-frontal, that $19.99 buys less than what I saw (unexpectedly!) of Kevin Bacon in Wild Things, and there's a recession on.
Thanks!
Thanks!

FINALLY!!! A homework assignment I can enjoy...
So my english class wanted a writing sample, so they can figure out what kind of writer I am, what my writing style is, and how well I can articulate my thoughts. Im sure its also a test in vocabulary and spelling but whatever. So Im reading this...and Im laughing inside thinking.... "Omg read my blog."
Anyway, to make this situation EVEN BETTER... they give us a subject. The subject they give us is "Why are we so fascinated with Celebrities?"
I almost had a gay-spazz-orgasm combined with laughter.
So below is what I wrote and submitted to my English Professor who wrote "Andrew, Very Good Work! I have a feeling I will enjoy your writings! Keep up the good work!"
Okay so here is what I wrote:
Why are celebrities so fascinating? As the passage said, these people are living in a parallel universe. The fact is that celebrities have access to things that the rest of us can only dream about. The best clubs, the nicest homes, cars, and exotic vacations are just the tip of the iceberg. We all have our “normal” lives. Who doesn’t enjoy stepping out of ourselves, and indulging in a reality other than our own? Some people play video games, or interactive games where you can design your own human being, and live their life for them. This gives them a chance to step out of their own lives, and live another fantasy life. Some people read, watch movies, or daydream.
Then, there are the tabloid readers, the people who obsess about celebrities and their lives. It’s so easy to feel better about your own life, when you see Lindsay Lohan face down in a gutter after a night of heavy drinking and (alleged) drug use. How easy it is for us to judge these celebrities when we don’t have to ever answer to them. We see them and say “oh dear, she is gaining weight,” or “oh that child is too thin,” yet the answer always is: “Well, that’s Hollywood for you.” The truth is, we are fascinated with them because most of us, will never be in their shoes. There is a positive and negative side to this. The positive being, we get to see what they see, we get to see where the celebrities go for coffee, dinner, or vacation, and you know there are people lining up to get coffee at the same spot where their favorite actress was spotted by the photographers just days before. We sit there, sipping our chai teas hoping that maybe, just maybe, that actress will walk in, notice your quirky style, or expensive purse, and say “Hello, I just love that (whatever it is about us that we think will catch their eye), where did you get it?” and boom, we are now best friends with Reese Witherspoon. Some people are what are commonly referred to as “Super Fans.” This special breed of celebrity tracker has genuine interest and cares about their celebrities of choice. They want to know that their genetic-lottery-winning celebrity children are well taken care of, they want to send “Get Well” cards to the rehab center where their icon is detoxing after a good binder in Vegas. As long as this person isn’t neglecting their own lives, and not stalking the celebrity, this can be a positive thing because this celebrity gives this person hope, and makes him/her feel important in the life of someone important to them. This can also motivate the fan to be a better person, to do charity work, to donate to worthy causes, and to avoid excess partying because look what happened to Britney Spears.
The negative side to this is that some people become bitter or jaded. They envy the celebrity. They get jealous when their celebrity dates someone who they think isn’t worthy. They make judgments about their celebrity for being too fat, too thin, too old, not enough botox, bad outfits, not driving a hybrid, you name it, they think it. It’s never healthy to dwell on negativity, regardless of the circumstances. This, in turn, often becomes how people relate to each other. They start to see the flaws in everyone they meet. This will have bad consequences on their social lives, family relationships, friendships, and future romantic relationships.
The one thing to remember is that it is okay to idolize a celebrity for their talent, or their looks, or even their shoes, but be sure to snap back into reality. Our fascination with celebrities is basically a distraction from our own, not so glamorous lives; but, like junk food, alcohol, and high fructose corn syrup, it’s okay…in moderation.

Damn You!!!
What's worse... wishing you never met someone, or still having feelings for that person when you know its just never gonna happen?
either way, it feels like shit.

What's Up Pudding Cup?
Well damn its been a while since Ive posted a blog that wasnt about music.
Here's whats up in my life. Viva La Vida Dru....
Life in San Diego has been good, slow and boring but good. I have yet to develop a social life, mostly because I probably could put more effort into going places and meeting people, but frankly, Im lazy.
I did have coffee with someone who I think will be a very good friend who I will have lots of fun with, named Jimmy. No that isnt dirty gay "fun"...pervs. He has a man. He is funny and interesting and loves Avatar as much as I do. WOOT
Im told the craziness back home has calmed own. THANK GAWD. Its exhausting to drive all the way back to my old hood, just to be met with peoples issues. I have one friend who needs to stop whining about stuff, and do something about it and its incredibly frustrating because this friend has been a friend for a while but its like OMG STFU and do something. Stop bitchin. See a therapist or something..shit.
What else... OH I made the 1300 mile trip to Dallas a few weeks ago to spend a weekend away and to meet a cutie that I adore. We had a wonderful weekend, and he is very special to me. YAY. He knows who he is, and he knows I adore him endlessly. Im excited for him to move to california so we can kick it.
So my plan right now, is to kinda give up on men. Ive gotten my hopes up so many times just to be disappointed...so why bother? Dallas guy will probably be moving to cali next year around fall...so until then, Im pretty much not gonna bother. I thought i met someone before I moved who happened to live down here, and I really thought he and I wouldve been perfect together...i guess he felt differently, cuz after i told him that when he was ready for another relationship, that I really wanted that relationship to be with me...our contact all but vanished. I rarely hear from him and if I do its once in a blue moon and its usually "hey buddy...hows life" 5 minutes later, the texts end. *sigh* Yet another example of why I never try so hard not to get my hopes up, cuz Im always disappointed, and left alone wondering why I bother.
As much as I would like to find the right guy, Im really starting to think that maybe there isnt one out there for me, and I think Im learning to accept that and be okay with it. I dont feel that longing for companionship anymore...and once Im more financially stable and have my school issues cleared up (thats a whole 'nother blog post) Im thinking I might summon up the courage, to get a dog.
I
WANT
A
PUG
.
I cant decide if I want to name my pug Scrunchy Face, Foo-Foo Cuddly Poops, or Chunk.
Its a big commitment, and a HUGE responsibility that I dont want to take on until I know I can handle it, but it will happen. I have this feeling though... the feeling that more guys I meet, the more I will love and value my pug. Yes, I will be one of "those" and Im okay with that.
OH and b-t-dubs, you all are going to have to learn to accept the fact that YES I WILL BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO DRESSES THEIR DOGS! My pug will have at least one black t shirt with something clever or funny on it. He/She will probably have at least one halloween costume as well. Deal with it. I dont give a fuck if you like it or not.
My mother has been recovering from her stroke that happened back in may really well. She is driving, thriving, and walking. She is now on a cane, so she is able to move around better. She has her Smart Car which is both ridiculous..and adorable. She is so cute in it, and so happy. Which is what makes me so happy and glow inside. You dont even know the struggles that woman has been thru, and how she summoned up the strength to always keep going even when everything was against her, she never gave in and never gave up, and now that she is happy, I glow. Im so happy I Could cry.
She is, as I type this, on a cruise in the greek isles.
Well, I have a long weekend ahead of me, Im going to Ventura for a night, then heading to Lake Havasu AZ to visit my dear friend Gary and Kim. I love their house, its high class yet comfortable and peaceful and relaxing. They always feed us like Kings when we come visit, not mad at that, and its always fun to go. Im excited. I will be out of town for the next 5 days, so wish me safe travels.
Much Love to all and thank you for still reading my blog.
I know I have said this like 50 times, but i swear when I have more to write about I will.
OH, Im thinking about turning my tragic dating history into a book. Im actually considering trying to write a book, can you believe it?? I figure who better to tell the world what NOT to do that someone who has done it all wrong from the beginning. hahahaha
I will talk about my awful dates, funny stories, amazing friends, horrible ex boyfriends (who I will probably have to disguise with different names, but that are close enough to know WHO THEY ARE IF THEY READ IT...fuckers.... but it will be funny, informative, and so very ANDRU. Who knows, maybe I will make some money and become an author, or a comedian or something...who knows. All I know is that I need to find a way to live life without worrying so damn much about money.
OH and my friend Aaron is talking about doing a Roller Derby Interviewer webisode type thing starring yours truly!!! OMG if I become a web celeb I'll die. My goal right now is to be the gay Chelsea Handler. HAHAHAHAA
Oh and to use my celebrity (if I achieve it) to meet people like Kathy Griffin, Mo'Nique, Chelsea Handler, Joe Rogan (HOT) and maybe some of my favorite musicians.
oh and...make a difference in the world i guess or something....
OKAY i need to sleep
Peace out bitches. <3

As much as I love to be kept in the loop, Im REALLY GLAD Im not there.
Im just waiting for the roof to be blown off... its gonna happen, there have been plenty of close calls, but the shit hasnt fully hit the fan yet....so brace yourselves.

Please DIE Kanye
Dear Kanye West,
You are not a remarkable talent. Your fame is fizzling, and so you stomp on other peoples glory just to get attention. You need to fucking die in a fire. I hate you.
I used to like you, loved what you said about George Bush not caring about black people...that was awesome...but ya know, ok so Beyonce may have made the greatest song or whatever...but the bottom line is...Taylor Swift won the award, how DARE you crush her moment. You are a heartless fuck and I hope Taylor hires someone to beat your fucking face to a pulp, then I hope that you die in a slow burning fire.
FUCK YOU KANYE WEST, I HOPE YOU DIE.
ok I vented I feel better

I Don't Get It
I've noticed that people have this great ability to convince themselves of ANYTHING.
Take Miss Lady at the grocery store today...she managed to convince herself that the lavender leggings, gold ballet slippers, and an orange oversized sweat shirt was a FIERCE outfit. Obviously along with being color blind, she must also have thought that leaving her house in that abortion of color would be acceptable. I think if you can get a ticket for crossing a street in the wrong place, then people whose horrible choices in fashion that cause traffic accidents...should be ticketed too.
Also, by the way, as a piece of advise for the world... if youre sitting at starbucks, and youre listening to the conversations of those of us who are interesting, please dont get upset if we give you dirty looks, cuz by eavesdropping, YOU are, in fact, the rude one.
I have decided that there are a few people that I am MORE than okay NEVER talking to again.
The Egyptian for instance... omg get a clue. I tried to be nice, you couldnt extend the courtesy, I mean yeah okay so I told you it was NEVER going to happen with us, but dont be bitter.
Rudy...OMG, please go away and STAY GONE. I do not want you in my life. You crossed a line. So please, stay out of my life. You wanna try to mend ties with some people that you and I have in common, then so be it....but stay the fuck away from me.
BTDubs people...i have wicked heartburn and dont know why....I blame the roast beef sandwich, and red wine.
what else is on my mind.... OH
the googley eyed money stack that represents the money you could be saving with geico...is no longer funny, cute, or interesting....Geico...Please make it go away. Youre beating a dead horse.
Speaking of Horses...that tacky ass bitch Kim Zolciek needs to go away and never come back. Bitch you cant sing, the producers used their computers to make you sound like a person with a shred of talent....fact is... you dont have any talent, money of your own, or class. go away ya bald headed HEFFA.
BTW if anyone knows NeNe Leakes, and you might want to make my dream of being her friend come true, please forward my name, facebook, twitter, or this blog to her.
Okay I think thats all I have to rant about today. I promise Im gonna start blogging more. I have been neglecting my blog. Bad Andru.

BTW if anyone knows NeNe Leakes, and you might want to make my dream of being her friend come true, please forward my name, facebook, twitter, or this blog to her.
Okay I think thats all I have to rant about today. I promise Im gonna start blogging more. I have been neglecting my blog. Bad Andru.

Drama Llama
so... im very sick of drama. It now involves me because someone thinks I have chosen sides, when I havent. Although I have a very strong opinion on the situation, i have worked pretty hard to stay OUT of the situation. I guess having an opinion means Im involving myself? I dunno but I guess Im gonna have to address this problem. *ugh*
Oh well. Aside from that all is well. Things are okay. Im trying to sell my second car, and thats about it. Thats my life.
Sorry for the short update, but I'll be back with more fun to share.

Kendra (Girls Next Door) You are not a bad person, you are not evil or a waste...I mean, okay you havent done anything to benefit the world, except to introduce me to the sexy ADONIS that is your husband. meow,....but YOUR FUCKING LAUGH IS LIKE NAILS ON A CHALK BOARD. AND I WATCHED YOUR STUPID SHOW, YOU GOT THAT FUCKING STUPID IRRITATING LAUGH FROM YOUR CUNT MOTHER. For her to say what she said about not being happy for you when she finds out your prego...what a bitch.
Sallie Mae - Fuck you for declining my student loan you rotten heartless bastards.
The NYC Prep Cast. You stupid little bitches and pricks need to die. Okay well not ALL of you. P.C.... you are gorgeous and there is hope for you. Jessy, you are not a pretty girl you are weird looking...get over yourself. Kelli... you have talent, use it, but please dear god educate yourself and stop acting like you know better...than anyone about anything... you just make yourself look stupid. Sebastian...you have an irritating nasal ignorant voice, and you are NOT CUTE... just because girl are stupid enough to buy your routine, doesnt mean youre hot, just means those girls are fucking morons. Camille...please get over yourself. You have a big ol round head, thin weird hair, and a crooked face...stop acting like youre cute, you arent.
Kim Zolciek. The weirdly plastic looking white trash blond whore from The Real Housewives of Atlanta... you big dumb hooker. Nene was right, close your legs to married men. You gold digging whore. You cant sing, and if you have an album i guaranty they had to "fix" your voice in the computer at the studio, you have no talent, you are a lying stupid fat whore.

Sean Kingston. You are nothing more than a nasal fat nobody. Your career will die and i will be glad when it does.
Tom Greene: you havent been on anything and Ive been very happy about that. please dont ever return.

Ryan Seacrest.... go behind the scenes....please. OH and quit playin, you arent NOT straight.
Most of the wives on Wife Swap..... you are fucking freaks.
umm....okay thats it for now, but there will be more oh yes.
Since Im on the subject, i used to have a friend, but since he has now decided to remove me, and my friends from his life....for doing nothing, I have decided to let it out.
Tyler, you are a fucking jack ass. YOU dumped HER...she did NOTHING TO YOU, yet here you go , acting the fool having a hissy fit like a baby cuz your friends were still friends with her. Get over it. you were told from jump that we liked her, and you break up, we will remain friends with her. Stop cryin like a bitch "ehhhh you stole my friends" get over it. if that were the case we wouldnt even talk to you....but we did. Plus you never hang with us anyway, so why would you expect that to change without you calling US. Hello? like you ever hung out before.
here is my thing, i never did anything to you. I never chose anyone over you. You and I didnt hang out anymore or any less because of your break up....but you are being a cry baby saying that everyone did that to you, so ya know what...fine. BYE. GOOD RIDDANCE. YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED. GO. BE GONE. AND DONT COME BACK.
Here is my thing, if you are gonna say shit, and you are gonna have a fit and walk out of the people you are associated with...DONT COME BACK. That goes for friends, Derby, work, whatever....
Ive seen it with Derby where some bitch will have a hard night, throw a fit, and walk off the rink or bail on the league right before an event or game...fine. GO but DONT FUCKING COME BACK.
Frankly I dont give a fuck, if you wanna know who Im talkin about, ask me Ill tell you. You threw a fit in Vegas saying things like "fuck VCDD fuck this league" and removing your jersey and shit... fuckin go BUT DONT COME CRAWLIN BACK!!!! I dont get how she disgraced our league in front of other people in Vegas like that, talkin shit about her own league... AND THEN NOTHING HAPPENED??? SHE WASNT SUSPENDED OR EVEN PUNISHED AT ALL??? AND WE LET HER CONTINUE TO SKATE WITH US??? WTF. Fine. But dont punish anyone else for that shit either. BULLSHIT. That league is getting full of bullshit. DEAR COACH...IF YOU DONT KNOW THE RULES SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP ARGUING. THE HEAD REF KNOWS THE RULES, AND HAS THE RULE BOOKS ON HER. STOP ACTING LIKE YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THE RULES YOU FUCKING CUNT BITCH.
HEY YOU, MULTI TASKER....YOU WANNA TALK BIG ABOUT HOW OUR B TEAM NEEDS TO PLAY BETTER SKATERS AND GET EXPERIENCE< YET YOUR LIL LEAGUE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH OF OUR PLAYERS THEY CAN PLAY AGAINST...HI thats not how the world works. Yet we indulged it. LAME. Such stupid drama....

Viva La Musica
Just as a disclaimer for those of you who dont know me that well, I have the most random taste in music EVER. But from time to time I will post a list of stuff I like, and that I am currently listening to and usually singing along with ...badly...in my car.
I always recommend that you download them and give them a listen...or check out you tube, usually you can find the songs on you tube with some bullshit homemade slide show "music video" some random nobody in some backwoods state made and posted between 5 & 6th period at Loser Mc NoLife High School.
Anyway, here is my list of music that I currently am completely in love with, ENJOY!
Mandy Moore - In My Pocket
- You Remind Me
- Yo Yo (<---- i know this one sounds like a bubblegum pop bullshit song, its not. I mean, its from her second album so it still has its roots in pop...but its a good song.)
Incubus - Aqueous Transmission
Schuyler Fisk - Waking Life (odd way to spell the name Skylar...but whatever)
Hoku - Closer
David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland - When Love Takes Over
New Found Glory - King of Wishful Thinking
- Don't You (Forget about Me)
- Crazy For You
- Stay (I Miss You)
Yellowcard - Everywhere
Silverstein - Apologize
Four Year Strong - Love Song
Daughtry - Poker Face
Yes, everything from New Found Glory down is covers of other songs, and they are done pretty well...in fact I think that Daughtry did a better job with Poker Face then Lady Blah Blah. Honestly, I dont understand why everything is so impressed with her....not that her songs havent been catchy, but she isnt an amazing talent, her music isnt unique or revolutionary, and she has the STUPIDEST NAME EVER. Lady GAGA??? really?? *ugh* but then again, sometimes music isnt meant to be meaningful... so whatever work it out.
Hope you all love the music, if not, whatever.
OH and by the way, if you hear anything you like, and think you have something I might like, please let me know! Post suggestions as comments, and I'll personally give you my feedback. :-)

Good Times
Well, I was in SD for two weeks, now Im back in the 805 for a week or so. So Ill be in the east end of Ventura at Amanda's house hangin out with her two kick ass dogs, Carly and Guinness. There will be pictures. :-)
**Special Private Note for someone special who totally knows who she is: you make my day brighter. I kinda feel like I might need you in my life. xoxo**
moving on...
okay...so I've been thinking lately that the gay community in California...specifically the Bear's little sector...is far too small. it makes me a little sick that I cant escape my ex no matter what I do. He is the only ex who lingers. Its not that I hate him. I dont. I just am not a big fan of what kind of person he has become. Im also not at a point where Im comfortable making jokes with him or bringing up our past relationship. I think he thinks we are friends. Good friends. and that everything with us is peachy and everything is perfect. WRONG. I am over him, Im not in love with him, havent been in a LONG time...but I never forgave him for what he did to me, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna let him think otherwise. Bottom line: seeing him makes my stomach hurt a lil bit, i cant explain it, its like...even though I care about him, and am SOMETIMES happy to see or hear from him.... whenever he is talked about, or I see him somewhere, or he texts me, or whatever...my immediate reaction is negative. A look of "ugh ew" comes to my face, my stomach gets that weird gross feeling, and I immediately wanna turn and walk away. But sometimes, that is just for a second or two then Im like "aw he had a nice comment to make on my facebook,isn't that nice of him." WEIRD> I dont know, he seems to have this idea that he is gonna come visit me in San Diego.... thats laughable. Its nice that he wants to. Obviously he wants to have a good healthy friendship with me, I just dont know if I can. Besides, its weird enough that we are ex's.... on top of that he has a bf, and did he think he was gonna bring his bf to my house?? cuz NO. thats not okay, and him coming without his bf, to visit his exbf...would be weird, if I were his bf I wouldnt be okay with that. Hell Im not okay with him coming to visit me in SD. OH and he asked if he could STAY AT MY HOUSE>... am I on glue? Is this happening? I dont think so ex boyfriend. no no. I cant give a valid reason, I cant explain why, but it feels VERY wrong to me. I think I may still have some hurt feelings, and disappointments, and maybe Im still a little mad at him...I dont know...I cant figure it out, so its just easier to avoid him, his existence, and just focus on ANYTHING else. Part of me feels bad for having such a natural negative reaction towards my ex....and the other part of me says "well if thats your natural reaction, go with it." \
I hate when I have these moments that I think about him or am forced to deal with him. ugh.
Anyway, on to bigger, longer, thicker, and harder things.... ;-)
So everything is okay for right now, just waiting for Sallie Mae Financial to confirm my student loan so money can come in hopefully before I DIE.
I got my bunny monsterz!!!!!!!! I named them Quintin and Foo-Foo-Cuddly-Poops
Pictures will happen dont worry. OH and Im thinking I might have a blog comic strip staring my bunny monsters. Yes I have too much time on my hands, but you never know, I may have just created the next icanhazcheezburger.com or Robot Chicken. So dont judge me.
OH and I highly recommend that you go out and buy "Punk goes Pop" buy both 1 and 2. SO FUN!
okay Im outtie bitches. love yer faces.

So not how I thought it would be...
Well I've been in San Diego for a week and a half...and have seen two people, and it wasnt the people I thought. I guess everyone has a busy life, I just thought I would see friends. I saw Erin, who was an old friend from many years ago...she hasnt changed a bit which was refreshing but it was so good to see her. I saw my friend Rick and his Boyfriend at Pride, which was good. They are very nice.
I dont know. I think the problem is that Im so used to seeing my friends every day, and I have to get used to the idea that maybe that isnt what everyone does.
Im gonna keep an open mind about it, because I know everyone is different, but I need to put on my big boy underpants, and just go somewhere...somewhere social, and just sit. Maybe Ill meet people, make friends. Since I spent like everyday from age 18 to age 28 hanging with friends at Starbucks...maybe Ill give that a whirl. haha.
My friend Sergi is home from Spain, Im so glad he is home safe and had a great summer. He makes me smile.
This blog has had no structure. I just realized its kind of a ramble......awesome.

Are you Gone Yet?
I have gotten this question alot. Mostly in jest but still, kinda seems like the longest goodbye ever....well okay except for Cher's farewell tour that's been going on since the 1800's.
Tomorrow Morning, around 10am...I will be leaving the 805, for the 619. I don't know how to feel. I will miss everyone, and be sad that they aren't nearby, but also excited for all the new possibilities that lay ahead for me.
I know I will be back pretty often since Im only 3 hours away, and I will see everyone, and my love for them will not change just as I hope their love for me will not change. Im not going to name names as to whom I will miss the most....only because I know alot of people and dont want anyone to think I wont miss them cuz they arent named. you bitches know I will miss you and ya'll know who you are.
:-)
I havent cried or been super depressed... yet. Ive seen Jessica, Jamie, and Amanda tear and get choked up... and i had to swallow that damn frog in my throat too... Im know I will cry if they all start crying... so I might as well be prepared for it now. hahaha.
Anyway, my facebook status was recently changed to a song lyric that was so appropriate that I couldnt believe it.
A few years ago when my dear friend Cathy moved to Oakland, she played a song for me and said "This is the song of your life. I cant explain it, but you are always the strongest image that appears in my head when I hear this song." She was right.
I wont include THE WHOLE SONG, cuz my laptop only has so much battery time left, but here are the parts that are the most about me, and what is on my facebook status:
"It's been two long years now, since the top of the world came crashing down, but Im gettin it back on the road now, and Im taking the long way....takin the long way around." <---a little over two years ago my world fell apart, I had a love that was stronger than anything I had ever felt, and he cheated on me, broke my heart, was cruel and heartless, and played stupid games...basically it was behavior deserving of beheading or public castration.....but alas, no one would do it. Anyway, that was when I decided that I refused to live my life in a small pond. It took me a very long time to get over him, and to figure out where I wanted my life to go, and even though I took the long way, Im finally moving on, literally, moving 3 hours away, to start my new life, while keeping that best parts and people of my old like close to my heart.
Anyway, next time I blog, it will be from San Diego. I may even include a video blog, if I can figure out how to get my camera and microphone to work simultaneously and record a video and how to post it. This could take a while.
Anyways, Im gonna finish my glass of plum loco wine, and sit by a fan c uz its hot as shit in this town right now.
Love to you all

Busy Busy Life.
Well kids, here's the scoop.
Life is crazy and hell and Im trying to stay focused. I have signed up for my summer session for college, more english and math...FUN. I have a bunch on new friends which is so cool and also so very sad because I made them right as I am preparing to leave. But the ones who were meant to stay friends, will.
I have a moving date. My furniture and belongings will be moving to San Diego on July 1st...which holy fuck is like two weeks away OMG. I, however, will be staying in the 805 until July 12th. Yay Dog Sitting. Some people ask "why the hell would you stay to hang with a dog? Here's why: A... Skylar is not just a dog, he is the biggest dumbest ball of white furry love you will ever meet, he is awesome, and B...that's $600 bucks I was NOT gonna turn down. I am not stupid. SO I have much to do in two weeks. I leave tomorrow morning for San Diego with my dear friend and future roommate Katie (A.K.A. Sizzerwinkie) to check out a few properties we found. Hopefully one of them will be my new home. Then I get to start packing. Well, mostly throwing things out....then packing. HA. I have too much crap and don't wanna lug it to San Diego. I want the fresh start that everyone raves about, and I intend to lighten the load and start fresh.
I am also still fighting to get student loans, ugh, f my life. Thanks to one of my newest and greatest friends Nicole (A.K.A. Nibbles) I am in love with a new website. Textsfromlastnight.com is amazing. its funny as hell and become the newest funny thing my friends and I do to each other on facebook. OH, Im on facebook, b-t-dubs.
....Im also on twitter, feel free to follow me. AndruMonster. grr argh. ha
So with planning the move, getting money, spending time with my friends, and helping my mom with stuff, I keep pretty busy. Did I mention I quit my job? heh it was a mess but totally worth it. I couldnt handle the bullshit there anymore, and decided, that since I was going to be moving ANYWAY...I said peace out.
Lets see what else.... OH yeah so Ive decided that even though most people who read this KNOW how my voice sounds and how I talk and how big a spazz I am, Im going to be less concerned about how well this blog is written. I figure, if you can carry a conversation with me, then reading this should be a breeze. This blog will no longer be well thought out and carefully put together, its going to be just like my brain, spazztic, A.D.D. and random.
There is a shirt at Marshall's my friend bought, and its amazing. it says "Gold Teef for ERRbody" You should find it, and buy it.
So now that that is cleared up, lets see what else should I mention....
My mom had a stroke on May 2nd. Very sad, very hard to deal with BUT she is expected to make a full recovery in time and is doing SO much better. I can't tell you how scary and heart breaking it was to see her so miserable in the hospital. Almost as heart breaking as is it to see my 49 yr old mother using a walker to move around the house. I keep telling myself that soon she will be back to her old self and life will be back to normal and only get better.
Im talking to boys. go me.
I'll be honest, there is more than one. Hear me out... they are all far away from me, and even though I like them all very much, I havent stopped talking to any of them yet because I havent met them. If I meet one of them and it gets serious then I will talk to the others and say "hey, sorry, it just wasnt meant to be lets be friends" But for the time being, I am just that...friends with them.
There is one however, who occupies almost my every thought. Even though I havent met him, I miss him....terribly. We are planning on meeting in the next month or so, and I am very VERY excited. He knows who he is, and he reads this blog. **hi kisses :-)**
I still have my bad ass super sexy Honda. Gettin better everyday, love her.
School kinda sucked a little this past semester. I think it was just that I started too early, focusing on school with the move and work and then what happened with my mommy, was just too much, and I couldnt focus on school, so I dropped my classes before I got a bad grade, and am retaking them both this summer. So for those of you who are gonna get all "wtf?!?!?!" and scowl and be all disapproving, SAVE IT. I dont wanna hear it. I would rather recognize that I was not able to devote myself properly to my two classes, drop them before I get a failing grade and negatively effect my GPA, and retake them when I can devote myself. So Starting July...uhh...July 6th I think, Im back in the class. So dont worry people, I'm not fucking anything up.
Well its 1am here, and Im being picked up by Sizzerwinkie McTofu in 8 and a half hours to head to san diego, I should probably pack and get some sleep.
For those of you who noticed, YES I am aware of my blatant lack of apostrophe's in words like "dont, couldnt, wouldnt, havent, and wasnt".... just FYI...I dont give a fuck. Im lazy, and he way I see it, CAN YOU READ IT? DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT SAYS?? then thats all that matters, shut yer face you grammar nazi. hahahhha
I love your freakin' faces off!!!

Resignation
Im about to quit my job and walk out. Im sick of the crap and sick of the bullshit and sick of the job itself. Im moving in 4 weeks, how much longer do I really even need this job? Im going get my loans and say PEACE OUT. I hate this place with a fiery passion.
Ive decided that I will come into work tomorrow, but NOT Monday. Im going to leave a message Saturday saying that I wont make it Monday, and Monday Im taking my co-signer to the bank and gettin my god damned loan. I will ask the loan officer "when will the check be in my hand?" and if its within 10 days or so...Im never stepping foot in this place again.
Thanks, I needed to vent.

So sleepy
Well, here I am, at 2:56am awake. dear god I am so tired but I have a drunk friend who is due to call me at any moment for a ride home, and if he doesn't call soon, I swear to god Im gonna tell him to call a cab.
I want to sleep. Thank god Im not going to work tomorrow otherwise I would be LIVID.
There is a good reason for my not going to work tomorrow though...my mommy is FINALLY getting out of the hospital. After a month long ordeal, recovering from her (thankfully) minor stroke, she is well, she is healing beautifully and she is being discharged tomorrow! SO I took the day off to be with my mommy. YAY.
Other than that, life is still hectic. Still moving to San Diego in a month. I can't believe its really happening. I cant believe Im finally moving away from Camarillo. Its so strange. Ive been here pretty much my whole life. Its gonna be scary but Im gonna do everything in my power to make it work and make it a successful life change.
WELL, Im gonna text that drunken fool and see if he is ready to go, cuz I am DONE waiting.
PEACE OUT, hope you all have restful nights.

Actual Work Conversation
(backstory: the owner's son Jake, whom I call Frodo, is this 19 yr old punk ass little spoiled bitch who is like 4' 10" tall, all of 105 lbs, who thinks he is the biggest bad ass on the planet....i dont like him.)
Im sitting at my desk, minding my own business responding to a text message...when Frodo the Hobbit walks up behind me...
Frodo: "Shouldn't you be working?"
Me: "Shouldn't you be in your tree making cookies?"
Frodo: "Are you calling me short?"
Me: "If I am, are you gonna try to steal my lucky charms?"
Frodo: "dick"
Me: "Hobbit"
Frodo walks away....
Me...loudly: "HAHAHA I WIN!!!"

Random Conversations
Im walking to my car and a lady who works on the other side of the building says "OH MY GOD...has anybody ever told you look like John Goodman?"
me: ...."has anybody ever told you YOU...look like John Goodman?"
Her: *blank stare*
Me: ... "ok bye" *walks away*
I don't understand this. Whether or not I look like John Goodman is irrelevant...I dont know whether to take is as an insult or not. John Goodman is a talented actor, but also a LARGE actor. So is she calling me fat? I dont know. It's like...would you walk up to a fat woman and ask her when she is due to deliver her baby? Hell no you wouldnt. cuz what if youre wrong!?!?!

I have a Question for you religious types...
Here's the deal, is it true that "god" or "jebus" or "the Quaker oats guy" or whoever it is you believe is the supreme being who rules all....*rolls eyes*
is it true that he/she/it will never give you more than you can handle? cuz I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, that's a big load of horse shit. Between school, a full time job, trying to get student loans, preparing to move, trying to have a birthday for myself (which basically isn't happening this year...oh well) derby, derby drama, emotional stresses, my health, some friends getting pregnant, or thinking they are pregnant, and my mom being in the hospital for the past 5 days... I think Ive taken about all I can handle and then some. I've stopped talking to guys cuz I cant handle it right now, and yet there is one guy that I can't stop thinking about...and i just dont think he wants to talk to me...which blows.
Ive got so much in my head and so much on my shoulders, I feel like Im gonna crack.
This is what will make me happy, in case any of you are able to help:
1. My mom to be back to normal and happy again.
2. $15000 student loan.
3. A bunny monster. How do I order one????
4. a release...someway to get this weight off my shoulders, and this swirling feeling in my chest to leave...
5. plane ticket to texas.
6. Plum Loco
7. Sushi
8. a super power (telekinesis preferred)
9. all my stuff to magically be packed and moved without my having to carry anything more than my laptop, and car keys.
10. a fucking VACATION.
So those of you who are able to...get to work on that. Thanks!

Community Project:
I think the rest of the country, as a whole, should go to the Westboro Baptist Church....and burn it to the ground, with their entire "flock" locked in the building.
Those freaks do not deserve to live.
Don't believe me? check out www.godhatesfags.com to see what kind of FILTH Im talking about.
Never mind that they are breeders of hatred, they are also incredibly STUPID. I mean really, your IQ must be below 35 to enter. They believe that 9-11 happened because gays in the US are allowed to exist and live lives like everyone else. They believe Heath Ledger is burning in hell because he PORTRAYED a homosexual in a film. I mean these people are truly unintelligent, moronic boobs.
If I ever, for any reason, am near them or their protests or their church...it's gonna get ugly. I will attack them, and I will light their church on fire.
So update on me real quick, I started school, am super busy, still trying to secure student loans so I can ease into school a little more and MOVE THE FUCK AWAY.
I need to move, I need to move NOW. I want to start my new life already.
Im still single...which blows cuz its probably never going to change, but whatever.
Anyway...off to find more student loan opportunities. *sigh* Im tired. I wanna go to San Diego, and Texas, and San Francisco, and....umm.... just anywhere but Camarillo and WORK.
peace out bitches...oh and btw thanks for the awesome participation in my blog, submitting pictures and ideas to GuacamoleJim@gmail.com...so glad I bother trying. *pfft*

Why I Hate Wealthy People:
Okay, so I have this job right, and most of my clients are wealthy people. Cool they keep the business running, whatever. I fucking hate these people. They are so fucking rude, demanding, and ridiculously unreasonable....because they have money. Its disgusting.
Here is what happened today...20 minutes after I clocked in...and why my day has been ruined and why my mood is shit.
Deborah Bennett-Carr (customer... who will be "DBC" or as I call her...DoucheBagCunt)
Me: "blah blah blah **generic phone greeting**"
DBC: "umm yeah so my AC wont work, so you need to be here in 20 minutes to fix it"
Me: "....ok well Im sorry but with the recent heat wave we are slammed and our schedule is very very full but I will see what I have available and if I can get someone there today..."
DBC: "..uhh NO you will be here is 20 minutes, Im not waiting all day."
Me: *eye brow raises* "Ma'am...we cannot do that, however, as I said, I will do everything I can to get someone out to you."
DBC: "I swear if you dont send someone here immediately.."
Me: *done* "YOU'LL WHAT?!?!!? ......*silence*.... yeah I didnt think so..please hold."
This is where I mutter something about her being a stupid cunt who should get hit by a bus....I took a few deep breathes, and went back to finding a spot on my dispatch schedule where I can send someone out to the fucktard-cunts house.
Me: *takes off hold* "Ma'am, i was able to move a few calls around to make room for your call (lies...i didnt do shit for her) and I can offer your 24 hour service, I can have a technician at your home tomorrow morning around 9am"
DBC: ".....uh thats not acceptable...I want someone now."
Me: "That's just not possible. Tomorrow around 9am is what we can do for you."
DBC: " but.....*sigh* (in the most desperate 'my baby is in that burning house' kind of voice) I HAVE DOGS!!!
Me: "....and?"
DBC: "..well...ITS HOT"
Me: "....ok?"
DBC: "well what if they die how are you gonna feel?"
Me: "...I would be sorry for your loss and ask you if you would like me to reschedule for a better time to fix the AC."
DBC: "Heartless."
Me: "No Ma'am, Honest. Don't ask the question if you don't want the honest answer. But I refuse to waste any more time playing these games with you, am I booking this call for tomorrow morning for you or not?"
DBC: "Fine, but what am I supposed to do about my dogs?"
Me: "......HOSE THEM OFF...THEY'RE DOGS FOR CHRISTS SAKE!!! THEY WILL LIVE!!!!"
*click*
Seriously...you think your fucking dogs are so important that I have run my business around YOUR DOGS....FUCK YOU AND YOUR FUCKING RAGGEDY DOGS!!!!
GRRRRRRR Why do these people think it is acceptable to talk so other people this way? Who raised these fucking socially inept cunt rags!?!?!??!?!?!?!
I swear to god, Im gonna lose my freaking mind if I continue in customer service.
Customers are NOT ALWAYS RIGHT. REMEMBER THAT.
I need to find a job where I can work from home and not have to deal with random customers. EVER. Cuz Im gonna kill someone.
Fuck my clients. Fuck them with something hard and sand-papery.
*sigh*...I just need to secure a student loan or two...and I can kiss this bullshit goodbye.
Here is what happened today...20 minutes after I clocked in...and why my day has been ruined and why my mood is shit.
Deborah Bennett-Carr (customer... who will be "DBC" or as I call her...DoucheBagCunt)
Me: "blah blah blah **generic phone greeting**"
DBC: "umm yeah so my AC wont work, so you need to be here in 20 minutes to fix it"
Me: "....ok well Im sorry but with the recent heat wave we are slammed and our schedule is very very full but I will see what I have available and if I can get someone there today..."
DBC: "..uhh NO you will be here is 20 minutes, Im not waiting all day."
Me: *eye brow raises* "Ma'am...we cannot do that, however, as I said, I will do everything I can to get someone out to you."
DBC: "I swear if you dont send someone here immediately.."
Me: *done* "YOU'LL WHAT?!?!!? ......*silence*.... yeah I didnt think so..please hold."
This is where I mutter something about her being a stupid cunt who should get hit by a bus....I took a few deep breathes, and went back to finding a spot on my dispatch schedule where I can send someone out to the fucktard-cunts house.
Me: *takes off hold* "Ma'am, i was able to move a few calls around to make room for your call (lies...i didnt do shit for her) and I can offer your 24 hour service, I can have a technician at your home tomorrow morning around 9am"
DBC: ".....uh thats not acceptable...I want someone now."
Me: "That's just not possible. Tomorrow around 9am is what we can do for you."
DBC: " but.....*sigh* (in the most desperate 'my baby is in that burning house' kind of voice) I HAVE DOGS!!!
Me: "....and?"
DBC: "..well...ITS HOT"
Me: "....ok?"
DBC: "well what if they die how are you gonna feel?"
Me: "...I would be sorry for your loss and ask you if you would like me to reschedule for a better time to fix the AC."
DBC: "Heartless."
Me: "No Ma'am, Honest. Don't ask the question if you don't want the honest answer. But I refuse to waste any more time playing these games with you, am I booking this call for tomorrow morning for you or not?"
DBC: "Fine, but what am I supposed to do about my dogs?"
Me: "......HOSE THEM OFF...THEY'RE DOGS FOR CHRISTS SAKE!!! THEY WILL LIVE!!!!"
*click*
Seriously...you think your fucking dogs are so important that I have run my business around YOUR DOGS....FUCK YOU AND YOUR FUCKING RAGGEDY DOGS!!!!
GRRRRRRR Why do these people think it is acceptable to talk so other people this way? Who raised these fucking socially inept cunt rags!?!?!??!?!?!?!
I swear to god, Im gonna lose my freaking mind if I continue in customer service.

Andru, have you ever noticed that sometimes the most fucked up stuff happens for no reason, but no matter how jacked up it is, its still kinda funny?
~ Phyllis
Dear Phyllis... yes, and I dont care what anybody says, it can sometimes be fuckin funny shit! Like the time I was driving and got the sweetest smell of BBQ and was hungry and mouth watering, and when I turned my head was I driving past a restaurant or someones backyard bbq? NO I was in front of a MORTUARY.
Regardless, I went to Woodranch in Agoura on my lunch break later that day and got my BBQ chicken salad...because fucked up or not, that cadaver in the crematorium made me hungry.
Best Wishes:
Andru

HAPPY RAYLENE?!!?!?!?!?!?
hahaha My dear friend Raylene....whom I refer to as "Trash".. said she refused to click my ads or visit my blog because I havent updated or posted in 5 days. WELL HERE BITCH. :-)
I have been very busy, post GED, getting things in order. I PASSED MY GED WOO WOO!!! So not onto College, my enrollment adviser Ruzanna is busting her ass making sure I get into the April 27th term, and I am on her about my financial aid. I am supposed to be hearing from the Financial aid specialist this afternoon. I also need to start researching grants. *sigh* so much to do so little time. I also need to find private loans too for school... I really hope I can pull all this off.
Not a whole lot else is going on right now for me anyway. I am both very happy and very sad to report that my friend Steve is moving back to Camarillo. I am happy because I missed Steve dearly...but sad because it took him getting laid off after almost 10 yrs of hard work and dedication on his part. BUT He is a tough cookie and he will be fine and we, as a group of friends, are fiercely supportive and encouraging of each other, so he has an amazing support system behind him.
With my birthday coming up, I am trying to decide how I want to spend the last birthday of my 20's....also my next birthday wont be in the 805...so its kind of a big deal. I want it to be BIG...like invite my harem (my derby girls), all my friends, friends from LA, friends from SD, family...just everyone I can get...and have a big love fest!! No not an orgy...pervs A big party there is no drama, no hate, no bullshit, just good people, good food, and a shared love and adoration...of ME. hahaha.
I need to talk to people, see whats up as far as where to have it, who can do what etc etc. I hate having to plan my own birthday...just b-t-dubs...but lets face it, if I don't, who will? So here I go.

Their LIES NEVER END
I swear to god, Im gonna start assassinating these people!
Human Rights Campaign Exposes National Organization for Marriage’s Fake Ad for Fake Problems
Right-wing group does not have truth on its side, so it hires actors to spew lies; Audition reel uncovered online
4/8/2009
WASHINGTON –The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization, released a statement and a factual rebuttal today on a television spot produced by the National Organization for Marriage and set to run on CNN, the Fox News Channel, and MSNBC in the coming days. In the ad, actors make disproven claims about marriage for lesbian and gay couples.
“What’s next for the National Organization for Marriage? Will they hire legendary infomercial pitchman Ron Popeil to hawk their phony agenda?” said Human Rights Campaign Spokesman Brad Luna. “This ad is full of outrageous falsehoods—and they don’t even come out of the mouths of real people.”
According to sources, the phony ad is set to run eight times per day in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and California. The ad can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AzLrn5JVIo
The National Organization for Marriage hired actors to peddle their lies about marriage for lesbian and gay couples. The audition reels can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRjVDZxho54 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwqNFBt33o4
The National Organization for Marriage and Maggie Gallagher is featured on the interactive wall of EndtheLies.org, a new HRC action-based website launched to confront the lies and distortions repeatedly used to defeat LGBT equality measures. National Organization for Marriage was added to the wall after the group created an anti- marriage equality radio ad that played in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
“Again and again, opponents of equality have claimed one shallow victory after another by telling lies about who we are as individuals, as loving couples and as families. These lies must be called out for what they are every time the right-wing seeks to derail our progress by spreading distortions and inciting fear mongering,” continued Luna.
EndtheLies.org’s interactive wall features videos, audio, pictures, and quotes, calling out those who maliciously use lies and misinformation to interfere with the LGBT community’s path to equality. By clicking on the panels of the wall, users can access more information about those highlighted, watch videos, add comments on multimedia discussion boards, and learn how to take action to counteract their misdeeds.
Along with the National Organization for Marriage, the wall currently features the American Family Association (AFA), the elders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern, and Utah State Senator Chris Buttars, Proposition 8 lawyer Ken Starr, right-wing media personality Rush Limbaugh, and GOP Chairman Michael Steele. Users can also nominate their own candidates for inclusion on the wall.
Background Ad Rebuttal
“The Real Truth Behind the Fake Ad”
The general argument of the ad is that the push for marriage equality isn’t just about rights for same-sex couples, it’s about imposing contrary values on people of faith. The examples they cite in the ad are:
(1) A California doctor who must choose between her faith and her job
(2) A member of New Jersey church group which is punished by the state because they can’t support same-sex marriage
(3) A Massachusetts parent who stands by helpless while the state teaches her son that gay marriage is okay
The facts indicate that (1) refers to the Benitez decision in California, determining that a doctor cannot violate California anti-discrimination law by refusing to treat a lesbian based on religious belief, (2) refers to the Ocean Grove, New Jersey Methodist pavilion that was open to the general public for events but refused access for civil union ceremonies (and was fined by the state for doing so) and (3) refers to the Parker decision in Massachusetts, where parents unsuccessfully sought to end public school discussions of family diversity, including of same-sex couples.
All three examples involve religious people who enter the public sphere, but don’t want to abide by the general non-discriminatory rules everyone else does. Both (1) and (2) are really about state laws against sexual orientation discrimination, rather than specifically about marriage. And (3) is about two pairs of religious parents trying to impose their beliefs on all children in public schools.
The real facts of each case are:
The California doctor entered a profession that promises to “first, do no harm” and the law requires her to treat a patient in need – gay or straight, Christian or Muslim – regardless of her religious beliefs. The law does not, and cannot, dictate her faith – it can only insist that she follow her oath as a medical professional.
* The New Jersey church group runs, and profits from, a beachside pavilion that it rents out to the general public for all manner of occasions –concerts, debates and even Civil War reenactments— but balks at permitting couples to hold civil union ceremonies there. The law does not challenge the church organization’s beliefs about homosexuality – it merely requires that a pavilion that had been open to all for years comply with laws protecting everyone from discrimination, including gays and lesbians.
* The Massachusetts parent disagrees with an aspect of her son’s public education, a discussion of the many different kinds of families he will likely encounter in life, including gay and lesbian couples. The law does not stop her from disagreeing, from teaching him consistently with her differing beliefs at home, or even educating her child in a setting that is more in line with her faith traditions. But it does not allow any one parent to dictate the curriculum for all students based on her family’s religious traditions.
Andru's Two Cents: I hate these lying bigots. I HOPE THEY ALL DIE PAINFUL HORRIBLE DEATHS.

Done.
Dating: Why do I even bother? it never works. He only wants me in the beginning, then he is no longer interested. They never are. the ONE who was really interested, cheated on me after 14 months, and didnt even think our relationship was worth processing or mourning the loss..nope he just jumped onto the next redheaded fat ass he could find and never bothered to deal with it. yeah, 14 months, his first love, his first bf, his first everything, and yet...he didnt care enough or think of enough of our love or of me to process his loss...thanks. Every other one after said everything right, then just faded away...less and less talking, less texting, less nice things to say, less cute names, less time spent together, less "yeah lets hang out".... Im fucking sick of it. Im sick of the games and Im sick of the fucking asshole men who want you then change their minds. Fuck you.
why do i bother? you're all the same. Im just a passing amusement to you. just go away.

Sympathy for the Devil
I have this theory. So my understanding about Satan was that he was originally the like..number 1 Angel, the most beautiful, the most trusted...god's right hand man. So then he got a big head, and decided it wasn't fair that god runs things alone...so he got a few followers, and god busts his chops and gives him cloven hooves and casts him down to hell.
I don't think so. I think maybe Satan wasnt trying to take over, maybe he wanted an "America's next Top Model" situation... he wanted to be Miss Jay, sittin up there nest to Tyra, and HELPING to run things. He just wanted to be on the judges panel. But his fatal mistake was that God...is not Tyra Banks....he's Oprah, bitch, and Oprah dont share the spotlight.
Maybe Satan wasnt trying to STEAL the spotlight, maybe he just wanted to share in it.
I'm going to hell now, aren't I? ;-) haha

I'll Try
I am not a child now.
I can take care of myself.
I mustn't let them down now.
I mustn't let them see me cry.
I'm fine... I'm fine.
I'm to tired to listen.
I'm to old to believe.
All these childish stories.
There is no such thing as faith & trust & pixie dust.
I try but its so hard to believe.
I try but I can't see what you see.
My whole world is changing,
I don't know where to turn.
I can't leave you waiting,
But I can't stay and watch this city burn.
I try and try to understand the distance in between,
The love I feel, the things I fear, and every single dream...
I can finally see it,
but do I have to believe all those precious stories?
All the world is made of faith and trust and pixie dust?
So I'll try cause I finally believe.
I'll try cause I might see what you see.
I'll try...

Back Alley Rod & Custom
I love me some Back Alley Rod.....hahahhaa
My friend Kenny owns a Hot Rod shop, called Back Alley Rod & Custom in Camarillo, CA where he restores and rebuild old classic cars, as well as does custom work for newer cars. I have known Kenny for like....11 years now...and he is fucking awesome!
So I brought my Accord to his shop and asked if there was anything he could do to move the drivers seat back a little bit to provide me with a little more leg room. Wouldn't ya know it...HE COULD! So Im here at his shop as we speak, and he is cutting and welding steel into the seat frame so he can remount the seat in the car, giving me more leg room. :-) Now some of you may not know, I am a big boy. Not only am I a total chunky butt, I am also tall. I am like 6'2"...so height + girth = difficult car shopping. I have managed to be just fine for all these years, while owning and driving surprisingly small cars! I have also had larger cars but mostly small...I've had as far as larger cars: Ford Thunderbird, Chevy Camaro, Plymouth Breeze...not all LARGE cars but big none the less and roomy, at least for me behind the wheel...the real shock is that I have also had small cars: Pontiac Sunfire Coupe, a 92 Honda Accord Coupe, Toyota Celica, Honda CRX, and a Hyundai Elantra. My 04 Accord (the current G-Ride) is compact and sporty, but surprisingly large once you are up close to it, mostly in length but its good in width too... so when I bought it it was nice that I had a little more extension for my legs that my Elantra...plus my Honda is an Automatic, and my last few cars have been Stick Shifts...so there is even less effort on the part of my arthritic right hip, not having to move as much. But After driving a few Volkswagen while car shopping, I got spoiled with the amazing seats and cabin of the new Jetta. The seat goes so far back I could barely reach the pedals. It was quite the treat to drive. So I decide that if Kenny can give me more leg room in my already practically perfect vehicle, then I would be all kinds of happy. So Here I am, in his shop with a handful of hetero-mechanic types, sitting around, talking, and smoking having a good ole' time... and Kenny making pretty sparks with my seat. YES Im that big a dork. My baby is having surgery, and Im a proud papa bear cuz my little honda is taking it like a champ.
Alot of the guys here are old friends whom I used to hang out with all the time, and its cool seeing them, though they are all sitting around talking about beer and boobs and trucks and football and shit, and Im on the computer cuz really? As much as I know I am cool with them and vice versa, we have nothing in common anymore. One of them is Jim, he moved away long ago to northern california (lucky bastard) but he came own for some party this weekend...and I have to say, I thought he was cute back in the day, but now that he is 30 and has been doing construction for the past 7 years, his shoulders got all beefy and arms are all big...he looks DAMN good. But I dare not tell him or any of them that cuz yeah...can't have any of them gettin all "don't hit on us" cuz I always told them, even back in the day "What the fuck makes you think I would hit on YOU?!?!" and it was funny to watch their pride and ego get CRUSHED MERCILESSLY....but also kinda sad cuz they ARE cool guys, and surprisingly tolerant. If you saw them on the street you wouldn't think they would not only be cool with gay people, but had gay friends.
Well they are talking about fucking chicks back in high school...and how they compare to their NOW wives whom they have children with...on that note, Im gonna go smoke. Piece out bitches!!!! I love your faces!!!

My friend Kenny owns a Hot Rod shop, called Back Alley Rod & Custom in Camarillo, CA where he restores and rebuild old classic cars, as well as does custom work for newer cars. I have known Kenny for like....11 years now...and he is fucking awesome!
So I brought my Accord to his shop and asked if there was anything he could do to move the drivers seat back a little bit to provide me with a little more leg room. Wouldn't ya know it...HE COULD! So Im here at his shop as we speak, and he is cutting and welding steel into the seat frame so he can remount the seat in the car, giving me more leg room. :-) Now some of you may not know, I am a big boy. Not only am I a total chunky butt, I am also tall. I am like 6'2"...so height + girth = difficult car shopping. I have managed to be just fine for all these years, while owning and driving surprisingly small cars! I have also had larger cars but mostly small...I've had as far as larger cars: Ford Thunderbird, Chevy Camaro, Plymouth Breeze...not all LARGE cars but big none the less and roomy, at least for me behind the wheel...the real shock is that I have also had small cars: Pontiac Sunfire Coupe, a 92 Honda Accord Coupe, Toyota Celica, Honda CRX, and a Hyundai Elantra. My 04 Accord (the current G-Ride) is compact and sporty, but surprisingly large once you are up close to it, mostly in length but its good in width too... so when I bought it it was nice that I had a little more extension for my legs that my Elantra...plus my Honda is an Automatic, and my last few cars have been Stick Shifts...so there is even less effort on the part of my arthritic right hip, not having to move as much. But After driving a few Volkswagen while car shopping, I got spoiled with the amazing seats and cabin of the new Jetta. The seat goes so far back I could barely reach the pedals. It was quite the treat to drive. So I decide that if Kenny can give me more leg room in my already practically perfect vehicle, then I would be all kinds of happy. So Here I am, in his shop with a handful of hetero-mechanic types, sitting around, talking, and smoking having a good ole' time... and Kenny making pretty sparks with my seat. YES Im that big a dork. My baby is having surgery, and Im a proud papa bear cuz my little honda is taking it like a champ.

Oy Vay
Ugh what a week this has been. Drama Drama Drama.
The audacity of some people...its ridiculous. I mean , I always knew there was something off...but DAMN. The manipulation, the lies, the hissy fit and scene that was made was out of control. Now the fraud and the underhanded selfishness, willing to ruin someone else's life, to get what you want...something trivial even! You disgust me.
I am shocked, and yet, so overwhelmingly angry at the actions of some people, that I am just done with it. I don't like them, and don't want to know them anymore. Thankfully, I don't have to. HA!!!
I have decided that I have nothing to be ashamed of. I shower daily, I wear cool clothes, I drive a pretty hot car, I pay my own bills, and I am a good person, with a nice smile, and killer blue eyes. Im also funny as shit, and do NOT live a boring life...so what if Im not perfect...who cares we all have our demons... so fuck it...why hide.
For those of you who don't know...I am not a high school graduate. I went to High School for 4 years, but my fatal mistake..was getting a car, and a boyfriend, 4 months before graduation...I ditched alot, in my car, to go hang out with my 21 yr old boyfriend...then I turned 18 and they couldnt hold me as tightly, so I would just leave school to go see my boyfriend... DUMB...cuz I fell back on my work, and instead of graduating, I fell a few credits short... SO I never went back, shortly afterward, I had to fend for myself so I never really went back to finish. Frankly I never really had to worry about it until I got the wild hair up my ass to go to college. SO I put that off even further...but will no longer be doing that, as any of you who have read previous blogs should already know. Moving to go to School, and start over fresh, and be "the new guy." Well, all this has led me to the following BIG BIG NEWS.... on April 1st....IM TAKING THE G.E.D. !!!!! and I am so nervous about it that I don't know if I'm gonna shit, vomit, or have a nose bleed. I know I need to brush up on history, but MATH IS MY CRIPPLING WEAKNESS. Real life math is no problem, ya know, figuring out budgets, money, things like that, no problem, but when its n = some fraction x some other fraction that consists of two more letters and a number ...ya know....that shit...I know nothing about it. My friends Amanda and Jamie are apparently VERY good with Math...so I have help. I bought a book to help prep for the test too...I think I got the wrong book though. I got the study prep book for California High School Proficiency Exam...which I think is different from the GED. I dunno, but I figure math is universal so I can still use it.
So wish me luck!!!! Cuz If I pass, then I'm enrolling at DeVry and starting with DeVry April 27th. Im excited. I need to get student loans and stuff too..anyone who wants to help me with that who knows more about it than I do I would LOVE to hear from you. I have a few friends I can talk to that I know for sure will have info: Holly, Lisa, Katie, Jill...I have peeps, but damnit Im more than happy to have more...SO please let me know if you know anything maybe that I dont know about financial aid and student loans...specifically how to get MORE money. Sounds greedy but its part of a plan Im trying to put together.
Lets see what else is up.... I still like Mike. :-) alot. Umm...friendships are still changing and fading, while others grow stronger...
OH this weekend Im going to See Missy Higgins and Justin Nozuka live at the Orphium Theater in LA. EXCITED!!!!!!!
I think that about covers it...OH I need money. But thats nothing new. OK see ya bitches.

Improvement
I just read something that changed my mood completely. My mood ring went from ( as seen on my previous post today) a filthy grown to a slightly calmer greenish...
It's going to sound emo but for years, I have told either my ex, or certain friends I have opened up to...that my soul and my heart feel cracked. Ya know, a little bit lilo & stitch..."broken but still good"....
Well I was thinking about this a few minutes ago when I got an email from my beloved Jessica...my honey bunny, my roommate, my friend, my boo....and at the very end it said this:
"Blessed are the cracked, for they are the ones who let in the light."
:-)

:-)
There's only so much of me to go around...
I'm stretched as thin as can be. Obviously that is a metaphorical statement as there is nothing thin about me with the exception of my hair...thank you old age.
Between planning to move, trying to meet "someone special" (if that person even exists at this point), Trying to remain sane, and roller derby, the next two or three months are going to full of traveling. I only have so much energy, and I think I'm gonna ware myself out. Plus I'm going to make the effort to go out more and be more social and meet new people and try once again (hopefully not in vain) to give the gays another chance and hit some gay events. A new friend of mine via facebook organizes a gay mens/bearish cub group party thing called Kuma in Pomona...I guess its once a month...I dont know, but Im going to the next one. Im going to try to release my inhibitions and just have fun, and not give a fuck what anyone thinks about it.
Travel:
March: L.A. to see Missy Higgins & Justin Nozuka
San Diego to check out rental properties and check out the area and try to get a lay out of my new home. Also, hoping to visit with Mike and Rick. I should probably confirm with them, otherwise why bother getting my hopes up.
April: Gay Day at the Southern Renaissance Fair. Never been, sound fun, looking to get swash-buckled or Pillage some cute guys village :-)
Going to the Getty Museum for my friends birthday.
May: End of May, 3 day weekend up to San Francisco for a day, then up to Humboldt for a Derby bout we're playing in the next day, then drive home.
....other than that, I'm hoping to spend some weekends in S.D. apartment/house hunting, making friends, etc etc...and then moving in July.
Busy Busy Busy. OH and somewhere in that mix I need to get my G.E.D., enroll at DeVry, and get student loans set up so I can buy school supplies and prepare to move.
And YES its a lot to do, and some people may think that I should give myself more time, but I don't want to. I Don't want to take anymore time than absolutely necessary. I have wasted the past 10 years learning how to survive, and going a whole lotta NO WHERE in Ventura County, a place I am starting to loathe by the way. I just want out. I'm sure I will miss it when I'm gone but right now, I kinda...fucking hate it. I'm sick of it.
I feel like my life has gone head first into a period of transition and instead of waiting it out and surveying the aftermath, Im grabbing the reigns and riding this transition. I am going to have a say in this transition damnit.
I remember a prayer or an AA chant or something that said "Give me the strength to change the things I can change, and the knowledge to recognize the things I cannot change"...or something like that...anyway I am going to do everything I can to change the thing I need changed. As for the things that are changing that I have no control over...I kinda don't care anymore. There has been some drama with a few friends of mine, and I wont go into it cuz Im not putting that out on blast, BUT its fucking retarded, and i think the people involved are making a bigger deal out of it than it needs to be because its just dumb... but it doesn't involve me, and I intend to keep it that way...and if I get dragged into it...oh you will NOT be happy, cuz I will not have anything nice to say about it. I have other friendships that are fading, we are growing apart...sometimes I think I'm growing and they arent, sometimes I think they are sick of me and want new things, a feeling I can totally understand...SO I take it for what it is. I'm not going to hold on to stuff just because Im used to it. Im kinda done. Im really fucking tired of the same shit different day life. Im fucking tired of being expected to behave or act or think a certain way because it's whats expected of me or because its how I have always been...well ya know what, sometimes the way you have always been is fucking shitty now. I'm tired of NOT changing, Im tired of judgment from those who DON'T want to change, and I'm tired of being studied, or having people think they have to observe me to see if they can talk to me. Fuck off. If you cant just talk to me, especially if we are friends, then I don't wanna know what your problem is, and I don't care. Cry to someone else.
Im tired of this half assed behavior from people. Its not everyone, but some of them are on my nerves. If you have a problem, talk to me, if you are mad, explain it to me, if you are happy, share it with me, if you have feelings for me, fucking tell me!! don't be a pussy, if you aren't interested in me, say so! So I can stop hoping for something thats not possible. Im You have concerns, questions, then MAN UP AND TALK TO ME. I dont give a shit, as long as we approach it calmly like adults Im fine, if its gonna be snide comments, drama, attitude, then Im gonna tell you to fuck yourself and stop talking to me, cuz Im not something to be observed, Im not some stupid little child for you to talk down to. I've met my quota of taking peoples shit.
Now I feel better. :-)

Jokes...not for the politically correct crowd.
I have heard alot of jokes over the years, and here are some of the best...at least the best in my mind cuz I laughed the hardest. OH and B-T-dubs, I am NOT taking credit for any of these jokes.
BE ADVISED: The following jokes are offensive, racist, sexist, anti gay/jew/blonde etc etc. Please remember, satire is needed. Please have a sense of humor and enough brain capacity to remember that I may not necessarily believe in the words in these jokes, but i found them funny...because I have a sense of humor. If you think they are NOT funny and get all butt hurt and "boo-boo kitty face" about them...spare the hate mail. Cuz I'll destroy you in every way possible.
Summary....pull your head out of your ass and laugh.
Here we go:
What do you say to a black man in a 3-piece suit? "Will the Defendant please rise."
(you can replace "black man" with "Chris Brown" if you wish.)
What's the difference between black folks, and tires? Tires don't sing "amazing Grace" when you put chains on them.
What do you call a smart blonde? A Golden Retriever.
What's a Jew's biggest dilemma? Free Pork
Why did Hitler kill himself? He saw his gas bill.
What's the difference between a Catholic Priest and Acne? Acne will wait until the boy is at LEAST 14 yrs old before it fucks his face.
What's fun for 9 out of 10 people? Gang Rape.
What do you call a bloody tampon in warm water? Vampire's Teabag.
What do you say to a woman with 2 black eyes? Nothin, ya done told her twice.
How do you castrate a redneck? Kick his sister in the jaw.
What does the 12 yr old virgin from Arkansas say when she loses her virginity? "get off me Pa, yer smashin my smokes!"
What's the difference between "choose" and "Select"? Select is when you make a choice, choose are what mexicans wear on their feet.
What happened to the black woman who had an abortion? She got a check in the mail from Crime Stoppers.
What's the difference between a fag and a rooster? Rooster says "Cock-a-doodle dooooo!!" and a fag says "Any Cock'll Doooooo!!!"
How do you blind fold an asian? Dental Floss.
What do you name a dog with no hind legs and metal balls? "Sparky"
What do you name a dog with one eye, three legs and no teeth? "Lucky"

FML
FML = Fuck My Life
I dont know if these stories are real...I've hear they are total crap, but they are funny as shit so I dont care!!
"Today, there was a story called "Looking Good" about fashion in school that ran in the local newspaper. On the front page of that section it featured a picture of my class. I was photoshopped out. FML"

Too Much Information:
yeah like that ever stopped me. pfft.
So after years of dealing with pain, ugliness and embarrassment, I think I have figured out what may actually be wrong with my skin! THERE IS A NAME FOR IT!!!! I will spare you the pictures I have found cuz they are beyond gross and disgusting...and My case isnt NEARLY as severe as the ones photographed.
Since I am bo red at work, I decided to let you all know that Im NOT just crazy and unclean, there is something legitimately wrong with my skin. HA
HIDRADENITIS SUPPURATIVA
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is an uncommon chronic inflammatory skin condition.
It effects inverse areas of the body, top of inner thighs, bottom, genitals, armpits, under the breasts in women and less commonly the stomach, hair line and behind the ears.
The symptoms of Hidradenitis Suppurativa vary greatly, it can be as slight as black heads and pimples or as serious as large draining lesions, growing to the size of golf balls.
It has been suggested that HS may not be as rare as believed, but that people are hesitant to come forward through shame and embarrassment. Also the figures are low through lack of accurate diagnosis.
Very little research has been done into Hidradenitis Suppurativa. It is known as an 'orphan' illness, which means, because it is considered rare there are no pharmaceutical companies that have taken up the challenge to find a decent treatment or cure. What we do know however, is that it is caused by the tendency of the appocrine hair follicle to become blocked. The question now is why?
HS has been linked with auto immune disorders, it also has been found to have a genetic link. HS is more common in women, and seems to be effected by the hormones, although no exact pattern has emerged. As with many skin disorders, HS symptoms are increased by stress.
The three clinical stages of Hidradenitis Suppurativa :
* Stage 1: Single or multiple abscesses form, without sinus tracts and cicatrization (scar formation)
* Stage 2: Recurrent abscesses form, with tract formation and cicatrization. There may be single or multiple widely separated lesions.
* Stage 3: Diffuse or near-diffuse involvement or multiple interconnected tracts and abscesses are observed across the entire area
It has been reported that as many as 80% of HS sufferers are diagnosed as clinically depressed. Depression is common amongst people who have to live in chronic pain. It can be treated with medication, but to cure the depression completely the reason for the depression must be removed. As there is no known cure for HS, this is not possible.
Diagnosis of Hidradenitis Suppurativa
If you have more than three boils in any one year, you should visit your Medical Practitioner.
Boils can be a symptom of many illnesses and your doctor should test you for these. The diagnosis of Hidradenitis Suppurativa generally comes from the dermatologist, and is made from observing the areas where the boil-like lesion are, and the common presence of black heads and scarring.
It is easily diagnosed if the dermatologist is familiar with the skin disorder.
Medical Treatments for Hidradenitis Suppurativa
There is not a single treatment that has been developed specifically for Hidradenitis. Therefore active involvement in choosing treatment and research is advisable. What may work for one patient, may be detrimental to another.
Although HS is not Acne, the symptoms are sometimes similar and Dermatologists are keen to suggest Acne treatments, which have been proved to be ill-effective.
Here is a list of the current treatments that may be offered to HS patients:
* Antibiotics, (commonly tetracyclines) long term as a preventive measure, and short term (typically Ciprofloxicillin) for secondary infections. Many of these antibiotics react badly with sunlight and alcohol, and can cause nausea and bowel problems.
* High-dose systemic steroids for their inflammatory effect.
* Birth control Pills, as a measure to balance hormones.
* Retinoids have been used with limited results.
Surgical treatments for Hidradenitis Suppurativa
* Stage 1: May need incision and drainage
* Stage 2: recurring lesions can be surgically removed along with any connecting tracts. Secondary healing is found to be most effective. There is a 50% chance of reoccurrence.
* Stage 3: As the disease progresses, skin grafts and plastic surgery may be needed because of poor healing.
Radiotherapy is a treatment that is starting to be used again for HS.
A recent study by Frochlich et al in Germany reported complete relief in 38% of patients, 40% dramatically improved and 2% had no effect. There were no reported complications, associated with the radiation.
So after years of dealing with pain, ugliness and embarrassment, I think I have figured out what may actually be wrong with my skin! THERE IS A NAME FOR IT!!!! I will spare you the pictures I have found cuz they are beyond gross and disgusting...and My case isnt NEARLY as severe as the ones photographed.
Since I am bo red at work, I decided to let you all know that Im NOT just crazy and unclean, there is something legitimately wrong with my skin. HA
HIDRADENITIS SUPPURATIVA
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is an uncommon chronic inflammatory skin condition.
It effects inverse areas of the body, top of inner thighs, bottom, genitals, armpits, under the breasts in women and less commonly the stomach, hair line and behind the ears.
The symptoms of Hidradenitis Suppurativa vary greatly, it can be as slight as black heads and pimples or as serious as large draining lesions, growing to the size of golf balls.
It has been suggested that HS may not be as rare as believed, but that people are hesitant to come forward through shame and embarrassment. Also the figures are low through lack of accurate diagnosis.
Very little research has been done into Hidradenitis Suppurativa. It is known as an 'orphan' illness, which means, because it is considered rare there are no pharmaceutical companies that have taken up the challenge to find a decent treatment or cure. What we do know however, is that it is caused by the tendency of the appocrine hair follicle to become blocked. The question now is why?

its BAAAAAAAACK!!!! Bring it on H8RS!!
Tomorrow, Prop 8 goes up for debate. Frankly I think that the whole thing is ridiculous. Bigotry is EVERY form should illegal. the end.
I got this info from US News:
A majority of California voters may have supported Proposition 8, the constitutional amendment passed four months ago that eliminated the rights of same-sex couples to marry. But as the state Supreme Court prepares to hear oral arguments on a series of legal challenges to the law tomorrow, more and more members of the state's political establishment continue to take a public stand against it—raising questions, in some quarters, about why so many politicians here have opted to openly break with a majority of voters.
This week, both houses of the state Legislature and the state's attorney general, Jerry Brown, roundly condemned the law and asked the Supreme Court to overturn it. The state's governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, both of its U.S. senators, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, and its highest-ranking congresswoman, Nancy Pelosi, have all made statements since the election denouncing the law. Proposition 8, which defines marriage as only between a man and a woman, passed in November with 52 percent of the vote.
In a party-line vote on Monday, the Democrat-controlled state Legislature took a legal stand against the law, passing a nonbinding resolution declaring that voters alone did not have the right to amend the Constitution in this case. The resolution asserts that Prop. 8, because it strips a minority group of a constitutionally protected right by mere majority vote, is an improper revision of the Constitution. Since a revision requires a two-thirds vote of the state Legislature before it can appear on the ballot—something Proposition 8 never got—lawmakers have asked the court to render the law invalid.
"We're talking about a radical revision to our Constitution," says Mark Leno, an openly gay state senator from San Francisco who has sponsored several bills passed by lawmakers in the past few years that would have legalized same-sex marriage, only to see Schwarzenegger veto them. "Do we have a constitutional democracy in California, or do we have mob rule, where a majority of Californians can change the Constitution at any time?"
Brown, whose office argued against the legalization of same-sex marriage last year when the Supreme Court first heard arguments on the subject, is also urging the court to invalidate Proposition 8. "The case touches the heart of our democracy," Brown said in a statement yesterday, comparing the initiative to a law passed in 1964 by 65 percent of voters that would have legalized racial discrimination in the selling or renting of housing. The California Supreme Court ultimately struck down that proposition. "As California's attorney general," Brown said, "I believe the court should strike down Proposition 8 for remarkably similar reasons—because it unconstitutionally discriminates against same-sex couples and deprives them of the fundamental right to marry."
There has been a lot of discussion among political analysts here in the past few months about why so many high-profile political figures in the state have been willing to throw their support behind a position disapproved of by a majority of voters. Schwarzenegger has explained away his previous vetoes of same-sex marriage legislation by saying he refused to sign the bills while the Supreme Court was considering the matter. But Brown, in particular, who is considering a run for governor in 2010, has seemed to abruptly change sides in the past year.
Experts believe there are two likely explanations for the A-list political support: First, only a small majority of voters supported Proposition 8, far fewer than have supported bans on same-sex marriage in the past, and polls show the support dwindling. Because younger voters and most Democrats in this state don't have an objection to gays and lesbians marrying, there is very little political pressure on many Democratic politicians in the state to support a ban.
There are also legitimate constitutional questions about Proposition 8, experts say. Once the Supreme Court found the ban on gay marriage unconstitutional last year, the legal landscape changed. The court not only said marriage was a fundamental right but set a precedent by putting sexual orientation in the same legally protected class as race and gender. For Brown, especially, this meant that upholding the law, no matter what the voters said, now meant fighting Proposition 8.
"The idea that a simple majority can vote away a fundamental right from one minority, whoever it may be—the more [Brown] looked at it, the more he said to himself, 'This is not the way American constitutionalism is supposed to work,' " says Evan Wolfson, executive director of Freedom to Marry, a gay rights advocacy group. "There are other attorneys general in other cases in other states who've said, 'We're with you; we believe gay people should have the freedom to marry. But my job is to defend the law, and I have to do my job.' People tend to understand that. But I think when he was preparing to defend it, he decided it really was indefensible."
The court's ruling last spring rested on a 4-to-3 majority. If the justices vote the same way in the cases before them tomorrow, Proposition 8 would be invalidated. After the court hears arguments tomorrow, it will have 90 days to issue a decision.
