Sleep Paralysis

She laid in her bed, breathing slowly in out, in out. "get up." She thought to herself. "get up". She couldn't. There was something (or someone) holding her down. After struggling nervously for what felt like hours, she finally managed to push it off. She ran immediately to her Mother's room screaming. Her mother got up in time to notice a shadow following her daughter.
"What is that?" her mother shouted as the shadow jumped upon her pinning her to the bed. The girl watched as her mother struggled to move, she could see the fear in her eyes, but that was it. No movement at all. Finally the shadow flew off and was nowhere to be seen.

Both mom and daughter sat staring at each other happy that it was finally over and full of tears.

Frank you're not alone. The shadow just flew from this room into yours, who's next? Happy Halloween!

Fastfood Policy

You know when you're starving and finally give in to your stomach by going to McDonalds for some crispy, golden, white meat chicken nuggets? You give the cashier your money, she returns your change and asks, "What kind of sauce do you want?" You stop to think, "hmm... Hot mustard is always good, but Sweet and Sour is a must." So like any normal human being you decide "I want both." Then the McDonalds worker looks at you like you're an idiot (cuz you know you're the one working at McDonalds right?) and says you can only pick one. F That. The taste explosion from the combination of the mustard and sweet and sour sauce combined is too enticing. You give in to the 15 cents for extra sauce policy that they have, because arguing over a free sauce is really just a waste of time. It's so funny how something as little as 15 cents can piss you off so much. I mean this is McDonalds we're talking about. One of the biggest companies in the world and they created a freaking sauce policy. That is some shit.

Frank, Devane, and I were discussing this and thought that we should set up a boycott. I mean we're going through tough times with the economy and low unemployment rates, a free sauce with our nuggets should be mandatory. Like 1 sauce is enough for 6 nuggets. Some McDonald's restaurants are cool and will hook you up with extra sauce no questions asked. We want to picket the ones that have douche bag employees who get off on denying people a free dipping sauce.

I don't think I've tried a triple dip combination of bbq, sweet and sour, and hot mustard and I don't even think it would be that good, but in the end that should be my decision to try, not some lame ass McDonald's employee.

Saturday Oct. 24, 2009

So I woke up sleepy from a long night of pumpkin fighting (I think i might have fought a couple in my sleep too, because I was exhausted). I had to go to work so did for close to 8 hours, crappy especially on a Saturday. When i got home I was looking forward to a long nap, but realized I wasn't going to be able to, because had to go out for Michelle's bday. Happy freaking birthday Michelle! I jumped in the shower and rushed out the door to meet at Daniela's. Ring Ring. "Sup Frank?" . "Hey buy me a ticket off a scalper when you get there for Kim." Crap, now I got to the bank, no problem." Rush to bank, then make it to Daniela's. We rushed over to the show and I got to show off my negotiation skills with a scalper for Frank. "Hey man, you need a ticket?" "Yeah, how much?" "Face value, $50" "Umm" I put on my poker face and was like "I don't know... ok that's cool". Damn I suck at bargaining (Sorry Frank). We get inside (yes, the scalper's ticket worked) and made it just in time to watch the first band, Wax! Have you ever heard of Wax before? If not, there's a reason for that. They freaking suck. "Take a drink of water, have a seat, Take a drink of water, have a seat... 1-2-3-4-5-6 Pick up Bricks". It's sad when a band like that gets to play shows with Weezer and I have to play at the Stardust. After an hour of trying to plug my ears, because I was afraid of another enraged blackout, Weezer finally came on. "Wow." They are freaking awesome. I've seen them before, but they were so entertaining on this night. Forgive me for not knowing any of their names, oh wait I know the singer's name is Rivers or something like that, but he was fun. His energy was perfect and his jokes were just right. One thing about being a guitar player is when you watch a good band perform you rush home and just want to play your guitar to get better, instead of practicing guitar, I wanted to practice running around the stage and being fun like he was. Michelle, I was exhausted before the show started, but am very glad I got to go for your birthday. Thanks for the invite and great idea! To everyone else, I suggest checking them out live, you're guaranteed a good time. Who knew? Weezer Rocks.

My Friday Night Black Out

So, I was a bit off about the pumpkin carving party. There were definitely pumpkins and people were carving them, but I ended up just hanging out with the guys instead. Unfortunately, Devane and the rest of the party left to a club leaving me unwatched... bad idea. I walked by and noticed that someone (or something) was giving me the old stink eye. I blacked out from what I could only determine was due to the rage inside me wanting to get out and show that pumpkin who's boss.

One punch turned into 3 or 4 and then before anyone knew what was going on there was a pumpkin massacre. I awoke from my blackout covered in guts, next to the mutiliated pieces of what I assume was the old stink eye pumpkin. I went to my knees and begged God for forgiveness. Will he forgive... only time will tell. How was your Friday night?

Pumpkin Carving

What do you do when your fiance is out of town?

Some people might stay home and listen to Celine Dion's "All by Myself" song on repeat while tearing up alone in the dark. Others may go out with their friends and get trashed playing beer pong or flip cup. I say no to both. What I am going to do is attend Devane's pumpkin carving party. Yes folks, we are going to carve some pumpkins, install a candle, and watch the horror as the light illuminates our images and embeds them into our souls. Well, it's not really that spooky. Last year I made a Ninja Turtle one, but it looked awesome. I'll post up some pics tomorrow or the next day with some of the pumpkin creations. Happy Halloween, almost.

Mind Control

Ok, so remember in X-men when Professor X would use his telekinesis to move around objects? Remember in Star Wars when Master Yoda lifted the X-wing out of the lake on the planet of Dagobah, using nothing but his mind(the force)? If you don't remember, that doesn't matter cuz I do and found a new toy that exercises your ablilty to move things with your mind.

What this is , is some weird head gear that sends your brainwaves over to a floating ball and makes it move around obstacles and stuff. It's crazy, watch the video. If you buy it let me know so I can borrow it. We now have the ability to do something I've been wanting to do ever since I was a wee lad. This is awesome and only $80 at Wal-mart and Target. Hey my birthday is coming up in a few months...
