Haven't felt like blogging for the past few days. It's like I've been on a roller coaster for the past two days, but there not much to do here at work so why not blog right?

Couple days ago sucked. Chandra called me up at 8:30 since she had been up for two hours and couldn't get back to sleep. Stopped by Some Bagels to get her breakfast. Dropped it off and hung out for a little bit. Decided to buy Rock Band for the Wii which was a mistake since the Guitar Hero guitar doesn't work with it as we were lead to believe. Went home, played a little, then took a nap.

Ryan later came by. Lacey was in need of some alone time so I told Ryan it was more than ok to crash at my place. I give the kid more shit than anyone, but even my cold heart wouldn't allow me to pick on the poor kid. And being as how Tuna and Nick don't like him, I was kinda protective of him for the rest of the night.

Last night I went to see Hellboy II: The Golden Army last night with a group of people. I gotta say I loved it. It's no Iron Man or Incredible Hulk, but it's a badass and hilarious superhero flick. I don't think I've laughed so much at a superhero movie...well, at least where it was the director's intention for me to laugh. After the movie we hung out outside and made rather distasteful so therefore hilarious comments. Ryan crashed and Chandra stopped by for a little bit. Ryan, Nick, and I started watching Golden Eye for the first time in years, and it's incredible how much I still remember those Golden Eye maps from the N64 and what a good job the developers did turning the movie sets into maps in the first place.

So far I've only beaten the fire and ice bosses on Mega Man X, which are small feats on their own. I think I'll be spending the rest of my day doing that when I get off at three. Maybe run by Al and Lacey's and see how everyone's holding up. I hate that work stole my middle day. Hate them so much. I'm tired, stuff nosed, and I have a soar throat. I feel miserable, but I'm going to try to keep a happy face today. Smiles times baby!

Lots of walking lately.

The other day I spent pretty much all day with Ryan...that was a long day. Chandra went out of town and I felt like chilling out on my day off so I said sure, Ryan could hang out. I always forget that hanging out with Ryan means hearing a whole bunch about what drugs he's taking, how they're affecting him that second, and how he gets so much more/less high than anyone else. Al and Lacey came over which was cool, but also meant that I had to hear these stories AGAIN when he told them to Al and Lacey. Chandra got back into town and I bolted as soon as politely possible. Ok, maybe not even that polite.

Chandra had a really rough day which also made me grumpy, but I headed over to the park to take a walk with her with Leila in her Baby-Tank. They did some off roading before I got there. I was totally jealous. We walked around, talked about our day, and listened to possibly redneck boaters playing inappropriate music really loudly while dragging some kid on a tube. Went back to ChanChan's and fell asleep for a while then headed back home.

Yesterday I was gonna give her a break. She was excited to just go home and play video games, which I usually keep her from. That didn't last long. She called me up and I told her I'd go over and see her and we'd venture out for some soda. I get there and her eyes are in pain and she just seems not pleased, something using Beefy as a pillow always solves. We eventually started our journey to the corner store a couple blocks away. Of course...it was closed. Not only was it closed, but after I left the window to double check, a cop pulls up. The half of me that's white took center stage. Seriously though, I'm just some tall fat kid and Chandra is the picture of a cute, innocent girl. Who would suspect us of trying to break into a corner store? That'll teach me to wear sweatpants after midnight. That's how gangsters roll.

The adventure becomes grander as we extend the trip to the nearest 7-11 a few more blocks up. Chandra is some kind of great strategical mastermind, because she stole my duckets well before we had left, making it impossible for me to pay for her drink. She's the only girl I've ever met that hates it when I pay for things. I <3 her lol. But for reals, how dare her! We eventually made it back to her place and fought some crime on the steps to her apt. Lost all track of time and it wasn't until 2 or 3 until we parted ways, making plans to hang out again tonight.

Hey! Tonight's only and hour away! Yay! Oh yeah! I forgot my favorite thing! Yesterday I was feeling like shit and Chandra, because she's incredible, left me a whale cookie in my car with a note that read "Beefy - I hope you have a whale of a day! :) <3 always Chan-Chan." And on the bottom of the exclamation point there was a tiny heart. You try having a bad day after getting a whale cookie and a sugary sweet note. She's incredible! 

I found out that I was being paid something like $32 an hour yesterday. Not bad for having to come in on the 4th. Really not bad for someone without any schooling. And even though I was being paid far too much to do way too little, I jumped with joy when I got to go home about two hours early last night.

Spent a good chunk of yesterday recording and writing new stuff for the new Grammar Club project. Also came up with a new song idea I wanna pitch to Tanner to make the music and to YT and see if he wants to be on it. We also started kicking around the idea of remaking Mint Potion and seeing if someone like Frontalot or Lars would like to be on it in place of Router. I think if we can con either into getting on a track with us it would be pretty great, and I like to think we have the kind of reputation these days that it wouldn't be a wild idea to think we could get them.

I found out that from my balcony I could see like three different firework displays in the Tri-Cities. Tunes and Nick were at Josh and Nichelle's and Chandrabean was with family, so for the beginning of the night it was just me and Internet, my first and true love. Ended up having a long debate with Chan Chan about who's house we would meet up at, with the eventual result being hangouts at the Casa de Boosh. We talked and played with Leila and fought some crime, then shit got real! Chandra and Leila ended up falling asleep on my bed, and as I didn't want to disturb them, I crashed out on the couch. When I woke up around seven I discovered they had gone back home and I was all like, "Aw man they're not here anymore...woo hoo free bed!"

Had a lot to do this morning but I couldn't get out of bed. I didn't want to. I needed to run to the DOL and to the bank and I only had an hour to do so. I thought I was screwed when I got to the DOL. Bunch of people there and my number seemed to be so far away, but the process seemed to go quicker than usual and I was out of there with a new drivers license in like a half hour. Ran by the bank and that was quick and painless too. Clearly the jahova is looking down upon me and grinning. Then I made the mistake of going to Taco Bell for breakfast. It was 10:40 and McDonald's was no longer serving breakfast and I thought, "ya know, I haven't been to TB in a while and I've really wanted to." Mistake. I'm still burping.

Work is slow right now. I hope it stays this way. It allows me to blog freely. Missed a call from YT, hopefully involving Rolling Dubs. Probably won't see Chandra tonight, but she has a dork day planned tomorrow that I do hope to be involved in heavily...no pun intended. Have a great day.

The TC is a very hot and muggy place to be these days. Mad hot. Mad dry. And when a storm decides to show up, it becomes mad humid. These things matter not to Chandra, who wanted to go on a walk last night. And if it doesn't bother Chandrasaurus, it doesn't bother me. Well, not until we got back home where I described my smell as that of a "wet whore." We enlisted the help of Leilabean in our outdoor adventure, strapping her into her tiny baby SUV, complete with storage space and 6 treaded wheels in the event we want to take this shit off-road! We all discussed matters of great importance (ok, to be fair, Leila's conversational skills are limited, save for the random "oooh-ah!", "mamamamama", and assorted clicks and fart noises) including the shit we've had to put up with lately at home and work, our standards regarding others, and as usual, how amazing I find her to be. I could talk about her all day and still have more to discuss...or blog about.

We got home and gave Leila a bath. Leila and I have a steady, unspoken truce between us. I need her to like me so that Chandra will like me, and she needs me to like her so I won't eat her. She's very young and doesn't know that I wouldn't devour her. I fear the day she calls my bluff on that. I then took a shower and then got rocked at Big Brain Academy. I'm not exactly a stupid person, but my brain does work quite slowly. Afterwards she gave me a back rub and, excuse me if this is sappy and cheesey or even a little lame, but I really like it when she just has her arms around me. I'm easy like Sunday morning. The little things make me smile everytime. It started getting late so I left her with a smile and made my way home. It was a really great night, and we didn't really do anything spectacular. She's just amazing to be around.

New Grammar Club album is moving along nicely. I am however having a harder time writing this go around now that I'm not angry at any lady-folks. Shael tends to like to focus songs dealing with (and even titled) girl troubles. A while back I pitched a song called Normal I wanted to use for my next album but Shael was able to run with it and now it's going to be a GC track, which I always love. Recorded my vocals for it yesterday and I'm pretty happy with them. I had written the first two sections to much slower music, so this new version has a much faster, Girl Trouble-ish kind of flow. The song is a lot different than I had originally thought of it.

Speaking of Grammar Club, our new site still isn't up which really sucks because there are two items associated with it's launch that I really want some feedback on. Since no one really reads this, I'm going to drop knowledge here. Item One: The Grammar Club, with Jonathan Coulton's blessing, have done a cover of "Code Monkey" that I'm told is very good. It's been covered before, but not with this level of production, or an added hip-hop verse. While it would be nice to take the net by storm with this new song, my real hope is that we make ourselves and JoCo happy. The first part is done. I think it's our best sounding song thus far, and hopefully we'll be able to pass it on to JoCo soon. Item two: We're going to sell t-shirts. The design is badass as far as I'm concerned and I would really love getting pictures of people wearing and loving them! All this and more...AS SOON AS THE FRAKKIN' SITE LAUNCHES!

Ok...breath...

Lot of drinking went down at Chan Chan's the other night with Ryan, Nick, and Chandra's roommates in attendance. Chandra's roommates are weird. Ok, not so much Laura, but Laura's boyfriend is an odd bird. I'm sure he's fantastic once you get to know him...but still lol. I personally had an incredible evening. Last night sucked. All of a sudden I got really hot and my face wouldn't stop sweating. I tried taking an ice cold shower and that didn't seem to do much to help. Laid in my bed for about a half hour just trying to think of cool thoughts until I finally curled up into a ball and fell asleep for 4 hours. Freaky times indeed. Still have a bit of a headache, but everything else is starting to feel a lot better. Tonight I'm suppose to see Chandrabean which always makes me smile. Sometimes these things disintegrate, but I'm hopeful hangouts won't fall through tonight. Have a great day!

Ya know what I like? Elephants. I saw one this weekend that, while others thought he was in a bad mood due to his constant movement, I just thought he was feeling the groove. As a person who constantly dances to the music that only plays in my head, I can appreciate an animal that I can both relate to in size and in mental unstableness. Another thing that I learned while at the Oregon Zoo in Portland is that you can see a mountain lion for free, but if you want to see an animal anyone actually gives a shit about, that shit will cost ya!

Another rule of thumb: Make sure you've got cash before you get in the elephant ear line. I had no idea how popular that shit would be until I was in line for a half hour waiting for sugary deliciousness. You might also want to bring your own drink, because these people know they're your only source for a thirst quenching elixir and they're going to charge accordingly. Goddamn you supply and demand! Also stood in line with a guy who was failing so hard at being gay. He was so overdoing it and it seemed so forced that I think him and his buddy had lost a bet or something.

Went down to Ptown with Chandra. That didn't go so well. Don't get me wrong, I've been on far more difficult trips with people who just honestly suck, but Chan Chan was just not in the mood for an out of town adventure with Beef Thom. Caused a lot of ugliness and revelations that I'm still not fully over yet, but what am I going to do? I have no clue. Like any good Mexican, I live by the Laugh Now, Cry Later motto. Unlike my Mexican people however, I won't have said motto tattooed on my neck in olde english. I'm just not that olde fashion. Thankfully, I've been to Portland so many times that this doesn't even rank as my worst Portland trip. Just would have been better with a less distracted, less home sick Chandrabean. I did get to see my Portlanders again! I missed Kat and Justio and it was cool meeting Jessie for the first time, and I only wish I was there longer. I'm going to try to sneak away up there within the next two months and bug them some more.

Super High Me is a hilarious movie. It was everything I expected, but then so much more. Portions of it was very hilarious, and other parts made more sense to me than any pro or anti legalization arguments I've ever heard. It's part stand up coverage and part medical mary jane doc. The presentation is also amazing. After Doug's 30 days of sobriety, Day 1 of ganja is celebrated with a choir of angels. Now I've been a fan of stoner humor since before I sparked my first bowl. I was digging Friday and Half Baked for years. So clearly I would dig this flick, but I think that even people who don't smoke might dig it a bit too, if only because Doug Benson is very funny in my opinion.

I think that's all for now. I'm going home early cause I've been dragging ass and I honestly just want to take a nap. The rest of the Grammar Club and I just finished our cover of Code Monkey and I can't wait for you guys to hear it! Also, YT Cracker now has all of the tracks and album art for Rolling Doubles, so you should hopefully see it on itunes and amazon within 3-4 weeks. Printed CDs later...I think. I'm not really sure. I just want this to be done. Damon provides me more and more entertainment with every passing day, and he doesn't even know it. I'm kinda gonna miss him when he's gone. Have a great day.

I have no luck with people named Matt, save for my hetero-lifemate Tuna. I kind of liked it better when I was kept a secret from him. I really liked it better before he started chasing the woman who lives next door to me. I forget my keys or I'm the first to discover the door of my building is broken, and it goes through 3 people and back to me that I must be drunk. I do not like these people. Oldboy likes to play a lot of games and fuck with Chan's head in an effort to...I don't know what. I think he's trying to scare her into getting back with him. Or he's just an elite jackass who just makes it easier and easier for me to look impressive. The dude has no tact and his games upset me, but in my role I just have to sit back and do nothing for fear that I'll put ladyface in a position where she has to defend a dude who's been nothing but a pain in her ass for over a year.

I kinda really hope she doesn't read this. I probably should post that. lol

On a brighter note: I personally have had a lot of fun the last few days. Yesterday I was a grouch all afternoon, but that morning Leilabean was in an amazingly playful (and scratchy) mood. Last night after work I went and tried to help Chandra close up since she was running about a hour behind, then ended up shooting the shit with her in the parking lot for over an hour. I personally think that if our lives were put into film, parking lots would be a major setting.

Daydream Jared just threated to eat some of my soul now, and save some for tomorrow. I will have my revenge. Moving on!

Last night I hung out with Chandra and her friend and future roommate Laura. This is the first time I've really hung out with any of Chandra's friends and I was a little nervous that my quirky brand of humor wouldn't fly, but Laura is good people and a night of Smash Bro's, Warioware, and being pregnant stories was enjoyed by all (I have more "being pregnant" stories than you'd think.)

Oh yeah, the other day my good friend and hot track cohort Bethzilla posted a write up of the Seattle trip over at AtomicTown.com. If you ever wanted to see me suck ass at remembering my own words, now is your chance! Peace.

Can I tell what I, and millions of other men and women, enjoy across America?

Girls kissing.

There's just something about two girls going at it with feeling and vigor that just makes people like me smile ear to ear. I just thought I'd share that with you.

Lacey and Ryan's semi-surprise party (Ryan already knew, we mostly did it to show Lacey that we love and appreciate her) was a hit. There was fun, drinking, and a bunch of really dank snacks masterminded by Chandralier. I made brownies which she enhanced with frosting and topped with swirled white and milk chocolate chips and I made the chocolate covered pretzels with sprinkles using her well crafted techniques. She then made fruity pebble treats and a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting with white frosting and crushed oreos in the middle. We then designed it to form a weed leaf with green M&Ms and red and yellow M&Ms around it. It was amazing. I think a lot of money could be made in a special bakery for stoners.

I saw Chandra drunk for the first time. Travis got so smashed that he broke Al's door. That kind of stuff I have seen before. We tried watching The Host, but drunk people don't really pay attention to movies. I learned that while small as hell, Chandra's car has balls and it reminds me of driving my VW Rabbit where I could hit both the gas and breaks at once with my giant foot.

Oh yeah, and since my last update...shit got real. lol boosh! have a good one.

Big day tomorrow. Show day. Seattle day. Movie day. All rolled into one! I haven't done my own set since...February I think. Needless to say I'm more than a little rusty. Thankfully the place will be full of friends like Chandra, Bethany, Ryan, YT, Karl, and Dan to name a few, who have all seen me suck ass at rapping before. So I'm not that nervous.

Wow work has sucked! Turns out one of the Indian offices went down so we we've been having to take tech and general calls. I'm use to having a handful of minutes in between calls, but not today. I'm very spoiled and I had grown accustom to it.

Shitty day at work. Can't wait to go home. It took 10 hours to write this between calls and insane British/Brazilian people who spend over an hour with me wanting to know everything about a product on our website. Guess that's why I get paid the big bucks. Oi. At least my blogs aren't as depressing as Damon's. Sheesh! See ya in Seattle kids!

Behold my blogging might! Bow before my power to make you giggle! Tremble as I break your very soul with every typo! And pray to your false idols as I betray my very band with each instance of poor grammar! Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Cool.

Work work work. Tomorrow is my day off! Yay! Sadly this go-round I don't get to bask in the glory that is my middle-day as I switched my Tuesday and Thursday so I could go to Seattle and not, ya know, get fired. Pfft.

Went over to Chan Chan's last night and played hung out. We discussed things of great importance...like our competitiveness and mutual stubbornness, as well as my lack of exciting and intellectually stimulating text messages, which I believe drew her to me in the first place. We played the first level of Lego Indiana Jones and I like that I can beat her up as much as I like and not stop the game. This is why me and Kevin could never get through Double Dragon when we were younger. I also really enjoy rollos.

Today she had the day off, and between sleeping in and napping, her and Leila joined me for lunch at Josh's Fusion Cafe. Clearly the group at Josh's know that I don't have a kid, but I didn't realize that some of the coworkers that were there wouldn't have this fact stored in their databases. It's like when people ask if Gareth is my dad...only backwards. I like it, but it does feel disrespectful to oldboy. However, if Leila was my baby, I would splice her DNA with Shark DNA and wield the most powerful weapon known to man: A half shark, half baby, all adorable killing machine! That is all. Go do your homework.
