Chipotle is nothing compared to the real stuff we have down here. I tried it one the West Coast somewhere, and a chain out of Austin - Freebirds! World Burritos - beats them by far. I'm not even gonna bring up the real thing my Mexican friends' families make. I get tired of Mexican food easily, though. I get cravings for stuff I can't get here, like good seafood.

I figured they couldn't be too bad if they co-headlined with Breathe Carolina, but that's ridiculous. And funny. And a little sad. If you have a dad with a whole [cabbage]load of money and no talent, you'll still be able to make crappy music. Us poor people just make crappy music in our garages.

Did someone call for wholesale candy? Yeah. I love Shockers so much. I can't find any wholesale ones that are worth it, though. Some offers have been intriguing, but never enough. I want a whole damn case of those babies. Or Fun Dip. Or Shockers. Or these nerds I had one time that were really good, yet I've never seen again. Also. Anybody remember wild berry poptarts? I would post pictures or youtube videos, but I don't know how now.

The Men That Stare at Goats
This looks great. I read part of the book, the humor isn't as obvious there. Or maybe I'm crazy and never actually read it, but I know I have it somewhere. Man, I haven't seen a single movie I've been looking forward to this year. Where the Wild Things Are shall break that!

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Good that you see it that way. NOW GO PARTY AND GET GIRLS WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Being single is easy. Every time you feel like doing something that makes you a man - DO IT. Nobody can stop you. Ahahaha. It's just great. Now, on the other hand, I'm just about positive my good friend's girlfriend is into me. I've flirted with her in the past, but I ride the bus to one of my classes with her, and she always makes an excuse to sit with me. That's the most obvious one, of course. It's an awkward situation I do not like. I believe I will just do nothing and hope it goes away. Thanks for the advice, me.

Trying out for our lower-level theatre play tomorrow. I'm not too worried about it, pretty sure I'll get a part. Not that many people auditioning, either. Should be fun. Only two guy parts, and both are cool. I also get to dress up fancilike. Doing a fake interview for one of my classes, so I'll take advantage of it all day.

What schools do you guys go to where you can wear hats?

Sticking out like a sore thumb will net you more attention. Incorporate bow ties into your wardrobe ASAP.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Simple answer might really be the best. Don't wanna drag it out. Especially pointing out faults and ending up fighting and hating each other.

Whoever made that had a ridiculously small hand. I could crush theirs with my pinkie. Anyways, TTanT. Can I call you Iced-T? I assume yes. Well, Iced-T, you just have to confront your mother about this. You're a sophomore, you definitely need to be dating, and driving will only help that. You'll be in college in two years, and does she really want you to be socially inept by then? Not only that, a socially inept person who barely knows how to drive? Shameful!

I'm not worried about doing well. I'm annoyed about walking. The only reason I can see myself doing badly is if I get frozen or hit by a car walking. Not that I haven't before, but I usually snag rides during the mornings, at least in winter. In spring it's kind of nice to walk to school. And in the afternoon, it's usually alright. It's only about a mile and a half of walking, so it isn't like a forced march. Just gonna be annoying tomorrow.

Should marijuana remain illegal? Why should it be legal?
I don't give two [cabbage]s what happens really; I don't smoke. I really just like popping bubbles. I've seen it at my school just as well as here, people just get too into what they imagine the world would be like if weed was legal.

Should marijuana remain illegal? Why should it be legal?
A-O. I find it hilarious how people just look at marijuana being legalized and think it'll be a chicken in every pot and a bong in every room. They don't look at how it will be taken advantage of by tobacco companies at all. It seems like nobody has noticed that. Yet, for some reason, I wouldn't be surprised if the government and bigger companies have. Of course it will still be sold alone, probably as "rolling marijuana", and for the first couple of years as everybody legalizes it, maybe it will be just great. But plenty of people who think, "Hey, alcohol is legal, weed should be too!" aren't old enough to drink alcohol. I believe that if it's legalized, penalties for smoking underage will be FAR more extreme than penalties for drinking. That's just common sense. Anyways. Think about tobacco for a second. How much of the population that enjoys smoking buys totally 100% natural, unaltered tobacco and smokes from a pipe? Grows their own? Buys rolling tobacco? Even dip and chewing tobacco aren't natural. It's just easier to smoke cigarettes. I have no doubt it will be legalized before I graduate. I also have no doubt that all your hopes will crash to the ground. Sorry, folks. Big business has big ideas for your bong.

I should have my permit now, but the administrators are [bleep]s and haven't signed a certification of enrollment or something for me at school. Anyways, I learned we're doing a theatre 1 and 2 play soon, tryouts are Thursday. Only two guy parts, but my teacher has talked multiple times to me about moving me up, so I'm not real worried about getting a part. PSAT Wednesday. They're making all sophomores take it in the district. Ummm. That's about it. Computer troubles are bugging me. Got some new shoes for 10 bucks. Sperry's. Brand sounds important. Woo.

I love dressing up all fancilike. I don't own much, though, apart from a pair of khaki pants, two nice shirts, a clip-on bow tie, and a crappy pair of dress shoes that are size 13 or 14 or something ridiculous. I borrow what I can from my dad and brother though, even though they're both a bit larger than me (my brother especially, he's 6"3 I think last time I checked). Still, I love it. Makes me feel good and important. I'm saying if I dress up when other people don't. Plus, dress shoes usually have little heels in them that can give you a couple inches. And even the scrawniest guy adds ten pounds of muscle in a well-tailored suit. All great pluses to dressing nicely. One bad thing, however, is that every school has [bleep]s. And they will bust on you (best case) or try and spill [cabbage] on your clothes (worst). I came pretty close to tearing some freshman a new [wagon] last night because he threw water on my dad's suit coat I was wearing. It's a 300 dollar ticket to the first person that swings, though, and I didn't wanna try my luck saying he started it. I really don't like that kid, but I have him in one of my classes tomorrow, so we'll see how hard he feels then. Anyways, I had a beautiful short film idea a couple days ago. The one I wrote a script for seems so stupid now. It's adapted off of a saying out of Amarillo. HILARIOUS. Ish.

Fighting An Open Liquor Ticket
Only chance is getting the ticket thrown out over the court date. Otherwise, you're screwed. Not even gonna comment on the rest of the idiocy.

Gaining Muscle
You should probably talk to your doctor, first. He'll probably have advice, if not a list of people who can help you recover. If you've had major back surgeries, you shouldn't be working out like someone who hasn't had those problems. For all we know, you might fall down and hurt yourself after a mile run.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
It's the best place to start, I believe. I know plenty of places online I could point you to, but I generally don't tell anyone about them until they've read the book. And obviously you haven't read it, because if you had you'd know that the term "shy" is used by average guys scared of rejection who want to find some sort of personality trait that explains their inability to be social. It's like that trend that popped up lately where anyone who isn't social and plays a lot of videogames claims they have Asperger's Syndrome. Not saying there aren't people who are literally scared of social interaction (or have Asperger's Syndrome), but the number of people who claim they have it far outnumbers the people who do. I personally prefer the Cocky Funny method, but I haven't found a personal favorite place to read up on it. You really have to figure a lot of it out on your own with some basic instruction. Could buy some e-books, I think David DeAngelo's is popular and covers Cocky Funny in depth, but I haven't read it. Direct Game isn't bad either if you think you have the stones for it, but I don't even know who coined it, so I can't point towards a book or anything either. My brother has a 16gb USB drive full of stuff like this, but he took it with him to Dallas. Bummer.

NASA Launching Spacecraft at the Moon
Yeah, I showed that to my journalism teacher. We watched it several times, laughing at the guy a whole lot. Bummer. The video was pretty cool, though. Not as cool as I'd hoped; the picture isn't great. But still cool.

Weightlifting - Your RL STR Lvl :D
I'm much stronger than I thought I was. I was surprised. My friend, who's a starting guard for our football team (only JV, but still) tried to tackle me today, and a was able to break him without too much trouble. I was excited. I actually weigh about 5 pounds more than him, but considering he works out every day, that isn't bad. I haven't done a real workout in ages, though. Last extremely active thing I did was exploring a canyon last weekend. Of course, that isn't that easy (or extremely tough), but hey. Another friend of mine broke 250 bench AND 400 squat today. Ridiculous. We all say he went on steroids because he got really muscular between middle school and high school, but he's really just worked hard as hell. He pretty much just works out at home. He's a really cool guy, too, I've only started hanging out with him a lot recently, and I'm kinda disappointed I didn't start sooner.

President Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize
Yeah, I don't really get it at all. Oh well, I never cared that much about that prize. This just proves it's really all political.
