 ^__^
Yesterday pwned. It pwned greatly. It was a day of maximum pwnage. the only way yesterday could have pwned any more was if Barnes & Noble hired me. Maybe today...?
After hanging at Ernesto's house for a few, I went and picked up Julia, and we went to see Spider-Man 2. More on SM-2 in a bit...
Before I went to Julia's house, I stopped by Publix and picked up some flowers for her. They were well recieved; I got a hug. (wh00t!)
We saw the movie, then went to dinner at Quiznos. (We love the suuubs! I had a coupon!) After dinner, we walked and talked, and she let me hold her hand. ^__^
(Yes, I know how lame this may sound to some of you. I was happy, so sod off.)
Then I took her home and promised to call her later. I'm going to invite her to my house sometime and cook dinner for her.
^__^
Anyway, the cinematic masterpiece that is Spider-Man 2...if you even remotly enjoyed the first one, you'll love this one. And if you didn't enjoy the first one, what the hell is wrong with you? Are you a communist or something?
I won't be providing a detailed plot analysis, because, looking at the box-office draws, chances are likely that most, if not all, of you will see the film, and I don't wanna' spoil it.
Today, I have much e-mail and web-posts to reply to. Ciao for now! But first, quizzes!
(Stolen from my lovely wife, Bandit HJoeykuba, of course. ^^;)

clouds."
What type of eyes do you have?
brought to you by Quizilla
You are Long-wang!
Mythological Background: Yes, the dragon represents
everything you think of when you think of a
dragon - fearsome and invincible. Also, it is
greatly respected just because of that fact.
The dragon has a very protective aspect to it.
Even Jupiter reminds you of intense smashing
power. The dragon is almost always surrounded
by rain-bearing clouds and fog; and the
appearance of its constellation always signals
rainfall and lightning. It's also a symbol of
authority worn by the nobility and the imperial
class. Japanese Name: Seiryuu.
Which Chinese Mythological Being Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
Lonliness dominates you. You can hide it well, but
its there, and your friends can see it. You
constantly feel alone, and need to do things to
fill your time. Your afraid to tell people
this, but sooner or later it gets out in a bad
way, and you think you screwed up everything.
And when you are in love is when you are sad
the most. (Please Vote)
What Emotion Dominates you?
brought to you by Quizilla
Your soul is WILLFUL. You are determined and a
little reckless, and you do whatever you want
to do. You have strong opinions and are not
easily swayed, and your headstrong resolve is
not easily countered. You have few regrets.
People find your refusal to go down without a
fight formidable, and they respect you for it.
You are a proud and content soul.
What Is Your Soul's Trait?
brought to you by Quizilla
Bowling Shoes- fun, unique, and vintage, you don't
care a lot about what other people think. You
do your own thing and are your own person. You
have fun no matter what you're doing and enjoy
being surrounded by friends. You still need
your down time though![please vote! thank you!
:)]
What Kind of Shoe Are You?(new and updated results!!)

Thought of the moment: Who'd win in a fight: Dr. Octopus, or the Green Goblin?
Quote of the moment: "I'm Homsar, the captain of the gravy train!" -Homsar, "Homestar Runner"
Song of the moment:
"Fields of Athenry", Dropkick Murphys
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
Michael, they have taken you away,
For you stole Trevelyan's corn,
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.
[Chorus:]
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
Against the famine and the crown,
I rebelled, they cut me down.
Now you must raise our child with dignity.
[Chorus]
By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fall
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she lived to hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

Must...wash...off...failure...
Toys R Us wouldn't hire me. Damn them!! Well, actually, it wouldn't have been so bad if, when I got home, there was a letter from Target. They personally mailed me to tell me they couldn't hire me. ;_;
So...all of my eggs are in the Barnes & Noble basket. I need that job. A lot.
But, on the plus side, Spider-Mn 2 opened today, to good reviews. ^__^ I'll see it either Friday or Saturday, probably twice.
And...well, that's it, really. I'm cleaning the house and waiting for B&N to call tomorrow. Now, because I'm unscrupulous, I'm stealing quizes from Bandit and posting them here. :P

The End
I *will* have a job by the end of the week.
At the Toys R Us interview, the manager said that I would have a individual interview by the end of the week, and would know at the conclusion of that interview would know if I were hired.
Granted, I really would rather work at Barnes & Noble, so I'll have to play my cards carefully.
And now, I'd like to share some of my life's knowledge with you. People should not have to make the same mistakes I made.
First, all girls are crazy. They go insane at puberty, and will remain insane until the end of menopause. Don't try to fight it.
Second, never buy a comic book based on a Tv series or movie. It will suck.
Third, don't become involved in Drama. By Drama, I don't mean the course of study; I mean, people who make their lives more dramatic and complicated than they have to be. These people will only waste your time.
Never pick a fight with a teacher.
Never watch reality TV.
If an organization does something that offends you, stop buying their products. (I'm talking to you, Abercrombie and Fitch!)
Read a lot.
Don't let others make you conform to their morality or lack of morality. If you think something is wrong, tell them. Tell them why.
Never let anyone else put you down, and get away with it.
Unless that person is your boss or teacher. Then, grin and bear it.
Watch cartoons.
Do your homework. It's more of a hassel not to.
Don't have sex.
Well, I think that's everything...
Thought of the moment: Come on, Barnes & Noble....
Quote of the moment: "You can't say someone else's kid is cute while your daughter is on stage. It's like parental adultery." -Me
Song of the moment:
Blink-182 "Don't Tell me"
I hear the phone, it rings so violently
can't leave my room, can't breathe since she left me
I will admit, I hate those things I said
girls always cry, guys will never admit they did
Hold on, hold on
hold on, hold on
Don't tell me that it's over
I'm not used to this temptation
and when you come back running
there's no use for explanation
I think things are too hopeful
even with my expert knowledge
most girls do mean trouble
because they are rarely honest
What's with the jokes, all the routines they play
screw with my head, never cave in till they get their way
guys like to run, chicks like to yell, you see
guys hate to fight, girls think it's therapy
Hold on, hold on
hold on, hold on
Don't tell me that it's over
I'm not used to this temptation
and when you come back running
there's no use for explanation
I think things are too hopeful
even with my expert knowledge
most girls do mean trouble
because they are rarely honest
Hold on, hold on
hold on, hold on
Don't tell me that it's over
I'm not used to this temptation
and when you come back running
there's no use for explanation
I think things are too hopeful
even with my expert knowledge
most girls do mean trouble
because they are rarely honest
Don't tell me that it's over
I'm not used to this temptation
and when you come back running
there's no use for explanation
I think things are too hopeful
even with my expert knowledge
most girls do mean trouble
because they are rarely honest
Don't tell me that it's over
I'm not used to this temptation

Pray For DeathBug!
I think I have the Barnes & Noble job. I think. I really, really think so.
Or, I could be wrong. However, he spent the last two minutes of the interview telling me where my employee discount might be used, and for how much. (GameStop!) That doesn't seem like the kinda' thing you'd do for someone you didn't plan on hiring.
That's all, really; I'm tired. ^_^;

A job? Maybe!
Well, the end is in sight, I hope to God. I have my second job interview at Barnes & Noble (Finally! Finally!) at 11:00 on monday morning. If not that, I also have an interview at Toys R Us Tuesday at nine. I pray to God I get a job; I'm going nuts not having anything to do.
And, while I'm thinking about it, Micheal Moore can bite me.
But that's niether here nor there. This morning, I went to the offical Upperdeck tournament at Toys R Us. And I lost. Spectacularly. In the first round.
Why? Well, part of the reason was because I went against the best player in the store, and he had a Blowback Dragon to slap me around with. The other part was because I caved into pressure from other "Duelists" and corrupted my beatifully demonic deck with 733t tech cards.
Never again. I'm dueling my way, and screw what others have to sy about it. Fiends rule!
Ahem.
I need to call Julia. Right now, in fact. I have to make sure we're on for Spider-Man 2 on the first. I also need to mow the lawn tomorrow. Good; something to do.
I could always start a report on Peru for my MUN in HCC....
God, I need this job.
Thought of the moment: The two forty-year olds playing seven year olds at the tournament need to get a life.
Quote of the moment: "Yay! Brains!" -Gir, "Invader Zim"
Song of the moment:
"Gifts and Curses," Yellowcard
Mary belongs to the words of a song.
I try to be strong for her, try not to be wrong for her.
But she will not wait for me, anymore, anymore.
Why did I say all those things before? I was sure.
(She is the one), but I have a purpose,
(she is the one), and I have to fight this,
(she is the one), a villian I can't knock down.
I see your face with every punch I take,
and every bone I break, it's all for you.
And my worst pains are words I cannot say,
still I will always fight on for you.
Mary's alive in the bright New York sky,
the city lights shine for her, above them I cry for her.
Everything's small on the ground below, down below.
What if I fall, then where would I go, would she know?
(She is the one), all that I wanted,
(she is the one), and I will be haunted,
(she is the one), this gift is my curse for now.
I see your face with every punch I take,
and every bone I break, it's all for you.
And my worst pains are words I cannot say,
Still I will always fight on for you. Fight on for you ...

A Very Spider Day
Today, everything turned out to be about Spider-Man. I didn't plan it that way; it just happened ya' know?
Do you really know, or are you just humouring me?
Anyway, yesterday i went through all my stuff and had a large pile of thingd to sell or dispose of. So, I went out to profit from my Large Pile of Junk.
First stop was the electronic/game store at the mall. I had some old game to ditch. Well, nadda'. Damn.
Next, the Best Buy. The Spider-Man 2 soundtrack was on sale for $8.99. Pretty sweet, eh? It is a pretty slamming album, as soundtracks go, and features "Vindicated", that track being worth the price of admission alone.
A quick stop at the library and used book store, then to the comic shop. Out of a huge stack of twenty-five+ comics, Scott only buys three of them. Damn. Well, I used the credit to buy a long, comic-storing box. I'll get some mileage outta' that, believe you me.
I unloaded my '94 collector Marvel cards for $10, and only got rid of two CD's out of a stack of twelve. At least I got $5 out of the deal.
To Wal-Mart, where I used my quick cash to buy the Doctor Octopus figure from the movie (To go with the Green Goblin already on my credenza.) and the theatrical poster from SM2.
I stop by Ernesto's to drop by some old anime mags and a few games he might want. Then, home.
Not quite done, though. ^^; See, while cleaning my room, I came across a uncashed graduatioin check my grandmother sent me. ^^;;;; So, I cashed it.
I have an interview at Toys R Us tomorrow. Sure, now all the interviews start coming in. *rolls eyes*
Thought of the moment: Spider-Man 2 opens in seven days. ^__^ I'm seeing it with julia on the first of July.
Quote of the moment: "Boxers don't get trophies, Chubsy Wubsy! They get belts. You know belts, right? That's the thing you need a boomerang to put on." -Spider-Man, "Dr. Octopus: Negative Exposure"
Song of the moment:
"My Alien", Simply Plan
I'm sick of being alone, when are you coming home?
Just a glimpse of your face
I can remember smelling your hair, I'll meet your anywhere
Somewhere that no one can retrace
Somewhere where nobody will know our faces
[CHORUS]
She has two arms to hold me
Four legs to wrap around me
She's not your typical girlfriend
She's my alien
My alien
She knows when something is wrong, when something doesn't belong
She can read in my mind
And she can be assured that with me, there is no conspiracy
Shes not wasting her time
She can take me to the place that she calls home,
in a spaceship that will someday be my own
Please take me to your leader
Tell her I will surrender
I will surrender
[CHORUS]
My alien [repeat 4x]
[CHORUS (repeat 2x)]
I bought the astranauts kit
Now all I need's a rocket
My love, intergallactic friend
She's my alien

Damn you, Build-A-Bear!
Well, okay, maybe that's a little extreme, but I'm so damn sick of this two-interview crap. Why can't you just interview me, then decided if you want to hire me? Gahh....
Not having a job is frustrating me more and more. Barnes and Noble never arranged a second interview, Toys R Us promised to all but never did, and everyone else is "looking over applications".
I speak Spanish,i can work any hours, and I'll take minimum wage! Who can top that?!
Deep, clensing breaths....
Well...tmorrow I'm going through everything in my room. Lots of stuff, really. Probably will kill all morning.
Good. I need to keep busy, and not think about how I have to ask my parents for the cash to take Julie on a decent date. That's humiliating.
Thought of the moment: I'll give Express for Men another chance.
Quote of the moment: "I am a failure at thirty-four, and I shall stay a failure. Because, you see, I like to fight." -Bel Riose, "Foundation and empire"
Song of the moment:
Glyicerine, Bush
Must be your skin that I’m sinking in
Must be for real cos now I can feel
And I didn’t mind
It’s not my kind
Not my time to wonder why
Everything’s gone white
And everything’s grey
Now you’re here now you’re away
I don’t want this
Remember that
I’ll never forget where you’re at
Don’t let the days go by
Glycerine
I’m never alone
I’m alone all the time
Are you at one
Or do you lie
We live in a wheel
Where everyone steals
But when we rise it’s like strwaberry fields
I treated you bad
You bruise my face
Couldn’t love you more
You got a beautiful taste
Don’t let the days go by
Could have been easier on you
I couldn’t change though I wanted to
Could have been easier by three
Our old friend fear and you and me
Glycerine (repeat)
Don’t let the days go by
Glycerine
I needed you more
When we wanted us less
I could not kiss just regress
It might just be
Clear simple and plain
That’s just fine
That’s just one of my names
Don’t let the days go by
Could’ve been easier on you
Glycerine

Thebe Thebe Thebe
Theban Nightmare. I needed it, and I pulled it. ^__^ No End of Anubis yet, though. :(
And Cartoon Network changed its logo. It's the end of an era.
I have an interview at Build-A-Bear tomorrow. Yay.
The end of Ultimate Spider-Man #61 was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen in a Spider-Man comic.
I really don't have anything to talk about, so...
Thought of the moment: "Duel Masters" is getting good.
Quote of the moment: "I won't let my hair hold me back! A real man follows his heart!" - Wisdom for the ages by Bokuto Ryu, "Shaman King"
Song of the moment: (New feature!)
"Vindicated", Dashboard Confessional
Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated, I am
{Chorus}
Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me
So isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that I am
{Chorus}
So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away (3x)
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away (4x)
{Chorus}
Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

Hmmm, tweaking
Rayne, what I meant was, I heard the speech repeated on the news several times after I had already heard it live. He doesn't repeat his speeches.
Yeah, I did some tweaking to the site; finally added everyone in my Guestbook to my Friends list. Yup, yup.
I'm a creep for loosing touch with Li-Chan. I've been really busy, lately, but it's not an excuse. I must remember to do better in the future.
So, I was posting on a political topic on the OB, and who should respond to me but Cloricus. Now, I cited one of his replies, so I guess I should have expecrted what was coming...
Everything I've ever read by Cloricus seems to indicate that he has...issues, shall we say, with America. So, naturally, his views and mine came to a conflict.
Difference between us? I didn't call him a wanker, a follower, a small-minded person, or a sheep.
My first inclination was to respond in kind, but I caught myself. Screw that; I never give anyone the satisfaction of making me lose my temper. (If I can help it.)
I decided, you know what, if he wants to be a jerk, that's his perogative. I'm going to laugh, and turn the whole thing into a joke.
And, you know what I then came to realise? That defense would work against any other jerks I might encounter. Rather than retaliate in kind, it'd be much more satisfying and effective to just laugh it off. Less stressful, too.
Don't worry, be happy.
Thought of the moment: Senator McCarthy was actually an admirable man.
Quote of the moment: "If no one else was violent, I could conquer the whole stupid planet with a butter knife." -Dogbert, "Shave the Whales"

Hail to the Cheif
Well, recent polling data suggests a little more than half of those reading this post will think it was cool,while the rest will tell e I should have thrown stuff at the stage.
Anyway, I saw President Bush, live, at hiss peech at MacDill Air force Base. It was pretty neat, I guess. I've already heard the speech three times on the news, but it was cool to finally see a president in person.
Seeing Air Force One gave me a new goal in life: to jump on a bed in an airplane.
