9:12 pm - Update.

Eh. I have nothing to say. Just trying to keep this thing alive.
Anyone wanna see what I can do with a box of matches, an old wooden chair, and a yard of fishing line?

Didn't think so.

2:57 pm - Well, that sucks...

As all you Fox Fan Club members may already know, my life long dreams of becoming a roadie for a local band were finally coming true, since a friend of mine is playing in a local band that's getting quite big here.
Correction: Was playing in a local band.
It seems that yesterday was band rehersal...according to my friend (we'll call him "Irizarry" for our purposes here), the guys are just a bit nuts and violent...well there was a bit of tention, one thing lead to another, the bassist almost punched Irizarry in the face, and so, he quit.
Irizarry wasn't in such a great mood today. I just reminded him that "Jesus loves you" and that he didn't fit in very well with them anyways (he's 23, all the other guys are 40).
Still...things have taken a turn for the worse...lately things haven't been so great and the only thing that seemed cool in my life was the fact that I was connected with a band.
Shite.

10:04 am - Okay, so I didn't get to see the Rolling Stones last night...
|
But I did get to go to this Sports bar with my father...I asked him if he would take me since I knew the guitarist from the band that was playing there.
At first he really wasn't in the mood, he was sick and had been working all day...I didn't want to make him upset or anything, but I wanted to watch the band...I mean, I had to do something. I was bored as crap and the Stones were playing a show here that I didn't have tickets to.
Anyways, the cool thing is that my father has friends there...and I knew the guitarrist...my father likes music and I like music, he likes bars and sports and I like bars and sports...
They were already playing when I got there. I just tried to blend in, and after a while, the guitarist pointed at me, which I suppose means he saw me...
They did a few songs and when they were done, the guitarist got the band's photographer and make her take pictures of us...then he gave me a CD of theirs...He must have been happy to see me I guess. o_o
After that, I met the singer...damn good singer that one. He told me that he was going to get drunk as a bastard so I said bye...
Then the guitarist showed up again. He told me that there was this American dude that said he'd give him $50 if he let him play a song...apparently that dude was serious as a heart attack and drunk as well...my guitarist took the offer, of course, and he got his money.
We talked about nothing for a while, and I met the manager...I was feeling better about not going to the Stones show...
"Hey, I have to go somewhere," he said. "I'll be back after it's done."
"After what is done?"
"The concert."
"The Stones?"
"Yes."
"...Fuck you!"
Ah well. Easy come easy go. I still got to chill with my father...which I do not do very often. Hah, fun.

A little update since Friday.
Okay, on Friday, I went to the Old San Juan with my brother, Laura, and Yomarie. They invited me to just walk around the place and go to Hard Rock Café...I REALLY wanted to go to the Hard Rock.
The whole time there was real fun...we kept talking about all this random crap...oh yes, this guy that works in the Hard Rock, who I had met just a month before, was there. I told him, "Hey! I know you!"
"You do?" he asked.
"Yeah...I'm the Weird Al kid..."
"....DUUUUDE!" We shook hands.
I think a while after that, I had gotten my sandwhich...I swear...it happened just like this...the sandwhich was in my hand, I was about to take a bite off it, when Yomarie, who was sitting across me in the table, knocked down her glass of water...the whole glass spilled on me...the whole friggin glass.
I didn't want any attention, so I told everyone not to tell the waitress, and they didn't, so she didn't notice. But, dayum!, it was cold. It was really cold. I felt like I was sitting on ice. Which I was.
Then, all of a sudden, Scott Weiland came on TV...I, of course, recognized him immediately...I yelled, "Hey! It's my idol!" and forgot all about my cold ass.
The video was a live performance of the song "Down" from back in 2000...that was back when he had this mohawk...these really weird long black gauntlets...he was pale as hell and danced differently, but it was him alright.
I think it was immediately after that video that a Bowie video came on...it was back from the Ziggy Stardust days...I yelled, "Hey! It's my idol's idol!"
So....not much happened in the rest of our time at the Hard Rock...except that I found this magnet on my chain...I don't know where it came from or how long it had been there though. It was a pretty cool magnet though.
Oh yes, and Yomarie....she got this call from her boyfriend...they were arguing...AGAIN...they are always arguing. I don't quite understand them really. All I know is that I hate it. I hate it when she gets calls from him because she gets it in the middle of something, and when she hangs up, she's all depressed and bitchy. I really don't get it. They hate each other. Gah, it's not healthy, I know it's not. I haven't even met this guy either.
Anyways, we went out for a walk, and took pictures...I kept seeing these pictures....you know, you are walking, and all of a sudden you see this view....like you HAVE to take a picture of it, because it's perfect. Maybe I should be a photographer. Maybe I should get myself a camera and take pictures of these things I see. It's really quite cool. I know I've helped my sister take some good pictures for her history projects.
But yeah, my brother and Laura....and I suppose even I...we cheered Yomarie up. And it was good. It's a great feeling when you make someone laugh or make them happy.
While we were walking...we were looking for this bar called Dákiti...the bar is famous...it really is...but no one knows where it is. No one ever does. Laura really wanted to find it though. But no, we didn't find it.
We did come across this...little boat of some sort...what are those called...anyways, it was a party. It was a boat that had music and drinks and disco balls. The woman asked if we wanted a ride...it was an hour long and it took you to some place...I have no idea where....anyways, it was also $12, and none of us could afford it. We just sat in a bench, and I guessed we listened to all the music untile the boat departed.
Sometime in the night, Yomarie got yet another call form her boyfriend. Sigh.
Okay well, that was basically it. We sat outside Hard Rock, the rest of the night, waiting to get picked up. Most of the time my brother was chatting and laughing with my friends...I was hoping that the fact that I didn't join in much conversations didn't annoy anyone...make them feel bad or anything...God, I was just tired.
I was glad my brother was there though. He made my friends happy. I couldn't have done that really. My brother is good at making people laugh, and I was tired. Yomarie said that she was glad that we were there because we always made her feel better after she had a fit with her boyfriend.
Sitting outside the Hard Rock, I heard a familiar voice...I entered the Hard ock and Aerosmith was on TV...ah, I know Steven's voice anywhere.
On Saturday, or yesterday, we woke up pretty early because we were going to Ponce. For those of you who are not familiar with Puerto Rico, I live in San Juan, which is on the northeast of the island, and Ponce is in the southwest.
I wasn't to thrilled about going at first...we were going with my father because he was incited to spend time with his family. The reason was because he had mentioned that the man who called him, his uncle, was always scolding him. I really wasn't too keen about going somewhere with people who dislike my afther.
Anyways, it was pretty cool. It was a pretty long car trip, during which I listened to Stone Temple Pilots mostly. The house was of my father's uncle...I have been there before. Anyways, I don't really know the names odf the people there, but there was his uncle and his wife, his other uncle, and his cousin.
We sat there most of the time listening to the grown ups talk and playing with this dog. And it was fun. They'd tell stories amongst themseklves about people I didn't know, but they were fun stories...especially my father's cousin's stories. He was a funny guy. He claimed that he looked like Tom Cruise and stuff. Ah, fun fun.
Well, there was this...I don't remember who it was, but he made the comment that I was fat. Which wasn't so cool...in the car I was really high, I was almost going crazy, like manic, you know...but that just got me in a low.
We came home pretty late and we had to get ready for Church, but I went to bed. When I woke up, I was in no better mood. I didn't want to go to Church...and I felt terrible about myself.
But yeah, Church was boring to say the least...it was long...they had this string mini orquestra playing tunes, from which, at the beginning, I recognized just one by Mozart....the rest were these long, slow, gloomy, and depressive tunes...my father didn't come to Church...and Christmas is the only time in the year that he ever bothers to come.
After all that crap, the orquestra broke into Jingle Bells, but then the audience fucked it up by clapping...I mean, they began clapping at first, a lot of them, but then they figured that it sounded terrible, so they stopped...yet there were these few people who didn't stop clapping and they really fucked it up.
Eventually, my sister figured that I wasn't doing good, and that got her in a bad mood because I wouldn't tell her my reasons...I didn't want to tell her...it was really embarassing...I promised her that it was temporary and that I'd get better...still, she was in a bad mood, so I began playing with her, pretending I was in a better mood...and that, somehow, made me feel better.
I'll tell you what made me feel better. In the Church, there was this girl who was dressed in black and she had one of those "emo haircuts"...I had never seen her in Church before, and I didn't know who she was or anything...but she looked great...GOD, she looked great. I tnought that maybe I could "bump" into her "accidently" and "instinctively" wish her a Merry Christmas. Or, maybe I could stalk her, sneek into her car, find out where she lives, and visit her every day of her life.
I didn't do either one.
Okay...yeah, we had to wrap my mother's presents. My sister and I did that in her room...and he did a terrible job...it's funny, we've been wrapping presents for years, but we never seen to improve....actually, we've gotten a lot worse. But we wrapped all of my mom's presents and I stayed in my sister's room for a while. Then I went to bed.
I must have lied down at about 12...but it took me a good 45 minutes to fall asleep. I wasn't doing too good...my head hurt and so did my stomach. But I supposed I just sat there until I got tired and eventually fell asleep.
It was dark, so I could not see the time. But I think it was like 5 AM because of the lighting. I didn't want to get up, but I was wide awake. I decided to lie down and fall asleep, but it didn't happen.
I was thinking a lot about Kim. I hadn't talked to her in just like...2 days. I still felt like a lot to tell her though. Gah, that's all I thinking about for 2 whole hours. I swear. It felt...weird...it really did.
So yeah, I decided to get up at 7 AM. My sister woke up at about the same time. We were downstairs and we were watching the movie Daddy Day Care and eating last night's linguinni.
My father got up at about 8 and shortly after my mother came down. We watched the whole movie and then at about 9:30, my mother decided to wake up my other sister and my brother so then we could open presents.
Ah soooo...this year I got a Bowling for Soup CD, a keyboard, and a cell phone. Yes, a cell phone. It's pretty...fun, I suppose. Especially the backround I put in. I'm not telling you what it is though...all I can say is...my mother doesn't approve.
Well, like I said, if it wasn't for all that chocolate, I'd be lying in the floor somewhere...I'm tired as hell...but it's been a long day...I chilled a lot today...even practiced some guitar...and then we went the park and we walked about 3 miles. Then we went and got some ice cream.
Oh, but yeah...I've been having fun these past days...right now we're gonna go watch the movie Madagascar and then I have to watch my sister's Anime DVD with her...that should be a total of about 5 hours.
Ah. So yeah. If you are actually still reading all of that (seriously, get help!) then Merry Christmas to you...have a good day.

9:46 pm - Oh, so THAT'S why he's not teaching next year...oh...
|
Ah soooo...
I went to Polifonía yesterday to buy egg shakers and Kazoos for my siblings.
While I was there I asked the woman in the counter if they had a new guitar teacher, since my teacher told me that he was going to the States, so he wouldn't be able to teach next semester.
She told me that they didn't have a teacher yet...and then she said, "Oh, that's right, you took classes with Rubén...yeah, he's not teaching next in January because he enlisted in the Army or in the Navy or something."
I kind of stared for a while and said, "Oh."
Before I left, I told her that if it was a matter of choice, that I would rather have the same teacher teach theory on January because he was a pretty good teacher.
Anyways...it's really been thinking in between yesterday and today...damn...I hope that he takes care of himself out there.

5:40 pm - Cocaine Tree
|
Okay so...there are no Christmas trees anywhere...not even artificial ones...
Well, that is not ENTIRELY true. There were a few ugly trees unreal ones...like, nice pink colored ones that were three feet tall.
We did stumble upon a sale of very good looking Canadian trees...prices ranging from $85 to $100.
I don't know about you, but I blame the fact that everyone is buying those artificial ones so they won't even have to work on putting lights on them.
Anyways, my mother brought these two three feet ones...and we will be trimming these tree in our yard...it's called a "coca" tree...that's obviously a cheap attempt to hide the fact that it is a cocaine plant!
On a side note...I watched King Kong...Jack Black...I only watched it because Jack Black was in it...it was an okay movie really. It was long though.

7:42 pm - I lost my job today
|
I lost my job as Fan Art admin on GSB.
That is because I'm always slacking off. I guess Dujo finally got tired of it and fired me.
So I did what every person with dignity would do...I knelt down and begged for my job.
If it would have been me, I would have never given me the job back. Lucky for me, I am not Dujo. Dujo pratically made me swear that I would do it every 3 days.
So...I got my job back...that is, I suppose I'm on probation. So I should be serious about it.
Dujo told me he wasn't mad at me...which is good.

8:53 pm - I need to rant
|
Well, I was supposed to film this school project for English class...
We did that on Friday, but I've been here ever since trying to edit this thing.
First, we couldn't get the stuff from the camera to the computer.
So then my friend took it somewhere to make it into a DVD, and I finally got a hold of it.
The program I normally use did not accept the video type, so I had to use another program.
It was shit. I could get anything done. Finally, I was able to do all the editing, after my computer freezing time after time.
Then, I couldn't do any titles or credits. I decided to make them in Windows Movie Maker (the best) and it was great.
Unfortunately, Nero had problems getting those files in...if I uploaded them, I couldn't do anything because otherwise it would disappear and make my life worse.
I did all the credits and then I went on to upload music, but it wouldn't work...I mean, even Movie Maker was failing me.
I finally decided to exclude the music...
But in Nero I couldn't get the subtitles! What the fuck? I decided to just make that shit into the DVD.
It was crap. It was terrible quality.
My brother is now helping me to get this into another format so I can make it all over again in Movie Maker. We're not even sure if this is gonna work.
This thing is due on Wednesday...today is almost over but I have to finish it because tomorrow I have my guitar class all day...
Which by the way, I have a music test tomorrow and I haven't practiced and there is NO WAY in hell that I can master that crap by tomorrow after noon.
If I get something higher than a D in that test, I'm doing a fucking backflip.
I need to clear up my mind. I'm just really really infuriated right now. So infuriated, I can't even see right.

I'd like to sing a song that kept me going when I was down.

We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
But it wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster!

How do you get your sleep at night?
How did you get your noose so tight?
Like chewing on tinfoil, it's so much fun
Gonna be dead before your gone
Cause look how things have gotten
And I'll be happy so I won't pretend
And I'll be cheering that you're going down
And I'll be laughing, I'll be laughing
How many feelings can you steal?
Gotta be part of your appeal
I can see through you cause you're wearing thin
Like chewing on tinfoil once again
Ha Ha you're dead
And I'm so happy
In loving memory
Of your demise
When your ship is going down
I'll go out and paint the town
Ha Ha you're dead
Ha Ha you're dead
Ha Ha you're dead
(ha ha ha)
Ha Ha you're dead
The joke is over
You were an asshole
And now you're gone
As your ship is going down
I'll stand by and watch you drown
Ha Ha you're dead
You're gonna be dead
Just remember what I said
Ha Ha you're dead
Ha Ha you're dead
Ha Ha you're dead

8:13 pm - Library Books
|
I want to steal some library books...Catcher in the Rye and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest...they are at the school library, where nobody ever rents books...
I rented one recently and the librarian didn't put a due date on them because "she trusted me to bring it back" so that kinda makes me feel worse...anyways, neither one of the two books have the little library card thing stuck in the back of it, so they don't really belong there either.
My plan is to finish reading Ordinary People (maybe I'll steal a copy too if I like it) and when I go to give it back...I'll try to get her busy, I dunno, just tell her, "I have the book" and she'll tell me to put it back by myself, and when I do, steal them...
Or maybe I can say, "lemme rent these", and then I do and never give them back...
OR I could just tell her that those books don't have library thingy so I was wondering if I could just take them...that would be the best way, but I run the risk of her just saying no and then putting the library thing on them.
Man, why does she have to be a responsible librarian?
....yes, I'm aware of how pathetic and dorky this is.
