No more blog starting now...

It was a fun run...

ok, starting now...

or maybe now...

now...

McClellan you sneaky bastard!!!

2008-05-28T20:30:00.000-07:00

I'm sure many of you have heard by now, but here it is again. Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan has a new book coming out and just a few of the oh so awesome pages have been leaked to the press.

McClellan throws this man under the bus.
And not just one of those namby pamby school buses. I'm talking one of those buses with spikes on the wheels.

McClellan confesses that the President forced him to lie on a number of occasions. He called the presidents selling of the war "Propaganda", and once overheard the president on the phone claiming "wasn't sure" if he had ever done cocaine. "We had some crazy parties back in the day" the president said.

Could it be that amongst all the lying and war profiteering the President actually hired someone with a conscience.

There are plenty more quotes that I seriously suggest you look up.

2008-05-16T11:01:00.000-07:00

I'm thinking about abandoning this blog. I've been writing here for quite some time and it would be strange to not visit here every day, but I think I need to pack up and move on.

Perhaps I'll just start up another one somewhere else down the line.

This is just what's going through my head at the moment, nothing final yet.

Lets try this again

2008-05-07T23:56:00.000-07:00

Here is a slightly more optimistic follow up to my previous blog entry.

If my previous blog is anything, it is an example of what SOME days are like for me. Every day of the week is different.

I just want people to know that I am not in a constant state of depression. The fact of the matter is that some days are good and others are bad. Today was one of those days where I felt that I needed to take a step back and understand everything. I'm not saying I've come to terms with what's happened to me. I'm just saying that I have a lot more to be thankful for. I bought a new car, I received a nice raise at work, and I played in a music festival with my buddy's band last weekend. Amongst all this I still have loving friends and family. I know I stated in my previous post that I don't have a lot of people to talk to sometimes and that's true as well. Some days I'm simply alone with my thoughts. But it's in hard times that the people who truly care about you step up, and many have and I am forever thankful for the support you all have given me.

Lets see what tomorrow brings

Up and Down

2008-04-29T17:58:00.000-07:00

It's been several weeks since Jamie left me. It's been the wildest emotional ride I've ever been on. For the most part I'm keeping my feelings in check, but other times it's too hard.

I just can't believe what's happening sometimes. Jamie and I had and honest to goodness relationship. We shared the good and the bad with each other because we knew we could. We truly understood the other's feelings. I could see she loved me, just be the way she would look at me.

I also understand she's in a very stressful situation right now, but I wanted to be the one to help her through it. I was going to be the person she could talk to when feeling down, cry with when feeling sad, and hug and kiss when she felt she needed someone close by.

I'm sorry about this post. I don't have too many people to talk to sometimes, so writing this helps me.

Goodbye... For now.

2008-04-15T07:53:00.000-07:00

I woke up this morning feeling so strange. It was snowing out my window, only one day after we had a high of 80 degrees.

Jamie left me this weekend. I've been talking to a lot of people but I also feel that writing this blog might be therapeutic. I miss her, I miss her so much. My heart feels like it was ripped from me and taken to Las Vegas. I love her more than anyone on earth, and it's the worst feeling in the world knowing that person doesn't love you back. It feels like a burning hole in my chest that I can't put out.

I can't stop crying. Just yesterday I couldn't even walk down the stairs without stopping half way, sitting down, and sobbing. What do I do?

Even recently we felt so close. On our vacation we visited San Diego and talked about living there. That was only two weeks ago.

As I'm writing this, the first earthquake I have ever felt in my life has just shaken the entire house violently...

It's hard for me to write this. Especially since my blog demographic is mostly her friends and family. However, this might help close things with all of you. Just know that I consider you all great friends of mine.

I will love Jamie forever. All I can do is hope that she remembers what our relationship meant to both of our lives, and what it could've been.

Goodbye... For now.

2008-04-06T10:17:00.000-07:00

Things have been going well the past couple of weeks. Jamie and I went on a lovely vacation to San Diego and saw our friend April. Then we shot over to Tucson and saw the old gang.

The sad truth is, if you're going on a vacation to relax, visiting your family is the last thing you should do. Don't get me wrong. I had a great time, but we were on a very tight schedule in Tucson. Where as in San Diego, Jamie and I would just roll out of bed and head over to the beach.

In the end, the real idea was to get away from work and spend time with Jamie before she went back to Vegas. So MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! In fact, that mission was so accomplished that we even went to the mission's mom's house and slapped her in the face.

There I go again with my nonsensical rants...sorry.

BYE BYE BYE

2008-03-13T02:10:00.001-07:00

It's time to say goodbye to our lovely little friends over at KREN. On Tuesday Pappas Telecasting pulled the plug on it's Reno CW affiliate and I can't imagine why.

I mean sure their anchors and reporters didn't know how to read or write, let alone speak without a condescending tone. And you could not watch their newscast without seeing a technical glitch every few minutes, giving you the feeling you could've found equal or better quality on public access... and sure, every time after I've sat through a whole show I'd look down and notice that I've clutched the arms of my recliner so tight that they will forever hold the impressions of my fingernails...

seriously they will be missed...

So guess who's the only HD station in Reno/Sparks?

And what does that mean?

A: JACK SHIT!!!!!

2008-02-04T02:21:00.000-08:00

I did it!!

I went to the open mic night and it was great. I messed up a little but I think people really liked my set. I'm going to do it again sometime and I think I'm not going to be as nervous next time.

This is a maybe...

2008-01-31T03:47:00.000-08:00

I'm thinking about doing an "open mic night" on Friday.

I'm under prepared and I don't have that much time to practice.

Should I do it?

2007-12-31T18:39:00.000-08:00

STACEY IS DA WINA!!!!

2007-12-23T22:13:00.000-08:00

For once Ben didn't guess it. Mark this day down in history people. It's probably because he didn't play.

Well done Stacey...

Well Anne. You're the only one that played and you got it right. It's too bad you couldn't split the yucky sock with anyone. I'd better spice this game up a little.

2007-08-13T18:26:00.000-07:00

It's Monday and I just worked a 15 hour shift. I feel like this...

AND NOW... SOME STUFF

2007-07-15T14:15:00.000-07:00

- I think They Might Be Giants are the greatest thing since sliced bread

- I realized the other day that I fantasize about things that almost everyone has, like regular work hours and time off.

- Corned beef is just dandy

- I have a beard now

- I wish I had more time to write music because I always feel a great song coming on but I don't have time to make it happen... oh well

- Current favorite line in a song "Bumpin' my pirate hump. Rockin' my peg leg stump."

- My Kitty is damn cute

- The Executive Producer at my station got fired the other day, but that's ok because I didn't like him very much

- Sliced bread is the greatest thing since They Might Be Giants

Bye Bye Bye Bye! Bye!

This one is called "Larry".

AWWWW Shucks!

2007-06-08T00:22:00.000-07:00

I do believe we have a three-way tie. I say that because I know Ben was being sarcastic with his answer. So, there's only one way to settle this. I'm going to cut Lindsay into three pieces and send one to each of you. Who calls dibs on the liver???

On another note a very funny thing happened at my station. A friend of mine Ryan Loetcher is the Promotions manager at News 4 and he received a message that was left on his phone at 3am. It was a man stating that he was declaring his candidacy for President of the United States. He said we should immediately put it on the "Emergency Broadcast System". He claimed he is the great great grandson of Helen of Troy and he looked like a cross between Jesus Christ and Ala. He also said that his campaign slogan is "If the sky turns green in Tornado alley, run for cover because there's gonna to be a tornado".... Yeah I know.

STORY TIME!!!

2007-02-13T01:25:00.000-08:00

Once upon a time there was this guy
He saw a kitten and he threw it into the road
The kitten landed on a car
The car swerved off the road and off a cliff
The car landed in a lake
A fish flew out of the lake and hit a bird
the bird got caught in a vortex of wind
The vortex flung the bird to Hawthorn Nevada
The bird hit a man
The man fell down some stairs and hit a big red button
15 nuclear bombs exploded killing everyone within a kabillion miles
Except for the kitten who was launched into space and sucked into a black hole.

The moral of this story is...Don't fuck with shit!!!!!!

Here it is Ben(crossing my fingers)

GOOD VIBRATING GUT!!!

2007-01-27T13:21:00.000-08:00

It was not until I entered that building and felt the extreme lows of the bass drum resonate through my body that I realized a piece of my past was missing for the last 2-3 years.

It seems so distant, the last time I waited outside by a frigid brick wall in blow freezing temperatures just to see if there was any glimmering hope that they were selling tickets at the door.

I can't remember being over 21 and able to drink at a venue like this, because every other time I wasn't.

This was the fifth time I had seen NOFX and hopefully it won't be the last.

I purchased a shirt with the picture above on it, but instead of him giving the peace sign, he's holding a gun. I realized later that it might be a mistake to wear something like that in a "RED" state, but I still like it.

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Let me catch you crazy cats up.

- I went to a Halloween party, and I won the costume contest!!!!! Crazy stuff. I went as a member of DEVO

- Jamie and I moved into a new house. It's much bigger and not an apartment. Our kitty actually has a yard to play in. That crazy cat, I just want to squeez it until it dies.

- I sang some karaoke and danced the night away(several times).

- I won $10,000 and I spent it all at the arcade... that was stupid.

- I've decided that I'm going to make a weekly comic strip and post it on the coke machine at work.

- I'm about to finish my second album. I have about 8 songs and I need about 5 more. It's a concept album about a robot detective.

- I'm not feeling funny right now so I guess I'll stop right here. Maybe I'll start putting the comic on my blog.

here's a fun picture on me... bye

STORY TIME!!!

2006-10-25T00:38:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time there was this snake
His name was Bill
One day Bill went down the road
He found a snail
He ate the snail
He went further down the road
He saw a bunny
The bunny said "How are you?"
Bill said "Who wants to know?"
Bunny said "I do"
Bill said "What if I don't want to tell you how I am?"
Bunny said "You'd better tell me or I'm gonna hit you"
Bill said "NO!"
Bunny hit Bill
Bill ran further down the road
Bunny laughed, then fell down
Further down the road Bill saw a bird
Bird said "Don't you eat me you mother fucker"
Bill said "I'm gonna eat you"
Bird said "No I have two fucking kids I need to feed dammit"
Bill said "Too bad"
Bill jumped at the bird
Suddenly Bill fell down with a hole in his stomach
The snail escaped Bill's belly

THE END

Ben doesn't get the prize either, because he wouldn't have figured it out unless June cheated.

It's too bad the kiss was going to be from Heath Ledger...tisk tisk.

Ford: "I'd become a woman"

Well Done All

2006-08-28T00:22:00.000-07:00

Well it turns out my anonymous commenter was Jamie in disguise, and she was also incorrect.

I don't know why but I thought Ben was going to get this one and he did.

Yea Ben!!!!!! You'll received your undetermined prize in 8-9 weeks. Stay tuned for another edition of

Yes it is true. The band that I created almost a year ago has made an album. It's rough around the edges, but more fun then the West Side Story soundtrack.

I'm working on a second one as well. I have two songs complete and about 4 others in the works.

2006-05-12T19:26:00.000-07:00

This is KRNV Weather Forcaster Colin Hackman. He looks just like your average pasty white boy, but deep within his flesh, running through his veins is the spirit of a ghetto style rap artist.
Some people from work along with myself, went to this place called "The Green Room" on Tuesday for free style rap night. I wasn't too thrilled with the idea of spending five dollars for a beer and listening to hip hop all night long. Once they took the stage I knew I had made a mistake. Pretty much take what you'd expect to see and hear from a free style rap-o-thon, and that's was its. But, when Colin took the stage I was blown away by his ability to smoothly rap a pretty damn good piece. His choice of words is what seemed to get to me. I guess rap can be enjoyable when you have a decent volcabulary and your not talking about pimp slapping your mom because she's a bitch ass hoe bag....foo!

Whip It Good!

2006-05-03T02:23:00.000-07:00

Tonight some friends from work and myself went and saw some crappy freestyle rap in hopes of seeing one of our reporters at News 4(Where News Comes First!). He supposedly was going to rap but he never showed up. So instead we went to another bar and watched other people sing kareoke ..............

I ended up singing "Whip It" to a bunch of people that wanted to hear only country music, and I only had two beers......What have I become?

Spin The Wheel of Fish!

2006-04-14T21:37:00.000-07:00

So a strange turn of events has occurred. The Arizona International Film Fest emailed me and wants me to participate in the festival. YEA!!!!!

This festival has toyed with my emotions in the past few weeks. I'm not quite sure what to think right now, but I'm glad things worked out.

Jamie's Birthday is this Sunday, but she has to study so we're celebrating on Saturday. We'll spend the day together and I will lavish her with gifts. I wish we could go somewhere fun like Spain or Texas, but we're both so busy right now.

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, and that this blog isn't particularly smart assy enough. I'm at work right now and this place has a tendency to suck the life out of me.

Flapdoodle!!

2006-03-04T13:12:00.000-08:00

So last weekend Jamie, her half brother Morgan, and myself went dowtown. We had just eaten at this restaurant called "The Liberty Bell" and Morgan stole a small loaf of bread from our table. We originally wanted to go see a movie after dinner. But, since there wasn't anything good playing we decided to take a walk over to this outdoor ice skating rink. We cut open the loaf of bread, stuck a one dollar bill in it, and threw it into the rink. We proceeded to watch everyone fight for the loaf. One person even fell trying to avoid it. Finally a little blonde girl grabbed the dollar and skated off. When someone finally threw the loaf out of the rink we found two bite marks on it.

Talk about cheap entertainment...

You know what?!

Seedless watermelons are weird.

Do you think that in some crazy backwards world, where watermelons ruled the planet and ate people, they would genetically engineer people without genitals so they wouldn't have to keep spitting them out?

Just wondering.

ping pongo malo

2006-02-12T15:03:00.000-08:00

So here's a quick little thing.

On Saturday Jamie and I were eating breakfast at a place called the Gold and Silver. I wanted ketchup, so I picked up the bottle and shook it. The cap came off and I flung ketchup all over me, the table, the floor, a chair, and possibly the people behind me.

Stoned to Death!!

2006-02-05T22:55:00.000-08:00

So things are still going well here in Reno. My job keeps me busy and doesn't pay me very much, and our apartment is holding up nicely. The Olympics start soon on the great network of NBC, which means for the entire duration of the events I get to work 12 hour shifts. Oh well at least the overtime will be nice.

The thing I love best about working for NBC is I get to watch "The Office" every Thursday. And here I thought the only good decision this network ever made was "The West Wing". The Office is great!!! Steve Carell is brilliant and the writing is subtle and hilarious. YEAH!! the West Wing turned to shit at the best possible time. I've got a new #1 in my book.

And finally, to explain the title to this post. I know my titles never seem to make any reference to anything, well this time It does. I feel sorry for anyone who had to sit through the vomity vile sound of the Rolling Stones for the Super Bowl half time show. Never have I heard such an extreme sound of excrement leave an amplifier before. McJagger was so busy attempting to jump around like a troubled middle school student, he forgot to sing his songs correctly. Mind you I've never really liked the Stones, but their performance put the final nail in a coffin containing any hope for my admiration.

Fluff!

2006-01-18T13:47:00.000-08:00

Since I've arrived in Reno much has happened. The first week Riley and I behaved like we had a gambling addiction and lost a lot of money. As soon as Riley left a flood swept through the city, killing just about everyone in Reno...except me of course. I started my new job at KRNV, which is pretty cool but not something I want to stay with for more than a couple of years.

My cat seems to be adjusting nicely to the new place, even after Riley dropped her cage in the parking lot in Vegas. I'm writing some music in my spare time and conjuring up a script inspired by "The Man who Mistook His Wife for a Hat"

Other then all that stuff, things are pretty normal around here. I'm a bit lonely and I want to do a Vegas trip, but who knows when that will happen.

Mi Me My Mo Mu

2006-01-10T12:31:00.000-08:00

So it's finally happened, I've arrived in the biggest little city. things are going pretty well, I like our place, I like my job (except I have to work from 2:45pm-11:45pm), and I like the city. However, I am home sick so everyone should come visit me here and make me feel better.

This is my first big move and I hope it goes well for me. If others can do it, so can I.

GONG part II: the return of the hand that touched the little girl!

2005-12-07T12:41:00.000-08:00

So my film did well at the screening. It didn't get gonged, but I have to say my heart is broken, because I lost to a skateboard video.

GONG!!!

2005-11-30T22:48:00.000-08:00

I'm going to submit one of my films to this monthly film festival put on by The Loft Cinema. It's also hosted by Max Cannon, creator of the hit comic strip "RED MEAT", the rules go like this. Each film plays for 3 minutes, after that the crowd can Boo it off the screen, at this point it gets gonged and the next film screens. My film is only 5 minutes so it might make it. I wish I could submit my latest film, but they cap the films at 10 minutes and mines 15.

We shall see what happens

SUPER!

2005-11-19T01:47:00.000-08:00

Yea!!!! I won first place and $40.

2005-11-16T18:23:00.000-08:00

Man, what a crappy week. Maybe I'll win some money at poker on friday.

Mullets on the Rise!!!!!

2005-10-30T21:40:00.000-08:00

Sorry I haven't posted in quite some time. I was too busy pretending to...uhh..to...be a the manager at the KFC down the street. They caught on real quick once it was apparent that I didn't know how to fix the frier and burnt that little girls face off. She wasn't using it!

Did that not make sense to anybody...me either.

Anyway...
Jamie came down this weekend and it was loads of fun. We had a Halloween party on friday. This random man with a mullet came in and started drinking the beer and putting his arm around the girls. I had already been drinking and smoking so I was fearless. I pulled him aside and said "Listen you sonbitch, I don't want you and your long hair in the back type ways at my party. you got that?!" he replied "You have meet beat sir, your charming good looks are no match for my lower city ways. I will bid you good day."

Actually I just asked him to leave and he did. Which story is true? We may never know.

FUCK!

2005-10-16T18:48:00.000-07:00

FUCK the baseball post season. Twice now it has deprived me of The Simpsons, Family Guy, and King of the Hill.

FUCK Kinkos for not supporting Mac users. I needed to print my DVD labels yesterday and each location either didn't have a Mac station or their printer was broken.

FUCK the sound guy at Plush. When I hear bands play on their stage, it usually sounds pretty good (they're the best sounding room in Tucson) but there's always one glaring problem that's a quick fix. Like not being able to hear the backup vocals or lead guitar. When I look over at the sound guy, what is he doing? He's reading the Tucson Weekly which is spread out over the board.

FUCK the Shanty for not letting Kurt into their bar because his state issued I.D. isn't a driver's license.

FUCK Christian motivational speakers.

FUCK the U of A media arts department, just because they deserve it.

FUCK my dentist. A few months ago, one of my fillings fell out.

FUCK scientology and all who follow it's wacky gods of outer space. Except for Beck, he has groovy beats.

....and finally

BUCK Fush!

Bing! Bong! Blah!

I guess I should write another blog entry. I haven't in a while and I'm sure everyone is just iching to know what's been going on in the life Ford "Fuck Ya" Corl.

- I've been thinking about going to Club Crawl and seeing some of my favorite local bands. I hope Riley can go with me.

- I'm waiting to hear back from the DV festival (Hollywood), The Reno festival (ummm...Reno), and Sedona. I just submitted to Pheonix and Eurika Springs.

- I just finished the DVD of my movie and I think it looks great. I can send some copies to whoever wants it

- What the hell should I write now....ummmmmm.... oh Ya. I saw The New Pornographers at the Rialto Theatre last weekend. It was great but that theatre sounds like shit, even after they spent thousands on repairing it's acoustics.

- I co-directed a film that was shot more than a year ago and it's still not done. It may just take another year to finish.

bye bye

A Drunkin Version of My Post

2005-09-29T02:16:00.000-07:00

- R Kelly kicks ass, he's the best song writer....ever!

- Banana bread reminds me of grandma

- What if the flying squirrels decide to turn against us all?

- Sometimes I lie in grassy fields, look at the clouds and wonder how many burritos I can eat to send myself to the E.R.

- My cat has the fluffiest tail in all the land

- The website for the film festival that excepted me listed my name as Fred Corl... arh!!!

- Bill Buckmaster used to tell us about a little friend that lived in his head. He couldn't tell us his name because if he did...he would die

- I'm off to bed

Get Out of My Fucking TVs!

2005-09-27T23:04:00.000-07:00

This is a picture I created for my myspace account. I'm not that into myspace, but this was a fun project.

Everyone look close, maybe you're in my fun repressed memory wall.

WHA!?

2005-09-25T19:30:00.000-07:00

- Is it just me, or does R Kelly’s songs suck ass?

- If you like banana bread, you’ll love chocolate chip banana bread.

- What’s the deal with flying squirrels?

- I miss playing volleyball.

- Caviar looks kind of gross.

- Sometimes I lie in grassy fields, look at the clouds and wonder how much shit is being talked about me at that moment.

- My cat likes to sleep on the 4th shelf and the 4th shelf only of the bookcase in my living room.

- I finally got into a film festival, it’s a small one but it’s a start.

- Music fills me with heart and soul, but Huey Lewis and the News does not.

- I kicked Riley’s ass at racket ball today

- Sometimes Bill Buckmaster, host of the news magazine “Arizona Illustrated”, asks us how we like our eggs cooked.

- I’m done

Rock and/or Roll

2005-09-18T22:10:00.000-07:00

I remember the days when rock shows were so important to me. I'd spike up my hair and gather all the friends I could. We'd make our way downtown somehow and see a great band play at the Rialto theatre. All that ended after high school and a period of my life was spent without the joys of hearing great bands play. I'd see local show after local show, but It never gave me the satisfaction like seeing a band you only knew through faceless sound coming from a CD gave me.

Last night it happened again. I found a couple of friends and we made our way downtown to see the Decemberists live at the newly remodeled Rialto theatre. It gave me one of the most intense feelings of nostalgia I've ever felt. The music was a excellent mixture of folk, pop, and chamber music. My taste in music has evolved since high school (I listened to punk rock and punk rock only) but I was happy to experience the feeling of seeing a good show with friends again.

Oh My God...Giant Asshole Kid!!!!!!!!

Tonight is one of those nights where I feel like learning something. I've been struggling with Photoshop for the past year. Mostly because I never sat down and gave it enough time. Well tonight I did it you guys!!!! and I made this

I know what you're thinking...it's beautiful.

but there's no need to praise me...I already know.

Wacky Ball Hitting Fun Crazy Time!!!!!!!

2005-09-07T23:09:00.000-07:00

I just saw an amazing tennis match this evening, Andre Agassi vs. Co-American James Blake. James Blake won the first 2 sets (they play the best of five). Andre had never come back from a 2 set deficit at the U.S. Open, it was going to be history in the making I knew it. This was one of those matches where if something good or bad happened, I'd jump out of my seat and cheer (I wonder what my neighbor thinks of me). Andre managed to tie it at two sets a piece.

Just as they were playing the 5th set tie-breaker Kurt walked in the door with this goodie goodie Christian girl. She walked right up to the T.V. and started watching with me, She was rooting for Blake I was rooting for Agassi. Blake would hit a great shot and she would scream. Agassi hit a winner down the line and I tried to hold back my excitement. But, that last shot fell in and Andre won the match and I stood up and screamed quite loud. I wasn't about to let her hinder the emotions I was feeling at that time. I sent her off crying like a baby.....Stupid Christians

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

2005-09-06T22:30:00.000-07:00

Buggys, Froggys, and Monkeys…oh my!

2005-08-26T21:58:00.000-07:00

I’ve been trying to convince Kurt that we need to start a “Presidents of the United States of America” cover band. It’s been my idea since about a year ago when Kurt and I went to Club Congress to see “The Great American Cover Up”, where local bands pick one group to cover and play their stuff for a half an hour. Every time I mention it to him, he says “Yeah man, that sounds awesome” and then he gives me the metal sign. All right, he didn’t give me the metal sign but I know he really doesn’t want to play with me. How can I get him to change his mind? Should I replace all of his Dream Theatre CDs with Presidents CDs? Should I hide his equipment throughout the house and notify him I’m not going to tell him the locations of his stuff until he submits? Should I start singing the Presidents during our morning shower?…scratch that last part

Where's My Mommy!?!?!?

2005-08-22T20:18:00.000-07:00

I had myself a bit of a day today.

It started with my class. I've never met a more boring teacher in all my life. He had the incredibly original idea for all of us to stand up, say our name, why we're media arts majors etc. and I couldn't stand hearing 20 people get up there and say "I'm a media major because...I like movies...They fuckin' rock." (it was something like that)

After my class I drove Jerome to the airport and the entire drive I couldn't stop thinking that Riley and Kurt are my options now. It's difficult saying goodbye to someone when you don't know when you'll see them again. Most people try to leave it with a positive note, like "I'll see you next summer." There's a possibility that I'll never see Jerome again, but of course I'll hope for the best.

And last but not least, I worked computer graphics at KUAT tonight and mid-show my computer crashed, causing a lovely few seconds of black air. I wasn't too worried because the people who watch this damn show can barely see or hear.

So yes, today the powers that be decided it was my turn to spend 24hrs in a whirlwind of emotional downers. I'm feeling better, but I wonder who's turn it'll be tomorrow.

P.S.- Doesn't this picture kick ass!!!!!

WHO ARE YOU!!!!!!?

2005-08-21T10:58:00.000-07:00

Who the hell are all these random people commenting on my blog. Seriously, are they automated messages or are they so lonely that they need to make 4 new comments between 1am and 2am.

I'm still new to the blogging world, maybe there's a way to better secure my blog from spam or....lonely people.

"Missedafied" Jerome

2005-08-21T00:13:00.000-07:00

Tonight Jerome, Kurt and myself went to a bar. It was the usual, motorcycles kicking up dust on the patio that officially launched my allergy season, tennis on their widescreen T.V. (which was streched and looked like shit), 4 beers, several cigarettes, a brief argument with Kurt about how Christian music labels exploit the church and people of faith, and the simple but fun antics of Jerome.

I never thought it would be this way, but I've grown attached to Jerome and hate to see him go back to France. He always added something to a get together, and is one of the nicest guys I know. It's come to that point where I feel like I've taken his friendship for granted and wished we did more.

I'll have several drinks in his honor Sunday night.

Ford

Well well well...

2005-08-19T13:25:00.000-07:00

It looks like I've finally given in and signed up for one of these blog type things. Where else can I push my opinions about Politics, Philosophy, Movies, Blue's Clues etc.

This also gives me a chance to show people how royaly f*cked up I am. Because lets face it, it's much more fun to write about things that make you want to jump off a cliff.

I hope you all enjoy reading about the exciting world of Ford and his wacky ventures into the deepest darkest Barrios of Tucson AZ
