| post graduation and the start of the summer of 2005 |
[30 May 2005|04:11pm] |
i havent updated in quite a while, since prom actually lol, but most of you guys probably know whats been going on since then, the most notable would prolly be the last day of high school and graduation of coarse, both of which i think were pretty sad :/ it sucks to think that from this point on most of your friends will be headed off in different directions, and as much as we hate to admit, we will probably grow apart.
The last day of school was pretty crazy, we had firebirds doing burn outs in the parking lot, bunch of long good byes in the parking lot, '05 riots in the hallways led by konrad lol, and the most over whelming of all, just knowing that we were gone from high school for good. Me, kevin, mario and mike met up at billantes after school and hung out for a while, then it was back to mario's for pool and such but we all left around 3 so kevin could pick up his brother and me and mike hit the gym.
Graduation was awsome, being a part of such a ceremony felt great. Our senior class is still pretty big lol even tho it really wasnt compared to last year's 1300 (we had 781 seniors this year). After all the speeches and getting our diplomas, alot of good byes were said back stage, in addition my close knit friends that i see very often, im gonna miss everyone that ive ever gotten to pleasure to know, you guys have all been great friends to me and i wish you guys nothing but the best. It sucks to know that we will no longer be sheltered by high school life, and we are pretty much almost completely out into the real world with college just around the corner. But aside from all that, graduation was definately memorable, something im sure any of us will ever forget.
After graduation, me, kevin, holly, amanda rod., mike, and steven all went over to mario's for a small get together. We hung out, played a few games of pool, had pizza and cake, then went down to the pool for about an hour and a half. We all had a great time, i just hope the rest of the summer will be like that, i took plenty of pictures, some of which were dubbed "omg its like a porn picture!" HOLLY! lol, it was also great to see amanda rodriguez again, i havent seen her in about a year, the pool was awsome, for some reason, pools bring out the best in people during the summer lol and also puts a huge bulls eye on kevin's crotch for footballs lol. After we all left, i went to another pool in my development with mike, libby, my bro, if was cool too, only, i wish we could have stayed longer than we did :/. That night we had 9 people bunched up on my sectional couch around the legendary 54" TV watching the heat game. Great time, great laughs, jokes lol (why cant helen keller drive? because she was a woman - Jamie). The night was fun, it was definately the stickiest of the icky. Bottom line, it was a great day...and night.

| the past few weeks |
[01 May 2005|09:44pm] |
not much has gone on as of late, im gettin pretty tired of work lol, and pretty excited cuz prom is a few days away. On thursday me carly and rebecca went to muvico and say half of the interpreter and half of alot like love, me and rebecca wanted to get carly into see amityville, but she refused to go in. I seriously dont think there is anyone out there that hates horror movies more than she does. Well, both of those movies looked pretty good from what i saw, despite being chick flicks they were good movies.
Friday felt really odd, muvico switched me to the day shift since there was no school, and i was there from 11-5. Later that night mike went with me and my family to dinner in tamarac to silver pond, the top ranked chinese resturaunt in south florida. The food was great as usual, ive been going there for more than 7 years now, my dad is friends with everyone that works there lol.
On saturday i hit the gym with mike before going to work at 6. It was probably the longest work day ever, i dont know why, but it seemed to go by slower than usual, maybe im gettin bored with the job :/ . On a side note, i walked into the Amityville showing during my break, and i have to say, for the first time in a long time, a horror movie actually scared me. Im a huge horror movie fan, and very VERY few horror movies have actually scared me, but this one did it lol, one scene made me turn around and walk out of the theatre.
Today was great, i went out to eat with my family, then went to the dolphin mall with my brother and libby. I got back at around 5 and went to pembroke lakes mall for a bit. I hung out with some of the T-Mobile workers at a kiosk in the mall and watched the heat game with them lol...very interesting experience, right up there with the time a manicure lady who didnt speak english tried to do my nails in the middle of the mall, i told her no thank you but she kept going lol, luckly she only got a thumb nail done. But anyways, yea, i was in the kiosk watching the game with them lol, and during time outs they offered me phone plans :/ . Then after the mall i went by Sarah's house and gave her a monkey that i got her at the mall (feel better sarah :) ) which she called our daughter and hung out at her house for a while. Her room is filled with the creepiest stuff and the most naked of men. We hung out in her room and talked the whole time and she attempted to make me a my space lol.
Prom is friday : )

| old friends and near death experiences |
[18 Apr 2005|07:43pm] |
Its so crazy to think that i came within inches of dying about 20 mintues ago. Me and an old friend of mine named phil were hanging out and he was showing me his new car, a 12 second LS1 corvette powered camaro, anyways, we decided to take it out for a spin and took it on palm for a test run. At a long stretch, we looked for cops and then floored it. The near 400 hp motor put out so much torque to the stock tires that the rear end of the car was skidding from side to side as he went from first to second, we hit 100 in what seemed like just a few seconds, then at around 130-140 mph, we both looked up from the speedometer and saw a green sedan stopped sideways across 2 of the 3 lanes on palm. My friend phil slammed on the brakes as hard as he could and tried to keep control of the wheel. We swerved zig zagging through all 3 lanes almost and missed the front end of the car by less than a foot. God that was scary, especially in a car witha fiber glass body, i was shaking for a few minutes after that, after the thoguh settled in that i could have died just a few minutes ago.
Kinda makes you think twice about ever flooring a car "just for the hell of it", or for any reason for that matter. Definately rules out any racing in my future lol or any kinda crap that i do while driving now. It was definately one of the scarier moments of my life, to think that i was just inches shy of something that would have been very serious. I consider myself lucky to be able to write this entry right now.

| prom stuff |
[06 Apr 2005|10:59pm] |
prom is right around the corner, and today ive taken care of most of the stuff i needed to do. After school, i went to muvico to get my work schedule again...7 hours of nacho duty again lol grrrrr, basically, i sit in the back and make nachos lol its not very pleasant, however ur allowed to eat the chips, but u can only have so many before u get sick of em :/ after muvico, i went and got myself raped by the chevron station, $2.59 per gallon DAMN, it cost me a little over 40 bucks to fill up a tank to near capacity lol, its insane. After i got gas i drove over to angel's house and picked her and diana up to go do our prom stuff. We went to the dragon's den to get angel a pair of wings to go along with her dress at prom lol its a fairy type theme, so she decided to dress the part. We got small pink feathered wings while diana decided to play with plastic boobs she found on the counter lol. After we got her wings we went over to starbucks and got coffee, then headed to the publix on douglas and sheridan to order her corsage.
At the parking lot, i decided to park next to a BMW that looked exactly like my own just for fun lol, but it turned out to be pretty beneficial :) Right wen we got out of the car, a lady walks up to us and says "wow, what year is that?", she was the owner of my car's twin lol, and we got to talkin about what we like about our cars and stuff, her name was silvia and she owned a hair salon in that plaza (its actually really nice), and to make a long story short, we walked away with a discount salon treatment for the prom lol...for angel of coarse...not me lol. She was the nicest person ever, we'll more than likely go see her before the prom to get something done. We then went next door to publix to order our flower things (a corsage and a something else...its that flower that guys have pinned to their coats) After publix, we went back to angel's house and took pictures...lots and lots of pictures lol...so for those of you who havent seen angel yet, i'll have pictures lol, but be forewarned, shes not a pornstar LOL (jk angel)

| the past weekend |
[03 Apr 2005|11:07pm] |
This past weekend has been pretty tiring, but fun too. Friday after school i went over to angel's house to say happy birthday :) and hung out at her house for a little bit. I stayed till around 5:30 then went straight to work at muvico. I was there from 6-2 AM lol, i mean its a fun job, and i like it alot, but getting paid 5.25 is definately a downside :/ anyways, i got out at 2 AM, and went over to an empty lowes parking lot and gave my car a little performance test run lol, i found out alot about it too, like wen i floor it i get 9 MPG and the handling is amazing :)
Anyways, i got home, showered, then moved the cars around in my driveway and then went to sleep around 3 AM. I slept 3 hours then got up and went to gainesville for the weekend.
Gainesville was fun, we went this time cuz my family wants to get my brother a house up there. We found a pretty nice one with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a huge backyard. If we actually get the house, it would be rented out to two of his friends, and will be for my sis to live in wen she goes to UF. Personally, i wouldnt want a house in college, id hate to have to take care of a house on top of studying for classes day in and day out, id honestly be much happier with a small apartment.
Besides the house hunting, the visit was pretty cool too, i met up with the local BMW car club at Caraba's italian grill for one of the member's birthdays, great bunch of people. After dinner, we all went back to alex's apartment at around 10, and me, chris, alex, and tyler played mario kart double dash for 4 hours till 2 AM in the morning lol. We would have kept at it, but i had to go cuz i had to get up early the next morning :/. I spent the night at my brother's dorm, it was pretty cool, got a first hand experience of college living. The next next morning i woke up, changed, showered, and headed over to the hotel with my bro to pick up the rest of my family. We then went back to the house that we were interested in and got some more info about the house. Afterwards, we ate at this panda resturaunt (cant spell the name) and went to a huge target where we bought a bunch of easter stuff lol (???). We headed home at around 3 and got home at roughly 8.
After this visit, my views about gainesville have changed, its not as bad of a town as i originally thought it was, the people are great and some parts of town are actually really nice. However, id probably go insane there, gainesville is more of a quiet some what rural town compared to pembroke pines and miami, there are large trees and feilds in many parts of town and slot of its housing developments are literally found INSIDE forests lol im not kidding. I guess what im trying to say is that im alot more comfertable living in a city with enviornments like what we have down pines blvd. rather than small quiet settings like what gainesville has. I think orlando might suit me better, i guess i'll have to wait and see.

| my life as of 3-28-05 |
[28 Mar 2005|10:54pm] |
wow, things have been going pretty good lately lol. Lets see, i got a job at muvico (for those who dont kno yet), i get mad hours but at least its a fun job lol. I get paid 5.25 an hour :/ it will be 6 something next month, but still, it still sucks. I get my first pay check from em friday :) Its basically a hang out job, its been only 3 days and i already know almost half the people who work there, the free popcorn and drinks are always a plus, and the fact that Jennifer Lopez and other celebrities come in every month isnt a bad incentive lol. I love the job none the less.
....I love my car.....
Prom is also comming closer and closer, and its gonna be awsome :) im rockin the pink this year lol, thanks to angel for wearing a pink and black outfit (she actually looks like a kinky faerie in it, im not even kidding) lol, we are going to get her faerie wings wen i get my first paycheck on friday..heh, we are getting angel her wings lol...no pun intended. I still gotta go order her corsage and stuff, gotta find time for that, weekends are now out of the questions since i work fridays, saturdays, and sundays now, good thing i have another month or so to get it done lol.
Graduation is also right around the corner :/ its gonna be sad to see everyone go (not gonna get into it in this entry), but 10 days after that comes the xtreme xperiences cruise to the bahamas for the senior class of 2005 :), yep, 4 days and 3 nights in the grand bahamas with some of my best friends aswell as seniors from all over the south florida area (and i think in other parts of the state too, im not sure). I cant wait, its gonna be amazing! "Girl, you give me pac-man fever...oppa oppa oppa oppa" (LOL mike, we're gonna use that pick up line this summer!)
seeing as how this was a random entry, feel free to post off topic lol

| spring break |
[22 Mar 2005|09:16pm] |
spring break has been goin pretty well lately, whether im out with friends or chillin at home, its still great to get a break from school. Anyways, down to recent events:
On sunday me, carly, and sarah went to dania beach from 11:30 to 3:30. It was a fun drive to the beach following sarah the whole time, shes a crazy ass driver...cutting off probably every car not traveling at least 70 mph on sheridan lol (reminds me alot of another female driver i kno...ANGEL! lol). Anyways, wen we got there, it was pretty cool, ive never been to dania beach before, it was fun tho. Almost right wen i got out of the car, greg pulls up and says hi....it was so random lol, i didnt even kno he was comming, but yea i ended up hanging out with his friends (NOT abandoning carly and sarah...despite what they might tell you) and meeting this girl named Alexis and talking to Patricia, someone who ive known of for a pretty long time but never really got to talk to. 2 hours later at around 1, mario came by and we hung out, tried to teach sarah and carly how to skim board (and tried to remeber how to do it myself lol), played kadima and almost hit an old guy in the face with the ball, and played volley ball with a bunch of people we didnt know. I wanted to leave at around 3, cuz i had a job interview at 4:30 at muvico, but i ended up leaving at 3:30 (lost track of time). So i changed and brushed all the sand off of me and tried to get home as fast as i could. I must have caught every light on the way back, and was unlucky enuff to get caught up at the bridge infront of ocean drive for 10 minutes. Anyways, i got back at around 4:25, and got changed and showered in 8 minutes and was out the door. To make a long story short, i was 8 minutes late to my interview and ended up having to wait half an hour for the next one.
I got into the interview and found that i was surrounded with stupid wiggers and dumb thugs. To make a long story short, the manager was supposed to hire 3 of the 12 people that showed up to the interview...i was notified the next day that i was hired, but the other two are still pending....lol. Anyways, i showed up today for the orientation, it was 3 hours long, but we got paid for it lol which is awsome, and entertaining too, and by entertaining im not refering to the sexual harassment video (hehehe) but with how stupid the thug kids were, some kid actually asked "what do i put where it says maiden name?" when he was filling out paper work lol, the manager laughed in his face. Im due for training for 5 hours a day for the next two days, then i work to 1 AM on friday and 11 on sunday. Yep, but there are perks, i do get to take 2 friends in for free to see as many movies as they want.....anyone wanna be my friend? lol

| my day |
[08 Mar 2005|10:37pm] |
|
Today went by pretty slow, well, school did at least, nothing really special happend. I got my UCF hat yesturday :) i paid 18 bucks for it (props to kevin for his lids discount card) as opposed to 31 dollars buying it online. Afterschool i picked up my sister, jon, and britney schrager and crammed them all in my little BMW. I dropped off jon and my sister, and afterwards me and britney went out for the afternoon. We went to Barnes and Noble to "study"...or at least thats what we were supposed to do lol, but these study sessions never work out for me :/....ever. We ended up getting coffee and building a small camp site between the sex books and the baseball almanacs and sat there looking at animal books the whole time, we set up these novels with huge candles on them while they had clasical music playing, it was "romantic" as britney called it lol. We left at around 5:30 and walked around the plazing looking for stuffed beavers, we didnt find any, however we did find stuffed ground hogs (?). We spent the rest of the day in petsmart lol and ran into a few people that we knew and hung out with them for a bit. It was fun, im not gonna mention much details because even tho they are innocent, i cant think of a way that i can put it for it to sound...non-bad lol. So we left at around 6 and i drove her to her mom's house, after making 2-3 circles around her neighborhood (just for the hell of it), i finally dropped her off....PS-britney, i need my house key back!....agian lol. Anyways, after i dropped her off, i came home, parked the Bimmer outside and met up with Carly and Rebbecca (from 4 houses down) we hung out outside, carly did her stripper dance for us lol, and we talked for a bit before carly left for home to take a shower. Greg, Alex, and Andy came over shortly after, and the smash brothers commenced for the night. The smash brothers firsts that occured that night include me owning greg's face after eliminating the great blue ball kirby and the god like andy (all 3 are amazing smash brothers players i might add) and witnessing andy being owned by grreg..for the first time..ever. By the way, props to alex on his blue ball kirby shirt, it was hilarious lol and seeing how u made it 10 minutes before u came over ( which resulted in a half hour delay of your arrival) it was still worth it (make me one lol). Carly and Becca also stopped by during the action, but for 3 minutes only cuz carly had to go pick up her sis :/, but anyways, that concluded the night.

| presidents day weekend |
[21 Feb 2005|05:36pm] |
This weekend was pretty fun, nothing really out of the ordinary really, just all the usual. Earlier on in the weekend, me, mike, mario, schmidty, his brother, and JD played basketball at the police athletic league for a few hours, then went out to dennys afterwards to eat. On saturday night, Me and mike drove to cypress bay high school to watch the districts basketball game. We play McArthur, it was an awsome game, between cameron taunting #21 on the other team (and watching him turn around, look at cameron, and grab his nuts at him) and flanagan's 28 point win, the night was pretty cool. The game ended pretty early so me and mike went to china one over in the blockbuster plaza so that mike can get food. After that, we went over to cold stone so i could visit britney shragger.
Yesturday was rather frustrating but productive at the same time, me and the family went over to Warren Henry infiniti to check out my future G35 coupe :) I walked in there, and once a salesman approached me, i sat him down and told him exactly what i wanted and discussed availability and pricing, it took about a half an hour until he finally gave me a print out with a price for my G35 coupe on it...$39,450. This price really isnt bad at all, considering its pretty well below my price limit. The only thing that bothers me is that, wen i asked for a 6 speed manual transmission to be put in, the dumbass salesman turned to my mom and said "no no no no, 6 speed is too fast", ironically, my parents didnt wanna consider getting me this car because it was...well, fast lol, and after weeks of trying to convince them taht this car wasnt fast, this fucker just ruined it for me in about 5 seconds. It was kinda dissapointing lol, mario's dad told me in detailed instructions how to get him fired lol, but eh, w/e, an auto transmission isnt bad, 10 more lbs of torque, a fair trade off. We will be visiting Vista BMW next week so i can see the 330ci, its between either the 330ci or the G35 coupe.
I saved myself 100 bucks today with a pocket knife lol (its not what it sounds lol). See, my computer has been telling me that it cant detect my CD drive for the past 3 days (the light didnt blink, there was no CD spinning sound, and wen i pushed the eject button, nothing happend), so i figured it was broken, but ignored it because it wasnt that big of a deal. But this morning i realized that my photo album CD was in there (130 MB worth of pictures...of friends lol), so i decided to just screw it, the damn thing was broken anyways, how could i possibly make it any worse by trying to break into it? So i picked up my pocket knife and decided to try and pry the CD drive open. When i finally got under the lid with the blade, i pryed it lightly and heard a loud pop, as if the plastic had cracked, and lo and behold, the light starts blinking...wtf...so then i stopped, and pushed the eject button and the thing spits out my CD...hmmm, weird, i guess it wasnt broken afterall lol. Afterwards, i went to mario's and played pool for the whole afternoon and watched the AND 1 mix tape tour (and all the black people go ooooo!!!). The End.

| hello |
[17 Feb 2005|08:49pm] |
WOW! i ahvent updated in quite a while lol, ehh, i guess ive been getting lazy as of late :/ so much school going on, its cutting back on alot of things, including LJ (unfortunately). Anyways, not much has been going on since i last updated, just the usual stuff really, playin pool, hanging out with mario and mike, smash brothers at gregs with a few other people and what not. I met up with Jamie Goldman again, which was awsome, i seriously didnt think she remebered me from like, 2 years ago lol. I also met up with Alexa again, a girl i met WAY WAY back at kevin's party (that night at bucca di beppo, those who were there know wut im talking about :) lol), she seems pretty cool, i was going to my car right as she was getting out of hers, (i didnt recognize her) and she was like "hey! are you stan?" and im like omfg its her! lol. But other than that there really wasnt much else, there will definately be more within the next few months tho lol :) cruise, prom, and of coarse the infamos final summer of high school.
School has been going pretty good as of late, ever since i dropped stats lol my life has been ALOT easier. The only academic class that i have is probably AP psychology, AP english is a joke with Zeller and TA class and Drafting and Design 3 is a breeze. I love my Psych class tho, ive gotten a 80, 69, and 50 on my tests and i still pulled off a B in taht class lol. But seriously, thats a fun class, between passing notes with Britany Shregger (something i havent done in like....well...since elementry school lol), talking to Lyndsy and the other Britany ; ) (i think you guys are hot too :P) and going undeafeated in spades so far (6-0!), that class, i loving that class.
Prom is comming up too, the big senior prom : ) and i couldnt be happier to be taking Angel. Its gonna be amazing, going in my new car, being with angel, all my best friends, at the weston diplomat, and ofcoarse the after parties, its gonna be a hell of a nite. I seriously cant wait! and then after the prom, there is the XXP senior cruise '05 to the grand bahamas!! 4 days and 3 nights of nothing but clubs, the beach, island atmosphere, ladies, best friends, and a hotel with a huge pool with a swim up bar and all :).
And lastly, to get u guys all caught up, I GOT ACCEPTED TO UCF YESTURDAY!!!! i couldnt believe it wen mrs. klienman told me!, but yea, looks like im bound for UCF :) fall term btw. I know i was originally suposed to go to USF, but UCF is a better school, and getting accepted was absolutely amazing!, screw UF, UCF is a thousand times better!! i mean, city walk and islands of adventure being 20 minutes down teh road vs. small college town where the main attraction is a steak and shake from 1920 and an old walmart?? come on now lol, im still kinda scared of wut it will be like in college, but i guess its something u'll get used to, ehh, take life as it comes your way right? lol right!

| college |
[30 Jan 2005|12:27pm] |

well its official, by fall of this year i'll be off to USF (in tampa), i know a few people that are in USF, and from what i hear its a pretty good school. I got my accpetance letter last nite, but im still waiting to hear from UCF. The only thing depressing about all of this is that all my closest friends will be in 5 different parts of florida in about 7 months (less for some :/), and its something thats been bothering me for a long time now. Its funny how wen we were freashmen in high school we always thought about college as being something that was so far away and that we would have plenty of time left before it for friends and good times, but now that its here, it didnt seem like that long at all, in fact it seemed like only yesturday we were back at the annex and not giving college a second thought. But now its really here...we've reached a crossroads, and all my friends just happen to be going off in their own seperate directions :/, my friends that used to be up the street are now gonna be up state, and friends that were just a 5 minute drive away from me on the weekends are now gonna be 5 hours away. This is something ive been trying to deal with, its really depressing, ive really taken my high school years for granted, always wishing that it would be over fast in the early years and trying to go through them as fast as possible, and now that im this close to the end, i honestly dont want it to be over.

[05 Jan 2005|10:18pm] |
i really hate how the worst of things can happen to the best of people, especially to people i care about the most, like my friends. Last night, one of the people i cared about the most had to go through something that nobody should ever go through, it was so upsetting that she cried the whole night and till about 2 in the morning. After being on the phone with her for 2 hours (from 12 AM - 2 AM), i was finally able to cheer her up a little and get her to stop crying. If anyone got to kno her, she is one of the sweetest and most wonderful people you will ever meet, she puts others before herself, even people she doesnt know, and she goes out of her way to help others, even if its at her own expense. I really hate how certain people have absolutely no regards towards the feelings of others these days, and how the word love can be so easily used to manipulate, and how someone can turn on their best friend and fucking put them through all kinds of shit without giving it a second thought, which are the roots of this situation. Out of respect for the person, im not gonna mention her name or tell her story, but what happend to her and all the things she was telling me about really made me think last night, and is why im writting this entry.
((to my friend, and someone that i really care about, you need to stop blamming yourself for what happend, bottom line, shes a fuckin whore and hes a manipulative asshole and a total fuckin jackass, u dont need people like that in your life, dont get upset over that anymore, just put it behind u and move on.))
