my sneeze is one-hundred degrees

my very busy holiday season ended yesterday with me and jenny wilsons' 3 year 'anniversary.' I think i like how it extends the season 6 more days. While most must go back to preoccupation with their lives, i still get to concentrate on purchasing for someone else, which is a great way to keep your mind of the dreariness of your shitty lives. just kidding (unless your life is pathetic...then im not)
But wow....it is 7:23 in the am....this is the first of four days i am working with my father answering phones at his machine shop. This job is much different than my summer job answering phones.....all the same surroundings and tools......yet i feel so much more feminine. Because im surrounded by course lower-middle class working men with below average education, who probably enjoy bruce springsteen, and their memories of doing cocaine when they were young in the early 80s. But they seem professional, and my dad seems to be there leader. Actually it seems they fear him, except for one clean overweight guy who actually owns the place named "todd".......
But im working 10 hours a day basically, and at 8 dollars or so an hour.....ill be rollin in some much needed dough soon enough....

So much has happened since i posted last.

Kool Keith- funny funny. Kool Keith is insane....completely....Although the songs played were not really what i wanted to hear....it was still great to see keith with his wig and cape on...being very not in this world. I have to say, becuase it too is notable, that his freestyle is mediocre, but it is the greatest freestyle ever! to quote "im landed here, im up in here, there with be no ufo's or flying saucers landin here" and "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, im up in a tree" it was fuckin great.
and this group named zion-i really impressed me, as well as babooi blake and his full hour of freestyle and instruments (rather than beats and cuts and shit....like the roots i guess) His bassist was blind....and was really really good and cool as shit.......I saw him drinking alcohol after the show, and it had me pondering what it was like the be drunk or on drugs without the sightaspect................i bet its scary.

The Ranch- was not the vacation id hoped for. It was the vacation everyone else had hoped for....so 'Ranch Joey' remains a cool thing.....so thats 'cooool.
It just amazed me how easily led some people are, and how child-like grown young adults can become......not that anyone was terribly 'bad' or deserved some sort of punishment....its just....c'mon......everyone there was like 20.....and i had to repromand and 'keep an eye on' everyone in order to maintain order and keep people away from breaking the rules i set up in the begining......I also got a light version of bronchitis while there, and heard of OJ Garcias death....so it seemed as though the whole thing was tainted with something new everyday....
Also, one other notable thing....nearly every male that attended the 4 days of drunken glee recieved some sort of small wound from some sort of weapon.....it was ridiculous.

Mr. garcias funeral- i would say this to be the social gathering of the year. That sounds a bit like im emulating the clerks character randall.....but it really was. I saw a lot of people i had not seen since i had graduated and even a handful of people i haven't seen in 2 or 3 years....it was crazy. OJ knew a lot of people, so i wasn't surprised by the turnout....but i think there were atleast a thousand people there....it seemed.......alot of girls from high school....some of which already have gotten ugly.....which is funny.

Christmas- i recieved mostly just cash....of which i am greatful. Im starting a savings account towards some video equipment that ive been fancy-ing. I also recieved a large amount of cologne...of which i have never been a big fan of until recently....So now im a musky smelling guy. YEAH!.......

New Years- i got boozed....in austin.....and did not go to any partys....i hung out with jenny and my roomate and his "crowd"......it was okay......i suppose.....i got to watch a large man vomit and that is always cool.

Time in Katy/austin downtime- its been cool. I did some good movie watching....seeing Lord of the Rings ttt, gangs of new york, reign of fire, taxi driver, reservior dogs SE dvd, some of citizen kane, back to the future one two and three, and this movie i missed the end of but jenny filled me in, called 'the dangerous livesof altar boys' which is a pretty indy movie....and apparently it ends tragically and comedicly and i missed it....oh well. I also played a good amount of Mortal kombat: Deadly Alliance....which is a spectacular game....by far the most detailed and fun fighting game ive played in years....probably since Super Street Fighter 2. I used to play mortal kombat in my youth....and this just blows a fanboys mind. Oh ya....and my parents bought me and some friends of mine booze...and we ordered the 311 payperview....and it was a very cool...........and apparently my parents are the coolest parents of anyones parents i know..........im glad they are letting me do this kinda stuff post-high school........not condoning young drinking....but also realizing that the old drinking age was 18, and undermining the system.......

anyways...ill have 4 to 5 hours of free time everyday this week....and an apparent abundance of internet time while im here at 'work'............so ill post-it
