The title is just a thing i made with the available words in a refrigerator poetry thing the other day but it seems like a good way to get ahead in life....

...anywho I am so excited I leave for Florida in like 10 hours and it is gonna be sunny and beachy and swimmy and warmalicious! I cannot wait. The flight on the other hand, i could wait for that. Ugh I am gonna try mind over matter and just think "i will not get sick, i will not get sick!". It is def a lot in my mind bevcause when i took xanax one time for it i was totally ok on the flight pretty much. I didn't call my md to get xanax this time which was stupid and so hopefully i survive!! And hopefully there are no terrorists and what nots on my plane. But i think there won't be cuz it is at nighttime and i feel like terrorists mostly work during the day. Better publicity and stuff compared to when people are sleeping. First thought would be terrorists are night people, but really I think they are early risers mostly and get most of their work done during the day. I could be wrong....see ya all next week when i am tan and toned and warm!

So i ddin't see any of the memorial serivce live because I had to work a second 13 hour day in a row so that I would be free tomorrow night for Terry's pseudo-30th birthday dinner at my mom's house (haha 30 , over a month early!)! Anywho luckily a good portion my customers are retired or don't work and so they could keep me updated on the every moment of it! I just watched a little on youtube. Brooke Shields was awesome! I didn't realize they were ever friends. I in reality am not a huge MJ fan , like i like his music but i don't nkow lots about him and stuff or like follow him devoutly! Anywho I relaly like her speech , it was very good in many ways.

I've been reading old journals a lot lately and I realize i used to do so much and go out so much even on work night but now I always think oh i have to work tomrow all day so i'll be tired so i won't go out. But i tihnk I am actually more tired by not goig out. Like going out rejuvenates me. I think i am less tired the next day at work if i go out and don't come home til 2 am then if i go home, rest and go to bed. I need to social rejuvenation! unfortunately I am lacking in that department lately. I need to spice up my life, all the people of the world spice up my life, every boy and every girl spice up my life, ...

here is brooke

So last night was (e:beast)'s last day in B-lo before going back to Scotland. (e:Me) and (e:libertad) were supposed to go pick her up at her local riverside neighboorhood bar Sensations by Riverside Park where her family hangs out. Her husband who already went back to Scottland thinks it is the best place ever and teres raves about in a its not classy but fun kinda way but I never felt like I would be comfortable there. Well we are suppsed to just pick her up but her dad is like no you guys have to park and come in for one drink. Needless to say we stayed for like 10 drinks made by faboulous bartenders named Squeaky and Cat. Ironically squeaky has like 20 cats but cat does not. They are so entertaining. We heard all about how cat is really a cougar (haha how appropriate) and about the 26 year old guy that came in and made her cream her pants the other night. And how she pretends her knife is lube to ward off rapists. It all was much funnier in person. The rest of the patrons were a few older men prolly around teres's dads age. It was actually really fun and unlike anything i have been around before! I don't know that i would feel comfortable going there without teres though. Riverside is a whole nother world in some ways. ANywho so we were supposed to pick up teres and come back to dave's to make dinenr. BUt like 10 drinks and some shots of crown later i was not about to drive to dave's past the millions of cops at the riverside carnival as the patrons at Sensationz warned me.

So we deiceded to bring the food which was in the car cuz we bought it on the way and just go to (e:beast)'s parents house like a block away and cook it up. (e:libertad) did a great job considering there wasn't a lot of light in the backyard and he didn't have half the ingredients he planned to use. He improvised and it came out delish. We were able to finsih cooking just in time to run to the fireworks at riverside park with our food. It was perfect. Though the riverside fireworks are a little less than stellar esp. after seeing Kenmore Days so recently and having their fabulosity stuck in my brain!!! Anywho it was a fun, unexpected night. It was different and entertaining and fuN! i recommend giving riverside a try sometimes for something a little different, a little laid back a littel fun a little stuck in atime when people wore a lot of full denim outfits!

So on saturday I went to zoar valley with (e:libertad), (e:paul), (e:terry), (e:matthew) and (e:james) and had a good time all in all despite i have a general hatred of nature and walmart and I had to be around both. But rafting was super fuN! Anywho so I realized how bad i eat when here is what i had for the day

Breakfast: skipped it
Lunch: cheese sandwich with mustard
Hiking Snacks: lots and lots of cheetos and some mike's hard lemonade

Here's where it gets worse
Dinner: chicken club and french fries from wendys
Kenmore Days Fireworks Snack: french fries with nacho cheese and bacon
After Going out to Frizzys 4 am snack: french fries with blue cheese

Yup the majority of my food on saturday was french fries and the various accompnaying cheeses! I LOVED IT!

Just decided to google mike visco and the third result is (e:paul)'s journal about mine and (e:terry)'s birthday one year which includes a video of me reading dramatically from a porn magazine. And that my friends is why i think i could never become a teacher .

I decided to buy my credit score from myfico.com today and was quite impressed with it. I mean i have never really had any strife in my life and so i have never had to go into debt so that helped a lot. I am also really quite anal about paying everything on time and not having balances. I also just got my interest rate reduced by a percent on my student loans for paying on time for like 5 years in a row or something which was exciting. My dad also made me get a credit card at like 17 to start building credit which I think was a good thing cuz they say longevity counts. So if only i had any money now would be the time to buy a house and get a good mortgage rate right? cuz who knows what will happen to my score in the future!

So me and (e:Mk) were in Target the other day before we went to see the Hangover (which was hilar by the way). ANyway so i used to collect these little Miss and Mr books which never really took off here but were bigger in europe. ANywho they are starting to take off here and have like a tv show and toys and stuff now. And thye had this Miss Chatterbox that when you press her special spot she talked. But the weird part was she talked in French so we read the whole box which was all in english and it said nothing about French and all the other ones spoke in english. It must have been totally a mistake liek that was supposed to go down the conveyor belt to the France box but ended up in the Buffalo Target box by mistake. It was more entertaining than it sounds now that I am writ5ing this. But it was relaly strange!

totally unrelated...my favorite clip from my favorite yet scariest movie of all time

That's right it's (e:libertads) birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope this year is the best one yet for you, for us, for everything! I couldn't ask for anyone better!!!!!!!!





Look even Buffawhat is celebrating your birthday by having a big ol' cigar!

I don't love Jimmy Fallon but he had Zach Morris, yes thats right you read that right, Zach Morris (not mark paul gosseler) on his show the other night and it was amazingly amazing fantastic. It ends with a rendition of Friends Forever with the Roots! it is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Watch it!

So i wish i had a picture but i don't right now and want to write about it. So I saw in a like buffalo magazine thing an ad for Citylove which is a tshirt store that makes tshirts based on things in Buffalo (not like the I HEART BUFFALO HOCKEY ONES) , i like these better. Anyway so I saw that they had a tshirt of the mural of the lion on the side of some building on Delaware downtown sorta near Allen. I have always loved that mural and it is kinda fading away and in some parts the brick is exposed again. (e:libertad) gave me an awesome picture of it for my birthdya this year. ANywho, so today me and (e:jill) went to citylove to see what it really looked like cuz I didn't love the colors in the picture. But so we went and I saw it and i really liked the colors and how it looked in person and so I bought it.

But it gets better so the guy who was like about my age told us the story of the tshirt which made it even more interesting. He said like he doesn't design most of the shirts but he designed that one cuz he thought it was interesting and its cool becasue where in the mural the paint is missing he filled it in with "wake the lion" and he said how symbolizes like buffalo's rebirth and then like it ties in with Mckinley being shot and how people said buffalo was cursed since then because I guess that mural is based on the Mckinley monument lions. So anyway so he made this shirt which i love and then i guess the guy who painted the mural called him cuz he liked it and i guess that guy is now the head designer for the sabres and creates their logos and stuff.

So all in all I love my new shirt, will post a pic soon hopefully and i really like the citylove store and its owner seems nice so you should shop there, though they don't have lots of stuff , but i liked it. (e:jill) saw a shirt she was gonna get her sister too prolly. Maybe I will wear my shirt Sunday, though it is dark and so that might be too hot. We'll see!!!
