weird going to the flaming lips concert for the last half hour of free SO-Co-ness on my lonesome...found myself mostly people watching & technology watching..the little camera glued to the microphone to get the distorted wide angel of the lead singers face which also captured the screen directly positioned behind the band creating a feedback loop when there wasn't any other video feed coming through was nifty...good use of visual effects without really using canned effects...i was such a dork that I even took a picture of the backdrop & mic after the performance had ended..
..was actually trying to meet up w/ a friend, but didn't find her, so thought I would make use of me hauling my ass over there..then tried to go to the terrace, saw someone I knew, but they were in line to get a sig from one of the earlier musicians, so continued on pursuit to find ms. Jenny, only to realize a half hour later when sittin on the computer that she had already headed back to whitewater, but that's allright, I'm online which is something I cannot do at the moment on my own time because my puter is still out on repair...but heck, if it actually works for more than a couple days after I have waited 2 wks+ to get it back I will be happy, because it's only been since before 4/20 that the screen has been broken..yes, indeed.
we are spoiled people here in madison..lost of free entertainment all over the place..
hard to keep a focus if you do actually have a task at hand..
dunno..think I should get back on my bike and head home though..
my wrist and fingies are starting to tense up a bit..
until the next unforseen time,

why, why do I even bother w/ ungrateful bastards similar to myself...
they don't deserve the time of day or night for that matter...and it literally makes me cry..
i need something else in my life..fuck this.
fuck this.
this is how i feel right now. i don't care if it is crass, because that is what it is..
and i'm sure i will have a problem w/ it later because i have a problem w/ it now..in fact i probably
woke up my neighbors upstairs becasuse I screamed so loud..
okay, so maybe a cigarette would have helped...i haven't had one of those in a very very long time.
keep me from getting all beligerant..............................mother fucker.
yeah, i hear pounding upstairs..must have woke them up if they weren't already...
nice...i'm sure it will happen both ways as the year goes on, so it's okay...i won't claim to be superior in the pouding or
less pounding/noise factor...even if it is..i don't keep a tally..and how can you when the other person is a away anyway..
so i'm gonna just stop bantering for now and leave it up to the next rant to take a deep breath and scream!
yeah.
suck my....

..so I worked at the craftshoppe tonight..came back & went to meet up w/ amber and her new boy at the cap hill grill near my house..wasn't overjoyed at first to be there...too tired and bummed out and what not, but had an okay time...biked back and the sprinklers were on by the retirement home next to my house..of course saw some people making out in the sprinklers, taking their clothes off..I was a little jealous..had to go around them through the grass and probably got more wet than I should have..interesting times...
I dunno.there was a large woman knitting while dancing to the cover band at the grill..that was interesting..wondering what other things she can do while knitting..the possibilities are endless..
got to go the farmers market and get some good eatins..it's been a while...

| humor test... |
[Feb. 12th, 2006|09:11 pm] |
the Wit
(57% dark, 38% spontaneous, 36% vulgar)
|
your humor style:
CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK
You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.
I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer.
Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate, but it's also the best, in my opinion.
You probably loved the Office. If you don't know what I'm
talking about, check it out here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/.

So. it's been a while hey. But I think yesterday warrants some ljing, so here it goes:
I went back home to fort/whitewater to party/meet up w/some friends last night & the plan was to meet in this morning & asess what I need to do about the leaky half-bald tires I have on my lovely car.
My dad decided that we would switch cars w/ me because he also discovered the alignment was off on my carbesides, it having 227 thousand-something miles on it & the numerous other things that are wrong w/ it. He purchased this other car (a Dodge Aries I think) a few months ago & didn't really use it more than a couple of time because he was trying to decide whether to resell it or what not. It was in good working order the last time he drove it, so it appeared to be a big improvement on the white 1986 olds that some of you have been so lucky to be a passenger of.
So I take off from my parents house for work to be there around12:30. I'm coming into Cambridge (a very very small town known for pottery, off of Hwy 12 if you areunfamiliar), I was running kinda low on gas, but my father said I would make it Madison fine. But, as my car slowly decellerated I was thinking that he was wrong. I came to a stop on Main & took the gas can out of my trunk & proceeded down main street towards the nearest station. I happened to see a truck w/ it's turn signal going in that direction so I flagged it down & luckily it was an older couple w/ not much to do. I found out the only reason they were even driving around was to go fill up their tank, so agreeing to drive me there & back wasn't out of their way at all. In fact they were so nice the man paid for the gallon & a half that I needed to fill my little plastic red baby. The grandmother related me to her
grandkids while she knitt her purple yarn together. Since they were doing a good deed, the same might happen to them if they run out of gas or have car trouble.
So, I get back to my car & take what it seemed to a good 5 minutes to empty that thing into my tank. I try to start my car and it won't turn over. So, I guess I didn't run out of gas after all, I did have a quarter tank as my gauge told me. My dad was still at the house in fort, so in the meantime I was communicating w/ him & he would be showing up shortly.
In the meantime I did get quite a few people stopping to see if I was allright, a man helped me check my oil, because this was the first time for me looking under this hood,things were a bit harder for me to find. Mind you, I really needed an oil change, there was plenty of oil. One of my brother's friends, a guy who I was in youth group guy with named James Connell stopped on the way back from work to see if I was allright & a guy on a Harley w/ a Smirnoff jacket stopped as well. He asked if I had someone coming & I said my father would be showing up soon, but he proceeded to hand me a wad of cash. He said people my age always need a little help, driving cars like this that break down frequently,etc(Examining it later it turned out to be 60 dollars!)
When my dad came around w/ his beat up white pick-up & a tow rope & we manuvered it into the Piggly Wiggly parking lot. (I was heavy on the brake the whole time of course because I didn't want to ram into the back of him coming down the hill, those things are a little scarey.) With my father behind the wheel of the pick-up I got to work about 2pm instead of 12:30. And as it seems having your car break down in Cambridge is actually a somewhat lucrative experience if you have a free towing service anyway. Seeing as I only get paid $8/hr & I was scheduled to work 5 hours, I only lost 12 bucks worth of working time & I made 5 times that being stuck on Main Street in Cambridge for about an hour. (And no, I did not give any sexual favors to the biker.) |

...so I'm actually at work right now, but they have a wonderful laptop sitting on the counter hence giving me the ability to type this...whoo hoo!
We had our first official party I guess at my place last Saturday. Was okay I guess. I enjoyed making cake for Tony's birthday & seeing people I don't see a lot of(Amanda, Rob, Tony, Bill, Jason) But I just wasn't feelin' the Cardinal due to various reasons, even ended up falling asleep & having the bar tender tell me I couldn't be there if I was going to sleep. Anyway they didn't kick me out, but didn't get home until 3:30 somehow only to find lovely Jason in my bed taking over my normal sleeping position. Needless to say, I did steel a pillow for myself & pressed myself against the wall as far from him as possible.
One good outcome of that party was the next morning Jason let me download a bunch of stuff onto my iTunes--so now I have ENVY, Murder City Devils, Death from Above 1979 & Interpol (Antics)...good stuff..
Think this may be the start me back into the heavier music listening...anyone have any suggestions of music if I enjoy that of Envy?
Also: Anyone interested in going to see Interpol on the 13th of March let me know. I'm pretty sure I"ll be going myself...

good news about finding a place in madison. I'm going to look at a house tomorrow! This is a place that I looked at once before about a couple weeks ago, but the landlord was finishing up some stuff on the other portion of the house, which we (my friend Sara & I) were a little more interested in renting...looks like this might be the place...pretty close to the capital, not sure about parking, but I'm sick of driving so much anyway, so maybe I'll start taking the bus places instead....dunno, but I'm a little sick of living out of my car &now w/ winter, snow,etc I'd rather not be commuting as much & mooching off other peeps for places to stay all the time....................
oh yeah, it's really close to Paradise- a bar that I happen to kind of like......& haven't been to in a while....maybe I can become one of those that has a drink there every night after work........or something.......heh
all I know is I want to get out of these damned shoes I've been standing in all day & this ridiculous Cam. Co stinking shirt of mine.........
can't decide whether to go home through the slushy shit & drive back in the snow early tomorrow morning or stay in madison tonight......
my plan was to go back to the parents, but rationally speaking driving doesn't sound like the bestest of ideas seeing as my rear view mirror is dangling rather than mounting on my windshield......hm......but I kinda would like to sleep in my nice bed tonight....dang it............... |

I don't really want to talk right now, but I feel like I have to cuz i want to cry

& then kick & put a knuckle sandwich through the wall
& then fall off a bridge & when I'm still not dead..
slit my wrists & then after that cut open my jugular & then....
okay, well maybe it's not really that bad.
"incompatible", yeah, if we went on fucking match.com we wouldn't match in probably anything except probably part of the fucking music category
but I knew this months ago.
maybe I should stick w/ internet dating...it probably would be more sucessful. |

| "It Happens" (uh huh..on my lap) |
[Aug. 6th, 2004|05:11 pm] |
Allright...well, my friend Becca has this Corporate Card that she charges to when she goes one "business." mmhmm. This seemed like it was going to be an awesome thing after I decided to meet up with her last night. Had a couple spotted cows to start the evening out and I didn't have to spend a dime. What wasn't so awesome was when I decided to drink three too many double jack and cokes and threw up all over my lap and the sweater that Becca was so nice to have lent me. Not only that but I picked a very nice spot right in front of the doorway to colapse into, even the bartender who had been serving me all night came running in to take care of the catastrophe I was making the Ladies room to be. Felt, a little bit like a jack-ass. And I know I was apologizing to no end and heard "It happens..." way too many times out of various people's mouths. Besides that, Brett was out for a night on the town with his Sociology folk and he had to be beckoned away to carry my drunk ass home at about midnight-ish. This timing wasn't so bad because he did in fact have to wake up for a job at 8 a.m., but I had a vomety stench ALL over me-yes, even my drunken self couldn't stand it. Before my stench got to the point of permeating Brett's entire apartment, I hurled my body into the shower. And just last week I was having the conversation related to the fact that I couldn't remember the last time I threw up due to alcohol. I have a habbit of jinxing myself I guess.
"Beer before liquor, never been sicker." Maybe that was the problem.
Also: Remember not to lend me your sweater if you're buying me drinks. |

| Party tonight in Whitewater- 215 N. Prairie |
[Jun. 3rd, 2004|11:00 am] |
..so here's the little update you all were waiting for the day of, of course..heh
who: party is for Jenny Wegner (housemate and friend)and to celebrate moving into this lovely abode.
what: she is turning 21 at midnight and to celebrate prior we are having live music done by the Mountain Lions (a reggae-rock group) and we also will have New Glarus on tap (most likely one spotted cow barrell and another more expensive one)
where: like said before 215 N. Prairie (it's a stone house with a small porch right across from Heide Hall)
when: Thursday, June 3rd, music starting at 9pm and going probably until lil before midnight when we go to the bars to celebrate the birthday action...afterbar at the house...a possibility;)
suggested donation: 5 bucks, and this is extremely cheep because if there are 50 people who actually pay they might break even (on beer cost) and Jenny told the band she would pay them 20 bucks a piece, so more donations are welcome as well...but if you're flat broke we'll see what we can do.. |

| 69-97 will be No LOnger..... |
[May. 31st, 2004|01:35 pm] |
Just to let you know folks, after today (Monday, May 31st-Memorial Day) the lovely number of (262)473-6997 will be dead. (Well, it will be dead to me because I will no longer live there.) Make sure you give it an extended moment of silence. I'm planning on signing up for some kind of-what they call- a "cell phone," but until then if you really need to contact me by phone you can leave a message at my parents house- it's a fort-ass-kickin number,which is listed under the good ol' "American Tire Co." in the white pages.
thanks guys.
p.s. If for some reason you do decide to call the 69-97 #, there is a slight chance (depending who you get)they would give you my other number, but most likely will get a very rude bi-polar person on the other end that sounds like they would stick a knife in you if they had the chance, so I don't highly reccomend it. |

| where exactly am I living right now...... |
[May. 28th, 2004|09:22 pm] |
hey folks..
..well, just got over another nasty case of strep throat(I had it back at the end of January and I guess it's going around again, so watch out)-thank the lord for anti-biotics!
..I'm out of my place at Prince street by the first of June, which is only in a couple days, and still have a lot to pack up. I was originally just gonna move all my stuff to my parents house temporarily, but the place where Jenny and Chou Chun (the other two housemates moving out because of certain cercumstances), are moving to actually had another bedroom. I came and looked at their place, and there was no way I would pay what they were paying to stay there for a couple months, but it turned out a couple days ago the landlord called up and decided he really wanted another tennant or more money from the two of them, so I said I would live there if it cost me the same for what I would have paid at Prince street (about 250/summer.) And Randy (the landlord) agreed, so now I have a place in whitewater until August 12th, which is good because I didn't want to just be at the parents because we all know how well that turns out. The thing is, at this new place, I don't exactly have my own personal room right now because half the ceiling is torn off and being redone. Prior to knowing I was gonna have this place I had been moving some stuff to the parents, so I feel a bit confused of where the hell all my stuff should go. At the moment I have 3 homes, guess that's kinda cool, but it is a little confusing, at least for miss hej..cuz you know how she is...
anyway...the last hurrah for me @ 158 N. Prince Street is going to be Sunday, May 30th! so come by with some wine or beers or whatever and say goodbye, hello, or whatever you feel appropriate! Stop by if you're still in town or not--It'll be a fun time! phone: 262-473-6997
-the hej
p.s. The new place in Whitewater is 215 N. Praire (a stone house right across from Heide Hall, if you're familiar with U.W.W.)
There will be a party with live music (a reggae band called the "Mountain Lions") on Thursday, June 3rd-more details to come.. |

[May. 10th, 2004|01:31 am] |
wow. this weekend..
i had a mental breakdown on friday. handed in my 8-10 page paper, which only contained 1 page of actual content.
but had fun at the blue moon tavern later that night after the banquet.
the next day i agreed to play ultimate frisbee after weeks and weeks of no real exercise (we had 5 matches). yes, i am an athlete. but now i feel like a cripple. & i'm burnt to hell on mostly on my chest and neck. it was wonderful to finally we outside enjoying the weather tho.
too bad the whole phenomenon of having more energy after the exercise didn't work for me. doot doot doo..
it seems to me that deep down I just want to fail some classes so I won't graduate after all...
WHAT the hell Heidi?
what the fuck is inside that head of yours?
..em..perhaps spaghetti...
w/ or without meatballs?
haven't decided.
