Drook's Diary

Nosaj Thing

Conversation's been going good. We've mostly been talking about rap. I complimented her like you told me to when she said she liked Yeezus (great album). I'm going to call her Shorty because she's actually short which makes your model example funny.

But she actually has an alright taste in rap. She said we need to go to a Kendrick Lamar concert together when I mentioned I like him. She's busy this weekend and I'm busy the next two weeks with theater camp (why did I sign up for that?) but I'm gonna try to set up a date soonish. She obviously wants me so it's just a matter of not fvcking up over a text until I can set up a date.

Pink Matter

I just went over my goal list and I got a sh!tload of it done or on it's way. I'm gonna set some new goals and go over what I've already finished.

1. Get a job over the summer.
Not happening but I've stayed busy all summer to make up for it

2. Lose V.Card over the summer.
I can either get this from Shorty if I play my cards right or I can take Anne up to fvck me if I didn't lose it by the end of the summer. Not sure I want to go there, though. Seems cheap and dirty.

3.Get serious with lifting, get body weight from 137.8 to 145 lean mass. (I can seriosly bulk after summer's over)
Done. Been fluctuating around 145 for a while now. And it's been getting me the attention I wanted.

4.Figure out what I want to do for a living(!!!)
Thinking about philosophy major now. Still not sure but the more I experience the closer I'll get to it.

5.Become charismatic/a DJ.
Definitely not here yet. But I'm starting to see patterns in people's behaviors, I'm getting better at conversing, I've stopped putting so much of my ego into the actions of others. I feel like I'm on my way.

6.Get into decent classes at community college(!!!)
Got into English 101, qualified for 110. I got pre-algebra which apparently is pretty standard for high school kids, I got into the welding class at the tech school I wanted, and I might take a philosophy class next semester. I feel like I did alright here.

7.Finish some books on my backlog
I'm part way through Infinite Jest and I started on some of Plato's work. I don't even remember what else I've been meaning to read. Either way mission accomplished.

8.Get a girlfriend by the end of the summer.
Not sure if I want Shorty as a long term girlfriend. Not sure if I want a serious girlfriend right now at all. I'm too early in my trip to DJship to settle down and lose what little I've gained in a few month relationship with a chick. I guess I still have a month for this one. Not sure if I want to actually accomplish it.

Now I'm gonna set some new goals.

1.Go from 145 to 165 after the summer winds down.
I'm gonna bulk seriously over the winter. Cut before next summer.

2.Start eating healthier and going to bed earlier.
Over the last week since I started VBS I've noticed that I'm basically dead on my feet in the morning hours. It doesn't really matter yet because school hasn't started but I want to be 100% physically and mentally whenever I'm in public.

3.Spend less time on the computer.
Self explanatory. Unless I'm writing, learning or killing time where I couldn't be any more productive I shouldn't be on here.

4.Get my license before school starts.
My birthday's on the 7th and I have from then until the 19th. I wanna be more self sufficient and able to drive myself to dates.

5.Get good enough at guitar to play a classical song well.
I don't want to commit to a single song but I want to be able to play something like Classical Gas well.

6.Be social and charismatic at college. Use it as a fresh start.
Self explanatory. I'll likely have no friends there so it'll be the perfect place to make new ones, expand my social circle, pickup chicks.



Yeah but today's been alright. Shorty didn't respond to my text from last night until 1ish so I'm not texting her until tomorrow. Considering going NC until she texts me again. Not sure if I'm far enough in the relationship to pull it off, though. The going to bed earlier goal I made up today when I realized that I'm dead on my feet all day and I can't continue trying to improve socially running 50%. So after I finish this post I'm going to take a quick shower(no fapping) and go to bed. Me and Anne were wearing the same outfit today which was kinda funny. She invited me to go to this mall an hour away from her place with her, Mon and Shorty. So I was gonna go. Then she came back to me five minutes saying they're not getting back until 11. I responded "okay" and she freaked out and asked "What do you mean 'okay'!?" I kinda got at that point that she didn't want me to go. I half jokingly said "If you don't want me going I won't go." Plus there's no way my mom would give me a ride home at 11 from a house 45 mins away. Anne is fvcking cray, though. At first she said she wouldn't get back until like 7 or something then she came back and said 11? Malls aren't even open that late. Plus Shorty posted on Twitter like two hours ago. Whatevs, though. You can't rely on chicks when there are other chicks involved.

Bro came by after VBS with Ex. I didn't talk to Ex but Bro d!cked around and played San Andreas with my brother while I lifted. It was weird having Ex there while I was shirtless because I was 10 lbs lighter with no muscle the last time she saw me.

I'mma hit it, though. Gotta get some sleep and I want to wake up early enough to make myself a decent breakfast. Peace.

PUA in Fairfax?

Anne Mon and Shorty got hit on in Fair Oaks mall, VA. Sounded like the artist was using mystery method. He failed at getting their number at first and did this magic trick where you and your target write your names down on cards, kiss, and the names swap. I guess it got mixed results cause Mon kissed him but didn't give her number.

Mad respect to the guy, though. Sounded like a good attempt. Also reminds me that I got to step my sh!t up or an actual PUA will pick Shorty instead of Mon next time.

 

[RiceandChicken]

Really liking your goals. Good stuff. On the license one, will, I got my permit today(yay). But I dam* near failed the test lol. It came down to the last question. But anyways, just get your drivin down and practice practice practice!

Keep on profitin' and get some with Anne or Shorty. Or both.

Instant Crush

June 26-27th

Still haven't heard anything from Shorty. She mentioned camping this weekend and a family reunion and I haven't seen anything on Facebook or Twitter from her lately so maybe she's actually busy. Either way I'm gonna wait until she double texts me to respond.

Last night I randomly got a text from Ex's number.

"Hey"

I wasn't sure if it was Ex or Bro since Bro lost his phone charger and has been bumming off ex's phone. I had a hunch that it was Ex since the last time I messaged Bro I basically told him to fvck off since I was busy at VBS.

>Yo
"How's it going?"

Good grammar, how is shortened to how's, it's ex. I figured two things out pretty much immediately.
A. She saw me shirtless and on my pump when she came over and it probably killed her.
B. I can't be a **** to her or she'll fvck off again.

With this in mind I figured the best way to go about messaging her would be to let her know how awesome my life's been lately and let it eat her up. I decide on a short general response. >Awesome came to mind but I don't like using the word awesome. So I start thinking "what's better than awesome?" Then it clicked like a fridge light at midnight.

>Glorious.

As soon as I sent that out I started laughing like a retard. "Glorious"? Who the fvck says that? Why did it seem like some Shakespearian sh!t to say at the time? I'll never know. She still hasn't responded. Probably thinks I'm being a sarcastic @sshole.

I regret nothing.


Today my dad and brothers left for the cabin. Which is two hours away and in the middle of nowhere. I decided not to go because I didn't feel like working on it on my break between VBS and theater camp.

Me, my mom and sisters (big family) went to goodwill and a few random stores for groceries and food today. I got a pair of 150 dollar Corcoran jumpboots used for 15 bucks. And they look BAD @SS. Can't wait until it cools down enough to wear them with some jeans and a peacoat to pull off that military swagger. I also got a pair of 511 khakis for like 4 bucks. The skinny kind, not the slim straight. They might be a bit small though because I normally wear around 31s and they're 30 30s.

I know I've mentioned this before but I fvcking love fashion in the most heterosexual way possible. One of the only things I dislike about the summer is that I'm stuck to wearing basic ***** henleys, shorts and vans. Nice part is that it shows off my black genetics and the fact that I tan amazingly. Being able to pop your top whenever possible is nice too. During the winter I'm at my prime appearance wise IMO. I always wear unique shoes: Comme Des Garcon Converses, Clark DBs, my old beater boots and now a pair of bad@ss paratrooper boots. I always wear well fitted shirts, a nice jacket, pants that fit. I've had random people come up and compliment me on my clothes and my friends all go to me for fashion advice. I know I'm ego jerking but it is really my forte. Only downside is it's comparable to redpillers where you start judging people harshly when you see them from a different point of view. You also notice patterns and stereotypes in people as far as clothing goes. It is insightful when it comes to judging a person's character by appearance. You can pick certain articles of clothing apart and associate them to character traits.

I don't know why I went on that random rant. I'll post if I hear anything from Shorty or Ex. Peace.

 

[Drook]

Yo I was the same way @Riceandchicken. Do you have to drive 50 hours in your state for a license too or is that just here?

 

[Watawata]

About the classical song, maybe check out Romanza/spanish romance if you dont know it already. First part is very easy, the second part not as much, but it sound awesome and classical.

 

[Drook]

Rosie Oh

Okay I just deleted my entire journal post and I'm on my iPad. I hate this thing.

I learned the first part of Romanza when I first picked up guitar but never bothered with the second. I'll try it next time I practice. @Watawata

Yeah but I made up a workout routine which I'll detail in a later post to help me be more awake in the morning. It's basically calisthenics and cardio.

Theatre camp starts tomorrow and I have to get up at 7 to workout and shower before registration which makes me rewriting this at 12am REALLY SH!TTY. After tomorrow I'll be dropped off at a cafe around a half hour before class so it gives me two weeks to suck up my nuts and day game on the streets and in the cafe. It also let's me invite any HBs that drive themselves to camp to coffee/breakfast.

Today was alright. The only person at mass was Anne which doesn't do anything for me. I did get back to my OHP PR of 3x5 @ 95lbs which is awesome. Still nothing from Shorty or Ex. Shorty's been posting on FB so she's seen my message. I think I just p!ssed her off because I didn't hop on the chance to screw her. Which is fine by me. Let her know that I'm on another level. She can tell her friends.

Hoping for HBs tomorrow, though. It's gonna be a sh!t two weeks if it's just losers and uggo chicks. Gonna hit it so I can actually get some sleep. Beast.

 

[Drook]

Okay I signed up for this thinking it's a highschool theater camp BUT IM LITERALLY THE ONLY HIGHSCHOOLER HERE AND MY MOM PAID 300 DOLLARS FOR THIS SO I CAN'T QUIT. I still have 20 minutes until it starts so maybe some normal people will get here.

Edit 2: one highschool girl -5/10 weird af. I've decided if my mom doesn't pull me I'll take aggressive action to get kicked out. Pray for my poor soul.

 

[Watawata]

How old are the other people on the camp? If their not to old maybe you could hang with them?

Also on the guitar, one thing you can do is learn your favorite songs on an acoustic solo version, like Sungha Jung or Presnyakov. Licknriff has plenty of lessons about that, free.

 

[RiceandChicken]

Yo I was the same way @Riceandchicken. Do you have to drive 50 hours in your state for a license too or is that just here?

I got to drive for 34 hours, and do a 32 hour course(which I'm doing online). 66 total hours, which is going to be a pain for me, haven't started my driving hours yet. Funny thing is I test in January and I'm already nervous as hell.

 

[Drook]

Horse You Ride

This is the first sh!t day I've had in a long, long time. The theater camp wasn't even that bad because it was Mickey Mouse club. It was terrible because all the kids were fvcking losers. You know the people that as soon as they open their mouths you know they're basically retarded socially? WELL THAT WAS THE ENTIRE CAMP. THIS FAT CHICK. LIKE -2/10 GOTH PINK HAIR WADDLED UP TO ME AND ASKED FOR MY NUMBER. WELL AT THIS POINT I WAS SITTING ON MY PHONE IN FULL I WISH I WASN'T HERE MODE SO I CAN'T BULLSH!T SOMETHING BECAUSE I'M SITTING ON MY PHONE SO I CAN'T BE LIKE "OH MY PHONE IS GONE". SO SHE'S LIKE "YO I NEED A STRANGER TO TALK TO YOU SHOULD GIVE ME MY PHONE NUMBER" SO I GIVE IT TO HER. I GET A TEXT FIVE SECONDS LATER

"Oi"

>Yo

"It's kaht.."LIKE I DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW THAT

"So everyone leaves me. Even the one person i thought would never leave dumped me. I swear, is it just the people around me? Ahhhhh so frustrating >.<"

I'M NOT SURE IF SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT ME OR SOMEBODY ELSE BUT AT THIS POINT I'VE SPENT THREE HOURS IN HALF A CHAIR WITH HER MASS OVERFLOWING INTO THE OTHER HALF AND I WAS SICK OF IT.

Moms said she'd pull me and try to get a refund. I'm mowing the lawn for free for the rest of the summer if she doesn't get it. Worth it IMO. I'd rather do a few free mows than waste two weeks, including my birthday week in the 7th circle of hell.

Ex and Bro came over after I got back. Told Bro about the glorious thing and he told Ex he's glorious and it pissed her off which was funny. I forgot about Sungha Jung, though. I gotta go over his stuff again. Thanks for the recs.

And that SUCKS @RiceandChicken. Just make sure you start driving ASAP or you'll be like me trying to get all your hours in at the last minute, having to fudge hours.

 

[RiceandChicken]

Haha camp looks like shi* for you. Sucks dude. Just think positive. Maybe get a Bj from one of those fuglies? Lol shi* idk, but good luck.

And yes it sure does. I'm starting my driving hours today, want to get a start on it now because as school approaches I won't have time.

 

[Drook]

Lyrical Exercise

YOYOYOYOYOYO!!!

Past few days have been boring. Hence the lack of updates.

I got out of theater hell by promising to mow the lawn for free for the rest of the summer (we live on 11 acres) and helping out at science camp which is pretty much VBS but with science.

The HB6/alright chick I mentioned from VBS is there. Not sure if I wanna bother with her because she seems pretty christian. I caught her 180ing to look at me so I probably should just man up and do it since tomorrow's the last day. One of the moms who's counseling wants me to drive her daughter to this gym in town and said she'd pay me 5 dollars a trip to do it. She lives 6 miles away from the gym so I'd make gas money and a little bit more for my own drive. Her daughter's 13 but could be a bombshell in a year or two. She told her mom she think's I'm "cute" which is funny. If I got her on a good lifting routine and talked to her on car rides and stuff I could literally make an awesome girl which is weird to think about.

I'm thinking about boxing after school starts. I think my parents would cover it since they've always paid for my karate and BJJ stuff when I was younger and covered all my swim team sh!t. They like me being in sports. I think it makes them proud because I always excel. I was a brown belt in Tang Soo Do and third in the region last summer for my 50 free on swim team. I got blown out of the water last winter when I went from rec to USA league so I dropped it for lifting and 4-h camps. I feel like I should learn to throw a punch, though. I need some cardio too since I've stopped running after camp started. Fights are just fvcking awesome anyways. I want to knock somebody out, Muhammed Ali style. I know getting the **** beat out of you sucks but I think I can take it now.

Not sure how I'd continue lifting if I picked up boxing. Since I'd want to either stay around the same weight or bulk until I'm near the top of the next weight class. I need a job too. My dad knows the guy that owns this amazing Italian restaurant near me and he told me I could work there after I turned 16 one time when we were eating there. I'm not sure if he was serious or if they even need people but if I'm not bogged down with school, boxing and lifting I definitely want to work there.

School's gonna be crazy. I have to drive myself to tech school for welding class at like 7-8 in the morning, I get off around lunch and after that I have to go to another tech school for English 101 and Pre Algebra. Some days I'll be able to run to the house or a restaurant to eat but others I'll have to eat on the fly. Welding is 5 days a week but regular school is only 4 so I'll get a day off there to lift or work or whatever. Sh!t, maybe I'll start working with my dad. Who knows?

I almost forgot, though. Shorty messaged me today in all caps about how "FVCKING MAD" she is. I responded with something along the lines of "I'm not your gay gossip buddy so this better be interesting" Aus deleted her pictures off of Instagram and posted another girl for WCW(Woman Crush Wednesday) I told her she tried to fvck his friend and she asked who like she doesn't know. Then she said so and so told so and so so she had to say that to me which sounds like bullsh!t to me. I told he she's not very bright for some reason and she said something like "wow thanks for making me feel like **** again" I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED HERE. But I asked "When was the last time?" and she hasn't responded. I think this ****'s hilarious because I'm pretty much being the jerk. I'm just giving her sh!t and she keeps coming back and messaging me. I'm gonna be d!ck to her at mass this Sunday if I see her. I can't build up all this rapport for being a jerk over text and then limpd!ck it in person. Should be laff.

Before this even happened I messaged Ex to tell her that I'm not going to Bro's friend's party since Bro is a dumb@ss and lost his phone charger. We started going back and forth. Good text game going on. I cut it off while it was good though because, really, fvck her.

I read The 48 Laws of Power today. Dangerous stuff. I highly recommend going over it if you haven't already. I want to print it off or bookmark it on my phone so I can go over it whenever. It's basically a guide to being a manipulative, controlling bastard. Great stuff. I'm going to put some of it to use the next time I'm in a social situation. I want to go full dark side with this stuff. I'll yield when I feel I'm dominant in my social circle.

Gun-Shy

Craziest fvcking night.


I'm gonna start this post off with some things I've learned today:
1. My ex is a dyke and was cheating on me with Bro's girlfriend.
2. Don't cold approach from behind.
3. Don't fvck with wannabe punks no matter how innocent they seem.

Yesterday Bro came over and we talked for a long time about random stuff and I talked to Aus on the phone some and Bro ended up spending the night. Well we were chilling in my room and he started saying how his sister (Ex) is a dyke. I thought he was joking because I played Pink Triangle a few days ago and said it described all my past relationships as a joke ("I'm dumb, she's a lesbian, I thought I had found the one"). But he was serious and he said she told him how she was making out with his ex who he was with when I was with Ex, his girlfriend before that, half her friends. Bro was dead serious. I still half didn't believe him but he mentioned how his ex started biting his lip when they were making out later. And it clicked. Ex did the SAME THING TO ME AND WE WERE WITH OUR EXES AT THE SAME TIME SO THEY WERE MAKING OUT AND DOING THIS **** AND THEN DOING IT TO US. Bro's ex and Ex kept hanging out after they broke up too and it was freaking him out well now I know why. I was kind of pissed for the rest of the night.

Well the next day, today, I talked to Shorty at church and asked where my brownies were. She honestly looked pretty hot and was wearing this military-ish dress which is like my thing (wonder if that was purposeful since she knows my style). She rolled her eyes at me and we small talked for a while. I called Mon a pvssy for playing an alto sax. I didn't even know the difference but Bro plays and pointed it out.

So after mass me and Bro sat around at my house for a while, went to the fair to grab my pass since I had an exhibit and could go in for free. I message Aus and ask if he wants to go sarging with me and Bro tonight. He's down for it so I get my mom to give me and Bro a ride back later in the day when the rides opened. Well we're about to leave and Bro's like "****, Ex is coming to hang out with Sister" Sister was going to the fair to hang out with her other friend so she's kinda pissed, I'm really ****ing pissed because I found out that she was cheating on me when we were together and she's a dyke. I play Pink Triangle on the car ride and Bro started laughing. We pick up Aus and meet Sister's friend there(Sister is my younger sister if you haven't got that yet).

It wass pretty empty when we got there at 7pm but the rides had just opened and it was still light out so we screw around for a while. After it gets darker and more packed we start playing the 3 second game from SimplePickup where if the guy your sarging with points a chick out you have to be approaching within 3 seconds or do 10 pushups. Bro does a set of 10, then later talks to these chicks I knew from camp and ends up blowing himself out after he didn't get the chick's number. She came back later and gave it to him so they talked for a while. I do a set of 10 but Aus points out a set to me after that were walking away from us but were hot. Aus was too chicken**** to wingman so I follow them myself, tap one on the shoulder and say "yo, what's up?" in the most generic way possible. Well she fvking SCREAMS AND HIDES BEHIND HER FRIEND AND THEY KEEP WALKING AWAY. SO I'M LIKE FVCK AND I JOG BACK TO MY FRIEND WITH MY TAIL BETWEEN MY LEGS. First cold approach ever: blown. I scared the **** out of my target, didn't persist, bailed hard. In hindsight it was pretty funny but it ruined my mood for the rest of the night. It's easier to be a keyboard jockey and say "don't get down over fudged sets" then it is to actually do so in the field where so much is based off of what state of mind your in. I didn't approach for the rest of the night and neither did Aus. It turned out Bro's girl had a boyfriend (or they said she did) so that didn't go anywhere either.

After that me, Aus and Bro start playing this pitching game where you break glass bottles with baseballs and I'm just bumming balls off of them because I wasn't paying 5 bucks for a game that was hard as sh!t. Well Ex came around and Bro tries to bum five bucks off of her but she won't give it up. I ask her for some and she says no then asks if I'd pay her back. I flip her off mid sentence and she gets all pissed. I turn around and she has the money in her hand so I promise I'll pay her back and snatch it. She hits me in the head with her candy apple and calls me a jerk in a somewhat pissed tone. I just laughed at her because, really, fvck her.

After we wasted around 20 bucks on that game we start searching again and some random guy with a group points us out and says "Yo, let's just follow these guys around. Haha" so I'm like "YEAH, PARTY TRAIN" and start pumping my arms, train style and walk away. Well they're calling out at us and making noises after we started walking away so I flipped them off (I was pretty high energy all night) and kept walking. Later we run into them again and they yell at me to say sorry and I sarcastically say "I'M SO SORRY". We part ways again and a while after that, when we're leaving, they I pass the group again and the guy's staring at me yelling sh!t so I keep walking and the group follows. I'm freaking out internally at this point because a fight was about to go down, Aus is freaking out too because he knew it. Well while I'm walking I see a group of bros from camp and run over to them. The camp bros knew the douche fight starters so it all defused and I shot sh!t with them for a bit before going home adrenaline shot.

Yo but I said I might post a picture when I first started this journal. Well I Bro took a good one last night so I guess I'll give you guys a face to go off of so when chicks scream at me you know why.

I'm sorry if this post is ditzy but I'm writing it at 1am after the longest day I've had in a while. If anything doesn't make sense be sure to ask wtf I'm saying so I can clear it up.

I'm going to bed, though. Haven't had an 8 hour rest in a while. Beast.

 

[Jack Wealthy]

1) The only thing in pickup more fun than rejection is success. Honestly, if I had the choice of 100 rejections from approaching pushing too hard or one regret from either, I would pick the rejections. Every time I'm rejected I feel a little bit stronger. That adrenaline dump is your testicles waking up and your emotions becoming free.

2) You're pretty good looking. Definitely above average. Girls will often be freaked out if you approach from behind, would not recommend.

3) Negativity is the spice of failure. Negative thoughts and actions breed only negative responses. In your life, you flipped off a girl in an aggressive way to try and get a reaction. This is, on some level, needy and weak. In my life, my worst enemy will get a smile and a pat on the back. My worst enemy would probably help me move my house as well.

4) The punk guys were try-hard, your negative response made them want to try harder to give you an even MORE negative response. They're weak inside (negative people are reactive) so when you snubbed them, they felt defensive and decided to try and make you feel even worse negative emotion. If you had of just smiled and nodded at them, with solid eye contact, it would have gone away. Positivity smothers negative energy.

Somewhere over the Rainbow

@Jackwealthy

You summed up the night perfectly to be honest. My energy was too high and so was my ego. I think neediness is my #1 problem right now when it comes to pickup. I'm just glad to have my first cold approach out of the way, though. I'm definitely going to be more toned down and less reactive next time I go out.

But on a happier note:
Today was my birthday!

I turned 16 today. I went out with my mom and tested for my license. I was honestly pretty scared but I tried meditating while I was waiting and it helped calm my nerves, but I was still pretty adrenaline shot. She had me go through all the control stuff like lights, horn, brakes. When we got to the headlights I was stumped because the lights on the car, my mom's Jaguar, have always been on auto so I never touched it. The worst part of the test was me fvcking with the light stick for five minutes trying to turn it on in front of the instructor. I eventually figured it out and got to continue with the test. The second part was parallel parking which I had been dreading the most. You get three tries at it. I started backing in between the cones, nervous as ****, when the backup sensor started beeping. I was trying so hard not to laugh when I realized I had the sensor and didn't even have to watch the back cone to park. I ended up passing on my first try because I just backed up to the back cone until the sensor flat-lined. The last part was actually driving. My friend failed because he didn't stop at an intersection (lol) so I made sure I didn't mess up there. We didn't even go on the interstate, we just went around some back roads. The only part I messed up on was when I was messing with my speed and swerved into the other lane a bit.

I got back and the instructor told me I passed.

As soon as she walked back inside I started jumping around like a tard. Life begins now, guys. I got my license, a ride and some gas money so this is it. I even got a picture on my license that doesn't make me look like a five year old.

But yeah after I got my license I went to this fondue place in Reston, VA. It was fvcking amazing. I felt really guilty when I saw the bill was over $250, though. Especially since I asked my mom for gas money earlier today. After dinner we grabbed coffee and headed home.

I got some awesome presents when I got home. My parents had already bought me a 93 S10 with 65k miles on it from my uncle for $2,500 which I'm super grateful to have. So I wasn't expecting anything but the Warby Parkers I saw my mom order and her old beat up ukulele I found in the basement and asked for. Well I got the sunglasses (which are baller, by the way) and I got the ukulele in a new case. Well apparently it's a $800 Kamaka uke which is worth $600 in the condition it's in. So it's worth over 3x as much as my beautiful classical guitar. My mom was offered any ukulele in the store for it which surprised her because she's had it as a toy since she was little. I got that, the glasses, 2 lbs of saltwater taffy (thanks lil bro <3), misc candy, a sheetz card for gas money, a guitar strap, 36 dollars in 2 dollar bills from my grandfather in the mail and some other stuff I'm probably forgetting. Either way, awesome birthday.

I'm probably going to drive to the music store tomorrow, for the first time by myself, to get pegs put on my guitar for the strap. I'll also stop by the gas station to cash the Sheetz card in. My dad said I could work with him on Saturdays for gas money. If I work for him for 8 hours that's 80 bucks. 80 bucks = 2 weeks gas money. Working every saturday = 80 bucks every other saturday. If I can't get the job at the italian restaurant working for him would be a good alternative. Only problem is I'm giving up my only free morning.


All in all, awesome day. Can't wait to drive by myself and, once my parents trust me enough, go sarging at some malls. I'll probably post tomorrow since I'll be out and about. Beast.

Happy Birhday! Yes you should go sarging, daygame is good

Blurred Lines

Today was alright. Kinda boring. My mom ran off with my siblings to go run errands in the morning. I got to sleep in until 11 which was admittedly a bit much. I ate a huge-ass bowl of yogurt and granola for breakfast and sat around most of the day in a button down, boxers and my new sunglasses.

I called my mom after I ate breakfast and checked my streams. I asked if I could go to the music store to get pegs put on my guitar for the strap that I got and by the gas station to put some gas in the tank with the gift card that I got. She wanted me to wait until she got home, blah blah, listen to the phone so I could give her advice on which phone to buy my sister, blah. I wasn't about to run off after she said no and lose my keys on my first day of driving so I d!cked around on my guitar and uke some.

I call her like an hour later and she already picked a phone out so I go downstairs to lift. While I'm lifting I hear water running so I figure my dad got home and went to shower (he works construction so he showers most of the time when he comes home) I peek out of the workout room and it's putting it down hard. My mom gets back a bit later and said she had to pull off the highway because it was raining so hard. Which makes me worried because she won't let me go out if it's storming. Well I shower, eat dinner with the fam and it's not raining so me and my little bro who I'll call Mex go out.

Mex is the younger of my two brothers. Who are both younger than me at ages 12 and 7(?). I call him Mex because he looks like a Mexican. Skinny, with a South American complexion, dresses like a hood kid, has lightning bolts shaved into his haircut and likes any rap I put on. All my of siblings except for the youngest two who are adopted are 1/4 black, including me. I look white (obviously) but Mex and sister got the black genes and look Mexican or Indian.

Me and Mex get in the car with my guitar and some birthday taffy. I ask Mex what kind of music he wants me to put on and he cuts me off mid sentence and says "RAP!". So we're cruising listening to all the rap I have on shuffle. I pull into the gas station, pump gas, go inside to let Mex grab some candy, go out, pull out. As I'm pulling out I accidentally cut a lady off. Mex said she looked pissed. I felt really bad cause I didn't mean to but whatevs.

We get to the music store. The guy working there takes my guitar and puts the pegs on. It was only 10 bucks including labor so it was worth it. While I'm waiting a HB6.5 come out from the back of the shop and stands around for a while. I'm obviously checking her out, not sure if she works there or not. She notices me, walks over and asks if I need help I say nah, pegs, blah blah and she disappears into the store again. Weird encounter. I almost feel like I pulled her over without saying anything but she was probably just doing her job.

I took Mex to Baskin Robbins/Dunkin Doughnuts got coffee and icecream and drove home. It started raining on the way home but it was still an easy ride. Driving without a parent is actually really relaxing. I feel like I drive better without somebody judging me in the passenger seat.

It's gonna suck having to fill up the tank, though. I'm already under a 1/4 and it'll probably cost ~40 to fill it. My mom has $750 worth of bonds in my name so I want to see if I can open a bank account and put a debit card on it. Plus if I start working on the weekends I'll have regular checks. I got enough cash on hand to fill it for now though. I just gotta get my sh!t together if I want to be driving regularly. I'll also probably have to make some bullsh!t runs locally before my mom lets me drive to places like the decent malls that are 45mins-2 hours away to daygame.

Tomorrow I have to go with my family to some breakfast thing at 8am which is ridiculously early for me. Aus just got his car insurance this week so maybe I'll go sarging with him later in the week. Beast.

Electric Feel

Another long vss day. Nothing really accomplished.

My mom woke me up at like 7am. She's taking all the kids, I'm babysitting the youngest, don't go back to sleep. I get up, procrastinate making breakfast for a while. Call mom and ask if I can drive to bakery. Can't go to bakery but you can go to the cafe blah blah time constraints. Wake sister up. Leave. Almost T-bone some vsshole who pulls out in front of me when he's supposed to stop. Get coffee, doughnuts, come back home. Mom doesn't get back for another two hours. Sister complains to mom she hurt her head when I breaked for vsshole. P!ssed at sister for telling mom to start sh!t and not telling me. I could have went to the bakery and got better food for cheaper. Whatever.

Parents make me go to cabin with family because they're meeting friends for dinner blah blah social obligations. Play ukulele part of the car ride, pass out. Wake up to trees overhead, shades on, earbuds in, Mighty Morphin' Foreskin playing by Captain Murphy. Sit up, we're in the woods almost to the cabin. Sit there for a moment before I'm thrown across the car. Dad drove off the road. We walk half a mile to the cabin, they pull us out with a truck. Blah blah socializing with old people. Dinner, fvcking around in the woods with brothers, go inside and pass out, wake up, dinner, about to leave, dump some vodka into water bottle, tastes like ****, grab soda to rinse out the taste and smell, first time I've drank soda in forever, have to piss the entire car ride home.

Get home, watch Axe Cop, lift, new PR on bench, eat the last bit of protein in the house (cottage cheese), d!ck around on twitter and facebook, try to convince mom to let me go to a party where there won't be parents and there's gonna be schnapps, might go, d!ck around on computer, 3am, gotta write journal, write journal.

Probably gonna be dead on my feet tomorrow. Doesn't really matter. Not really interested in anybody in church social circle. Shorty has a new boy toy I think and Aus would get pissed and I'm probably just making excuses but whatever. Gonna shower and hit it. Beast.
