"I think it's kinda funny how money makes a man grow"

Before I start I gotta give a shoutout to the Terri Schiavo family for fighting literally to the death for their daughter's right to life....I just learned the husband had been married to a diff woman for a while, so technically he wasn't even married to Terri for a while and so had no spousal "guardianship" over her......crazy. Love and Prayers to them and The Pope in his hour of need. What a gangsta. anyone who has been even within a mile of his presence knows what a powerful man he is and we will be losing a hero when he passes. (Now to the frivolous but more light-hearted material ya'll came to read)
Yea that's right I got my financial aid check today....feeling like I can buy anything....but I can't, so dont ask me for money. It's weird, I don't know why I get that mentality when I get my financial aid, like I can buy anything.....cause a lot of it's loans, so I'm paying it back later AT INTEREST, so it's an easier credit card basically. wack. Speaking of money I bought a lottery ticket for the lotto drawing on weds. didnt win. obviously, or I wouldn't be so excited about some measly financial aid. But it was nice to think maybe, just maybe, God would choose me this once. Until next time.
Anyway, this break was great and I must say I missed my family a lot more than I had realized. When we hung out we did the craziest stuff ever. Which is normal I guess....or is it crazy, even though it's normal for us? I dunno. But I realized this break why people say I'm crazy....cause I AM. I was helping my dad yesterday(Weds) with some kitchen remodeling, and then when I finished I got bored and decided I was gonna fix a massive swing my bros had made. See, they had dangled the rope between 2 branches that were lower than the one from which it was hanging, so the rope would hit it during the swing, slowing the swinger down. So what did I do? I climbed up 35 ft into a tree to chop those sons-o-beetches down. Took me a while cause I had to use a handsaw cause the chainsaw was too scary up that high. But when it was finished, we swung DAMN HIGH! it was worth it. I have some pics I'll show ya'll....I can't remember why I told you this story, and I'm too lazy to scroll up so I will move on.
I just hung out most of break, went to town once (yea I say "town" cause we have to drive 45 minutes to go anywhere worth going). I was gonna buy some kicks but I found out I had barely enough to cover rent for this month so I waited and just bought like 3 shirts from salvation army. Tightness. I got to drive my dad's subaru outback which is a sick car, everyone should get one, and I noticed something cool about that car. It's the only car I've ever seen that looks cool when it's dirty......definitely something to consider when buying it cause that does cut down on maintenance. On cars, I also woke up early one morning to my dad screaming from outside. I got up kinda in a daze and then went outside to find out my mom had gotten stuck in the creek that crosses the main dirt road a little ways down from our house while taking the kids to the bus, so I went with him on his tractor (that's right, TRACTOR) and we pulled them out of a freeeezing creek at around 7am. So that kinda sucked but was an adventure to say the least. If you guys are wondering if you've seen my house in some picture of Kansas in the middle of nowhere with a nice fence and pretty livestock grazing in some pasture....yea my house is about 5 miles closer to nowhere than that house, and doesn't have a nice fence or pretty livestock. Boonies, boondocks, sticks, middle o' nowhere, whatever you wanna call it, that's where I live. but down the dirt road more.
The night before I left, my mom said I could ask for whatever I wanted to eat, so I went and bought 6 pounds of london broil and bbq'd those thangs......damn that was tasty. and what's crazy is I think I ate at least 1 1/2 of those 6 lbs all by myself. I don't even know why I told you this, but it was one of the last things that happened with most of my family before I left.
Anyway, today was one of the longest days in my life. I woke up around 630.....got ready and finished the packing I had started the night before. I then just lazed around until it was time to go to the train. Got on the train. rode on the train. got to bakersfield. rode a bus. got to LA and waited......forever. No not really, but it was a long ass time. So long in fact I was considering buying a ticket on the Metrolink or the Red Line to get there faster, but I had already bought my ticket to irvine. So I waited. As I waited, a girl who had taken my bus was almost molested. Not even joking. She was only 15 and at least 8 guys checked her out in the span of the first 30 minutes we were in the station. I made it 9 but then we chilled and she ended up being really cool. Naw Im totally playin.....we did sit next to each other on the train but she actually asked me to cause those guys were still following her. And we were in one of those 4seater things with 2 other people so it wasnt just us 2.....I dont know why I'm defending myself, she was freakin 15!!!! Who would think of approaching a 15 yr old?? (if you're over 18 that is). Anyway, got picked up by Katrina, FAMA, and Karina. (The caps are for Fama, who asked to be mentioned in this blog.). Thanks again Katrina, 'ppreciate it.
But yea on the way back to my apt, FAMA invited me to go to a Hillsong concert in San Bernadino with her and Toni since they missed the one on Tues. So I was like "ok". and then 730 rolls around and we went. It was me, Toni, Mike Wu, and FAMA. I called Mattman, but apparently I was all confused and Oxnard is nowhere near San Bernadino, but I didnt feel nearly as bad about it when I learned Matt himself had not known this, and he's a born-in-Oxnard native. Anyway, the place we went to was a "church" but more like a college campus. Like for serious guys this place was ginormous. the main hall held around 1500-2000 peeps, and the place was packed. It was pretty cool. The music rocked, the band was hot and...wait did I just say they were HOT? meh whatever, they were.....and the place was crazy.....there were 3-4 cameras videotaping the whole thing.....one was even on a boom! it was a pretty expensive setup. After the rockin out, we went to TGI Friday's. Good stuff. We had a hot server....what is wrong with me???.....and lots of good food. ANYWAAAY.....on the way back I was hella falling asleep in the car, but when we got back I got all wide awake after a lil while....and so here I am at quarter to 4 in the morning and I'm finishing this blog. I have o say this was waaaaayyyy too long and anyone who lasted through all of it is a trooper and friend.....or a stalker, but hey it's alright, I'm not hatin'. I will be posting some pics after this just of random stuff at home so enjoy those as well. Peace and God Bless.
btw......FAMA (is that enough Kristel?)
