god im so clever.

the story really begins thursday. my friend chase calls me up to see if we want to go scout out a ps3, for the money you know. we go everywhere around and call even more places, but we started about 24 hours too late, considering we both have jobs and i didnt get off till five. so after dutifully trying for about 4 hours, we finally succumb to logic. i say we. i feel i did. he still wanted to try staying at this one target, that had already said they only had 6, but there was a "rumor" that there might be 10. so i finally told him, hey, come on, let's go and i'll buy you a beer, we had a good run. so we did. and i got drunk. ughly drunk. stayed the night at his house, didnt go to sleep till after 3, was back at work at 8. ugh. friday i worked all day, and went to bed.
woke up saturday just down. we'd tried so hard and for nothing. i was very disappointed. went to class, went to best buy and walked around aimlessly for a couple hours, looking at stuff. noticed a couple of sleeping bags in front of the store, and thought, well, so much for making money off a wii. went home, and was just generally depressed. no sleep, no ps3. i told my friends id go out with them though, even though it was looking like id have to be the dd, so i took a shower and met up with them and drove to the bar.

I had a couple good beers at the fox & hound, even though i kinda hate that place. they were showing the ufc fight so all the waitresses were busy serving them, and so i couldnt order any food even though i was starving. so we went a couple doors down to wing stop, which i love. there were these little black kids in there, and brandi and heather were already kinda drunk and cursing loudly and the cashier asked if i could control my friends. i couldnt.

So then we went downtown, and i wanted to go to one of the new classy cocktail lounges that just opened up down on houston, but no, we had to go to some place where they could dance. because they were already drunk. weiners. so we went to the library (gag again. explanation: it's not that the library is so bad, it's just that i've been there a bunch and am still kinda tired of it. ) and met my friend chase and austyn there. austyn was drunk , there were these two largeish man friends of heather's trying to get with heather and brandi, and shane was not paying attention to the fact that austyn was dancing like a stripper and had the full undivided attention of up to 10 males at one point. one guy was particularly drunk and kept reaching out to grab her.

ikept laughing at the entire scene, though the drunk frat guy trying to molest her gave me pause. i didnt like that. in fact i really just wanted to smack him, but shane wasnt doing anything and lord knows austyn can, nay, would LOVE to handle herself, so i left it alone. spent about an hour there, and as the bar was closing down, austyn started asking guys if she could slap them. they, for whatever reason, they said yes, including the frat guy. and she slapped the shit out of every one of them. i'll bet it felt amazing. there were a lot of guys in military uniforms too, and though ive got no beef with guys in the military (as long as they leave me alone and dont try to recruit me), i had to think, didnt you motherfuckers didnt have time to change? are you really supposed to be going out to bars in full uniform? whatever. piddled in front of the bar for a bit (where you goin? want some ihop? girls make out.) then walked back to the car, drove brandi to her car, then drove all the way back out to weatherford to heathers house, dropped her off, then started driving home. it's about 4 in the morning right now. i stop off at the walmart in town that i used to work at, just out of curiosity, to see if i could get a wii, and bullshit with the electronics girl for awhile who gives me her number and tells me that they had 20 and they'd sold out by 12:36. i was impressed. so i drove into lake worth, swung by the target but no one was there. odd. then i went to best buy. there was a line outside, so i went up and found a guy in line who said he worked there and that they had 24 in stock, and that there was only 15 or 16 in line, they opened at 9. it was about 4:30ish. so i said hell yea, called chase to see if he wanted one, said no, but he came up and hung out with me anyway, and we stayed up all night bullshitting with nerds. it was a positive experience. i didnt get any sleep though. through this, i had originally intended to just buy one and flip it on ebay, but chase told me right before he left they were selling for about 5 or 6 hundred, as a bundle. not bad, not bad. but as i waited in line, i kept just wanting to keep it for myself. i mean, i wanted one anyway, so i..i dunno. i couldnt make up my mind. i did know that i wanted to be part of the experience in general, and i had a great time. i just took a bunch of pictures and talked. here's the pictures:

these (1) (2) sites make me nervous. its the whole americain idol thing, where people apparently have no idea what they actually sound like. now, dont get me wrong, theres some good people on there. but a lot of bad.

i like how you can't say the phrase "i shit you not" without moving your head somehow.

i wouldnt piss on him if he was on fire.

this was in my spambox this morning. i was glued to my screen

subject (the reason i opened it): African-American busboy

lyric of the day: i built a prison out of conjugal visits.

i dont see any rain.
my sleep pattern does this. makes me giddy. i dont feel that bad though. at least im not smoking.
practical:
i saw the departed last night. matt damon and leo are so....unbelievable. i actually think matt did a better job though, even though i was saying almost every time i saw him on screen, "Matt Damon," a la team america.
i ate some sushi, drank a LOT of sake. i didnt really want to though, it really wasnt my intention, but my lovely waitress andie (at the tokyo cafe, soon pirahana's, oooooo!) kept bringing me more. for free. free sake. damn.
a very awkward moment at the theater. the girl looked so lovely, and i was half-drunk, and i tried to kiss her, but got the pull away! i know, awww, the pull away! god it was so weird. but she seemed enthusiastic to hang out with me tonight. shes a hard girl to read. maybe she just didnt feel good. she said later she didnt feel very good. ah.
i dont skip enough. i think you can determine a persons mental health by the amount of skipping they do in a twentyfour hour period. i love skipping.
ive been wearing the same pants for three days now. i hardly ever brush my teeth at night anymore.
and last night, i went to sleep about 1:30. woke up, threw on my (dirty) pants, put on socks, shoes, started to get a shirt, and had a strange feeling. i looked at my phone and it was 3. so i went back to sleep, woke up later, jumped out of bed, thought a second, then looked at my phone, 4 something. went back to sleep. then i finally wake up, but on my pants, and check my phone just to make sure, and it was 6 (my alarm was set for 6:45). i dont know what that means.
tonight i am confronted with multiple possibilities. i dont know what im going to do.

Show us the first thing you see in the morning.

that's my foot, my lamp, my tiny tv, my dirty clothes basket. up on top of my bookshelf you can see my ancient trophies, and behind it some of my clothes. go awareness!!

austin was...bearable. i did it to myself really.
and i have since been irritable. just lack of sleep i believe. because of the

here's my recently watched movie list. in case you were wondering. and i know you were.

i shaved yesterday. i always look like an uncomfortable child. my lips look bigger though. which i think is good. i dont know really. it is strange having no hair on my head whatsoever. well, other than my eyebrows. and ive never really considered shaving them off. but my whole head is kinda itchy all the time. i dont like it. ive had some form of facial hair since i was 16 or so. i usually feel funny for about a week after i shave everything off. a nominal amount of hair is nice, its not really itchy, and i do say so myself, i think it can be rather becoming. im in this cycle right now though, where I'll grow out the beard for about a month, then shave it into an interesting design.

so, here's the styles i have tried thus far. help me decide what to do next.

ive also tried just a mustache, but my upper lip isnt big enough for it to look good, plus my hair is kind of light. and this other muttonchoppish thing. what do you think i should do next?
