Holy crap! I just saw Mr. Hunter, our old P.E. teacher from Jr. High, at Safeway. I haven’t seen him in like AGES! I don’t think he remembered me, I didn’t expect him to. It’s been a whole what 10 or so years. Although he used to call me ”Alan,” when I gave him my name he said, ”I remember you, I haven’t seen you since you were this big. You’re all grown up now!”

…

I guess he was just talking about my age. I suppose I’m taller than I was in Jr. High, probably more wide. Grown up? No way! I’m still as much of a kid as I ever was. Mr. Hunter was one of the coolest teachers to ever have. He’s a legend in our neck of the woods. He’s my ”Mr. Feeny.” (From Boy Meets World A show almost as good as The Wonder Years) He taught us all alot about how to be strong Too bad he retired. Now, all that’s left is a myth; blood days, his stories of being thrown from a car and did a hunter and rolled to safety, crab walking the track, ”no, no, knucklehead!” all now just stories. Mr. Hunter, this one’s for you! Thanks for all the knowledge you bestowed upon us.

Ok, so I didn’t really do much this weekend. I did visit my grandmother in the rehab type hospital twice. I worked on her fence back at her house. I managed to step on a rusty nail with my left foot and had my Uncle rush me to a hospital. I didn’t know when my last tetanus shot was, my mom thought it was 5 years ago. So, to be safe I got one anyway. I think they said you need to have one ever 10 years. So, now, I have a small limp on my left side, and my arm is REALLY sore. Like as if yesterday I lifted weights or something. SORE!

Are lightsabers actually becoming a reality?!!?!? Too bad they’ll be like $30k – $100k. Star Wars Geeks 1, Real life 0.

Friday night at about 9PM I went with moO, my sister and Ronny to the drive-in. Holy crap, the drive-in? How long ago have you last been to the drive-in? The last time I went to the drive in was when I was like six years old. We took separate cars ’cause we didn’t want to sit in the back since it’d be hard to see. Good thing too because we wanted to see different movies and was able to .

So, we started out the night with Minority Report. PG-13 2 hr. 24 min. Wow, that was actually worth the money! Go see it! Spoiler? Click & Drag Heh, this will show up on iCHAOSi.com but not on GotAdam.com…. What bothered me was the fact that the title was Minority Report and when it came down to it, the Minority Report either didn’t exist, or wasn’t really even important to the story. I suppose it was important, just not used… Overall a really kick @$$ movie!

Second, we saw Scorpion King PG-13 1 hr. 29 min. Great action, ok story, GREAT actors… Ok, not the acting itself, as the dialogue came up a little short (it was an action movie, for goodness sakes). I’m sure the story itself is made up with the action… AND the actors. Primarily Kelly Hu… I guess the Rock too. Probably not winning any academy awards with this one, but hey, thumbs up!

We drove over to see Bourne Identity PG-13 1 hr. 58 min. I felt I was let down tremendously with this one. I mean it was a good idea, but the actual movie itself fell short of a good movie. I really believed it was gonna be a good one, but after we left it, I felt that it was too repetitive. He ran, they’d find where he was, he ran to find a new place to hide, they find him, and so on. I felt that the writers couldn’t really get a good end to the whole redundancy and it kept going on and on. However, the end was a good one. See it if you have spare time.

Ok, as you might have guessed. We did some theatre hopping. Seeing 3 movies in one sitting is really taxing on a body. At the end of the night it was about 4 am. That’s about 7 hours of sitting. I had a HUGE headache while driving home. It felt like a bad hangover. Overall, Minority Report – A, Scorpion King – B+, Bourne Identity – C+

Ok, so, I don’t ever write anymore, and there’s probably a good reason. I don’t know if it’s enough that I don’t do anything that would merit an entry. In any case that would be my reason. Blah, it’s so depressing not doing anything day after day, week after week. Now I don’t even have a working car. Well, maybe I’ll get it back tomorrow. I needed to get a new tire and an alignment. But, I have a feeling they f’cked up my lug nuts and stripped them. They want to charge me and extra $75 to cut off the bolt. WTF? You stripped it, YOU pay for taking it off and replacing it. Not to mention I shouldn’t be doing any of this in the first place since I have no job, nor a source of income. I think I need an alignment, however, as it will only make things worse if I need to get all 4 tires replaced.

Lately, I just stare at my laptop monitor searching for jobs and watching cable TV with moO, since she, too, is a loser like me without a job. Lately, all I do is watch Power Puff Girls, Star Trek (only when moO isn’t around, since she doesn’t like geeky stuff), or Who’s Line Is It Anyway. Incidentally, I’m watching TV right now. Surprise, surprise. Watching that new series, the Dead Zone. Pretty cool I guess. I manage to run on my treadmill every so often, but that’s about it. No hockey yet. Hopefully I’ll get in the summer league.

I’ve found a lot of jobs online. About 31 jobs in the past month and a half, I suppose that’s good… Well, perhaps not, considering I don’t get an answer from anyone.

I’m hoping some good will come to my life soon… Preferably, I win the lottery or something… Then again, I gotta play the lottery in order to win, so I guess that’s out. I guess I have to settle for getting a job. I have to wait until September to open a new unemployment claim. But, I’m sick of relying on unemployment. I want a real job. SOMEONE GIVE ME A JOB!

Blah, whatever. I HAVE been reading a lot, though… Unfortunetly, it’s been a lot of car stuff. Ok, so I read a little and played a little with HTML, XML, PHP, ASP, Photoshop. But, mostly about cars. Everything from naturally aspiration to NOS, turbo, etc. I suppose I should go back to reading on my forte…

Ok, enough bitching, I gotta go do something productive… Like play Playstation. I still haven’t even opened FFX yet. I played a little FF9 and Parasite Eve recently. Thus wraps up my life.

Which PPG are you? Quiz by Linnie Yang
Er, go figure… Thanks Linnie

This would be cool, if it weren’t … THAT … thing…

Um, what’s a Toyota Miata? Is that like the BMW Miata Z3?

Holy CRAP! Is this really him? Is this really THE Wil Wheaton?! I don’t really care. I just found it roaming around. I thought it was cool ’cause he’s semi-quasi-famous and he blogs like one of us!

I know it’s been a long time since my last entries, I’ve been really with essays and reading and junk. I really hate school. I’m allowed to, this is my blog, so? =P.

So, last Saturday was Jesse’s B-Day party SLASH Jesse and Shia’s House Warming party. Shia and Jesse just moved to the City (San Francisco). Boy was that a blast! I managed to get to the pad without any map or printout. Shia gave me directions beforehand but that all I had to work with. The secret is, I forgot the directions at home. I have a few to drink and boy is that ever fun. moO doesn’t like to be around me when I drink, I don’t know why… Um if you guys have any pictures email me, I want a copy! Ok, so, what did Adam do this time? Nothing too bad, I think. I just dressed up in Shia’s old costumes and stuff. I started the night with Shia’s clip on bow tie under the collar of my RL Polo shirt. Being a little too tame, I decided to rummage through Shia’ stuff some more (He wasn’t fully unpacked yet, I wonder if he even is now, a week later.) I managed to find in the back of his closet a bright red one piece Alpha Romero mechanics jumpsuit. Interesting, I must say. Yet, still a little tame. So, I put on Shia’s Dracula cape. Silly Adam, always has to be center of attention. Nah, I dunno if I like attention that bad. Oh well, I had fun, that’s what matters, right?

So… I managed to see Star Wars Episode 2 Attack of the Clones this last Monday… And I thought I’d have to wait a month or so to see it! I even got really good seats too! I guess this Star Wars wasn’t hyped up much. Sadly ’cause I thought that this episode was WAY better than the first one. Except for the love story, sure it needed to be told, blah blah, it just dragged it on. Damn, it’s another 3 years or so until Episode 3 comes out. I wonder if George is going to finish the final 3, (7, 8, & 9) Dunno if my mom was pulling my chain, but she said that Star Wars was to be a triple trilogy. Damn, as if 6 movies with the same theme isn’t enough. Silly George is milking it!
