Completion

I have completed a project I set out to get done by new years and i am burning it to dvd right now.

LOVE

"bring the light"

I'm so happy to have it done and looking forward to hearing and watching people view it.

Skyline

It’s a skyline worth looking for. It is worth writing about, and today it’s worth every word from my mouth. Looks like a half moon until the streaming deep blue gray clouds reveal it’s as full as a new mothers heart. The moon tonight reflects my feelings towards love. I’m full of love. I’m lost in this feeling and right now it fills my ears. “Love is what I got” and this was no accident. This is a sign, a symbol, a reminder, to have faith, and caress this moment and conceal this love from empty, solitary mornings.

And like the moon I’m full. I’m of energy to fulfill goals laid out before me. They aren’t simple, and the pressure will cause nausea. The deadline will cause sleep deprivation. But it is worth it just like the skyline.

This skyline is worth comparing myself too. I am full of myself. I can be this person I am today, everyday, if I conceal this love and power myself with deadlines. “Today is the greatest day I’ve ever known”

Ouchies

My back is sore, my knees are bruised and so is my hip but after finally playing racketball in over three weeks, it is all worth it.

Doubles was a ton of fun. Singles was challenging but really fun. We popped Kyle's cherry on this game today and he thanked me for it. He was pretty darn-diddly-arn good too.

MD, Kyle, and PW came by for a while, then we all headed back out to The Oak. MD made some very questionable looking hashbrowns but thanks to Velveeta they weren't to bad.

It's now one:two three and time for bed.

Bliss

I am currently addicted to Hey Ya by Mat Weddle. Go to www.seeqpod.com and you can listen to it there.

It brings back very happy memories of my trip to AZ in March. I can smell the fresh morning air tonight in my bedroom, this December evening. I can see the curtain blind lifted just above the window ledge. Then the rush of the air through the car window down Alma School to Wal-Mart.
There was a girl, cute and hugable, buying red solo cups. Memories of that trip are forever carved into my soul and this song brings them to the surface.

Do you like my Holiday Card in the Salgat Art Studio?

kyle has...

...inspired me to write more often. As he says, "I enjoy reading your shit."

So look forward to reading any random poetry that leaks out of my head and into this laptop. Take it for what it is. Connect to it in your own way. Some of it may be sad and some may be happy. Some may be serious and some may be silly. Hopefully you're entertained.

blind
my vision is gone and the battery is too
wel'll see if this makes sense tomorrow of the
misspellings will f'' it
making it undreadablke.
have ideas for storys and poems
i'll begin working on some
tomorrow.

She

Look for Her,
look for togetherness,
and my eyes go numb,
but in the end
it is BEAUTY.
Her loveiliness brings me home.
It's what I look for
and someone will see this
and someone will not understand
But She is what fixes ME!

CONQUEST

i strung my 1,000 racket of 2007 today at work! Despite my foot hurting and just hurting in general, i've rocking the the sha-poopy out of the pro shop to get there.

HELLS YEAH!

Hunger...

...it is what describes me.

"Pocket full of shells!" or maybe "Laser to your face!", you choose.

Receiving drunk phone calls are the best. Whether it’s someone you don’t know that well but apparently got friendly with or your boss calls reaping news, they simply rock!

So I’m working on two projects. One of them for the DCTC. It is coming along slow but productive. The other I’ve finished and am now trying to get on Youtube and Facebook. It is of MD playing HALO. HILARIOUS!!!! You have to see this, it is, in one word A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! It will make it in the visual edits section to the right and it may never, ever leave it.

I’ve got the song When It’s Over on repeat, by NONPOINT. Have I ever said I love NONPOINT. Well I do. I do. I feel very productive but I’m probably going to crash soon. Must remember to turn coffee pot on for PW.

Sometimes I freakin hate YouTube. It’s taking forever for this video to load, even the smaller one. Uploading this stuff has to be the most annoying crap to deal with ever. Maybe I just need to be more educated.

Mark, I want my own webpage for this stuff. HELP!

Bird feed...

John suggested I bring in the peppers because it looked as though they might grow year round. However today I saw a cardinal eating off one of them and I've decided to stay lazy and let the birds pick them to death. Sorry John, no peppers for you.

"Everything, everything is magic"

Sheri came over last night after she got out of work. We made nachos, with lots of cheese, LOTS! Then we took our left-over nachos, pan and all, over to Ty and Even's. They liked the nachos but I think the buzz they were wearing might of had something to do with it.

We played 5 games of beer pong, only drank one beer. It was mostly for funzies and it was funzies.

It happened today...

in a way that is familiar to theses eyes.
I was given one of those accidental signs.
And its a reminder of glutenous actions.
It is now a dirty memento.
I know I'm not alone, I know this.
I fight it and I go so back and forth,
it scares me clinically.
But who isn't worried about their own sanity sometimes?
Who doesn't flip flop like a dying fish now and again?

I realize the statement in my head is true,
it causes me to fight out loud,
but truly nothing can stop me.
I'm fighting shit that isn't worth it.
Acceptance, Acceptance, Acceptance
It is key.
Weak is the person who doesn't adapt.
Worthless is the person who doesn't ask questions,
argue, or fight.
To roll over and die is pathetic.
Only so many honestly deserve pity.
Get over it. Get over it.
I'm over it.
I'm back!

Ripping...

words from my skull,
and pushing them together,
seems to take out some this frustration,
some of my ignorance is lost in these words,
and I feel better,
like I'm screaming.

Currently...

running circles in my head
makes my stomach queasy
frustration is abound
and I don’t know what to do
about this loneliness
just so much convolution
it’s pacing through my body
and the hatred in my chest
has returned with a new pick ax
looking to chisel its way back into my heart
finding a home it once new
many years ago
my body is changing and
it’s hard to filter the anger anymore
complicated, destructive genes
carry more than they should and
I’d wish the statement I repeat
was true but sometimes I give up on it
I find myself writing these emotions
Knowing this isn’t
who I am
Knowing this isn’t
who I ever want to become
and it feels better to write it out.

And with time
Determination,
Faith,
And devotion,
I will find my path!

"You got me running & hidin all over town."

Some of the best five days I’ve had off in like, FOREVER!

Friday
I finished work and went to a costume party in Saginaw with the entire gang.
Highlights included:
SpaceGhost put gas in the van.
Kyle puts on a show.
We escape from party with no repercussions.
MD’s mojo.

Returned to The Oak where I was able to begin drinking. It was a rad time.
Highlights included:
Single Barrel Jack
PW’s version of the Walls of Jericho
Karen’s bottle of magic OJ
Melly’s Pancakes
MD’s mojo was still workin
Club P-Dub

Saturday
It started with a hang over. (surprised?) Eventually found some food with Kyle and then gathered things up and traveled to Grand Rapids to see T-Dawg and Little E. Special guest star: YODA!

We went to this place in downtown GR called The BOB. It was great and sophisticated.
Highlights included:
Four cheese macaroni w/chicken! Good god ya’ll, mmmmmm…..
Appletinis
Dancing (pretty much looked as uncoordinated as you can imagine)
Mr. Grinn’s Comedy Club
(T-Dawg told them it was my B-day and I told the comedian I was turning 35. He said he could tell by the receding hair line and pot belly. Then I told him I was single and told the ladies I was available. You could hear a pin drop. It was pretty funny.)
Comedian Ryan Bellville – “I like drinking games. I made this one where every time I feel empty inside I take a drink. ….. I win every time."

Sunday
Little E made a super good, really tasty homemade breakfast. Eggs, bacon, toast, and fried potatoes. Then we played a little tennis. I really need to practice and hit the gym. Fer realizes.

I left T-Dawg and Little E’s and stopped in Lansing and spent the rest of Sunday with Mark-O. We got a pizza and watched the Lions’ games. Holy crap, did they ever lay the wood on Denver.

It was really great being able to spend some time with those guys. I don’t get to see them that often and I’m glad they weren’t busy this weekend. It made me feel euphoric.

Returned to The Oak late Sunday night and it bled into Monday morning.

MD, Kyle and I stayed up listening to music and singing songs. It was super awesome. We made it until PW had to get up for work at 420. MD planned on scarrying him when opened his door but PW got the best of that situation by whipping the door open and yelling “BOO!” in MD’s face. Eventually went to bed after a few games of hockey with Kyle.

Monday
Hung out with Kyle and MD for most of the morning. Kyle and I played some guitar hero. Once PW got home, after helping clean out the shed, he and I went out to conquest the country side. Took a couple pics, one of them is in the Salgat Art Studio. Once back home he played some Halo with Trumpet and I bummed around the web, eventually watching the Ranger/Flyer game in black/white and sitting in a $5 old man chair - classic.

Once MD and Kyle got home, we watched V for Vendetta. Love that movie, just love it. MD tapped out early, he is pretty much a *********. (******** = my inability to find proper adj.)

Tuesday
MD smoked me in a few games of NHL 08, back to the strategy drawing board for this guy. Kyle and I went and had lunch with SA at Jimmy Johns. Lovely food, for an expensive price. Stopped by Target and picked up the new Nonpoint album, Vengeance. It is heavy, almost metal. I do enjoy it, we will see just how much it grows on me.

Trumpet returned to The Oak with a 50 inch DLP – HD – ZJ capable TV!!!!!! AMAZING! Thank you to Trumpet and MD’s parents. Can’t wait for Sunday.

I made it back to APT which was freezing. Jer, Melly, and SA came over. We hugged it out, nice. Watched Chuck, Heroes, ECW, and Rules of Engagement. All very enjoyable.

I’m looking forward to getting back to work. I think my back is cramping from all the sitting around, but it was joyous. Just joyous.

Black Mamba

Maybe it is because I haven't really eaten yet today but this Yoplait strawberry yogurt is heavenly!


Going emo tonight, pic to come.

Scary Face

So this Halloween morning I went to my fridge and was scared out of my boxers. I forgot to buy MILK, and therefore had no milk to put in the cereal I had already poured into a bowl.


Now what, I say, now what?

Not fit for sheering.

Friday night was a good time. Met up with Shely and went to a Halloween party. It was a group of Melly’s friends and it was fun. I wish we hung with that group more often and maybe we will, maybe.

I worked Saturday, tournament, and it was really slow but fun. Got to hang out with Ryan and talked with a girl I hadn’t seen in a couple years. If I knew how to close I might of gotten a date with her.

Saturday evening The Oak house and others came over to play some Mario Party. It was a good time, calm but that was a decent change from the past few Saturdays. Looking forward to this weekend, however. Received a call from my r****** sister. HA! HA! HA!

Worked Sunday, easy again. Watched the Lions win. Went out to The Oak for Spaghetti Sunday and wrestling ppv. Listened to MD put together the best verbal assault on a customer service worker ever. It was radical. Then when the wrestling on tv was done, the action in the trunk of The Oak was just beginning. Video will explain the rest. Wings win as well.

Overall it was a great weekend. My toe hurts but is healing and I am so so so so so dumb for waiting so long to get it taken care of. I have a busy week ahead of me but I think I’d rather have that than nothing to do. Weird.

Chicken Soup

I went to the ER today and had them take care of my ingrown toenail. They numbed my toe and then proceeded to take off the entire nail. So I'm down to only nine toe nails. The other one should grow back in a while. I'll put up a picture once I take the bandages off.

Dark Blue October

The following events ARE in the past. By bringing them up I am not trying to open old wounds, so please DO NOT take offense to anything. I am also not saying I did not do anything wrong during these events.

This is a therapeutic writing/blog entry. A way for me to dump some of the trash rolling around in my head during this month of (adj.). I can’t find the right adjective without over/understating what I want to say.

Also, not all of these events are on the same traumatic level, but not happy things for sure.

October 2000 – I see my Uncle Ed for the last time. I was picking Greg up to go see a football game at Western Michigan with Beth, I saw him sitting in his underwear at 6 in the morning on the same counter top I’d seen him sit on for years.

Late that evening we were called and asked to come home because something was wrong. Arriving at Greg’s again we were told my Uncle Ed had died of a heart attack in the late afternoon.

October 2001 – I can’t remember anything tragic here, but would like to note that when I stated I hated this month to Whitney, she pointed out to me that I asked her out on Sweetest Day of this year. So not only bad events have taken place in October.

October 2002 – I currently cannot remember what took place during this month that was tragic, but I’m pretty sure there was something.

October 2003 – I was lied too my face by my two closest friends about something that should have been easy enough to tell the truth about. This was a real wake up call in my second year of college.

October 2004 – Lots of yelling for the entire month. Then drama, more yelling and drama. It came to an end when Marissa and I moved out of the house in Auburn. But that started some of hardest interactions I’ve to deal with as an adult (20) which led to a split in friendships.

Also, another tragic death in the family.

October 2005 – No one specific thing tragic event took place in this month that I could recall, however there was some inner turmoil.

October 2006 – This was a pretty fun time with the Tigers being in the playoffs, however, Daisey, the shit-zu I grew up with passed away. Only a few weeks after that the other shit-zu, Dusti passed away.

October 2007 – change. I get a phone call from my dad this morning and he tells me that Daffney has died. No one called this week to tell me she had been sick. I’ve been pretty busy this week but I should/would of found time. I was closer to her than the other canines, she was my friend and Dad has said many times, she didn’t have many.

So now that you’ve read this, if you find yourself asking questions about these past events please go back and read the disclaimer.

Other greatly unhappy events have and will happen outside the Month of October. And great things have joyful significance this month as well – Dad’s Birthday, Parents Wedding Anniversary.

The thing is, I just get this overwhelming feeling that something unforgettable is going to happen during this month as opposed to any of the other 11.

Only 12 days left.

I love TV!

This week is premier week, for most shows anyway. Lost doesn't start until Jan. Here are a few things I watched so far. All NBC.

Chuck
Stars Kip from Less Than Perfect. This was a really funny show. He saw a bunch of crazy subliminal messages about government secrets and now a hot blond girl is going to protect him.
Looking forward to the banter between he and his best buddy. Plus his sister is hot.

Heroes
I'm re-watching last season and watching the new season. The first episode was good but more will be better. I think my favorite story line is Peter and Nathan because I like the brother being there for his brother. And Peter is sweet with his Rogue capabilities.

Bionic Women
The scene with the evil OG Bionic Women was sweet. The whole Timeout thing was dramatic and well done. Looking forward to more scenes like that. And no offense because, I'm not the hottest human alive, but couldn't they of casted a little hotter Bionic Women, one who looks like she sleeps and didn't just leave sparing round De La Hoya? Just sayin.

so....

.....I had one of the most emo days at work in maybe the entire time I've been there. Not getting into details here, that'd be unprofessional. Just kinda poopy.

Wicky Wicky Wild Wild

Friday morning started with Wake Up Midland which is where we debuted the video I put together last week. It was really early for this guy but it went super well. I think the business owners there liked it and I hope it brings some sponsorships to the Tennis Center.

Friday night was fun at MD's. PW was pretty messed up and hilarious. Spent the night on the floor because of his allergies he did. Good times.

Saturday afternoon was the surprise party for my parents 40th Wedding Anniversary. They were very surprised. The venue was great, lots of relatives were able to come. The slideshow was entertaining. I got to play dj. I cried a little. I'm pretty emotional when it comes to mom and dad. I'd like to thank my brother and sisters for doing such a great job on Saturday.

After the lunch-in I went to mass with the rents and B&B. I was really tired but glad I did and it's something I am going to do more often.

Went back to MD's Saturday night, received a fun phone call from T-Dawg in Meijer, and PW signed me up on Jellyfish.

Sunday morning woke up early again and went with the family to the Detroit Tiger game. (ps. resmer if you happen to read this sorry I didn't call, got wrapped up with the fam)

So now I'm finally home and happy to be. Watching the Lions game, currently at half time. Life is good, but I wish I had sloppy joes and mashed potatoes.

ps. can't wait for redwing training camp Saturday.

Today is a day like none other

So I'm going to start up this blog again, and I'm doing so for a few reasons.

- friends
- family
- jesus
- and now that I'm on the computer so much more for work, I have the time, hence the new title.


If somehow you have not heard I started doing video production work with the Tennis Center. In the past two weeks I've also done a project for the Community Center.

So far, except for the stress of wondering if they will like the work, I love it! For many months I didn't plan on doing much with my Delta experience, but an opportunity changed that.

I saw 11 slug bugs yesterday. TS

Jer rocks, thanks for scanning in those photos. You will be paid in BWW.

Looking forward to MD's Friday night. Should be fetch. Maybe this time he will aim his pong shots instead of just whipping them.

Peace

Last Night

It is interesting when the world you know is turned upside-down. This might happen with a phone explaining the death of loved one, news from the doctor that it IS cancer.

Tonight my world is on its ear but the cause isn’t as devastating or life changing. Sometime after 11 pm my power went out. But not just my APT or my building or even this complex. When I gaze towards my patio door it is a giant black hole. There isn’t a street light for miles. Occasionally the world I could view with ease due to safety lamps is lit up with a passing car. Once they pass by I’m back to nothing.

If someone said to me, “Let me show you what the world was like when dinosaurs roamed the earth.” I would have no idea they would just turn off every light and boom goes the dynamite. This is what they saw. This is what many saw before we ran voltage to almost every corner of the Earth.

It is amazing. It is glorious. It is a dark coffin out my patio door and I’m the beaming with rays of enlightenment.

I need to poop, beth this post is mostly for you.

Had a great day despite the rain. Bought some much needed shorts a few t-shirts and then went to the loons game. Talked to uncle mike good times. Sat through a like 2 hour rain delay, little boring there. JR and PW ran like little hamsters from right field to first base, i failed to record it. I suck. Did some random heckling. Got the wave started with only 100 people left in the DoubleD.

now off to bed to wake early and go to ma and pa to make sure things don't get to stinky there.

What do you want to do tonight PW and Matt Dude?

Beauty

like my hair? Take a photo!

The Great Lakes Loons

On April 17, Tuesday, the first 1,000 fans at the GLL game get this nifty backpack. Tickets are $9.50 or $7.50. Not sure when we may have to buy tickets, but we can get them ahead of time for only a dollar per ticket extra (price listed above includes the one dollar.)

IS ANYONE INTERESTED?

AZ Adventure: March 12 - The Arrival Part Two

AZ Adventure: March 12 - The Arrival Part Uno

AZ Adventure: March 11 - The Drive

I think I might start showering...

...before I go to bed. Just a thought.

I turned 23 last Monday. I had a great birthday. It was fun. Um...I suppose there is more to say about what I did but really it boils down to one thing - Clyde's was CLOSED! We will go back for Greg's birthday though in May.

I've been playing a bunch of racquetball with the Matt Dude, PW, Chris, and JR. I'm investing in a knee pad for my right knee. Each time I go down to get a low ball, I smash that knee into the gym floor. I am developing a permanent lump and bruise. But having a ton of fun.

I've also given up alcohol, pop, and as many sweets as I can for lent. (for example, I still eat granola bars, chocolate chip style) So far it is going well. I'm just trying to take a little better care of myself. Hopefully, this is a good start.

What else? I leave for Beth and Ben's on Sunday and fly Monday. So if you hear about a plane going down Monday, please call and see if I'm ok. Actually, I don't know if I will be able to use my cell. I still have to check with Sprint. But I know I will for sure be on the Internet at Bethy's. And I will update often. I'm really looking forward to my trip. I'm sure you will all miss me tons.

I've been listening to music a lot, as always. Just throwing that out there. I bananaed the new Sevendust album and their old one, and Buckcherry and I'm going to be giving them a listen of the next few days. Sevendust and Nonpoint have similar styles.

Every day, every hour, every minute and every second that goes by, we're closer to spring. Which means closer to riding my bike around town and the rail trail. Yep, lets all smile together.

This Friday night we are having game night for a few hours and then going to see 300. Can't wait for that movie. I would also like to note that when I get home from Beth's on the 21st, I will be going to the new TMNT movie on the 23rd. Even if for some reason I go alone, I will see it then. Then probably again that following Tuesday when its $5.

I went and saw Wild Hogs with my parents and Greg today. I love my Mom and Dad. They are very cute and operate in total contrast sometimes.

GOOOOOOOOOOOO WINGS!!!!!!! Can't wait for the playoffs. How bout that game tonight Mark-O?

Well I think that's it. Sevendust is calling. There a little something I wrote about my Bday here. I haven't written to much lately, been creatively stagnant. I did make this shirt design for JR's Bday though.





I also made this for my bathroom. I'm going to get it printed 22in x 28in.

10th grade flashback

The song that is above this post has special meaning to me this week. Next Monday I turn 23. Damn that's too old to still be a nobody. Anywhoot, I vividly remember singing this song in my head while walking through the halls my Sophmore year at PHS. I can almost remember what I was wearing.

"I'm 23, on the verge of spontaneous combustion" Really, I'm 23, trying to remember where 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 have gone. I'm not totally sure what Mr. Boyd meant by the verge of spontaneous combustion. It may mean he was ready to burst on the music scene. It may mean he was angry and on the brink of kickin' some ass. The answer may lie within the next line, "woe is me."

I'm still working on what it means to me, check the poem page this week to see what I came up with.

Great Movie!!!!

So I've created a separate blog to keep any of my poetry and stories. It is here. There are Valentine's Day poems up, read them, comment please.

I saw Smoking Aces tonight with JR and Melly. It was awesome. Really good story. Loved the transitions and music. I kind of explained it to my mom like this- they a mobster movie and jacked it up for our generation, by adding loud music, tattoos, mow-hawks, strong women, and lots of shooting. It was good, highly recommended. I gave it an A in my list to the right.

The Grammy's

So I was watching the Grammy's until I got pulled into the vicious web.

Anyway, this girl named Corinne Bailey Rae performed with some other guy and John Mayer. She was just awesome. I ran to the computer and bananaed her album. I'm listening to it right now, and I really like it. I like the song "Like a star". It is mellow. It's kinda R&B. I don't really listen to that stuff much, but right now I'm just chillin, I'm not trying to get pumped up for something like work. I need Incubus, Nonpoint, or 30STM for that.

The Wings kick ass! Can't wait for the playoffs. I hope I control my drinking better than I did when the Tiggers were in the playoffs. I am sure I will.

Almost done...

...my weekend inside of the week is almost here and I can't wait.

I've worked 11 days straight and I not complaining or anything, I'm just ready, really ready for tomorrow 1pm to arrive.

I am going to watch the wing game tonight and just relax. Nice. I only slept like three or fours last night. All of the sugar from the peanut butter cookies I made had my head rolling like I had taken some X and went to a rave. Does anyone have any extra glow sticks and knee pads?

ps - I want to buy a new bike this spring, and i want to ride the damn thing til my legs fall off. Yep, that's what I want right now. Maybe some tuna casserole as well.

Bluebird & Huntington

something happened at the corner of Bluebird & Huntington

this event took place this evening

you weren’t there to witness it

only He was there while I was singing

the house lit ahead of me

the tree outside tried to hear

but my Ford locked in my vocals

like holding back tears

I just belted out the words I knew

exclaimed the lyrics and exhaled with expression

there’s no concert scheduled for me

these shows just keep me out of depression

so, something happen at the corner of Bluebird & Huntington

no one except Me and God witnessed this episode

I know you didn’t watch

the Nielsen ratings said so

-AJS

Wanted...

...to put this in the Salgat Art Studio but it wasn't doing it justice. Click on it to make it larger.

This is a picture done by my friend Sheri.

.

Saw this on yahoo today...

...felt compelled to share it and write about.

This Death Do Us Part

Stay next to me sweet lover,
close your arms around me.
We won't be alone anymore,
I won't attempt to flee.

Just let your breath out slow,
keep your skin next to mine.
Lean in and give these lips a kiss.
Don't worry, everything will be fine.

-AJS

Cookie for me...

...there's gonna be none left for you.

eat out the cookie jar
cookie monster
don't let society dictate
what your instinct says
mow down those cookies
and care about your health later
if veggies were your thing
you'd be green not blue
your blue represents an emotion
an emotion that is strong
when one needs to eat cookies
needs to eat them by the hand full

-AJS

"Tearin' what I wanna do to pieces"

Had another strong weekend. These are a few of the things that were accomplished.

Went to a movie with the guys. Good to see and spend time with Shelson. It had been way to long since I had stepped into the theater. Watched Sarah B. get a bit intoxicated for her B-Day. It was a good time.

Finished watching Season One of Scrubs with Matt Dude and PW. Looking forward to Season Two.

Worked the first three days of my twelve days in a row streak. So far it hasn't been uber busy, but tomorrow is gonna be crazy for sure. Bev rocks!

Came home Sunday to a clean APT thanks to my weekend roomates Matt Dude and PW. Thanks again. Drank way to much pop, and when I say pop I mean pop. Super Bowl was entertaining. I want more Gaffigan and Siera Mist commercials.

Now I'm going to catch up on some much needed sleep.

I'm outie

SERIOUSLY...

F MYSPACE!!!

New fav...

This here is one of my new favorite cereals. It kinda of tastes like Honey Bunch of Oats, but doesn't get some weird film on it once its been in the milk for 3min. It stays crunchy til the last bite. I encourage you to try Honey Graham Oh!s

Please note that The Good Things are In The Middle!

What's a boy suppose to do?

This little diddy has to do with the picture of what I am dreaming about today.

What's a boy suppose to do?

Looking, lusting

wanting to waste away

pining to pick my place

groaning for green space

getting sore of gray slush

patience in me isn’t plush

Just go away winter

just get here spring

just bring in summer

before anyone here falls

-AJS

Cause...

I'm up way to late.
I need new shoes.
I should take my contacts out.
I'm going to bed now.

Fight or function?

If this is a game to you,

why don’t you call yourself the winner,

because each second that passes

our survival rate gets slimmer

My arms are out

waiting for your embrace,

but your elbows are in

with fists looking for my face.

Fight or function?

I’m looking for an answer.

When we get together

its just a building cancer.

So why don’t we just

fight, fight, FIGHT!

and swing, sweat, and swear,

screaming until we shatter lights

-AJS

Bring the warriors, bring on the main course!

So yeah, had a good weekend.

This is how I was woken up Sunday:

"Dude," said Matt. Short pause. "Dude," he repeated. I responded with "What?" He answered me with "IHOP". That's really all he needed to say.

IHOP was great! It felt really good to eat some super tastey breakfast food.

Just letting anyone who reads this know that next week I may be a bit out of touch. We have the Dow Corning Tennis Classic at the MCTC next week so I will be sleeping at work, well almost.

Still looking for the chisel. Can't seem to retrieve it. Its lost somewhere in my chest.

Going to the play this Friday, most likely anyway.

ps Whitney, I love that you are leaving me comments, but I have no means of getting in touch with you and frankly, it’d be nice if I did. adamjsalgat@gmail.com, what’s your's lady?

oh what i need and what i want...

...within the week I will have it all.

I need plants. I need a humidifier. I need moisturizer. I need to shed this snake skin.

That is all.

A Generation of Ketchup Wasting Children

I should be sleeping but I need to get this out of my head.

I was replaying what I did today, which wasn’t very hard due thee fact I didn’t do much of anything. However I did remember a conversation I had with Matt Dude at Big Boy.

Matt Dude he always puts to much ketchup on his hash browns or whatever he had on his plate. I said it is because we come from a wasteful generation. That we don’t think about how much ketchup we use because if want more we just stop the waitress and request. She then brings us more and we did nothing to deserve it. Now I know this might have really been a stretch to get to from the comment he made, but I really think its true.


We waste ketchup because,, at no point in my life anyway, did I have to go without it. If we didn’t have any when making burgers the answer was simple, head down to THE CORNER n’ get some more. (Doesn’t everyone have a CORNER by the way? Serious, if someone in you family said they just got back from THE CORNER you knew exactly where they meant. It might not be the nearest CORNER and it might even be on a CORNER at all but that is what it’s called.)

So in closing, Matt Dude wastes ketchup but it isn’t his fault because we as a generation take things for granted.

New and severely improved!

I live Cell Block 423 on the west side of town. My name is Adam Joe Salgat. I am 23 years old. I believe in taking care of my body, generally. I eat a balance diet of sugary cereal and not so sugary cereal. Sometimes - I combine them.

I workout here and there, while occasionally doing pushups - I can do at least 13, girly style. I shower every morning. First I use a facial scrub that is instead to be used before one shaves. Then I wash my hair with Sauvé for men shampoo. Then a very moisturizing body wash made by Target - it compares to Dial, I've checked.

Do you like 30 Seconds to Mars? Did you know that even though Jared Leto, the lead singer, moved to LA to start the band but first became a teen heart throb on My So Called Life? The song The Kill is about going insane. Its a great song, just a great song.

I am Adam Joe Salgat and Adam Joe - is going to kill you.

(Please note that is this makes no sense to you, watch the movie American Psycho. that is what I did tonight. It was good. Interesting ending, but still good. Strong narration and well written.)

Working fool, and writing

well not really but I did work like 11 hours today, so that was good. If want to get that Mac Book and camera and have money to go to AZ I best keep working.

Went to Meijer with Dino the Sister. Had a good time. Bought a bunch of food, can't wait to eat it.

I'm banana-ing the first for seasons of Scrubs, its gonna take forever.

Still haven't received any comments about the field turf, synthetic grass idea proposed for UF.

Sometimes I miss school because they would make me write. Like in creative writing we had to just sit and write. So this is what I'm thinking, someone challenge me to write something. ANYTHING, short story, poem, catch phrase. Subject, content, whatever. You set up the assignment and give a week to get it done.

Oh yeah, fake grass and putting greens.

Just letting those who care know...

...that the fire is back and its better than ever!

Nothing to much else is going on right now. Just me, haaaaaaaaangin out.

A new kind of feeling...

So welcome to the first blog on my new blogger account. I hope many of you will visit for reasons that are explained in my myspace account.

I've been thinking lately that maybe we should start playing Ultimate Frisbee on a synthetic grass, instead of the regular Kentucky blue we currently run upon. I can only imagine that the field turf, or fake grass would lead to less injury, and less grass stains.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
