Donut Saves City of Chicago!!! No One Notices.

It was reported late Saturday afternoon that a giant donut named George saved the City of Chicago from and alien invasion. For the most part, no one noticed… It was stated in the police report that an eye witness just shrugged it off saying “Meh, this kinda crap happens all the time, I have to get back to work now.”

So, how could this have happened? Alientologist Bud Knudson says that it is common knowledge that donuts and aliens do not get along. In fact, there is plenty of documentation out there claiming that donuts and aliens have been fighting a war with each other for thousands of human years.

Uncovering the aliens plan to take over the city of Chicago, The Alien Liberation of Donut Planet (ALDP) quickly came to the rescue of the U.S. Government by sending their elite agent “George” to eliminate the alien threat. George, who has won many medals of honor on his planet Derk Derk 3, has been part of the counter-alien world domination league for quite some time. One of his most notable achievements was the assassination of Alien president Magniknok in the battle of Unicorn Planet. “For the last thousand years, we have effectively been able to stop the drain the alien civilization has caused to Donut Planet, and it’s surrounding sister planets Sprinkle 1 and Sprinkle 2.” says ALDP president Steven McDoughnaught.

Although the fight is far from over, the ALDP has made numerous improvements on the battlefront. They have also signed a treaty with the U.S. Government to create an alliance with the ALDP. George W. didn’t have much to say until after he realized he took a bite from the ALDP presidents rear thigh. He then said, “He may not have sprinkles, or filled with delicious jelly, but that’s one damn good donut!”

Since the event, Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts have seen increased business from police officers. The Chief of Police in Chicago had much to say on the subject. “For the first time in any police officers life, Donuts have saved the lives of millions… they will now be part of the Chicago Police’s standard measures and practices. Donuts can now be considered a health food item!”

So, 28 weeks later is apparently not at the theater anymore... looks like I'm gonna have to wait on this one. Worked out though, I ended up getting some pita house w/parker, then we watched "the dead girl" with some of Parkers friends from school. Not that bad of a movie, a little on the weird side, but there were a lot of jokes going on, so that may have helped it out a little. I saw the preview to that 1408 movie, w/john cusak. I think I'm probably gonna check that one out.

Poker Night

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 13:50:21 GMT

So, i ended up playing poker last night. It was a good time. Don was there. I was really glad to see him there. He said that if he wasn't short the few bucks he needed for his bus ticket, he would have been in Jersey. I was glad he was short, and he was too. I guess whatever it was got worked out. I also somehow stayed in the game last night. I lost a decent stack of chips on one hand, went all in and got lucky that i had 10 chips left over. I thought i would be out for the night, but somehow built my stack back up. I left with an extra 20 bucks after paying Don back his money, and what i initially put in. That was cool. I also called my mom yesterday, and she's calmed down a bit, so everything is good there. Things are finally starting to even out. I'm glad.

can't wait

Tue, 19 Jun 2007 21:15:55 GMT

Ugh! It's 5 o'clock and i can't wait to get out of work. Tired for some reason. I went to sleep super early last night too...@ 10. I've been listening to "The Dear Hunter" a lot lately, and that shit is pretty damn good. The music is is really damn good and very creative. You can tell where they borrowed some stuff, but they did it in a good way. Act I is probably my favorite of the two, but i guess that doesn't count since it's one long story, Act II is definitely growing on me though. Did i mention i was tired? I know when i get home I'll get a burst of energy and won't be able to sleep. Sux. Too bad all the shows that i watch have already ended their seasons, cause I'm pretty excited about having the week off from practice, and i don't feel like playing poker tonight. Joel's birthday is today, so we made plans to go see 28 weeks later tomorrow. That should be good. I'll let you know how it goes. blah!

Tue, 19 Jun 2007 19:51:31 GMT

Matt made the call, and he meets with them tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed.

j.o.b.

Tue, 19 Jun 2007 17:02:43 GMT

Today i got a phone call from masstar signs. I guess it was the owner, his name was steve. Anyway, i had applied there a about two years ago,and he called me to see if iwas still looking for a job. We chatted about an old company i used to work for, southeastern products, he apparently worked there when it first opened up. anyway, i explained to him that i had a job, but had a friend who would be interested, had sign experience, etc. It's a pretty big company, a they just got a new building and were looking for a new designer. He told me to have my friend give him a call, they were hiring. So, after i got off the phone with steve, i immediately called parker excited to let him know the good news, and parker just had that "um" sound in his voice and said he would think about it and call back later. He ended up texting me back with a "that's ok, I'm cool" message. Wtf! He complains about not having benefits, not making a lot of money, bored at work, and no vacation time. I talked him up to the guy, and he wasn't even interested in calling? Good jobs are hard to come by, and this one fit his skill set, and he didn't have to do any leg work to get his foot in the door. I guess i could understand that he already comfortable where he's at, i would probaby feel the same way at this point in my job, but i wouldn't throw it away without finding a little more about it though. I sent him back a "what?" message with an explaination, and he said that he would call them during his lunch. I hope he does, cause it would give him a lot of experience that would help him out with school, benefits, vacation, and most importantly more money. I still got some time left at lunch, i'm gonna take a nap.

The Show

Fri, 15 Jun 2007 06:48:07 GMT

What a great end to a great night

series finale

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 03:22:46 GMT

I'm glad the Sopranos are over, the only thing that bothered me about the ending was their choice of music. I really don't think Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" was the right choice. Just didn't seem to fit. This last season seemed kinda rushed as well. I wanted to see some shit go down, but "meh" it doesn't matter.

bored

Fri, 08 Jun 2007 18:00:10 GMT

Work is kinda slow again today. I'm bored and i'm tired today. I decided to go home for lunch and take a nap but it didn't help much. Everyone from work decided to go to cheeseburger in paridise for lunch, and on most normal occasions i would have been happy to tag along. Today is different though. I guess i'm still kinda feeling awkward from drinks after work yesterday. We went to city range. For some reason I'm not a big fan of that place. It seems like everytime we go there it's not the same atmosphere as our usual place (buffalos). Also, we had a few more people than usual too, so it really makes for different conversation. I used really enjoy going for drinks after work a lot, but now if i do go, i usually don't hang out very long and try to figure a way to get out of it. I kinda think it's kinda because my friendship with Emily has changed. We were pretty close friends for a little while, but recently I had this feeling like she was trying to hide something from me. And she was. It was nothing major at all, but if we were friends, why would she want go out of here way to avoid telling me things that don't matter. We used to joke around a lot and have a good time, but now i just don't feel like even talking to her sometimes. I've even gone whole days only having work specific conversations. I guess it's cause if you're my friend i need to feel like i can trust you about anything. Nothing is hidden.. I don't trust her anymore. That's a shame.

Ugh!

Fri, 08 Jun 2007 13:23:01 GMT

i think i had few too many beers last night. My head is pounding, and i was late to work. I was dreaming about being in a wedding and couldn't get my shit together. I don't know who's wedding it was, but i think it was cross b/w my bro's and my dads (which is coming up next weekend). It was weird cause i went to the wrong church, then i got dressed but didn't wear the right pants. I had also forgot to get a present, so i rushed out and found this store with all kinds of cool stuff, but everything was either broken or missing. I kept telling myself "find something, find something now! You're late!" i woke up right after that and it was 8:08 am. I was already late for work. Ugh! Emily is in a strange mood this morning. Very giddy, it's almost annoying, but ithink it's just my mood. I still need to wake up, this could be a fun day if i could just snap out of it. What i was talking about @ the end of my last post is still on my mind. Will it ever leave? I certainly hope so.

practice

Fri, 08 Jun 2007 03:58:24 GMT

Band practice was really effing good tonight. I think it was the first time there wasn't some sort of bullshit going on. That's a good sign. I really haven't felt confident about the upcoming show until tonight. The is my chance to prove to myself that i can do it. It's getting late and i don't want to work tomorrow. I got some slight drama going on there, it's my fault, but if i'm up to it i will tell you about it later. Peace.

tickets

Thu, 07 Jun 2007 17:20:27 GMT

I asked my co-worker about the poison tickets cause i really want to go, but i get the feeling that she's not going to find out for me. That really blows, cause it's next wednesday, and that leaves tomorrow for me to find out, since the person who finds that shit out for me will be gone all next week. Lame. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed.

wild wings

Thu, 07 Jun 2007 17:16:06 GMT

So, i went up to wild wings in spartanburg w/my bandmate josh to drop off the flyers for our show next thursday. I'm actually suprised @ how nice it is. I makes me feel a little less nervous about the show now that i've seen where we are going to be playing. Being that it's a bit of a drive to sparkle city, we had a chance to talk about all the bs w/the band, and I definitely feel better about that now too. We should hopefully be changing uor sound and probably the band name too. In my opinion, i think it's great considering the only original member in the band is brent (the lead guitarists). I'm really hoping that everyone in the band wants to push themselves to be as creative as possible and not be stuck on the mundane cruch 4 bar progressions that make up the bulk of the songs created before i joined the band. Anyway, i guess we will see what happens.

On with the show

Wed, 06 Jun 2007 21:00:18 GMT

The Melt Banana/Tool show last night kicked ass! I had a great time. Did i mention box seats @ half price? Fuck yeah! I'm gonna try to get a hold of some Poison/Ratt tickets the same way. That shit will probably rock as well.

My bro's wedding.

Sun, 20 May 2007 21:57:03 GMT

So, my bro is getting married this weekend. It's kinda crazy thinking about it, but i guess it was eventually going to happen. Anyway, i've got a bunch of stuff to do to prepare for it, but the only thing I'm really worried about my "best man" speech. I don't know why it's a problem, but i guess that kinda thing makes me nervous for some reason.

Word Up...

Tue, 15 Aug 2006 12:22:59 GMT

this site is hilarious...http://www.dictionaraoke.org check it out.

Mon, 14 Aug 2006 17:57:25 GMT

So, I finished touching up a wedding photo for my grandparents... it was given to me a while back to fix up... I've been working on it whenever I've had a few minutes to spare. It took forever, It was really messed up. It's a really neat photo though, at least I think so anyway. It's from like 1955. I think they will be happy w/it. I went and dropped a disc to get them printed out at wolf camera at lunch today, hopefully they will turn out good. I guess I will find out after work.

the weekend

Mon, 14 Aug 2006 17:47:56 GMT

So, It was a pretty laid back weekend... I had to work friday, which kinda sucked, but oh well it happens. I also went to sleep like at 9pm, I was out.

Saturday was a bit dissappointing. well, not really, It's just that parker and I went looking at places to live in the downtown area. It was unfortunate cause there wasn't really anything for rent, and what we did find was way above our price range. I guess we could afford it, but then we wouldn't have any money to do anything else. So, anyway, it looks like we will be getting an apartment. that's cool though, It would be for a year or so, then we can evaluate our situation once our lease is up and decide if we want to move somewhere else.

I am really excited though, my sister sold me her washer and dryer set. Awesome... yeah, I know, most people wouldn't get excited about that, but it's been like since months, at least, now since I've been able to wash clothes at my house. I hate the laundromat, and I had to drive all the way out to spartanburg to wash clothes at my sisters house, and then hang out all day till they were done. Not anymore, ha!

Sweetness!

Wed, 09 Aug 2006 14:21:26 GMT

I just found out that I get four hours of overtime for being on call saturday...that's awesome...a free 4 hours, and it's ot pay, and I didn't do a damn thing. Kick ASS!!

getting paid....

Wed, 09 Aug 2006 13:01:26 GMT

So, I finished up that CD cover and got paid yesterday... That's pretty cool. I feel bad, I kinda think I took all the money they had saved up, but it wasn't much... they got a really good deal. Anyway, it will give me a little extra cash for the weekend, I've gotta call jc today and see if going up to charlotte is still in the plans. If not, then I might do some shopping. I haven't bought myself a good present in a while, I think it's due.

I want to get and Ipod hookup for my car... I've been meaning to get one of those for a while now. I'm not much for burning mix cd's, cause I never really know what I will be in the mood for later. I think I just got used to it from my old car, put that shit on random and let it suprise me. It was kinda like my own personal radio station playing all the music I like. Right now, I just listen to the same CD's over and over, or nothing at all. I would bring a CD pouch w/me, but I stopped doing that after I lost a huge one w/all my favorite stuff on the way to charlotte one weekend. It bummed me out. I didn't feel like buying all that stuff again, I think that's when I pretty much stopped buying CD's.

Anyway, I started to clean out my closet the other day... I figured it would help me feel like I'm getting closer to moving out of my house. I decided to go through all of my clothes and toss out what I didn't wear, and what's way too big for me now. Let's just say that I'm actually down to almost nothing, I've got a huge pile of stuff that's gonna go to goodwill. It's cool though, moving I mean, I like the fact that it's an opportunity to find all kinds of cool stuff you forget you have. It's also a good time to get rid of things you don't need anymore. It's kinda like starting over. It's a change, and change is always good.

New cover design

Tue, 01 Aug 2006 17:36:03 GMT

Anyway, Here is the new cover design for "A beautiful tragedy". I really should have had this thing done a long time ago, but I just never got around too it. anyway, I finished it up yesterday and sent it to them, and they loved it. That's cool, as long as they are happy w/it, I'm happy w/it.

I feel like shit today. I started a cold on Sunday, and it keeps progressively getting worse all the time. I have done nothing but sleep for the last few days, it's all I can do from feeling like shit. Being at work doesn't help at all either. I wouldn't be here if I didn't need the money. fuck. I just want to go home.

Mon, 31 Jul 2006 04:48:37 GMT

Think I took to long of a nap today... now I can't sleep. sucks.
