Happy Halloween, and welcome to one of my more favorite holidays. I do not know why I like Halloween so much. Perhaps it is because it is in my favorite season...Fall. In the fall there it is as if there is magic in the air. The air is crisp, the leaves are changing colors and falling to the ground. You can wear whatever you want without worring about putting a jacket on...I dunno but I love this time of year.
On Friday I went to see Saw II with my friend Jenny. Saw II is pretty good, obviously not as good as the first movie, but this one had its moments. After the movie I went to Chili's to have a margarita, some beer, and chips and salsa with my friend Molly S.
On Saturday I ran a few erands and then went to Molly S's sisters house to get ready for Halloween. The three of us whent to McGoverns in St. Paul because Molly's brother in law is a manager out there. The three of us went out as country hicks from Alabama. Molly and I were incestous lovers, with rotten teeth...it was great. I think we stayed there the perfect amount of time as well. Granted it only allowed me to have two beers, but that was really all i needed. I did not feel like going out and getting super hammerd because I had to wake up early and come to campus for a meeting.
On Sunday I woke up at 9:00 so I could get to Campus by 10:00 and check my e-mails in preperation for my meeting. When I got to campus I had no problem finding the free parking which is great! Usually I have to park a bit away and then walk to the coffee house where my weekly meetings are held. When I got out of the car I looked at my cell phone to see how I was doing on time, but my clock was reading a wierd time. It said that it was 9:13 not 10:13 like I thought it was...hmmm...OH YEAH!!!
Apprently I am a complete idot and forgot about daylight time, when we get to change our clocks to an hour later...who does not like the extra hour of sleep? Anway that was not a big deal I had my laptop and could play around on the internet while I waited for the meeting.
Too bad my computers wireless internet is not working again!!!
Still the hours I had to wait were not a complete waste because I brought with me my research articles for my senior paper, so I finished reading all those and I hope to put my thoughts together tonight and then start writing the paper next Sunday.
My Restaurant has been closed now since Tuesday. It is a little frustrating that this is happening because I could really use the money. At the same time though I think it is a blessing in disguise because it is allowing me a lot of extra time to work on my senior paper. By the end of this week I hope to finish reading my research articles and have a few thoughts down on paper.
Halloween is coming up on Monday. Because of this I think most people will be celebrating on Saturday, however not me. I will be working on my senior paper I am sure because I did not make any plans. My lack of money caused me to decide not to buy any costumes this year so even if I did want to go out I could not. I had a sweet costume plan as well. I was going to dress up as David Bowie's character from the movie The Labrynth; yeah that would have been sweet. "You remind me of the babe."
Against my better judgement I started an account on myspace. I still cannot believe I did this because I always made fun of Tony for having a profile with them, constantly calling him a dirt hussy slut.
I decided to sign up for two reasons:
1. I am graduating soon and I am unsure if the University of Minnesota will continue to allow me to write my blog on this space seeing as how I will no longer be a paying student.
2. I was looking at profiles and there was a cute guy.
Reason number one is obvously the bigger of the two, however afte I signed up for the service I noticed that I really did not like the blog feature that myspace provides for their members. With this in mind I think I may check out blogspot.com whose blog look somewhat similar to mine.
last night I went out with Katie and Angel. We all went to Jimmy's and then Angel's boyfriend showed up and we headed to the Bird. I had sooooo much fun, we drank an aweful lot and so we had a really crazy time.
Today I have two meetings on campus; one at noon and the other one at seven tonight, so I am going to be here on campus for a really long freakin time...that sucks.
The first meeting was for my PR class and the second meeting is for the PRSSA, which I am no longer a member of, but I got dragged back into to help them plan for their regional event this year. I would rather go home and sleep.
Yesterday I found out that I will out of a job for one week as Bonfire closes for "remodeling” This is bad because I am going to be missing out on so much money...like $300 or over!
However there is a positive side to this mandatory vacation time. With the week off I will be able to go through all the articles I have gotten for my senior paper and start to organize my thoughts. Which means that next Sunday or the Sunday after that I can start to write the damn thing.
I only have about 8 weeks left of school and this thought is incredibly exciting simply because it will be the end of a very long period of my life and it will facilitate major changes in the way I am currently living my life. The end is so close I can almost taste it.... can you?
Friday I was working at Bonfire, closing the bar so I knew it was going to be a long night. One of the nice things about working that late is that you might as well stay and have drinks after work...So I did with about three other employees.
Ultimatley I ended up having something like ten drinks finishing my night at six in the morning!!! At this point I clearly was not in any condition to drive home, neither was my drinking buddy for the night. Our solution was to curl up on one of the benches in the waiting area and sleep there...So I spent the night in a restaurant!
I woke up in the morning around 8:00 and was still tired as shit so I went to the bathroom and came back to sleep as I was walking back I heard some of the cooks who were just arriving for the next day of work giggling about me and this other employee sleeping in the waiting area. I woke again at 10:30 as the servers started to arrive for work, questioning me about my obvious rough night.
After that I went home and slept until two in the after noon. The rest of the day was spent sitting in my underwear watching television. That is until nine at night when I decided to finally take a shower...kind of gross.
Sunday I had to come up to the University for a meeting with my PR group. Two of us showed up, one called and said that she ended up having to work, and one we told not to come because it was going to be too big of a pain for her to come in...Specially since we would be finished by the time she arrived anyway. The other person in the group forgot about the meeting, which was not a big deal; hopefully he will come to the next one.
After the meeting I got a phone call from Branden, a guy I have been talking to one the Facebook. He and I had plans for a GTKY that day so he was calling me to make sure we were still on for the day and I told him that I actually finished the meeting early.
I felt bad though because it was the first time I was meeting the guy and the first thing I say is, "I really need to send an e-mail to some people in my class, can I use your computer?" So I am sitting there e-mailing away to my PR group members and all the while he is sitting on his futon watching volleyball. Anyway I finished and then we went to Noodles and Company for some lunch, where we ended up talking for a little bit.
After lunch we parted ways and there is always that wierd area after you first meet someone...do you shake hands, hug, kiss, or do nothing? We opted for the do nothing just say goodbye and turn around. Anyway I had fun, I thought he was cute, however here are my post GTKY thoughts:
1. He is cute, and date material.
2. I don't think there was a vibe other than friendship between us. (which is fine I need gay friends)
3. He is 18; four years younger than myself. (I don't know why I feel that, that is a big deal...its really not, but at the same time...)
4. I just don't think he was that into me.
After the GTKY I drove over to White Bear Lake to go have a few cocktails with Katie, Tony and Barb (it was her birthday). We got to the bar at 4:00 in time for the happy hour which went until 6:00. When 6 rolled around we were going to leave and go back to Katie, but we ended up staying....UNTIL 10:30!! And at that time the late night happy hour had begin. I ran out of money and am now broke but I had a great time. We all went to bed at midnight because I was going to turn back into a pumpkin.
WOW!!!
The hate mail is seriously just rolling on in on my comment boards along with a shit ton of spam from stupid people with stupid websites. Anyways because I think the hate mail is important enough to not be hidden in the confines of the comment board, I am bringing it forth to shareth with the world.
"so who made you lord and master over What Floor Space Belongs To Whom, anyway?
advice:
concerts are for enjoying music. it kinda sounds like all you got out of the experience was an excuse to bitch about Other People- and so far as i can tell, all they were doing was... enjoying the music, unless one of these white dreadheads pissed in your gas tank on their way out or something.
for the immediate future, you should probably stay home behind your keyboard until you've developed enough social graces and thick skin to go out in public without developing complexes about how other people's hair looks.
p.s. my livejournal gets more comments than your blog, and that is pretty goddamned sad, son."
----Thank you for placing a comment on my blog. I really enjoyed reading what you had to say, and I am not lying when I say that I chuckled out loud.
----I am assuming that you stumbled onto my blog by accident, perhaps a google search? Anyway the entry you read is like many others on my blog. I like to take minor annoyances and blow them out of proportion. My sense of humor is very sarcastic, and dramatic, so when every now and then I like to write entries that reflect that; not knowing this about me (actually NOT KNOWING ME AT ALL) I can see how you may be upset.
----As for your comments about your livejournal having more comments on it then my blog. Thats fine, I don't write on here to compete with people to see who can get the most comments...Only people with extremly small sexual organs do that. Enjoy jerking your mini dill sized pickle!
"Um, yea. Never mind that white people had dreads LONG BEFORE blacks did (in terms of a desired hairstyle). Or that most of my dreadie friends and myself wash our hair several times a week....and most of us don't smoke pot or call ourselves "hippies" And yes, I am a white girl with blue dreadlocks. If you don't like other people, don't leave your house."
---Thank you for commenting. I did not know that you could wash your hair and maintain the dreadlocks...Its good to know. Thanks again.
"I can refer you to someone who says the best-smelling hair he's ever smelled in his life was dreadlocks."
---This one again is making reference the fact that you can wash your hair and maintain the dread style, which I did not know...Two things in regards to your friend:
---1. "I can get look at T-bone by sticking my head up a bulls ass, but I'de rather take the butchers word for it"
---2. I can't help but wonder if he would enjoy the smell emitted by me sitting on his head and expelling the worlds most retched fart...."Things that make you go hmmm."
"you suck at life. go pee your pants."
----I seriously almost did!!!! Thanks for the laugh, now people are looking at me like I am crazy!!
Alright thats all the hate mail for today, and all joking aside I seriously thank you for reading my blog and taking the time to comment. Your comments have been both infomative and hilarious!!!
Thanks Again

Last night I was studying with my friend Amanda at a restaurant. We were studying for our Communication in Marriage and Family exam on Thursday. While we were going through the study gude we were writting the answers in a word document on my notebook computer.
Suddenly our food was brought to us and I closed the notebook so we could eat. When I reopened the notebook after dinner the screen was black; I assumed it went into hybernation mode so I pressed the sleep button to wake the computer up...Nothing happened.
I proceeded to do many things to try and get the screen to pop back up, but nothing worked. So now I have another problem with this computer which pissed me off because at this point I am better off replacing the fucker. The problem is this computer is not mine, its my mothers. So in addition to buying myself a notebook computer I am going to have to buy her a new one as well. I don't have this kind of money.
After I stressed about this I decided to call my mother and I was on the phone with her the whole way home. She told me not to worry about the computer, she never expected to get it back anyway. That is so nice, one problem fixed, but as was the case last night the next problem was seconds away.
I pulled the car into the garage and put it in park. The next logical thing is to take the keys out of the ignition, however this was not to be. THEY WERE STUCK! Now this has happened before with my car so I did what I have done everytime it happens. I turn off the car, and turn it back on shifting the gears and then try again. IT DID NOT WORK!! Not only did this not work, but I also found it difficult to shift the gears in my car...FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!
I tried for one hour to get my keys out of my car, but try as I might, it did not work... So my dad tried, but also failed. I decided I would wait until the morning; again it did not work.
I ended up skipping school today to take the car into the dealership to have them look at it. It ended up costing me $165 for them to take apart my steering column and fix a loose wire. At this point I thought to myself I am already here I might as well have them fix the problem with my suspension in the rear tires. $141.00! Total with everything included It cost me $343.00 to fix my car this afternoon. On the plus side it is working like a dream...That is until my timing belt snaps, which should be in another 10,000 miles, or less...$525.00 I think I will ask someone else to do that for me.
Last night I went over the VIP opening of the new Axel's Bonfire in Blaine. It was nice to see the new restaurant, it is a beautiful one. I also got a glimpse of the new uniforms that they servers will be wearing and it reminded me of an article I once read about Axel's Bonfire.
In this article they said that Bonfire was a restaurant with split personalities, which I totally agree with. You walk into the restaurant and the décor is really nice. As you look around you think that this must be a more upscale restaurant.
As you gaze continues you notice that the bar has nice big screen TV's. (Personality split number one) What kind of restaurant is this? Am I in an upscale establishment or am I in a sports bar?
When you sit down you are presented with an enormous menu, with so much variety and items that you would see in a more upscale establishment. Then your server comes over and this is where the new uniforms present you with personality split number two. With the new uniforms the servers still get to wear jeans into work, but they are now wearing fitted t-shirts instead of the red button down shirts.
During the night they had a nice buffet of items for the guests to sample, as well as some servers who were walking around with huge trays of food for the guests to sample at their leisure. However I was a little disappointed when I tried to get more food at around 11:30 and was told that the kitchen had closed. This was weird because the restaurant was staying open until 2:00 in the morning. People are only going to get more intoxicated and it probably would have been a good idea to keep one or two of the kitchen staff on just to make pizzas.
A little later in evening I had an embarrassing moment. Earlier in the night I had pointed this guy out to my friends that I thought was cute, and they both said that they thought he was gay. So when I saw him again in the night I pointed him out to a few of my other friends and one of them got up and went over to tell him that there someone who wanted to meet him. No matter how much I pleaded with her not to have him come over she brought him anyway. I started to talk to the guy, he is 26 and his name is Neil. I made small talk with him for awhile until one of the regulars from the Eagan store came up to me and started talking to me. I was actually very grateful this happened because I could not think of anything else to say to this guy. So while I was talking to this new person the cute leaves. I found out later in the night from one of the piano players that knew Neil, that Neil is not gay, he is straight. So now because of my friend I probably looked like one of THOSE gay guys who hits on straight men thinking it will get him somewhere...I was so embarrassed.
Yesterday I went to my Grandmother's house for dinner so I could catch up with her and my Aunt and so I could drop off some things for her to take with her to Arizona next week, when she goes to visit my Mom.
As I got inside her place and took of my jacket, my Grandmother made a comment that made me feel a little gross. She said, "Oh Dan you've gained some weight!" Granted I am not morbidly obese now, however it made me feel bad because I know I need to start working out because I have developed a bit of a beer belly. Anyway I am not going to go on complaining that my Grandma said I am getting fat, cause she said it in a good way.
When I left Grandma's house Katie left me a text message saying that she was missed me and thought she would think of me when she was getting trashed at the Bird. She only sent that to make me jealous, and it worked. I can't wait to done with school so I can take a little time for myself and do the whole drinking thing...Maybe I can gain more weight!
Yesterday was a day like any other. I woke up and did my whole morning routine, making it to school in time for my first class, which starts at 8:00am. After that class, as I usually do, I went into the basement of Coffman Union to use their computers.
One hour later, when I finished using the computers, I signed off and headed upstairs to see if I could not run into my friend Amy and perhaps pick up a little coffee. I got on the escalator and all was normal until I reached the top.
When the top of the escalator approached I decided I should just walk the rest of the way up because it would be faster. I made the first couple steps alright, but then something happened and I lost my balance causing me to fall down in front of many other people.
As I was falling my leg continued to move as though I was still walking up the stairs and I cut myself on the "teeth" of the escalator stair in front of me. As I regained my balance I looked up to see the girl who was on the down escalator looking at me and smiling so I smiled back her...I knew she was laughing...Had I been in her shoes instead of my own I would laughed too.
I didn't notice that I was bleeding until I met up with my friend and the blood was dripping out of my toe. So I went upstairs to get a bandaid from the information desk, but they told me they were all out. Which was fine I could at least wash the cut in the bathroom...Of course I was expecting to see the bathroom empty and I must have looked pretty silly pulling my leg up on the sink so I could wash my foot.
I found a bandaid in one of my professors offices and decided to make my way to UCS so I could pick up some computer update disks that I purchased. However it stung too much to walk on my foot and I was afraid the bandaid would fall off so I was walking on the side of my foot. This caused my ankle and knee to hurt so I had to postpone my plans to pick up the new software. Work was pretty interesting yesterday as well. Thank god we did not get as busy as I wanted it to be or I would be in a lot more pain today.
My weekend sucked!!!
On Thursday night as I was going upstairs to go to bed my Dad told me that he was going to be taking Nancee to a resort on Lake Superior and that they would not be home until Sunday night...So I had to watch the dog.
That’s not a big deal, but I had plans to get ridiculously drunk on Saturday. The plans had not been set in stone for where we were drinking, but we had discussed drinking at Katie's house or Jimmy's for a little bit and then Katie's house. So I thought, "A party is still do-able, but I am going to have to call Katie and ask her if we can just do it at my house."
So on Friday I called Katie and left a message on her cell phone. I don't think her phone was working because she and Tony were in Superior drinkin it up.
On Saturday I still had not heard from Katie so I called her and something weird happened with my phone...it wasn't ringing or something, so I called Tony's cell and got his voice mail.
A little bit later Katie called and said that she had invited two more people to go out to the 90's with us. That was fine with me, but we had never discussed going to the 90's. Katie thought we had, and that was fine whatever, but as I hung up the phone with her I pretty much knew I would not be going out.
Again the plan was for me to get smashed with Katie, and at this point I would have to drive into Minneapolis, spend money that I couldn't afford to, and make sure that I didn't get so drunk that I could not drive home in order to take care of the dog. Because I had been planning on getting way drunk I knew that this would be too hard for me...So I called Katie and told her I would not be going out with her.
I felt really bad having to call and tell her this because she rarely gets weekends off and so this was a great time for us to hang out and get trashed. I think she was really mad at me as well for having to cancel but it was not something that was in my control.
Sure had I not gone out to a bar the night before with some girls from work to celebrate one of their last nights I would have had more money, and might have gone out to the 90's; however I had no clue we were planning to go out to a bar on Saturday, and the fact remained that I still had to go home to watch my dog because my dad has insufficient communication skills.
I ended up staying at home and not drinking, but Jenn came over and we rented some movies and ate pizza, so the night was not completely wasted, but I would have rather gone out to the bar with everyone.
My Dad ruined my weekend and look forward to the chance to do the same to him...My Dad knows I am moving to California, but he doesn't know when...Maybe I will just tell him the day before I move...That would be really hard though because I would have to hid all the boxes and I think he would notice me moving all my furniture.
