Day 1 Of No Internet, April 26, 2008
Well, the internet has kicked me off completely, folks. Nowhere to go, nobody to talk to, nothing to access. It will be like this for an estimated 5 to 8 days, until then, no internet. I’ll live, yeah, I won’t completely break down like some people do, like Gloria Gaynor says – I will survive! :D
I am just focusing my time to other things, exercise, movies, friends, random adventures, there is a ton I can do, even if my county is a complete boring shithole, where the local hangouts in town are the McDonalds and Food Lion store. Yes, folks, I’m not even kidding you. This town doesn’t have anything decent, no local pool, no local movie theater, no local arcade, no Wall Mart, no Mall, nothing. It is all boring, mostly.
I start off the day with my friend, Rob, coming over. We’re doing random shit and my lawnmower is once again, fucked up. Rob is visiting and helping me out with that, he helps me push it to the truck, which was like 400 feet of pushing through thick grass, yeah man, 2 dumb boys pushing a lawnmower all the way to a truck. The lawnmower is one of those you drive around, like a 4 wheeler or something.
I had in mind to visit one of my neighbors to get it fixed. Note: These neighbors are poor rednecks, overweight, poor, live in a very very small house, live on welfare, little education in their minds, yes, bottom of the barrel. 9 out of 10 times, they can fix your shit though and my lawnmower is an absolute fuck up. I decide Rob and I will do that.
We drive a mile down to there place and knock on the door, a large redheaded red skinned redneck is there to greet us. He’s probably 400 something pounds, short, looks like your typical redneck. He is rather friendly though. I’ll identify him as “Redneck #1” for now. I’ve sold lawnmowers and bicycles to him before so he knows me somewhat.
Quick notes: I’m wearing a bandanna with a peace sign on it and a black tank top, my thick hair is rising up and occasionally blowing about in the wind. Rob’s wearing redneck type clothes. [He is a country boy as well.] Redneck #1 is wearing some sweaty t-shirt and just looks like he is poor as hell. [and he is.]
Justin: “Hey man.”
Redneck #1: “Hay buddy!”
Justin: “Yeah, my lawnmower is having problems, was wondering if you want to come by and we’ll let you hang on to it to fix it up.”
Redneck #1: “Alright, man, a sure thing.”
Justin: “Alright, sweet, thanks man.”
*Redneck #1 hops onto back of truck and Rob starts the truck up with me next to him.*
Rob: “Whoa man, his belly keeps getting bigger and bigger.”
Justin: “Haha, yeah. He’s good at fixing things though.”
We all arrive at my place and we put the lawnmower on the truck, I had to hop onto the back to grab the lawnmower in so this time, Redneck #1, aka Louie, is inside the truck with Rob. Rob drove the truck up to Louie’s faster than usual, probably hoping that driving faster would piss me off since I’m sitting in the open, the wind blowing on me, but I loved it. The wind feels good blowing your hair back like that, y’know? :D
We all arrive at Louie’s, one more redneck fat man comes out and some little kid as well.
Myself, Louie, and Rob put the lawnmower off the truck.
Little Redneck Boy: “Wow! Papa! Here’s another thing to work on!”
Redneck #2: “Rudy, you keep your dern mouth shut, boy!”
Little Redneck: “I’ll get to help fix er up, roight?”
Redneck #2: *grunts*
Justin: “So you help Papa out with this kinda stuff, eh?”
Little Redneck: “Yup! I always help Papa!”
Justin: “Alright, well, I’ll give ya 20 dollars for now to get some things needed for it.” *hands over 20 to Louie*
Louie: “Yeeehaw yes sireee, I’ll get roight to work on it!”
*Louie, Redneck #2, and Little Redneck are trying to push the lawnmower by their garage, they are having difficulty.*
Justin: “It’s a hassle man, doesn’t like to be pushed around, it’s like a stubborn ol’ woman.” :P :P :P :P
*All 3 rednecks give a “hee hee haha!” laugh and Rob and I laugh as well*
Haha, well after that, Rob and I get back to my place and his ass is lying on the couch while I type all that just happened, it’s only 11:24 AM, I wonder how my e-buddies are doing? Off for now…more to come! :P
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3:24 P.M.
Well, I’ve done quite a bit since 11:24 A.M. Rob and I went into town, we went to Christian’s Pizza, some really good pizza! I got myself a beef and bacon slice of pizza and a pepperoni and sausage pizza. Rob got two spicy chicken pizzas. We downed those and got a few thing’s from Sam’s Club, as we were leaving there, I saw a little girl that must have been like 4 or 5 I guess, she was staring at a gumball machine and obviously wanted a gumball, so I put in two quarters for her and she got herself a gumball. It was cute, she smiled happily and repeated “thank you” and I just smiled and said “You’re welcome.” Her mother also smiled and thanked me, it made me feel pretty good inside and it was only for giving up two quarters, Rob couldn’t help but laugh at me, haha. It was a simple thing to do and it made someone really happy, so in turn, it makes me feel really happy, just doing one little deed. ^_^
Then we dropped off some CD’s at a friend of mine’s house. As we did that, it all of the sudden just poured rain nonstop and heavy for like 10 minutes and then after that, it was bright and sunny as if nothing happened! I love it when that happens, man! Good ol Summer weather! We ended up soaked and as we were driving around in that rain, there was this car dragging this platform with chairs on it and these old people sitting on it had chairs over their heads! They were trying to not get wet! I couldn’t help it, I laughed out loud! It was hilarious! :P
Rob and I drove back to Louie’s and the lawnmower was fixed, I paid Louie a $50 and had to drive the lawnmower back to the house as Rob drove the truck back. We got the lawnmower back and Rob and I went are separate ways. Now, I’m home, enjoying this nice thunderstorm outside! I got to mow the lawn right before the storm. So yeah, this was a nice day, thought I blog about it, even though I cant actually post it on my blog yet. It’ll be there soon and you can read of my times without being online for a few days, well, take care! I’m going to run outside and enjoy this thunderstorm!! :D
Day 2 Of No Internet, April 27, 2008
9:28 P.M.
Well, today’s been one of those days, not much has been done today for me to be honest. I’ve just been relaxing, watching movies, playing music, etc. I haven’t gone outside very much today compared to yesterday. I woke up around 7:00 and had my breakfast, pancakes and syrup. I heard of the unfortunate news of Chris Long, who was my favorite player off my favorite college football team for years, was drafted by my least favorite National Football team, the St. Louis Rams, damn!! I was pissed about that but happy for Chris anyways, but it will suck because my favorite team plays the Rams twice a year. L
He was drafted 2nd overall and another Virginia player, Brandon Albert, was drafted 15th overall. I’m happy for both of them turning pro and being picked so early, I had a lot of fun going up to their games last season and other previous seasons. Another previously graduated player I liked, Tom Santi, also managed to get drafted.
I slouched around in the living room and watched a movie I like, Predator, it’s a really good Sci-Fi action one with Governor Ahnuld! “Get to da chopppaaaaaa!!” :D
I spent some time working on a new story I’ve decided to write. It’s called, “1,2,3,4, What Are We Fighting For?” and it’s about a guy who unfortunately, is drafted to the Vietnam war, fucking all of his hopes of playing professionally with his band and being with the woman of his dreams. The main character is named Johnny “Huxley” Armstrong and is mainly based off my own persona, even having my nickname as his main name. If you want to read it, just let me know and I’ll send it to ya. :D
I’ve played guitar for countless hours in my boredom state, my fingers are feeling so weird, man, lol. I played both, the Ovation acoustic and the Yamaha electric for what must have been a combined total of 5 hours today. I also played a stench of harmonica and electric keyboard as well.
I’ve found time to work out as well, I like to try and keep in shape. A little bit of lifting and I’ll admit, I own an Ab-Lounge to make sure my belly doesn’t become huge! :P
I think I’m going to try and grow sxe abs, look out folks! :P :P :P :P
I talked with my dad about the roadtrip thing and it’s sounding better and better! He’s been and lived in California in the past and is very familiar with it. He’s got friends who’ll let us stay with them for times and he also told me there might be naked beaches, where you basically have to strip down completely naked to fit in, haha. He told me they might not still be around but might still be, we might check those out. It’s pretty interesting though. We talked of what music to bring and how many concerts we would hope to attend and such, all that good shit. My dad and I are pretty close.
What does Justin look like? Ahh, something everyone’s been wondering. Well, you may know, soon! We’ll probably have a camera with us so some pics will be taken I imagine. I could upload some pics onto the blog and you will all know what I look like, I just hope your monitors don’t break once they reveal me! :P :P
I also watched the Wolf Trap concert DVD from the Doobie Brothers concert I attended a few years ago, the one where I saw Keith Knudsen and sort of predicted it’d be the last time I’d see him. Yeah, long story, it’s in a past blog post I did, called “Whooooooo!” I think, it’s about a Doobie Brothers song, What A Fool Believes. That’ll explain that whole crazy story. ^_^
Well, yeah, today was just one of those days. Sit around, relax, do silly shit, and what not. Anyways, take care! I can’t wait until I can actually share all this bullshit with all my online buddies! Oh, and eventually see the new choochooloco video, the wait has been such a bitch! Haha! :D
Day 3 Of No Internet, April 28, 2008
7:22 P.M.
Overall, today was a crummy long day. L
It was dark and rainy, not very warm at all. I had a headache for most of the day and about every moment of the day kicked shit in my face and sucked…but there were these 3 minutes and 42 seconds that were absolutely amazing! J
I managed to get on a computer away from home for about 10 minutes and got to YouTube, which is typically blocked, but somehow, I got lucky. There, I FINALLY saw the new choochooloco video! :D
It was like the Thai commercial moments, once the video started, I heard the dramatic victorious music and felt my spirits jump high, like it were an impossible goal that I just completed! I felt so happy, I finally saw the choochooloco video and it was LOLZY material! Waaaay awesome!! :D :D
Yeah, that was easily the highlite best moment of my boring and awful day. So, thanks Sharlene and Ashley! ^_^
It seems I might have the new modem tomorrow for the internet, not completely sure, but it may just be here tomorrow, so all this silly shit I’ve typed may be on the blog soon and actual real people besides myself can read and comment! Weeee! Now I’m not completely talking to myself!! :D :D
9:53 P.M.
Okay, I remember where Sharlene instructed me to go to record myself on my computer, so out of major boredom, I decided to try it! I cannot help but start laughing at my own voice clips! God! I’m so fucking gay! Hahahaha!! :D
I even recorded my reaction to “My Little Pony” so if you want to see that, I’ll send it to you! [if I know your e-mail of course] and I guess I could send other stupid recordings too. A quick FYI, the My Little Pony recording is 41.50 seconds! :P :P
Also, this Friday, I am going to another Eli Cook concert! This one is completely free too! :D
Okay, goodnight!! See you all back on the internets, tomorrow?? <333 :D
Day 4: 8:47 P.M.
I am finally back….someone hold me! :( :(
