MySpace Ruined My Life ! ! !

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006


Dear Tom,

I would just like to let you know that everyday I wake up I am thankful that I am not you. To have to deal with all the burdens of keeping a site like MySpace up and running must be tough. Looking at all those photos of girls that AREN’T suppose to be on there and going “Eh, she LOOKS 18, it’s okay” must be rough for you.

This is an open letter that I have been wanting to write to you for a long time but haven’t had the courage to, thank God I have the bottle on my desk cause I don’t know what I would do without it.

First I would like to thank you for the “Top 8″. What an INGENIOUS IDEA! Nothing like reliving my high school days of WORRYING about if friends liked me or not. When I wake up each morning it’s like checking to see if the girl checked “Yes” or “No” or threw in that “Maybe” box that you would create at the bottom. You have managed somehow to be able to have the whole clique thing transcend from High School and go on into adult life. For this, I applaud you. . .

It’s amazing how you have created a world in which we all judge our lives on not how many ACTUAL friends we have but how many “Approvals” we receive on our accounts. Nothing like feeling like you just took a pregnancy test to find out if someone you think is hot/cool or just interesting thinks that WE are cool enough to make it on there friends list, let alone maybe a shot in the dark. . . . ON THEIR TOP 8 ! ! ! ! Can’t you just hear society crumbling around us right now?

NO? Let me continue.

Bulletins. Wow. Genius. Nothing like getting the same damn bulletin about “I am quitting Myspace” and have it be some forward that says you are going to be anally raped by a German midget, sorry, little person if you don’t send this on. And if you do send it on you are going to have the crush of your life call you within 5 minutes. HEY TOM, MY PHONE NEVER RANG! W.T.F. ?~!

This letter is far from over. You are on my list Tom. Watch out.

Like B.I.G., I’m going “Back To Cali”.

So I am heading to the land of Snoop D. O. DOUBLE G, Dre and X to tha Z tomorrow morning. My sister, her husband and lil’ miss Eloise are going to be in town for the weekend. I can’t wait to see them all.

I guess Eloise is turning into a little firecracker and is just growing by leaps and bounds each day. She is now able to talk on the phone and hold a conversation and I can’t wait to see what type of interaction that is when I see her in person.

I am also going to get to see some of my best pals from school in Florida. Drunk Uncle Jack, Jilly-Jill, JOEY!, J and good ol’ Derf. I can’t wait to see them it’s been like 2 years and that’s way to long when you live only about 11 hours away. Hopefully I will get to go out with them and everyone in Dog Patch Whino crew.

I will try and blog while I am down there, let’s just not cross any fingers.

Maybe I will see Lindsey Lohan while in the area. I should call her.

Going snowboarding…think we’ll leave Cheney at home.

Bend Trip: Day 1 (Friday Night and Saturday)

So this last weekend The Boys and I (plus one new addition, Foxxy Brown) went to Mt. Bachelor to get some riding in on one of the greatest mountains in Oregon.

So we get there on Friday night after a fun-filled car ride and decide to watch some Snowboard/Skiing videos and fix our boards so we don’t have to in the morning. Good thing, I found out I completly DESTROYED one of the 4×4 discs that go on my bindings. Luckily lucas brought his other ones and I was saved but damn that would have sucked.

So off to bed. The house that we stayed at had two rooms for all of us so we had to cram. Lucas and I were in the bunk-beds and the others had to share. Lucas called top bunk and I ended up with the bottom. And I told him, no, made him promise that he wouldn’t drink any beers an hour before bed. We all know what happens then.

So we all get to bed and have what I would refer to as “The Worst Night of Sleep This Earth and Everything That Is HOLY Have Ever Seen”. Everyone was tossing, turning and talking in their sleep (supposidly everyone said I was having a conversation with myself but I still am skeptical). The room went from a heat that was hot enough to melt Michael Jackson’s 8th..no..9th nose and then would be as cold as my step-mothers breath on a cold day in ANTARTICA!

So we get up early and walk around the house likes zombies getting ready to go snowboarding. Load up the cars and off the to the mountain we went. First tracks at 8 o’clock and we rode ALL DAMN DAY! I rode like I have never ridden before. I was in the zone. Stomping landings and everything. Yeah, my shoulder was bothering me but whatever…I love to ride. Nothing will stop me.

We finish for the day and head home to hit the hot tub and soak our aching and tired bodies. Couple drinks and then Devin’s dad invited us all to Chinese food.

We ordered enough food to feed…all….the….people…in…China? Yeah….China. So after eating and sitting there in the establishment we spent about 15 minutes trying to figure out what was in the “White Sauce” that was on top of the vegetables that Scotty ordered. I don’t know what anyone would do without the use of cell phones, friends and GOOGLE. Yeah we called, had him GOOGLE it and then tested the waitress about the ingredients. She said it was a secret but dammit we were going to crack that safe!

After shocking her with our ingredients list Lucas sequed into asking if the other waitress would care to join us for some drinks. HAHA Wow that was interesting. Her “Owners” said “No, thank you” and we left it at that.

We head to Redomnd, yes Redmond and not Bend! We like to experience “real” people. We head to this Honky-Tonk bar and proceed to stick out like a SORE THUMB! We are loud, laughing, drinking…no different from any other weekend. Scotty proceeds to make a new friend who LOVES to give “High 5’s”. This guy used up his “High 5″ mojo within the first 5 minutes of seeing and talking to us.

Next we headed to The Sky Box. Now anyone who knows about this bar it has a giant screen where girls dance behind a screen and it looks exactly like an iPod commercial. With this giant blue screen I wanted Scotty up there dancing. The plan formulated and grew and came together like Voltron in my head. I walked up to the bouncer and said this:

“My name is J.O. I am this young man’s manager. He is a Go-Go dancer from L.A. and is up here for awhile. I told he needed to dance here and YOU NEED to have him dance here. Where is the Owner/Mangaer?”

After about 1/2 a minute Scotty was gone and when the rest of us looked up at the screen to hear the Pussycat Doll’s singing we saw our friend Scotty being completely molested by two girls in an iPod commercial that was fit for having Janet Jackson’s nipple pop out in.

After Scotty’s triumphant dancing we all left and headed home. Everyone went into the hot tub and Scotty and I had “Prom” and both of us passed out mid conversation. His due to being tired and drunk, mine from being drunk and two 500mg Vicadin’s in my system for my shoulder.

What a night.

Random Thoughts from a TOTALLY random guy….

Friday, February 10th, 2006


So this is just a list of random things today. More entries of actual substance are to follow after this weekend:
1. I REALLY REALLY REALLY hate George Clooney.
2. I can’t wait to rip up Mt. Bachelor tomorrow with my crew.
3. Anti-Flag is becoming my new favorite punk band.
4. Love is a wonderful thing.
5. Did I mention shredding Mt. Bachelor tomorrow?
6. I have a new look, feel and just total overall perspective on life today. The sunrise I saw today meant so much more to me.
