Ask Madden

yo yo....i got excited today when i was looking at Jonathan Larson's trivia info on IMDB.com and The Police was one of his musical influences

yo yo....im not gonna talk about thanksgivng except that when my mom drives it baffles me how she doesnt go to jail....i alwys think about how there is a prolly a government agent who has been assigned to track her and in 10 yrs he is gonna pull her over and give her 30 yrs worth of tickets

yo yo....ok, this summer i want to take a day trip and find an amish town. like a real hardcore horse and buggy butter churning town...and get otu and walk aroudn and pretend to fit in

yo yo....these are my comments/feelings about the harry potter movie from a non harry potter fan...

1. this movie seemed to be sexual, witha lot of pretty girls
2. the part when hermione(who got very pretty) hugged harry was very touching
3. it seems that harry is always succeeding in things because of other people giving him advice...not just in this movie too....i think his peowerfulness is severly overrated...poor role model for children
4. ron is the most annoying character ever...all he does is whine and make wrenching faces allll the time
5. i'd like to see a collaboration...wizards vs jedi's...although it wouldnt be much of a match

yo yo....i love mrs palmero. she called me tonite to tell me about the forensics competition and thank me and all that, it was funny hearing her describe a kid from another school as an ugly fat kid. I wish i had her as a teacher, then i would prolly be more into reading. cuz she is like coach dwyer in the sense that they inspire people.

yo yo....there has been talk lately about SNL being crappy....although it is not in its strongest, i do believe there are several things going well for it...i think the women now on SNL are jsut as powerful as ever, rachel dratch, amy poehler and maya rudolph(im not including tina fey cuz she does weekend update and writes) are all absolutely terrific. Darrel Hammond is as great as ever, chris parnell and seth myers are great, horatio sanz is solidy funny as also and Kenan fits in well....its these new stupids they hired...they're stupid....its not a sports team, jsut cuz u hire someone new doesnt mean they hafta be right outta college.

What up. I'd figured this would be the easiest way to let everyone know who was aware of the weekend drama... Ali is back at home and safe. No one knows what happened but the important thing is that they found her. Thanks for everyone who talked to me these past two days with concern, I really appreciated the support. Hopefully shes gonna be ok.

yo yo...i'm watching this women comedian whose name i forget but i adore...and it got me thinking...if you had a crush on a comedian, like in real life, how could you approach her? how can you expect to impress her? she's obvisouly gonna be funnier than u so what the hell would you do?

yo yo....this is what michael frauenhofer was telling me today....

mike- "my uncle mike makes me gamble for my christmas present. he gives me 5 dollars and i have to play poker."

me- "so you can win more?"

mike -"yea. i won 10 dollars one year. he was mad. one year i owed him a dollar for christmas"

and this is what mrs palmero said after saying she would kill someone who killed kids and made a mean face

"i could go to prison. c'mon, what are tehy going to do to ME in prison? its not like im gonna be someones 'honey' or something."

yo yo.....well a lonely saturday nite doesn't have to be THAT uneventful....so i'm watching basketball and my doorbell rings and there is a pounding at it...a little freaked me and simba slowly approach the door....i open it slowly and no one is there...and i see my railing shaking so i knew i was just ding dong ditched....so i ran to the deck room, laced up my running shoes and ran outside....i slowly jogged down the street and saw a pack of 4 kids looking about late middle school early high school...when i was about 50 ft away i yelled "which one of you rang my doorbell"...they fled...so i chased and i could think while chasing was how cool this was....i was gaining on them fast and i yelled "you cant outrun me u bitches" and i grabbed one and he fell on the lawn....i told him to relax and i wasnt going to hurt them...his friend that was right there stopped and i walked with them and asked them their names, ages, where they went to school, who their teachers were, then asked if they knew me or if it was random...they said random...i asked who their friends were and the one i knocked down said he didnt wanna be a dick and rat them out...i said i respected that and let them go and they said thank you....i was so pumped up....i really wish they would've all tried to fight me at the same time cuz i was jsut watching ultimate fighter so they would have stood no chance! now what i dont get about kids is why would you "ding dong ditch" a house you dont know? cuz you never knoew what kind of people are inside? what if i wasnt nice and i beat them up or something? what if i was crazy and after i caught them chained them up inside and ate them alive? kids need role models

yo yo....im going to whine some more....i am really upset about losing my wallet, prolyl more than i should cuz i am very nostalgic....it bothers me that someone is sitting there with MY wallet....i had a lot of very improtant things, like a large collection of ticket stubs, each with a story behind it....and a large collection of business cards and other things the same size....i wish there was something i could do...like its a terrible feeling where no matter how hard you try you can't ever find it...like i wish it was somethign phsycial, where i can try harder and push myself harder and eventually i would find it....i really wish there was a law and order episode about my lost wallet....then in the court room i would shoot whoever took it....cuz that's how the best episodes end....like tonites episode if anyone saw it im me and we'll chat....and i swear if one person says "hey, it can be worse" i will tell you to shut up because it can be better too

What up. Its not unusual to be loved by anyone. Its not unusual to have fun with anyone. You know what I mean.

Just made my schedule for next semester.... Its looking pretty rough for the Monday Wednesday thing. Four classes in a row. Ouch. But hey, only one on Tuesday. And no honors seminar. And Theory II!!! I love music theory. Friday night I do my Dave impression again at the Hayden talent show with my friend Greg as we do our rendition of Grey Street. Check it out if you're in the neighborhood.

P.S. Good luck to Mr. Yudman in finding his wallet.
