Hey, wassup? I've decided what I'm going back to school for...either journalism or creative writing. I was that kid in high school that loved english class and loved to read and write. But my first love was meteorology, and after going in the air force, getting my associates in atmospheric sciences, and actually forecasting and observing weather, I decided it wasn't for me. So now I'm going to try my hand at journalism. I love to write and it is something I've always been decent at(don't judge me
from this blog!). In the past I've actually written poems, short stories, and even scripts for this tv show (ha!) I came up with. I think it could be the start of a new chapter (no pun intended) of my life. Wish me luck...

there's a new cologne out called "Be Delicious" by DKNY. And yeah it
is for guys. It smells good and I'm going to buy it.

I'm in love with my Ipods. I have a 4g 20gig, and a 512 shuffle, and wherever I go, I take 3 things: my cigarettes, my cellphone, and an ipod. It's the best mp3 player you could buy in my opinion, and with itunes in the mix...it's obvious what the best choice is. I'm not saying its what you should do, it just works for me...

I'm still trying to plan a vacation...I just don't know where to go. I could always go back to Tucson or Biloxi to visit friends, but I want to go somewhere I've never been before. Hmmm, something to think about - and on that note I'm out. Holla!

P.S. - oh yeah did you hear that someone found Paris Hiltons phonebook? Here's the link to it, she's got eminem, vin diesel, anna kournikova, Lindsay Lohan and a whole bunch of other people in there! http://www.parishilton.be/book.php" title="http://www.parishilton.be/book.php" target="_blank"http://www.parishilton.be/boo...

A good ending to a bad week...my neck is starting to feel better, but I still feel like I'm 60 in the mornings. I didn't go out for one of my friends birthday but for some reason I don't feel guilty. She's a good person, but sometimes I think she's a little...I don't know. Now I do feel bad.

Lets journey into TV land really quick. Akil got voted off of Road to Stardom...wtf? He was probably the most talented person on the show. I'm upset. Is it just me or is Lost getting boring? Enough damn questions, how about some answers? Would any of you ever go on The Real World? I don't think I could, I would hurt someone. Or either instigate something to keep from getting bored with the same damn people in one house.

I brought circus tickets. I know I'll be 22 next month, but I love the circus...

There's some drama brewing at work. And for once I don't have any place in it. I'm just on the sidelines, being entertained. I'm not even sure exactly whats going on. I just have a feeling that something bad is about to happen.

There's just chick that I work with that's pregnant by her ex. She's 19, lives with her boyfriend of 2 weeks, has no money, and smokes cigarettes and weed. I don't know what her problem is but I feel sad for the baby. I want to tell her to get her act together and stop being so selfish, but I'm not sure of how to do that without sounding preachy or self-righteous. Hopefully she'll get right before the baby comes. Pray for her...

I'm out....Jonesy

Music to listen to : Long Ways by Urban Mystic. This IS real R&B. I found out about this guy from some independent music site and threw this song on my ipod. While in shuffle mode this song came up and I feel in love. Feeling like something older than it is, the lyrics, music, and slow pace come together to form my new favorite song. Give it a listen...http://phobos.apple.com/WebOb...;selectedItemId=36510836

Hey, I know it's been a little while but I've been a little under the weather.

So something is wrong with my neck. Seriously it's like the worse pain I've ever felt. When I wake up in the morning, I can barely move it. I'm scared to go the doctor because I have Scoliosis and I'm afraid I'll hear something I don't really want to. Hopefully it will go away and I'll be alright.

Didn't do too much so far this week...Valentines Day (even though I'm totally against it) was cool. I got 2 boxes of chocolates and a rose. I didn't know guys got flowers too but I was happy anyways.

I was reading my friends blog and got an idea: random stories. So here goes...

1. On this one trip to Mexico, a group of about 6 of us went to this strip club to sober up before we crossed back over the border. While there my friend Randy paid $8 to get a hand job from this fat mexican stripper. Wow...


2. The most scared I've ever been is when I was in basic training for September 11th. Imagine being straight out of high school, away from home for the first time, in the military for less than a week, and your TI tells you that America is under attack and you'll all be given guns and shipped to the desert to fight. The worst part was not knowing who or what had been attacked and if your family was alright.


3. I was at this dorm party back in Tucson one night, and everyone was drunk. This girl I couldn't stand kept trying to tell me what kind of person I was and why she didn't like me. Now I'm not really a violent guy, but this girl pissed me off. So much so that I threw a beer bottle at the back of her head, but thankfully missed. Oops...


4. One more...I experienced my first case of racism in the weirdest place possible - a gay bar. We were in Biloxi, Mississippi and my girlfriend at the time (who is white), her bestfriend (who is also white) and her boyfriend (puerto rican) decided to go to this bar Joey's. None of us had ever been to a gay bar and just wanted to see what it was like. So we go in and head to the bar. My girlfriend and I were holding hands and the barkeeper says "Get the hell out of here, I don't serve mixers." Wtf?!! I was like, okay, we're in a gay bar and you won't let me in because I'm black and my girlfriend is white? That this goes to show you that discrimination can come from anyone at anytime.

aight...I'm off to 7-11. I swear they have the best brownies in the world! Give 'em a try sometime...I'm out, Jonesy

So yeah, it's been a while. That's basically because I thought I could simply install a new video card in my computer and call it a day. Not the case. After 3 failed cards, 3 days of frustrations, and 3 days of working in safe mode, I gave up. So yeah, I'm back...

I think I'm afraid of commitment. Those that know me the best know what I'm talking about. For those of you that don't, well let's just say I'm involved with someone on again/off again. Right now we're on. And I'm scared because I've caught feelings. I'm not afraid of this fact alone, It's because it's feelings with this person. I mean, is this the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, have kids with, buy a house and a dog with? If not then I feel like I'm wasting my time. Sure the sex is good, no great, but what about everything else? The concept of dating is simple to me : If you and I are not going to be together for the rest of our lives, get out of my way. Quote me on that. I don't know how to handle this...

I'm thinking about moving back to Arizona. I miss it. When I was living there, I missed Virginia. hmmmm....

I got my new Janet Jackson DVD the other day. It has all the videos from janet - Damita Jo, but unfortunately Doesn't Really Matter isn't up there. It's still hot though.

My uncle died yesterday morning. It was one of those unexpected deaths don't you just don't ever imagining happen. It's hard because we were really close and he did so much for me and my brother. When my mom left my son-of-a bitch dad, he stepped right in helping raise us. Damn, it sucks and that's all I'm going to say...

I'm out...Jonesy

Music to listen to : Take Your Mama Out - The Scissor Sisters. Very good song by a very weird band who quickly became my favorite. The song goes "We're gonna take your mama out all night, yeah we'll show her what it's all about. We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne, we'll let the good times all roll out. And if the music ain't good, well that's just too bad. We're gonna sing along no matter what. Cause the dancers don't mind at The New Orleans, if you tip 'em and they make a cut." Classic lyrics. 10 extra cool points if anyone can figure out the theme of the song...http://phobos.apple.com/WebOb...;selectedItemId=11566344

So the weekend officially started at work friday when this customer asked me who I wanted to win the super bowl and I replied "I don't even know who's going." So I had to spend the next 5 minutes explaining to him why I don't like football, and why I don't have a favorite team. I was pissed. I don't like football, leave me alone.

Last night I went to Friday's again...it was cool at first but then another friend showed up with her...let's say boyfriend. Well he brought his fat bastard friend, this asshole guy that talked way too much. Like, "Look how much I can drink," and "Look how many friends I can call." Bastard, thanks for ruining my night.

That story brings me to another question. If you had two friends that were in a relationship and one of those friends started messing around with someone else, would you say something to either? I ask because a little while back this chick I was friends with started messing with her boyfriends(who I am also cool with) friend. I knew from the get-go, but I didn't tell him. I couldn't. She would wait for him to go to work and then invite the guy over for whatever. And then she would tell me she did it and start crying. I wanted to tell him so bad, but I couldn't. And then to top it off, she would use my name when he would get suspicious and ask questions, so he started accusing me of liking his girl. I knew I should have said something, but still I held back. He eventually found out three months after she broke up with him and moved away, and he still doesn't know that I knew the whole time. What would you have done? Was I wrong?

Doesn't it suck to find out someone makes more money than you do, when you do more work? anyways, that's all for today, I'm out...Jonesy

Music to listen to: Zombie by The Cranberries. We all have those songs where you can remember exactly what you were doing the first time you heard it. This one I heard on my first camping trip in the middle of a lake in a canoe. It was playing on my friends radio and I remember it because he kept rocking the boat. Which isn't that bad except I can't swim. I was terrified and this song fit perfectly. Very good song...http://phobos.apple.com/WebOb...;selectedItemId=2285495

Real short and to the point today, because I'm drunk, I'm not at home and I can't type right.

I went to T.G.I.Fridays after work today with a couple of people. It was cool. I drank too much.

I heard the funniest thing on tv..."If you were a homeware store, you'd be Bitch, Bath and Beyond, Bitch."  Hilarious...

that's it, holla back...Jonesy

So I got my first computer virus today. Somehow, my little brother got it downloading something from a videogame site. Luckily, my vast knowledge of computers (yeah, right!) helped me get rid of it. If anything this taught me a valuable lesson: If I would just buy my apple, I wouldn't have this problem.

One of my "friends" uses cocaine. WTF? They called me yesterday and asked if I knew where they could get some snow. Being my smart ass self, I said go outside. They then said "no S-N-O-W." "What the hell is that?" I asked. It's motherfucking crack! Who does that anymore? Weed, sure. X, maybe. But crack? I was shocked, I couldn't say anything. This person doesn't exactly have a perfect life, but why do something like that? I don't understand at all and that kind of scares me, not knowing something like that about one of my "friends." Do I say anything, do anything? And you know what else scares me? I mentioned it to someone else and they told me three different people I could get it from. What the hell?

I think I'm going to get some this weekend, but I won't jinx it so that's all I'll say right now.

That's it for now, It's almost 2am and I'm going to watch Johnny Zero...another "problem" caused by Tivo, lol...Jonesy

Music to listen to: Trying to Find a Balance - Atmosphere...so we finally got to underground rap. I got turned on to this a couple of years ago by my best friend Scott, and ever since then I've been hooked. Atmosphere is probably my favorite rap music and this is one of their best songs. http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlist Id=2556560&" title="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlist Id=2556560&" target="_blank"http://phobos.apple.com/WebOb...;selectedItemId=2556493

Ha, today was a good day. It snowed here in VA again, which is wierd for this area. We hardly ever get this much snow in one winter. Personally, Winter is not my favorite season; I'm still waiting for Spring/Summer but I had to admit it was nice to have a little reminder that it is February.

Work was good today...I swear there are some crazy people in this world though. Why do people think that they can buy something in April and come back and return it almost a year later!? Sounds weird but the highlight of my day was getting cursed out by this guy trying to return a playstation he brought for his son christmas of '03 because his son was getting bad grades. Hilarious...

I'm watching too much tv and tivo is to blame. Ever since I got it back in November, I started watching shows I never would have before. Just because I can. Seriously though, Tivo has me hooked on Degrassi, a freaking teen show. And Point Pleasant. And The Ashlee Simpson Show etc...

Tax returns are good. I've decided to save more money this year, which is weird for me. "You can't take it with you when you die" was always my saying, but you also can't live paycheck to paycheck in the world today. One bill turns into five and before you know it, you're in debt. Hahaha, I'm growing up...

In Other News...that crush I was talking about earlier has gotten worst. I'm spending more and more time with my work crush which would be cool...if I didn't act like a giddy school girl whenever they came around. In the words of my favorite lady - "That's the Way Love Goes."

Music to listen to: 2 for 1 Thursday - These two are sisters from Australia...not so famous in the states. Awesome Dance/Pop music though. Think of it like this Kylie = Janet Jackson, Dannii = Madonna. At least in the UK and Australia. Oh, and I know you remeber Kylie from The Loco-motion in the 80's. Can't go wrong.

You Won't Forget About Me - Dannii Minogue

Butterfly - Kylie Minogue

Jonesy

so it's hump day...I didn't do a damn thing today, except watch The Grudge. What a horrible, awful movie! What the hell?! Everyone said it was good, so I brought it. Probably the worse movie I've seen in a while...

I got a call from a friend I hadn't talked to in a while today, and the basis was so fake. I mean if you haven't talked to someone for a while you would think that you would ask how they were doing or whats going on in there life...not some impersonal question that is just out of place. That's friends though.

I really like On the Road to Stardom...With Missy Elliott. Missy is funny as hell, and she's blunt and to the point. Gotta say my favorites right now are Akil, Eddie, and Matthew. Akil - self-explanatory, the man can do it all. Eddie - seems like a real cool and down to earth person, and a good mc. Matt - cool guy, good voice. I don't know though, seems like something is missing.

In other news...So I think I was incorrectly "outed" at work. I mean it doesn't bother me at all, I could care less but it's funny. Rumors are funny. I think I'll play along for awhile, for the hell of it.

I'm off to bed now gotta get used to the early shift again...peace, and take care.    Jonesy

music to listen to : You So Fly - by Akil Dasan...awesome musician. All I can say is he's like a male version of Jill Scott. Check it out. http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlist Id=6609879&" title="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlist Id=6609879&" target="_blank"http://phobos.apple.com/WebOb...;selectedItemId=6609851

Ah so nothing new today...went to work, came home. Exciting huh?

I finally got my W-2, so hopefully I'll go get my taxes done tomorrow.

In other news...Have you ever noticed that there are some people you who you instantly like and want to be friends with, and some you just don't like for whatever reason? Today I told someone that another person just didn't matter to me and they instantly made me feel really bad about it. I mean, it's not like I don't like this person or I do like them...I just feel neutral about them. "Like I don't wish you any misfortune or anything, but why should I even bother with you?" And it's feelings like these that make me feel like an asshole. A lot of times I'll think something or say something that makes me think I'm the anti-christ. I have a temper. Not one of those "I'll snap your neck" type of things, but more like an internal rage...and then I lash out at whoever pisses me off. I think I need to work on that.

Music to listen to : God is a DJ by Pink - it's about the lyrics to me..."If God is a DJ, Life is a dancefloor, Love is a rhythm, You are the Music" http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlist Id=3425280&" title="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlist Id=3425280&" target="_blank"http://phobos.apple.com/WebOb...;selectedItemId=3425182
