So how did my Saturday in Dc go?????

Oh we lose at home
We lose away,
We lost last week
And we lost today,
We don't give a f*ck
cause we're all piss drunk.....

METRO FC!!!!!

Yes, Metro lost 2-0 to the scum. It's not totally their fault, I mean they were only playing agaunst 3 teams that day (the Scum, The officials, and MLS....the last two were trying to make sure that 15-year old assclown Freddie "Where's your daddy" Adu make it to the finals to bosst the ratings). But at least on the trip down I got to see "Miracle." it was a great movie, Kurt Russell did a hell of a job in it. The rationale was if the Red Sox watched the movie and won 3 straight against Da Jankees, maybe this could work for Metro...though I thing the TEAM should have watched it not the supporters!!! I got home around 3am (or 2am, since I had to set my clock back an hour).

another season, another clusterf*ck ending....but it wouldn't be a Metro season without it!!!!

God must be telling me something. When you are about to be working, I'll make it so you don't. This week this happened again, though part of this is my choice, since it's a family-related thing. But hopefully next week it all turns out good and I can get work through this temp agency (BTW if anyone know of good agencies out there, let me know).

Well I guess the apocalypse is waiting for the Cubs or White Sox win something, since all existence hasn't ceased last night after the final out was recorded and Pedro hoisted the eye-sore of a World Series trophy over his head. It was also nice to see the Boston fans didn't go out and burn down the city....If they did, ironically Chicago and Boston would have another thing in common then. Come to think of it, wasn't the Great Chicago fire start after one of the base ball teams won the world series title??? HAHAHAhAHA

It sickens me to see the attention-whores of celebrities out there acting political. It just bothers me that they try to get their fanbase to vote for the candidate that pays for their attention, but then again it usually happens that the mindless sheep will follow the leader off a cliff just because they say so. So it doesn't shock me that some mindless people in the public will give their vote to the candidate that has their favorite celebrities. This makes them like the voters who only vote for anyone just to get the incumbent out of office, which makes then twice as ignorant and as dangerous. I bet you that these people that are blindly voting for Kerry just to get Bush out of office, would vote for Hitler if he was running instead of Kerry.

I"m also sick of these morons that are going the voting drives that want people to register and vote, but forget to mention that little detail about reading up on the candidates so they can make an INFORMED decision. My favorite pile of ignorance is "Vote or Die". This is where celebs run around like the assclowns that they are (some aren't even registered to vote on top of this) yelling VOTE OR DIE!!!! Well, ironically, isn't it our RIGHT to not to vote, just as it is to vote?? I'm still waiting for the campaign that has a picture of someone holding a .45 revolver to a cats head saying "Vote or we shoot this kitten!!!" It would make more sense than most of the BS that's gong on out there!!!!

not much going on today, just did the usual. Hope something good comes along tomrrow. Oh well.

Now, if anyone comes up to me after watching that Metro-DC flusterf*ck Saturday night and tells me MLS/USSF hasn't fixed the MLS Playoffs to get that 15-year old assclown into the finals, they're going to find themselves with a crushed windpipe.
Mind you, usually the refs suck when the Metros meet the scum (only one of 2 sets of refs are used). Both are for some reason rated as the best in the US, but when they do a Metro-Scum game, they look like they shouldn't be reffing a Rec. league game. Last night, I say a decreped old man (stewart) be at least 10 yards offside when he recived the pass that was the set up for the first goal. Next, amongst the several non- and phantom- calls that went in the Scum's favor, I saw the WORST non call in the history of the MLS. Late in the second half, Metros forward had the ball in the penalty area, where he was hit in the back by a defenders' elbow and shoulder and went down......AND NO F*CKING CALL!!!!!! this was in front of the ref, and every player on the field!!! If this wasn't a clear indication that Metros always play against two teams when the Metros meet the Scum, I don't know what is!!!!
I didn't even plan on going to the game Sat. night. I was trying to get plans together to hang out with someone on Saturday, but since I heard NOTHING about a yes or no as far as if she wanted to hang out, I found myself with a free day to go to the game, and was able to use the $$ I was going to use for my plans for a ticket, and enough beer to get nice and hammered before the game. I was in a bit of a bad mood about my original idea going to hell, but I'm at the point of i'm done talking to voicemail now and if she wants to get a hold of me, she's got my number.
On the bright side, my other soccer team (and one I"m a shareholder in), Manchester United, pimpslapped the Gunners today 2-0, snapping the 49-game unbeaten streak Arsenal was so proud of!!!! I wish I could have seen the entire game (on PPV, but FSW should be showing it this week on replay), but from the highlights it looked like it was a real slugfest and ManU showed everyone how great they can be.,.....now if they could play like that every week, they wouldn't be 8 points out of first and they would be owning the UEFA Champions League!!!!
Anther bright side is that the Sox are 2 games away from winning it all, and if my hunch is correct, the Earth will open up and swallow the entire city. But my other theroies is that the people of boston will turn the city into a pile of rubble, or all life and existance will end instantly when the last out is recorded. But then again, after all the celebration you could see four men on hrses with flaming swords....

What a great couple of days!!!! First I kick ass on my tests and interview at this temp agency (oculd hear back tomorrow about that), my family finally hias digital cable in the house (and I get to see Fox Sports World, the greatest soocer channel around), and tonight, I got to watch the Boston Red Sox pimpslap the Yankees to take them out of the playoffs!!!! yeah it's only to get into the world series, but the Yankees are like DC United to me....I hate them, and everytime they fail, the world is a better place (on the other hand, if they do well and win something, the terrorists win) Now if I had someone special yo share my good luck with, then things would be complete!!!!

Hopefully this weekend is also full of good luck, the Metros start their playoff series with DC Scum, just sucks that Metros have first game at home, since it's the home-and-home, total goals series, they have to make sure the Scum don't score this weekend....because away goals sount twice if their total goals is tied after both games.

Still this good fortune bothers me...I mean, it's all good now, but it's only down from here right? or is this good luck a reward for all the BS I went through the past couple years??? I ain't saying anyhing more...don't want to jinx it any more than I may have now!!!!

Ever had the feeling that everything you got you may lose in the next unstant? That's how I've felt for the past week. Maybe it's just me, maybe because I'm so neurotic about things, but I feel like I can lose all I got and I don't know exactly to do. I feel that I can lose my friends, the things I love and enjoy, and who I am real soon. Don't ask me why I or when or even how this all came up, but I've been sitting up at night, barely getting more than 5 hours of sleep at night thinking about everything. All that I can come up with is that everything that puts a smile on my face is only around hanging on a string, and that string is going to break if I do the wrong thing. Like I said, maybe it's because I'm naturally a worrier (I come from a long line of worriers, so this is for the most part how I know to live). Maybe t's just the stress with all that's been gong on lately, considering that some of the most important things in my life now I"m in limbo about....hasn't helped my situation lately.
Right now I'm at a crossroads when it comes to many different things in my life, and I don't know which path to take, since both look like they are probably filled with land mines that I would have to dance around (much like the many roads in my life that I've danced before.) All I know is that I have to make some decisions and will have to live with them. In reality, I shouldn't worry about anything. I mean, I've made tons of bad choices in mylife already and I've had to live with them, so it's not like it would be the first time I've gotten the short end of the stick. Oh well, maybe I should just take the attitude of most of the morons out there in the world (who also happen to stumble upon the better paying jobs and careers) and just coast through life with the ignorance of most of the 20-35 year old voters have/going to have this election season.
Anyway, tomrrow I go into a temp agency to ave my interview/tests tomorrow. Should be fun, I've been reading all my books abot Microsoft office today, and messing around with the programs (thank God Penn State gave away free software to it's students whrn I was there, got like $400 worth of software for free....and it was all legal!!!). I hope that I do well on these tests and impress these people so they could get me a temp gig.

-been up since 8 today painting, and i'm pooped. I never realized how big of a job it is until today. took my dad and I the entire day to ge the living room, front and back doors with trim, and the second floor celing done, and we ain't done yet!! My dad hs the entire week off, so that means the whole week he's got "projects" to do (or more accurately I have to do with him)....i've been trying to get as many interviews this week because of this.

-Apparently, looking at the score, Boston and New York are playing slow pitch softball...but watching the game I don't see any kegs near and bases. But I still think the Houston-St. Louis series is more exciting (although I'm partial to National League-style games, no DH...real baseball)

I don't know about today, it just seemed to drag on. Probably since there's a bunch of uncertainty with what's going on as far as what I'm going to do this weekend. I've been trying to make plans and all, but it's just nothing is set in stone and it just like I've been in limbo about everything.

But in this limbo I was able to get some repsonces from my resume. I not have an appointment at a temp agency next Tues. SInce i got the confirmation for this, I've been reading my "Microsoft office 200 ofr Dummies" to remember how to do some of the features on some of the programs (since I"m probably going to be tested on it). I hope something cool comes out of it, and this streak of good luck I've oddly had recently continues.

All day I've been listeninng to Green Day's "American Idiot". It's an amazing album. The only way to really hear this album is from start to finish, since it's sorta like Pink Floyd's "The Wall", just not nearly as good (it's good, but I doubt it'll be remembered like how "the Wall" is). A lot of the songs hit me in different ways, in that I can relate to what is said in some of the songs. One that really hit home (it sorta sounds like how I feel sometimes) is from "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" (you may have heard it on the radio):

My shadow's the only thing that walks behind me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Tonight I helped my dad with theliving room celing, we had to sand down some rough spots and put some primer on some part of it so tomorrow it can be painted, along with the rest of the living room. The way things are looking, this is what I will end up doing the whole day, which sucks since this is the EXACT same thing I had to do last week, just that last week it was the dining room. Who knows, maybe something else will come up and get me out of ths house!!

Today was a fun day. I went to the mall today and met up with someone i've been meaning to meet up with for a while. We spent the next couple hours hanging out, going to different stores there and in other stores on Queens Blvd. We also drove around for a little bit to talk. One big thing (for me anyway) was that I passed the "Bronx tale" test (where the person that sits in the passanger seat, in this case me, unlocks the driver-side door for the other person before they get the chance to try to unlock the door). Idea behind it is that wheather the person in the car is interested in the other person enough that they would help the other out by simply unlocking the door for them. The idea is that if they are considereate enough to do that, they are considerate enough to do many other things for the other person. If they don't do it, it shows that they are selfish and only looking out for themselves and wouldn't really care for the other person's needs...guess which part I fall in!!!
It sucked that's all we did, but for a "meet up to get to see each other in person" type thing, it was cool. What made it really cool was to actually talk in person, rather than over the net or phone. That's what made today really good, since now I know that what I thought about this person is not only true, but better.

I spent this weekend around the house the whole time. Spent Saturday helping out my dad with the painting of our dining room, which turned out PINK (my mom chose the color, so it was the right color!!!!). I was waiting to hear back from people about going out or whatever, but things didn't pan out. On the bright side I did get the chance to see the Us World Cup Qualifier, which they won and now are just about qualified for next years final qualifier stage (the "Hex", where they have to play 5 other teams twice, and make it into the top three to make the World Cup) Sunday also helped my father around the house and just sat on my ass...riveting I know!!! The most exciting thing I did all weekend was get new ringtones onto my cell phone, becaue I wanted to get some unique tones to identify people when they call me....makes it easier for me to decide if I'm going to answer the phone or have them tlak to my voicemail!!!!

Today was boring as hell, nothing really happened. Now I'm gong to get to bed and get some sleep. So far this week looks like I'm going to be hitting the temp agencies to try to get some form of work, so it's really nothing new. Wed. may prove to be interesting, that's if plans do come together between now and tomorrow night.

Friday, October 08, 2004

So the weekend is now here, and I have nothing to do. So far, all the plans I thought I was going to have, either are still up in the air, or don't look like it's going to happen. Then again, a lot of what I wanted to do did come up last minute, so I can't really bitch and moan about how much it sucks I have nothing to do.

Maybe tomorrow will bring up some good things....

Wednesday, October 06, 2004

OK, it's been a while and I'm going to let you in what's up:

-Got my results from my physical, and I have high colesterol (248, should be no more than 200), so I have to bring that down

-I never realized how much the Metros were a part of my social life until the other night. I used to be a season ticket holder to the team, (BTW that osunds like a good Christmas gift to ask for...) and that was a my social life going to gamesthroughout the summer/fall. now I just hang around the house at night watching the game on TV....God I miss tailgating and hanging out with people!!!

-finally got this damn computer back up and running tonight. Had a bunch of problems running AOL and doing internet things on it. cleard up all the riff-raff on it and it seems to be running well now.

that's all I got to talk about tonight....
