Thur 08/05: my best friend Nydia is in a new music video with Van Hunt!! Nydia is amazing in this video. she is the hottest girl ever!! i love this girl so much!! i just got off the phone with Nydia and she was calling me from Cali!! i am so proud of her!! she was calling me because she wanted to see how i was doing and was so concerned about me and my mom. Not only is she drop dead gorgeous, but Nydia also has such a huge heart. that is why i love this girl so much!! we have been there for each since we were little kids. i still remember when i first saw her before she even did modeling and i always told her that she was so beautiful. and not only on the outside but a beautiful person on the inside. Nydia would always help the people around her and would go out of her way to come out to all of my birthday parties. i knew that she was so busy with her career but she always made time. Nydia, you are my fire and we will be best friends forever!! also i can't wait for the day when we will both collaborate!! We will blow the advertising industry away. you are so fine!! hands down.. now everyone eat up this music video.. Love you Nydia!!
 
Redskins Game tonight!!
Mon 08/09: you don't know skins like we know skins!!
i'm leaving to Orlando for the weekend!!
[ at Abercrombie: what i bought for my 2nd Orlando trip with Damaye: A&F shirt and jeans ]
Wed 08/04: i'm actually really stoked. i will be staying with Natalie and Josh at their new apartment this weekend!! they just put in their big screen plasma screen TV and then Josh is going to make us dinner. Mmm.. i can't wait!! we're going to have so much fun this weekend!! we will be hitting up all the cool malls and then later that night hit up some of O-Town's infamous nightclubs!! see you all next week!! Weekend in Orlando!! Part One: i had THE best time in Orlando this weekend!! omg.. so much has happened. i don't even know where to begin? i look back and i would not trade these moments for anything else in the world!! go ahead and grab that Starbucks cuz it's going to take a while. or if you live caffeine free like me, then this is your chance for bathroom breaks. go ahead.. i'll wait.. ..pause.. ..okay, so this is what went down this Thursday night: i packed light because i always end up packing like three suit cases wherever i go somewhere because you can never be too sure. but i only brought one bagpack and like three shirts and pajamas. Genevieve did the same thing too. we packed light. Can you imagine? so she came and picked me up at my house and we stacked up on junk food at Target for the long drive out to Orlando. it's not really that bad actually but when you are able to listen to a burnt CD four times round, we consider that to be a trip to Egypt. we were so cute too because we both had on regular t-shirts and jeans walking all around Target. omg, so we went down the chips isle because i am a fatty and i stopped for a moment and Genevieve and I looked at each other like, 'what the hell is that horrid smell?' and it was this one guy in front of us!! We literally had to cover up our noses and run for dear life. we busted out laughing so hard the whole way to the front registers where we could catch a few deep breaths. we tried to beathe out of our mouths that's how bad it was. but it was so hilarious!! we were like, 'what in the world did that man eat?' and 'how many deoderant sticks would it take for that smell to go away?' ha. Genevieve was literally going to open up a can of air freshener and spray it down that isle. i couldn't stop laughing!! so we waited a few minutes and finally the stench went away and so we got our chips and dip. fatt-tee!! We got into the car and Geneveieve uses her elecronic map like they do on OnStar and we get directions on how to get out to Orlando. so we were set. we had junk food and we also had music. we were ready to 'roll out' like Ludacris. i got to try the NEW Coca Cola!! it tastes like the old brand but it supposed to be healthier. ha. that is like saying that you can have KFC and not worry about gaining any calories. riiigghht!! but it does taste good so ya'll have to try it sometime. we drove out to Orlando and Justin called us. he is dating Genevieve now. what a small world too because i know Justin!! he is my Hyde Park Cafe buddy. so Genevieve was asking me if i wanted to hit up the gym next week at USF and i'm like 'hell yeah, i'm down' so she was like, 'good, you are now my new workout buddy!!' i need to hit up the gym too and let me tell ya'll i have been so lazy lately and i haven't been on a treadmill since J-Lo and Ben. yeah.. that is a long ass time ago. Genevieve was telling about her Sorority and Zeta's freaking rule!!! hell yeah!! i can't wait till school starts cuz everyone is waiting for me to party with them. i have been getting so many e-mails asking, 'when are you going to go out?' and I say, soon people.. really soon!! so we had the best time on the way to Orlando. i mean we talked about everything!! i love those long ass talks because those are the ones that you remember. so we get to Natalie's and we're signing her card that i made for her and Josh and here comes Natalie opening up Genevieve's door!! we were like, 'Natalie, don't look!!' but she was like, 'Arthur.. is that card for me?' cuz she had already saw what we were doing. awww.. dammit!! so we came into her new apartment and it looks amazing!! Josh had just finished painting the walls, and plus their furniture was finally here!! i'd like, 'where did you buy this?' and then look over and see something else that i liked and say, 'where did you buy this one?' it is a cute cute apartment!! so Josh is starting the Culinary Program out in Orlando and Natalie will be going to USF for Dental. so we all celebrated because we were all moving forward with our lives. We were all in really great positions so we all had to Celebrate!! i am so lucky to have such amazing friends and they keep reminding me how special i am to them!! do you have any idea of how much that means to me? it's like, 'wow, i found heaven on Earth.' or it's like one of those Sierra Mist commercials where it's: 'yeah it's like that.' really, i thank God so much for being so loved by so many different people. it's like i have so many people who confide in me and consider me as their best friend and i am so appreciative of that. some of my friends don't even hang out with anyone else but they will call me up to chill. They always tell me, 'Arthur, you are such an amazing person..' and how do you even reply to that? it is so helpful too especially through these rough ass times. Like Natalie and Josh always remind me how much i mean to them and how i will always be a big part of their lives, and then my best friend Sheena called me today and told me that me and Jen are the only two people she ever kept in touch with through all these years, then Nydia called yesterday to tell me that i am her best friend and that i mean the world to her. and i think to myself, this is so much to take in all at once. i mean my heart can't even take it. so i say again, 'i love my perfect life' because i do!! people have no idea how lucky i am to have had such AMAZING and loving parents, and i can't even stress how much i love and cherish my time with my parents and they both have taught me so much about life and what it truely important so i live my life each day as if it were to be my last and i give it my all because you never know. and i am so lucky to have such a strong family who is always there whenever i need them.. literally, and such amazing friends who always make me smile even at the most hardest times of my life and can tell me, 'it will be okay because we are all here for you' and then to have the edjucation that i have and the future that i know will come. It is just amazing!! i always try to help as many people as i can because i think that is just the type of person that i am. geeze!! Can someone hand me some tissues please? i can't even begin to describe this feeling!! and no i am not on drugs. ha!!all i know is that the feeling is so great and natural that i am so blessed!! Thank you God for all my blessings. i owe you big time!! so Josh made us drinks and he was like, 'Arthur, are you ready?' and i'm like 'for what?' and he was like, 'For these Jegar shots!!' i'm like, 'awww damn!!' i looked at it and i'm like, 'what the hell? tonight we're calling all the shots!!' so we took two shots each!! and i was wasted!! i felt so freaking good because i was with my best friends and i was in Orlando. so we drove down to Downtown and went into this nightclub: Tabu. it is co-owned by Nick Carter and this club is huge!! what they did was take this full size theatre -The Beacham Theatre- and turned it into a nightclub. you first walk in and you see this small room so you think to yourself, 'are you for real?' but then they are just kidding because you walk up the stairs and you then see this huge huge dancefloor and it is just a wave of people. so we got our drinks and Josh and i ordered Southern Comforts and the girls got Long Island Iced Teas. we were so kruunnkk!! we had a blast at Tabu. i mean we were tearing it up on the dancefloor. i even got some of it on video on my new digital. We had so much fun!! they were playing our jams left and right and it was so hard to stop dancing. so the club was finally closing because Orlando has this 2am curfew which i personally think is ridiculous because people come to Orlando to party but it was all good cuz i was all danced out and ready to head back to Natalie's apartment. so we get there and i start laying down on Natalie's leather couch. it was so comfortable and Josh kept saying, 'don't fall asleep because i am about to cook you guys some food.' and i'm like, 'okay, but i am just going to lay down here for a few minutes and rest my eyes.' and those were the last words i remember because the next thing i knew, i was waking up and Natalie was next to me and Josh was next to her. I'm like, 'how did the futon get set up?' i didn't remember anything. man, those Jegar shots got me good!! my head was pounding so i pulled the covers over my head and slept for a few more hours. i had such a great time but that next day.. sheish!! the aftermath is notorious!! so then Josh made us breakfast then got ready for his interview at Carabas and Natalie and i were so excited because we were going to hit up Florida Mall that has just opened up in Orlando. We had these huge ass Kool-Aid smiles on our faces!! you should have seen us. so we dropped Josh off at his interview and me and Natalie looked at each other and said, 'are you hungry?' cuz all we could think about was food. so we had lunch at the Orlando Ale House. Natalie ordered some quesadillas and i got the fish dish with rice. i just have to have my rice!! then Josh finally called Natalie on her cell phone and so she went and picked him up and brought him to lunch. They both walk up to me with these sad puppy dog faces and Josh goes, 'man, i didn't get the job..' but then i looked over at Natalie's face and she had a huge smirk on her face and i'm like, 'Natalie!! ..yeah right!!' ha. i so caught them both!! Then Josh was like, 'sike!! i got the job!! and i start my second interview on Monday to be their new Chef.' and i'm like, 'Yay!! Congratulations Josh!!' i am so happy for them!! Josh and Natalie both have jobs now!! yay!! and yay for Jager!! so then after lunch we went to The Florida Mall where we had this awesome Tea at this cool ass tea shop called Teavana. This tea was so freaking awesome!! we must have said the word 'wow' like fifty times!! so we each got drinks and then headed over to Abercrombie and Fitch where Josh got a job offer. They are forever asking him to work there. But he was polite about it and told them, 'no thanks, but thanks anyway.' Josh told me how he hated his job because 'you can only fold those damn t-shirts one too many times till where you'll want to go and pull all of your hair out.' Ha. They had a ton of cool ass shirts so I ended up getting another shirt and this will be shirt number 253 that i got this month. My closet is going to hate me after this weekend!! i'm telling you. so we walked by and saw these cool ass chairs that massage your back so we each took turns and were like, 'oohh ahhh'.. and these chairs were actually affordable. I really want one of those automans. i want to take one home with me. and then we went to Sephora where Josh and I each got Lab Series facial wash to help keep our Noxima Commerical skin and Natalie got this skin care stuff for her face too. Already we could feel our faces getting cleaner as we picked stuff off the shelves. Josh and i looked at so many different fragrances and I really like the Versace Blue and it smells so good!! it's like one of those Fabreeze commericals where that one girl keeps opening up her closet. When i first saw that commercial i was like, 'this girl is suffering from OCD.' but then after the commercial was over i was like, 'oohhhhh.. okay. that makes sense to me now.' ha. but i have enough bottles of cologne as it is. i can open up my own cologne stand with what i have. but you can never have too many. you know what i mean? i have like fifty bottles at home and i never know which one to use. so then we headed off to Dalton's Bookstore where Natalie bought 'The Notebook' and she keeps telling me that I MUST watch the movie because it is so good!! so now i want to go see it so bad. By the time we were done with the mall, it was so late and we had to head back to Tampa. and this is where i am at now and i'm thinking, i can't wait to o back!! I'm going back to Orlando tomorrow only this time i will be heading out with Damaye. we still do not know which clubs we will hit up, but hopefully this time we get to go to Church Street. I am so excited!! 'i can't wait.. i can't wait' like Outcast. Later ya'll!! how southern am i with my ya'lls? geeze!! Now lets go make grits. jk!! To Be Continued.. Part Two: This weekend has been so incredibly amazing!! O-Town is definately a place where a person can go and unwind. Not only did i get to buy a lot of cool outfits, but i also got to wear some too!! i gave a lot of my clothes away and I'm still rummaging through some more of my things because i can't fit everything into my new room. I wish I could but I need to say good-bye to some of these things that I've held onto for all these years. For instance, do I really need to keep all of my old Abercrombie bags? i always tell myself that one day i will use them but it always just stays in my closet and collects dust. so today me and my friend Josh spent the entire afternoon studying for our Meteorology test. I can't wait to get these damn summer classes over with!! Really.. i am so over it. I will blink my eye and pretty soon it will be time for my Fall classes. i am excited though so i can't try to act like I'm all against the whole college thing. I am actually Pro-college. along with Pro-party and Pro-keg. so I left my cell phone charger over at Natalie's apartment so i have to go back to Orlando this weekend to go get it. Josh even asked me before i left, 'did you grab everything?' i think i was still half asleep leaving his apartment. so i won't be having a cell phone all week unless Jenn can hand me over her's for the meantime. But she is forever doing me favors so i really don't want to ask her for it. Nevermind. i will get back to you guys about this weekend, i just have to get back to studying.. and also my dogs are so cute.. Chilli and Candy are both passed out on my bed. They are some crazy ass rascals. Today Chilli wanted to eat my chicken nuggets and i'm like, 'you better back off little guy.. these are my chicken nuggets!! you better drive down to McDonald's and buy your own!!' jk.. i ended up giving him a french fry. anyway, The Redskins vs Bronco Game is tonight!! watch it!! hope everyone is wearing maroon and gold!! -> to view the rest of this entry, go to my Toooqt4u4 site!! <-

Elly's b-day dinner at Kobe's
[ my little niece Maya!! what a cutie patootie!! - the kids at Kobe's: Maya, Steven, Jenesi, and Tori - dinner at Kobe's Japanese Steakhouse - my beautiful sister Elly.. Happy Birthday Elly!! ]
Tues 08/03: we're going to Kobe's Japanese Steakhouse for dinner tonight!! it's my sister Elly's Birthday and me and my sister Consuelo went to International today and we bought her a NEW purse from Coach. it is really cute!! i am so excited for her to open up her present!! ..also i got a shirt for me from Abercrombie too. ha.. it says: "Casting Director" how funny. I can't wait to wear it out this weekend. anyway, sushi here we come!! Later!! also Happy Birthday Elly!! We Love You!! Wed 08/04: last night was so much fun at Kobe's. my sister loved her gift!! she called me up today and told me how much she loves it!! i told her that we took forever picking it out too. so right as we got seated, we had a Russian waiter. I'm just going by the accent here so bare with me. but then we looked over at his name-tag and it is an Italian name. so.. we had an Italian named, Russian accented waiter working at a Japanese steakhouse. Like my best friend Jenn would say, 'strenge, berry berry strenge.' ha.. i love you Jenn!! so we order our dinners and i had no idea what was in store for me. i have been to a few great restaurants before but nothing like this one. i've lived such a ghetto life that i was deprived of Japanese steakhouses. just kidding. But i have never been to one of these things and so when our Chef came out and started spinning knives all up in the air and juggling onions and mushrooms around, i was pretty impressed. I mean usually when i am juggling stuff around the kitchen it's just me spilling stuff onto the floor. so that doesn't count. so my sister opened up her gifts and one of the gift that DJ got her was a VISA Credit Card for West Shore Mall. how freaking cool is that? i'm like, 'damn Elly!! that has 'swipe me' written all over it!!' then finally she opened up my gift. My sister Consuelo had been egging for her to open it before we even got to Kobe's. she was like, 'why can't she open it now?' and i'm like, 'no.. wait till dinner!!' She can never keep a secret and she doesn't like surprises. She can be trying to Punk someone on MTV and would mess it all up. so when she opened the Coach box, it didn't really leave much to the imagination since the box did say Coach on it, so it's not like she didn't know where it was coming from. But she absolutely loved it!! she has been wanting a black purse too because black really matches with almost everything. Not like the girl doesn't own like 50 purses already, but this one was cute. The kind of cute that you are like, 'okay now let's go adopt a baby.' so then after dinner, about fifteen sushi rolls later, i was so stuffed!! i couldn't fit anymore food into my stomach. oink oink.. geeze!! i am such a freaking fatty!! i was at Publix today talking to Jenn on my Nextel and i'm like, 'mmm.. i want some Publix fried chicken..' and she was like, 'you are forever talking about food.' i knowwww.. it's so bad!! well i will be working out at the USF gym soon so let's all cross our fingers and toes that i get to the gym instead of getting to the McDonalds drive thru. anyway, my sister had a great birthday and the kids had a lot of fun!! i was so excited to see that cool place and to also hang out with my older sister on her birthday. she is so cute too!!! Happy Birthday sis!! you are finally 24!! yay!!.. wink wink!! Love you!! and when you are ready to use that VISA credit card you let me know when and where. i'll be there!! Happy Birthday Elly!!

Leo and Ray's Birthday Party
i don't even know the damn date so don't even ask me!! sorry, i'm just bitter cuz I missed all of favorite shows on television. How bad is that? i don't even have time for TV!! i remember the good old days where i'd wake up like around 2pm and i had all my friends hating on me cuz i'd be calling them up at their job while i sat and watched I Love Lucy re-runs. good old days!! i want them back. but instead i took the book-worm way out and took summer classes that last for like five hours, and i don't know why we have to be there for five hours because i started falling asleep on the third. anyway, We got so trashed this past weekend. It took me like twelve hours to freaking recover. I needed a respirator but my Medical Insurance does not cover that. It will be hard to re-cap on every little detail because so much has happened and half the things that did happen are long lost along with the original ballots from the last Presidential Election. So okay, what to write first? I guess I will start off with where I left off. So it was my best friend Megan's Birthday and we had planned to go to Shepard's but instead, Hurricane Andrew decided to come by Florida. Just kidding, but the weather here does suck. Seventy percent chance of rain. Can we all just stand outside with a steel rod in our hands and wait to get struck by lightning? Geeze!! I have better luck playing The Florida Lottery. I will check the box, 'No rain on the weekends' and hope that the bill will passed. Instead of the birthday beach party, we took Megan to International Plaza instead and the girls went to go guy outfits for Leo and Ray's Birthday Party. We went into Guess and Megan was looking at some of the jewelry. Well of course I was right behind her watching her real carefully because I still needed to buy Megan a birthday gift and how perfect would that be to see exactly what she likes and have her not know that I will go and buy it for her. So we looked at a few Guess rings and Megan found this turquoise one that she really really liked. So then we were all like 'cool whatever', we all just tried to get her out of the store so that I could buy her a gift. but then finally Charlie got her out and he took her to Aldo which is this shoe store in International that Erica and Jenn go to all the time. Finally I had my chance to snag it so I took the ring to the counter and I asked the lady, 'Do you guys have any gift boxes?' she looks at me and says, 'sorry, we're all out.' Doesn't that ALWAYS happened whenever you need a gift box? Dammit. So then I'm like, 'fine I'll take a Guess bag.' So then she wrapped it up and I went outside to find Megan. She goes, 'oh cool, what did you buy?' and I'm like, 'A shirt'.. but then not thinking and realizing that the Guess bag wasn't large enough to fit a t-shirt so I started blushing. I changed the subject real quick and ran off with Erica and Jenn. I felt so dumb. I almost gave her surprise gift away!! So then we went into a few more stores then finally I gave up and go, 'here Megan.' She looked at me like, 'why are you handing me your bag?' so then I go look at it. So she opened it and she saw the ring that she had liked and I go, 'the ring is for you..' and then we hugged for like 2 minutes. Aww?I love my little Megan. By the time we were heading to leave, I was so freaking exhausted. The calices on my feet had calices on them. I was ready to pass out. I literally got like five hours of sleep from the night before. Bahaza put us all in temporary comas. (read Bahaza Lounge entry for more updates) so Megan still wanted to hit up Citrus Park and me and Erica begged her to take a break. I wanted to go home and take a nap before Leo and Ray's Party. So then I came home and I passed out on my inflatable bed (my real bed is on it's way) and I slept like a little baby on NyQuil. Erica called me and we were all going to meet at her house. I called my best friend Natalie and her and Josh were still at dinner. Everyone was running late. So I rushed over to Erica's house because I still had to finish writing in Megan's birthday card. I always wait to the last minute!! Finally we arrived at Leo and Ray's and the party was off the hook!! Leo just refurnished his house and it looked amazing!! All of my friends were like, 'When I grow up, I want a house just like this one!!' It was good to see my family and all of my friends there!! It was so cool because Denise got these portable Hawaiian cups that you can put drinks in. So we each got one and started to make drinks. This one guy kept saying, 'Here, try this!! try this!!' and we all were like, 'what it is?' Josh took a sip and made this crazy face so then me and Natalie were like, 'ummm.. maybe not.' He was like, 'No it's really good!! It's Moon Shine from Mexico.' Okay for some reason, Moon Shine and Mexico all in one sentence spells out Danger to me. But guess what? Me and Josh drank it anyway. I started feeling it. I guess they call it Moon Shine because you start seeing a bright light. Leo and Ray's party was so much fun!! But then we had to leave and meet up with more friends for the After-Party at the Casino. Everyone and their great uncles was there!! Holy crap. But before we get into that craziness, here is what happened next. So we split into two groups, and Megan's group headed out to the Casino first. Our group went to go pick up Virginia and Mariel. Well on the way there, I'm looking at Natalie and she goes to reach over to get something when I'm looking at her lap, and her drink starts pouring down on her crotch!! She started screaming!! Awww.. poor Natalie. So she was like, 'Josh!! Omg, we have to go home so that I can change my pants.' And of course Josh didn't want to go so he was like, 'You better hope that Mariel has a pair of jeans for you.' So Natalie was like, 'omg.. Josh!! I look like I just pee'd all over myself.' Then Josh goes, 'No you don't.. -long pause- ..SIKE!!' ha. it was so hilarious!! I felt so bad but I couldn't stop laughing. Josh kept cracking jokes the entire ride to Virginia's. so we finally get to Virginia's after getting lost like five million times and we go just down the street over to Mariel's to get ready. We had to be super duper quiet over at Mariel's because her parents and Dylan we asleep. so we kept up our twelve inch voices and waited for the girls to get ready. Waiting for girls to get ready to go out is like waiting for grass to grow. I couldn't beleive how long they took just to change shirts and re-apply lipstick. geeze!! so while we were waiting, me and Josh just kept cracking up on Natalie's spill stain. awwww.. then finally we got everyone together and headed off to the casino!! we pulled up straight pimpin. it was me, Mariel, Damaye, Ben, Natalie, Josh, and Virginia. we met up with Vanessa, Stacy, Jenn, Erica, Charlie, Megan, Bill, Ralph, Carlos, and Ann. and the rest will be to be continued till i get back from my Orlando trip!! see you guys later!! at Bahaza Lounge Fri 07/30: entry coming soon.. i'm about to head out to Bahaza Lounge tonight!!

Wed 07/28: i just got off the phone with Tyler and guess what? he got a pug!! geeze!! finally right? i am so excited!! i can't wait to see the little terror. i'm going over to his apartment first thing tomorrow after class!! anyway, other than that, i am just so tired. why am i so tired all the time? i was falling asleep in class today and Kristen and Travis kept trying to wake me up. i even tried the old 'pretend to cover my eyes' trick but that didn't work either. My head kept on tilting forward. ha! it was so funny but i was getting so sleepy. my professor has been really understanding lately about my situation so he lets me daze off here and there. Travis has been having a few people over his house for poker night. He keeps asking me when i'm going to come over and play a few games with them but i'm like, 'i don't really know how to play!!' i mean i had lots of practice in the RV on the way to Colorado on my ski trip with Natalie and Josh but we play by our own rules. we never follow 'the real rules of Poker' anyway. we've seen enough re-runs of Rounders to get the jist of how the game is to be played. but i told him that i promise that i will make a guest appearance over his house one day. I'll even bring The HoneyComb Hideout with me. i got off the phone with Virginia like an hour ago and she called to see how i was doing. She is just the cutest!! and by the way, we are neighbors now!! i be forgetting!! she is like, 'Arthur tomorrow after class call me so that you can come over and we can watch movies!!' yay. maybe she can come with me to see Tyler's new dog!! There is so much for me to do tomorrow dammit!! i still need a fade tomorrow too so i might go do that and get my haircut finally. i look so crazy right now with my asian afro. i need a fade really bad. i need it like Kathy Lee needs Regis. well i have to get up at like 6 or 7 tomorrow morning so i better hit the sack early. i have my dogs with me tonight too. They are already passed out!! they better move out of my bed because they are forever hogging it. well goodnight, and i'm out!! later!!
i'm leaving to Orlando with Natalie and Josh!!
josh's new cell phone!!
Natalie's new apartment in Orlando!! and inside the BMW with Natalie and Josh
Tues 07/17: i'm finally back!! i'm so sleepy and tired that i might even take a nap. i just got back from Orlando with Natalie and Josh and getting through that rain was like traveling through that new movie: The Day After Tomorrow!! i'm taking this Meteorology class and i learned that most of Florida's rain is caused by cloud development and conditional instability. and for those who aren't familiar with the term 'conditional instability', it is the atmospheric condition that exists when the environmental lapse rate is less than the dry adiabatic rate.. but let's not get all technical here!! but geeze!! i am soaking wet now!! and i look like i have an afro!! i came home, changed clothes, checked my messages, and called everyone back. Tyler left me the funniest message today on my answering machine. he does this impression of an Italian waiter and he does it so good!! i can't stop laughing. He is such a goon sometimes. We are going to go back for round three of getting him a new puppy. it's so hard since the puppy we had our hearts set on was sold to some biatch that paid with cash. we're not going to give up and as soon as we pick one out i will post up the pictures on my site. anyway, i went to check out Natalie and Josh's new apartment in Orlando and it is so cute!! we had so much fun on the ride there because we were playing 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' on Josh's new cell phone. it was so funny cuz Josh would be like, 'okay.. that is the right answer!! i am a hundred percent sure!!' and me and Natalie would look at each other and say, 'hmmm.. no i don't think that's the right answer. i think it's B.' so then Josh would be like, 'Nope, it's definately A. and i am a hundred percent sure!!' so then we would be like 'okay fine' and then go with Josh's answer and it would be wrong!! then me and Natalie were like, 'Josh!!'ha!! it was so funny!! we got so close to the 65,000 and we kept messing up on some of the questions!! and they didn't want to use up any of their lifelines. dammit!! we even called Megan and Jenn for some of the answers. ha!! Josh's new cell phone is so awesome!! and that game on his cell was so addicting!! after playing for like an hour and never winning the million jackpot, we gave up and stopped by this burger joint called 'Friendlys'. This place had the best chocolate shakes ever!! i couldn't help myself but notice that there was a Crane Game at Friendlys. and i told Josh, 'if i give you fifty cents, can you guarantee me a stuffed toy?' Then he was like, 'what? i am the man when it comes to crane games..' so i gave him two quarters and on his first try, guess what? Josh wins one!! damn right? he wasn't kidding. so when i got home i gave it to my little neice. anyway, so we got to Natalie's apartment and Natalie was like, 'Arthur you can stay here whenever you want!! i want you to come over every weekend and stay with us!!' and i'm like, 'awwww.. of course!!' i am so ready to party in Orlando. There are so many places to hit. Church Street, Wet and Wild, Disney World, Sea World, and Ripley's Believe It Or Not. we already started making plans on which mall we will hit up first. and once we started talking about it, Josh started to roll his eyes and goes, 'oh great.. let me just take away the Credit Cards.' ha! whatever.. me and Natalie behave when it comes down to spending.. ..silence.. ..okay, just kidding.. Not to mention that we will be hitting up The Mall Of Millenia, International Drive, Pointe Orlando, and also all of the outlets. i can't wait!! Then afterwards we all went out to eat at The Macaroni Grill for dinner and i got to make my own pasta dinner!! how cool is that? i love artichoke!! so you know i had to add that in there. i ate about half of my meal and now i am stuffed. i have tons of leftovers too and i'm going for round two later tonight. i'm looking at my To-Go box and telling it, 'i will see You later!!' Ha!! well anyway, my sister just got home and i still have to highlight my hair before i go to bed tonight. by the way, is The Newley Weds on tonight?? does anyone know?? call me if you do know cuz i will be walking around my house so call me on my Nextel. Later!!
new pictures!!
Who really runs the South.. you know how we do!! ..we raised the bar again!! damn.
i'm on my way out to The Cure Concert!!
Sun 07/25: be back later tonight!! call the Nextel if you need me!! Later!! :: Re-Cap :: -> hey kids!! i'm taking a little short break before i have to get back to class. i am about to pass out since i didn't get to bed last night until 2am. i hate my 5 hour Meteorology class. it is my arch enemy. if i could i would shoot spider webs at it. anyway, the Cure Concert was amazing!! me and Elena had a great time at The Curiosa Festival!! i had no idea that i would see so many bands in just one concert!! The Raptures were amazing and i even bought their CD!! i'm not really into the new wave and alternative music but i have to tip my hat off to The Cure because i am an eighties child and i remember them so well!! The Cure right next to Depeche Mode and Tears For Fears. i was talking to Jenn through Nextel on one of my breaks and i was like, 'Hey!! i'm at The Cure Concert!!' and she was like, 'what? what the hell is that?' it was so funny!! i'm like, whatever, go back to your hip hop hippopotomous. jk!! i love that ish too!! so this was the first performance to ever be played at the new Amphitheatre off of I-4. so many people were there and so many people were dressed up Interview With The Vampire style. it was kick ass!! me and Elena got those mixed margarita drinks and i even got the one with an extra coconut rum shot in it. I wanted to receive the whole 'Cure experience'. and if i wasn't going to be smoking, then i was going to get drunk. too bad i left my stupid camera in the car because we had great seats and you can see all the performers on stage too. anyway, i have to finish up these chips then head back over to class.. i will be back later for the rest of this story.. Later gators!! UF here we come!! -> me and Erica are about to saddle up, Gainsville style!! <- i'm home!! i'm home!! i am so excited!! i want to kiss the floor!! just kidding. but i came home and all my doggies were so happy to see me!! they are all sitting here right next to me so i'm guessing they all want to say hello. well today we were figuring out what to do for Megan's birthday. we've made plans to get a hotel but everything is booked!! and if we head out to Shepards, it might rain!! we might as well just plan a day putting together puzzle peices.. jk!! we'll figure something out. My sister just bought me a free membership to MOSI!! how awesome is that? i love that Museum and everytime i go i try to visit their MosiMax theatre. well anyway, i have to study tonight so that means that i will be turning off my Nextel. sorry but school comes first!! Later! -> it's 11:52 am and i'm still wondering how i am still awake. well i finally finished studying for my test tomorrow so everyone wish me luck!! i really want to get an A in this class. Not even a B, because i know i can get an A as long as i keep my test scores high. Today Tyler came over and i had to put OJ away because he always tries to jump all over him. and Tyler tells me that a dog named OJ must be a killer. -ba da dum- get it? k, enough with these early 90's jokes. so we ordered out Chinese food instead of sushi because we were too lazy to drive that far. i asked him to get spicy beef, and he got me the original. should i check the list twice next time because he doesn't ever listen to me. i still have leftovers if anyone wants any. i feel like a fatty whenever i over-eat. i get so hungry sometimes. i seriously feel like i am feeding three people inside me. My metabolism is just off the chain. but i still consider myself as an oinker. I better do a few sit ups before i sleep tonight. well i'm really off to bed now. i'm so exhausted!! Today was a very studious day and i think tomorrow will be the same. Back to school.. back to school.. just like Billy Madison would say. and also thank you so much to Carol from Kansas who e-mailed me about having great skin. you are just so sweet!! Thank you so much for the compliments!! but i'm telling you, the big secret to having great skin is take care of it meaning stay away from the sun or really oily foods like Pizza or Fried Chicken. some people have an allergic reaction to oil or even certain chocolates. also try to wash your face everytime you go to sleep. but thank you so much for your e-mail. i think i just got lucky with the parentals' jeans. but thank you so much!! i like your site too!! Night Carol, and night everyone~~ see you guys tomorrow!!

more coming soon!! we had so much FUN last night!! i am still recovering from all those Long Islands so give me some time to recover!! Later!!
PS. Lauren I love you so much!! You are my fire!! I'll call you right when i get out of my concert!! last night was so much fun!! Look at how fine you are!! damn!! ps.. Have fun tonight with Stelios!! Get it!! I love you!!
Sat 07/24: where do i even begin? okay, so here is the 'down low' on last night's event. after The Comedy Club i met up with Lauren at MJ's getaway out at Davis Island. it was so hilarious cuz i called Lauren and i'm like, 'Lauren, if the Taxi driver gets there, tell him that i'll pay him an extra ten dollars to wait for me..' so as i'm telling Lauren this she is like, 'omg, i think the taxi driver just pulled up!!' and i'm like 'what!! no way!! please try to stall him!!' as i'm driving down I-275 going like 100mph -literally- so then i haul ass there and i make it on time like Saved By The Bell. i passed the entrance once and i was on the phone with the Taxi Driver and he was giving me directions. This guy knew the area better than i did. so the girls were all outside and they looked so fine!! MJ had some wine and was like, 'take a swivel of this!!' they had been taking shots prior to me getting there. But i was already krunk too off those Long Islands at Improv. our waitress made those drinks so strong. so i have the most amazing Taxi Driving story ever!! but ya'll have to wait. It gets better. Trust me!! so this was our Indiana Jones night with this taxi experience. We literally could not stop laughing the entire night. We were having so much fun!! so the guy is like, 'okay, you por..' (the dude has an accent by the way, so i'll try to type as much as i can to resemble our conversation) so 'por' really means 'four'. K, so he is like, 'You por hab to pay me nine dollars ecstra.' Is he for real? so i'm like, 'fine whatever.' take this cash and buy yourself a crobar, you Theif!! so then we're pulling up Channelside and this taxi driver wasn't so bad. He wasn't the stanky type you usually see in New York City. Our first taxi driver didn't smell like a urinal. so we leave the taxi and head over to Splitsville where we were meeting up with Sarah and Stelios. We meet Mike who is Lauren's friend and he was so cool. Mike has a Marky Mark personality to get a better visual. so anyway, the first thing we do is head over to the bar and get a few drinks. First round of drinks was on Lauren. i got another Long Island. Again? i know.. it's my signature drink. then finally Sarah arrived and we all hung out with her boyfriend's friends. Sarah looked so cute!! i gave her a huge hug cuz we haven't seen each other in so long. Then Lauren disappeared and i think Mike had taken her away so we went to go look for her. Sarah was like, 'i think she might have headed over to the other side.' so we looked and we found her. i saw so many people from back in the day. i ran into Brea and she was telling me how she is heading out to Miami!! some people are just so lucky. and also this one guy who is my bank teller at SunTrust. He was like, 'hey i know you!! Villa-Real right?' i'm like, 'yeah!! i might see you next week.' i'm at my bank all the time like it's my job. Then Lauren's friend Heather wanted to smoke a cigarette outside but one thing, i don't smoke. i think smoking is such a bad habbit and i always get on my girls for smoking so they don't do it in front of me. or if they do, they wait till i get drunk so that i don't care. Ha. It's just not my cup of tea. but i went outside with Heather anyway. Channelside was packed last night. it was off the chain!! Sherry and Erica called my cell phone and they wanted me to come out to The Casino with them!! i'm like, 'i wish you guys could come out here cuz we're having so much fun!!' but they were getting drunk too so it's pointless to have us driving around drunk so we just told each other how much we missed each other and that we would exchange stories the next day. awww.. i love my girls. so then Lauren and i team up together for a game of pool. it was me and Lauren versus Stelios and his friend Mark. We were so going to kick their asses in pool. Lauren and i looked at each other and we're like, 'ready to win?' then nodded yes. It was such a good game, and a long one at that. At one point, no one was making anything in!! but in the end, we did lose to Stelios and Mark but only because he is a cheater. jk.. but we came so close!! whatever!! Lauren and i won. Right Lauren? see, even she knows. so it was thirty minutes to closing and so we had to get back to our taxi driver. We said bye to Sarah and her boyfriend, then said goodbye to Stelios. so we get a totally different Taxi Driver on the way home and this one was a crazy Taxi Driver. he was like, 'get in.' and we're all looking at each other laughing so hard cuz we were all like, 'okay whatever Jack The Ripper.' this guy was so scary!! as we're pulling into the interstate Heather screams, 'OMG, we're all going to die!!' and me and Lauren are dying laughing. i couldn't breathe. i had to hold my stomach cuz i was laughing so hard. Then i go, 'OMG!! we're riding on the Khumba!!' everyone raise up their arms!! Ha! then Lauren was like, 'Everyone hold on to your seats cuz it's go go Speed Racer!!' MJ was so drunk and she didn't even really know what was going on and was just like, 'wtf is going on with this Taxi Driver?' someone tranquilize his crazy out of control ass!! so we're holding on for dear life and he finally pulls into MJ's driveway. 'whew!' we're like panting and with a sigh or relief that we made it there okay and i felt like they should've given us 'We Survived The Taxi Of Terror' t-shirts!! Ha!! but we had SO much fun!! we get into MJ's house and we storm into her pantry like we haven't eaten in ten years and we pull out all kinds of canned goodies. When it's this late and your half passed drunk, you will eat anything and it will taste good. so pried open some beaked beans and some corn and made a huge mess in MJ's kitchen as you can see in the pictures. Lauren and i were grabbing stuff like tissue paper rolls and Morton Salt and throwing up gang symbols and posing for the camera. it was so hilarious. we laughed so hard that it made us delirious!! so then we passed out and that was the end of our story. Great freaking times at Davis Island. i will never forget it. Thanks Lauren!! it was so much fun!!
-> elections are coming up and voting can be really tough.. especially if you do not know who will really lower our gas prices or find more jobs for the american citizens. Kerry or Bush? Kerry or Bush? it's kinda like choosing between apples and oranges. well i made my choice and for this 2004 election i will be voting for George W Bush. i know that some people are hating on him but everyone has the right to vote. so make sure that you vote this upcoming election for who you think will make a difference because each vote counts. This message has been brought to you by the makers of Corona. 'Miles away from ordinary.'

CELEBRITY UPDATE: Joel and Hilary Duff are dating!! ..we would have never predicted this ever!!
MEGAN ON NBC!! AND HER NY TRIP!! Fri 07/23: Megan was just on NBC!! Megan is in New York right now and she just saw Britney Murphy a few days ago while Britney was debuting her new movie The Blackbook -which we're all going to see the premier of-!! i love that girl. and this morning she got to be on NBC!! i got it all on tape and what's even cooler is that inside the NBC bulding is Halle Barry, Matt Damon, and Ben Stiller. Megan called me on my Nextel this morning and told me that she was going to be on the Early Show so i turned on the TV and there she was!! awww.. Megan looked so cute too!! she was waving at the camera. i can't believe that she is just walking distance from Halle Barry and Matt Damon. and plus i just saw Meet The Parents and Ben Stiller is inside there too. that is so much fun!! i was talking to her on her cell phone while she was being taped!! i asked Megan the other day if they have those stands on the side of the street where they sell fake Prada wallets that saw 'Prado' and she said that they are on every corner. How cool. and speaking of Celebrities, tomorrow night i will be hanging out with a celebrity -which i will not say just yet, just wait till i get my pictures back!!- afterwards i will hitting up -RSVP- with Lauren, Heather, and MJ and we're going to all get a Taxi because ya'll know our drunk asses won't be able to drive back home. so we're all crashing at MJ's rents out at Harbour Island. well i'm off. Megan have fun in the Big Apple!! and We Miss You so much!! Next week is your birthday party and so get ready for it!! Shepards here we come!! and also get ready to take over Coyote Ugly once again!! You know how we do it at The HoneyComb Hideout!! Love ya!! Winkays!!! ha!! TIME WOUNDS, ALL HEALS.. Thur 07/22: Natalie and Josh got new cell phones!! i am so excited cuz now we can all talk to each other twenty-four seven. yay! so i moved most of my stuff over here and i can't believe that i will be living here for the next three years of my life!! it's just that i always go back to my mom's house for dinner or just to hang out and it's just wierd to me that i won't have that anymore. i miss my mom so much and i think about her like 2.5 seconds of each day. it never gets easy and when people ask me 'How am I doing?' it's hard to answer it because i don't think i will ever be okay with it. I have learned to accept it though.. and i am happy that my parents both knew how much we loved them. i just never realized that it would happen so soon. it is very sad but in the same note, it is a beautiful thing because my mom always told me that death is a part of life and that it is the next step. they are with God now and i can't ask for anything more. i pray that one day i can see them again and i tell God at night that i want him to tell her how much she means to me and that I will always have them in my thoughts. I think i have became a stronger person after this. It is a learning experience and still i feel so numb. i can have an anvil fall on top of me and i'd probably be like whatever. I don't know if we are allowed to know are destiny in life but i am just glad that i am surrounded by so many people who love me and that i can rely on every minute of the day. what would i do without them? I am so fortunate. and i will never take that for granted. Well night ya'll. i have a long day ahead of me tomorrow. Night!! TRADING SPACES WITH TYLER Wed 07/21: i'm going to bed soon so i have to make this one short!! but i promise to come back tomorrow and fill you guys in on more updates. so about this morning: i forgot to charge up my Nextel so when i got home from class today i saw that i had fifteen missed calls!! so sorry!! i promise to not forget next time -although the charger is in the other room but i am too tired to even get it- dammit!! Tonight Tyler and i watched Creep Show which i haven't seen in like forever!! i mean years!! last time i seen this movie i was trading Garbage Pale Kids. that's how long its been. we went to go buy shirts for Leo and Ray's birthday party later this month and so i found this one shirt from Hollister. it is so dark in there that you need a flashlight to look at all their clothes. my sister met up with me today at Neiman Marcus and we went straight to Starbucks and didn't even get any coffee. but we did get this Grapefruit Juice thing cuz i'm on a -no coffee no kidding- diet. we also went to The Cheesecake Factory where we ordered a million Cheesecakes to take back home and i looked so funny walking around International with this huge bag in my hands. after i ate a few slices i felt like a huge cow. Hollister gets in new shirts by the hour. I bought this one shirt that says Math Expert on it cuz i thought it was hilarious since i just recently scored a ninety-four percent on my last Math exam. i think i might wear that shirt tomorrow actually to class. i spoke to Sherry today for like 2.4 seconds. Me, her, Tyler, and Aaron were all planning to go to Busch Gardens tonight. Can you beleive they are open so late for the summertime!! it's crazy how we can go there now and not have to worry about this heat. and it's not like heat like in Miami Vice. it's heat like in Total Recall where their eyes were about to pop out of their eye sockets. What is up with this damn weather anyway? i feel like I'm in Africa sometimes going on a Safari. i'm surprised i haven't gotten any sun yet because Erica, my friend Matt, and Tyler are all tanner than me!! what is wrong with this picture? i thought i came with 'tan' when i was born? i think it's like Refreshing a computer screen.. i must go 'refresh' out in the sun. So i'm going to study all weekend plus move more stuff out of my house. I just hate the back and forth movement -i feel like i'm on Trading Spaces on TLC- but i have to do it this weekend because i have access to DJ's truck. i think my bed and my entertainment center is going to be the hardest to move. Everything else can fit into my duffel bags. thank goodness. I'm glad that Tyler put up my new iron rods in my closet so that i can fit in more of my clothes. The rest is going to Salvation Army. i talked to my sister in Vegas and i told her that i will be there for New Years!! i really can't wait to go back there to sin city!! I want to head off to Caesars Palace again. i'm so mad cuz the last time i went, most of my pictures came out so blurry. Damn Fugi Film disposible camera!! how ghetto can we get here? well i have a new Digital now so it is on baby!! sin city here i come. i still have to go to Lake Jovita this weekend with Josh to pay John's dad a visit. I spoke to Natalie today and they are all going to The Green Iguana. i wish i could go with them but i have class in the morning. Speaking of, i need to get my ass to bed. i have a long day ahead of me tomorrow and i will try to post up new pictures of my day at the mall today. two wishes before i go to bed: One is that i hope i won the lottery tonight because that would be nice, and Two is that i do not fall asleep in class tomorrow. and also Jenn call me when you get this!! your phone has been off all day. Miss You!! Night!! MATH EXPERT ON A CALCULATOR SPELLS: 80085 UPSIDEDOWN Mon 07/19: whenever i think my life can't get any better, it always surprises me and proves me wrong by opening so many new doors and new adventures!! I feel like my life is just one huge adventure book where something new and exciting is always happening. Kinda like Indiana Jones minus the Temple Of Doom and minus a few Somalians. so i can say that my life is at a perfect existence and that i am so blessed for everything that i have. anyway, i had just finished studying for this massive Math Exam for tomorrow's test and my brother helped me out through the telephone. He is in South Carolina. Okay, let's talk about technology and how much it has advanced over the years. so i only have one Math book and to scan each page will take like a million years. So i used my new digital camera and started taking pictures of my Math Book!! Can we all say 'Flinstones Meets The Jetsons?' so i sent them over to my brother through e-mail where he could access them. Then he called me on the phone and we started doing Simple Interest word problems together. Isn't that so freaking crazy? Pretty soon in a couple of years we beaming each other over like they do on Star Trek Voyager. and ya'll don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about either cuz I know that i am not the only one who sometimes flips that remote control and ends up watching a few episodes. So anyway, i'm done studying and I think I am ready for that test tomorrow. My last test score was a ninety-four so I'm aiming for an A for the class. Today my sister and I had sushi and watched a few Vincent Price movies. For some old fogie scary movies, -with little to no special effects- they were pretty good!! i talked to Jenn today and she is still in Ocean City. she is so lucky. It rained here today in Florida while she went tanning on the boardwalk. i need to go tanning. Jenn needs to hurry back here to Florida. by the way, I am wearing my mother's wedding ring and people lately have been asking if I am married and i tell them no. The reason why I wear my mom's wedding band is because it will remind me of her and why I am here on this Earth. It gives me so much more reason to live and be proud of who I am today. It is also to remind me that I was given a life to serve God and to enjoy what this short life has to offer. 'I can see clearly now that the rain is gone..' and yes, those words mean so much to me now, than when I first heard them on Sesame Street eighteen years ago. I don't take anything for granted and I am cherish everything that God has blessed me with. Like for instance, I look at my dogs and they are so great. I spend more time with them instead of just saying, 'You guys want a treat?' or 'You guys want to go outside?' I talk to my dogs as if they were human, which sometimes they act like they are. I am so happy that I am living with my sister!! it is so great here. I think these next few years are going to be a growing process for me. I am going to have to learn so many new things that I have been depending on my parents all my life. i would have never thought that I would be dealing with them now. But everything happens for a reason and I need to be strong and keep going. it gets difficult when I think about how much I miss them. It's like take an aorta out of my heart and tossing it into the ocean. But I know that God has a place for my parents in heaven and I am so happy for them. I can't wait for the day when I see them again and when I get to be with God. That will be an experience that can't be described into words. Night everyone!!

BECKY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY AT HARBOUR ISLAND
Charmed: Erica, Becky, and Heather outside Neiman Marcus
Tues 07/20: Tyler and Matt came over today to help me put up my liners in my closet. i have no idea how to put those things up but i needed it done because i need more room for my clothes. I'm still moving some of my stuff over here from my mom's house and I'm realizing that i used my Visa card one too many times in the past. i gave up on Feng-Shui too because i have a lot ish that can't be organized. Like how do you organize video cassette tapes? I'm definately having another Yard Sale. tonight we're all having dinner at Harbour Island at Jackson's and Heather is going to be there. I haven't seen Heather in so long!! i miss her so much!! Becky was just telling me how she hung out with John last night and that they all were asking about me. i remember those long ass nights in Z-Hills where we all stayed up playing Spades and then didn't go to sleep till like nine in the morning. I can't wait to re-live those moments. anyway, Erica is about to pick me up so i better get ready. i still don't even know what i'm going to wear for Becky's Birthday dinner. also shout-outs to Heather and Pamela!! see you guys tonight!! Later!! JACKSON'S IN HARBOUR ISLAND: entry coming soon.. i'm going to bed. it's late and i have class in the morning.. Night everyone!! re-Cap: Becky still needed to buy a top for her outfit so what she did was get the same exact skirt and turned it into a top. Okay, can we call say Gianni Versace!! Becky is so creative!! and she looked so beautiful that night. so when you see her outfit, it's actually two skirts made into one. I'm so glad that Becky is getting into fashion design because we talked about collaborating our ideas in the near future. i think we will have all of America saying, 'That's Hott!!' so went and had dinner at Jackson's in Harbour Island. I had never been there before but i've heard a lot of great things about the place. and damn that suhsi was awesome!! me and Erica ordered off the sushi menu and got two types of sushi. One type had actual conch in it and i loved how they made it a little spicy and they other had i think eel or something. i guess when your eating suchi, does it even matter? i didn't know what beverage to order so Erica suggested the Rain Drop Martini which contains Vodka so i was wasted by the end of Becky's birthday dinner. i also had tried their seaweed salad and i am bringing my sister Consuelo the next time i head over that way. i can;t stop thinking about how great their food was. But Becky's birthday dinner was so sweet!! i even got film clips of me and Erica saying Happy Birthday on my new digital!! it came out so cute!! by the time Erica has dropped me off i was already passed out. good food.. good friends.. good times!! Happy Birthday Becky!! we heart you!!

WES'S GOING AWAY PARTY!!
Sun 07/18: if i do not take a break i think i will malfunction. i've been studying for my Meteorology Exam which is tomorrow, and there are four chapters that i must cover. so If i see another forecast or anything that has to do with the winter solstice or radiational cooling i think i'm just going to burst. so anyway, this weekend was so freaking amazing!! i finally went out and visited all of my friends who i haven't seen in so long!! what a reunion!! so it started off at dinner and me, Sherry, Becky, and Erica ordered a few drinks to start off our night. I had two El Presidentes at Chilli's and i was wasted after the first one. but before all of that i realized how lucky and fortunate i really was to have such amazing friends to support me through these hard times. I don't think I can express the way i feel about the loss of my mom and dad, but I am dealing with it the best way that i can. I look at my faith in God along with my support group and I do what i have to do. Sherry held my hand at the table and we talked so much about my mom and everything that was going on with me. i am so glad that me and her are on that level where i can talk to her about anything!! i love it how we can just hang out all night long and just talk about anything. the card she wrote me had me in tears and our conversation was on another level. i mean everyone around us at Chilli's were drinking away while we sat there and talked about how lucky we were to have what we have and also such an amazing circle of friends. we are so blessed and plus we are so Fine!! we had so much fun Saturday night. so after we had a few drinks we went over to Steve and Bobbys to hang out. Wes's party didn't start till later that night and plus we wanted to arrive there when the keg got there. some random guy comes up to us because Becky goes, 'hey there is a huge dog over there by the bushes!!' and so we look over and by the way, we are in the patio area in case this mini-story isn't making any sense, so anyway, we walk up to this dog and this guy comes out and starts to talk to us. He asked us what we were doing so we told him that we were going to a keg party. Then he starts telling us stories about his night before at the casino. This was just some random guy telling us random stories. How crazy was this night? He later on brings out a little puppy which is his roomates girlfriends.. okay, i guess you have had to be there to appreciate this mini-story so let me just end that right here. anyway, so we leave to this girls house at Tampa Palms and me and Sherry were reppin' our parents houses when Erica drove by Wyndham and Enclave. -TP Represent!!- and finally we reached to this girl's house at The Reserve. Her house was off the chain. I felt like we were in Miami. This girl's parents had six cars and also a pimp ass wine cellar. When we first walked in we were like, 'so where is Versace?' we drank so much liquor there. Sherry made me some Vodka and OJ and already i was feeling it after like three sips. she is now officially my personal bartender. So we're taking mad pictures of this house and we're just taking a private tour when we discovered that there is a spiral case stair that leads to this loft area above the pool. it was so pretty. We even checked out this huge fish tank that was bigger than the fish tank seen in Ace Ventura. Then when we went out to the garage to get more beer, a huge ass roach came crawling over and then Sherry stepped on it and then i go, 'he is so not VIP!!' and we started laughing so hard. holy crap, that was so freaking hilarious!! omg. So then we got back into Erica's car and we drove to Jeffer's and Commons for Wes's Going Away Party. we had a blast. Wes got this blow up pool and he filled it up with baby oil for people to swim in. i thought that was pretty wild. I felt like i was in a National Lampoon movie. we saw so many of our friends!! the keg was in the bathroom and everyone kept offering us drinks. we were like, 'thanks, but we can do this ourselves.' Robert and Wes pulled up next to us and we're like 'where are you guys going?' Then we was like, 'we're going to get another keg!!' Hell yeah!! you know how we do. so we went upstairs and finished the rest of the keg and then Sherry goes, 'Hey, i just wanted to say that it is my best friend Arthur's Birthday tonight and i want everyone to wish him a Happy Birthday!!' so then everyone around started saying, 'Happy Birthday Arthur!!' ha. it was so freaking hilarious because i kept looking over at Sherry saying, 'wait a minute, what is todays date?' i don't even know. Ha. it was also this one guy and this other girls birthday so everyone was saying Happy Birthday left and right. Then finally Josh and Natalie arrive. I give them both the biggest hug and I've missed them so much!! i didn't even want to let go of Natalie. so we're talking and catching up then Natalie goes, 'Hey do you want to spend the night?' so i'm like, 'okay!!' Then Josh was like, 'well let's also go get food cuz i'm hungry.' That is not even a question or an option for me. I am always ready to eat. Bring it on. So i said goodbye to my girls and they were all heading off to the Casino. so i got my clothes out of Erica's car and left to Natalie's. We got some oodles of noodles and also these Chinese Take-Out things. Josh and Natalie gave up on those because they were so hard to cook on the stove. so i passed out and all i remembered was waking up and Ming -josh's dog- was licking my face. Awww.. i love Ming!! that dog is so cute. Oh yeah, my new digital camera also records movies and i wish i could put them on my site but that is just too high tech but i have so many great movie clips. i'm going to have them all saved then once i get enough clips i'm going to make copies for my best friends and keep em for when we get older and look back at our crazy party lives. so then i wake up and Josh is making breakfast. Natalie was still in bed. Josh was like, 'I'm making you French Toast.' and Josh's French Toast are amazing. He makes most of his food from scratch. so we had that for breakfast and then we all watched The Butterfly Effect which is such a creepy ass movie and i think i'm going to buy the DVD of it at Blockbuster. Natalie had to go to work so Josh took me back to my car which was parked at Sherry's and so i just went home and called it a day and started studying for this Meteorology Exam.. which i need to get back to by the way. Well anyway, i had a freaking blast this weekend!! i love my life and i wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!! i thank God for blessing me with such an amazing family and amazing friends. I think i will have some Iced Tea now. yeah, i'm saying No To Soda and yes to Iced Tea. Being lean and healthy is in. I need to cut back on carbs. My sister is buying us a Tread Mill for the game room and when it comes in I'm going to run on it everytime i watch television. So when I'm watching the Newley Weds just know that i will also be burning some carbs. Night ya'll!! ps.. I MISS U Jenn!! i didn't forget about you!! even though we talked to each other every other five minutes today on our Nextel's i still feel like that isn't enough. We love you and we miss you so much!! hurry back to Florida and have fun in The OC while you are there!! We Miss You so much!! I love you so much!! you are my best friend!! beep me tomorrow right when you wake up!! i'll be in class taking my exam but we get like a thirty miniute break and so i can talk to you then. Tell Kellen i said hello!! later!!
LEAVING HYBERNATION.. / TRADING SPACES on TLC
[ <- inside Tyler's pimp ride!! ]
Sat 07/17: i went to go see White Chicks for like the third millionth time tonight with Tyler since all my friends were keeping it low. i'm sad because we didn't get that puppy yet but once we do we're going to smother it with so much love!! i can't wait to get another dog!! and Tyler said that he can train him to do all kinds of tricks although i've never seen a Pug so anything. i don't think they are physically capable? well we were laughing so hard in the theatres even though i've already seen it twice but i just can't get enough of those Wilson sisters!! it's just classic. My nieces love Tyler!! he is so funny because i taught him how to give them injections -it is where you pretend that your pointing finger is an injection and then you put it under their armpits and it tickles them- ..it is so cute!! we always say, 'it's time for your injection!!' then my nieces would go off screaming. awww!! i love them!! i finally got to meet Tyler's friends and they were really cool. I've heard so much about them!! I had like five napkins on my lap because i ALWAYS get nacho cheese on me. but we had a great time and once i get everything moved out of my mom's house then i can start having people over. My best friend Jenn is in Virginia right now and we've been Nextelling each other all day long. She is so cute. I was eating at Kracker Barrel today and then i realized how loud Nextel is when it's on intercom and these old people sitting next to me were giving me the evil eye so I told Jenn that i would call her later. Isn't Nextel so much fun? so I've been on a strict diet lately where i've been cutting back on soda and drinking Iced Tea. Then i've also cut back on steaks and bacon and ate Cod Fish and sushi instead. I've been so good lately!! since my long nights at Tampa General, all i ate was McDonalds, hospital food, and stuff from this Thai restaurant nearby. I need this diet like nacho needs cheese. So today we looked at houses for my sister. We found a lot of beautiful houses all around Tampa but the one that caught my eye was the one in Seven Oaks. my sister Frances has a house getting built as we speak so it would be really cool if we all lived near each other. We're together all the time anyway so when i switch over to Verizon, we're all going to be calling each other because it's the 'in network' plan. I like that since i can all of my family members and it is free-ninety-nine. Everyone and their plastic surgeons have Verizon and if it's not Verizon, it is Nextel. Pretty soon everyone will have them like everyone had credit cards. You can be mad broke but you still got one. Right? '..all the ladies and fellas if you feel me help me sing it out.' Thanks Beyonce. so the houses we saw were really pimped out. 50 Cent could live in these houses. I hope Elly buys this one house because I want one of the spare bedrooms. And plus DJ can hook up his turn tables in the loft. I took a ton of pictures so once i figure out how to transfer my pictures onto my computer i will add them on here. I have this huge Meterology exam on Monday and my professor said that it was going to be a difficult one. Great. I need to put on my reading glasses and thinking cap for this one. I got a 94-percent on my Math test last weekend and i'm still bragging about it!! I'm looking for some magnets so that i can put it up on my refridgerator. well folks i'm heading off to bed. Tomorrow morning Tyler's coming to pick me up so that we can buy that pug. so let's all cross our fingers and toes and take out your lucky rabbit's foot and hope that we get him by this weekend. i can't wait any longer!! well night everyone!! and happy TGIF!! Thur 07/15: guess what?? i have new toys!! i just bought a new Digital Camera by Canon today!! It is so freaking awesome too and once i learn how to use it i will start posting up some pictures!! i love it so much!! i wish i had time to read the freaking manual -and the booklet is like an Encyclopedia Britanica- but after turning to page one i'm like wtf? then i give up. Today we went to The Brandon Town Center and ate at the food court. i did want to go to Chilli's but we were too hungry to wait. i like Brandon Mall but it can get kinda rowdy at times. Like for instance today this one lady in line completely cut me off in line. At first i wanted to be all polite and not say anything but then Tyler pointed out to me that this lady was off the chain and didn't even say excuse me. So then i said to her politely, 'oh are you in line?' then she looked at me and shrugged her shoulders. Then i make this face like, 'no this little hoeffer did not just shrug her shoulders at me.' I wasn't even being rude to her and if the biatch was in a hurry then at least say 'excuse me..' so then i tried to talk before she did to the Chinese guy behind the counter but then she started to talk over me!! so i turn around and i'm like, 'is this lady for real?' just gave up and so we had Little Tokyo instead of Chinese. Dammit!! i hope that lady gets food poisoning from those egg rolls. so next we drove to a Pet Store. At first we were just browsing -which is what always happens- ..at first. but then we turned around and Tyler wanted to buy a puppy. He finally got an increase on his credit account -and geeze i remember those good old days when i would call up my Visa and it would tell me, 'You now have Three Hundred Dollards available' and then i would say, 'Amen!! and thank the electronic voice lady'- so anyway, we picked one out and this cute little puppy was just the cutest ever!! i wanted to take him home for myself but we already have three dogs!! So then we were like, 'this is the one!!' and so when we asked the lady how much he cost, he was so freaking expensive!! it's all good though because Tyler gets paid tomorrow and so we're planning to go back and get him. And guess what type of dog he is?? it's a baby Pug!! he is so cute too!! in the meantime, we got this little bobble head one until Tyler gets enough money for this little tyrant. so we're all crossing our fingers and toes for tomorrow!! Pugs are so expensive i can't believe he didn't have enough for it today. :( We haven't figured out a name yet so if anyone has any suggestions let me know. i hope we can get him this weekend!! Anyway, i also got a new Nokia Cell Phone -thanks to my best friend Jenn- but it's only for a limmited time until i get my Verizon celly hooked up in mid-August. I'm getting that new one that can take pictures and record small movie clips. My sister Elly has one now and we're always playing with it. so in the meantime ya'll can -bleep- -bleep- me!! so yesterday was so much fun!! i went out with my best friend Jenn and hit up International Mall. i needed to get out of the house so we did it old school style. i finally got my Hollister Jacket that i've been eyeing for for quite some time now. I even bought the San Diego shirt that matches it. i might wear that to Wes's going away party this weekend!! i have been in hybernation for a while now and it's time for me to go drinking!! i miss my friends so much too!! it's on this weekend at The HoneyComb Hideout!! so yesterday after the mall we went to Target to buy some white undershirts for me and then went to Megan's to see The Simple Life 2. but we missed by like 2.5 seconds and watched The NewleyWeds instead. We love that show!! we were laughing so hard and we kept making comments on how fine Jessica is!! she is a freaking Barbie!! damn!! and we watched a little bit of the Ashley Simpson show afterwards but i don't care too much for her. I didn't get home till like 12am and i finished off my Blockbuster movie: Phonebooth and fell alseep. i had class early this morning with my buddy George and you guys will never guess what i got on my exam? i got a freaking 94-percent!! omg!! halleluyah with angels flying above my head!! my teacher even said, 'Arthur you don't want you test score back..' then i was like, 'omg, now i'm scared..' but then it was a good grade and he was just messing with me. my Math class is four hours long and by the third hour i start hallucinating!! for real. i can't concentrate when i start getting delirious with numbers!! math equations can go jump off a cliff. anyway, we're about to go see Anchor Man at Muvico!! i really do not want to go see it, but Tyler keeps telling me on how funny it's going to be!! plus my brother and his wife wants to go see it too. so i guess i'm out-numbered again!! i never win!! or like me and Jenn would say, 'I want to be Mario!!' Ha!see you guys this weekend!! and i promise to take some pictures at Wes's Party!! Later!!

Sticks and stones may break my bones your words will never hurt me, oooh
Sticks and stones may break my bones your words will never hurt me.
You can't blame me for hatin'
But it's funny how you thought you can
Let your little secrets pass by me
And try to get them not to like me

Now you're running 'round talking looking like a fool
I'd like to know what you goin' do and now who's laughing

In Loving Memory -Part Two-
Sat 07/10: my mom passed away yesterday and i'm not ready to talk about it so when the time comes for me to express my feelings i will. so i hope everyone keeps my mom in their prayers and i wanted to thank everyone for all of their support!! this has been such a difficult year for me and i just recently lost my father last year and now i'm still trying to adjust to this passing. what the hell right? i guess when it comes to death and when it's Your parents, you can never Really 'adjust'. You just have to deal with it the best way you can. But I believe in God and like what my mom always told me was never to be upset because our lives do not belong to us but it belongs to God. God has blessed me with such a beautiful family and i am so thankful for having the greatest parents ever!! my mom and dad were the greatest and both of them will be missed but NEVER forgotten!! God Bless!! R.I.P. Anh kim Villa-Real.. we love you so much!! -> this one is probably the huge shocker since everyone has been waiting for me to reply. I checked my e-mail account today and it said that it was 100% full and that i couldn't recieve any more e-mails -ghetto email account- then when i opened my Hotmail account it was flooded with e-mails from all of my friends. awww.. i miss you guys too!! and i miss you guys so much!! you have no idea how much all of those e-mails meant to me. they were so freaking sweet!! A few made me cry and few had me going to the fridge for some chocolate ice cream because i was so sad and i needed some extra un-nutritional healing. i am so thankful for you guys!! i know i know.. i have been in hybernation for so long now and i need to come out of my cave. i've built this shelter away from the world since my mom first got checked into Tampa General Hospital -we waited in the Emergency Room for nine hours!!- and i have been by her side ever since. Guys, this has been THE most difficult thing i have ever experienced!! it is so freaking hard you all have no idea. well, maybe some of you do regarding to some of those e-mails i received. well as you all know, my mom is with God now and i am dealing with it the way 'Arthur' deals with it. He quitely spends time with the family, then has a few days to himself, then comes out of his room and says, 'okay, God has a reason for all this and i need to move on and be strong..' This is easier said than done. I spent every day at the hospital bt my moms side and went to class at the same time. My mom kept saying, 'you better not miss any classes..' and of course i did what i was told. Those people at Tampa General were really helpful. Some of our nurses were actually Filipino so they gave us the hook-up. meaning more puddings and hospital food for me. I didn't get any sleep and i couldn't eat at all. i look like hell right now and if you guys don't know what hell looks like then pay me a visit. My whole entire body is sore and i even have problems falling alseep at 4am in the morning. I must be suffering from insomnia. so the doctors told us that my mom has liver cancer which we had to wait for the results to find out what stage she was in. Once i found out that my mom had liver cancer i became veracious for more information. I went on the internet and looked up all this information on cancer and why people get it. The first signs of liver cancer was yellow pigmentation of the skin and also bloating of the stomach. these were early stages of Jaundice. This whole time that my mom was in her room, none of us knew that she was dying from cancer. we just thought that she was depressed because it was the one year annaversary of my father's passing. my mom always told us that she had cancer but she never wanted to see a doctor. my mom wanted to just stay at home because she did not believe that the doctors can do anything for her and she just wanted to go naturally. My mom is a brave woman and she always knew everything. she had a plan in her mind and she stuck to it. my mom raised nine children and still managed to be an amazing mother so she knows what she is doing. so when the results came back and when the doctor told me that she is not qualified for treatments and to just make her comfortable my heart stopped. i literally froze and my mind must have went to another galaxy or something because i didn't hear anything else of what the doctor had to tell me. nothing to me was important anymore. I didn't care about anything and i just want to sit by my moms side and just cry silently and pray. i have a great relationship with God and He has helped me through so much. so i asked him, 'please give me more time with my mom so that my other brothers and sisters can see her..' -a few of my brothers and sisters were still flying in from out of town and i wanted everyone to have their last words with her. So when God gave me my time i was blessed once again, and i knew that there is proof that he still listens to my prayers. My mom stayed at the hospital for over a week. Then when she was released to come back home, she spent two days at home in her room and then she passed. But before she passed, she was on morphine and didn't feel anything so she went peacefully. My brother also prayed before she passed. The night before she could still hear us but could not respond back. the toxins in her body was so severe. so we each one by one went into her room and had our last words with her. This was so difficult. it was hard to talk to her because i kept trying to hold back from crying the entire time because then all she would hear is me crying and that would just upset her because she told me many times over to be brave and to be strong. I must have told her that i loved her like a million zillion times and i still feel like i didn't say it enough. i was so sad and the pain in my heart is unbearable. i can't even put them into words. but you know what? my mom was an amazing woman. she had lived an amazing life filled with amazing stories that i can hear over and over again and never get tired of listening to them. Everyone who has ever met her is blessed because people will tell you, 'Anh kim was such a beautiful and sweet and humble woman..' she gave me and taught me everything. I am so thankful to have such amazing parents and to have the time to love them and spend those amazing memories that i had with them. I can't be hateful towards death because my mom taught me that it is a part of life and that our lives belong to God and when it is our time to go, then we will all be in the kingdom of heaven. I do not need anymore proof than what was shown to me through my moms eyes. Now i can live my life and be proud to be who i am today because I am her child. My parents will never be forgotten and i will wait for the day when i will see them again. so i spoke to Andrea yesterday and she was telling me how when i was ready to go out again to call her up. Everyone keeps telling me how much they all miss me and i have been so emotional lately that even hearing those words make me want to cry so if you guys see me, hold off on the 'i miss you's' unless you have a box of tissues with you. i've been so depressed lately because i just lost my mom and i'm still trying to 'adjust' although i don't think that will ever happen. Tyler came over yesterday to give me some Campbell's Soup (the New England Clam Chowder flavor) and i thought that was really nice. Lara called me up and told me that she will always be there for me and her mom also told me that i am always welcomed to come over thier house and eat. -they know me so well- i called up my girls and they were all screaming so loud. i asked Megan where are you guys? she was like, 'we're all at the hotel having so many drinks!! we miss you so much and we want you to come party with us!!' awww.. i miss you guys too!! Then Sherry got on the phone told me that i can come over her house to just chill by myself on her couch and watch television or just hang out with Myka and make it a Blockbuster Night. i miss my friends so much!! Then Lauren told me that we will be workout partners at USF this Fall and also that there is this cool party this Friday night that she invited me to and i am Really looking forward to that. It my might actually be my first appearance out to the public. i just want to get out of the house for a couple of days. i need the space. the way i feel right now is like everything is moving fast forward around me while i am just sitting here in 'pause' mode. someone please hand me the remote control. I miss my mom so much and even though it has only been like two days, it feels like three years. i don't think my life will ever be the same after this. My outlook on life now is at a whole new perspective. I see that i have a wonderful life and that i am blessed. i should never take my life for granted although sometimes i do. but what does that all matter when you don't have the ones that you love the most to spend it with? well i thought about it.. and i am glad that both of my parents are with God now. i cannot be selfish. I am also not afraid anymore. i think after seeing all this, i have become a lot more stronger. Giga reminded me of that. thanks. I also wanted to thank all of you who e-mailed me and prayed for my mom. On the last days i had with my mom i told her that so many people were praying for her. Even people who have never met her!! that is pretty amazing!! i appreciate all of those e-mails and also little conversations i've had with you guys while i was wondering around Tampa General or in between naps. i will never forget it. Now that I am given this new life, i have so many responsibilities to take care of on my own. Example: IRS Forms. geeze!! i hate those. Well one of the first things i did was i paid off my car insurance in full. i hate having to deal with coming up with the money each month to pay off those bastards so i just paid the whole damn thing in full. And my sisters told me that i shouldn't work at all for my remaining semesters and just concentrate on school. so i'm just going to focus on school and on my free time I will enjoy my life. i will be back but in the meantime I juts need some time to unwind. I will call everyone once i get back on my feet because right now i'm still standing on my ankles. later!!

Damaye's Birthday Party at The Hyde Park Cafe
-> Damaye's Surprise Party this Saturday Night!! it's going to be off the chain!! night out with Damaye, Ben, Natalie, Josh, Virginia, Gabriel, and Mariel!! wish you were here!! Sun 06/27: i am so hungover!! omg.. last night i was riding home on Ben's party bus and all i can remember was Natalie asking me if i wanted to still spend the night at Josh's. But i was so wasted that i knew that it was best to just curl up in my own bed in case the spinning got worse. my stomach took a huge beating last night especially after that shot of tequila this one guy bought me. Tyler is on his way over so i think i'm going to update yesterday's adventure later on because i still have to buy lunch and return these Blockbuster movies. i was thinking of renting Euro Trip on DVD. i'll be back later!! see ya and wish me luck on this hangover!! -i'm back- it's now 3:35pm. Sherry is so freaking hilarious!! she just wrote me and took my test on Tickle.com and she wrote this: "I failed your quiz!!!!!!!! How the hell do I graduate from college with a A average and got a D on your quiz, damn I need to study!!!!!!!! I'm sorry, lets go get drunk!" haha!! awwww.. i love her so much!! so anyway, Tyler is Carnie Wilson before the gastric bypass surgery!! Listen to this!! i went and bought us some fried chicken from Publix right -mmmm Publix chicken- so i go to walk my dogs for like ten minutes, no.. not even.. and when i came back, Tyler had already started eating the chicken wings!! i'm like, 'Tyler!! i am so hungover right now and i am so hungry!! now hand over that chicken wing and let me get a bite!!' geeze!! Hungry Somalians all up in my crib!! so we watched Euro Trip today and that movie was so freaking awesome and hilarious!! we laughed the entire time!! i loved the ending of it too. Awww.. Chilli really likes Tyler!! he sat on his lap throughout most of the movie. Usually it takes him a while to start feeling comfortable around people but not with him. I think it's also because Tyler keeps feeding Chilli leftovers and i keep telling him that but he is like, 'No, it's not the chicken.. he likes me!!' Ha! We had so much fun!! and also we got the pictures back from his disposible camera. They came out so awesome!! i need to scan some of them and put them on my summer site. My sister and i talked and she is still in Orlando!! she comes back tonight so i need to start getting this place cleaned up. I am such a mess right now and i have bags of chips laying around. I was planning on cleaning this place up but i got way too tired since i had so much to drink last night. Tyler asks me how i can drink so much and not have a beer belly then i told him, 'well i drink moderately.' Ha. whatever that means. Last night was so much fun!! This is just the best week ever!! i've been hanging out with all of my best friends and it feels so good!! i feel like going outside and helping an old lady cross the street that is how great i feel!! so about last night: where do i even start? holy crap. so we took Damaye took The Samba Room which is this really cute restaurant out in Hyde Park and we met up with Mariel and Dylan. Dyan is getting so big now and he is going to grow up to be such a pimpster!! Mariel's baby is just the cutest!! we're going to his birthday party next weekend!! so Me and Damaye were following Virginia and Natalie then all of the sudden, Natalie pulls over to the side of this gas station and i'm like, 'what the hell?' so we get out of the car and Natalie is like, 'you park your car here and we will all ride together in my car to Hyde Park.' i'm like, 'do i really drive that slow? geeze!!' i guess i do though. i can't follow people for ish!! so we all rode together and got seated at The Samba Room. This place was so amazing. i felt like i should have worn a tie or something. for real. So as we are sitting, Joe Jurevicius and his wife is sitting right in front of us. I mean they were so close that if i was to toss my fork a few feet in front of me and it would hit their table. So we're eating and Natalie orders all this food. It could have fed a whole tribe in some thrid world country. I don't even know that names of these dishes because i couldn't even pronounce half of the things listed on the menu but it was delicious!! we all kept saying, 'Mmmm.. this is so good!!' we must have said it like five million times!! And the drinks!! one of my drinks had a sugar cane in it. I'm like, 'This is so creative!!' of course we finished everything and Damaye loved her birthday lunch!! she is so adorable. You just want to put her in your pocket sometimes and take her home with you. So we all went home to change clothes and i changed into my new brown coat that i bought a few weeks ago and it was so pimp!! i got a lot of compliments at Hyde Park Cafe. I walk into Damaye's house and inside it was so gorgeous!! her whole family was amazing. I was really impressed how they all got along and her parents still had that special spark. Natalie was telling me how fortunate we ALL were have parents who never split up and stayed together. That is true love!! And when you put effort into a family you just don't give up and work on it. Damaye's mom made the best ethnic food and me and Natalie were all up in the spicy rice. Especially me. i love rice!! Virginia kept saying, 'Hey let's open this bottle of Moet!!' and i'm like, 'Virginia wait!!' ha.. everyone looked so freaking gorgeous!! These girls looked so hott!! wait till i get my film developed!! Natalie just bought these new shoes and they were rocking!! if Paris Hilton was there she would have said 'That's hott!!' And Damaye looked amazing!! when i first saw her i had to hold my breath because she looked so stunning!! We were all excited because we were riding in Ben's Party Bus and so we all could get so wasted and not have to worry about driving drunk!! Ben is just the coolest guy ever!! so we had the hook up at The Hyde Park Cafe -when do i not have the hook up there?- and i saw my buddy Justin and he let us all in through the VIP side. We got so freaking plastered. i got so drunk out of my mind. I had drinks at Damaye's, more drinks on the drive to Hyde Park Cafe, and then more drinks at the club. This guy bought me a tequila shot and i'm like, 'no..' at first then i thought to myself, 'oh what the hell?' so i took it. I also had a Long Island Iced Tea which is my signature drink and then I felt nautious on the way home. I kept telling Natalie, 'I am so sorry for getting this drunk!!' Then i think i passed out in the back seat. I really wanted to go to Josh's after party but it isn't a good idea to head off to party number three when your already this wasted. why didn't i see that coming? Tequila is really really sneaky. It looks like water but it tastes like fire. Very deceiving!! I looked at Mariel and she was wasted too!! Ben took a lot of pictures on his cool ass Cannon camera and i can't wait to see out drunken pictures!! we had a blast. We danced, we drank, we laughed, we hugged, and then we drank some more.. great times!! I'm so glad that Damaye had an awesome birthday!! she really deserves it!! Happy Birthday Damaye!! Your finally twenty one!! Congrats on entering the drinking world!! This keg stand is for you!!

[ ABERCROMBIE LIFE AT CLUB TIAS ]
Fri 06/25: 11:56am: Natalie is so crazy!! she just called me and was like, 'Arthur your going out tonight!! Josh is on his way, and John is coming too!! so come over!!' geeze, she didn't even give me time to blink. so i guess i'm going out after all.. see you guys tomorrow after my hangover!! Later!! <- 3:45am -> okay, i am so wasted right now!! i have no idea what Natalie ordered for me at the bar because i will not remember the name of that drink even if i was to write it on the palm of my hand with permanent marker because my hands got soaked from holding those drinks. we had so much fun tonight!! josh took out his parents BMW SUV so we rode up to Tia's in Night Rider mode. We set the roof on fire like G-Unit and everyone that was anyone was there!! i ran into so many people!! i was walking by then all of the sudden i hear: 'Arthur!!' i turn around and it was Lauren!! i give her this huge hug and then i walk not even five feet away and i hear my name again -and by this time i am feeling like Beyonce with say my name say my name- and it's Christina!! Christina is this hot ass girl who looks just like Ali Larter. i sweat this girl so hard too!! We took pictures so i can't wait to get them developed. she looked so fine!! i noticed how Tia's looks like an Abercrombie and Fitch catalog now. Everyone there was so pretty. And speaking of models, i also ran into my buddy Krystle!! i love that girl so much!! i used to work with her at AE in International. it was so awesome to see her out there!! when we saw each other we needed to make space within the crowd because we were swinging each other around. ha. i couldn't believe it was her!! she is so cute and so sweet!! she tasted my drink and was like, 'mmm that is so good!!' then i tased Josh and John's drink and i have no idea what they ordered but all i could taste was liquor. Josh was making fun of our drinks because he said that it tastes like Kool Aid so we went back to the bar to talk to Nate and he made our drinks stronger. Mmmm.. Then this guy comes from behind me and goes, 'Pimp daddy Arthur!!' it was my friend Matt!! we give this like guy hello thing where you take you hand and make it into a fist and then you hit their hand so that both fists meet together. i don't know, but it's a guy thing. i asked him 'so where is your twin brother Manuel?' and he was telling me how he got kicked out earlier. He always gets so drunk and then he gets kicked out. Awww.. he is so funny. after we left Tias i was so sad because i had to drive all the way home because i am watching my dogs for the weekend while my sister goes to Orlando!! she is so lucky. i'm like, 'take me with you!!' i should sneak into her luggage. She is getting hotel rooms and everything out there. so Josh was telling me that after Damaye's surprise party that we can all spend the night at his parents beautiful house out at Lake Jovita. This house is so freaking pimp that it puts Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion out of comission. For real. these houses at Lake Jovita are off the chain. so I already called 'shotgun!!' Today we are supposed to take Damaye out for lunch and then go back home to change clothes like Jay-Z and then head back out with the crew. it's going to be so much fun!! i am going to wear that Ashton Kutcher blazer that i bought a few weeks ago. it looks so fine!! Tonight was awesome and like i said: i will let the pictures speak for themselves. i should have them back by Sunday afternoon. Night Freek a Leeks!!
[ -pictures- where its at!! ]
LIGHTS OUT
Fri 06/25: POST MORTEM: so i went to Target today to buy some underwear and i don't know what it is but i am so uncomfortable buying underwear when other people are standing around me. i guess i just don't like the fact that people are standing next to me while i'm picking out my underwear. It's just one of my little quirks that i have. so about last night: LeRoy Selmons with The HoneyComb Hideout, White Chicks with Lauren.. Okay, okay.. i've left ya'll in suspense for quite some time now. I've just been so darn busy!! but i promised ya'll some updates so here they are!! and also before i forget, a big 'woo hoo' to having 5,000 visitors!! must celebrate that too. anyway, so all the lights went out at Tampa Palms where my mom lives and the funny thing is that ALL of Tampa Palms was out except my mom's and all the houses after hers!! i guess we just have the TECO hook up!! Thanks Jenn!! so i went to meet up with Sherry, Erica, Jenn, and Megan at LeRoy Selmons for dinner.. and Natalie and Damaye was working that night too. when i saw Natalie she was wearing her glasses and i'm like, 'awww.. Natalie you look so cute!!' and then she was telling me about this Saturday Night. see, it's Damaye's Surprise Birthday Party and it is this Saturday night and we're going to.. dum dum dum.. i will post it after it's all done and over with. I hate Stalkers!! so anyway, we ate there and Dan got us Nacho's from the kitchen. He made them himself!! They were so freaking delicious!! All the girls got salads while i was telling my story to Erica about this Fall and then she busts out with, 'so when does the mall open tomorrow?' I'm like, damn biatch i was still telling my story. We all started laughing. geeze!! Jenn was like, 'that is so freaking hilarious!!' We all started telling stories and then all of the sudden the lights go out. I mean it is pitch black!! This has never happened in the history of LeRoy Selmons. We all started looking around thinking WTF?? then five minutes later the lights come back on. Let's all say this together now: 'Electricity Bill.' Pay the damn thing. Ha. After dinner, these guys at the bar kept requesting to talk to my girls. I know my girls are so fine and all and you know how we do at The HoneyComb Hideout but now we are all getting requests. So we walked over there and I'm like, 'K, can we all go now?' Sherry was like, 'why are we still at LeRoys?' So we left and started saying good-bye outside. It lasted for only two seconds cuz it started lightning and we all ran to our cars like, 'Peace out!!' so i drove back home and Lauren met me at my house because we were going to watch White Chicks at Muvico!! i have been wanting to see this movie for so long now and the wait was finally over. So Lauren is house sitting and we went to walk this dog first named Chance, which is the cutest Beagle i have ever seen!! we got some candy and some granola bars out of the pantry and left. It was actually a mini adventure walking her dog because all the lights were out and we had to find a flashlight by using only Lauren's cell phone for light. We got really creative. So we walked around this house looking for matches and we finally found some. So we left to the movies and got seats right up front. omg.. this is the funniest story ever so listen to this. Me and Lauren are watching previews and I love hanging out with Lauren because we have so much fun and laugh about everything so we're watching this preview to a movie with Sarah Michelle Ghellar and it's this really freaky scary movie and then all of the sudden we see a live figure in front of us, so we started screaming so loud!! and it was this girl who was sitting a few seats to the right of us. i'm like, 'holy crap you scared the crap out of us!!' and she started laughing and was like, 'oh, i'm so sorry.. i just wanted to tell ya'll that you can sit next to us because our friends aren't coming anymore.' I'm like geeze!! why don't you just put on a Scream mask next time and jump our right in front of us. so we moved a few seats over and Lauren was only a seat away from this Abercrombie and Fitch boy. i kept teasing Lauren cuz i was like, 'let's move one seat over.' We kept looking over there and we had to stop. So the movie started and we did nothing but laugh!! especially me!! that movie was so freaking hilarious and they so made fun of rich white girls!! i could NOT stop laughing. Some of those jokes were so true!! holy crap. so after the movie i came home and went straight to bed. i had to wake up early the next day for work so that was the only reason why. i had so much fun at LeRoy Selmons and also watching White Chicks with Lauren. i can't wait for M Night Shalaman's new movie to come out!! i will definately see the premier of that!! i am so full right now!! we got Buca take-out tonight and i ate all of the seafood platter. and I had Carrabbas the other night too and i can't even imagine how many calories i've been taking in. oink oink!! i better hurry up and get my usf id soon so that i can start hitting up the gym with my girl Lauren!! tan is a go getter, but exercise is even better!! it's summer and it is my favorite season of the year!! Later!!
TINY AFRICA
Thur 06/23: -Kracker Barrell, Busch Gardens, Dinner at Carrabbas- so i went to Busch Gardens yesterday (just hitting up all the theme parks within two days) ha. i went ahead and bought a Busch Gardens fun pass for a year because my friend Lauren has one and we're going to go all the time once we start our fall classes at USF. We already got dibs on some gym usage. We are going to be so fine!! tonight we might go see White Chicks since i got home so late yesterday. We had so much fun at Busch Gardens and let me give ya'll the breakdown on my African Safari Adventure!! first we went to eat at Kracker Barrell and i ordered so much food. i didn't want to get too stuffed though cuz it's kinda hard walking around the park in 98 degree weather and did i already mention about all that damn walking i will be doing? dammit!! i'm about to leave again.. but i will have updates later this afternoon!!
ADVENTURE ISLAND WITH TYLER
Tues 06/21: we had so much fun today!! i'm still in need of a shower cuz i've been out in the sun all day so i'll be right back!! -okay- i'm back!! today was so crazy!! i had like 2.4 minutes to change out of my clothes and into my swimming trunks and t-shirt for my day at Adventure Island. i haven't been to Adventure Island in years so i was excited to go!! Tyler recently got his free tickets so we headed out there since my family was going to Busch Gardens anyway which is right across the street. when we first got in there, i saw that the lines on every ride was so freaking long. But luckily Tyler already made friends with the people at some of the booths so we got up front and acted like we were working then go on the rides. ha. it was so much fun!! People kept asking us for directions and we would be like, 'sorry, we don't work here..' Tyler said that next time we should give out directions to the wrong area. Nerd. We got tired after a while so we went on the lazy river. Everyone we saw was so freaking cool too!! People kept talking to us like they knew us for years. One girl asked me where i was from and i said Tampa. She goes no way.. i thought you were from Cali. Then i explained to her that originally i was from Cali but since i've moved here i'm typically a Tampa native now. i really like meeting all kinds of new people, especially ones from around the world. We met one kid who had the coolest accent from Venezuela. We also went to the wave pool and Tyler kept saying, 'look!! it's counting down!! let's hurry and catch the huge wave!!' so we swim out to the deep and and i'm like, 'okay.. here we go!!' then i look over at him and he has this HUGE smirk on his face and i go, 'what? ..why are you smiling?' Then he goes, 'just wait.. just wait..' Then when the timer counted down to zero, nothing happened. I'm like, 'Tyler you are such a nerd!!' dragging me out there to wait for nothing. so then we got hungry and ate at one of the food stands there. i didn't like the food so we before we left we got these really cool futuristic ice cream that were entirely made of dots!! mmm.. it was so good. we had so much fun!! afterwards we went to eat at Shells Seafood and i got the oysters (which are gross by the way.. never order it) and also the lobster tail pasta. That i ate all of. Mmmm.. i love lobster and pasta!! i met up with my family and Tyler drove back to meet with his parents back at his apartment. tonight my best friend Erica called me and told me that Paul might know of a house party so i might go to that. If not then we'll all meet up to go with Lauren out to Brickyard!! i can't wait to go to USF!! me and Lauren are going to have so much fun!! anyway, i have to get ready for tonight. I'll see you guys later and i should have my pictures back of Club Bennigans and also of Steve's after party. Later!!
:: princess melissa ::
Sun 06/20: Happy Father's Day everyone!! i have a ton of celebrity updates.. but here is what Melissa has to say: Let’s talk about Prince. First, there were three non-ridiculous outfit changes and no lip-syncing. Can’t say the same for Onyx Hotel, Britney. Well, Prince did come out in an asymmetrical purple blazer at one point only to trump that with a red polka-dot pirate blouse. But he’s Prince. He can do that. He had matching red velvet wedge heels for the shirt too. How cute is he? And his mini moustache was just vintage. Go Prince, you go. I was in the sixth row right above the floor level. I could throw a drink at Prince and get him a little wet. I wouldn’t throw any drinks though because those bitches cost $31. For two drinks! I was like, this shit better be some magic potion that makes me fly or something. That price is outrageous. I could have javelin-thrown myself on stage though. That’s how close I was. I was in a celebrity section (Rick Fox, Flex, Shanice, some dude that looked like he plays with Uncle Kracker) so that automatically means good seats. Did I mention yet that these tickets were free? Yes, girl. Free tickets to good seats at Prince. The only way this experience could be any better is if Prince paid my rent. At the top of the show, Prince gave everybody a free CD. I’m sure the price of the CD was built into the price of the ticket, but still it seemed like from the start good shit was about to go down and he delivered. He sang all the old songs. The good ones. Nothing Compares 2 U, Purple Rain complete with an encore of the line “hoo hoo hoo hoo? He just kept repeating it, and by the time that song came on, some people in my row left (why?) and Coral and I used the extra space to really dance. Oh, we were dancing. Dancing as if a man behind was cracking a whip on our backs if we didn’t. We just couldn’t stop. I made love to the seat in front of me more than a few times. 2 Live Crew style, get arrested Bobby Brown style. Prince just brings it out of me. Oh snap, Morris Day and The Time came out and they were still doing the same dances. Jungle Love. Yessssss. Oh wee oh wee oh. I dusted off my knees and got it cracking on the Junge Love dance too. And the bird. My daddy would be proud. The lyrics to most of these songs really make me laugh. Girl, you got a pretty car. I think I wanna drive it, drive it. Yeah, but it’s my car. Looks like the passenger side for you. I ain’t got no money. I’m rich in personality. I feel that, man. Now, let’s talk about the part of the show where girls from the audience get to come on stage. They had to be plants. Like Prince’s cousin and the drummer in NPG’s auntie or something. They simply were not excited enough. Just not excited enough. Prince got really close to one girl with the microphone (he didn’t grind on her which I was so hoping he would) and she just took it and sang all the right words. Who really knows all the right words to say to a Prince song? I get my mumble on to most of the songs, so how is she knowing all the words and, and, and! not having a heart attack? I would have sliced Prince’s neck open with my earring, grabbed his eye out of his face. I would have to at least take him aside and be like, “What’s up for tonight??None of that happened and a ten-year-old boy was dancing up there with a purple suit on. Totally had to be Prince’s nephew. Nepotism. Why is no one in my family in the Prince camp? Why do none of the Howards work for the Oscars or the Grammys? What do we Howards do? I don’t even have an in at the post office. My dad said if you even so much as pick up a quarter off the ground in the post office, the government is straight up watching you. I guess my mom could get me a prime seat in the TV lounge at the old folks?home, but how is that a prize? If I got the orange Jell-O with the prime seat, maybe. Coral had on her snake armpiece jewelry. Her crazy shit that she stole from Lenny Kravitz and she hugged me while telling me this was one of the greatest experiences of her life and in doing that she ripped my tank top right at the boob. My whole nipple was out. I had to wear the shit backwards for the rest of the show. Didn’t hinder any of my dance moves though. I broke my neck a few times to see what Rick Fox was doing. Staring at celebrities at a concert in the Staples Center is so much easier to pull off. He was messing with his two-way half the time. But fine as hell. Like illegal fine as hell. His face. The chiseled face of heaven with the fresh stubble and the gleaming white teeth. Makes me want to watch basketball. Not really, but still. Vanessa is out of her mind to let him go to Prince by his lonesome. Out of her damn mind. If I were Gisele or like a couple feet taller, I’d be right over there with my nipple in his face like take one good look at your past (holding a picture of Vanessa) and we're out. I lie! I would never roll up on Rick Fox. Not in this life. Not in this short body, and surely not at the Prince concert. If you have an opportunity to go see Prince, you just have to. You’ll lose your voice. Your butt will hurt from all the grinding, but it’s so worth it. He’s the shit. And wear flip flops. Don’t be trying to be cute in your little heels because bitch you won't be sitting down the entire time. You will be on your feet like Gloria Estefan told you to do it. I would so be Prince’s girlfriend. We could share clothes.
more coming soon..
'THAT'S HOTT!!'
Sat 06/19: we had so much fun Saturday night!! so much happened!! from 'that's hott' to Hockey Jerseys to porn to Steve's drinking games. okay, let me give you guys the breakdown before ya'll have a heart attack since i said the word PORN on my website. okay so i got off work early to meet Sherry, Jenn, Erica, Megan, Charlie, and Becky at Club Bennigans for dinner. my managers at work are so awesome and they always let me have the perfect hours that i want. i'm like, 'Can i leave early so that i can party with my friends?' then my manager tells me, 'As long as you can make it back to work tomorrow morning..' aww damn.. this means that my drinking ability for my saturday night is limited. I said okay though so that i could go home and get ready. I stopped by Natalie's work so that i could drop off this -welcome back- card that i got for her. She is so cute cuz when i visited her at work she so put everything off to the side to give me her full attention even though LeRoy's was so busy. i love her so much!! she was like, 'Josh is coming up here!! You should come back and have a few drinks and hang out!!' but i couldn't because i was already meeting Sherry and Jenn for dinner. so i took a rain-check and left her the card. when we got to Club B's me and Erica shared the Salmon Salad. it's actually really good because not only it's super healthy but i love Salmon to begin with. Becky, Erica, Jenn, and Sherry were so tan from laying out at the beach. i looked so white sitting next to them. so i moved a few chairs over away from them. jk!! jk!! after dinner i called up Paul and Steve to see what they were doing so we went over there. But before we even went over there we all went outside where these guys pulled up next to us and was starring at all the girls. One guy was like, 'Hey!!' and then another guy was like, 'Hi ladies.' Then Erica goes, 'Ewww.. your old!!' and then Sherry goes, 'and your starting to scare us!!' hahahaha!! it was so freaking hilarious!! what wierdos!! so we get to Steve's place and he is about to leave and we're like, 'but we just got here!!' then he expalined to us that he was going to step out to pick up Adam and that we could stay and hang out for a while. awesome, so i look over at Sherry and Jenn and i'm like, 'can we all say House Party?' ha.. that would have been so funny if we really did invite like a million people over while he was gone. So somehow somewhere porn was turned on and we all sat there and watched it. Aaron called Sherry's phone and was like, 'hey babe, what are you guys doing?' We had the TV on blast mode and you can hear everything, so she was like, 'we're watching porn!!' ha, so he was like, 'k, i'll call you back later.' Ha. Jenn was like, 'uh uh.. these girls are off the chain.' At some scenes we were all literally tilting our heads trying to figure out how these people are doing these moves. it was very educational though. some parts we were like, 'what is that?' then carefully watching it again we'd say, 'ohhhhhhh ok.' I didn't know that some of those positions were even physically possible. Not even fifteen minutes later Steve's door opens and it's Paul holding like two cases of beer!! we were all like, 'ummm.. so in so did it!!' pointing fingers at each other. ha. Paul was like, 'what are you guys watching!!' we all started laughing!! it was the funniest ish ever. Once Adam and Steve got there we turned off the pron and started playing drinking games. i love drinking games!! it's a great excuse to get so plastered!! so we're taking so many pictures of just everything and no one is really paying attention to the game. We must have taken like eight random pictures that night. We kept saying, 'so who's turn is it?' we went through all three bottles of wine. Me, Erica, and Sherry all got a bottle each. Alcoholics R Us!! we were slowly getting wasted one by one. How did i know this? it's because after a while our names started changing from Jenn to Ven, and from Becky to Benny. These are all signs of drunkeness. It's kinda like impaired vision with Snickers only we do it with alcohol. so then we started playing darts and i kept getting near the target!! i think i do better when i'm not really paying any attention. So then me and Becky went into Bobby's room and got out his Hockey Jerseys. i found this really large one in his closet. I looked so funny in his jersey because it was like extra extra large and i am extra small. so it looked like i was wearing Warren Sapp's jersey. We took so many pictures of that too. Erica had on Bobby's sports jacket and Becky wore Bobby's other hockey jersey. Becky kept saying, 'ewww!! hurry up and take the picture because i can still smell the sweat from Bobby's jersey.' Then i looked over at my jersey and thought, oh damn.. are these jerseys not washed yet? Ewww. so we took the pictures and quickly threw them off. it was so funny. Then they all wanted to head over to the Casino afterwards but i had to work early the next day. i mean 9am isn't early to some people but when you're on Party Mode like i am, it's pretty freaking early. So then Sherry and Jenn didn't want to go either so the three of us called it a night. we closed down the fort for some sleep time and we will open first thing tomorrow at twelve. Ha. i can't wait to head over to San Marco Island for Paul's House Party. i can't believe he has the entire house to himself. Me and Erica are going to have so much fun!! and i can't wait to get the pictures back!!
Tyler tying to be a pimp!!
Fri 06/18: i'm on my way to Tyler's right now so I don't have much time to talk about my day but when i do get back i promise to have more updates!! Later!!
-> i'm back!! Tyler is such a nerd!! he wears his glasses when he needs to watch a movie. He literally gets off the couch and takes off his contacts!! i'm like, why don't you just wear your glasses? ha. So tonight we watched The Confidence and to tell you the truth i could have really cared less about this movie. i was mainly playing with Tyler's new dog and also taking pictures with his camera phone!! i really want a new camera phone!! it seems like everyone has one but me!! :( ..that is supposed to be a sad face by the way. Well Tyler kept asking me if I will try out for The Real World again and i'm like 'Tyler I am way too old for Reality TV!!' I was all into the whole reality tv thing before but after going through that whole casting process, its just not worth it and i want to spend my time on my school rather than on getting interviewed by Bunim and Murray Producers. I remember getting asked so many personal questions and then having only a fifteen minute break, then going back into the room and be asked 5-million more questions.. after i was done i wanted to go to Super Wal-Mart and just walk around the store aimlessly. Me and this girl Rachel who was also a finalist kept taking all little bags of chips from the hotel room because MTV is so freaking cheap and so we took a bunch and ate them later on in the lobby. ha. I was in a conundrum. is that even a real word? i've heard it before so I'm trying to use it in a sentence but i think i used it wrong. I do that sometimes and i really have no idea what the word means. :) So anyway, back to what i was saying, Tyler had tried out for a show called FM Nation a few years ago and i'm like, 'no way!! i tried out for that show too!!' so it was funny because when he tried out for the show he was all the way in Austin and he told the producers that he could make waves with his tongue. I don't know what he did but he got called back. Reality Shows can be fun but it also depends on where you are at in your life. Like for me to leave Tampa for six months is preposterous since i have like a million more things to do and also it's hard to get my Grant money for school and just throw it all away for a semester. Plus the simple fact that I am more likey to be placed on MTV's Road Rules just puts goose bumps up my spine since I hate sky diving or hiking or anything that has to do with Mother Nature so no more casting for me. i think Tyler should try out since he is really funny and he has a more interesting background than i do. So I bought these two coats today and they are similar to the ones that Ashton Kutcher wears. I don't like to relate my clothes to Ashton Kutcher's but he is the only person that i can think of who wears what i bought today. So i bought a brown blazer jacket and then this Navy Blue coat. They are both really pimp and i can't wait to wear them out. I know.. i know.. that it is hot as hell here in Tampa but i didn't get these to sport them in a couple months. i want to wear them asap. I watched Dodge Ball tonight with my family and it was pretty funny. It has like an Adam Sandler feel to it. I just get amazed at how they always choose the same people to play these roles. I've seen so many movies with that guy from Meet The Parents with that guy from The Haunting. They are -always- together!! in better news i picked up my paycheck today and one of the first things i did was go to Publix and by my US Weekly and InTouch magazines. My sister and i took one each and started reading. I love reading US Weekly!! it's my favorite next to Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream!! It's like a Celebrity Encyclopedia. One thing that i have learned living the life that i do is that i have to keep some things private. I read about all these Celebrities and I'm like, geeze!! Leave them alone!! they get followed around everywhere they go and i'm sure it gets annoying sometimes. I can completely relate. What i post on my sites are really just 45% of what goes on in my life. i couldn't imagine posting everything on my site since there are people out there -who i like to call: Tampa Poperazi- all wanting to get into my biz-nazz!! I keep my relationships private, my talks with my best friends private, and so many other things that are really important to me private. Even though i have this site, i am a very private person. If you ask any of my best friends they can all tell you. i just don't think that everyone needs to know every inch of my business. you know what i mean? one of the craziest things i think about my sites is that i have had people come up to me and at the strangest places and say, 'Hey! your Arthur?' i'm serious too because i will have people in the middle of the street and stop me to let me know that they've seen my website. i'm like 'gee, thanks!!' but i walk away thinking, 'do i even know that person?' i mean they mean well, it just makes me realize that i should post things PG-13 on my sites since people are reading and looking at the things i post. So i went back and made sure that i didn't post anything too graphic or too much. One lady that came up to me at Sherry's Graduation and told me that 'wow!! i love your website!! your life is so amazing!! it's like an open book' and when she said that i looked over at Becky and i'm like, 'i have no idea who they were!!' it's like a book only it's hard because it's not easy keeping out those people who you do NOT want to see your site. I wish there was some type of filter that i could use so that i can keep certain people away from what goes on in my life. so i feel these Celebs and i can't imagine living life always having to make sure that you are at your best behavior because you are being watched. it's also kinda scary. Me and my friends just laugh about it because it's so crazy how far some people will go to be a part of our lifestyle. It's like we all know, but then again we just keep our mouths shut because we are just too nice of people. So this Key West trip is coming up soon and i still need to get a fishing permit. Josh said that i need to get one so that i can help him catch lobsters. Natalie and I look at him like he's crazy cuz he really thinks that we enjoy picking up underwater creepy crawlers. Ahhh!! i know i'm going to end up dropping one. Eric's Party is around the corner too and i can't wait to go!! i need to find a shirt for it. Jenn and Megan went to Internation today and i should have went with them. My neice comes in from Las Vegas this week and so i bought her this bracelet from The Sanrio Store and it has her initials on it. It's really cute. OR 'that's hot!!' omg!! me and Jenn kept saying this all day long. I can't stop laughing about it. It's such a long story so i will just leave it at that. Most inside jokes are hard to explain anyway, and i think that is why they are called 'inside jokes'. But I can't wait to see Abigail since I haven't seen her since my trip to Sin City on Valentine's Day Weekend. I am so taking her to the Mall Of Millenia. Well i better go to bed soon because i still need to brush my teeth and get a new band-aid for my hand. Tyler's dog 'Little Nino' bit me (but it wasn't intentional, the little bastard) jk!! i just have little tiny bite marks on my hand, i guess my hand looked like egg rolls to little Nino because he sooo bit it and i need to get a new band-aid. why me!! anyway, i am off to bed. Nite!! ps.. -ARTHUR and ERIC'S 80's PARTY- Thur 06/17: i can't wait for next month!! Fourth of July at Davis Island and also Eric's Luau. we're already planning on a new party which will be an 80's theme!! i can't freaking wait!! we are always trying to keep it Original here at The HoneyComb Hideout and throwing new things so when i talked to Eric about an 80's party already we started planning. So this new collaboration will be so tight!! i love my life!! it is never a dull moment. So when i find out more news and also an exact date i will post it on here.. anyway, i gotta get to bed!! i'm so tired!! i have a huge day ahead of me tomorrow.. i have to pick up my Paycheck!! halleluah!! and i'm off to the mall!! Later!! ps.. be back on today's post!!
THE SIMPLE LIFE 2
Wed 06/17: today was family fun day for me. I didn't have to go into work so i hung out with my neices all day long. It was actually so much fun!! we watched a couple episodes of Goosebumps on VHS!! i haven't seen these shows since i was little and some of these stories by R.L. Stine are so freaking scary. I'm like, 'are these really for kids?' The first one we watched was about this Dummy that comes to life. First off, Puppets scare the hell outta me and if I ever was to see one out somewhere, I'd probably put it away in a closet. We drank Squeeze Its and from there, I knew that I had to do this more often. Being a kid for a day is such a stress reliever. You forget about work and car insurance and college. We just sat there playing video games and watching Scooby Doo on The Cartoon Network!! I miss all that stuff. Don't let me break it down -break it down for ya'll!! Lunchables, those Cheese peel it yourself things, lunchboxes, Capri Suns, and mini Sunny D's. omg!! i could re-live today over and over again. We also made these bead things where you iron it after you are done placing all the colors in the right areas and in the end it melts together to create an shape or animal. Today I made a cute panda. i stole the idea from Jenesi so shout outs to her. Maya made a butterly and Jenesi made a dolphin. Then the neighbors came over and they played for a while. It's so funny watching them all play, and then fight, and then make up, and then fight again, and then make up. Kids are so hilarious!! After all that playing I got so hungry. It seems like I am always hungry. For dinner Consuelo, Adam, and I had Chinese Take-Out. MMMmmm! We have this really great Chinese place here by our house that we go to all the time. But the bad thing is, is that I have been eating all this junk food and I haven't been working out. I totally ate a whole bag of potato chips last night. and then chased it with ice cream and apple pie. I am such a fatty!! I'm not so worried about gaining the pounds really or the calories, but I am worried about my cardiovascular system. Did I just use a word that has more than three syllables? I need to start running again. For real. If not towards the refrigerator then to the gym. Tonight we watched Tomb Raider 2 and Angelina Jolie is so hott!! i don't know what it is but she is so fine!! I love her lips and plus she just has a sexy sex appeal to her. We also watched the Simple Life 2 and we were all dying how they kept saying Tampa and Ybor. It's wierd hearing these names on National Television and then when Paris fell off the horse and went to St Josephs Hospital I couldn't stop freaking out. They even went to Coyote Ugly Saloon here in Tampa where i had my birthday party at. They also went to The Dallas Bull but they didn't show that yet on Fox. They might show that scene on next weeks show. I can't believe that that one lady left her only child with Paris and Nicole. It's like leaving your child with two monkeys. I was like 'uh uh, no they did not just loose that little girl!!' How do you loose a little girl playing hide and go seek in a trailer park? And when Nicole told the cop to 'shut up' when Paris got pulled over i was like, 'she is off the chain!!' How do you not have a drivers licence with you when you know that you are going to be driving all across America. But I love Paris and Nicole and i am so excited that the show is finally here!! i'm going to watch every show!! anyway, today was so much fun!! see you guys later!! i get paid Friday!! big pimpin!!
[ Celebrity Life: Paris, Brian, and Nikki Hilton ]
THE STEPFORD WIVES
Tues 06/16: Last night me and Jenn went to go see The Stepford Wives at Muvico!! it was such an awesome movie!! i think we haven't laughed that hard in so long!! -looking back, i think the last time we laughed that hard was when we were watching the Texas Chainsaw Massicare in my room.. I know that it's a Horror Movie but it's a long story.. you just have to had been there- so anyway, we rushed into the theatres because it had been raining all day and we had to choose between Soul Plane and The Stepford Wives. We bought tickets to go see Soul Plane originally, but when we asked the guy at the ticket booth what he thought about Soul Plane he told us that it sucked so me and Jenn looked at each other and thought, 'dammit we better switch these tickets!!' so we got The Stepford Wives tickets instead. We walk up to the consession stand, aka 'take all of your money for nacho's stand' because all the prices for food at Muvico are off the chain. I think Jenn spent like thirty dollars last night. Geeze!! The guy brings out my nachos and Jenn takes a bite and goes, 'Eww.. these chips are stale!!' and I'm like, 'no Jenn.. let me try.' I took one bite and I couldn't even do that because the damn thing was so hard so I ask the guy again, 'Ummm.. these are really stale!! We need another batch.' So then this other dude next to us goes, 'So you guys got stale chips too?' Ha. I tell him, 'Yeah, those chips are off the heezey for cheesy.' So he brings out a fresh new batch and these ones were way better. Jenn ordered the wings with fries and that ish is so freaking delicious too!! We were hungry hungry Somalians. We went into Theatre 5 like the ticket stub had said and as were walking in I see that the entire theatre was filled. Jenn goes, 'oohh.. I see some seats up there!!' I'm like, 'yess!! great!!' so as we're walking closer I look at Jenn and I'm like, 'Jenn, you need to put on your glasses cuz their aren't any seats up there!!' Ha. It was so freaking dark in Theatre 5. So we sat up front and watched the movie there. There were so many parts of this movie that I loved and me and Jenn were dying laughing. There was this one scene where Faith Hill was having daytime sex with her husband and she kept screaming 'Ohh!! I'm so lucky!! ..your the best!!' then in the end she screams really long!! Ha. Yeah right. There are a lot of girls out their who claim that they have great sex. Yeah right.. you wish!! It's only done with the 'right' people. Ha. So then when we found out that these 'Stepford Wives' were a bunch of robots, we were like 'yikes'. It gives it away in the previews but Nicole Kidman played such an amazing role that you can feel her acting throughout the movie. But it had a really great ending and me and Jenn were like, 'That was SUCH a great movie!!' I'm so glad that we went to go see it!! Aww.. Jenn!! Thanks for taking me to go see that movie!! You are my bestest friend. 'Hey, you got weave!!' wait a minute.. you're not Jenn!!' hahahah I will never forget last night in the car!! That was so freaking hilarious.. it's those times that just makes me think how lucky we are!! No matter what we are doing we always have so much fun and we keep it real!! Love you Jenn!! You are my best friend!! I can't wait for The Fourth Of July at Davis Island and also Eric's Hawaiian Luau!! we're going to have so much fun!! Later!!
Sherry's Birthday Party ..pictures are here!!
Okay so it has been a couple of days now so let me refresh my memory and try to re-cap on our Friday night at Banana Joes for Sherry's Birthday Party. So first things first, I was the last person to show up at Sherry's cuz I was running late.. when I got there I gave Sherry her birthday card which was cute because I had attached her picture on the inside. We drank the rest of Jenn's Sangria and then left to Margarita Mama's for dinner. Our waiter was really cool but it was his first day on the job so he kept forgetting to bring out our food. No wait.. he DID forget to bring out our food so he felt so bad, appologized, then said that our meal was on him. So we didn't have to pay for dinner. I wanted to get drunk already so I ordered the same drink that Megan and Erica had gotten. I didn't realize that we were going to take in so much liquor that night at Banana Joes and this story gets real interesting so just wait to what happens next when people stop being polite and start getting real wasted. Real World San Diego's Robin has nothing on Jenn. So we finished dinner and headed over to Banana Joes and got so plastered!! i mean we got so wasted out of our minds. First it was Sherry, and I think that damn Mexican food had a lot to do with it, but we under estimated the words: Ladies Drink Free. We must have had over twenty drinks between all of us. And that isn't even including the shots these guys were buying us. Right as the DJ played 50 Cent's In Da Club, we all went buck wild and started jamming on the islands that were in the middle of the dance floor. I mean we literally tore the dancefloor up. We had so much fun!! and of course, my girls, like always were the finest ones there. All Eyes On Us!! We took a ton of pictures so I'll have them up here asap.. anyway, so Sherry and Aaron went home first because Mexican food + tons of drinks + dancing all night long does not = a happy stomach. So they were the first ones to dip. Second was Nicole cuz she wanted to head over to The Falls and Peabodies so they left and we were going to try to meet up with them. So right before we leave, we have our last few drinks and as we're walking out, Jenn and Erica was talking to the bartender. I'm like, 'K let's go.. I want to head over to The Falls!!' We leave and we see Charlie's friends outside. Now Jenn is usually not a shit talker but a truth talker, but when she consumes way too much alcohol she starts talking a lot of ish. It's actually really hilarious but she was off the chain this night. So she walks over to this car and takes this guys baseball cap and wears it for like ten minutes. Then she leans over and tells the guy, 'Hey stop talking to that bitch right there' (talking about this dudes girlfriend) and she tells him to listen to her. The girl was like, 'Uh uh she just called me a bitch.' Ha. I could NOT stop laughing. Then I told her that Jenn was drunk and we were like, 'Okay it's time to leave.' so then Megan and Charlie leave to go home and we ended up riding with Chris to The Falls. No one was there and the place was so empty so Chris just drove us back to my car. Now I don't know if you guys have seen the Exorcist but I re-lived it in my car. You know.. the scene where Linda Blair pukes all over the room. Yeah.. so we're driving home and I'm like, 'Jenn are you okay?' She looks at me and she goes, 'I really don't feel good.' We're not even like two minutes from her house then all of the sudden she puts her hands over her mouth and i'm like, 'OMG.. no freaking way..' Then she just pukes all over herself.. no wait.. there's more!! the Adventure doesn't end there.. so she leans over to me and throws up on me. All over my new jeans, all over my shirt, all over my seat, her seat, my radio, the middle of my car, her side, the floor, and also on my car door. Am I leaving anything else out? Yeah so she freaking did the Exorcist in my car. I felt so bad for her and really I love Jenn to death. If it was anyone else to do that in my car I would have kicked them out. Seriously, there was throw up everywhere!! I'm like, 'Are you freaking kidding me?' I feel like just giving Jenn the keys to my car and saying, 'Here you go.. just throw it over the Grand Canyon, or just drive it into a lake or something!!' Ha. So I walk her into her apartment and told her to just jump in the shower and take her nasty ass clothes off. So she goes and takes a shower and I tuck her into bed. I'm looking at her and I'm like, 'Jenn, you actually look Really good right now!!' Her hair was soaking wet but she looked so cute. I looked at her and I'm thinking this girl is my best friend. My best friend for like six years straight.. and never once have I seen this girl like this. She kept moaning, 'I am never going to do this again..' and I'm like 'awww.. Jenn, stop talking shit..' Ha!! I feel so bad for her. My Jennsies wensies woo woo woo. Well I think she learned a valuable lesson and the moral to this story is to look both ways before crossing the road. THE END.. more coming soon..
MTV Movie Awards
Thur 06/10: i spent the entire afternoon at The Univeristy Of South Florida trying to get into the Advertising Program which is under Mass Communications. I'm actually learning a lot of new vocab and about my upcoming classes and so far, i've gotten lost just from the Theatre Parking Lot to the Registering Office. The map they gave me doesn't do ish because all of the buildings look alike to me. i kept asking people for help and everyone was actually so helpful. I finally spoke with my councelor and so we sat down and discussed about what I need to do before this Fall. i still have this EDT test to take and hopefully I will pass it on my first try. I heard that this test was hard but I'm going to take the study guide home with me. There are so many fee's too along with registering. My classes look fun since I have to take Advertising, Journalism, Televison, and Magazine. How easy can my classes get? i will be going to school studying all the things that I love to begin with. Tomorrow I have to fork over four hundred dollars for my summer classes and then another thirty for my USF registration. Geeze.. i might as well just hand them over my entire wallet and say 'here you go, there is my life savings'. For real!! some of these fee's are off the chain. Tonight was the MTV Movie Awards but before I get into that let me talk about my evening. So I'm talking to my best friend Jenn and her and Megan are having dinner at LeRoy Selmons. I love that place!! As I'm talking to her she is like, 'Guess who is our waitress?' and I'm like, 'Who?' She goes, 'Natalie!!' awww.. so Jenn hands over her phone to her and I'm like, 'What's going on?' I miss Natalie so much!! Her and Josh are moving to Orlando in the Fall where she will be attending UCF for her next two years. I'm told them that I'd be visiting them like every weekend!! I can't wait!! So I drive up to LeRoy's to pick up Megs and Jenn to leave to Winners Grill to watch the basketball game. But before I left I said goodbye to Natalie and Damaye and told them to call me later this week. So we went to Winners to meet with Charlie and then I realized that The MTV Movie Awards was on so I left to go watch it. Now first things first before I forget, Lindsay Lohan is so fine hands down. She must be one of the most beautiful girls walking on the face of this planet. When I saw her hosting the show I'm like, 'Damn.. she is so fine!!' Fine like as in Denise Richards fine. We are all learning new vocabulary here. So I watched some of it because Adam just got new records and he wanted me to listen to a few of them so I kept going back and forth. There are so many new movies out that its so hard to choose which one I want to see first. It's like when you first walk into Nordstrom and there is so much to look at and you don't know what to look at first. Let's see, there is Terminal with Tom Hanks and he plays this charachter where he is stuck at the airport and he can't leave. I don't know how someone can write about this and then make a movie out of it. I really want to see the new Harry Potter and I'm such a nerd for wanting to see it but the first ones weren't so bad and I am such a sci-fi nerd!! I get hooked onto all the cool graphics. Dodgeball I probably won't go see but rent on DVD when it comes out to Blockbuster, but I will go see White Chicks. How funny is this movie? When i first saw the previews and they are all in the car and they start busting out: 'To the windows!!' i couldn't help but laugh for about eight minutes. Spiderman 2 I will go see, as well as X-Men 3. I, Robot looks retarded but the Exorcist The Beginning looks so scary. I remember my first time seeing that movie and then they re-did one of the scenes a few years ago and showed that one scene of Linda Blair running down the stairs backwards.. ewww!! i can't watch that scene without getting shivers down my spine. I will probably watch that with like a huge group of people just like I did with the first Blair Witch Project. I couldn't sleep by myself for weeks. But the movies I am looking forward to are Resident Evil 2, Blade 2, and Meet The Fockers. Ha. I love sequals!! anyway, I am off to bed. Night everyone!!
i love my perfect life!!

Let it go for 2004...by T. D. Jakes
There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19] People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!! If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to ..LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ...LET IT GO!!! If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth...LET IT GO!!! If someone has angered you ... LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge.. LET IT GO!!! If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction... LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents ... LET IT GO!!! If you have a bad attitude... LET IT GO!!! If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better... LET IT GO!!! If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him... LET IT GO!!! If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship.... LET IT GO!!! If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves...LET IT GO!!! If you're feeling depressed and stressed.... LET IT GO!!! If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to... LET IT GO!!! Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is doing a new thing for 2004!!! LET IT GO!!! Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then LET IT GO!!!

Wed 06/09: i am so sleepy!! i am going to bed soon and I'm turning my ringer off on my house phone. the dogs are already alseep and the last thing i need to be doing is to be waking them up. One of my dogs is right next to me -Chilli- ..he is so passed out right now. so tonight Tyler called me up to go see Life As A House on DVD. I love that movie!! Tyler is such a nerd because he is the only person I know who alphabetizes his DVD's!! At first i was joking and saying, 'It looks like you put all these in order..' and when i looked at them closer, he actually did!! Then he was like, 'okay you can stop making fun of me now' and I told him, 'Ha! I'm just kidding. well whatever.. i suffer from OCD where I make sure that all my doors are locked before i can even walk away from my car..' I caught myself doing that today and my car was inside my garage!! Let's all say it together now: obsessive compulsive disorder!! Ha. I am such a nerd!! Today my sister and i went to do our oil changes for our cars because i am like a thousand miles overdue.. yeah I am ghetto fabulous.. and it cost me like thrity five dollars!! whatever happened to when oil changes were like twelve dollars? everything now is so damn expensive these days. Even gasoline. I'm going to start riding my bike to the club. Ha! I looked at the mechanic to see if he was going to say, 'just kidding' but he had on his serious face so he wasn't joking about the price. I was waiting for Ashton Kutcher to come out saying that I just got Punked!! There goes my money for the movies this week!! I still have to pay thirty dollars for this EDT test I have to take at USF and then fill up my gas for next week before i even get my next paycheck. This waiting to get paid part of working isn't as easy as I thought. I feel like I'm in detention and I'm looking at the clock thinking, 'is it freaking time yet?' So while we were waiting we went over to Pier One Imports and bought some stuff for the house. I really liked this one cabinet, and with my discount we'd be getting like a hundred dollars off so we might go back to get it. Plus we need these sales because they are cutting back our hours. Nate called me and told me that I didn't have to come in for my shift and I'm like, 'psshht.. i didn't want to come into work anyway..' jk.. We both work Saturday night so that should be fun. We bought Jenesi and Maya these cute hanging decorations for their rooms. I can't really explain them but they look like those things that they would sell at Urban Outfitters except these are cloth. It's not up yet because i still haven't figured out how to use the hooks on them. I read the directions and it even came with pictures but i still can't figure it out. I feel like I'm reading heiroglyphics. anyway, anything that has to do with hardware we wait till Adam gets home and he does all that stuff for us. So I ended up playing X-Box with my neice right before Tyler called. It was so funny because I was all into the game and its so hard talking on the phone and fighting monsters at the same time. He was like, 'Do you want me to let you go?' and I'm like 'no no, I'm listening now..' Ha. I must have said that like ten times. Then I call up my best friend Jenn and I do the same thing with her. We talk on the phone when we're not even talking. We'll sit there with the phone to our ears and be doing something else. Ha. I love Jenn!! Also earlier today we went to Target today because my sister loves Starbucks and so I got some more of those sushi combo things!! we got two packs and of course i ate all of mine. My sister is like, 'How do you eat all this food and you never gain weight?' I'm like, 'I don't know.. do you think there is another person inside me eating?' Ha. 'I have a really high met-tra-bolism, I have a really high metabolism..' from -Legally Blonde- My friend Manuel asks me if I should start taking those GMC weight gainers with him before and then I saw what happened to Corey Haim so then I told him 'ummm.. no thanks.' I'm actually really comfortable with the way I look physically, I just need to make sure that I don't forget to start going to the gym with Lauren once classes start at USF in the Fall. And speaking of appearances, I'm growing my hair out so that I can actually style it. My best friend Erica has been dying for me to grow it out so I'm just going to do it. It's so hard since I've had it this way for so long and plus I haven't had a fade in two and a half weeks but I'm just going to let it grow out. I'm excited cuz I needed a change. Anyway, i'm tired and i have to get up early tomorrow so it's lights out!! Night everyone!!

Fri 06/04: man, i feel like for this weekend i need to invest in a really nice pillow from Target since i will be having lots of up-coming hangovers!! last night was so much fun but let me tell you all of what's coming up first. K, so first off, Saturday is Zannette's Birthday Party at Nicole's, then Sunday is Sherry's Birthday Party out in Clearwater. Nuff said. i think when it comes to my friends birthday parties i do not need to get into further detail about our engagements because everyone knows that we're going to get wasted!! like i said, i need to invest on some Target pillows. So yesterday i worked all day at my store and i had so much fun. I told my manager that it doesn't even feel like work since I have so much fun with my co-workers. I feel like I'm just hanging out with friends and then giving customers my advice on their purchases. I feel like i'm on Trading Spaces. I even helped out this one lady buy a really cute wicker chair for her patio area. She was so excited when I told her that it was one of my favorites pieces in our store. We just got it in and already it is on sale. So she is coming back for the actual chair cuz all she could fit into her Toyota Camry was the footrest. I love my job!! Even though this thing that i do is called work, or in Spanish: trabajo, i still do not grasp the whole concept since i only work part time. I feel bad for the full timers because i be getting tired after like five hours of work. Five hours of anything is tiring. Hands down to all my peeps that work full time.. if you can see me right now I'm throwing you down some gang symbols. I got off work, went shopping for Zannette's cute birthday gift, then talked to Erica and she was telling me to meet them all at Chilli's for dinner. So i rush home because those bastards started drinking without me, got ready, and head over to Club Chilli's because let me tell you how there were like 500 cars outside like it was some Hoobastank concert. I'm surprised they weren't charging people to get in at the door. All my sexy girls were there!! They are so freaking hot that we do not need to add any jalapenos to this dish. Seriously I am chilling with the Miss Hawaiian Tropics Finalists. Jenn and I had these Green margaritas which i thought were cool cuz I'm used to the Yellow or Red ones. I'm like why not? I've already drank the Yellow and Red margaritas in the past, haul Green over here next to me and let's see what Green has to offer. So I ate the rest of Megan's burger cuz I can't stop eating.. and then decided that we would all head over to Sherry's to pre-party. I was sad cuz Megan was going to head home and she goes, 'Don't worry, you will see this fine ass tomorrow.' Ha. Aww.. I love my little Megs. So we got our wine, like always, and played drinking games till it was time to head over to Mikeys. And let me tell you, it is so hard to play drinking games with wine. it works though when your at The HoneyComb Hideout. it was so funny how we started busting out a rap song at the table -out of nowhere- and we starting singing, 'Roll roll roll roll-over.. Sit sit sit sit-down.. Shake shake shake shake-my-hand..' omg, it was so freaking hilarious you just had to have been there to understand it. So we went over to Mikey's and they have this wall where they have all the mug shots of all our friends from The Arrest Inquiry!! omg we were laughing so freaking hard. We could not stop laughing. So we all took pictures next to our favorite arrest-tees and i can't remember who me and Sherry picked. I saw one that said, Grand Theft Auto and I go, 'damn.. that is a good one!!' It was off the chain!! so then we all stood outside with KC and Bill and Sherry and Becky kept taking shots of Courvoisier and I could smell the liquor from a mile away. Me and Sherry started kissing each other on the cheek making those funny fart noises and it was so cute!! I was laughing so hard. Sherry was like, 'no blow harder and with your mouth open' so I did and it was a loud one!! She got lipstick all over my face. Dede had cooked dinner and we all so interrupted cuz we just walked in that biatch like, 'Hey!! What's going on Muchachos?' So we left and headed back to Sherry's. It was so much fun. We took tons of pictures so when I get them developed I'll post them on here. Also, Natalie's parents are going out of town really soon!! I can't wait cuz we always take over their house and play so many games like 'hide and go seek' and usually Josh is always It. And then me and Natalie would laugh cuz he never wants to be It. He will cheat and try to make us laugh while he's looking for us and then he catches us that way. He is such a cheater pumpkin eater!! I can't wait to spend the night there!! Awww.. we're going to have so much fun!! It's just like back in the day but only better!! more hiding spaces!! Ha!! C-ya!!
zannette's birthday party
Sat 06/05: i worked all freaking day yesterday!! i mean I lifted. Yes. This isn't a typo either I actually did some work. Ha. just kidding.. but I have been working a lot lately. I really like my new job and I have so much fun there. I can't believe how close I have gotten with some of the customers. I really have so much fun at my job even though it is still work and there is a lot of stocking and putting together that needs to be done. I just think it's cool that I can be creative and help people choose what they should place in their homes. I've helped out so many people!! well after work I went over to Nicole's house for Zannette's Birthday Party. So much ish happened that night. I'm just so glad that my girls came. I love you guys so much!! You have no idea how much it made me realize how great my life is now and that we have no freaking drama and that we always keep it real. Megan and Charlie came and me, Sherry, and Jenn got so drunk!! but all in all we had a great time. Happy Birthday Z!! i'm glad that we had out talk because it made me realize that sometimes you just have to 'Let It Go.' I'm so tired of trying to fix things. i think my life is just going towards a different path and it's not connected to you so i am happy that we just got hang out and settle all of that. my life now consists of a close pack of friends and i just don't trust everyone. i'm sorry but that is just the way it is. and if you don't want to beleive that well I'm not going to live the rest of my life trying to prove that you. I'm just tired of it. i don't like drama or always trying to look back at the past and trying to fix it because i can't. and maybe i don't want to fix it anymore. I like where i'm at now and I don't like to dig up old bones. i am moving forward to so many things and i'm tired of trying to fix what we had. if anything, this is a positive thing and we just need to move forward. You have so many great things ahead of you and i think it's best that you move forward without me. we will always be friends yes, our friendship isn't like a light switch that you can just turn on and off and I hope you see that. we will always remember that we had great times. But let's just leave it at that. Please.. anyway, hope you had a wonderful birthday and Happy 23rd Z!! also thanks for this e-mail you forwarded to me: READ SLOW AND CAREFULLY.....

sherry's birthday party
[ Aaron -Mariners, Sherry -Cheerleader, Arthur -Crazy 88 Ninja from Kill Bill, Josh -Doctor, and Nikki -Killer Nurse at Ray's Halloween Party ]
Sun 06/06: getting ready for Sherry's Birthday Party..
SHERRY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
[ Megan, Sherry, and Erica at Banana Joe's - Sherry, Erica, and Megan - Megan, Sherry, and Erica - my sexy sexy girls from The HoneyComb Hideout: Jenn, Megan, Sherry, and Erica - Megan, Sherry, Erica, and Jenn ]
Okay so it has been a couple of days now so let me refresh my memory and try to re-cap on our Friday night at Banana Joes for Sherry's Birthday Party. So first things first, I was the last person to show up at Sherry's cuz I was running late.. when I got there I gave Sherry her birthday card which was cute because I had attached her picture on the inside. We drank the rest of Jenn's Sangria and then left to Margarita Mama's for dinner. Our waiter was really cool but it was his first day on the job so he kept forgetting to bring out our food. No wait.. he DID forget to bring out our food so he felt so bad, appologized, then said that our meal was on him. So we didn't have to pay for dinner. I wanted to get drunk already so I ordered the same drink that Megan and Erica had gotten. I didn't realize that we were going to take in so much liquor that night at Banana Joes and this story gets real interesting so just wait to what happens next when people stop being polite and start getting real wasted. Real World San Diego's Robin has nothing on Jenn. So we finished dinner and headed over to Banana Joes and got so plastered!! i mean we got so wasted out of our minds. First it was Sherry, and I think that damn Mexican food had a lot to do with it, but we under estimated the words: Ladies Drink Free. We must have had over twenty drinks between all of us. And that isn't even including the shots these guys were buying us. Right as the DJ played 50 Cent's In Da Club, we all went buck wild and started jamming on the islands that were in the middle of the dance floor. I mean we literally tore the dancefloor up. We had so much fun!! and of course, my girls, like always were the finest ones there. All Eyes On Us!! We took a ton of pictures so I'll have them up here asap.. anyway, so Sherry and Aaron went home first because Mexican food + tons of drinks + dancing all night long does not = a happy stomach. So they were the first ones to dip. Second was Nicole cuz she wanted to head over to The Falls and Peabodies so they left and we were going to try to meet up with them. So right before we leave, we have our last few drinks and as we're walking out, Jenn and Erica was talking to the bartender. I'm like, 'K let's go.. I want to head over to The Falls!!' We leave and we see Charlie's friends outside. Now Jenn is usually not a shit talker but a truth talker, but when she consumes way too much alcohol she starts talking a lot of ish. It's actually really hilarious but she was off the chain this night. So she walks over to this car and takes this guys baseball cap and wears it for like ten minutes. Then she leans over and tells the guy, 'Hey stop talking to that bitch right there' (talking about this dudes girlfriend) and she tells him to listen to her. The girl was like, 'Uh uh she just called me a bitch.' Ha. I could NOT stop laughing. Then I told her that Jenn was drunk and we were like, 'Okay it's time to leave.' so then Megan and Charlie leave to go home and we ended up riding with Chris to The Falls. No one was there and the place was so empty so Chris just drove us back to my car. Now I don't know if you guys have seen the Exorcist but I re-lived it in my car. You know.. the scene where Linda Blair pukes all over the room. Yeah.. so we're driving home and I'm like, 'Jenn are you okay?' She looks at me and she goes, 'I really don't feel good.' We're not even like two minutes from her house then all of the sudden she puts her hands over her mouth and i'm like, 'OMG.. no freaking way..' Then she just pukes all over herself.. no wait.. there's more!! the Adventure doesn't end there.. so she leans over to me and throws up on me. All over my new jeans, all over my shirt, all over my seat, her seat, my radio, the middle of my car, her side, the floor, and also on my car door. Am I leaving anything else out? Yeah so she freaking did the Exorcist in my car. I felt so bad for her and really I love Jenn to death. If it was anyone else to do that in my car I would have kicked them out. Seriously, there was throw up everywhere!! I'm like, 'Are you freaking kidding me?' I feel like just giving Jenn the keys to my car and saying, 'Here you go.. just throw it over the Grand Canyon, or just drive it into a lake or something!!' Ha. So I walk her into her apartment and told her to just jump in the shower and take her nasty ass clothes off. So she goes and takes a shower and I tuck her into bed. I'm looking at her and I'm like, 'Jenn, you actually look Really good right now!!' Her hair was soaking wet but she looked so cute. I looked at her and I'm thinking this girl is my best friend. My best friend for like six years straight.. and never once have I seen this girl like this. She kept moaning, 'I am never going to do this again..' and I'm like 'awww.. Jenn, stop talking shit..' Ha!! I feel so bad for her. My Jennsies wensies woo woo woo. Well I think she learned a valuable lesson and the moral to this story is -to look both ways before crossing the road-. i know.. it doesn't make sense because there is no moral to this story. THE END.. ya'll can be tucked into your beds now.. Goodnight!! pictures coming soon.. PS.. 'thanks Jenn for the present.. you are so sweet!!'

Tampa Bay wins Stanley Cup!!
Tues 06/08: so yesterday me and my sister hit up The Chinese Food Store. I love that place. Mainly because they have Pocky Sticks. I can eat about five boxes until i start feeling like i've taken in way too many calories. So anyway, I also got to buy a new shirt from AE and it's this Yellow Polo shirt. No one is wearing Yellow and its not even in season but who cares. I bought it because I liked it and yes, the shirt being on sale had something to do with it. I ate so much yesterday. My sister and I got sushi while we were at the Publix. We got three packages of the combo meals and we ate them all!! Let's see, I also had McDonalds, this soup that had Chinese letterings all over it, some nachos at Muvico, and I think I also ate at my mom's house when I stopped by over there. So I am officially full. We went to go see The Day After Tomorrow and let me just say that it was a great movie. I went to checkout what critics had to say and 46-percent said that it was good but we went and saw it anyway. It had some crazy ass scenes and it made me realize, even though this whole movie was majorly fiction, it made me realize how imporant life was and that I don't need to worry myself about the petty things in life. I really don't. I've been having so much fun lately and I have everything I could ever ask for, so now I need to sit back and take in the entire experience. It really feels so good knowing that you've completed 75-percent of your accomplishments!! Yay for me!! And Yay for school.. like Billy Madison would say. My mom is helping me pay for my classes this summer and I am so thankful for her. She really has helped me out through so much and I love her so much for it. She even paid for my car insurance re-newal and I kept telling her 'no' and that I would pay for it and she told me to save my money for something more valuable to me. I sat there and looked at her and thought, 'who put the acid in her Spam?' My mom has been in such a giving mood lately and would I be pushing it if I asked her for a new car now? jk.. I don't want to push my luck. I'm not making a lot of money at my new job to begin with. I just got this job because everyone else was working and I needed something to do. Plus I can pay for gas and also get clothes for summer because it is as hot as The Sahara Dessert out here in Tampa aka Egypt. You get a tan just walking outside to get mail. You could probably make scrambled eggs in your front yard. So we come home last night and Adam was is in his room and it was so quiet. So me and Consuelo thought to ourselves.. aww.. I guess The Tampa Bay Lightning lost the Stanley Cup and we felt so bad because we knew how much Adam loves that team, so we walk inside he had on this sad face so we were like, 'Are you okay? that suxs that they lost..' Then he goes, 'Sike!!' and turns the channel and we see the results on the television. and it clearly says: Tampa Bay Lightning wins Stanley Cup!! We all started screaming so loud. Adam Punked us!! We really thought they lost because of the way he was acting. So he planned it all out while we were gone. Ha. It was so funny!! So today I have to stop by the bank and send my sister in Las Vegas all this money that I have saved up for college and i can't touch it!! i don't trust myself either because when i DID have access to my account, I would make excuses like, 'Well I need this for school!!' But when the bank statements would come home my mom would be like, 'You took out two hundred dollars for what?' I needed it for Adventure Island!! so my parents took away my Sun Trust priviledges. So now I'm forking it over to my sister in Las Vegas because she is more responsible with my money than I am. So now my sister Lourdes is my personal financial advisor. Ha. Well i've got to get ready with my day because there's still a lot for me to do. I'll catch up with you guys later and take care everyone!! Eric is throwing a Luau next month and I am so excited!! He was also the creator of the bad ass Mexican Fiesta Party that we went to. I told him that I was thinking of throwing an 80's party so we might colaborate on that one. This summer is going to be so much fun!! Where is that sun tan lotion safari guy when you need him? Later!!

Sun 05/30: i'm getting ready right now.. i can't wait!! more updates coming soon..
:: Holly's Memorial Day party :: i got so wasted at Holly's party last night!! Nate and Wes met me up later yesterday to do some pre-partying before everyone would start showing up and drinking all of the liquor. we started putting all our food on the grill at 6pm. we thought we'd start it off early so that once we got the food out of the way, the sooner we could start drinking. See, we think with out heads. Nate brought his friend Chase and Wes is this guy who works with me at my new job. Holly is actually a manager where I work at and her house was filled with Pier One ish. Me and Nate kept pointing out all the stuff that came from our store. I loved our little shiesh ka-bobs. Holly got so creative. She really Memorialized her house. It was so cool because we had tiny little food pieces to put on our shiesh ka-bob sticks to make into bar-b-q sticks. They were so good!! I added i think like pineapples and mushrooms. Wes ate like seven hamburgers last night i was amazed. And we still had room for beer. So we all played a long game of Asshole and I was President twice so I got to make up two rules. We had so much fun omg, i wish I would have remembered half the jokes that we were saying at the table. So my first rule was the thumb rule and whoever puts their thumb on the table last has to drink. I got so many people to drink with that rule. The second rule was 'no pointing' and I got Nate and Holly like seven times because they kept pointing telling people to drink, then I'm like, 'Ha.. no You drink for pointing. We were so wasted out of our minds. We must have had like three cases of beer just getting tossed over to the side because the game kept going on for like three hours. By the third hour, there were so many rules and everyone was drinking left and right. Nate's rule was the 'animal rule'. Everytime you place down a special card, you have to make an animal sound. I couldn't stop laughing when he impersonated a dinosaur and I kept saying, 'That doesn't count as an animal Nate!!' Wes kept cheating cuz he kept his thumb on the table even when I didn't put my thumb down. We made him drink for that too. I loved Holly's decorations and plus she had the best Memorial Day food ever!! We must have had like three different salads and so many dips, and hamburgers, and steaks. Bring on the calories!! i ate so much. i went to the foose ball table and then i went to check my voicemail and it was Natalie!! :: after party with Natalie and Josh at St Pete Beach :: so Natalie pages me and tells me that Damaye got a room right by the beach!! what a great way to celebrate to get even more wasted at the after-party at St Pete beach!! i rode with Josh and Natalie to go to pick up Damaye and Mariel. when i first got to Natalie's house i saw that Josh had brought Ming!! how funny would it be o enter an after-party and have Ming hanging around us!! It took us like an hour and a half to get out there because we kept getting lost. we had to get gas in the projects and it was straight up ghetto. We saw so many people riding on bikes. Then again, with these damn gas prices i would be riding on a bike too!! so Natalie bought us these tiny shots at the liqour store and we got torn the f-up. i mean we got wasted!! i was already pre-drunk from Holly's party and now I had some 99 Berries and by that time, everything was hilarious to me. You could say the word 'nickel' and i'd would have probably laughed at that for like ten minutes. We had the best time ever!! It was so freaking beautiful out there on the beachside. We took some pictures and just chilled while the waves came in. i wanted to just sit out there all night long. We also had Ming with us!! which is Josh's dog and he kept running along the beach and coming back with sand around its mouth. Awww.. Ming is the cutest dog ever!! So Ben got a room and there is this private pool outisde. Me and Josh watched Ming swin to help get the sand off his fur. Ben's friends were drinking inside and then Mariel comes out and says, 'Arthur, are you hungry?' Mariel is so cute because she asked me if I was hungry. No one ever needs to ask me that question because the answer is always Yes like Florida No Fault. Don't be scared and confused!! Ha.. ask Gary. So me, Natalie, and Mariel all went to the Waffle House and I had this meal, at least I think it was a meal, and ate most of what was edible. The Waffle House isn't known for their best fresh foods so I took mini bites of whatever i thought was good enough to eat. Even the soda tased funny. Mariel kept making me laugh because our waitress was off the chain. I looked and Natalie and made a face then she started laughing. We all couldn't stop. Finally we left and headed back to the hotel room and by that time we were so freaking tired. I think I got home at 6 in the morning and just passed out on my bed. i didn't even take a shower that's how tired i was and my feet still had sand on them. anyway, it was a great Memorial Day Weekend and tonight is Nate's party.. i can't wait to go out and hang out again. Night folks!! see you next week.. :: REPEAT :: i got so wasted at Holly's party last night!! Nate and Wes met me up later yesterday to do some pre-partying before everyone would start showing up and drinking all of the liquor. we started putting all our food on the grill at 6pm. we thought we'd start it off early so that once we got the food out of the way, the sooner we could start drinking. See, we think with out heads. Nate brought his friend Chase and Wes is this guy who works with me at my new job. Holly is actually a manager where I work at and her house was filled with Pier One ish. Me and Nate kept pointing out all the stuff that came from our store. I loved our little shiesh ka-bobs. Holly got so creative. She really Memorialized her house. It was so cool because we had tiny little food pieces to put on our shiesh ka-bob sticks to make into bar-b-q sticks. They were so good!! I added i think like pineapples and mushrooms. Wes ate like seven hamburgers last night i was amazed. And we still had room for beer. So we all played a long game of Asshole and I was President twice so I got to make up two rules. We had so much fun omg, i wish I would have remembered half the jokes that we were saying at the table.

Jenn, Arthur, Sherry, Erica, and Megan with our Mexican Hats at Eric's Fiesta Party!!
Postcards from the infamous crew.. wish you were here!!
after party with Natalie and Josh: three keggar!! can't wait!! :: at Erica's :: i'm here at Erica's right now and we're about to head over to Jenn's then head over to Sherry's. Tonight is literally going to be off the chain!! Everyone is trying to wear Black, Red, and White colors to show off our Mexican Sprit. We have no idea what Mexican colors are so we just made them up and will wear that tonight. So we're going over to Erica's and he is buying us these Mexican hats. We're going to have so much fun!! anyway, i gotta go.. talk to you guys when I recover from tonight!! Later!! or in Mexican: Adios Amigos!! :: Recovering :: Sun 05/23: i'm actually recovering well. I'm at this beautiful beach resort with Lara out in St Pete and I'm Lovin' It like McDonalds. It is so pretty out here!! i should be able to relax and catch some sun. But I am feeling well and not too hungover. I don't know how since i had a lot to drink but I stopped my tequilla and margarita intake around 12pm. i thought i would start off early since i had to work the next day. OMG, last night was so much fun!! Mexican hats and everything!! How exciting was Eric's Fiesta Party!! Me and my best friend Jenn hung out all afternoon at.. please excuse me if I don't make sense in some of these sentences because we're watching the Real World and i'm trying to re-cap at the same time so bare with me folks.. k, so we went to Firehouse Grill and we love their sandwiches. People kept looking over at our table. OMG, Jenn looked so fine cuz she just got her hair did and she looks like Jessica Simpson. We went over to Erica's and then drove to Sherry's. Sherry already had some wine waiting for us so we tore that ish up. There wasn't much left.. who am I kidding? We drank it all. Ha. We all drive to St Pete in Randy's phat ass Explorer, leather interior and everything!! We were riding up to St Pete with style. Me and Sherry kept laughing cuz her seat reclines and mine didn't!! So did Jenn's. Whatever, I got the best seat in the car. We were jamming to Slow Motion For Me and also Pitbull's Culo and was getting so hyped up for a night of Taco's and Tequila. and when we finally got there we saw the Mexican Flags on Eric's front door and I think we made it to the right house. And if not then, why are their Mexican Flags up on someones doors? I mean, Mexicans don't buy Spencers Gift Mexican flags and hang em up on their front doors. So we walk inside and Eric is like, 'Arthur!!' Ha. Everyone walked in and I saw all the liquor on the table. Sherry and I look at each other and we were like, 'That is all us!!' So we went to use the bathroom because when we were in the Explorer, there are no bathroom breaks. We were all in the bathroom laughing and Jenn goes, 'I don't care, I'm not sitting on nobodies toilet unless it is at my own house.' And I'm like, 'You don't sit on the toilet seat when your at our houses!!' Biatch. Ha. We could not stop laughing. I told Jenn, 'Eww.. let's stop talking about toilet seats!!' Eric's friend was on the grill cooking up some bad ass grilled chicken and I can smell the fresh cut tomatos and onions and lettuce. I was so freaking hungry. One thing the party didn't have was potato chips. How is this a fiesta party and there are no potato chips. Then Sherry brought to my attention that there was tons of drinks we could make instead of eating chips so I shut my mouth and had Erica make me a Margarita drink. When I took the first sip I go, 'Erica!! There is so much Tequila in this!!' Then she goes, 'Oh!! here let me add more Margarita Mix..' Then I go, 'No no, it's fine!! I like it!!' ha. I think I may have even poured more liquor into it. We were all having a great time. Then our song came on and it was Jay-Z's Encore and me and Sherry started breaking it down, breaking it down. Then Erica comes up from behind me and we start dancing but I'm getting pushed towards Sherry's boobs. I'm like, 'Erica your shoving me onto Sherrys boobs!!' Thanks. Ha. Jenn was off the chain too because she didn't wear a bra with her new shirt and you can kinda see her boobies too. So it was one big Boobie Fest at Eric's party. It was so much fun!! Eric threw the best 'Fiesta Fiesta' ever!! Then Becky pulled up with Hendrick and Kevin and then Charlie goes, 'Is Becky driving? ..uh oh.. that means trouble!!' ha!! and then not even a second after Charlie had said that, Becky bumps her bumber into Eric's car. We were like, 'ohhhhh!!' My hands covered my mouth and I was like, 'damn, she so hit his car!!' Becky walks out and she was like, 'oh did I bumb his car?' Ha. Did she? So then Eric was like, 'No it's cool.. it's cool!!' It's all good. Eric is just too cool!! What a great guy. He even made us 'special' cookies, which I didn't eat because I don't eat those cookies, but everyone else seemed to enjoy them. Ha. I will leave the 'special' cookies alone now. We busted out so many Billy Madison jokes that I literally had to hold my stomach because we could not stop laughing!! 'Your not cool until you pee your pants!!' OMG!! ha!! We love Billy Madison!!So we go back inside and eat the rest of the taco's and burritos. It was so delicious!! I was so happy after I ate. We took so many pictures with our Mexican hats and we all looked so fine!! I can't wait to see the pictures when they come out!! I bet they will be off the chiz-zain!! So we go back to Sherry's for the after after party. And I was so freaking tired. That's what happens when you only get five hours of sleep the night before. So Natalie came to pick me up and Josh passed out on the bed. The night was over and it was time for bed. I crashed and thought to myself, 'I love Mexicans!!'
-> fiesta fiesta!! <-
go bulls!!
Thur 05/20: I had to wake up mad early today to head over to my mom's house and cut her grass. I love my mom so much!! I came over and I was like, 'I'm here to cut the grass.' Then she was like, 'aww.. that is really nice of you.' I guess she forgot that I told her that I would come do it. She always asks me what i want for lunch and I miss that so much from when I used to live there. I was so sleepy!! okay so i went to register for my Fall classes at USF and there is a million things I gotta do before I can even start. They want me to take this EDT test and then register for my scholarship and Pel Grant. It looked like I had to pee in my pants because I was so ancy. I wanted to find out now if I can start in the Fall, which i can but the dean was taking forever. People on campus was so nice to me. Everyone was giving me directions and one girl even told me how cute I was. I was like, 'Thanks!!' I should have given her a hug but she was a complete stranger. So anyway, I have all my paperwork and now I just have to start filling them out. I hate paperwork but when it's all said and done, I will be ready to party at Eric's Fiesta Party this Saturday!! i can't freaking wait!! Life doesn't get any better than this!! Holla at your boy!! Later!! Fri 05/21: i'm actually getting ready for work. No matter how many times I say this, it still sounds weird to me. I am getting ready for work.. see, it still doesn't sound right. well it's so damn early in the morning. i'm wiping the crust out of my eyes and yawning left and right. i have an hour to get ready and since i won't be online much this weekend i thought i'd leave a post. Anyway, i really should get going. i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and Eric, you better be ready for us this Saturday. Fiesta here we come!! ps.. i miss my babe already. i'm cheesier than Craft's Mac n Cheese. but i love it!! Later!! -> Tias Tex Mex <- 10pm: i'm still debating whether or not if I should go out to Tias tonight. Nate should be here any minute now and i can't believe he flew in just to see me. I had such a long day too and right now all I need to do is change my shirt and I'm ready to go. I went over to Sherry's after work today and we hung out all afternoon around her house. She had a huge hangover from Dallas Bull and we were both laying on her bed looking at old high school pictures and we started laughing so hard. I brought over some movies so that we could just chill there and watch them. I might either spend the night there tomorrow night or at Natalie's. Natalie said that if it got too late that i could just crash there. After i left Sherry's house I got my fade at Fade Master's and I ended up waiting for like four hours!! The place was so packed and had only one barber. It was just like Barber Shop!! We watched three movies before it was my turn to get faded. The first one was Dave Chapelle and it was so hilarious!! They were showing The Real World but instead of six white strangers and one black guy, they had six black guys and one white guy!! i could not stop laughing!! omg!! Then we saw You Got Served on DVD and my friend Ivan was in that movie. It was cool because you can actually see his face in most of the scenes. Then lastly we saw Drunken Master and that movie is off the freaking chain!! i love those old school karate movies!! They really kick some ass. So I spoke to my best friend Natalie not too long ago and she wants me to go really bad. I'm going to try my hardest to make it out to Tias tonight!! It's really up to Nate cuz he is driving. So anyway, Natalie was telling me about this after party tomorrow night that her and Josh are going to and the kid throwing it is going to have three kegs!! I'm so there!! So when me, Sherry, Jenn, Megan, Erica, and Becky are done getting plastered with Eric, we're going to head off this after party!! i can't wait!! She was also telling me how her parents are going away from two weeks so she said that i can stay the night every night and me, her, and Josh can play games like we used to last year. We had so much fun because Josh would cook us dinner and then we'd play hide and go seek. We were also talking about the keys and if we don't stay at her friend's house then we're all just going to rent out huts along the beach. How pretty does that all sound? So many exciting things are on their way.. dammit.. Nate is here!! i gotta go!! Hope you guys have a safe and fun weekend!! i know i will!! You know how we do at The HoneyComb Hideout. Holla at your boy!!
[ Tues 05/18: my best friend Nydia is on Seventeen.com Check her out!! <- she is the beautiful girl on the bottom!! my best friend Nydia in Seventeen Magazine.. Bring On The Sun!!
lights, camera, action!!
Tues 05/18: My friend Lauren and I went to these auditions for a commercial today in Orlando. We had so much fun!! I got up early and we made plans to meet up and go together. So I went home to get my workout clothes and swimming trunks because that is what the casting director wanted us to bring on the set. So we drive to Orlando and this freaking guy on the road does not know how to drive and tries to like merge into our lane. Was the DMV instructor drunk the day she gave that guy his permit? Yeah, I know this is a Florida No Fault state but we didn't say Yes and said No. So we were fine and got back to being hyped up about this audition. It has been forever since I've been to an audition. I forgot about the adrenaline and the excitement that comes with it. We were jamming to Lauren's mixed CD and calling up this other studio which Lauren had done acting with before and we were going to pick up her tape. But that came later so let me tell you guys about our audition. So we went to this building right next to Universal Studios and we walked inside all professional-like and this really pretty lady came out and told us to wait in the lobby. so we did. We kept laughing at each other cuz we were like, 'What if we're on Scare Tactics?' Ha. We always have so much fun together. So then the lady comes back and tells us, 'Follow me.' We walk through the studio and head over to this little room. I think it was a recording studio. It had a bunch of large gadgets in it that it made you not want to bump into it cuz it looked like it cost a lot of money. So the lady tells us about the product and told us to pretty much talk about the product as if we've used it before. It was this state of the art blender that you make mix margaritas with. So Lauren went first and she did a phenomenal job!! I was so proud of her. I'm like, 'great, thanks for raising the bar!!' Ha. So then it was my turn and I was so nervous. I'm like, 'What is the product name again?' I was starting to get really nervous and this huge spotlight was on my face. And then the lady tells me to back up more so that she can fit me on the camera and there was no more room for me to back up on. How nerve wrecking this process is. So before I can even re-think what I was about to say she tells me, 'Action.' I see the little red dot on the camcorder so I know that I am being taped and there is no turning back. So I just talked about the product and how it would better my life and I brought the whole ethnicity into the table and talked about how healthy shakes could change my diet and so it was over like that. Whew!! I did ok I thought but Lauren did amazing. We had so much fun and we're crossing our fingers that we can go home with a blender of our own. So after auditions we went to the acting studio where the directors hang out at and it is not easy to get in. I mean they make you wait and keep your ID's and hand you stickers that say VISITOR on them. I felt like I was in the X-Files and we were about to do an investigation. When we got in I felt all important with our new sticky badges. So we walk in and speak to the producer lady and she was so sweet. She is a client herself and she is just the cutest. We left and were like, 'Awww.. I like her.' She gave us her card and so now whenever me and Lauren take more acting classes we can call her and add our things to our files. We had so much fun today!! I had to make it home on time though for The American Idol. I love Fantasia so much and I think she will win the entire competition. I love that girl and I will vote for her over and over again. She puts tears in my eyes everytime she sings, that is how amazing this girl is!! Tomorrow I am going to USF to fill out all this paperwork. I hate paperwork with a passion but I need to do this before deadlines. Me and Lauren might take the some classes together in the fall. It's cool how she is into a similar field as me. It's going to be so much fun with Lauren. I also hope I get this job with her which i can earn up to a grand per paycheck!! I guess I have to tell my other job that I can only work once a week. It's cool how I am paying for my summer classes on my own. It feels wierd, but I feel like I am growing up and pretty soon I will have to learn how to tie my own tie. I still have no idea how that thing works. I get stuck using a clip on. Later!!

Eric's Fiesta Party this Saturday!!
Wed 05/19: i cannot wait for this weekend!! so i have a month till my Summer Classes begin. Each class is five hours long. what a bookworm I will be this summer. i didn't realize what i nerd i was until I saw my transcripts today and saw all of the classes I took since Freshman year. I have one more Math class and my Meteorology class so by the time August hits, I will be able to tell you guys the weather forecast!! ha! also this Saturday is Eric's Fiesta Party and i can't wait to go!! I'm going to look into my closet for something festive to wear but I don't have anything really mexican. I did just buy this red shirt at International this past week so I might just wear that. If not i have to go back and get another one. where can I find Mexican hats? When i saw Gabe and Virginia a few days before my birthday party they were looking for Mexican hats too. i told them to check Spencers or like Party City but they said that they didn't have any nice ones. I may have to go to Wooden Nickel to find a nice one. I am so excited to meet Jenn's buddy and I am also lookinf forward to trying out new dishes. I hope there is Mexican food there and the only Mexican thing I ever eat is Taco Bell. And that doesn't really count. So tonight we watched the American Idol. I knew that Jasmine Trias was going to go home but I do love the girl. She is so pretty and she has the best skin. Filipino people and cultures is so awesome!! I love the food too!! I think our race is so funny and talented that we should have our own Star Search. Except it would probably be low budget and not enough publicity. People walking around with sandals and with their Filipino accents. Okay, i take that back now. Anyway, Jasmine went home tonight, but it's all good. She is so pretty and talented that she will get a record deal in the end anyway. But I'm rooting for Fantasia!! Now that is my dawg!! i really think she is our next American Idol!! I can't wait for her to put out her new CD and I'm going to blare that ish all over town. I'll be jamming, eating some McDonalds french fries, looking out at people saying, 'and what!!?' ha.. just kidding. (not about the french fries though). Anyway, i have been talking to this really cool person lately who puts a huge smile on my face. I can't stop smiling. Really. I think I'm being so fifth grade about how i am feeling but i can't help it. I get nervous just thinking about it. Palms sweating.. check. Heart pulsing.. check.. I need something to drink.. k i'm back. I think this year is going to be a great year no doubt about it. I know that I'm going to be having so much fun in the Fall and there are so many great things to come in my life that are new and exciting. I feel like my life is like an adventure book. With each page I turn, something new is on it's way. Something fresh and exciting. I love my life. And now I am hoping that everything else falls into it's place. wink wink. I really hope so!! Everyone cross their fingers and toes and wish me luck!! Love ya'll!! and shout outs to all my Flips out there!! Holla at your boy!! Later!!
zone gourmet <- the next best thing next to Lunchables!!
Sun 05/16: this weekend was so heptic!! i had so much fun at all of the birthday parties!! Go Taurus's!! You know we do!! Happy Birthday to Me, Tammy (re-cap in the entry before this one), Orlando, Gigi, Giga, Elly's friend Ingrid, and my buddy Matt. it felt so good to just kick back and relax all day long!! today we had a birthday bar-b-q and spent time with my buddies and i took my comforter and fell asleep in front of the TV. It was raining outside too so the setting was just picture perfect!! Life is so great!! I came home, i ate so much food, had mad potato chips, and drank so much beer.. it was crazy. It was so good too!! i had a salad, some fried chicken with this new recipe that my sister used, some fresh veggies, water, and some rice. i was trying to eat and talk to Nate at the same time. i had to keep putting him on hold everytime i went to take a sip of water it was so funny. we talked about our New York trip and he understood that it would be hard for me to go and he felt bad that he made plans and didn't really fill me in on them. but we talked it out so it's all good in the hood now. And also I keep forgetting that he does look at my site and he didn't realize that i got a job for the summer. actually no one believe's that i got a job. When i tell them , they are like, 'wait a minute.. did you just say that you got a job?' and I'm like, '..umm yeah..' my best friend Josh always makes fun of me and says, 'it's about freaking time!!' Ha. whatever.. i can work and earn checks and not have to always tap into my Sun Trust account. i told Nate that he would have a blast in New York City and that we would do something fun when he got back. I need to wash my clothes now because I am sticky of Bud Lite overdose. Virginia spilled so much beer on me and Matt and when she got up on the tables to dance we knew that she was going to fall. Michelle and Chelsea told me to watch out but i didn't listen since I too was drunk off the pepsi. It was so funny!! but then when i got beer all over me i was like, 'Virginia, more beer got on me than in your mouth!!' Ha. Everyone was so drunk!! She was like, 'I will make it up to you on our camping trip..' Matt's friends are going camping in two weeks and they all want me to go. It's going to be an Abercrombie and Fitch hike since most of them work there. Geeze!! Hook me up with discounts!! i'm going this weekend and i want to buy more polo shirts!! and i won't forget to tally up the votes either!! There is so much to do this summer!! And as for trips and vacape's, my best friend Jenn wants me to go with her to DC this summer to checkout the rest of Georgetown and LaPlata. i really want to go and if my boss will give me a weekend off then i will go. Then Josh and Natalie want me to go to Key West with them in August and i can't wait to freaking go!! we are trying to get our friend John to go with us. I love The Keys and Josh is going to teach me how to catch lobster. It's cool cuz we all get to take classes together to get our fishing license. I heard it's only like fourteen dollars. Natalie told me that Josh picks up lobsters like it's nothing and so I told her that we'd let Josh do all the cathing while we go snorkling. I can't wait!! I heart lobster too!! I am such a dinosaur!! my buddy Nicole told me that meat is good for you so i added that to my diet. I eat meat all the time but now I'm making sure that it's not always fried. I am such a soul food person too. Give me some Popeyes chicken and I'm good to go!! I am watching what i eat since I'm starting to use my sisters gym again so I am mainly watching my cardio. I am hapy with the way i look even though Manuel keeps telling me to pump some iron, but I don't like the fact that to stay big, you must keep working out. Jenn saw Manuel at Tias this past Friday and she told me that he lost some muscle weight. My sister told me that if you want to work out and get big you must go to the gym non-stop or else all that muscle will go away. That is just too much work for me. So I'm going to stay lean, fit, and do some cardio exercises. Plus I like how I fit into my jeans. I better invest on Kanye's Workout Tape and whenever me, Jenn, and Megan listen to that song in the car, we always bust a move!! ha!! so we rented a ton of DVD's and watched the rest of In Living Color. That show is so freaking hilarious!! and then to tie in the topic of my entry, my sister and i was watching E! Celebrity Diets tonight and after they showed their celebrity diet special and they had hundreds of famous celebrities eating gourmet foods and not having to lift a finger. It's like having your own personal chef right in your very own home. Well i was really amazed on how healthy these celebrities were eating and with the right exercise, they toned up within three months. we both looked at each other and said, 'where do we sign up?' so i found out that this meal is only $36.95 per day, which really, i typically spend about fifty to sixty dollars a day on food alone. That sounds crazy but think about it. When i go to the grocery store each week, if I really broke it down- broke it down DC go-go music style, i end up spending more money each week versus this new Zone Program. so i am going to try out this new chef take-out thing and start seeing what Reese and Ryan have been chomping down on all these years. Look how this adds up: i have a breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day and also a snack which all adds up to maybe forty dollars at the least. That's less money that i would spend on buying and preparing my own food. That doesn't count fast foods or restaurants either which i always spend up to twenty dollars. This is what i got from their site: The Zone Gourmet Weekly delivery program is a 28 day purchase plan. The cost is $36.95 per day, plus shipping and handling. The food is prepared by professional chefs, and is delivered on a weekly basis for four weeks, and the price includes consultation with a Zone Gourmet Coach. Seven days of food (three gourmet meals and two snacks per day) are delivered to you every week for four weeks. The food is packaged -- preservative free and never frozen, using a cutting-edge USDA-approved technology that keeps the food completely fresh, while significantly extending its shelf life. So reallt it's like my dream come true. When I saw thier menu i was like, 'damn.. do i choose from ?Verdure Sea Scallops Poached in Champagne with Julienne Vegetables ?or do i get the ?Beef Wellington w/ Three-Mushroom Demi-Glaze & Sauteed Greens Provencale ?for my Mondays? i am just too excited!! here is their menu: Breakfast Dishes: Scrambled Egg Whites w/Fruited Oatmeal & Nuts ?Turkey Omelet & Melon ?Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin ?Praline

here are a few party pics from my new digital camera!!
7am is just too early!!
Thur 05/13: it's actually been a while since I last left an 'entry-entry' on my website. I feel like these past few weeks have been so crazy for me that I haven't had time to just 'vent' on my site like I used to back in my old school Xanga days. :: flashback :: I used to have it all planned out like a leather daily planner notebook where everything was in tact, and these days it's been nothing but scatter. Well I'm looking around and I'm going to pick up the scraps off of the floor and start putting things back to where they belong. it's so weird how I've been partying so much that I am forgetting to log on here and talk about my life in general. So much goes on and so much isn't said. So anyway, here is a re-cap on these past few days. Grab a cup of Starbucks cuz this might take a while. So I started my new job this week and today was my second day of work. I was really excited to go in and learn about these products and also to meet some new people. I didn't like the waking up 7am in morning though. I feel like Vampire Lestat waking up in the morning seeing the sun shine through my window and then I hide underneath my covers. And I would stay underneath but then I realize that the alarm clock isn't going to shut off on its own. Dammit. So I wake up and I'm like, 'oh yeah, I am working now..' that's right. I stumble downstairs to make some breakfast, then get ready for work. I got so lazy about ironing my clothes so now I just throw them bitches into the dryer. It also works. So then I drive to work and of course there has to be traffic and I'm looking at the red light and I'm like, 'You better turn green!!' so I look at my watch again and I realize that I'm running two minutes late. Now you know in those cartoons where you see them have a cloud over their head and you hear a voice-over saying, 'Don't be late for work?' but then you are late anyway? Well that happened to me and I tried to act all slick when I walked up to the front door. My manager didn't say anything so I wasn't about to bring up anything either. I worked for a lowsey two hours and that can buy me what? A cheese burger meal at McDonalds? Yeah.. I got sent home early because they were cutting back on hours. Great. I woke up at seven for what? Well I'm just looking forward for the rest of this month. There are several birthday parties I am going to attend and that should keep me busy. I told my best friend Jenn today that I was never going to drink again and she told me that I was a liar. She was right. I'm like, 'am I an alcoholic?' Alcohol really dehydrates your body because after my birthday party, I was so thirsty like I have been crossing the Sahara Dessert. I'm going to swing by this vintage shop tomorrow to buy my coat (like the one that Ashton Kutcher wears) and no I'm not trying to bite Ashton it's just that I don't know anyone else that wears these coats, but I'm going to buy it before we head off to Tammy's Birthday Party. I can't wait to have a few drinks.. a few meaning more than two and less than four. I'm not driving anyway so drink away right? I also have to swing by USF this week to sign a bunch of paperwork and I'm dreading that day. I might as well wait in the DMV line on a Friday afternoon. At least then I can eat a Snickers bar and say, 'Not going anywhere?' I am also glad that I won't be working so much because Nate called me about our trip to The Big Apple. I feel so bad because I never call him anymore. Does that make me a bad person? I don't like the fact that I keep telling him that it's a go for this trip because really I don't even know if I can go. I just feel like if I went, I would be using him only for the trip and I am not that type of person. I wish he would stop reminding me that his parents keep inviting me to all their plans because they don't even know that we don't even really hang out anymore. They should have gotten the jist when I didn't show up to their St Patricks Day party. Okay I feel really bad now. I feel like I don't deserve New York City or any summer vacation for that matter. I have that knot in my stomach meaning that I need to stick to Plan B and just tell Nate straight up that I can't go. This is driving me crazy. I went to the mall the other day with my sister and I got this shirt from AE and it's bad ass. I tried looking for it on their website but I couldn't find a picture of it. So I'm going to wear it out tomorrow night and guess I'll take pictures of it then. It's pretty pimp. Aww.. I love my friend Jenn. She was trying to update her website today and she erased her whole layout. I wanted to laugh with her but then I realized that she wasn't laughing so I put on my sad face. She is so cute. She was like, 'Arthur I am never going to touch my website again!!' that just reminded me of a scene in Billy Madison. Ha. Then I also spoke to Lara and she wants my car for a day because she is going to install something (which I really have no clue what it is) but it's for my birthday. Last year she tinted my windows and Ilove her for it. I ride out all the time and now my car doesn't heat up like a rice cooker and I don't have to put that stupid silver thing that covers your windshield. That get's annoying after a while. So I joined the 21st Century and got mirror tint on my car. I'm evolving. Well folks, everyone is having fun outside and I'm missing out on all of the action. I miss all of my friends.. and I miss my buddies from Xangerrr.. I hope everyone has a safe week and when things start to slow down again I'll get back on here!! OMG and before I forget my cute cute neice has a website now!! I helped her create this new site for her and Maya and it is just the cutest!! check it out!! :: jenesi and maya :: <- it is so freaking tight that it's better than my site. My eight year old niece's site is better than mine. I love them so much!! anyway, Holla at your boy!! and I don't have any shout-outs at the moment.. Later!! :: Tammy's Birthday Party in Downtown Tampa :: 12:11am - Hey kiddies!! I'm not going to make this a long one because I'm actually about to head off to bed. I just got back from Tammy's Birthday Party at Hattricks and it was so much fun to see everyone!! Tammy, Vince, Leo, Denise, my sisters Elly and Consuelo, Adam, DJ, Susan, Ray, O-town, Joey, Billy, Billy's girl, and the rest of the clique. There is literally so many to name and I'm so tired to think. My membrane is putting on his pajamas and it's so hard for me to think right now. I do know though that Orlando is throwing a birthday beach party out in St Pete. Matt's birthday party is this weekend too and I still haven't picked out what shirt I'm going to wear!! but I wish I had enough energy to do a re-cap but I've been on the phone for an hour so I'm all talked out. But I hope to revive and write again tomorrow!! I also hope that my friends are having fun at Tia's / Redzone / Banana Joes tonight!! I wish I could have partied with you guys but I'm all partied out!! I miss everyone!! I love you guys and you mean the world to me. And I'm not drunk so ya'll can stop laughing and pointing fingers at me. I just miss my peeps. Later and goodnight!! I'm off to bed. And ps.. this is to Jenn, I feel like doing what Manuel said when we dropped him off at his house the last time we were at Plant City. Ha!! I have to try that one!! I'm so bad!! alright alright.. night!! and ps for the love of Human Kind, before I forget because I be forgetting, tomorrow is Gigi and Giga's Birthday so Happy Birthday to them. And tonight is also Ingrid's Birthday at Kahunahville, and Orlando's birthday is tomorrow. Okay, how many birthday are we going to have this month? I mean for real?? it's off the chain birthday month for everyone!! Let's not all run to Publix at once to buy birthday cakes!! geeze!! Night.. and I am for real this time!! Don't let me get the NyQuil!! Night. :: Troy :: Sat 05/15: we all went to go see the movie Troy tonight and it was so freaking bad ass although we also had a few laughs because some of the scenes was kind of corny. But I guess all is fair in love and war and when it comes to Greek history and mythology, there is a lot more drama that you get to see even with the combination of Days Of Our Lives and Passions put together. I'm surprised that we weren't throwing popcorn back at each other because we couldn't be loud to get each others attention. So anyway, i literally have a week off!! No school and no work.. just some time with me, myself, and I. All the fellas if you hear me help me sing it out. my boss gave me a week off of work to gather up all the things that i need for my summer classes. isn't she the bomb? Yeah. i got lucky to have such a great manager. So with my free time I went tanning with my sister Elly today at her pool and I got some sun. I forgot how easily I tan and when I pulled down the top of my swimming trunks I realized that I got really tan. My butt is so white right now. I need this week so bad to recover from an entire month of partying and it isn't going to end here either. Bears get their hybernation, I think it's only fair that i get mine. :: edit :: - - i just wrote so much right there and i took it out because i completely forgot how PG-13 this site was. geeze!! i'm glad i took it out and my best friends can go to my un-edited site and read my last entry there. - - continued.. Who knows. I'm tired. i'm blabbing. I need to go to sleep. But I hope that everyone has a great weekend and get some sun!! it's finally here!! Night ya'll.

Megan looked so damn fine and then I knew that God actually made perfect little women. And she looked hotter than Malibu Barbie . my girls are seriously so damn fine!! I must be the luckiest guy in the world!! Erica and Megan had on these mini dresses and I'm telling you all.. it was Kodak Moments from the moment I walked into Erica's house. -> just wait till i get my film developed <- So we were all signing this huge card that I made for Sherry and in the front of it had a collage of all the pictures we have taken throughout the years, and we have been through so much together so the whole front page was filled up. We had different sections where we all signed and I even saved a spot on the there for Aaron. Sherry had told me that her parents were going to look for me at USF but when we got there, the place was so packed so it was impossible to find anyone. The steps to get up to Section I was so scary because it feels like the stadium was leaning towards the side and that everyone will fall to the ground and it was the same when I was there for Jenn's graduation. I'm like, 'They need to fix these steps for real..' but then again I am also afraid of heights. It's more of a phobia actually. We sat in the back section and we waited for Sherry's name to be called out. Me and Jenn were dying laughing because they would start to say the name Sherry but then they would have a different last name and then they would say Sher- and then end it with a -ren.. and me and Megan would say, 'No!!!!' it was like being on a freaking rollercoaster. My heart would literally pause because I thought that it would be her name but in reality it was someone else's. We were laughing so hard. Especially when Jenn pointed out the Saddam Hussein look alike above us. And some of these names of these graduates were off the heezey. I think one girls name was Supakintomalalalahindushu Kapistanialinardoishi.. and I was like, 'What in the hell were those parents thinking?' So finally the time came where they called out Sherry Michelle Henson and we all started screaming: 'Sherry!!' Serena had brought flowers for her but it was going to take forever for them to end the ceremony so we went to the liquor store to get some alcohol and then head off to Bill Utah's to pre-party . They kept asking us to go with them to the casino. I guess it is the new it thing? So let me rewind a bit back to my ABC Liqour story. This is actually funny. So me and Erica walk into ABC Liqour to get some Merlot, white wine, and I wanted some pineapple juice for my Parrott Bay. Well as we were leaving this guy bags our stuff and we walk back to Megan's car. Simple right? Well when we got to Bill's I realized that we had like three bags full of liqour. As we're emptying the bags, I'm like, 'ummm.. did you guys buy Parrott Bay?' and Megan and Erica look at me and were like, 'ummm, no.' I looked at the bag again and I go, 'You swear!!' and they both shook their heads yes. Then I'm like, 'Well I didn't buy this Twister and Parrott Bay ' and neither did them so we got free liqour!! Ha. I almost passed out because they were all like, 'Arthur!! You walked out with someone elses liqour!!' Then Bill was like, 'Ha, you stole that bottle!!' and so I'm like, 'Well I'm keeping this ish!!' Let's drink!! So I got free liqour and the world is perfect once again. Then Sherry left me a message on my voicemail telling us to head back to her parents so we met them there. Me and Erica rode in Megan's dad's truck with leather Harley Davidson interior. So pimp!! And we were jammin out to Freeway and our Juvenile's Slow Motion. We are so white-ghetto it's so cute. So we get to Sherry's and I'm like, 'Aaron I need you to come outside and sign this card.' So we all snuck outside to start writing and then Sherry walks out and goes, 'Are you guys coming inside?' and sees us with the card!! and I'm like, 'No Sherry go back inside!!' Ha ha. So when we gave it to her for the second time, and she acted like she was surprised although she had already seen it. Dammit. Ha. Everyone looked so fine!! We took pictures by the fireplace and all congratulated her. Aaron bought her all these flowers and a bottle of Moet. I kept telling Sherry, 'You are the hottest and smartest graduate ever!!' and she really was. We are so proud of her. Everyone that wrote on her card pretty much said, 'Sherry you are so beautiful and so smart, and you still maintain to party like a rockstar!!' How does she do it? She is something so amazing!! I love that girl to death!! Her parents were so proud of her and they kept saying, 'Arthur, we are so glad that you guys have been best friends through all these years.' and everyone loved the card that I made for her. It was huge!! But we all wrote in it so it was a group effort showing her how much we care about her and how proud we all were of her accomplishments. After we took pictures, we all went up to Club Bennigans to do some more drinking and eating. OMG.. i was starving. I have been drinking all day and I needed nachos or something in my stomach so Jenn and Megan ordered The Sampler. We tore that ish up. Brian and Neil sat with us while we munched away. We don't play when are on Hungry Somalian mode. Zack told Sherry that he would get Wes's keg from his brother and that we would have an After-Party (the same kind that R Kelley throws) at Sherry's. So keg party it is at The HoneyComb Hideout. It was so awesome chilling with Justin Long and Greg Wilson. Justin always brings up, 'Do you remember when we were in Boy Scouts?' Ha. omg.. I completely forgot about that, but he always reminds me. That was like 10 years ago and I used to wear No Fear shirts and Target brand pants. Yes I remember those long hikes up the trail and I wanted to sit down and eat a Snack Pack and I remember when we were taught to make fire with two sticks and I carried a lighter in my back pocket. Yes I was a cheater!! I knew that two sticks would never form a fire especially when I was thinking about when dinner time was when our Scout Leader would teach us how to make fire. I do remember those days!! It was the No Work and All Play days.. oh no wait.. I still live that life. Ha. But we all had so much fun. Zack kept loosing at Crazy Eights and we would have bust a rhyme and he would make up a word and I'd be like, 'Zack!! That's not even a real word!!' Drink!! Ha. Then Jenn kept loosing too and the more I laughed at her for loosing, the more she would make me drink whenever she had to give out drinks. Dammit. I got her good though when I alerted all these people on her Nextel. She was like, 'who alerted all these people?' Ha. I went to look for chips but all I found was more beer. (well i'm about to take a break real quick.. i'm starving!! see what happens when I talk about food on my site?) oink oink.. be right back.. Okay, so where did I leave off? Oh yeah that's right.. so we were playing drinking games. I love drinking games!! They are so much fun because everyone gets wasted!! When it came down for categories, Zack says 'okay, country bars.' grreeeaaaattt!! Me and Jenn looked at each other and just shook our heads. I was going to be going down for this one. I tried to be slick and said some random name but they caught me so I drank. Then Serena's boyfriend kept using the thumb rule and I would try to get Sherry's attention and go, 'Sherry, put your thumb on the table..' But then it would be too late and she would have to drink. I think she purposely didn't want to put her thumb on the table. Ha. She was wasted!! And I am so glad that Sherry had the best graduation party ever!! All of her close friends were there and by the time I got to lay in my own bed it was 5am and then I thought, should I stay up another hour? Nah.. then it was off to counting sheep. Congratulations Sherry!! We love you!! and as for my party this Thursday.. It's only like four days away!! I have to go to International this week with Elly and pick out my birthday shirt. I can't wait!! The more I think about my party the more dots I see and I feel lightheaded and want to pass out on the floor. It is going to be the most exciting event this year for me. I hope you guys are excited as I am but I know that this year's birthday party is going to be off the heezey foe sheezy.. you better believe me!! Later!!

cinco de mayo
[ Virginia, Mariale, Arthur, Natalie, and Josh - me and my best friends Virginia, Mariel, Natalie, and Josh ]
Wed 05/05: last night was so freaking crazy.. let me just tell you. So me and my girls all went up to Tias as planned and the freaking place was so packed!! I didn't even know that there was that many college students in Tampa. The line to get in went from the entrance all the way out to the street.. that's how crazy it was. All I could think was 'fire hazzard' but who really cares cuz it's Cinco De Mayo and everyone just wants to get plastered out of their minds!! Megan drove up and we saw that Sherry and Erica found a spot up front but still, they weren't going anywhere so we went to Club Bennigans instead. I'm so glad that we did!! omg, drinks there was off the heezey. We all kept ordering Margaritas and we got f-ed up!! and so the more we ordered, the more free shirts we got so we bought enough drinks to get everyone in our group shirts!! Then Erica bought the first round of drinks. Aaron later on bought us a round of Tequila shots!! Yeah.. we were wasted!! I actually have a lot to talk about but I have to go pick up my pictures!! so be right back!! I am so excited!!!!!!! This is the best week ever!! Later!! ps.. it's my freaking birthday today!!! Okay, I'm back.. so I have time now to re-cap on Cinco De Mayo. So where did I leave off? Oh thats right, so we sat up by the bar and we're ordering so many drinks. We found a table close to us so we sat there instead. Everyone was looking at us because we all looked so fine and some people were trying to be slick and trying to sit close to our table. These shot girls came by and told us about their drink specials and that we would all get a free shirt with two orders of Margaritas. How easy can this night get for us? So we must have had like ten Margaritas total so we were wasted!! We went outside and we run into Cliff, Bobby, and Paul!! They were like, 'Big Art!!' and I never figured out how I am big Art? but anyway, we all sat together and drank some more. I think my body was about eighty percent liquor that night. Jenn looks at me and goes, 'Look it's Natalie!!' and I look over and sure enough it was them!! I was so freaking excited that I ran over and we all had a group hug!! I love them so much!! and it had been forever since I've seen them. I was looking at Natalie's ring and it was so huge!! Josh proposed to her and now she is wearing the biggest rock I have ever seen on her finger. I can't even stress the huge rock factor. It's the Clockman Diamond for real. So we all started talking about how everyone was and it was so great seeing Mariel and Virginia. Seth wanted to go to my party but he wasn't twenty one so I tried my best to put his name on the Guest List and hope that they'd let him inside. We saw so many people that night. Then this guy comes out of nowhere and he is the dunk tank guy and people kept pushing the botton from behind so the guy kept falling into the water!! It was so freaking hilarious!! He fell in so many times that the tank actually had a freaking leak!! We could not stop laughing. Then me and Jenn saw this guy who always has a different theme and that night he was an astronaut!! Last time I saw him he was so preppy and the time before that he was a G-thug. We don't know what he will show up as next? Jenn was killing me the jokes and my stomach was hurting from laughing so much. So then Tias was closing and we needed to leave and Bobby was like, after party at my place so we took forever trying to figure out who was driving with who. By the time we got to Bobby's it was so late and everyone was already too drunk to even hit up Club Downstairs R Kelley style so we just made an Cameo and dipped out and went home. But we had such an awesome time at Tias and it was the best prep-party for my OC birthday party which was going to take place at Coyote Ugly Saloon in Ybor City. This night was the best Mexican Celebration I have ever had!! how perfect are these consecutive events!! Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone!!
more pictures.. Enjoy!!

arthur's oc party
Thur 05/06: man.. last night tops off all the nights that i have been partying all season long. I can't even begin to explain last night but I guess i will begin with my final exam. i had my final for my Advertising class yesterday and i love my teacher Nicole so much!! i showed up to class and then she says, 'okay class, before we begin with our exam I would just like to say Happy Birthday to Arthur and i got you guys cupcakes to eat.' How freaking adorable is she? I love her!! she got us all little cupcakes that say Happy Birthday on them. i wanted to cry when everyone in the class started to sing Happy Birthday. i really heart my Advertising class and what a great way to end the semester and start off a birthday party. So I rushed into the computer room, printed out my Guest List, and headed off to Sherry's. I was running so late to my own freaking birthday party. So I got there and we waited for Megan and Erica to arrive. They were so freaking hott because they all wore matching shirts so that they could be my Coyotes for the night. They took the shirts, ripped the middle and the arms, and they all wore jeans and silver necklaces. i looked at them and thought to myself, I could not have any better best friends than the four that was in front of me. Jenn, Erica, Megan, and Sherry really are great friends and we have been through so much together that it's like three novels of history by Robert Frost. So we drank the rest of our wine and headed off to the strip. We made it right on time to get perfect parking which was like 2.5 seconds away from Coyote Ugly. At first I was thinking, this Guest List better give us something for free. I didn't even know why I had a guest list since we were going to get free drinks all night anyway. I met this guy, "mr. Smith" who originally my friend Mareena had met and introduced him to me and he tells me, 'I heard it was your birthday.. Happy Birthday.' Then hands me forty dollars and says buy yourself whatever you want tonight its on me. And I am being for real. I looked at the money twice to make sure that it didn't say Monopoly so this random dude was buying us drinks left and right. He kept telling us, 'just put it on my tab..' and he didn't have to tell me that twice. What a nice guy!! Then Bobby goes, 'Arthur come here!! we just paid for you to get a Coyote Shot..' And I'm looking at him like, 'No freaking way!! I'm not taking one of those!!' and then Paul goes, 'Well we just paid for one so your going to take it!!' and so i took it and drank a shot off one of the Coyotes. It was so freaking crazy. They pour more liquor into your mouth after you are finished. So this is what went down at the bar. This coyote takes my face, S&M style, and then shoves it on her belly botton to take this tequila shot!! and then I have to take the lime from her mouth. The other Coyote above her is hosing me down with liquor and I was getting wasted so freaking fast like Speed Racer. Plus my best friend Lara kept buying me shots too!! okay.. I was wasted!! Then Nicole and Zannette gave me their gift and they were so cute!! I love them so much!! They knew exactly what I wanted too!! I kept looking at Zannette and I'm like, ' awwwww!! ' i read the card and those words meant so much to me. People have no idea how tight me and Z were and I mean it was so tight that you want even step up a notch onto that belt loop. We have so much history!! Even more than the damn history chanel. And it was so great seeing Nicole and Sherry party together. I think EVERYONE was surprised. It surprised me because Nicole has said a lot of mean things about Sherry and her boyfriend Aaron behind their backs and I kept telling Nicole that Sherry was a great person. And plus Nicole would always poke fun at her but I'm glad that she realizes that Sherry is not the person who she thought she was. Sherry is an amazing best friend and a real person. And I'm glad that all the hating on my best friend Sherry was over. They all got up on that bar and broke it down- broke it down.. and I mean they tore it up Coyote Ugly style!! It was so pimp!! I looked at Zannette and I was like, 'I hope you know that your going up there!!' and she looks at me like I was crazy and she goes, 'Ummm.. I don't think so.' So I look and her again with this HUGE grin on my face and I'm like, 'hee hee, yes you are baby!!' So we helped her up and she joined Erica, Sherry, Jenn, and Megan. They all looked so fine up there!! More rounds of drinks were being distributed thanks to Mr. Smith. We had people buying us drinks left and right like it was their job. We were all getting so wasted so quickly. The General Manager of the place looks at me and goes, 'I have something for you, don't go anywhere.' I'm thinking, 'what is she up to now?' Everything this night was so spontanious that I really didn't know what was going to happen next so I see her go over towards the microphone and says, 'Okay everybody in the bar!! Listen up!! We have a very special person in the bar tonight celebrating his birthday so on the count of three I wanted everyone to wish him a Happy Birthday so one.. two.. three.. Happy Birthday!! and everyone in the bar shouted and I'm so freaking bashful at this moment like I was one of the Seven Dwarfs and my cheeks were so red. I was having such an amazing time!! Then all of the sudden someone taps me over the shoulder and I'm like, 'who is tapping me?' and I turn around and I see Giga, Gigi, Lenor, and Tara!! I start freaking out and I love these girls to death. They are like family to me. So we go up to the other bar area and start ordering drinks. Lenor was so cute because she kept asking me if I wanted a drink. This girl I owe so much too because so many times have we went out and so many times she gives me the hook up. Lenor I love you baby!! You are so fine!! Then the Polaroid man comes and you know we have to take a polaroid picture because the way we do it at the HoneyComb Hideout, we keep it infamous. And we like to shake it like a polaroid picture so it would make sense to at least take one right? so we did and it came out so great!! Lara orders me another shot and by that time I was seeing triplets. Then more people come up to me and say Happy Birthday. I literally had to lean in close to see who they were and it was Natalie, Josh, Virginia, and Gabe!! It was so good to see them!! Josh and Natalie looked so great and they dressed up just for me!! They always do so much for me that it makes me blush just thinking about it. Josh and Natalie are engaged by the way and who knew that the first time I introduced them that they would be the perfect couple. I knew from day one that they would live happily ever after!! The night wasn't even done. I meet the owner of Coyote Ugly and he is good friends with my best friend Sherry. He tells me, 'so I heard that it was you birthday. Well I want to tell you that whatever you want for the rest of the night you can put on my tab.' How many times am I going to hear these words? It's like winning the slot machines in Vegas over and over again. So I take his offer and then he is like, 'Also, here is my vip card so that whenever you come into Coyote Ugly from here on out, you won't have to ever pay and you and your friends can sit up in my VIP booth and order anything you want.' I'm like, 'geeze, thanks..' He didn't even give me a chance to blink. Scooter was so freaking cool that it makes James Bond look like Inspector Gadget. We were all chillin in the VIP booth like rockstars and kept ordering drinks left and right. Then Scooter tells me, 'You know what it's time for?' And I'm an idiot and look at my watch like I was really looking for a time.. but he tells me that I was about to take a Coyote Shot. I'm thinking, Dammit!! I'm going to get trashed!! So I look at Sherry and I'm like, 'You going to do this with me.' So this Coyote takes me and lays me on the bar while she takes a shot and shoots it from her mouth to mine. These Coyotes are off the freaking heezey!! so then she takes off her belt and tells me to turn around and I'm like, great!! let me guess.. twenty-four spankings right? Ha. So she did the deed and I'm laughing so hard. Everyone was like Happy Birthday and it was so freaking awesome!! This was such an amazing birthday for me!! I ended up spending the night in Sherry's bed and we passed out till the next day and I woke up thinking, 'damn.. last night was off the chiz-zain.. so this is what the aftermath of Coyote Ugly feels like!!' It was just like the movie but only better.. I was with my best friends and I couldn't ask for more. I must be the luckiest guy in the world to have such amazing people to come out and help celebrate my transformation from being twenty-three to twenty-four. Geeze, I'm such an old man!! I better go and apply for my social security while I'm at it. I'll see you all later!! Thanks everyone for such an amazing birthday!! I will NEVER forget it!!

more updates!! abercrombie summer..
Sat 05/08: so much is going on that i am having an event overflow!! party month has just begun and already plans are getting filled up by the minute. So this past Friday, during my recovery of my birthday party, Josh wanted to come over so that we could all play golf at Lake Jovita!! So me, Natalie, and Josh stopped by his house and got the golf clubs. I got to see Ming!! Ming is my favortie little dog. He looks like Gizmo from the movie Gremlins. He is so cute!! And we left to the golf range and started hitting away. Me and Natalie were like, 'Let's go get some soda!!' because it was so freaking hot out there. Josh was trying to teach me how to play golf but I still do not understand the concept of the game. I'd rather do homework. jk.. but we have so much fun when we are all together. We always have so much fun putting too!! and of course Josh always wins!! Natalie usually makes second place leaving me going home with the bronze medal. You can't even take that to the pawn shop!! Ha. So then my buddy John flew down for the weekend and I am so excited. He left me a message saying, 'Arthur, I'm so sorry that I missed your birthday party but we are going to make up for it this weekend!!' which is tonight!! so Natalie told me that her friend is having a house party so I am excited. Then my best friend Elena is throwing me a birthday-Q aka: birthday bar-b-q at her house this afternoon. I am so excited about all this food I am about to eat. And tomorrow is Mother's Day and I love my mom so much!! she is like the best mom in the world times infinite!! Yesterday she made me lunch and we sat and talked about everything. I think it's awesome how we are down like that. She is so freaking awesome!! I also have to stop by the mall to buy my mom and my sister a gift for Mother's Day. Moms do so much that they need something to help make their day better so I need to put some extra thought into these gifts. I was a handfull growing up and imagine raising nine children? Yeah. We were off the chain and tens times the cast of Married With Children. So anyway, I had the best birthday ever and I am so thankful for everyone that came out. It means so much to me!! I feel like donating stuff to the Salvation Army thats how great I feel right now. Well my birthday month is far from being over so I will keep everyone posted on what's next in my life and post up more new pictures!! Also I start my new job at Pier One Imports on Monday!! I can't freaking wait!! Life is so awesome that I can pass out right now.. Someone call the nurses office.. I need some revival medicine!! Later!! Mon 05/10: the other night we all celebrated for so many different reasons at John's house but I will get to that story in just a minute. I wanted to talk a little bit about my day before I forget because I be forgetting. So, I started my new job today!! it feels so weird waking up at seven in the morning getting ready for work. So THIS is what everybody does!! ohhhh.. okay, so people do wake up before 2pm during the week because it was mad hard for me to open my eyes. My first instincts was to shut off my alarm but I kept telling myself, maybe the third or fourth day of work but not the first. That is just the cardinal rule of the working industry that I do not want to break. My manager is so cute too!! She is this forty year old lady who cracks me up with her jokes. She is so sweet and tells me that I can pick what days I would like to work so I go back on Thursday for my real deal - on the sales floor - hands on work. I can't wait! I am so happy that I am finally giving back to society. I came home and played with my new digital camera!! oh yeah, thats right, I forgot to tell you guys!! Natalie and Josh bought me a digital camera for my birthday!! Okay, how much can I love them both now? when Natalie told me to open up my gift I really had no idea what was inside. When I first saw it I could not beleive it and I almost fell over her bed. Isn't that so freaking awesome? So I have a digital now and I will be taking a million more pictures. So you guys get DSL so that you can view all my new pics because I know that it must take a million years for my pictures to download and trust me, my computer is ghetto fabulous too so we're all on the same page. Anyway, so we all went over to John's Friday night to help celebrate my birthday, Josh and Natalie's engagement, and John becoming from regular John into Dr. John MD.. and yes this is no misprint, John is officially a doctor now!! We are so proud of him!! so we all hitted up the hot tub in Dade City and ate strawberries with our wine. It was so freaking relaxing. I could have sat in that hot tub for hours. So once my fingers started to get wrinkles, it was time to get out. So anyway, It was great to see John in town, and also mad props to him in becoming Dr. John the plastic surgeon.. John is a pimp!! and also congratulations to my best friends Josh and Natalie!! you guys are my favorites!! i am so happy for you both!! :: Monday :: LateNight :: so me and my sister went to the mall today to buy more clothes and I bought her this cute striped Polo shirt for Mother's Day. i was meaning to buy her a gift on Friday but that's what happens when you procastinate. If you look in Webster's dictionary you will see my picture next to it. I had so much fun on Mother's Day!! We had breakfast at my mom's then we went to Adam's gradparents for lunch, had seconds, played card games, then went back to my mom's for dinner. I ate so much!! So this past weekend was an eat-a-thon for me. Do I win a prize? I need to check the scale asap. The one at Publix is busted because I know that I do not weigh what it said. oink oink.. anyway, We went to go see Van Helsing this weekend!! I actually liked it. Some people said it was an alright movie but i thought that it was pretty damn good. The vampire ladies were really hott and kept distracting me from watching the movie. They looked like Victoria Secret models. I'd say that this movie was action packed.. but then again, it has been a while since I've seen an action packed movie so who knows. Tonight my sister and I watched The Twilight Zone. That movie is so creepy. and we hid underneath the covers. I remember staying up late at night when I was around nine and watching these scary ass stories. I still remember a few of them on the top of my head and I'm sure you guys have a few in mind as well. Everyone has their favorites. So I was about nine and I would sneak into the living room to watch the show. When it was time for bed I would make sure that there wasn't anything underneath my bed and I would hide underneath so many pillows and blankets. My dad would always tell me, 'don't do that because you might sufficate under there..' so never again in my life I ever slept underneath the covers. Those are just a few random factoids dads tell their kids and don't realized that they actually scared them. Ha. I want to go to checkout International this week. I am waiting for my check to come in and I'm already making a Check List 'part two' of Things To Buy. Isn't that so aweful? i'm always making a list of things to buy even when I don't have money. And I even check the list twice. I feel like Santa Claus. I want to go to Rooms To Go or something to checkout comforters and pillows. The one that I use now really hurt my back and I feel like I am sleeping on rocks. I sleep a lot better when I'm on my couch than I do on my bed. I was even thinking of putting a couch in my room and getting rid of that 18th century bed. It's like, 'here you go Merlin.. have fun!' 'I can't live my life this way' just like Kanye West says. I have priorities you know. Sleeping is something I need to value since I will not be getting much of it this summer. I have a class that is five hours long. Can we all say, 'BYOP?' bring your own pillow. Well kiddies, I am off to bed.. I hope everyone had a goodnight and I will talk to everyone real soon. Later!!

We are so proud of him!! so we all hitted up the hot tub in Dade City and ate strawberries with our wine. It was so freaking relaxing. I could have sat in that hot tub for hours. So once my fingers started to get wrinkles, it was time to get out. So anyway, It was great to see John in town, and also mad props to him in becoming Dr. John the plastic surgeon.. John is a pimp!! and also congratulations to my best friends Josh and Natalie!! you guys are my favorites!! i am so happy for you both!! :: Monday :: LateNight :: so me and my sister went to the mall today to buy more clothes and I bought her this cute striped Polo shirt for Mother's Day. i was meaning to buy her a gift on Friday but that's what happens when you procastinate. If you look in Webster's dictionary you will see my picture next to it. I had so much fun on Mother's Day!! We had breakfast at my mom's then we went to Adam's gradparents for lunch, had seconds, played card games, then went back to my mom's for dinner. I ate so much!! So this past weekend was an eat-a-thon for me. Do I win a prize? I need to check the scale asap. The one at Publix is busted because I know that I do not weigh what it said. oink oink.. anyway, We went to go see Van Helsing this weekend!! I actually liked it. Some people said it was an alright movie but i thought that it was pretty damn good. The vampire ladies were really hott and kept distracting me from watching the movie. They looked like Victoria Secret models. I'd say that this movie was action packed.. but then again, it has been a while since I've seen an action packed movie so who knows. Tonight my sister and I watched The Twilight Zone. That movie is so creepy. and we hid underneath the covers. I remember staying up late at night when I was around nine and watching these scary ass stories. I still remember a few of them on the top of my head and I'm sure you guys have a few in mind as well. Everyone has their favorites. So I was about nine and I would sneak into the living room to watch the show. When it was time for bed I would make sure that there wasn't anything underneath my bed and I would hide underneath so many pillows and blankets. My dad would always tell me, 'don't do that because you might sufficate under there..' so never again in my life I ever slept underneath the covers. Those are just a few random factoids dads tell their kids and don't realized that they actually scared them. Ha. I want to go to checkout International this week. I am waiting for my check to come in and I'm already making a Check List 'part two' of Things To Buy. Isn't that so aweful? i'm always making a list of things to buy even when I don't have money. And I even check the list twice. I feel like Santa Claus. I want to go to Rooms To Go or something to checkout comforters and pillows. The one that I use now really hurt my back and I feel like I am sleeping on rocks. I sleep a lot better when I'm on my couch than I do on my bed. I was even thinking of putting a couch in my room and getting rid of that 18th century bed. It's like, 'here you go Merlin.. have fun!' 'I can't live my life this way' just like Kanye West says. I have priorities you know. Sleeping is something I need to value since I will not be getting much of it this summer. I have a class that is five hours long. Can we all say, 'BYOP?' bring your own pillow. Well kiddies, I am off to bed.. I hope everyone had a goodnight and I will talk to everyone real soon. Later!!

celebrity life.. it doesn't get any better than this..
arthur and Jordana Brewster from The Fast and The Furious
the OC
Mon 04/26: my birthday party is only a few weeks away and I am so excited!! i have been in hybernation the past few days because this past Friday completely wiped me out!! that was an incredible night!! those drinks were off the chain. So i've been looking through jobs and here are the updates for all three: First me and Erica applied at Hollister to get discounts on their clothes then quit right away. The interview we had with the manager was weird because we mainly talked about parties and what does 'What animal would you like to be?' have anything to do with working at Hollister? Okay I think that girl had one too many martinis the night before. So we left that job thinking, 'What was that all about?' My next interview was at Pier One Imports. The first lady who interviewed me loved me to death!! She pretty much was telling me that I was over qualified and to please come back for the second interview. I went and the second interview was with the store manager and she thought that I was a riot. She said that she will give me a call later this week. Then today I talked to my friend Lauren and she told me about this other job near International. So I made an appointment tomorrow at noon to speak with the owner. I hope I land this job because they are offering to pay me fifteen dollars an hour and plus I will be working right next to Lauren. We even get our own offices!! I'm so excited. Who knew that applying for jobs would be so much fun? I should have tried this a long time ago!! i need to go shopping for work clothes now. I wonder if Hugo Boss has any sales on dress pants? anyway, so I have to catch up on a lot of schoolwork in order for me to go out this weekend. I have so much work ahead of me so I will see everyone later this week!! See ya! -> updates <- Tues 04/27: i got maybe two hours sleep total from today and yesterday, okay.. maybe that is exagerrating but thats how I feel!! I am so exhausted!! I just want to watch the rest of this movie and go to sleep. I have a huge Final tomorrow for my Political Science class and I'm not looking forward to it. But what I am looking forward to is my new job that I got with Lauren for this mortgage company. At least I think thats what it's for? Ha. Only me, that will go out and find a job and not really know what I'm getting myself into. It's almost as bad as switching to another insurance company other than Gieco. Ha. I love those damn commercials. So my interview today went like this: I went to type up my Resume (which I really have no idea how to even make) but I pulled it off and wrote down all my information and job history. I went to the nineth floor and I see this cute receptionist girl and already I knew that this was going to be a flawless interview. Sike. I walk up to her and she asks, 'Who are you here to see?' And I tell her, 'Jason.' She looks at me and then back at her monitor and says, 'Ummm.. your going to have to be more specific than that.' I told her that I didn't know his last name and the main reason why I even showed up for this interview was to learn more about the job. But she didn't take in any charm from me. I could have been the funniest person to the girl but she wasn't having it. She wanted a last name and if I didn't know it, I wasn't going to get past her. Okay, do I just back up a few steps then run and drop kick the biatch? or do I calmy walk away back to the elevators? Okay, I really did not drive all the way there to get turned down so I patiently walked back to my car to get Jason's cell phone number. I get his answering machine but thank the heavens that he leaves his last name. Okay. I got it!! I go back to the nineth floor and I'm back for round two. She then tells me that she would be happy to walk with me to his office. After a while she wasn't so bad. I guess I didn't have to drop kick her after all. So i walk into Jason's office and our interview lasts for five minutes. Don't bust out The Guiness Book of Worlds Records just yet.. so her offers me the job and I start within a week making fourteen dollars an hour. Chi-ching!! Can we all say shopping sprees? Damn. I am so excited but I didn't want to show it in front of him so I waited till I got outside to scream and shout. I was so happy. Me and Lauren are going to have so much fun in our new job. And to think that we will be in our own office together making phone calls and ordering Chinese Take-Out. I seriously cannot wait. Then this evening I had to take my test and I didn't know that we were taking a test!! i kept thinking, 'Am I in the Twilight Zone?' So I take my test and I'm glad I came an hour early cuz then I had time to review but my friend Zannette didn't show up for class. I bet she didn't know that we were having a test either. So I went to call her on her cell after I took my exam but I didn't have her number on me. Dammit. That always happens too. Where is Carrot Top when you need him? So this day has just been so heptic and the week is far from being over. I have like 4 more Final exams to take, and trust me.. they are Never Final.. but I have to start hitting the books and prep for my weekend to come. My best friend Sherry's Graduation and her graduation party is this week, then Cinco De Mayo, then my OC Birthday Party. I need to invest on some No Doze because I won't be getting any sleep any time soon. Night ya'll. -> More updates <- the Reason: Wed 04/28: today is my final and i still haven't written out my outline but I will. I went to bed early last night because I told myself, 'I am getting some sleep tonight, Dammit!!' so i went to sleep and now I feel so much better. Nate called me early this morning and I feel bad that I don't talk to him as much as we used to. My life is so crazy right now and I need to pause the party mode and rewind a bit. I wish we all came with remote controls so that we could literally do this. But he was telling me about our New York trip but now that I just got this new job, I told him that I probably could not make it. It's not entirely my fault because I haven't really talked to him about the trip. Everytime we talk on the phone now it's about something really dumb like, 'So, what did you have for lunch today?' Ha. We always talk about nothing for so many hours. He told me that his parents still want me to come up and yes, it's nice that it's all paid for.. and yes, it's another plus that Nate's family is wanting me to be there with them. But I just don't know right now. I need to also think about myself and the things that I need to accomplish. If I go to New York that also means that I have to take a few days off of summer school. Do I really need to do that? I don't think that its right to place school to the side like an entree in a meal. School should be my number one priority right now and the whole thing just sucks. Nobody wins and I'm back to square one. And I'm not even good at math. And oh yeah, here is another highlight to my life. It just gets better and better by the minute. I was cleaning out my storage room at my mom's house and I found an envelope full of old pictures of my ex and me. I hate finding those things especially after I have moved on.. twice from that moment. I completely forgot about this person and how stupid I was at the time to fall for that 'bs'? All those up and down rollercoaster rides that come with meeting someone new is sometimes not even worth it. I am so glad that I am not that person today and I am so much better off in the long run.. and even Beyonce can relate cuz 'I can see the sunshine, with me myself, and I.' because to tell you all the truth, being in a relationship is not all that it's cracked up to be. Yes, in the beginning it's all fine and dandy and the birds are chirping, and you feel like a million dollars. But then give it two weeks and you find out that those birds left to fly down south for the winter, and that million dollars has been spent and your down to your last dollar bill. I am so satisfied of being by myself and hanging out with my best friends. and yes, I also have back-ups. Everyone should have one and I have three. so why do people stress so much about being with someone? it's crazy to me because most people that are in a relationship, well the one hundred percent of them, fight and argue all the time. I'm like, take it Judge Judy!! I hate being tied down and told what to do or where I should be able to go. Or to find out that your dating a druggie. I mean do you even know who you are talking to? Relationships are great when they are from a distance. You want and want and want some more but when you have it you are like, 'what did I get myself into?' I do this to myself too. It's like buying a new shirt. It is on display and you've been wanting it so bad for so damn long, but once you've purchased it, then what? usually the colors aren't as great as you thought it would be and you would only wear it maybe once or twice. If only relationships were easy to break off as returning them to where you purchased them and get your money back. That right there is the perfect world. How great would life be if we could return the bastards and get money back? That or store credit would be fine with me. 10:56pm This will be my longest entry yet. So how is everyone doing? I'm so freaking excited because I aced my Political Science final so eat that professor Bertlalan. I hope he doesn't read this site and if he does then I deeply appologize. is it really that late? Well tonight we had chicken for dinner and earlier I had Arby's for lunch.. oink oink.. i really need to watch these damn calories!! I might be having to get on Kanye's Workout Plan if I don't start watching what I eat. So I have one more Final next week and a Presentation due tomorrow. Everyone up for taking my place? Not everyone raise their hands all at once now. I will give ya'll a few seconds to respond.. .. ..well okay then, I guess I will be giving the presentation on my own. I feel the love here. The OC tonight wad off the chain, and I don't know what it is about two girls fighting and falling into the pool that just does it for me but I think it's called Entertainment. Folks, you gotta help me out here. We need more of these OC episodes. and also tonight was the American Idol and finally the red head goes home. My sister and I were so bad crossing our fingers hoping that Ryan Seacrest would call his name out to go home. It's just not right. The boy can sing but can he sing and give a performance? I get more action from watching grass grow. I'm sure he'll be missed but we are shooting for George and Fantasia for the final two. Now that is where we all cross our fingers and toes for. and take off your sox before you do that cuz some of ya'll might hurt yourselves. As for Celebrity Sightings, and no these aren't mine, but my friend Jimmerz. He saw Randy Savage and also Latino Heat from WWF Wrestling at Linens and Things the other day. I like to watch wrestling too and I remember cheering for Hulk Hogan at the age of eight to pulverize his opponent. I was such a little terror when I was a kid. I'm glad I grew out of that phase because I kept hurting myself when I jumped off of the couch and bodyslammed my brothers. I still have battle scars to prove it. Well I better get back to work. Finals are almost over and I can feel the heat from the sun that says, 'summer summer summer time..' That Will Smith for that outro.. Later folks!! Mean Girls Fri 05/01: Jenn took me to this really cute sub-sandwich place called The FireHouse today and I'm not a huge sandwich fan, 'sorry Jarrod'.. but the sandwiches there were so good!! flashback: I have been working out like crazy these past weeks. I think it is a great transition since Winter is starting so once Summer comes around again I will have a fine body. That is all that I really need right now is to stay healthy and stay away from all those Fast-Foods. I told ya'll about my eating habbits right? Well I eat a lot of food but I don't gain the weight!!! Seriously! I know some of ya'llz is probably hating on me right now, but for real, I like it but to a certain extent. My motabolism is off the heezey! I eat rice like its my job and four plates of it a day with chicken and whatever I stuff my face with isn't adding any pounds on my body. Like the other day at the gym, I found myself doing leg weights and eating Halloween Candy at the same time!!! Jenn told me that I shouldn't eat while I'm working out. Especially candy. But I think thats all an urban legend. She's just jealous cuz I had gummy worms and she didn't. Ha. Just kidding. I'm a fat person inside. So hopefully me working out can build something up to where I can gain weight and grow some muscles. I saw those magazines with those built muscular guys and I'm determined to look like one of them before the year 2004. Yes, this will take some time. Thin was in but now its time to gain some weight. Proteins and Carbo's. Proteins and Carbo's. I need to keep telling myself that. Oh yeah, so I got that job today at Lowes!!! I am their new greeter person. I'm actually getting paid to say, "Hi. Welcome to Lowes!!!" I'm also excited that I'm doing something that helps out the elderly. I'll be saying, "No ma'am, I'll carry that heavy lumber into your mini van." I didn't even know I had the job until I checked my voicemail today around three. I was busy at the mall with Jenn and Megan looking for some Air Force Ones. So yeah, I'm a working man now. Which means less partying. Well...okay maybe more partying, I won't exaggerate. But I'm so excited. Well kids, I need to shower. I'm beat from the gym. Me, Sherry, and Jenn worked out so much tonight. We are going to be so fine. We are fine now, but finer! This has been five days straight of running, lifting, and pushing! The results will all pay off eventually. Okay then... Night Kids! I called Jenn up today and said, 'Do you remember when we were at the YMCA and I was eating Halloween candy while I was on the treadmill?' She was like, 'Ohhh yeahhh.. I remember' Then I told her, 'omg.. I think I wrote about it on my old site so let me look for that entry and post it on my new site as a flashback..' so there it was!! I found that biatch!! so anyway, we went to Veterans to go see Mean Girls tonight and I used my AMC card. Remember those things? Ha. I think everyone and their moms had one of those!! I've had mine for like six or seven years now. I should post that ish on the Antique Road Show!! I'm surprised that it still works!! So here is the synopsis of this movie. Pretty much it's about a bunch of stuck up biatches who I guess 'rule the school' and try to bring in 'the new girl' into their group. The three girls have a leader, which is this girl who is the meanest of the three and she bosses the other two friends around and she thinks the world revolves around her.. Not! Then the second girl is this rich girl who's dad invented toaster stroodles.. give me a freaking break.. We were laughing so hard.. and the last girl is just a pretty girl but was incredibly dumb. I mean she said in one scene that she thinks she has ESPN. I won't even go further with how stupid this girl was. So what I see in the first few scenes in this movie is that these 'mean girls' push this classmate to the side in the hallway and the classmate was like, 'Oh, I'm sorry for getting in your way.' Okay, ..pause.. First off, if any one of those girls ever stepped up to me or any one of my friends they would get such a beatdown. Homey Don't Play Dat. I mean these girls were walking all over people and of course I am the one in the movie theatre that is tossing and turning in my seat because I would have reacted differently. Secondly, 'the plastics' that's what these girls called themselves, thought they were the shiz-nits but in the end of the movie they got put into their places. It's actually a funny movie and I love the main charachter in it who I think is the next Olsen Twin!! Everyone should go out and see it. It's a must see for the month of May.. geeze I sound like a movie critct!! Now back to you Ebert..

Fri 04/23: we had SUCH a great time last night!! i promise to have Updates real soon..
check back later tonight around 2am..
internationally Known.. updated: Sun 04/25 Sat 04/24: Tias has never looked this good. we had SUCH an awesome time last night!! you guys have no idea what struggling means until you have so many mixed drinks, Zannette's Ciclon, and several shots of Yeagermeister in your system and then having to wake up early the next morning to drive back home. Yeah, it's almost as hard as telling Pinnoccio that he wasn't made out of wood. Okay, let me give you guys the break down of our night!! So I spent the entire afternoon at the mall with Zannette and I have my entry for that right here in case you guys missed it the first time around: 8:11pm i didn't find anything at International but these Guess playing cards. And these aren't even regular playing cards, but the real deal 8 by 10 cards so that when you get drunk you can still see the suits. Ha. i can't wait to use them. Zannette on the other hand was off the chain and must have spent over four hundred dollars (close to five hundred) on Nicole's surprise gift which I will not say just yet.. and also two Arden B shirts, and jeans. We went everywhere to find jeans!! geeze! and the lady at the department store was such an idiot and left the sensor tag on them. We were like, 'what the hell?' the sensor didn't even go off!! but it sure did when we went back to buy the two shirts. I was checking my personal bank account and i did it again. I spent over a grand within three weeks!! dammit. I'm going to hire a credit councelor to deal with my finances. I need to not buy everything at sight. But it's all good because I have my job orientation tomorrow and I hope that I don't get too messed up tonight and not be able to perform tomorrow afternoon. Can you believe that i haven't had a job in almost a year? But who are we all kidding here? We all know that I will get so wasted that I will wake up with shaving cream on my face. Nicole and Zannette better not get me tonight!! I have Chewey on my side and he is going to be my personal Guard Dog. Ha. I can't wait to meet him!! Well kids, it's almost that time.. i am so freaking excited!! tonight, we're calling all the shots!! and then drinking them. ha! Later!! so yeah, that was our International experience.. so then afterwards i came back home and ran a few arrands and Zannette had her Candle Party at her house. So around 9pm I called up Erica and we both met at her house. Her parents were out of town and I just love saying that for the sake of saying those four words: Parents Out Of Town. just brings back so many great memories. She was already drinking wine when I got there and I was like, 'Thanks for waiting!!' Ha. So then I finally talked to Zannette and Nicole and got directions to the house. The drive is like crossing the Sahara Desert with no sandals on but it's worth it in the end. It's like on The Simpsons where Bart and Lisa keep asking, 'Are we there yet?' 'No.' 'Are we there yet?' 'No.' When we got there, Nicole answered the door and I was waiting for Macho to run up to us to say hello. Macho is Nicole's pitbull. But there was no dog in site and the cage was empty. So then Nicole was like, 'Oh yeah, Macho is at Evans with Cowboy.' So then I introduced Erica to Nicole and we sat in her livingroom while Nicole got ready. Nicole just bought more furniture from The Pottery Barn and her new throw rug is bad ass!! I wish I would have taken a picture of it. But it's awesome and just think: Pottery Barn. You just can't go wrong. Zannette called and we told her to stop by the liquor store to get some Ciclon and so when Zannette showed up, it was time to get drunk. Zannette looked so cute and her outfit was so pimp!! it's was literally Brand New, right out of the department store, out of the plastic package, just born today- type of new!! and so we busted out the drinks and then I started feeling it. I'm like, 'Yeah this drink is off the chain!!' and Zannette was like, 'I think you added a little too much Ciclon and not enough soda..' Ha ha. That explains everything. I couldn't even taste the tequilla though. We took a few pictures then left in Luis's new hooked up ride. It was so hooked up. Nicole was driving down Gunn while we had Toxic playing in the background and we felt like we were in the damn music video. We flew down Bearrs Avenue like it was our job and got to Tia's within a few minutes. Zannette knew the DJ there and he was playing all of our songs. I mean we broke it down, broke it down on the dancefloor. Nicole has some belly dancing skillz because when my thighs gave out, hers was still going. I was looking for inserts on her legs cuz I could have sworn she had Energizer Batteries built into her legs because she just kept going and going and going. I was like, 'Nicole!! I didn't know that you could dance like this!!' They played Dust Your Shoulders Off by Jay-Z, Usher's Yeah, Lil Jon's Saltshaker, and then they also played Where The Good P&*%y At, and we all pointed to our group cause that's where it's at so we had to let everyone know. And they knew. There were a ton of viewers around us too. Me and Zannette ran into Neil and then ran away. I even saw Seth but I was being a retard and avoiding everyone on site. I don't like talking to people when I'm drunk. Just to those who I rode up with. Erica took care of me and I feel like writing out a little ticket saying: IOU on it. It was so much fun. Then we took our second rounds of Yeagarbombs at the bar and by that time, I was really feeling it. I had to hold on to Erica to get around Tia's. We left Tias and had to pick up Chewey (Zannette's dog) and he is so cute!! i love him!! we took him back to Nicole's because we stuck with Plan B and that was Operation get krunk at Nicole's place. We drove back home, made a few gourmet meals, Nicole made perrogi's and I made Oodles of Noodles and Erica hooked it up with the rice, I love you Erica!! then headed off to bed. i didn't even remember how I got in bed but I knew that I had to rest my eyes aka: go to sleep. Ha. Me and Erica slept in the guest room and called it a night.. geeze!! Those Yeaggar Bombs take care of business. It was a great night and now we are all thinking, 'damn.. last night kicked our asses..' and our next destination is going to be Skye. Saddle up kids because we are going for another bumpy ride. This is Round Two.
what's coming up next: skye Lounge
Nicole we love You!! Last night was off the chain!!
semester two is almost over!! it's time to bust out the champagne bottles and celebrate!! don't stop till you get enough..
-> this is me and Erica passed out in Nicole's Guest Room and the second picture is Erica, Nicole, Charlotte, and Zannette <-
-> welcome to my site <-
Fri 04/23: tonight is the night I have been waiting for all freaking week!! i'm so excited for it that I wish I had that car from Back to The Future and fast forward to tonight!! i'm going to Erica's stylist with Erica at 12pm and should be done within an hour.. and then I'm going to International with Zannette to find a shirt and if not I'm going to wear my 'Eat Italian' shirt from Abercrombie. i'm actually at the library right now getting a few things done for school before i get completely wasted and so I will be out and about all day, and if you guys need to get a hold of me just leave me a message on my pager. Later!
8:11pm i didn't find anything at International but these Guess playing cards. And these aren't even regular playing cards, but the real deal 8 by 10 cards so that when you get drunk you can still see the suits. Ha. i can't wait to use them.

spring fling
[ countdown to arthur's OC Party this May 6th!! ]
Thur 04/22: okay first things first before i forget.. because i be forgetting, i was leaving the mall to head back to school and this car was driving down the street blasting its speakers. I think he was playing Saltshaker but I couldn't really hear it because all I heard was bass. What was so funny is that it was so loud that it made the car alarm next to it go off. Me and a lady with her baby next to me started laughing so hard. She was like, 'I've never seen that happen before!!' and I was like, 'That is thug life!!' so anyway, i thought that was funny. Was that an over-share or was that an okay story to post up on my site? well i didn't find anything at Brandon!! Dammit. I'm pissed because to add more dilemas to my Thursday, I also forgot my damn advertising notebook at home so now I have to drive back and get it!! Will this day ever end? For real. I'm ready for bed. Where is my pajamas and my remote control so that i can set on the timer and fall asleep? but on a happier note, I cancelled my appointment with Megan's stylist and I made a new appointment for tomorrow with Erica's. I told her that I've never been to a real professional person before and that I wanted suggestions. She said that she would highlight my hair and give me tips on growing it out. So me and Erica are going tomorrow afternoon to do that. I am so excited about tomorrow night. I'm checking my jeans to see if I pee'd in my pants because I am so excited!! I'm down to two shirts (since I can't find anything else) and it's my 'Eat Italian' shirt and this new Abercrombie baseball shirt that says, dammit I forgot but it's tight too. I can't wait to get trashed with Nicole and Zannette!! We deserve this night!! I am so over school and all it's stress and formulas and mid-terms and study guides.

Most historians date the beginning of the modern civil rights movement in the United States to December 1, 1955. That was the day when an unknown seamstress in Montgomery, Alabama refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger. This brave woman, Rosa Parks, was arrested and fined for violating a city ordinance, but her lonely act of defiance began a movement that ended legal segregation in America, and made her an inspiration to freedom-loving people everywhere. Rosa Parks was born Rosa Louise McCauley in Tuskegee, Alabama to James McCauley, a carpenter, and Leona McCauley, a teacher. At the age of two she moved to her grandparents' farm in Pine Level, Alabama with her mother and younger brother, Sylvester. At the age of 11 she enrolled in the Montgomery Industrial School for Girls, a private school founded by liberal-minded women from the northern United States. The school's philosophy of self-worth was consistent with Leona McCauley's advice to "take advantage of the opportunities, no matter how few they were." Opportunities were few indeed. "Back then," Mrs. Parks recalled in an interview, "we didn't have any civil rights. It was just a matter of survival, of existing from one day to the next. I remember going to sleep as a girl hearing the Klan ride at night and hearing a lynching and being afraid the house would burn down." In the same interview, she cited her lifelong acquaintance with fear as the reason for her relative fearlessness in deciding to appeal her conviction during the bus boycott. "I didn't have any special fear," she said. "It was more of a relief to know that I wasn't alone." After attending Alabama State Teachers College, the young Rosa settled in Montgomery, with her husband, Raymond Parks. The couple joined the local chapter of the NAACP and worked quietly for many years to improve the lot of African-Americans in the segregated south. "I worked on numerous cases with the NAACP," Mrs. Parks recalled, "but we did not get the publicity. There were cases of flogging, peonage, murder, and rape. We didn't seem to have too many successes. It was more a matter of trying to challenge the powers that be, and to let it be known that we did not wish to continue being second-class citizens." The bus incident led to the formation of the Montgomery Improvement Association, led by the young pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The association called for a boycott of the city-owned bus company. The boycott lasted 382 days and brought Mrs. Parks, Dr. King, and their cause to the attention of the world. A Supreme Court Decision struck down the Montgomery ordinance under which Mrs. Parks had been fined, and outlawed racial segregation on public transportation. In 1957, Mrs. Parks and her husband moved to Detroit, where Mrs. Parks served on the staff of U.S. Representative John Conyers. The Southern Christian Leadership Council established an annual Rosa Parks Freedom Award in her honor. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Parks founded the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self-Development. The Institute sponsors an annual summer program for teenagers called Pathways to Freedom. The young people tour the country in buses, under adult supervision, learning the history of their country and of the civil rights movement. "I do the very best I can to look upon life with optimism and hope and looking forward to a better day, but I don't think there is anything such as complete happiness. It pains me that there is still a lot of Klan activity and racism. I think when you say you're happy, you have everything that you need and everything that you want, and nothing more to wish for. I haven't reached that stage yet."
i got a job interview!! i got a job interview!! ..okay now what do i do?
i got a job interview!! Tues 04/20: i have a job interview tomorrow!! Can you guys believe it?? it's news to me too!! What is work again? Hold on, let me get a dictionary real quick.. Let's see.. Oh yeah.. that's right. It's what people do while I'm at school or laying out by the pool. i haven't had a job since last summer and now this place I had applied to eight months ago is finally calling me back and so I go in tomorrow at 12:30 sharp!! wish me luck guys!! I need everyone cross their fingers and toes for this one, and add like ten Mississippi's to that just for good luck. I've been wanting a job mainly to give back to society. That and because all of my friends are working and I always call them while they're at work and I get off the phone thinking, 'who am I going to the pool with now?' Everyone is at work!! so I'm going to put on my best suit tomorrow and talk to the orientation lady to see if they can pay me more than minimum wage. and also I am going to Megan's hair stylist next week and I'm going to grow my hair out longer so that I can have a cooler mo-hawk!! It's a step up from the mullet haha.. so it's going to look a little like this: Look at the bottom of this entry for the picture.. i might even go with Contacts too when it's all said and done. I love my glasses to death but everyone is getting Lipo and tuck-ins, and Crest Whitening their teeth, that I need to catch up with society. I heard that Megan's stylist is really good too and can cut me a great deal with the highlights and haircut. I'll let you guys know how everything turns out next weekend. Later!!
 <- from this to this -> 
Nikki's birthday party at bahama breeze <- pictures are finally here!!
<- also i had a few Celebrity Sightings tonight!! you won't even believe who we ran into!!
Sun 04/18: i'm still hung over from last night so I just didn't even try to sober up at all today so officially, i've been drunk for over twenty-four hours now. geeze. Can we all say alcoholism? I mean for real, let's not all run to the telephone at once to set up a meeting with the AA. because if we called AAA then that would be to fix an automobile and we're not trying to break into cars right now. I am so freaking tired and I will be going to bed soon so here it the update for Nikki's Birthday Party: we had so much fun tonight!! I'm telling you, this month is just plain crazy. And to think that it's not even close to being over and we have like the entire month of May already planned out. So I went over to Sherry's and got ready over there. She is like, 'Arthur, I have something for you on the table.' And I'm like, 'oohh.. what is it?' I see an envelope with my name on it and she is like, 'Open it up.' and it's an invitation to her graduation party. My baby is finally graduating with honors in Psychology. I'm over here struggling through Advertising while she is making A's like it's her job. How does she do it? I told her on the car ride home tonight that I have no idea how she can party and still maintain to be on the USF deans list. Geeze!! so We're all going this May and I'm so excited for her!! The rest of the girls showed up and we took two cars out to Bahama Breeze because we didn't want to ride up there like Mexicans. We pull up and we get front row parking and it was so perfect since two cars were just leaving. I'm like, 'how freaking perfect can this parking situation get?' it's damn good considering the fact that Bahama Breeze was packed. We walk up to the bar and we see Nikki's friends and Nikki wasn't there yet. We had a lot of people with us so seating everyone at once would be crazy. We ordered some drinks and of course I gave the bartender hell by asking him how old he thought I was. He told me 75 and I was like, whatever!! and showed him my ID. I look like I'm fifteen. We got some wine and that was when I saw Nikki, Leo, and Andy walk up. Sherry gave Nikki her birthday present and she loved it!! The guys kept ordering us drinks and it was so nice of them. And these drinks aren't cheap either. Andy was like, 'Arthur, don't be shy either.. order whatever you want.' I'm telling you, those few words to me is like winning the Florida Lottery man. 'Cuz I'm drinking, and their paying for it!!' just like Petey Pablo said. So I'm like shoot, let's jump start to the mixed drinks menu then. Skip all this wine bs and get to the hard liquor. So we're getting krunk and I kept saying, 'I wanna get f-ed up!!!' and Sherry was like, 'I am wasted!!' Jenn, Megan, Becky, and Erica all wanted to get something to eat before we headed off to Splitsville so we went to Tia's Tex Mex real quick and had appetizers over there. Plus we were meeting up with Erica's twin sister Ashley there. We weren't about to wait three hours to get food at Bahama Breeze because I wasn't about to make enemies with my stomach tonight so I had a bowl of soup at Tia's along with a freaking huge margarita. Jenn kept saying, 'Are you going to order anything to eat?' and I'm like, 'Yeah, I'm going to eat liquor.' I'm going to get trashed tonight. I might as well since I was already hungover. We had fun at Tia's and Erica tells me that we should open up a franchise since we are always there. We should bring over a sleeping bag next time and some pillows up in that biatch. Ha. Act like we own the place because sometimes we do. We went back to Bahama Breeze and we ordered more drinks. It was getting cold and all I had was a shirt and jeans and also this Pharrell hat that I bought at Fossil. I had my hat tilted to the side and everything. So I'm standing there and Jenn goes, 'omg look who it is!!' and I glance over and I see like four different guys so I'm like, 'okay, what exactly are we looking at here?' She is like, 'That is Dwight Smith' and I'm like, 'ohhhh yeahh!! that is him!!' Not like I really care for Football players or anything but he was just standing there chillin with some old lady. I wasn't about to go up to him because he wasn't no Katherine Zeta Jones where people will freeze and she pulls out her cell phone and tries to help somebody out like she does in her tv commercials. We just looked over and was like, 'Oh cool!! Dwight Smith.. anyways get me another drink..' Ha. We were waiting for more people to show up but then Leo just told them to meet us all at Channelside. So we leave Sherry's car and rode with Nikki, Leo, and Andy and of course Leo got Vallet and he pulls up in this bad ass brand new Mercedes and I'm like, 'omg, we are about to ride out in that!!' I love leather seats and sun roofs too!! we were pimped out. And I love it how everyone at Banaha Breeze was staring at us too, I mean they were all up in our ish like we were Brad Pitt and Jenifer Aniston and ish. We must have had like a thousand heads turning to look. damn poperrazi. So we get in the car and 'I'm lovin it' like McDonalds and Sherry is like, 'Arthur, I love you!!' and I'm like, 'No I love you!!' we fight about this all the time. But I always win in the end. We kept telling Nikki 'happy birthday' and she was in the front seat just taking in the whole experience. We pull up to Channelside and I'm looking out at all of the people. I felt like they were going to roll out the red carpet and ish. It was funny because we left like 20 minutes later than Erica and Jenn but we all showed up together. Jenn, Megan, Becky, Erica, and Ashley are like way ahead of us and me, Sherry, Nikki, Leo, and Andy are way far back and as I'm walking by I notice this guy who looks really familiar and I'm thinking, 'How do I know this guy?' Sherry is walking right next to me and I'm like, 'Why do I know him?' and I realize that it's the Subway guy!! It was freaking Jarrod from the Subway commercials. I wanted to run up to him and say, 'How did you do it!!?? Tell me your secrets!! How did you go on that damn Subway diet and not want to run over to McDonalds and eat a big fat hamburger!!' But I didn't. I was actually star struck seeing Jarrod at freaking Channelside. That was one crazy ass Celebrity Sighting. That's like running into Carrot Top. So we went into Splitsville and this was my first time ever being there and we sit up in this cool ass Samba Room. Leo and Andy were so nice and kept asking us what we all wanted to drink. I told Andy, 'ummm.. why don't you pick out my next drink?' and he was like, 'Have you ever had a fuzzy naval?' No I haven't. I'm usually just ask for a Long Island Iced Tea but since he was picking my drink for me he ordered a fuzzy naval. You know what? It was so good. Megan and Jenn kept telling me, 'that smells so good!!' and its crazy how you can smell a drink from across the table. I might as well pour some of it around my neck and wear it as a cologne. Ha. So then Becky and Erica were like, 'I want to taste it!!' whatever.. get your own Fuzzy Naval. Ha. that still sounds funny to me. Andy got everyone another round of drinks and I made them get their own fuzzies so now we had drinks all over the place. I was getting so drunk but then I remembered that I was the designated driver!! Dammit!! so I had to sover up. Sherry wanted me to drive her car so I told her that I would. But Andy was having people over for the after party and by that time I just wanted to go to sleep. So we went back to Bahama Breeze and picked up Sherry's car and we went home. I made sure that she got home safely. now what do I do with the rest of this month? there is so much going on the it's so hard to keep up with everything else. Like for instance, laundry day. My pile of clothes is staring to look like the Rocky Mountains and ish. Well anyway, I'm going to go to bed. I'm so tired and I still have a lot to do tomorrow. Goodnight everyone and I will try to post up the rest of my pictures of the past three weeks!! We took more pictures tonight so I'll re-post this entry when I get them back. Night!!

o-town <- just got back from Orlando.. and no I didn't bring back any souveniers..
Mon 04/19: i just got back from Orlando so I will have updates up and running soon.. give me a few minutes to collect all of my thoughts.. Later!
so i ended up spending like a million dollars again in Orlando this morning. We drove to International Drive and I wanted to check out the Outlets there. I got a new Guess necklace for Friday night and also three Guess rings. I didn't really find any shirts that I liked so I might wear my 'Eat Italian' shirt from A&F or my 'Satisfaction Guaranteed' shirt from Hollister. If not I guess have to hit up International again for the sake of Buddah. I got to eat at this really cool Chinese Restaurant unless %$#^#^$%^& isn't in Chinese. I'm guessing that it was since they served Dim Sum. But then again, this could be poser chinese food. You know.. like the kind of Chinese place that has everyone working there that isn't even oriental!! I handed the lady a hundred dollar bill and she lifted it into the air like she was part of The Lion King to see if it was real. I was like, 'Lady, the bill is ligit!! You don't have to call the police this time around.' Geeze. I guess she doesn't trust people that share the same love for Soy Sauce and Rice as I do!! Ha. We also went to the Nautica store and I love Nautica too. After 9th grade and when I grew out of my thug-life phase, I stopped wearing Nautica and Polo shirts but I just had to take a look and see if the gear still looked tight. It was the same as I remembered it, and I bought my brother in law some Nautica sweat pants because I was mailing my sister their gifts out today. I was almost late at the Post Office but thank goodness the lady there likes me and so she let me through. Whew. So anyway, I had fun in O-town. The reason why we went there in the first place is hilarious so I won't even mention it, zip up my lips, and throw away the invisible key. Oh comon now. You know ya'll have done that like a million times in your life so don't even try to act like you don't know what I'm talking about. Well I'm going to eat dinner now. Adam just finished cooking some Terriaki Chicken. And the fatty person that I am, I'll probably have like three servings. So I'll see you guys soon!! I can't wait for my party!! And I'm planning on sending out my invitations for my OC Party next week!! They look so tight too!!I hope everyone is ready to see me transform into an older man. But too bad I will still look like I'm eighteen. It's the curse of the rice cooker. I think those Age Defying Creams at Clinique and Elizabeth Arden are made up of asian people. I'm telling you guys!! The next time I'm at the mall, I will look at the ingredients and see. Later!!
get ready for the baddest party next to Summer's End..

update: 2:45am: i am soooo drunk right now that i'n not sure if I should even write and entry because i am so close to jst passing out!! seriously.. i had soo much fun tonidght and i also had way too much to drink. people need to stop buying me drinks and that is on the realz. Megan hurt my legs because i was dancing with her for like four hours and i'm starting to feel the soreness. this is my night too!!! This is all me!!! i desereve this freaking night and all of the long islands and parrot bay that comes with it. Forget school,and all of its bs.. because you know what>? i studied so hard this week that my school can kiss it and burn in the enferno!! I have a lot of editing to do tomorrow.. i can see this!! one of them is to be adding new pictures because I finally finsihed my roll of film. I finally finished my damn roll. Took me like eight years!! Let's all say ghetto all together now!! Ghet-to!! I am so sorry for the ghettoness guys but yep.. that is the situation in progress. How am i even using more than one syllable words? i have no clue. I had so much fun tongiht!!! i drank so much and i had so much fun with my peeps.. did i already say peeps? what is going on with this world? omg.. wait.. okay i just remembered something but then i forgot it so just forget it.. for real.. but tonight was so much fun!! i will explain more in detail tomorrow i guess.. Later people!! that;s much better. :: Recovering :: Ewww.. what was I on last night? I didn't even spell half of those words correctly. Whenever I get drunk I can't type for nothing. I am so on hangover status right now you don't even understand.. my head is throbbing and I feel like I got hit by a bus. Did I get hit by a bus last night? Let me check real quick. Okay, no. Everytime I feel this way I always promise myself to never drink again but I always end up drinking like a fish. How come Nemo never gets hangovers and he is an actual fish. Well last night I got so wasted. I think it was crazy because I got wasted right before I even got to Tias. I had went to the mall with Erica early that morning and we scoped out a few places and I found this bad ass shirt at Hollister and then a trucker hat at Fossil, like the one that Pharrell wears. Erica found this really bad bad ass outfit at Hollister and she looked so freaking fine last night you guys have no idea. Wait till I get my pictures back. So I met up Jenn at Best Buy later that evening and we were supposed to have dinner with Megan at the food court. I had Chik-Fil-A twice yesterday and I feel like a cow. No more fast foods for me.. really. I'm so over it. And you won't even believe the name of one of the fast food joints at this food court. It’s called Fat Burger. Okay, I will let that just sink in and digest into your heads for a few moments. …. …. ….. what the hell right? Why would someone eat at Fat Burgers? You have to be kidding me!!!!!! I'm so glad that I'm getting into advertising so that these things won’t happen. We met up Megan’s friend at Nordstrom and she is so cute. She was like, 'You are my new shopping buddy!!' We clicked right within the three minutes of just meeting her. We went to Aldo, XXI, Hollister, and then back to Nordstrom and Jenn could not find anything!! I was getting mad because there were a million shirts at XXI to choose from and she could not decide. So we went to Bebe and Jenn bought a cute tank there. She also got a matching hat at Pacific Sun and jeans at Express. Finally.. she was done!! We had to hurry because we wanted to get to Tia’s early and get pre-drink at Erica’s before we left. So we rushed to the ABC Liquor store and I bought a huge ass bottle of Parrot Bay and some pineapple juice. We got to Erica’s and Ann and Becky met us there. I kept walking back and forth from room to room and reminding everyone that we were leaving in fifteen minutes. Why do you even plan anything when your with a bunch of girls? They are NEVER on time and when they are, they forget their make-up bag in the bathroom. Ha. I just gave up. Ann and Becky rode with me and we were jamming to Kanye West as were pulling up. Right when I got there I saw my buddies Manuel and Matt at the bar. Doug was there too!! One of their friends was turning twenty one that night and I looked at him like, you are going to get so f-ed up tongiht!! Get ready to pass out and wake up with shaving cream and a hotdog in your back pocke. Ha. Manuel was like, 'What's up buddy? You can't call nobody back?' I don't have a cell phone. If I did, it would be attached to my ear. So he kept giving me the guilt trip of not calling him back. Whatever. After a few beers he would forget about it. Then Damaye and her boyfriend from France show up. They are so cute together!! When me, Natalie, and Josh went on our ski trip, Damaye and her boyfriend went to Europe. Okay, now how phat is that?? I can't even imagine!! so we're listening to the band outside and Jenn and Erica kept asking me to go inside where they play hip hop. I love Tia's because it has everything. So we did go inside and me and Megan tore up the dancefloor. At one point my thighs were starting to feel numb and I'm like, 'How are you still going Megan??' My legs hurt and she was still shaking her booty. My song came on, which is Lil Jon's new song called Culo!! It's our favorite song ever and we go crazy everytime we hear it. They even played Beyonce's Naughty Girl and we were like, 'Ohhhhhhh!!' ha, it was so much fun. I don't really re-call most of the night because everyone kept buying me drinks and plus I had so much Parrott Bay earlier at Erica's. We did take a few pictures.. and I'll try to post up all of them as soon as I can. But we had a great time!! We love Tia's and I have the hangover to prove it!! The End. :: at international :: I went to International twice in one day and someone needs to take away my ATM from me. I've spent eight hundred dollars in just two weeks and that not even including my new rims or tires. I spend money like it water flowing through the Nile river. I need to hire a budget control person and have them put my wallet in a glass case where I can't touch my own money. that way, my money will be safe. But for how long? Mwa ha ha!! I bought this really bad ass shirt from Hollister that says Aloha. I freaking love it!! Erica got a cute oufit from there too and in fact we both got application while we were there so we might be Hollisterians. Isn't that crazy? It was so out of the blue too. We were like, 'Hmmm.. why don't we try to work here?' What really got my attention was when I noticed that the people that were working there weren't doing anything and were getting paid and getting discounts on all of the clothes. I want discounts!! So me and Erica have our orientation this week so let's all cross our fingers and toes and hope that we get the job. We are going to be working now!! I don't have to be Billy Madison anymore!! Maybe just on the weekends. No more 'let me borrow five dollars and i'll pay you back!!' no more All American Meals at McDonalds because it's the cheapest meal with the most value.. and no more, I'll drive but I'll need gas money!!' ha. I am as ghetto as Mayonayse sandwhiches!!

Tues 04/13: last night was so much fun!! me and Jenn had dinner at Winner's with all our dawgs. Ha. Everyone was there!! John Holly, Dan, Charlie, Skurry, Dustin, Bill, Mike, Jose, and Neil. It was so good seeing everyone and half of those people I grew up with like fifteen years ago. Crazy huh? So then afterwards we went to Blockbuster and I bought a ton of new DVDs. I got The Texas Chainsaw Massicare, Charlie's Angel Full Throttle, Identity, and Jeepers Creepers 2. I told Jenn that we have a weeks worth of movies to watch. So the first one that we watched last night was The Texas Chainsaw Massicare. omg that biatch was scary!! we were eating our Starbusrts and sitting right up front and then when this one scene where the little boy walks by, Me and Jenn jumped and then we started laughing!! and so we thought that it ended there. But then when they showed the scene where they opened the cabinet to find an Opossum, we started laughing so hard for like fifteen minutes, my stomach hurt so much from laughing so hard. I'm like Jenn 'stop it please!!' Ha. Then we'd rewind the scene over and over again and laugh some more. I don't think I've laughed that hard in such a long time!! we had a blast and one thing I told Jenn when the movie was over was, 'It's okay, it's just a movie based on a True story!!' Hahahahahah.. that is so aweful too when you have to drive all the way home in the middle of the night. Natalie and Josh did that to me once and they told me, 'Drive home safely and just don't look in your rear view mirror.' I'm like, 'Natalie!!' I can't wait for my birthday party next month!! It's going to be so awesome!! I've already made my guest list and I'm going to be sending out my invitations a week before my party. I can't wait!! All of my best friends are going to be there!! I love it how they all go just for me. People show up and they are like 'we all love you Arthur!!' I am so lucky!! k, my cheeks are blushing now. My best friend Andrea called me up this week and she told me 'Happy Birthday!!' and I'm like, thanks for the birthday advancement. She is going to my party too and she better bring Rob!! Natalie's comedy thing is tomorrow night and I hope I finish my presentation so that I can go with them. She really wants me to hook up with her co-worker and I'm like, 'Natalie, I don't hook up!!' Well then that is a lie too since I've done that before. But I'm not that person anymore. Blind dates are so crazy to me but she is like, 'whatever if you let this one slip by' speech.. so I'm like fine fine I'll go!! but it depends if I can get out of my Political Science classes on time. So I have a huge day of schoolwork ahead of me. After Thursday I am so ready to party!! This semester is almost over ..Finally!!.. and I'm burning everything at the last day of school!! Ha. I'll have a School's Out Forever bonfire party!! Hey, that's actually not a bad idea. Hmm.. So I went to develope my pictures but then realized that I didn't use up all of my film so I will finish up the rest this Friday night and have my pictures up by this weekend!! We took some really bad ass ones so you guys have to wait and check em' out!! Well I better get to work. I have a test today, a presentation tomorrow, plus all this homework to do. Did I just say I'm going to do homework? Okay, I did. Let me put on my reading glasses now. See you guys later!! :: Updates: :: Thur 04/15: yesterday must have been the longest day ever!! i had so much homework to turn in for my Political Science classes that I didn't have any time to just kick back a relax. I must have had three Snicker bars because I was not going anywhere. I am so ready to freaking get trashed this weekend and I think my friends are ready for it too! I just want to forget that I spent over eight hours studying and typing up these damn research papers that don't even really count for my final grade. What the hell is up with that? Can finger tips get calices from typing so much? Damn you Gordon Rule!! but in better and non-school related news, We found tickets for our DC trip this summer!! Georgetown, DC, LaPlata, and all the other cities around it, here we come!! I'm so excited to go!! I have these new CD's that I just made to listen to while we're on the airplane. My stomach turns when I think about it. I don't like flying!! But whatever.. we are leaving for The Fourth Of July Weekend so I will be missing Leo's beach party this year!! :( it's Maryland though, and I to think, what better place to celebrate the Fourth Of July than being near the State Capital of the United States? I mean that is like the best fireworks show ever!! so I'm happy for that. I got new shirts for my New York City trip. I thought that I was going to mainly wear dress shirts while I'm there. I don't want to be walking around in just a t-shirt and jeans around The Hilton. What if I run into Paris Hilton herself? She would get mad and tell me to go back and change. So I'm going to pack light this time (psshht.. yeah right.. Ha!) and bring only the bear necessities. Meaning three to four suit cases. It's New York City, you need to bring a lot. I am so going to steal all of those Hilton towels and disposible shampoos. That is all mine!! Mwa ha ha!! well folks, I'm going to pay my car insurance, head off to the Post Office, and then I'm off to school to get my edumacation.. Later!! :: more Updates: :: when will these damn updates stop!! Ha. For real.. if I update anymore my computer will literally explode. :: well let me take a few moments to introduce myself :: the name is Arthur, and yes it is the whitest name a person can ever have next to John, Stewart, and Tom but i'm actually Filipino!! and yes, I will use food stamps if applicable. just kidding.. although we did use some back in the day cuz my friend Juan got some from his dad.. but that is just a whole nother story.. so anyway, i went home today and my mom wanted me to buy more paint at The Home Depot but I dread going over there hauling all this heavy ass piant around when the actual paint cans weighs more than I do!! geeze right!! I came home to look for food because there was none back at my place but there wasn't anything there either. I got hungry so I went to eat at McDonalds (by myself) and it was wierd because I never go anywhere by myself but it's just that all my friends work and i'm the only bastard who doesn't. Someone needs to pin a sign on me that says, 'Will Work For Money' ..and maybe rice in case I get hungry. So I'm eating there and i'm thinking about my crazy ass day and I realize that it's almost the weekend so halleluah to that, and yes i want to give all of my gaurdian angels, Jesus, and God a shout out because it's going to be a great year ahead of me and I have them to thank for it all. And I will come to pick up my MTV award trophy later. So i go and take care of my car insurance payment and the guy tells me, 'Payments wait here.' so i'm like okay and i wait. When it was my turn I asked the guy, 'wait.. but I also have a few questions.' He looks at me and points, 'You have questions? The question line is over there.' And i see this other line with like a million people waiting so I'm like, 'Well ain't that a bitch?' and I came about two seconds from slashing the dude's tires but I told him, 'ummm.. maybe i will come back later.' Have a nice day. That means a lot I guess in decimal points. Damn insurance guy. So since i was already there, I went over to the Tax Collector Agency to get my new stickers for my car. In the five years that I have been driving, I always wait to the very last day and part of my New Year's resolution this year was to make my payment on time.. so I did. I didn't wait that long either and I got my stickers for May 2005. Cops can't harrass me anymore (they never did before but I'm just making a point) and plus I'm renewing my car insurance this month too!! damn.. boy got his ish together. I'm ready to roll down my windows and listen to 'I don't want no scrubs..' jk.. I was a scrub many times in the late 90's. I was all up in my best friends ride trying to holler at people. I thought I was a thug too because I had Snoops Dogs new CD. Ha. I was a scrub. Ten years later i redeemed myself from scrub-ness and now I moved up to critter. Ha. anyway, I got a new tag and everything so now I am so fresh and so clean clean. Then, ..the afternoon doesn't end there.. I go and head off to school to speak with my councelor and she is telling me that I only need two more classes then I can get out of this biatch!! I told her that she was my hero and that if she wasn't the creepy councelor lady at school that i would hug her. So I left and went to a computer, e-mailed my girl Nicole about my next trip to Vegas, and now I'm here about to do the rest of my homework that is due for tonight's class. I am procastinating. I am doing something that takes up fourteen letters of the alphabet.. geeze!! So hope everyone has a great Thursday and holla back at your boy because I've got five on it.. ..pause.. ..and no i ain't talking about drugs fool.. I got five on that Happy Meal cuz you know my ass is always hungry. Later!!

Carrie's house party.. kegs r us
Sun 04/11: i knew it!! ha. i wore my Eat Italian shirt out last night and everyone loved it!! I told Jenn that I was going to count how many times that someone would make a comment about my shirt and they did. But lets rewind a bit to what had happened earlier. So we met up at Becky's and got ready over there. We were going to Carrie's keg party (which Carrie is a guy by the way) and he was having a ton of people over. We didn't know exactly which one was his apartment but we did look for people stading outside or listening for any loud music. We even ran into Erica Duci but she was just picking up a friend so then finally my Erica got a phone call from Carrie and told us to meet him in the center which was where we saw him. We had to walk through the sahara to get to this kids place. Me and Becky were like geeze, this is a lot of exercise just to get to beer. Ha. Then I get a page and it's Natalie and she is like, 'hey what are you doing tonight?' I'm like, 'Come out with us!! We're actually walking towards the keg party right now.' and she is like, 'Do you want to come with me, Virginia, Marialle, Gabe, and Josh to go see a movie?' Aww... I miss my Natalie and I love her so much you guys have no idea!! I'm like, 'Man, I so would go with you guys too but I'm already here but you guys have the best time ever and I will see you guys this week I promise!!' We're probably meeting this Wednesday for this Comedy thing and because she is dying to hook me up with one of her co-workers which I'm not too thrilled about because everytime I meet someone that I like I usually meet them on my own and not through introduction but she is like, 'But what if this one is the one and your letting it pass you by!!!' hahaha.. so I'm like, 'Fine dammit I'll go.' So we will see if there is a love connection like in those damn tv reality shows where people go on blind dates. Those shows are so funny. So we're walking up to this party and it looks like a lot of fun judging the people that were standing outside and also the people that were in the balchony. We walk upstairs and we see Carrie. Carrie is so cool too, he is like that guy from Sweet Home Alabama with the slight accent and everything. He introduces us to his friends and over in the kitchen I see the keg. Halleluyah!! Three.. Two.. One.. We have contact people!! They hand us cups and we start drinking away. You guys will not ever guess who we ran into at this keg party?? Pharrell!! okay, maybe not the actual Pharrell Williams, but the closest thing to him. We were like, 'OMG, that guy looks just like Pharrell!!' and Becky was like, 'OMG, I want to take a picture with him!!' and I wanted his autograph.. just kidding. But Becky did take a picture with him and it was so hilarious. The resemblence is amazing. I'll add the pictures on here once I get them developed. I might even do that today actually. So then we start mingling and we notice that there are a lot of tall ass people at this party. I felt like a midget standing next to some of these guys and I'm 5'10" which is like average right but some of these guys were off the chain being 6'8" and ish. I had to get a stepping stool to talk to some of these guys. One of the tall guys walks by and stops to read my shirt and goes, 'Hey! I like your shirt!!' I'm like, 'Thanks.' That is t-shirt comment number one for the night! So then these other guys busted out the beer bongs and Becky and Erica were like, 'We are so going to hit that!!' and so they did. And this is the funniest story ever too!! Listen to this ish.. so Becky and Erica have their beer bongs in their hands and is about to chug the beer down when all of the sudden, right when they start chugging away, Becky tilts her bong way too much and spills the beer all over her head!! OMG.. it was the funniest ish ever!! and yes we got pictures of that!! We could not stop laughing. I'm like, 'Becky you got more beer on your head than in your mouth!!' Ha. The guy behind her goes, 'Hey!! I like your shirt man!! That's bad ass!!' Okay, that is comment number two. As we were dancing on the dance floor which really was Carries living room this girl Britney comes up to us and has two little white things in her hands and we were like, 'What happened?' She was like, 'I chipped my tooth!!' What? Some girl had bumped into her while she was drinking a beer out of a beer bottle so cardinal rule for keg parties: Never drink out of a beer bottle because that might happen to you. That is why people should drink out of plastic cups because it is a lot safer than glass. Someone never sent her the rules of drinking memo. So this girl Britney was pissed and she was like, 'I make my money off my looks and now I look so trailer!!' and I wanted to keep my comments to myself because I was trying so hard to not go off on the girl because for two things.. for one, she does not need to advertise that she makes her money off of her looks because it makes her sound like a stripper and for two, she doesn't need to be talking down on trailer people because at least they are smart enough to know that drinking out of beer bottles around hundreds of people, it is likely for your tooth to get chipped. The girl left the party pissed and I felt bad for the girl but at least it was just two little pieces and not her whole tooth cuz she could have been a toothless idiot that night. Ha. One of Carrie's friends from a distance was calling me over so I went and he was like, 'That's a bad ass shirt dude!!' and I'm like 'Thanks!' I look over at Jenn and go, 'number three..' After a few beers I was actually starting to feel drunk which was wierd since I only had like three cups. It was getting late and Becky wantd to stop by Steve Ippolito's house to say hi to her brother Dan and all their friends so we went there for a while and came back to my house. Last night was fun!! it would have been funner if we could have went out to Brickyard for a bit but everyone was calling us thoughout the night telling us that they were just going to be staying home. Party poopers!! Well anyway, Happy Easter Everyone!! People be safe and spend time with your loved ones!! By the time you guys are done eating dinner tonight I should have my pictures back by then. Later!! Update: Sat 04/10: 8:27pm i just got back from Centro Ybor and i bought this bad ass belt from La France. i'll probably wear it out tonight. Then i found this shirt at Urban Outfitters that says, 'Everything is bigger in Texas!' but they didn't have it in my size. dammit. we also ate at the Fresh Mouth which used to be called The Big Mouth and had a few burgers there. again with me and the eating.. oink oink.. but we drove over to New Tampa to Maggie Moo's and I had some penut butter ice cream which if I lick my lips I can still taste some of the penut butter. Mmm.. it was so good. it was a really nice day out to do some shopping and now I gotta get ready to go with Erica to this party tonight. Manuel is going to be there too and i can't to laugh about last night. well see you guys later!! i should be back around 5am as always.. Later!! ps. -> my metabolism is way too high!! after like 300 cheese burgers, 4 plates of rice a day, steaks, chicken legs, Filipino foods, ice cream, potato chips, more rice, soy sauce, lumpia, french fries, chocolate shakes, Hungry Man microwavable dinners, and pasta, i still weight only 130lbs!! I am officially a Somalian. <-
shopping spree
Sat 04/10: so me and my girl Nicole took over International on Saturday so all the proceeds go towards our closets. Ha. We had so much fun visiting all of our favorite shops. So I met Nicole at Neimans and she was showing me the purses that she likes and they were so P.I.M.P.!! We got some coffee at Starbucks then headed off through the mall. One of the first stores that we stopped by at was Hollister and Co. They have these shirts that I've been wanting to get and I got my humor tees. If you read my entries of when I went out this past Easter Weekend you'll see that I got tons of compliments. I guess humor tees are in now. and if they aren't we will make them a trend. Nicole and I both got the Eat Italian shirts from Abercrombie and Fitch. That shirt I have to say is one of my new favorites because it just stands out when your out at a party. We even bought some A&F wrist bands which are so cute and I got one that has an A and Nicole got the one with a four leaf clover. How lucky were we? Very since we also found some more gear at Aldo. Nicole was looking at shoes and I showed her this purse that opens from the side. It's so freaking bomb and she is like, 'Okay, I am so going to buy this!!' It's such a bad ass purse too!! We were also looking at the rings at Aldo and I got the one with the cats eyes. It's a silver three ring set which also people complimented me on when I went out this weekend. We didn't really find much at AE though but I did buy a short sleeve buttoned shirt and some cortoroy sandals. I wore them last night and damn my feet were killing me. The one price you have to pay with brand new shoes is the time when you have to break into them. I felt like taking them off but I had to keep telling myself, 'Only three more days and I will break into these damn sandals.' Nicole took me to this really cool steakery at the food court which I have never been to and we got some steak sandwiches. They were really good too!! Nicole was telling me that they have one in Ohio and that is how she knew about it. I want to go back this week and try their other sandwiches. She also wants me to go with her to The Bamboo Club which I have never been to either and it looks like it would be a lot of fun. I can't wait. So we made out last stops and I got my neices their gifts at The Sanrio store and then stopped by Guess, Arden B, XXI, then back to Neimans. Nicole showed me the dress that she bought and even the lady that worked there said that it was gorgeous. I'm like 'Nicole, this dress is really bad ass!!' Nicole was like, 'We better leave before I buy everything here' we've already spent like three hours at the mall and it was time to call it a day so we went back downstairs where we looked at Nicole's purses one last time and sighed. That place is so freaking addicting. It's like Florida No Fault and you just want to say 'Yes' to everything. We had such a great time at International and were going to pay them a visit once they get in new merchandise. Nicole knows trendy and she is just the cutest. She reminds me of that Jessica Simpson song where it says, 'Nothing but a t-shirt on' because even in just a t-shirt and jeans, it doesn't take much for her to look so beautiful. It's all natural. It's couture. It's Juicy Couture to be precise and Nicole makes it hott.. and what!! Final Destination 2 so you guys won't even believe what happend to me after a perfect day at the mall. Everything was fine and dandy, I mean the birds were chriping, the sun was out, Janet Jackson was keeping her privates to herself, what can go wrong? well when you think that everything is perfect in this world, a log comes tumbling your way. Let me begin to explain. Right as I hopped on 275, everything changed. So I'm leaving the mall and heading back home and I'm listening to this new CD that I just made and I'm not really paying much attention to the road. I've driven down this interstate several times that it's like nothing to me. As I'm driving I notice that two cars ahead of me a car swirves to the left. I'm thinking to myself, 'Geeze dude learn how to drive.' When then the car right in front of me hits something on the road, and I'm thinking, dammit, whatever is on this road it's going to come after me next. We're all driving 75 miles per hour and I'm right behind this car. So then I see what it is and it's this huge ass log which must have came from one of the big trucks up ahead and so I have like 2.5 seconds to react so I just ran it over. I felt my car jump and at that moment my heart is racing and I'm like, that was a close call. My back tire hits the log and it bumps it up to the air hitting the car behind me and smashing into it's right side windshield. It was like a ripple effect and who knows how many more people that damn log hit. So I'm driving right and I slow down. None of the cars were slowing down so I was like, 'Okay whatever.' What do you do in a situation like that? It's not your falut because it was an object on the road. So I drove back to my house to walk the dogs and I keep thinking, 'Damn I was so lucky that it didn't do anything to my car.' So then I call up Erica and I leave my house to pick her up. I'm driving down County Line Road and not even ten minutes my car starts acting funny. It feels like I'm driving on gravel and again I'm thinking to myself, 'Geeze, this road is so ghetto and these people need to fix it.' But then I realize that it's not the road that was ghetto but it was actually my car!! So I'm like great!! Now what? So I pull over to the side and I get out of my car. I look at my back tire and the entire tire is blown out. I am standing there like, what in the hell do I do now? Never in my life I have ever experienced anything like this. I have never broken down on the side of the road like this. I knew that I had a spare in my trunk but I don't know anything about cars or chaging tires so I looked around and there was nothing but two long ass streets that leaded to nowhere land. Then it was starting to get dark, I was alone, and the mosquitos were coming out. Why don't we just throw an anvil over my head while were at it? So not even two minutes of me walking down the strip a car pulls over to the side of the road and I'm like, 'Halleluah!! someone is actually going to help me!!' Talk about miracles and God always seems to help me at times like these. The person gets out of their car and it's my friend Lindsay from high school!! I'm like, 'OMG, what in the world??' I haven't seen this girl in forever and we loved each other back in high school. She was like, 'Arthur!! What are you doing?' I'm looking at her like, 'where is Ashton Kutcher and am I getting Punked?' because for real, she came out of thin air. So she is like, 'Do you want to use my phone?' And I'm like, 'yes, yes please!!' We started talking about how crazy the situation was. So I call up Erica and I tell her what happened so she calls up Jenn and Megan and they are at the Super Target right there which was only like 5 minutes away from where I was at. Now how freaky is this story? Everything was like falling in my lap. Literally. Things went from bad to 'I can't believe how easy everything is when your car breaks down.' I was so lucky. So Lindsay was like, 'I saw you while I was driving by and so I pulled over.' What are the freaking odds right? And so I said thank you to her about a million times and then I told her that I was going to be okay. We exchanged numbers and she left. I love that girl and she saved the day. So I'm standing there and I see another car pull over to the side and it's my girls!! I'm like, 'Jenn, Megan!! I'm so glad to see you guys!!' They were both laughing and saying, 'I can't believe this is happening' and I'm like, 'I knowwwww!!' so we look at the tire and thought, okay forget this!! Ha! so we just left my car there and went to Super Target and went shopping. I wasn't going to let that ruin my day because we were all going out to Tias that night. Plus we were going to have dinner at Jenn's moms so we bought crab legs at the grocery store. I finally got an electronic toothbrush and also that new Colgate blasts with new flavors. I don't know but I tried it out yesterday and today and I love it!! So to make a long story short, I was so fortunate to be saved because who knows how long that would have taken and all the miles I probably would have walked. I am so thankful for my friends and for God for always being there and helping me out because we all know that I have no idea how to change a tire or even begin to operate the jack so I let my brother do all that work the next day. So that was my 275 adventure and I hope to never see another log for as long as I live. Unless it's a log cabin somewhere in the mountains and were inside it drinking hot cocoa.
Tia's: get ready to get tipsy
[ my best friends: Manuel and Jenn ]
pictures coming soon..
Tias.. nuff said..
Fri 04/whatever: i am so drunk!! it's official.. I had way too much to drink. Virginia's drink and the drinks before that. Man. So okay, what happened tonight? For real. so much happened. it's so freaking crazy you don't even understand.. and it won't make sense right now because I am so drunk.. did i already meantion that? okay.. well Erica, Jenn, and Becky are over so we are going to watch MTV and i will see you guys tomorrow.. it's 3:48am.. The End.. :: alright :: my rings won't come off my fingers and i'm still too drunk to figure out some McGiever ish to get them off!! i'm just going to keep them on. so you guys won't even believe my night out last night!! if i can stress 'off the chain' in the sentence well then let me use it in this context right now. Last night was Off The Chain. I think that justifies it all. where do I even begin? Now i'm going to have to pull up some flashbacks up in this entry because I can only start off with right as we showed up at Tias and then I'll go back to what had happened earlier. So we got to Tia's so freaking late and there was still a long ass line outside the front. I didn't really feel like waiting in a long ass line we walked right into the front of that biatch. Becky had to use Erica's ID because Becky couldn't find her ID so she had to wait outside while we went in first. I was really excited because Natalie had left me a message on my pager that she was going to be able to make it tonight and that Virginia was also going to be there with Gabe!! Then my best friend Amanda was going to show up too and she finally called me at the last minute and said, 'alright.. I'll be there soon!!' so it was set. i don't even walk five feet into the door and already i hear my name being called out from the crowd. There was so many people there that it was impossible to figure out who was calling out my name. I didn't feel like playing Where's Waldo right now. So Erica hands me the ID and says 'Give this to Becky..' Dammit!! I have to actually go back outside? So I go back outside and hand it to Becky. the next time around to the bar after walking passed like a million and a half people I see Serena and she is like, 'OMG Arthur!! I love you so much!!' and I'm like 'Aww.. I love you too!!' and she is like, 'No, I really.. I love you!!' Then Taylor turns around and she is like, 'OMG Arthur!!!' So then I gave my girls such a huge hug!! I haven't seen her in like two months. It felt like two years. Taylor is like, 'Come up here and take my spot.. you can order drinks faster this way.' So I ask the bartender, 'Hey, I want a Long Island Iced Tea.' and he looks at me, 'that's a pretty strong drink.' and I'm like, 'Well I want to get f-ed up tonight!!' then he's like, 'Alright, I'll add a lot of liquor to your drink!!' I'm like, thanks man!! I really needed it. I had so many people come up to me and say, 'I really really like your shirt!!' Thanks. I had just bought this shirt from Hollister that says, 'Modeling is for posers..' which I thought was funny since most of my friends are models or look like models so it was kind of an inside joke. I couldn't go 30 minutes without someone making a comment about my shirt. Then after like 40 comments later I'm like okay, 'I'm taking my shirt off now..' I went outside and I see my buddy Manuel. And he's like, 'Arthur!! What's up bro?? Come over here!!' As I'm getting closer I see that there's three guys holding him up and I'm thinking, geeze, what now? So I'm looking at his face and I'm like, 'Manuel you are so drunk!!' Ha. Then he is like, 'These guys are saying that I'm too drunk and that I should go home but I want to stay.' So these guys were trying to carry him out and he's like, 'Arthur, save me please. I don't want to go.. you were supposed to be here with me four hours ago..' Then I looked at one of the guys and I'm like, 'why do you want him to leave so bad?' and the guy tells me that they have to hold Manuel up because he keeps falling down. So then for him to stay at Tia's, pretty much he needed a comeone to stay with him. So then Manuel puts his arms over my shoulders and goes, 'Let's have some drinks.. I'll buy us rounds of shots.' And I'm like, 'You are not drinking anymore and your definately not taking anymore shots!!' Then Matt comes up and he's like, 'What's up Arthur!! Come hang out with us man!!' and I ask him, 'how much did Manuel have to drink?' And he is like, 'A lot. Arthur he just whipped out his dick and pee'd at the bar.' I'm like, 'what??' And Matt was like, 'Yeah he is so drunk!!' So then why isn't anyone helping him? omg.. are you freaking kidding me? So then I finally see Jenn, Erica, and Becky and I'm like, 'Hey! Come over here!!' calling them to come but it was impossible to get through anywhere because of all the people. Then all of the sudden when I was calling Jenn I lost my grip on Manuel and he fell over. It was so hilarious!! I mean I felt bad but he was laughing the whole time so it made me laugh. I had a drunk person on my shoulders and Matt was getting more beer. great!! I look at Matt and give him the evil eye like your not helping any. so then one of Manuel's friends came and carried him outside because he was way too drunk to be walking around. I mean Manuel was gone!! we were still laughing about it this morning. Becky and Jenn stayed the night and we were bringing up different scenes from last night because there were so many and it was so hilarious!! So as this guy is carrying him out and we look at Manuel and he is still smiling. Ha!! He is off the heezey. I go back to where I was at and Jenn and Erica were pointing their fingers at the line outside and I start laughing because I thought that they were pointing out this one girl who wore this outfit that was way too small for her but then they were like, 'noooo..' and I looked over again and they were pointing at Natalie. Ohhhhh.. ok. Ha. I hug Natalie and told her that she was my best friend and that it wasn't the alcohol talking and then we walk right in front because I told her, 'just sneak in through the side. Don't pay for that ish!! Use that money for drinks!!' I'm always thinking about the alcohol. So we run inside laughing hysterically and then Virginia and Gabe show up. I could not let go of Virginia because she goes to UCF for college and I never see her anymore. So she is like, 'OMG Arthur I am buying you a drink!!' I'm like, 'Baby!! I love you!!' she asks me what I wanted to drink and I told her to surprise me. So then she walks back with my drink and she is like, 'It's Sex On The Beach.' Awesome. i haven't had that drink in a long time so I started drinking. People were coming up to me to say hi and then be like 'taste my drink..' and I'm like 'no thanks..' but people take offense to that so I had to drink so much of other peoples liqour. I was starting to get wasted. Then Amanda finally shows up and she is like, 'OMG Arthur, this place is crazy!!' I know!! How many people were there last night?? So we're trying to find seats and Steve and Paul come up to say hi. We could not get anywhere because there was so much human traffic and also tons of walk by shout outs that I could not get from destination A to destination B. Then Jenn is like, 'Hey it's Manuel.' I'm like, what?? where? what?? How in the world did he get back in here? and guess where Manuel was? He was sitting by the bar trying to get more drinks. omg.. I go over there and he is like, 'Arthur!! round of drinks, round of drinks.. my treat..' and you just have to picture him being completely plastered and I tell him, 'No more freaking drinks Manuel!! I'm serious.' Why isn't Matt helping me? Then Matt is right next to him and these girls are trying to cut through to buy drinks but Matt wouldn't move for anything. I think they were all gone last night to tell you the truth so I had to keep explaining to people that they were drunk and to go around them. Jenn comes up to me and is like, 'Let's go to the dancefloor' but no one was really dancing. It was too packed to dance, think, or even breathe. I just had my drink in my hand and I must have spilt that ish on so many people and I must have said, 'I'm so sorry' and 'excuse me' like a million times last night. It was so freaking crazy and to think that we arrived there so late and that the night would still be off the chain. People were also wanting to talk and on a serious level and I'm like 'dude, you are ruining my buzz.' Some people drink and they start talking about life and all I want to do is party. It was thirty minutes till closing and I saw so many people who I haven't seen in ages. One girl goes, 'Hey!! Your in my History class..' and I took History like two semesters ago. People were drunk and everyone was having a good time. I was ready to leave though because I was getting so drunk that even the knock knock who's there jokes would have sounded funny. Amanda grabbed me and goes, 'Don't lose me.' and I see Jenn saying, 'Hey we're leaving..' no one wanted me to leave at the bar so then Natalie gives me a kiss on the cheek and says, 'Go out with me Wednesday night.' She wanted to introduce me to one of her co-workers. She is so cute!! Too bad Josh couldn't come out. He owes us one big time!! He needs to party with us soon. So much more happened this night but you know how it is.. you can only write about so much because I'm trying to remember the rest and I'm sure it will all come to me as the day goes on. But we all had such a great time last night I can't imagine re-living some of those moments.
pictures coming soon..

LeRoy Selmons
Wed 04/07: I met up with Megan and Jenn at LeRoy Selmons tonight and I went to go fill out an application at Pier One Imports before I went there. They have tons of new furniture in and how much fun would it be to get a job there and get all the discounts and also get paid for it? Speaking of payments, I have my appointment this weekend with my eye doctor and we are going to pick out my new frames together. I told him that I wanted to go with thinner frames but my friend Elly in Texas told me that I should go with brown insted of black because it would look better with the color of my skin. I have no idea what to choose I just know that I'll pay the extra cash to pick out nicect frames. I get tired of frames easily so I might go with contacts my Senior year at USF. I just can't imagine how differnt I'm going to look once I get my invisilines put in and also with my contacts? I'm getting them put in now because I don't want to have braces at the age of thirty. I like these new braces because you can take them out whenever you want and plus they straighten your teeth so much faster than the metal ones. But I'm definately going to get new frames if not contacts. I'm really going to miss these Guess frames that I have now but I thought that I'd sell it on eBay!! and also just a reminder, I you guys like any of my stuff I have on my site, some stuff is on sale right now and just e-mail me and I'll send you my account number so that you can start bidding on some of these items. I have so many cool furniture and bad ass jackets for sale. I already sold four items this past week!! Melissa I need your help on this eBay stuff!! I'm going to call you this week and I better not get your voicemail either!! She is always on the go in Cali and since she moved there she is always eating at the coolest places and meeting all kinds of celebs. Don't forget that you are a Tampa native!! But I miss Cali so much!! California is just another world. People here have no idea. Right? Also tonight we watched the American Idol and that girl finally went home. My sister is so cute because when I first got here she had bought all my food for this weekend because I am house sitting!! I mean the girl went all out. She got me Doritos, Lays Potato Chips, Gatorade, Campbell Soup, Hungry Man Microwavable Dinners, Stouffers, and the rest are in the pantry because I didn't have a chance to glance at everything BUT I do remember that she also got me Drumstick Icecream Cones!! and those cones are so good!! MMMmmm.. I feel like such an oinker talking about all this food. I need to stop. So I'm going shopping this week and I already have a long checklist. I even have shopping partners for each day. I'm planning to hit up all the malls, vintage shops, and also all the outlets!! I called up my buddy Manuel tonight and we were talking about this new workout plan he has set up for me and I started laughing because that's the title to one of Kanye West's songs on his new album. I told him, 'that's so funny' and he didn't get it. Manuel is so country geeze!! I'm going to have a ball tomorrow night at The Dallas Bull. How country can country get? Cliff is going to come out with us and I'm going to make sure that he teaches me and Erica how to line dance. I get out of class so late tomorrow night that they want me to wear what I'm going to wear to The Dallas Bull to class. I'm like no freaking way!! I don't like wearing cut up jeans to school. And I'm leaving my cowboy hat in the car. It's just so funny!! They call me Big Art too so I'll fit right in with the Yee Haws and the spitting into the buckets. Ha. I can't wait!! So Manuel has this workout plan for me and it consits of a strict diet and I asked him so what do I eat? He said, 'Eat everything in site!!' but I already do!! People do not believe me when I say that I eat at least five times a day and that includes tons of carbs and meats. I'll go to theme parks and say, 'Where is the nearest food stand?' I'm constantly eating. I'm really a fat person inside. Inside I am Ruben Studdard of the American Idol. I go to McDonalds and say, 'Can you Super super size that meal?' And I even get X-tra Medium T-shirts. just kidding.. But look at Melissa. She weights about ninety-five pounds. When she did Battle of The Sexes last year she showed all of them up by winning the very first competition with Amaya. Skinny people can be athletic, although I would rather use the elevator instead of the stairs at times. I think some Filipino's just have a really high motabolism. I mean when I was a kid I was a bit chunky monkey but then I lost all the weight. I looked like the poster child of those Save The Children kids. I'm surprised that people weren't mistaking me for those kids. It's like, 'Here you go son, here is a dollar.' I'm like 'for what?' and they are like, 'for food..' Ha. So Manuel is going to make a list of protein shakes for me to buy and also teach me how to lift weights properly. I'm actually skurred at the moment at the fact that I will be lifting objects heavier than me but Manuel told me that he was my size when he first started working out so I told him that I'd give this workout plan a chance. But then I turned around and said to him, 'Can't I just skip all the exercises and go on a Subway diet instead?'
let's all say it together: atm
Mon 04/05: finally, finally i'm getting my money. when j-lo sang about how hard it is to cash checks, i finally feel the girl. I'm getting three checks in the next three months and two should be coming in this week!! i direct deposited those bitches to my bank account and so I will be spending it real soon!! so i'm already making a list of things to buy.. BUT first things first!! my best friend Amanda paid a visit to my house today. I came home and my brother told me that Amanda came by to see me. And I go, 'did she look really hott?' and my brother was like, 'She was really hott and drove a BMW..' so it was my best friend Amanda Blackman who I haven't seen in like six months!! I haven't heard from her in so long because the last time I spoke to her she was moving to Michigan to go to Michigan State University for art. The girl can paint, there is no doubt about it. She has Pablo Picasso running for his money. I actually have one of her originals up on my wall. So she's back and when she u-turned and came back to see me we both could not stop freaking out. My neighbor probably thought that we were having a seizure but no, it's just a lot of excitement and adrenaline that had been building up because I haven't seen her in so long and I've missed her so much!! So now she's back and she will be partying with me again!! I'm so excited!! Everything is so perfect in my life right now that I can take a photo of it and write 'Kodak Moment' underneath it. So I'm planning to buy new frames which I already have been scoping out at SEE which is this really cool and trendy eye glass place in International and I found these small frames that look so pimp. They are just like the ones I have now but only thinner. It was either that or I get contacts and I'm waiting till I get older to get those. By then I'll have enough money to get that lazor eye surgery. It's only been around for a couple of years and I want to make sure that their aren't any side affects. I mean do you remember Phen Phen? A lot of people took those diet pills and now they look like those Save The Children kids on CNN. I'm also going to buy the rest of my shirts for summer because I know that it will get hott in herre with 95 degree weather so vintage tee's are in. Plus I need to save up for my trip to New York which is right around the corner!! I can't wait to see MACY's and TRL and the city!! I will be taking a million and a half pictures while I'm their and yes, I will be stealing the towels at my stay at the Hilton. I'm going to take everything home with me down to the minurature soaps and shampoo bottles. I can't wait to see the fake Prada and Louis Vuitton purses there and eat huge slices of pizza, fight the giant rats in the subway, and ride though Central Park on a horse. My New York trip is going to be so much fun!! but in the meantime, I need to finish up the rest of my classes so that I can graduate already. Being at a Community College student for thirteen years is not cute. I'm a professional student now. That's what I tell people when they ask me if I work. I'm like, 'what? work? what's that?' But I will be working part time mainly to shut people up and do something good for society. Isn't donating clothes to the Salvation Army good enough? Plus I recycle too which makes me environmentally helpful!! Collecting cans and bottles and placing them in that little green container each week isn't easy you know. Sometimes I feel like throwing that ish in the damn trashcan. Well I'm about to go and finish up the rest of my paper now. I have like three exams next week and a research paper. Can I skip class now? After this semester I'm going to sell all my books back and buy a huge keg and get so drunk that I will never think about school again. That sounds like a good plan to me. And I shall call it, '~Schools out forever 101~'.. Later folks!
last call for alcohol
Sat 04/03: tonight's agenda: Bobby's house party.. pre-party at Sherry's..
Sun 04/04: i'm getting ready at my house and I call up Jenn, 'Are we still meeting at 7pm?' She's like, 'No.. we're running late.. be there around 8:30pm.' K.. so I took a shower, got dressed and headed over to Sherry's. It was actually cold out so I really didn't know what to wear. When I asked Jenn what she was wearing, she said that she's going to wear this new shirt that she just bought the night before. So I didn't want to bring a jacket because the last time I brought a jacket, when I was dancing with the girls I got so hot that I literally threw my jacket over this ceiling lamp and just left it there to chill. so I wore my long sleeve Milan shirt from Armani (the one i got from Vegas) and rolled up my sleeves. I was just going to deal with the cold weather. I get to Sherry's and she comes out looking so damn fine!! I'm like, 'Damn Sherry, you are so fine!!' She just got her hair did a few days ago and she looks so 'sexy sexy'. She's like, 'the wine is in the freezer if you want some.' So I head to the kitchen and I'm looking at her counter and I see all this USF stuff and I go, 'hey, what are all these cards for?' And she's like, 'Oh, those are my invitations for my graduation!! I'm going to fill them out this week and send them out.. there's one there for you too.' I gave Sherry such a huge hug and told her how happy I was for her!! My baby is finally graduating and in one of the most prestigious degrees too!! She is graduating in Psychology and that's not all either.. the girl is graduating USF in honors and has an accumilative GPA of a 3.8!! And that isn't even counting this last semester (which she is about to make another 4.0) so that will bring up her 3.8!! I told her, 'You know I can't even begin to explain about how proud I am of you!! You party all the time, look fine, make good grades, go to college full time and work, and your game is tight!!' How does she do it? Sherry is amazing!! I love her so much!! She was like, 'Awww.. Arthur I love you so much!! and we're going to have so much fun at my after party!!' and an amen to that!! We've already started to plan everything out and we will have more updates to come soon!! I'm so excited because it's her graduation party, then my birthday party the week after that, then Sherry's birthday party the week after that. So it's like party month this up-coming May!! I can't wait!! so then finally Jenn, Megan, and Erica showed up and everyone looked so good!! Megan was wearing the shirt that my sister gave her and it fit her like a glove. We took pictures too so I'll have those up by next week. So the next thing on our list was to hit up ABC liquor to buy another bottle of wine. This part is so hilarious. So we all drive there and Sherry is like, 'pull up to the side.. we can buy it through the drive-thru.' Damn.. liquor stores got drive-thrus now? This place was off the chain. So I drive around and I'm like k.. maybe its on the side. We pull up and we see nothing but a huge brick wall. We were all dying laughing. They must have closed it recently because Sherry remembers it having a drive thru. So we had to actually get out of the car and go inside the old school way and I got a bottle of Parrot Bay because wine doesn't really do much for me unless I have like three glasses of it. I wanted to get krunk the fast way and that is with liquor. So here is the re-cap on last night: A lot happened and I'm not about to get into too much detail about it so here is the breakdown: Meet at Sherry's, Bobby's place at USF, Tampa Brickyard with Erica, The Greenery with Aaron and his buddies, Wes's house with the crew, Abercrombie keg party, and then back to The HoneyComb Hideout. I didn't get home till 2am and I passed out. I was setting my TV on timer and that was the last thing I can remember. There are a ton of events coming up and I'll you guys posted.. I should have everything planned out by the end of this week!! Later!!
don't forget to set your clocks an hour forward!! i be forgetting!!
spring break fun in the sun all season long..
yardsale
three for a dollar ..yardsale this Saturday!! cute vintage furniture for sale!!
Sat 04/03: i had a blast today at our yardsale. I guess is was a garage sale but I didn't get the jist of it being called that since it was on our yard and not inside our garage. When I started explaining it to people, the concept just started to get confusing so let's just call it a yardsale and still to that. K.. so I am so surprised at how much I actually sold and I didn't even think that people would buy my old strobe lights and old picture frames. I told people that were scrolling through my stuff that most of it was literally brand new in the sense that it was un-used and never even opened in some cases. I explained to them about my obsession to use my ATM back in 2002.. Thus my outcome of over populated accessories. So after taking everything out of my room, I pulled a little TLC's While You Were Out and re-did my entire room at my mom's house. I re-painted all the walls with Light Linen and then got rid of my old blinds and replaced them with curtains. Then I got rid of my old floor mats from Urban Outfitters and put in new ones that matched the color scheme of my walls. My room finally fits the whole Feng-shui phenomenon. I layed down on my bed last night when everthing was said and done and started sceaming 'I don't have to be ghetto anymore!!' I had so much stuff and didn't realize how much junk I've accumilated over the years. The hardest portion was taking my bed apart and replacing it with this new single bed that came with built in drawers. I liked it because it also came with shelves. I love the fact that I can store stuff now underneath my bed versus trying to put everything into this small cabinet that sits in the corner of my room. I have a million photo albums too and I have no idea where to put half my things anymore so the whole yardsale came in handy. My sister and I were laughing because I told her that if we had a table that had 'Three for a dollar', why not re-word it and put 'One for a dollar and get two for Free!!' You have no idea how people go crazy when they see the word 'FREE'. It's almost as bad as saying 'No more late fee's at Blockbuster!!' Everybody would be up in that biatch. When people see free gift, you just have to buy it. It works everytime. It triggers something in a persons mind that just makes them want to have it even more. It is the reverse psychology minus the reverse. So we sat there for about four hours while we saw families, couples, and even grandparents coming by to see what we had. Jason and Ria stopped by to say hello and my other sister got us take-out. We were eating while we were helping customers. It was so hilarious. 'You Gotta Eat' though like Checkers. I had to put my spoon down though when this family came up to look at my sister's stuff. She was also looking at my glass case and she put it back down. She paid for the other things but was hesitating to buy the case. The damn case was only for 25 cent so when she was walking back to her car, I'm like, 'Ma'am.. you can take that case if you want.. i'll give it to you for free.' Just take it. Or like Kanye West would say it, 'it's Free-ninety nine'. Ha. I just wanted to get rid of everything. We actually sold a lot and came out with some cash. It was a perfect day for a yardsale and sun was out and everything. My sister Elly and I looked at each other and thought, 'Let's go to the pool!!' So we layed out for about an hour and now I am so ready for tonight!! Erica's friends are having a house party and we are all going all out for it. I'm still getting over my four hour sleep from last night because we got home so late.. and I will have the re-cap on last night in a few. We had so much fun at Tia's!! You have no idea. :: hold up.. Jenn, Erica, and Megan just got here.. be right back.. :: Okay, ha.. how funny. They just stopped by to get a few shirts from my sister. Awww.. I guess we're meeting at Sherry's tonight. They were just telling me that she's going to get us a bottle of wine. Which reminds me, I need to stop by the liquor store. I better start getting ready. I still need to take a shower. I've been out in the sun all day and I only have this tan to show for it. I'll see you guys later!! and check back for the re-cap on last night at Tia's. and as always.. pictures coming soon..
Tia's Tex Mex revisited
Fri 04/02: so I don't even remember what happened before we arrived at Tia's because it took me forever to go back and write this damn entry. so I will start off with our arrival. We got a table inside Tia's because I remember it being colder than a bih outside so we found the first available seats by the window. We were waiting for several of our friends to get there. Erica and I went to the bar with Megan and got some drinks and brought it back to our table. Matt and Manuel arrive and they go and sit outside. Wes was keeping us company and we kept joking around and asking him what the drink specials were. (Wes used to work there).. so we made room for him and Charlie at our table. I kept calling Steve and asking him what time he was going to get there because the place was getting so packed and it's hard to find people when you have hundreds of college students running around. Then Megan reaches over for my arm and is telling me that Manuel was calling me from outside so I was like, 'I'll be back.' I sit with Matt and Manuel and I'm like, 'it's so cold out here, why don't you guys go inside with us?' But then they had a group out there so I guess it would be hard to fit twenty people at one table. Manuel's like, 'What's up man? I told you that we were going to hang out tonight.' But I didn't like the fact that everyone was split up. I wanted everyone to be together. So then I go inside to use Jenn's cell and her phone starts to go off. It's Cliff. I'm like, 'Hey, what's up? Are you here yet?' He's like, 'Yeah I'm coming up right now..' So then Cliff arrives and now we have most of our group. I was still keeping an eye out for Natalie, Josh, and John. I talked to them earlier and they said that they would meet me up there. Then Jenn pointed out this girl who was wearing the shirt that she was going to buy: 'It was fun while it lasted' t-shirt and I'm like, 'thank goodness that you didn't wear that out tonight or else you'd have a twin.' Ha. Manuel was telling me that he is trying to quit drinking, and I asked him, 'why?' He was telling me that he got so drunk when he went away last weekend and got so drunk that he didn't remember what happened? I'm like, 'Manuel, that's a good sign. It means that you had fun!!' And then I notice that he has a drink in his hand and I'm like, 'uh huh.. what's that then?' He looks at me and goes, 'Well after tonight I'm going to quit,' Hahaha.. yeah right!! Then they kept playing our songs inside the dance area and me, Erica, Jenn, and Megan started dancing. Cliff just watched. Poor Cliff. He is more into the country folk-line dancing stuff and into the drinking beer and attending keg parties. Megan and I kept reinacting the video scene from Usher's 'Yeah' when the song came on. It was so hilarious because I kept wrapping my legs across her legs. We were tearing up the dance floors. It was so much fun!! And everybody in da club was getting tipsy. Literally. Like for instance, this one girl in front of us was dancing so hard that one of her boobs came out of her shirt. I'm like, 'Is that a boob right there?' And she looked like she would have not even noticed it unless someone pointed it out to her. And pointing fingers does not count when people are drunk. You have to actually go up to her and place her boob back into her shirt and say, 'I just did society a favor.' I guess she was giving us a little 'Mardi Gras shout-out'. Seriously. Get the support that you need. You might knock someone out with them. People were off the chain. This one girl spilt her drink on Jenn and Jenn looked at her and was like, 'Don't spill you drink on me again. That's twice now tonight. The first one was free but your going to pay for the second one!!' and Jenn doesn't take Visa or Mastercard either. We even had to sit outside to cool off because it was like crossing Egypt in there and Bill kept saying, 'people are sweating all over the place!!' Manuel kept asking me if I could hold his drink and I'm like, 'I might lose it!!' He was like, 'comon.. please..' so I held it for like three minutes and then I pretended to tie my shoe and I go, 'Hey Jenn, can you hold this for me while I tie my shoe?' She's like, 'sure..' Then I'm like, 'Ha! ..Sike!!' by that time Manuel already came back and Jenn gave him back his drink. We had such a great time and we took pictures so I will post them on here once I get my film developed. I can't wait to go back there next week!! Tia's is off the chain especially when show up with fifteen heads and all fifteen are my close friends. Well that was the re-cap on our night.. Good food, good friends, good times.. Later!
[ the infamous beer bong bed.. ]
everything must go
Thur 04/01: and no i'm not talking about Rooms To Go either. I'm talking about my yardsale!! We're having our yardsale extraveganza this weekend!! And it came at such a perfect time too because we're painting my mom's house and I've taken out everything in my room.. (which took me two and a half days to do) and so i found tons of neat things to sell!! My sister calls it junk and told her that it was valuable and she also told me to get rid of everything because half the things I owned i didn't need, and I almost passed out because she even wanted me to get rid of my old golf clubs and this Indian Rain Stick that whenever you tilt it to the side it makes a rain noise. Then she even insisted that I get rid of all my old comic books and i go, 'No no. Not my SpiderMan issue 249!!' And she nodded her head yes.. she wants it all to sell. I've collected over 300 comic books over the years, since I was seven. I didn't know what OPP meant at that age. I can't believe that i might be selling my uncanny X-Men issues along with my SpiderMan series. I think i will have to cover my eyes while my sister takes some of these things away to her house. My other sister Elly is coming over tomorrow to help make posters and price tags. That should be fun!! I found my old Gizmo (which still works) and he talks and moves his eyes. One time I thought it was possessed because it would start talking on it's own but then i found out that it was because the damn thing was running out of batteries. I almost had a heart attack!! I'm also selling my old jeans (which I wore only like two or three times) and I'm selling some of my Abercrombie and Fitch necklaces and bracelets. It's so sad but I know that it will all be for a good cause. I can see myself right now fighting with the customers and telling them, 'Umm.. how you want for that?' I have to look away and just say, 'I'm trying to get rid of most of my assetts.' The hardships i go through with yardsales. I just don't understand. All the ladies if you feel me help me sing it out.
Coyote Tribune
updates: Wed 03/31: i haven't been on here in a while and i have a few minutes to kill before i get ready to study for my mid-term. i stayed up till 2am last night finishing up Mr Bertalan's study guide and i didn't realize how much there is to learn in Chapters 2-8 in Polital Science. Like for starters, i learned that it's not even a Science class.. and for two, I learned that The Electorial College isn't even a real college.. Hahahha.. I'm kidding.. I aced all of my history classes in high school. but American States and Cities.. can we fall asleep now? Let's all get camping bags at Target and take a nap outside. At least then we can get a tan while napping. See, I like visiting and partying in different cities, I can really care less about it's private secors and policies. When your in Miami do people even think about the direction in bureaucracy? No.. people worry about how they are going to fit three kegs in the back of my Corolla. So anyway, last night I had dinner with Sherry and Jenn. Sherry just got her hair did and she looks so damn sexy sexy.. and Jay-Z and Pharrell can agree with me on that one. I first ordered their soup but when our waitress brought it out it looked more like mashed potatos than it did soup. So I was like, 'Ewww.. someone please tell me that this isn't the soup that i ordered..' So I got the chicken fingers and fries instead. Sherry was big ballin with the wine and if I got my damn tax-return I would have been big ballin too. But the damn Feds take forever mailing checks out. Maybe if I read chapter three in my Political Science book there might be something I can do to fight this.. hmmm.. hahhahhaha.. I'm house sitting next weekend so I'm going to have a few friends over. I want to get a few bottles of liquor and get tore up but I also don't want to throw a party or anything. Just a small get together with my friends but then again I saw this one episode of Saved By The Bell and Zack invited a few friends over his crib and then like 50 heads showed up. I don't plan on doing that. Well I have to study now for my test. Wish me luck. This stuff is so borring but i need to get it over with. After tomorrow night it's on for the weekend and i'm ready to celebrate. i can't wait to see all my buddies and sexy ladies!! we're going to have so much fun. and I wish I could tell ya'll where we will be at but I'll post everything once things are said and done. See you guys later!! and ps. what is up with these damn gas prices?? I'm going to invest on skateboards and skateboard around town. Inflation is off the chain these days!! and that is on the Realz.. :: the aftermath 4:00pm :: I'm done with my exam and now I can finally rest. I'm going to go home and prep up for the OC and The American Idol 3. I haven't been keeping up with the contestants but tonight I'm going to see who is going home and who is staying. I forgot to mention to you guys that I am also painting my mom's house. We bought paint yesterday at Home Depot and my brother's room is finished. Now I just have to do my room and that will take like three days. I have so much crap in there that I don't even know what to do with all of it. I know half will go to the garage sale that we're having next month but the rest I think I'll put in storage. I'm going to paint my room with a light coffee color just because I love Starbucks so much. But I think the color I chose is called 'light linen' and it's made by Behr. The fumes will be off the heezey so I'll be at my sister's for the weekend. I can't wait for Friday night and I can pass out right now just thinking about it. I've been patiently waiting (like 50 cent) and I can't believe that it's almost finally here!! Halleluah!! I also have so much registering to do next week. I'm taking two more classes in the summer, graduating finally.. and then starting the Advertising program out at USF. I want an excuse to throw a party so there will be drinking at my graduation mixer. I haven't thought of a theme yet buy I'm counting on my Coyotes to help me out. We haven't had Greek Night yet so that sounds like it will be fun!! I'll see everyone this weekend!! and also I'm getting a new number so I'll be distributing that out to my friends when I get it!! Later!!
it doesn't get any better than this!!

[ my girls on the bar of Coyote Ugly.. - tonight they are calling the shots.. - Sherry and Erica dancing on the bar.. - Jenn and Sherry at her house with Jenn's Birthday shots!! - pre party at Wes's House, Erica and Megan ]
Sat Mar 27: Happy Birthday Jenn!! We love you!! Now how fine was tonight? seriously .. Geeze.. where do I even begin? My feet are so sore right now. We were all piled up in the car because we had only one designated driver!! Damn alcoholic beverages!! But we had so much fun tonight, and I think I will let the pictures speak for themselves!! It's 5:24am and I'm about to head off to bed. Tonight was off the heezey, you better believe me!! OMG. I want to write about it right now but I'm so freaking drunk and tired so I guess I'll update tomorrow. Night ya'll!! :: Jenn's Birthday Party at Coyote Ugly :: so last night was a night to remember. It will definately go down in the books. We started off the night at Sherry's and drank a bottle full of bud and too bad we could give some girls a hug when we walked up in da club. Ha. We went to the liquor store and Erica got this huge ass bottle of wine and it looked like a keg it itself, for real!! That's how huge this bottle was. Then I got some Parrot Bay because that is our old school drink. So we get to Sherry's and start pre-partying. We have been pre-partying for like 4 hours until we finally got to Coyote Ugly. We went to Wes's and drank these mini Coronas. They were so little!! Then Wes put on his music and we were literally jamming to all of our songs. Erica and Megan got on the tables and we were all dancing around them. It was so hilarious!! Sherry and I were dancing to the Ying Yang Twins and geeze, that is some old school ish right thurr. Brought back some wild memories. and then we finished up the rest of our drinks and drove to Ybor City. We were meeting Cliff and Steve at the bar. I haven't seen them since St Patricks Day!! Right was we walked in all eyes were on us and we knew that this night was dedicated to my best friend Jenn and that rounds and rounds of drinks will be given. Cayote Ugly is the ish!! It was just like the movie but even better. We made it our own. We've never been to Coyote Ugly before either so this was our first time experiencing the place. So we're drinking then all of the sudden the Coyote's told the audience for all the fine girls to dance on the bar. So the girls got on top of the counter and started dancing. I was like, OMG because it looked so awesome!! It was literally like a movie!! and all the guys were screaming for Sherry, Jenn, Megan, and Erica. The other girls on the bar weren't getting any attention. We felt so bad. So then all of the sudden these guys behind me were like, 'Dude, get up there!!' The guys kept cheering me on to go on top of the bar and dance with the girls. They were literally carrying me to get up there so I finally did. My friend Steve came up to me and was like, 'Your going up there!!' and I was like, 'Ummm.. no I'm not..' Then Wes was cheering him on. Steve was like, 'Dude, that is like every guys dream and you have the opportunity to go up there..' Then all the guys were cheering me on then all of the sudden the whole entire bar was screaming, 'Arthur!! Arthur!! Arthur!!' omg, are you freaking kidding me? I could not stop laughing. I must have been the only guy in the history of Coyote Ugly to dance on that bar. It was so hilarious!! I couldn't stop laughing. I was dancing between Erica and Sherry and the croud the screaming so loud. It was so much fun though, I give it that. Then finally I was like, 'Okay, okay, I'm going back down..' Then all the guys were like, 'That was so awesome!!' I guess that is what drunk people do. Then this Coyote came up to Erica and goes 'Have you ever had a Coyote shot?' and Erica was like, 'What's that?' Then the bartender was like, 'Well your about to..' and pulls Erica up on the bar and she takes the liquor and swallows a shot full in her mouth and then shoots it into Erica's mouth!! The croud went crazy. Okay, we were taking over Coyote Ugly. Then these guys kept telling Sherry how beautiful she was and I'm like, 'Stop admiring her and buy the girl a drink already.' Geeze. Do we have to spell it out to these people? Sherry's game is so tight. You have no idea. Damn. So then Wes kept buying drinks too and after a while, the girls went back up on the bar again for round two but this time, the girls from Coyote Ugly were giving them all shots and I can see Jenn and Erica getting plastered. Then one of the Coyote's got the mic and says, 'Okay now everyone, shut up and listen to me.. we have a girl here tonight who is spending her birthday with us so I would like for everyone to give out a loud howl!!' Then everyone around the bar started howling. Then the Coyote goes, 'Okay, so everyone wish this girl a Happy Birthday!! Happy Birthday Jenn!!' Then she pours liqour down Jenn's mouth. It was so crazy. Everyone in the bar was getting tipsy. Steve and Cliff kept telling me, 'This bar is off the chain.' And I'm like, 'I know.. and I'm so glad that Jenn is having a great time!!' Happy Birthday Jenn, we love you!! ..to be continued..
okay so here is the continuation.. now where did I leave off? hold up, let me read what I just wrote last so that I can start updating.. ..pause.. ..oh yeah, that's right so the girls were all getting mouth shots from the Coyote's. If you ask me, it was so damn wild. I don't even think Jack Hanna can top what they did on that bar. So I'm looking around and the place is getting filled up to where you can smell the body odor to the person next to you. Let's all say this together now: Deoderant. Some people need it. Steve asked me for my ID and I said 'for what?' and I guess some lady was walking around giving away free cigarettes and lighters so then I said, 'No, thank you I don't smoke.' Then Steve nudged me and goes, 'No they're not for you, they are for me.' Then I go, 'Ohhh.. okay then, well in that case No.' Ha. Cliff went back to get more beers and Wes kept buying Erica drinks. I think Wes has a secret crush on Erica but we'll keep that on the downlow. I know my friend Cliff thinks she is one of the most beautiful girl he has ever seen and Steve kept saying, 'Arthur, I am in love with Jenn.' Ha. So much chemistry going around Coyote Ugly right? after a few more drinks the girls all looked drunk.. how they manage to still look flawless I have no idea. Most of these pictures we are totally wasted so just imagine when sober. As we're walking out these girl, who I guess were from Europe were wearing those old school rain boots. You know.. the kind that we all used to wear when we were kids. Well at least I used to wear them with my yellow plastic rain proof suit. I looked like somebody from Missy Elliott's music videos. Well anyway these group of girls were wearing them and I kept telling Steve to be polite and to keep his comments to himself. He kept saying, 'What in the hell? why are they wearing those rain boots?' I had to take him away at moments. I'm like, 'Steve, really.. shhh.. this is what I like to call quiet time.' Cliff had to help me out and say, 'Steve, they are Europeans.' Then Jenn walks out and see's the girls and go, 'Are they wearing..' and before she could finish I told her, 'I give up!!' Ha. Cliff and Steve walk us back to our car and it's about 3am. R Kelley got us beat by three hours for his, 'six in the morning.. six in the morning..' Then we all kept telling Jenn Happy Birthday and by the end of night I think she got 1.2 million happy birthdays sent to her. We got in Erica's car and Wes had to drive because he was the most soberest (is that even a word?) out of all of us. I sat up front with Erica on my lap and after forty-five minutes I could not feel my legs anymore. They were so numb because Erica was cutting off the circulation of my veins. But I didn't care. When you have a best friend on your lap and they are sleepy and drunk and you don't want to wake them up by moving your leg, that is what you do. Awww.. I love my Erica. She was the wildest out of my personal Coyote's. Don't get me wrong.. all my girls were so wild that night but Erica got them beat with all those mouth Coyote shots. Those were off the chain. So we're driving and I'm passed out in the front seat as well and all I can hear is Wes saying, 'I'm glad that I'm sober-wan-kanobi' which I thought was really clever and funny and I woke up and started laughing. I looked around to see if we were almost home and we were still on the damn interstate!! I felt like I've been in that car for three hours!! So then we pull in a McDonalds where they all got food and I'm telling you, time was not an essence this night because again, we were in the drive-thru line for thirty minutes and no, I was NOT 'lovin it'. They need to change their slogan to 'I'm Lovin It.. sometimes..' For real. Wes wanted us to party with him and kept saying, 'You guys come back to my place and we'll stay up till 9am and we all looked at him and gave him dirty looks like, 'No freaking way!! it's bedtime son!!' so we dropped off Wes and Erica drove us back to our cars. By the time I got to my bed I looked at it and was so happy. I hugged it and said, 'I'm so glad that you are here because if not I would be laying on the floor.' I was so drunk that I was talking to my own bed. So no more liquor for me.. I mean no more until this weekend I mean. Well it was one hell of a night and my best friend Jenn is now 20 and almost legal to buy her own Coronas!! I love you Jenn!! We wish you a Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday Jenn!!

Tampa Brickyard
Tampa BrickYard
:: Guys Night Out :: Sat 03/20: It was guys night out and as much I kept telling Erica, Jenn, Megan, and Sherry that I still wanted them to come out, the girls were like, 'go and have fun!! Be safe, don’t get too many numbers.' Aww.. I love my girls!! And especially Sherry cuz she goes up to Matt and started arguing, 'You better take care of my man because he usually goes with us and since your taking him out tonight you better be good and take care of him.' Matt's like, 'He's going to be with us, he is going to have fun.' Sherry looks at me and goes, 'if it gets too damn rowdy at Brickyard you call my cell phone..' I kiss her on her check and I'm like, 'Ok.' So we leave the girls and I hop in Doug's truck. Plant City boys are so different from my usual Tampa friends. We get to Tampa Brickyard and it's twelve dollars to get in for sink or swim. How much money am I going to be spending today? Geeze. So we get in and I run into so many people. I haven't seen them in so long. Just goes to show that I haven’t been out to these bars in a while. Everyone keeps asking me, 'What’s your number, let's hang out..' and as much as I would love to, I don't even have time to hang out with my own friends and then add on a few more onto my list. It's hard having a lot of friends because you can't give all of them all your full attention and I hate that. I wish I had time for everyone. So then these old ladies came up to us (they must have been around 30 and they all did look good for their age) and they come up to us and start buying us drinks. What was funny was that their was four of them and four of us. Manuel looks at me and goes, 'Dude, these girls want to take us home!!' What do you do in a position like this. So of course I have the red head in the group and she kinda looks like the girl from Starship Troopers and Melrose Place, I mean she was hott but the whole thirty years old thing got me worried since I am like a lot younger than she was but Manuel was like, 'Let's at least talk to them so we did.' These ladies we persistent. So we get split up and it’s me and Manuel with our girls, and Doug and Matt with the other two outside at the patio. Our girls took us to the bar and goes, 'So what do you boys want to drink?' I couldn't believe what was happening? This is like every guys dream come true, having older ladies to hit on them, but me and Manuel just wanted to hang out and talk to the younger crowd. So our first shot was the Yeggarmeister. Manuel's like 'bottoms up kid!!' And we down that shot. I'm like, 'Are we really going to talk to these ladies?' and he's like, 'Listen, they are buying us drinks so just go with the flow.' I'm like, 'ohhhh ok.' I mean we drank shot after shot after shot. After a few shots I didn't really care anymore about this woman's age. But still it was crazy though. We went outside to check on our buddies Matt and Doug and they were sitting down having drinks with those ladies. Matt looks at us like, 'alright, let's go.' But these ladies didn't want us to leave their site. So thank goodness Jordan was there to save the day, and she was like, 'Hey boys, let's go!! Britney and Toni are waiting for you guys.' Halleluah!! Praise the lord we found an escape route. So we hang out with these girls at the bar and finally the ladies got the hint. Then this other girl comes up to me and we start talking. Now these new girls were our age. They were really hott too. So we're talking and she's like, 'I want to talk more with you, what's your number?' I don’t ever give out my number and especially to a girl that I just met but I gave it to her anyway. She was off the chain because she lifts up her shirt and goes 'write it down here!!' Am I in the Twilight Zone or something? This girl must have had taken one too many shots because I could have easily asked the bartender for a piece of paper so I wrote on her and she wrote her number on my forearm. She's like, 'Don't lose my number!! We have to keep in touch!! You are so adorable!!' I look over at Manuel and he is just smiling away. I'm like, 'I'm glad you think it's funny Manuel!!' So we leave the bar and look for Matt and Doug and we can't find them so we're like, 'Damn, that's our ride.' Britney was like, 'If you guys need a ride we can take you home!!' So then Toni took her car and we got in. I can’t thank Jordan enough for taking us back to my car. I was so tired and I have been partying all day long and all I wanted to do was go to bed and sleep. So me and Manuel we so trashed. We were gone!! G-O-N-E!! And we were teeling these girls how to get back to my car which was parked at Erica’s house. Ok. How do I even explain these directions?? I was so drunk. Manuel's like, 'I remember I remember!!' So we go with his instincts and drive to Erica's We must have passed the street like million times but we got there. We told the girls goodnight and then got into my car. Manuel's like, 'Can you believe tonight?? It's crazy huh??' I'm like, 'Hell yeah, tonight was off the chain!!' So then we got to Jenn’'s and I'm quietly knocking on her door. Manuel's like, 'I don't think they are home man.' But Jenn's car is in the driveway. 'I'm like, Manuel you told me that you saw Jenn's car, then if her car is here then she's inside.' The porchlight comes on and we're both nervous as hell. Manuel's been telling me all night long, 'Let's go to Jenns house, let's go to Jenn's house' so finally we’re there and he can't back out now. Erica answers the door and we’re like, 'Thank goodness.' I am finally going to get some sleep. We get upstairs and start laying out blankets and pillows all over the place to sleep. What's so funny is that Jenn has a canapé and when Manuel saw it he goes, 'What's this Jenn? It looks like something that keeps out mosquitoes.' We were laughing so hard. Jenn's like, 'it goes over your head when you sleep.' Then he was like, 'You girls sure like fancy things.' Then Jenn and I were like, 'No loud snoring tonight either!!' cuz the other night we all spent the night, these guys were so loud. It sounds like a freaking fog horn is being blown. So it was lights out and the girls kept asking us, 'So what happened tonight Arthur?? Where is Matt??' And I'm like, 'I don’t want to talk about!! Goodnight girls.. let's just go to bed.' And they keep asking us, 'What happened?' And we just kept saying, 'Let's just go to bed.' I'm surprised that the girls let us. So I don't even know how many minutes pass by but then I hear this weird Buffalo sound. Am I dreaming?? Am I on an African Safari? No. It was just Manuel and Erica snoring!! I knew it. Must be nice for the snorers because they are able to sleep while the un-snorers have to stay up and hear them. Life is just not fair is it?? Next time we're going to Wal-Mart to get plugs for their noses.:: Plant City Revisited :: Sun 03/21: Mmm.. today we had some bad ass southern cookin at Jenn’s grandparents. I am really starting to feel at home out in the country. Or how Manuel pronounces it –Cone-tree- ha. He tells us that he doesn’t have an accent but he really does. When someone tells you, ‘Eye done’t hab en ek-sent’ They usually have one. Trust me. It is as southern as going to Church in Louisiana and the air conditioning is not working. But before we even get into that let me begin with our morning. Okay, so I’m trying to catch some shut eye while Erica and Manuel aka The Snore Kings kept us up. I was having a really awesome dream too and right as I’m about to hold all the bags of money in my hands I get awaken by Manuel’s loud ass snores. I didn’t even know that humans were capable of such noises. Then once the snoring died down a little Jenn's door pops open and her dog comes in and starts licking my face. Am I going to get any sleep? Tell me now because I might as well take a permanent marker and write 'Freddy Kruger come get me' across my forehead. more coming soon..
erica's Pool Party
Sat 03/20: Partying has it’s advantages and it’s disadvantages. I mean it’s so much fun going out and hanging with your friends, but then when you do it for a whole week straight it really drains you out. But we had one hella weekend!! I can’t even count how many hours we’ve been awake I feel like I can write a novel on insomnia. Either that or the bars are just closing later. So I arrive to Erica's and there are tons of cars in her driveway. Okay, where do I park my car? I go inside and all I hear are screams!! 'Arthur!!' They all came up to me and hugged me so hard that I almost feel over!! First it was Megan and she latched onto me like a spider. It was so freaking hilarious because she 'literally' jumped on my and her feet wrapped around my waist. I was walking around saying hi to people with Megan wrapped around me. It was so funny. Everyone was there!! Bill, Joe, Danny, Erica, Ashley, Jenn, Megan, Sherry, Ann, Mike, Matt, Doug, Ryan.. you get the point. Erica’s pool party was off the hizzle. These people have been partying since 12pm that afternoon and by the time I got there it was like 8pm. Yup. Everybody in the club getting tipsy. So then they were like, ‘Okay let’s all go.’ We were going to another keg party at Wes’s house. The girls were all in their bikinis and didn’t even change. ‘Girl I didn’t even know you could get down like that.. Charlie how your angels get down like that??’ For real. So we go to Mike’s house first and Sherry and I hop on Bill’s bed. We were like, ‘Okay guys goodnight!! We’re going to bed!! Night.’ Everyone was like you guys better wake up. We were cooking pizza, letting the neighbors walk though Mike’s house, and drinking the rest of the beer in Danny’s fridge.. it was off the chain. They were like, ‘Hurry up Bill and take shower so that we can go!’ And Bill goes, ‘I’m a grown man, I know when I can take a shower!!’ So we waited for him and we slept on the bed downstairs. Jenn and Erica went to get food at Wendy’s.. all this happening right before Wes’s keg party. Everyone’s like, ‘Let’s go let’s go’ so we left. There was a ton of people at Wes’s and I felt bad for him because his apartment was trashed. Beer everywhere and cups and paper was all over the floor. Welcome to college life. The second keg finally arrived and we were drinking so much. Manuel arrives and I’m like, ‘holy crap!! What’s going on kid??’ He just got back from his friends wedding. I’m looking at him and he’s already holding a cup and it didn’t look like beer. So I asked Manuel, ‘What are you drinking??’ And he’s like, ‘Liquor!!’ And I said, ‘What are you waiting for? Let’s go!!’ So we go his truck and we started making drinks. He made my so string and by a few sips I was already feeling buzzed. I’m not really a beer drinker too because why go through the five stages of getting plastered when you can cut to the chase and drink liquor. I was so gone already you don’t even know. People were saying the funniest things and I would laugh so hard. It was like a Van Wilder movie. Doug goes, ‘I want to do a keg stand.’ Doug is our buddy who ways about 300 pounds of pure muscle. Holing him up is like holding up Rosie O’Donnel.. we were going to need reinforcement. So Matt, Manuel, Rick, Ted, and I holstered him up and not even the first second he was up in the air he hit his head on the keg. I could not stop laughing. I think I got a picture of it. I can’t remember. So I go inside and my girls are dancing on the bar and I go and dance with them. Wes changed up the sound when he put in some Kanye West. We were tearing it up. Jenn, Megan, Sherry, and Erica were dancing and kept falling over because by that time it must have been like 13 hours of non stop drinking. How are they lasting? Erica videotaped some of the pool party and I can't wait to see it. So we’re about to leave Wes's keg party and Jenn can’t find her keys. Matt had grabbed them because he didn’t want the girls to drive home. So then Manuel tosses the keys over his head and it smacks Erica on the side of her head. OMG.. we could not stop laughing. It was so funny!! I felt really bad though but I kept thinking that it was more hilarious than Marsha Brady getting hit by a football in The Brady Bunch The Movie. I was like, 'Manuel!!' And he goes up to Erica and says, 'I'm so sorry!! Are you okay?’ How do you respond after getting hit in the head with your own car keys. Erica was laughing about it so she was okay. Awww.. poor thing.. but it made my night. We love you Erica!!
TGIF at Tia's Tex Mex
Fri 03/19: :: Tonight we're all going out for drinks. But before that we're going to see Secret Window with Jhonny Depp and that lady from Cayote Ugly. I'm actually skurred!! But then again it's Jhonny Depp so how scary can this be? :: Hey guys what's up? I just got home and I'm so tired and ready for bed. I just got back from Tia's and that place was off the chain tonight. So I got out of the movies with my sisters and we ended up watching Secret Window (don't go see it) instead of Dawn of the Dead because it was sold out. And we weren't about to watch the 11:55 one. Don't go see Secret Window because it's a movie that just makes you feel weird just like when I saw Vanilla Sky. I'm shaking my head at the producers who came up with this crazy ish. After the movie I called up Jenn to see where I was meeting them. She was like, 'Hey!, come over here!! We're waiting for you at Tias!!' So I'm like, 'ok, well I just left Muvico and I'm on my way there!!' I was feeling really jittery from that Mocha Frap I had earlier from Starbucks and I hate that feeling.. so no more Starbucks for me!! Seriously too. (two weeks later you see my at Starbucks with a Mocha Frap) If I ever go to Starbucks again it's only for their cookies. I need discipline here people!! I can't handle the caffeine overdose. For real. I need to remind myself of the aftermath. I get to Tia’s and I see Megan and shout, 'Hey wait for me!!' The guy at the door is like, 'It's five bucks to get in.' and I'm like, 'Are you kidding me? This is Tia's, not Club Tia's.' So anyway, Megan and I went to look for Jenn and Erica inside and the first person that gets my attention is Sherry!! I look up and I'm like holy crap!! Sherry!! So we hug for like three minutes and then we go to the dance floor and danced to Kanye West. (which is our new favorite rapper) and we were tearin' up the dance floor and Little Megs and Erica was dancing right behind us. Then that song Band from D-12 came on and it was so funny because me and Sherry kept asking each other, 'so whose the lead singer of this band?' hahahah.. It was so much fun. Then I ran into my buddy Matt and he's like, 'Arthur!! What's up man??' and I see Manuel right behind him. Manuel comes up to me and tells me, 'Arthur you're my dawg!!' And he looks over at the people he was with and introduced me to these two girls and says, 'This is my buddy Arthur.' I introduce myself, 'Hi I'm Arthur. It's nice to meet you both.' And they are like, 'So you're the Arthur everyone’s waiting for’ and I was like, 'Yup. I guess?' I just got there and saying hi to people left and right. I really just wanted to dance all night but it was kinda hard because there was a million and half people there so we tried to stay together. If they said that 'the roof was on fire' I'd probably believe them. So Manuel was like, 'You're my buddy Arthur!! You better drink with me tonight.' And I told him, 'No I can't, I've been drinking all week and even if people bought me drinks I'd still say no.' Manuel had to slow down on his drinking because even though I said no he kept saying 'Round of drinks, round of drinks!!' Ha. I couldn't stop laughing. Too bad I wasn't as drunk as he was!! The girls wanted me to drink and really I was out of it. I just met them too and I'm like, 'You two girls are very nice but I need to get going and look for my friends.' Finally Sherry comes and saves me and we head back out to the bar and I meet her buddy Jeremy from the Y. I'm like, 'Where did you get your cowboy hat? It's really awesome!!' And he was like, 'It's mine but Sherry can wear it' and so he put it on Sherry's head and it looked so fine on her!! I told Sherry, 'You should wear that hat for the rest of the night!!' I love dancing with Sherry because she can dance and we have so much fun. I saw so many people that I went to college with too and it's funny cuz we all look at each other like, 'Shouldn't you be studying?' Ha. I'm glad that I went out tonight because I still had fun even though I was completely sober. Can you believe that? Everybody in da club getting tipsy while I'm up in da club getting sober. No. That just ain't right. Well folks I'm going to bed. I have to wake up mad early tomorrow and take my nieces to Chuck E Cheeses with Lara. Then after that go to Erica's Pool Party. I can't wait!! 'I've been waiting for this for so long' like Usher. See you guys there!! Night.
Sweet Home Alabama
-> Celebrity Update: <- Thur 03/18: 8:45pm: Paris Hilton is going to be at The Dallas Bull tonight and we're still deciding whether or not we should all go. Steve and Cliff wants us to meet them out there and they said that it's free to get in after 1am. I heart Paris Hilton too and it would be bad ass to hang out with her but it's just that we have to decide whether we should see -Paris Hilton- or -steaks at Manuels-. I'm so hungry and I really want some Plant City southern style steak. I've been at school all day and plus Jenn said that I could have hers. Ahhh.. the extra steak sound so tempting!! What should I do here guys? I'm sitting here right next to Jenn and we're waiting for Erica to get here. Jenn say's Hi. :: we're laughing so hard :: so it took me forever to take that Math test today and by the time it was over it was way too late to go to my next class so I just skipped it. Well anyway, Erica just called so I guess we're just going to Manuel's. I'll talk to you guys soon!! Hot tub here we come!! Later!! :: -> Plant City <- Fri 03/19: what's up everyone?? Sorry that I haven't been online as much it's just that we're trying to set up for this Pool Party tomorrow. But I finally took my Math test and that's all done and over with. Now about this weekend: We just got back from Target and bought most of the supplies and Erica still has to pick up the keg. Megan is so cute because she was adding everything up and making sure that we were saving money. She would be like, 'Okay that's eight dollars, now we still need hamburger buns!! Get to work people..' Awww.. I love little Megan!! Well last night was so much fun!! Me, Erica, and Jenn experienced The Simple Life. We drove through Plant City and I was looking out for cows and The Dixie Chicks. But actually Plant City isn't what I pictures it to be. i mean they did have the wide open spaces but the houses their were actually really really nice. Right when we got to Manuel's house I was like, 'This place doesn't look anything like a farm!' And Manuel said 'it's Plant City, not Kansas City.' Ha. Aww.. his house was off the chain. I mean it was something off of MTV Cribs. For real. His pool even has a diving board. So then I look up and there are paper plates and cups on the table. Matt was cooking steaks on the grill and Manuel was checking the temperature in the hot tub. We all changed into out bathing suits and then sat down at the table. Manuel comes over and goes, 'somebody say grace already because I'm starving..' Then I'm like I already did. The food was so awesome. Matt's steaks were so good and plus the baked potato was off the heezey. Can white people cook soul food? What was even cooler was that we had old school iced tea and then I felt the complete southern comfort of Plant City. Now I know how it felt when that lady says 'I will not be hungry anymore!!' in Gone With The Wind. I was like, 'This is really nice Manuel and I really like your house.' I had no idea that Plant City houses even looked like this. Then also met Manuel's dog (which is also his best friend) and he was so little. He was like a Giga Pet. He kept giving him little pieces of steak it was so funny. I do the same thing with my dogs. Then Matt kept checking the temperature of the hot tub and he was like, 'guys, this hot tub is really hot.' We could see steam rising from it. I'm like, 'So what are you cooking over there Matt?' And Matt wasn't joking either cuz that hot tub was boiling hot. I'm like, 'Are you trying to cook us Matt?' Then me and Jenn were cracking jokes like 'So Matt, why are you adding carrots and pepper to the hot tub?' hahahaha.. but he took a hose from the pool and put it into the hot tub to make it cool down. No body wanted to put themselves into the 'cooking pot' I mean hot tub so I'm like, 'Fine, whatever, I'll go in.' And then everyones looking at me like I'm crazy and it was hot. But I just dealt with it. Not even a minute and sweat was dripping from my forehead. I was sweatin to the oldies in Manuel's hot tub. So then one by one they started to go in. Jenn was like, 'I dare you to get into the pool.' And then Matt wrestled Manuel and they both fell in. Hahahah.. OMG.. it's so cold in that damn pool. (especially after being in that hot tub aka Sahara Desert) It was so funny. Finally the hot tub cooled down and so everyone got in that biatch. Manuel kept saying the funniest things and we could not stop laughing. He keeps telling us that he does not have an accent but he has one!! He is countrier than Garth Brooks. One thing that I learned from this Plant City getaway is that The Simple Life isn't always as simple. They have TV's and Radio out in the country just like we do!! Go figure. So then as we're leaving Manuel shows us this go cart thing that his dad made and I see mud all over it. I'm like, 'is that what I think it is?' And if it is, we are so going mudd riding.. or whatever you call that the next time we visit. Who knows, we might even get to go cow tipping. Hahaha.. I'm kidding. Or am I? Later!! -> Previously: <- Thur 03/18: Okay, well i have to make this really really short because i have a test in like 15 minutes and i still need time to look over this Review sheet.. so anyway, last night was so much fun. You have no idea!! I took pictures so when i get them developed i'll add them on here!! I spent the night last night at Natalie's and today we went to go visit our friend Ann at Hunters Green.. then tonight Matt and Manuel are going to make us steaks.. mmm.. Yum!! and then we're going to their hot tub afterwards!! So I can't wait for tonight!! I'm meeting Jenn after my test and then heading over to Erica's so i won't have time to post any updates right now but i promise i will soon!! Soooo much to talk about here!! So much fun!! Hope everyone had a great time last night!! Leave me a message on my pager if you need me!! life is so bad ass!!! i love it!! wish me luck on my exams!! i've been studying all day too!! Later!!
St Patricks Day at Club Bennigans!!
happy St Patricks Day everyone!! we took so many pictures last night and so much happened.. I'll post up some updates.. UPDATE: okay, sorry that it took a while for me to update this entry but now I have time so here is what happened. Me and Natalie went to Coco Pelli's to pick up Josh. Right when we got there Josh was waiting outside and he had a cup in his hand. He was like, 'Here, drink this!' I'm like, 'What is it?' He's like, 'Just drink it and tell me if you like it.' So I did and it was so strong!! He was telling me how he got to make it right after his shift. Josh is great at making mixed drinks because not only he is a bad ass chef but he also knows how to bartend. So we went back to his place at Lake Jovita and we had to be really quiet because his parents were already asleep so we quietly went upstairs to his room. He was like, 'I'll be in the shower and you guys can just wait in my room.' So then Natalie was showing me old pictures of Josh. They were so funny. I found this old one where he was wearing these big glasses and I put it up on his picture frame to see if he will notice it. After Josh got ready we went downstairs and went into Drummin's liquor cabinet and Josh started mixing it up. They had everything in that cabinet!! I don't even remember the ingredients but all I know is that it tasted so good and I was already buzzed. We drove to Tampa and met up with Erica, Jenn, Matt, and Manuel at Club Bennigans. The place was so packed!! It was hard getting around without spilling my drink. We got beer and said hi to everyone that was there. I ran into so many people!! Then they were telling me that it was sink or swim at The Greenery so we left Bennigans and went there. I'm telling you I got so plastered!! My old buddy Alex hooked us up with wristbands so we all got in for free. We were dancing and I remember spilling my drink all over this girl. I felt bad but then again she looked like she needed it. She was sweating hardcore. So we all sat by the bar and Manuel kept ordering pitchers left and right. Then Victor showed up and started ordering pitchers too. I looked over at Natalie, and I'm like, 'I am so drunk!!' then she looked back and me and goes, 'So am I!!' We were doomed because I knew that by the time I hit the sack, my head would be spinning. The place started getting really packed so we left back to Erica's. We had three cars following each other so I have no idea how we all made it back to Erica's. I literally slugged my way through Erica's house because by that time I was completely wasted. Everything people said was funny to me. So I layed in her livingroom and we were watching television. I don't remember the rest because I had one too many shots so bare with me here. I do remember saying bye to Manuel, Jenn, Erica, and Matt so I guess they all spent the night there, but I went back to Natalie's and stayed the night at her house. I remember Josh saying, 'Did you have fun?' but then that was it. I must have passed out on the bed. It was such a great night and my best friend Natalie looked so cute with her St Patricks Day t-shirt. I love her so much!! and the rest was me counting sheep because I don't remember anything else. St Patricks Day this year was off the chain!! How do I know? because when you don't remember half the events that happened that night it means that you had a good time.. hahaha.. Happy St. Patricks Day everyone!!
-> 2:15am: holy crap!! i am so plastered right now you have no idea.. we had so much to drink.. we ended up going to TGIFridays with Jenn, Erica, Matt, and Manuel and had THE best time ever.. anyway, Ryan is trying to sleep so i'd better go and UPDATE this ish tomorrow.. see you guys later!! we took so many pictures tonight!!! i can't wait to post them up!! Later guys!! Much love, ~arthur <-
9:42am: omg!!! so this is what a hangover feels like!! i just want everyone to speak really softly tonight when they see me. I mean for real. Everyone use their 12 inch voices!! Hahaha.. do you guys remember that? My teachers used to always say that then we'd bust out a ruler. OMG, that is so funny right now. I think partly because I am delirious. And will the room please take a nap and stop spinning for me. Okay, Thanks room. So much happend last night you have no idea. I remember sitting at Winners Grill around 8:45pm with Jenn and telling her, 'you have NO idea how much fun we're going to have tonight!!' and she walk no, 'I do!!' We both have huge smiles on our faces. Then by 10pm I was already drinking Margartias with Erica. I knew what was coming for me this night. So I can't regret this hangover!! I must respect it. Damn you hangover!!! So here is what happened last night. Well at least most of what I can remember.. Again, I'm still recovering from Long Islands as we speak.. Let me break it down, break it down for you guys!! so we're waiting for Jenn and then Matt and Manuel show up. (there are tons of inside jokes in here so please bare with me: i will have all the inside jokes in yellow) :: i'm too drunk to sleep :: Can you please pass me my fork-phone :: Everybody wakes up at 5:30am people here are off the chain!! and then goes to work :: No VCR, What are we going to watch? I thought all houses came with VCR's? :: Guys say: Planet of The Female Apes (porn) and Girls say: Pretty Woman (with Julia Roberts) :: I brought over Billy Madison, Cayote Ugly, Halloween H2O, and Cruel Intentions for nothing!! :: Hey J, what's LV? :: Everybody in da club gettin tipsy :: 'Look, there's a parking spot!!' then later to find out that theres tons of parking spaces up front :: Margarita Mix, I have no idea what it's really called :: Erica runs into the sliding glass door, She thinks she's invincible. She's Superwoman :: Jenn walks in, 'What? What the hell is that?', it's Sebastian.. Ashley's dog, noooo it's Simba!! Ohhh.. ok, whatever :: Pour more drink :: That's your younger brother!! Damn, he looks like he's 30!! :: Man, you have more facial hair than I do and I'm 20 :: 'I said Brother, and you said Buddy', 'no I said Buddy and you say Brother man' :: We all have to be really really quiet.. SLAM!! :: How does this digital camera work?? :: Batman Batwoman Robin Superman and Wonderwoman :: alright so the guys show up and we're making more drinks for them. Emanuel makes his drink and pours the rest of the Margarita in my cup.. and i'm like, 'damn.. i'm going to get so plastered tonight!!' Jenn finally shows up and she calls me five minutes prior and is like, 'Arthur meet me outside in five minutes.' So I'm waiting outside Erica's house and it looks like a scene from the movie Scream so I'm standing in between like six cars in the dark. I see a car driving up and I'm like, 'This better be you Jenn!!' and it was!! She's like help me carry this stuff in and I'm like, 'Jenn, tonight is supposed to be fun night!! Not let's carry bags around night!!' So we put everying down on the couch. Right as Jenn walks in, Simba runs and starts jumping on her. She's like, 'what the hell is that?' Simba is a chow mix so he looks off the chain. And we start laughing hysterically. Then we walk inside and everyone starts talking and hanging around. I pull Jenn to side and I go, 'Jenn, how much money do you have??' She's like, 'Why?' and I told her, 'well we're going to TGIFridays tonight because Matt has the hook up there.' And I'm giving her the puppy dog look, 'It will be fun!!' So she was like 'fine!! We'll go.' Ashley and her boyfriend show up and they follow us to TGIFridays. When we pull up Jenn's like, 'Oh look, there's a parking spot!! Let's take it!!' so we park and we all think we're big and bad when all of the sudden as we're walking up towards the front we see tons of free parking spaces!! Can you freaking believe that? So we find a table and start ordering drinks. And I mean we're irdering drinks left and right. I'll have a JuneBug, I'll have a Long Island, I'll have a Rum and Coke, hi I'll have a Margarita.. and that is how it all started. 'More rounds of drinks for everyone!!' Emanuel kept telling our waiter that. I can already feel my lips getting numb. I was already wasted and Jenn was getting there too. Erica's like ,'I love my drink.' It's called junebug and it comes with a pineapple and two cherrys. So then Jenn orders one too and says 'Hey, how come mine doesn't come with a cute pineapple!!' So the waiter had to go back and get her another one. The conversations at this table were so hilarious!! I'm telling you. I can't even remember half the things we said because I had way too much to drink. So we were talking about Erica's Pool Party Saturday and how much fun it's going to be. Then also about St Patricks Day. So then Matt goes, 'I'm having so much fun tonight!!' Then I go, 'Well here's cheers to us and for all the things to come!!' Then Manuel goes, 'That's the best thing I've heard all night!!' And we all cheered to that. It was an incredible time. We picked up our tab and drove back to Erica's for the After Party. So we had to be really quiet because Erica's dad has to wake up at like 5am in the morning to get ready for work. But how in the world are five college kids going to stay quiet after a night of drinking? The answer is that they don't. Ha. We're all chillin outside in the pool area and then Erica get's up for some reason to go walk inside. She goes towards the kitchen then SLAM!! The girl walks right into the sliding glass door!! And it was so loud. I mean monster loud. And we're all looking at each other dying laughing and trying to hold everything in. So then Erica's mom comes out and goes, 'You guys have to keep it down.' But we must have been so loud. So I'm like let's all go inside and watch these movies. So we go inside and sit around the livingroom and I'm looking for a VCR. I'm like, 'I only see DVD stuff' then Manuel's like, 'Dammit I really wanted to see Halloween H2O too!' Erica is like, 'Whatever, I have cable!!' So we're flipping through channels right and we see Planet Of The Female Apes Erotica. And I'm like, 'Jenn, put it on, put it on!!' And Matt and Manuel are both like, 'Yeah let's watch it!!' But then the girls are like, 'Eww.. no, let's watch Pretty Woman!!' And then Manuel's like, 'just turn it to Planet Of The Female Apes' so we did and we saw all these tribal girls naked running around the forrest. Then Jenn's like, 'Uh uh, we are not watching this!!' So they turned it back to Pretty Woman. I passed out and when I woke up I looked at the TV screen and it was Catch Me If You Can, and I'm like, 'You guys are still up?? what are you guys watching??' I look at the clock and only 30 minutes have gone by. Are you kidding me?? I was too drunk to even fall alseep. And I know you guys know that feeling. Emanuel says, 'Can you guys set the alarm clock for 5:30am?' then said, 'wait that's like in a few minutes.. forget it.' We're like 'why?' 'I have to get up for work.' OMG, you are so drunk right now and you have to work.. Manuel!! Then all of the sudden we look around and everyone is awake!! Manuel looks up and goes, 'Everybody is awake at 5:30am, people here are off the chain!!' Nobody got any sleep, and I was so tired. And for me, I have a test today at five!! So then they leave for work and Jenn and I slept on the couch. A few hours roll by and here I am. Jenn is still sleeping behind me. I wonder if I should put shaving cream on her fingers and tickle her nose with a feather so that she puts shaving cream on her own face. Hahaha.. I told her last night, 'I'm going to put a hotdog in your pocket and draw smiley faces all over your arms..' But no, she is sleeping like a little angel. I'll get her next time.. hahah.. awww Jenn, I love you!! when you read this your going to die laughing. Then be like, 'you better not fall asleep or else you'll be waking up with shaving cream all over you. Hahaha!!

Are you serious?? hhahahahha.. yeah we are going to get krunk this weekend!! Fo sho!! omg and guess what? i have some Celebrity Sighting news for you guys!! so as you know, the producers of MTV's The Real World (the same porducers that met with me when i tried out for Real World) came here to Tampa. Well Brookesville more like it. They chose a family from there to travel with Paris and Ricci on their new show The Simple Life 2. So Paris Hilton was here in Tampa!! Yup. She was at the Cheesecake Factory and International Plaza (the same one that i go to all the time) and her and Nick and Ricci all ate then walked on through the mall. What was funny is that people didn't really recognize Ricci or Nick but they were all over Paris. Ha.. Blondes are better aren't they? Winkys Sherry!! Winkys.. hahahaha.. Then tonight we're going to meet up with Matt and Manuel at Erica's. Jenn is meeting me there too. We might just hang around the house and watch Blockbuster movies. Erica's new house is so awesome too!! We have so much fun there!! We're going to figure out how many kegs we're going to need for this party Saturday night. Matt is so cool too and I know that he has a lot of great ideas. Then later this week Natalie told me that her and Josh want me to go bowling with them. I have gotten so much better too!! And speaking of extra curricular activities, my sister and I are going to look at pool tables today for our game room. We're also going to Pottery Barn to look at couches too for the study. I heart that place. They have everything. They definately rank number two under Target. Our house is looking off the chain and I'm almost done with my murial. Once it's finished I'll post pictures of it on here. I'm back into my Pablo Picasso mode and I've been painting again. I was thinking of selling some of my work on eBay. Ha. But only Melissa, Lori, and Coral from the Real World will buy them from me. and speaking of television, I was flipping through the channels and there was Jerry Springer and the topic was I Had Your Man And It Is Your Brother!! That is so freaking hilarious. The crowd kept cheering Jerry Jerry and my sister and I were dying laughing!! I think that same lady was sleeping with her cousins too. That is just nasty. I remember watching Jerry Spring in my old yearbook class and all of us would laugh so hard. Me, Kerri, and Justin would turn the volume up and say, 'They did her dirty!!' or 'These people are so trailer park!!' Haha. It was like insest meets the crazy bunch. Then my friends Jackie, Serena, and Salmaris would sing Bell Funna Rang Bell Funna Rang.. But a song pops into my head when I think of Jerry Springer and it's 'two trailer park girls go round the outside, round the outside, round the outside!!' Haha.. Well folks i gotta get started on my day. For real. This weekend is almost here!! Can you believe it?? i have go and meet with Nate right now and get some stuff at Party City for his parents St. Patricks Day party. and hopefully get some Starbucks on the way there to wake me up.

:: spring event ::
Sun 03/14: wow.. i wanted to thank everyone for those awesome comments!! I can't believe how much feedback I got today. i checked my e-mail tonight and i had both of my hands over my mouth when I saw how many people wanted to help out. So I'm going to make a list of people who are willing to send donations and gather up all the information and e-mail you guys back with the addresses and fax numbers. I know one person does not have money to actually send those dresses but we can have something arranged. We might even have time to send some out for the dress giveaway in San Francisco. Melissa is going to flip out when she reads all of your letters that I received. You guys are the best!! I'm going to look into my sister's closets this week and send those dresses, accessories, and handbags as well. Come on now, we don't even need half the stuff we have in our rooms so give to others who are less fortunate. Not all of us have the luxury of having everything handed down to us. Some people have to earn a living like The Jeffersons. Must be nice. That is why this project was created. And these girls just want to go to prom. Thanks again so much for all your support. This is a really great charity event and now some of these girls can actually go to Prom. How cool is that? Every little step counts. So here is the downlow: The Princess Project is a 100% volunteer effort to provide free prom dresses and accessories to San Francisco Bay Area girls who could not otherwise afford them. The Princess Project collects new and nearly new formal dresses and accessories from women, girls, and companies throughout the Bay Area, and distributes them free of charge to Bay Area girls at a fun-filled event in the spring. Thanks so much!!

saturday night live  <- check this out!!
Sat 03/13: my buddy Melissa Howard, also known for her casting on MTV's The Real World season nine has been urging everyone to participate in this program of helping those who are less fortunate and cannot afford to go to prom. I promised MELISSA that I'd use my popularity to get everyone to pitch in and help out. When I got her e-mail I recieved a few stories of these girls who could not afford to buy a prom dress. Don't bust out the Kleenex tissues just yet. Now I remember my prom and how exciting that night was for me. It was a night to remember and everyone should experience that special night. So I am taking my time to help out Melissa and get donations sent to this site: WWW.PRINCESSPROJECT.ORG So please do you part and help out. I know most of my friends have money and can afford all this ish but some people can't, so do the right thing and help these people out. Thanks. Okay, well do I even get a chance to take a breather today? Geeze. Okay so my day went down like this: I woke up really really this morning because we were all going to Channelside to go see this show on 3-D. I love going to IMAX theatres because I am really into the special effects and cool graphics. When we got seated, we had these huge 3-D glasses to put over our heads. Nate's head was way too little so they had to give him a child size one and I started laughing so hard. But then again, mine fit me in the adult size because I have a huge head. So we're all sitting there watching the show and you can litterally reach out and it feels like you can touch the objects right in front of you. It was so awesome!! Then afterwards we went to the SPAGHETTI WAREHOUSE and had some amazing pasta. I heart the food there!! I always and forever eating everything there. Then afterwards, I went to develope my film, then went to the library to get some books, came home to walk my dogs, then went to get Chinese take-out with my sister Consuelo, rent a scary movie at Blockbuster, and then go home to check my e-mails. I am planning to sleep early tonight since I have been waking up so early these past few days. I'll probably watch these movies then head off to bed. But before that, here is a re-cap on what happened right before I went out for Fabiola's Birthday Party: So before I went to The Hyde Park Cafe my sister and I went to International to buy summer clothes. Also, I had posted earlier that I needed to buy socks for my new Kenneths. I hate wearing old socks with brand new shoes so I needed to buy a new pair. So Elly and I started off at Neiman's and we found my sister's Prada purse. It was sitting there on the counter and it didn't take much time to find help either. Like three ladies came up to help us and asked if we needed any assistance. Yes, is this on sale? No. Prada is never on sale it seems. I wonder if these people work off comission because they all came on down like it was The Price Is Right or something? But what cracks me up is that the people that work at Neiman Marcus act like they are so rich and too good for their customers sometimes. Then if they are so rich then why are they working in the first place? I shake my head. Anyway, I didn't get my Mocha Frap at Starbucks because it was kind of chilly out so I just got a hot cocoa, which is equally as good. The first store we hit up after Neiman's was Hollister. And dammit, I did not bring my flashlight this time. I guess there was some ordeal going on earlier because they had both the guys and the girls dress in the same dressing rooms. My sister was walking around in this Hollister bikini and these guys were all drooling at her and I gave them this look like, 'umm.. do you mind?' Take a picture, it will last longer. I don't like guys starring at any of my sisters. I love my sisters. And I've always been over protective over them. So she ended up buying them. I found these new vintage shirts and the one that says Bigger Than Texas is my favorite. It has the state of California on it and a little icon of Texas inside of it. My sister bought a jacket and this mini skirt that has a flower on the side of it at Abercrombie. She looks like a cute little Hawaiian girl. I guess that's in style now. I see a lot of girls wearing them. I can use all these tips for my degree in the Advertising field. I know that all this is really helpful. But some people are really into it and its sad. Like Paris Hilton and her damn purses. Do you really need all those expensive purses? Comon now. It's ridiculous. We laugh about it!! Anyway, it's time for me to relax and watch these movies. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Later guys!! Here are a few links: checkout Jenn's site: Jenn <- Updated New -> Erica :checkout Erica's new site!! | | |
