yo yo...so i had a real bad day today. my mom keeps talking about putting the house up for sale, not necesarily moving now put putting it up. now, for those that don't know me, the idea of moving is probably one of the worst things i could experience, for several. first there's the whole process of moving, which is so draining, even to just think about, especailly since i have so much crap, my garage alone would take a day to move. the more important reason is im a VERY nostalgic person, every little piece of garbage has meaning to me. especially the house i grew up in. espeically since there's so many little unique things about the house that have tons of stories from my youth. the slide, the clubhouse, the shed, etc. i could think of 1000 things i'd rather have happen to me than move. now, i'm not that naive. i know i wont get to show my grandkids the house i lived in one day with their grandparents still living there. and i know i probably won't be rich enough to be able to buy my childhood home back when i'm an adult (RIP OC). i know people, jenny for example, who have moved from place to place their whole life and are fine with it. i wish i could be like that, but im not, just thinking about it hurts me so much. but i just wanted my mom to at least wait till i was done with school and maybe at least have a job. so today i woke up with a realtor sign on the front lawn/rocks and i flipped out, and tore the sign out of the ground and tossed it into the backyard. so my mom called the realtor (and who is a friend of hers kinda and lives around the corner) and he said he'd tell the company vandals moved it, and asked if i could promise him i wouldn't move it again, and of course i said no. and then he back handidly threatened me, saying something like "your mom tells me you want a government job, getting arrested wouldn't be good for that" which just made me want to burn down his house. so if my mom decided not to grant me the one wish i asked of at least waiting, and the company sends someone else to put it back in (i hope im there if they do) i might need someone to bail me out of jail

yo yo...jofi brought to my attention this morning a song by The Format (give it up) whose lyrics have to do with 3 guys, Joe, Mark and Adam. weird.(sorry vincent)

yo yo...i want to discuss briefly gun control. of course after the VT tragedies discussion about gun control has come up. i think its bogus. if one is hell bent on destruction, making guns illegal is not going to stop him. if guns were illegal does anyone honestly think he'll say "oh well, i'll punch my pillow instead" NO! if guns were illegal for sale here they would be smuggled in various ways, and the bad guys will get them. drugs are illegal, yet you can still get them. guns are just a tool, the person is the weapon. if a gun is not available in any way at all, he could drive a car and run over people, he could construct a bomb, he could poison people, he could start a fire, then we would have to ban cars, fertilizer, cleaning agents and oxygen.

yo yo...one of my favorite reality show, actually 2nd favorite(1st being hogan knows best) is "King of Cars" on A and E....its about the largest car dealership in las vegas....its a pretty cool show...watch

yo yo....enclosed are two thoughts on 2 different people in the entertainment industry with different opinions of each

Larry King-you can easily make the argument that he is the most successful "interviewer" in the industry, granted i didnt watch him when he first started and i only do if he has an interesting guess, but i don't find him to be a great interviewer. the only thing that makes him good is he's larry king, so he gets good guests at good times....as singers on american idol get criticized for not feeling the words of a song and just singing it i feel thats how he could be criticized as an interviewer
Robert Rodriguez- i dont know much about him personally, but he was on leno last nite(well the 2nd episode) and i found him to be really interesting and funny...he talked about how his son was in grindhouse and he killed him in the movie, but his son doesnt know he died. all of his sons have silly names that start with R. Rocket, Racer, i forget the others. he said "once you name your son Rocket you can't really name the next "marty"

yo yo....so i just got off the phone with HESC because my name was spelled wrong in the system so that wasnt allowing me access to it...after arguing with the lady about doing it over the phone and not having to mail in my drivers license i asked for her manager and she talked to her and came back and told me she could do it, i totally pwned her but i was modest
after that she told me its wrong on fafsa too so i should fix that. i call them and i had to do it with my pin number or some shit cuz "they dont have access to my name" only address and such....however, at school the only problem was the tap, not the federal aid, i got that. i asked how did someone who doesnt exist get financial aid, apparently its cuz on the site it only asks for first 2 letters of last name(which is correct, the misspelling was YUOMAN) so i asked the guy if theoretically i can spell my name however i want after "yu" and everything will work and he said there isnt a problem as far as he can see. things seem to be ok for now, but i can forsee something bad happening at one point

yo yo....nothing makes me more enraged than people who don't signal. Today i was behind someone who had on their left signal for several miles...and they continued to make right turns! i wish there was a way i could have expressed my anger, but specifically about the signal. If i just honked or yelled or fingered, he probably wouldnt have realized. oh well, i'll take out the anger on something else. last nite i ate my last meal of the nite in bed, it was fun

yo yo...i wanna be on the real world, or road rules...i think i might make a video...discuss

also, i was thinking about how i like/need to sleep about 10-11 hours a night and how this only leaves about 13 or so awake hours....i couldn't understand how a life could work like this and then i realized a solution....make my own week...instead of dividing the week into 7 days i can divide it into 6! so when everyone has 24 hours a day, i will have 28...i really cant see any fault in this plan...however, unless i become a rich heiress work might one day get in the way
