I heart you lindsey!

So, I was going to post about my weekend, but I'll save that for tomorrow; today, I must first come out of the closet. I LOVE REAL WORLD/ROAD RULES CHALLENGE.
There. I said it.
It's been hellainteresting. So much drama. So many cute people. *drool* I totally applaud you lindsey. Even though you got kicked off the real world team, you were rockin' on with that positive attitude. Your "friend" Stephen, however, sucks ass. He needs to get over himself and learn how to manage his anger. The world isn't out to get him. The world probably doesn't care. Oh well.
I hope Real World kicks Road Rules' ass...it doesn't look like its going to happen though.
That said, I must go finish my spaghetti : )
So much to say...sort of

Well, first off, new Star Wars trailer. HOLY FUCKING SHIT, that movie is going to rock. Some people said it looked "fake." I'll admit that on the TV, some of the CGI looked a little unreal, probably because it was so crisp; ironically it looked much better on my computer monitor...dunno why. It's gonna look good in the theater though.
Don't be a hater. This movie will rule. People who say the dialogue is bad...lets think about this one here: "I've got a bad feeling about this?" that's good dialogue? It's horrible; it's campy, it's fun. Get over it. I realize we're not 7 anymore, so you expect more from the movie, but lets face it, in all honesty the original trilogy was just popcorn fun. Accept that about the new movies, and you'll enjoy it.
Also, did you realize today is the six month anniversary of September, 11? I'm sure you did, the news media is shoving it down our gullets. Still, its hard to believe its six months after that day already. It also means i'm nearly 26 already. Fuck!
Speaking of, on Saturday, after the club, we went for breakfast at denny's. I'm way too old to be hanging out with the people I hang out with. Some of them weren't even born when I was in kindergarten. Sad, just sad.
Anyway, enjoy the week, and I'll try to be better about posting on the site this week. : )
What the Hell?

You know, I was just sitting here in my office at work and I had the strangest thought. I suddenly started thinking of people who I hadn't heard from in a while.
If I know you, and I haven't heard from you in a while...talk to me. I probably miss you. : )
just a thought

I just got home a few minutes ago from work. For those that don't know, I commute about 40 miles from my apartment to work every day.
Today, on my drive home, I had a thought; I see some of the same people driving back and forth every day. I wonder if they notice me, or how their day went. Then I thought about some of the other cars that I used to see every day, and wondered what happened to them; why don't they drive back and forth anymore? It was a really interesting little thought, at least to me.
Then I wondered, while i'm zipping down the highway at slightly over the speed limit (just not enough to attract attention) if they notice that I drive the same route every day. Or if they ever notice me singing along with my favorite songs. Maybe they get a kick out of me dancing in my car. I know I make myself laugh sometimes.
If there was an award for driving and dancing while in a car, I'd win. I'd SO win.
The end of an era

So, I got busted with a pet violation at my complex yesterday. I no longer have a cat. That's right, the evil Lord Skittles, Joshua Kevin Echavarri was given away today. I miss him a lot; ironically I hated that cat. He was so mean and ill tempered. Still, it was nice to have a friendly little kitty to meow at you when you got home from work.
As evil as you were josh, I will miss you : (
And now the living room is nearly complete...

There is a kitchen table! YAY!
All I need is a coffee table, and maybe another recliner type chair for my living area, and the front is DONE! HOORAY!
Finally, on my list of furniture I most desperately need: a new bed.
I can't believe it. My dad actually bought me a table, just like that. I was so thankful. wow. very cool. Every once in a while, he's a cool guy. If he could only do it for stretches longer than a month. I'll work on him. I'm very not dependent on him anymore, so we'll see if we can work out a new and improved relationship. We'll see.
TABLE TABLE TABLE TABLE TABLE! YAY! AND FOUR CHAIRS TOO!!!
And we had fun fun fun...

Til my daddy took the t-bird away.
No, but really last night was UN blast. Freaky came out with me, and we snuck a drink at ESC, then went partying at the club. WHAT FUN! I got to meet all kinds of new people and freaky met all the corpus crew. Rollermog, Freaky and I even did shots together, YAY!
Then we went to Denny's for breakfast...except no one ever served us. it sucked. We waited for chuck to show up; I almost thought he wouldn't show. Then we made the command decision to go to IHOP. Except that I drove to the other denny's. Funny! Once I realized I went to the wrong place, we went to the right place. So I rocked the Biscuits and Gravy at IHOP. SCRUM-BUNCTIOUS. Except that Chuck was all stealing my sunshine by ordering the same thing. It's oK, I can forgive him.
Anyway, I hope Freaky had fun going out with me, even if I did keep her up til 5.
A quick shout out: GirlyTam, I *heart* you.
For the record: I was *not* trying to impress anyone.
I hate it when TV is like a drug!

Freaking HELL!
Bunim and Murray, I spit my last breath on thee! Again, you gyp me by not showing the end of the damn challenge. BASTARDS!
Why am I so hooked on Real World/Road Rules Challenge? It's just not right.
Friggen hell.
A Glimpse into the future

I found this on www.modernhumorist.com
It's like a glimpse into the future; what Oscar nominee's prepared acceptance remarks are, and what they actually say. Too funny!
NOMINEE:
John Williams, Best Score for “A.I.” and “Harry Potter”
PREPARED REMARKS:
“Thank you for honoring me once again.”
WHAT HE WILL ACTUALLY SAY IF HE WINS:
[Walks on stage. Opens mouth. Emits pleasing C-Major chord. Wins four more Oscars.]

So last night, after the horrendous headache of Thursday, I got invited to dinner by Chuck and JReese. It was good. We had fun. Afterwards, we went to go find Krysdol, and hung out at her house for a while until JReese and Krysdol decided to go rollerblading on the bayfront.
Chuck and I are incredibly uncoordinated on rolling shoes, so we just walked.
Anyway, the whole point of this post is to say that Chuck, who is a relative newcomer to the group, thinks that my friends are good people. We go out and have fun and damn others who would impede our good time. I hadn't thought of my friends that way in a long while, so it was a good reminder.
I really do love my friends; I don't think I'm picky about who I associate with, but my mom told me that she was always proud of who I chose to associate with, because I pick out good influences. So Chuck, thanks for reminding me what good friends I have. To my friends, thanks for being such good friends to me. I appreciate it more than you will ever know.
Having wonderful friends is a very good seeing as how I will remain single for the rest of my life. I'm counting on you guys to take care of me when I get too old to take care of myself ; )
Why did I have a blast?

Why did I have a blast tonight?
We may never know, but I had the best time tonight. It was just fun; it was the bomb explosive.
Chuck, your friend, Jacob from O-Town, he's the shiznits. We need to hang out with more often. He's fun as hell. Chuck, we also need to work on your tolerance. Two shots and you're buzzin hard? mmm mmm mmm, you're a cheap date. I like it! just kidding.
Just so you know, no the moment did not present itself, aaron. Perhaps tomorrow. Only time will tell. Huey, I *heart* you BTW.
For those about to rock, we salute you!

Yeah, so I couldn't think of anything else to title this entry.
Be happy, there's new pictures in the picture pages section. Twelve of them to be exact. Aren't you excited?
I think I have enough good pictures of all my friends to start constructing a friends section. Only because i'm insane and a big net geek, it'll be themed or something. Everything should have a theme, don't you think?
I do.
Don't go see Sorority Boys. Too many penis jokes. Too many drag jokes. If I wanted to see/hear all that, I'd go see the midnight drag show at the club.
That is all.
Something to think about

This is a kind of sad thing I saw today.
I was driving home from work today and I zoomed past a cemetary. There was a funeral going on. It just struck me that while I was out having a blast rocking out to my favorite oldskool jams (it was the 80's at lunch), there were all these people having one of the most intimate and painful moments life has to throw at us. Kind of a strange thought when 80's Janet Jackson is playing or when i'm zipping down the highway at 75mph.
The whole thing made me think about the person that they were all there gathered to say goodbye to; it made me wonder what kind of person he or she was, how much they were loved, if they had any kids, that sort of thing. Its a little morbid, but I wondered about it anyway. I would guess that they were pretty loved; there were a ton of people there. I guess that means something, huh? Not that it makes the whole moment any easier to digest knowing that there were a lot of people there to say goodbye to that person...
I should hope that when my time comes, I would be so lucky as to have that many people attend my funeral...NO CRYING THOUGH! It's all about fun and happiness. It takes an act of congress to get all my friends together. I think that when I can finally arrange them to come all together (even if it is my funeral) there will be disco balls and dancing. I wouldn't have it any other way.
If you're wondering, I turned off my radio when I saw what was going on...somehow 80's pop didn't seem all that appropriate. Didn't turn it on again for the rest of that trip.
weird mood

I've been in a weird funk all day.
I just read this article about the Pope. You know, I feel really bad for the guy. I think its amazing that he holds out like he does; I only hope that when I get to be his age (no jokes, people) I hold out as well as he has.
It makes me sad though, to think that he's old and frail. I remember when I was little and he was so vital and full of energy...well at least on TV he was. To see him now, its kind of saddening. I just thought I'd wish him well for easter.
I'll be up in San Antonio tomorrow chillin with the maternal unit. I will post when I have time : )
