Friday, May 31, 2002 get you! there's a new skyy vodka ad featuring a sid and nancy sort of characters, and the idiot punk looking guy is having his glass filled with the vodka and he's giving that stupid sid snarl fingering for more vodka to be poured in. this has got to top the stupidest ads ever. i think this guy should be in good charlotte. also, this "punk" girl has a spider ring that looks as if she won it at an arcade with skee-ball scripts. very punk! i want to punch these two in this ad. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 2:44 AM hopefully my parents won't read this page before my bro gets to tell them the news. i thought my bro was going to propose to angela this weekend, in vegas, but it was tonight. so i went over to help with the preparations. angela was in chicago for business, so, since she works from home, this was the only time chad could do this surprisingly. he called me earlier today to tell me, and i thought he was going to marry her this weekend, because he said, "i'm going to do what duey did." what duey did was get married, so i assumed, based on the way he said it, that he was going to marry her in vegas this weekend. so i asked him, "are you guys going to go through a drive-thru?" then i was informed that he was just going to propose, which makes more sense, because angela is the type to want a full wedding. they've been the talk of weddings for quite some time now, and i was very happy to hear that he wanted to propose to her. i like angela a lot, she and chad complement each other very well. so anyway, skipping all the sappy crap, she said yes, and all's good! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 2:33 AM Thursday, May 30, 2002 get you! i'm watching a thanksgiving episode of king of the hill, and dale dropped john redcorn (an indian) at the airport. upon dropping him off he asks john redcorn, "hey, do your people even celebrate thanksgiving?" to which john redcorn replied, grudgedly (is that a word?), "we did... once!" Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 12:08 AM Wednesday, May 29, 2002 get you! ps, i hate this fax machine at work. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 11:27 AM Tuesday, May 28, 2002 get you! so i got to work and set my cell ring to low. i did and then it wouldn't stop ringing. and since it doesn't have a display anymore - because my phone's a bitch and i was thinking of getting a new one because of that - i couldn't see what i set it one and why the hell it's doing that. so i shut the phone off and turn it on, and now i have a display. i guess my point is, should i still get another phone? i want one without a flip open thing. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 6:25 PM muh fayice! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 4:33 PM Monday, May 27, 2002 get you! hey, sheri, which story is that? the lando one? Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 12:42 PM "that's why they call me the king of the bop!" you know, if i'd kept up with my homework, i'd have a clear and free weekend, but since i didn't, i'm stuck doing this all week. oh, well!! i think there's just a few more weeks of school!!! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 12:41 PM Sunday, May 26, 2002 get you! all i can say about lando is, don't trust anyone with a cape. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 2:02 AM Saturday, May 25, 2002 get you! i figure that i'd say this because it's been happening a lot recently. when you're calling around to get rates for anything, and you're not happy with a rate quoted, why are you going to get mad and argue for? the whole idea for calling around for rates is to get the best rate out there and go with that, isn't it? it's not like by asking for a rate that you're obligated to pay that price and nothing less. it's very frustrating to see how stupid people really are. i mean, you read and hear about people like this all the time, but you never deal with them until you've been in customer service. i wish i could look back at this and laugh. i should start bringing a tape recorder to work to tape my conversations and release a "best of breht's phone calls." Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 6:02 PM i actually remembered to bring the hey mercedes to work. it was at the last minute before i closed the door to leave to work. point is, i remembered. right now, i'm not listening to it. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 12:06 PM Friday, May 24, 2002 get you! i've just dealt with the most stupidest person ever. she calls asking for rates, which i give her and she says, "how come it's that much?" "what do you mean why?" "they told me you do it for $20!" "who told you that?" this call goes on for 20 minutes with me telling her - by the way, she's foreign so it makes it that much harder to communicate - that there's no way we can do a job for $20, and that even if she stands right outside of lax and gets a ride in, that would be at least $40. then she tells me where she wants to go to, so i give her that rate which comes to about $60, and she says, "that's quite a jump from $20 to $60!" "ma'am, i keep telling you, we didn't quote that rate. did you just make that rate up? i mean, did you actually call up and got quoted that rate, or is that the rate you want, because if it is, you should just hang up, because we won't service you. you should call a cab company, this is a limousine service." "okay, so what would you charge to santa monica?" "i told you $59.50!" "that's too much." i actually wished i taped this conversation. in the long run, it would probably be funny. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 5:32 PM one more thing, i've been meaning to bring my hey mercedes cd for the past few months. i have it at home, and i always remember when i'm on the road already. my cell also has no display anymore. that's okay, because i'd like to get a new phone; one that doesn't flip open. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 1:44 PM that's a very good article. things should be looking better for me now, or at least i hope so. i think that movies should only have one trailer each. everytime there's more than one, all that does is ruin the movie. also, all the media things, behind the scenes all that shite ruins them also. for the most part, like a teen movie, no one gives a shit what the actors or actresses think about the movie or anything. i hate cold coffee. i got a call from one of the fliers which i posted the other night. doesn't matter, because i've got a roommate already. i think! it's not confirmed till contracts are signed, which i want to get taken care of right away. i think it's a response from one of the fliers i posted at the college down the road, because all the other fliers i posted around the neighborhood are not there anymore. is it illegal to post? i still hate proms! i need to go grocery shopping. the get-up kids are in two weeks, and i wish i could be happy, but i'm not. at least not yet! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 1:37 PM Thursday, May 23, 2002 get you! i think i may have mentioned this but I HATE FUCKING PROMS!. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 4:05 PM if there's one thing that i can't stand is that everytime i deal with something important, it never works out and everything becomes such a fucking hassle. example, after all that shit i've gone through with the financial aid office, i get a letter yesterday stating that i'm still missing things. funny thing, too, is they gave me a deadline to turn it in by. fuck you! let's just say that the semester ends mid june, when i give them this crap it'll take 6-8 weeks to process and give me what i need. how the hell does that work out. it's taken them over a fucking semester to get this far, and there's still no progress. i think it's about time to roll some heads! good coffee today! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 12:45 PM Wednesday, May 22, 2002 get you! so i actually watched celebrity boxing tonight, mainly for the fact i could see screech and chyna. i thought chyna did all right, but joey held her back and didn't put up a fair fight. it may be that i just hate joey. there's also this thing on the news about a playboy photographer who was down in san padre during spring break, who was snapping pics and took one of a certain girl, whom they are all infatuated with and want to shoot (not take care of her) her. i don't really know what to think of this. it has to do with college partying and typical male stuff, so that may be what turned me away from it. dan castalanasdkfjjs... the guy who does homer's voice is having a piece on the news tonight. there's also this new reality show crap called cheaters. what they do is they have a suspicion of their significant other cheating, so they go to the show, who hires private investigators to spy on them to see if it's true. if it is, they give that person a chance to confront the cheater. some got pretty violent. anyway, i think it's good, because cheaters are assholes and deserve any sort of discomfort or whatever. but it's still a reality show, which i hate with a passion. how far do we go? reality shows sucks. there was one successful one, and then all the stations - who basically are admitting that they have nothing original/creative to offer us - decides to make as much of those shows as possible. same thing happens when who wants to be a millionaire was so successful. all of a sudden, there's all these stupid game shows out there. that's basically what our world has come to, see something good and rip it off no end. brett shall leave... stop watching tv, brett. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 10:47 PM it wasn't the first master of shinobi i meant, it was the first master in ninja gaiden. you know, that huge guy with the swinging sword, and you have to jump and bounce off the wall to jump over him and then attack? Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 10:31 AM i saw episode ii last night, and was very much impressed. there were a lot of unnecessary stuff in there, but the overall movie was very bad ass. it's the best way to do a second part for a trilogy. besides meeting the senate and anakin, episode i doesn't really have much to do with the rest of the star wars saga. i feel that we should've skipped episode i, start off with meeting anakin and amidala (sp), and use that for the beginning of episode ii, but then call episode, episode i. what they hell was that sound of music scene? i didn't like that one bit. nor did like those fucking cow things in the pasture. i don't like when george just uses a natural existing thing in our world and makes it an alien. that's not very creative now is it? ridiculous. yoda fight scene was bad ass. it reminded me of that first level master in shinobi. the only thing was that, for someone who fights like that, why does he walk around so frail and with a cane? does he fight once a century and that uses up all his energy? also, what's with the samoans? are they using them just so they could possibly use the rock in episode iii? wierd. boba fett, though, looks like that one kid who wanted to marry his teacher and had two kids with her. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 10:16 AM Tuesday, May 21, 2002 get you! oh, one other thing, i HATE FUCKING PROMS! all the reservations we have for them always screws up, they always call ten million times to change things, re-confirm, it's just so fucking irritating, and i'd rather not deal with them. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 6:12 PM if today is not the most irritating day in the history of the world... i've been getting ridiculous calls after ridiculous calls all day long. then, to top it all off, you've got incompetent (sp) drivers, who need constant babysitting or all hell breaks loose. then, like now, i'm in the other room, so this computer has no phone here. which means that everytime the phone rings, i need to get up to go over an answer the phone. just now, it happened three times, all after i answer them and as soon as i sit, it rings. hence, i need to stand up and go answer it. then, i've been getting calls where i need to go to the other room to get information for them... it's just not fun today. it's a holiday on friday, so there's no school, which means that my 7:45 class = no dice! that's cool, but that's the only thing i benefit from for that day of no school. but i guess it works out, because monday = all day, all classess = no dice! thank god for soldiers. as for tonight, tonight = episode ii. no hopes at all, as to not be let down, but i fear it anyway. i'm way to tired to be working, i'm outs! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 5:46 PM Monday, May 20, 2002 get you! i was thinking of doing something else with the new pics up, but i got lazy so that's it for now. apparently, the night before we see the wwe in anaheim for a house show, they will also be working it in hawaii for a house show. bizarre! hopefully, this will be the event to see hogan and then he can go play lawnbowling at the beverly glen park. so i think that i'm seeing episode ii tomorrow night. don't know what to think of it, yet! i'll definitely have an opinion tomorrow night. be back later, raw is still going on, and austin and eddie guerrero are at a bar, and eddie is singing horribly. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 10:46 PM picturebox: black crowes - she talks to angels (snl performance) nothing to talk about right now. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 1:55 PM Sunday, May 19, 2002 get you! friday night, we went to this part in ucla, and that place was full of jerks. first off, everyone just hangs by the keg - the most popular place in the party - making it hard to navigate around. great place guys! then, these jerks who have no sense of humor and want to start shit! ninthly, guys who live there, making a big deal over cooking a $1 pizza, treating us like idiots until they find out we're with one of the boyz in their house. shitheads! anyway, we made it fun, and even though andrew w.k. wasn't there, we partied hard! saturday was duey's wedding. pretty slow going, but it worked. we were supposed to take pics at the park, but since we didn't eat, me and mike went to in-n-out to grab some grub and meet them in the park. funny thing, we got there while they were leaving, hence, we missed the whole picture taking scene. good deal! we pulled on the side to eat, looking to the left to see a lawn bowling game going on, with a bunch of 80 year olds all wearing white. eerie (indiana!)! we then hung out at steve's. then we headed to the reception. after driving a mile or so past the hollywood/highland intersection - thinking the legion hall is on hollywood - we call steve and find out the legion hall is on highland. so we turn around and head toward the dreaded intersection. i hate tourists. so we get there and at the beginning, we could only wish that andrew w.k. was there! the whole reception, we were just waiting for duey to sing to his wife. he did! so anyway, we just danced around like fools and left. moral is, it was a pretty fun day! today was judgement day! what a great pay-per-view. not only was the wrestling great, but the refs got into it. bleeding refs, j.r. rolling jokes the whole night, flair approaching austin like frankenstein only to get stunned, booker t. hooking up with golddust, too much! refs climbing cages! anyway, taker is the new champ, and eddie guerrero was bomb! tonight is the last episode of the x-files! don't know how i feel about that! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 9:18 PM muh fayice! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 3:54 PM Friday, May 17, 2002 get you! there's always something going on here at work. once one problem's taken care of, something else drastic comes along. it's actually quite irritating, but at least i'm getting paid. not a lot, but it works, for now. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 3:01 PM Thursday, May 16, 2002 get you! it has finally got too out of control. i've seen a spider-man reebok billboard. too much i says! jeff, did you guys watch a midnight show? it's been quite ridiculous here at work. in the past hour i've been throwing out ridiculous rates non-customer service skills, as to avoid taking reservations, so i can leave early today - after a late night, last night. but every one of those calls booked the reservations, and they're round trip ones, so that means i have to do twice the work. but that's what i'm paid to do. last night was a blast. i got to stop inviting andrew wk along with us (rim shot!). we had duey's bachelor party last night. my bro folks dressed duey up in a jail outfit and handcuffed him to an inflatable doll and ball & chain. i kept calling duey the hamburglar all night. we managed, however, to rack up a $500 bill at the sushi bar. cheers! then we went to a club in hollywood. saddlepeak or something, it's the one that they went to in tough enough 2 with the mechanical bull. we saw manute bol there. i can't believe i didn't pass out by dinner time, it was ridiculous. we made andrew proud, though! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 2:19 PM Wednesday, May 15, 2002 get you! what you talkin' 'bout? Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 9:27 AM Tuesday, May 14, 2002 get you! bum deal if the break up is true. i've been here at work for over 2 hours, and have not had a chance to settle in, yet! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 2:33 PM Monday, May 13, 2002 get you! i can't say that i can disagree with the creed thing. a while back, my phone hinge broke, and i superglued it together. my brother's girlfriend, angela, gave me her old, exact same phone to me to switch over to, since mine was broken. i took it but never changed it, since the superglue was doing its job. anyway, yesterday, due to some drunken tomfoolery, i broke the hinge again. while still in the state of tomfoolereyness, i decided to fix it with the kahrayzee glue. that turned out to be a bad idea, because i superglued the whole ear piece down, as to make it completely useless, while at the same time, glueing my finger to the phone. the button also got superglued and is not completely useless. needless to seay, i switched the phone over to the other one today. lesson learned: "don't superglue stuff while in a state of drunkeness." for some reason, also, i decided to put the tube of superglue in my pants pocket and apparently it was leaking, or maybe i just sloppily put it together with superglue all dripping on the sides. well let's just say that my pocket has a hole in it. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 5:03 PM Saturday, May 11, 2002 get you! to top it all off, one or two of the fools in the band have a clothing company. i looked through some of their stuff and it's very unimpressive. it looks like all the other hot-topic/skate-hip hop wear out there. in other words, if this company didn't exist, the world would still turn, probably a lot smoother than before i heard of these guys. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 7:59 PM for some reason, i figured i'd spend some time going through the "good charlotte" page. i don't know, maybe i was secretly giving them a chance to justify their idiotness to me. if so, they failed... miserably! apparently their drummer left and their begging for their fans to "treat whoever the new drummer is with respect..." some crap like that. they must be cool, though, because there was a picture of one of the fools with a brand new, cut-sleeved, minor threat shirt. whew! i almost thought they weren't "punk." maybe the record company gave them that. so they say that what got them into wanting to be a band was seeing the beastie boys on their ill communication tour. wow! it's sad they had to wait their whole lives to be influenced by music, and at that age becoming a band (four years ago), a 'punk band.' they really don't have much roots in anything, except what the media has shoved down their throats as to what the corporate punk image is. which means they've got it all wrong! unless they took a crash course on punk rock before signing to the record label? maybe that cut-sleeved minor threat shirt came with the course? they also talked about how the band formed, and the two twins in the band were playing an acoustic set at the "local hangout," where future bassist saw them and thought, "these guys are good. all these songs could be radio songs." i think that's all i need to write about them to effectively label them as idiots. i do apologize to my brain for putting it through the torture of getting to know this band. up until two nights ago, i had no clue of this band, and i wish it were still that way. it's dragged the past couple of days on... i need to buy a new toothbrush. the old one is losing blue on the middle bristles, indicating its time is done!!! also, i need tomatoes. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 5:45 PM i watched spider-man last night, and the opinion of this hombre is bad-ass! kirsten dunst actually looked good (when she didn't have her hair up ), although she did a ton of tom cruise/ben affleck over-acting. tobey was totally on the spot for parker. it's not a flawless movie or anything like that; there are parts i didn't appreciate, but overall it was dice! it's much better at introducing the characters that other comic movies, and ther's just this satisfying presence of spidey and the goblin that was so natural! the way that some emotions were shown, and just emotional parts were a little ridiculous. some of the stuff he did reminded me of his stint on that show before sesame street. lol!! the movie's end was, at first, disappointing to me, but at the same time very dice!! but that's a total comic book ending, so it fits perfect. but i guess the only thing to say now is that mr. raimi has never let me down yet! good deal! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 12:42 PM Friday, May 10, 2002 get you! jeff's lucky. he gets to go on a road trip. alone, but nonetheless, driving is fun. i dare you to pick up a hitchhiker (eh, eh). what are you talking about, brett? Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 3:04 PM speaking of bizarre, it's mighty hot today! i should've rode the bike, with flat tires, to work. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 2:33 PM i'm pretty stoked! jericho faces triple h, at judgement day, in hell in the cell. i've not seen a hell in the cell match, on a live broadcast, at that. should be good! why is flair n.W.o.? Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 12:39 AM i've just had the unfortunate opportunity to see a video of a band called "good charlotte" who seem to be a thrown together, coporate idealistic (gulp!) punk band. they suck so much! besides throwing together lyrics from any pseudo-punk band out there, they have such a corporate punk image. let me give you some lyrics i unfortunately got stuck in my head: "i don't need your 9 to 5" and (sung exactly as in god save the queen "your future, no future." what the heck does this band expect to accomplish? you've got me! all i could do as my eyes were tortured to their sight, and my ears were so tortured to their sound, was cringe in discomfort that they don't see how stupid they are. i mean, their posing as a punk band, sounding exactly like any other band out there, playing in a stadium, no-less. that's enough, i'm off to have nightmares. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 12:24 AM Thursday, May 09, 2002 get you! lol! i just got a call which was a wrong number.she asked, "is this 721-5558?" so i said, "no, this is 821-5558!" it just reminded me of that simpsons episode where they called 911 and cheif wiggum said, "no you got the wrong number, this is 9-1...2!" Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 4:38 PM maybe it's the change in the weather, but i've been really hungry recently. like, i'll eat something that used to get me through for 6 hours or so, and now it lasts like an hour. hmmmm... Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 4:25 PM Wednesday, May 08, 2002 get you! i do think that that spider-man trailer was looking dangerously like a nokia commercial. was there any part of the movie that could've been in? because i know they had to change stuff after the september 11th and postpone the release, but that could've been just a trailer. anyway, if it was a scene and they took it out, that's stupid! muh fayice! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 9:11 PM Tuesday, May 07, 2002 get you! that is ridiculous. what's with all these companies auctioning off things like this? are they that hard up for cash? also, any idiot who buys them deserves a crack! unless it's the comic book guy. i wonder if michael jackson has dibs on the "left glove"? Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 12:50 PM a tuxedo shirt would do nice. also, if people didn't always call for me as soon as i get in, that would be nice. i'd like to at least sit down before dealing with a million things at once. jukebox: get-up kids - company dime just stopping by to say hi, be back in a bit. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 12:18 PM Monday, May 06, 2002 get you! hey brett, you should trade in that aloha shirt for one of those snazzy tux t-shirts. damon would be proud. hahaha. tell duey i said congrats. Anonymous partied hard at 2:39 PM those kiley folks are all about the tv teen scene. seth would've been funny to see. hey, jeff, if i were to tell you that i haven't seen evil dead ii yet, what you think? i'm going to have to ask you if i can download spidey face! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 11:49 AM Sunday, May 05, 2002 get you! welcome to brett's movie predictions? episode ii, strategically placed at the top o' the list. i still do not like the fact that george lucas would actually release toys before the movie is released. what's more is, why would people want to buy toys before seeing the movie? what if the coolest looking toy turns out to be jar jar binks, sort of? know what i mean? i tried as much as possible to avoid the media hoopla of episode ii, but thanks to the fact that i watch a lot of tv, i've seen the hoopla. ack!! well, it'll give me and mike something to do between duey's wedding and reception. at mann's chinese theatre no less. i just hope those fucking idiots who want to watch the movie so bad, that they think that camping there a month in advance is necessary. i mean, i do want to watch episode ii, but fuck, it's not as if they just show it for that weekend, and if you miss you chance, you never get to see it again. it's stupid. what's more is that the idiots that did that for episode i, got money for that. just goes to show america's stupidity for idiots and make celebrities of them. i still say that mann's should hold a secret internet presale, so those fucking assheads don't get to see it on opening day. i made a pact that i wouldn't watch episode ii until, at least a week after opening day, but since duey's wedding is on the 18th of may, and there's hours between his ceremony and reception - which, by the way, at his wedding, i'm an usher wearing an aloha shirt -, and we will be in the hollywood area, we may watch it. i hope my sister, crystal, will cruise with us. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 12:45 AM you know what i could use? a good digital camera. i don't like this camera i have on my comp. it's such bad quality. mada-fyackas! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 12:10 AM Saturday, May 04, 2002 get you! 5:00 = not a good hour at work. why the heck do the stupid calls have to be the ones that stay on forever? first this kid calls about an e-mail we responded to sounding exactly like butt-head. he stayed on for about ten minutes getting nowhere except me telling him that he gave us the wrong month for the service he was asking about. then this old man called, and you no how those go. and now the printer is being a real bitch!! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 6:03 PM today is the state of california's garage sale day. at least it seems that way. right outside my window, again, is a garage sale. going just two blocks up, is a garage sale. driving up the street more, two more signs of garage sales. approaching work, a garage sale. it sucks, too, because i never take advantage of these sales, and i need to buy more ramen. what? Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 12:39 PM also, the word "sell-out" is never used as it means. i was once told that if you can't spell a word, or define it, then you can't use it. everyone can spell sell-out, but no one can define it. i mean, all it means is ditching you beliefs for money. it's funny how anyone associated with (gulp!) punk, has to worry about "not being punk!" that's so lame. wasn't so called (punk) being individualistic? how did being individualistic ever involve worrying about what peoeple, your peers no less, thought of you? Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 12:52 AM one of the most influencial performance of my life was either guns n' roses at wembly stadium (yeah, that performance), or green day at woodstock. it's funny to hear all these people talk about punk, because punk is no longer in existence. it died in the the 70's. all everyone's done since then is imitate a dead scene and think they've made progress. people need to stop looking towards the past to live, but rather be themselves and start their own thing. the so-called punk scene is probably the least individualistic scene out there, and it's the most isolated scene ever. it's much harder to fit into that scene than to another one, and isn't that what (gulp) punk is all about? Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 12:46 AM Friday, May 03, 2002 get you! what's with the weather? i mean, it may be that where ever i go, i'm in the shade, but i've been chilled. when i stay in the sun, it's aights, though. i don't get it. Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 4:50 PM Thursday, May 02, 2002 get you! dwarf invasion! what the heck? Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 3:36 PM Wednesday, May 01, 2002 get you! prosthetic arm! Mr. Breakfast partied hard at 8:34 PM |
