ok. I am poor. can't afford premium. You saw what the message used to be:

You've just been given a FREE trial of Xanga Premium .

There are 1 days left in your FREE trial. Don't worry - you won't be charged anything to use it, and at the end of the free trial your xanga site will *automatically* revert back to the free xanga classic settings. But if you like premium and decide you want to keep it, just click here anytime to upgrade!

Today it simply said:

Thanks!

this made me feel kinda guilty. It is kinda like those public tv people who say:

"people who watch public tv without pledging money are theives and liars." "if you are watching this without pledging any money, you are a theif" "pledge now get a free tote bag!" "pledge now at the $100 level and get an umbrella featuring a picture of the free tote bag"

O well. xanga peeps still aren't getting my money. (I love how they are trying to trick you into making me get premium. Look at the top of your page. Look at the title:

hockeyinjury5 - Xanga Premium! - Microsoft Internet Explorer (or netscape or mozilla or whatever you people use now a days.)

ok today we were going to do this fundrasier for my mission trip to Belize over the summer. We were going to go distrubute phone books to peeps houses. I woke up early because mike was going to pick me up. I went downstairs. found chocolate on counter. looked good. took piece. ate it. tasted gross. swallowed anyway. watched arthur while reading the chocolate box. realized that the box said "Illegal to sell to minors under the age of 21." realized that the chocolates were filled with tequila. Mike came. I got in his truck. I said "Mike, watch out, I may be intoxicated." Then I made some joke about how I might be an alcoholic considering it was only 8:15 in the morning. we went to the church. then went to the phone book place. nobody there. decided to go to my house and have eggs. went to albertsons. bought eggs and junk. went to mi casa. made eggs. they were good. Jono yelled at me over the phone when I told him the eggs were good. (apparently he doesn't like his school's food) we decided we should go to a movie. we drove to the church. we drove to elvis cinemas. we drove to bowles crossing. we drove and drove and drove. we sat in the bowles crossing parking lot for 15 min listening to dashboard confessional. we drove some more. we went to nathans. we went to mindy's apartment. while there, we watched the lizzie maguire movie. then went to chipoltle. while there, we debated on whether or not certain customers were gay. we left. we honked at random people and waved. nathan showed some excellent road rage, (especially considering he wasn't driving.) we then drove up next to these two guys.

Hannah said, "I think those guys might be gay"

Chelsea replies " really? cuz I was just considering spending the rest of my life with one of them."

we then proceeded to follow the "gay" car into a neighborhood, all the way to the driveway of their house. (hannah was driving, none of this was my fault)

Hannah: I'm so embarrassed (then she honked the horn at them)

we then went back to my house. they dropped me off. Nathan wore a blue jumpsuit. We made fun of him all day.

I got home.

sat here.

ate dinner.

sat here.

wrote this.

(considering this is after I wrote this I really don't know, but I would assume next is: sat here)

did science (maybe)

went to bed (maybe)

Quote of the day: "I think those guys are gay" "really? cuz I was just considering spending the rest of my life with one of them." or " Gordo, god among men." or "so, wanna teach me to make out? " (long story) or "she totally freak out"

Spanish word of the day: Just for you..... since this is my first day without premium and it has to be good. Here is the entire post in spanish. Thanks to http://www.freetranslation.com/ (god among websites)

- Perfect (wow this is depressing) - -

hi, I am getting really bad at this whole "don't forget to write for 6 days" thing. I would try to remember what I did the past couple of days, but that would hurt my brain, so I am not even going to attempt it. So, these are the major occurances that took place on those days that I have missed. In no particular order, just as I think of them. I can remember the quote of the day for at least two of the days because I actually wrote it down. So I think it was wednesday was: "Boy, that is a floppy dollar if I have ever seen one" or "GEORGE FORMAN, GEORGE FORMAN!" and thursday was "lindsay can't get me a fork, she has a crush on me."

Now I know you are all going to have questions on what those quotes mean. So here we go.

Story 1: Boy that is a floppy dollar if I have ever seen one.

Once upon a time, jimbo baggins was sitting at lunch. The kind next to him took a dollar out of his wallet. He then realized that it was very floppy. "Boy that is a floppy dollar if I have ever seen one," he said. "I concur." said jimbo. and they lived happily ever after.

Story 2: GEORGE FORMAN, GEORGE FORMAN!

One day, while sitting at lunch jimbo baggins and his friends were doing their homework. Ben had to list things that people have in their homes, and where they are made. We were all suggesting things that we had in our homes. I think grant wanted him to put down "george forman grill," but only got out "GEORGE FORMAN, GEORGE FORMAN!" while pointing rediculously.

Story 3: Lindsay can't get me a fork, she has a crush on me!

ok, this one actually has a story behind it. thursday was the last day of school before valentines day. The school senate was doing these orange crush thingies. Basically you pay 50 cents, and the senate will take some sort of super awesome lovey dovey sort of thing to your crush while they are in class. I wasn't really expecting one. and didn't get one. but during 2nd period, sam and I both found a can of sunkist on our desk. The sunkist had been written on with sharpie so it now said, sunkiss. came with a note that said:

Jim~

Hey! What's up? Now, I know this isn't an orange crush. Don't be dissapointed because this is even better! It's a sun kiss!! Anyway we (yes there is more than one of us) just wanted to let you know that you are a totally cute, cool, amazing kid that's so much fun to hang out with. Well now that you know that be sure to ENJOY your sunkiss!

I thought that was pretty cool. Anyway, like I said, sam got one too. same handwriting on the note and everything. So, they were obviously from the same person/people. Anyway, I basically already knew who it was. But sam decided he was going to do some hardcore snooping. At lunch time his principal suspect was eva. then it switched to lindsay (lindsey?) She told him that it wasn't her. And then said what can I do to prove it to you? He said get me a fork. So all three girls at the table left to get forks. eva came back holding forks for all three of them. She put them on the table. "this one is for me, this one is for erin, and this one is for lindsay." Sam then exclaimed "No, Lindsay can't get me a fork cuz she has a crush on me!" So, that is the story behind that. I eventually did find out who sent the note, but I am not going to post it, cuz I am not sure if that would be embarrassing or not.

Anyway, Thursday I had a sore throat, but the sunkist helped. I had forgotten how good orange soda was. I also got some fun dip. and a valentine from schwartz. (for those of you who don't know, schwartz is my drama teacher.) I thought it was cool that she actually made valentines for all her students. That is alot of vtines. cuz she teaches english too! Went to sam's at about 9ish, and played medal of honor with sam, tyler, and davy until about 11ish. Then I went home and slept. and God saw that this was good, and there was morning and there was evening, the 4th day.

ok Friday.

No school today. President's day weekend. good old presidents. Don't ever say that they didn't do nothing for the peoples. So today, I was planning to go to a movie with clairissa. I was also planning to go to a play with the parentals, and band practice with ryan and tom.

Hey! guess what! Ever since I was little, I wanted to be in a band. Actually I didn't want to be in a band until like a year or two ago. but anywho. ryan and tom and I have formed a band. We are auditioning for the talent show on march 4th or 5th. I play bass guitar. This is quite funny considering I have never played bass guitar in my entire life. Maybe we will get a song with keyboard in there somewhere too. Then I could show my real expertise. But tom has taught me three bass guitar chords (that's more than many rockstars know) and now we have one whole song for memory. It is called "TheWayImightDo" by Tom. It is actually pretty good. Tom impressed me. so, if we make it into the talent show, you all have to come see us. Our band is named Sunday Morning Bru. I think we are going to be pretty good. We need to find a song with keyboard though, cuz that would be awesome. Cuz I feel like kind of a loser when I just strum on every fourth beat. Who can't do that? but it is still cool to be able to say "I'm with the band"

so, I called clairissa in the morning, and we realized that it was going to be extrememly hard to find a good time to go to the movie. She had to watch her little brother and sister until three and I had to go reherse with tom and ryan sometime. My mom was gone somewhere, so I had to keep talking to clairissa and then calling mom to confirm, and then calling clairissa to tell that mom disapproved, and then calling mom back with new plan, and then calling clairissa to tell her that that plan was shot down too. Eventually we decided that a movie wasn't going to workout. So, I invited her to come with the parentals and me to the play. "How to succeed in Business Without Really Trying" I had to call the ticket people like a bagillion times, but eventually got another ticket that was next to our season tickets. Thanks ticket people! The play was really good, and it was fun hanging out with clairissa. Mom warned me about how dating was bad for me, and I rememinded her that clairissa and I were just friends and she should really not freak out so much.

My mom told me that I should go to old ivy university. Actually her exact words were, "You would make a good groundhog." What in the heck does that mean? is it a compliment? I dunno. Very confused. I got girl scout cookies from Clairissa, yum.

So, while rehersing with tom and ryan, I fricken rocked. They both thought it was cool that I picked it up so fast, but I guess I am just brilliant. So we now have our first song memorized. We recorded it on tom's computer. Ryan took a seat off of a bicycle and put it on his drum chair. then put the drum chair top on tom's workout bike. Then it got stuck. We finally got it off. It was funny. We had pizza. quite good. Decided that maybe we should try and find another song to play at talent show. But it is hard to find stuff that you can play with only three people. (especially when the bass only has 5 hours of experience)

That was basically friday.

Quote for friday was "rip! rip! rip, those chipmunks off the field!" or "Jim would make a good ground hog." or "with kazzaa on, the recording sounds like crap. Excellent"

Saturday. Valentine's day. Bleech! I can't say that I felt lonley today, because I really don't want (or need) a girlfriend, so there is really no reason to feel bad. But the thought of everybody else out doing lovey dovey stuff while I was shoveling the patio/ sweeping the garage/ cleaning my room/ taking out the trash, was kinda annoying. But I'll get over it. Went to a movie with Sharon and Steve today. Miracle. It was good. Finally they have made a hockey movie that isn't a major disgrace. I am not saying I didn't enjoy the Mighty Ducks I, II, and III, but they were a little unbelievable. It was a good movie. I came home. Had dinner. dipped my steak in ranch dressing. Parents thought I was weird. Had never tried it. Looked good. Is good. plan on doing it again. dad told me how he used to put maple syrup on bacon. Have to try that sometime. Now my parents are watching some movie that they watched when they were first newlyweds or something. Bleech! Anyway, that was my vtines day. Sorry not more interesting.

Current Mood: confused (what is with all this valentine's day stuff?)

Current Mood of the rest of the world: lovey dovey

O, I forgot, I watched Rambo today. Thought I would get rid of all the love with some plotless action. Worked pretty well.

spanish word of the day: corazon (I think it means heart)

Hi everyone,

I am a little behind. Actually, three fricken days. It is really getting hard to remember what I did over the past few days. So, I will try my best.

Monday.

Pretty self explanitory. Went to school today. came home. had a piano lesson. piano lesson was good. Found out I have piano achevement day (master class) and a concert on the same day. That is going to be uber-bad. I had to call the scouts for almost the final time. That's right, on the 17th, I will no longer be in control. Thank goodness.

Tuesday.

Today, I went to school again. if you haven't figured this out, I do it fairly regularly. It was quite a good day. This poet came into our english class and taught us about modern poetry. It is really weird. You do things like take every 5th word out of the dictionary. Or go around and have people write phrases and then combine them with popular books. Here are some examples: (this is from peoples phrases, random phrases, and a story about a lady that broke her pelvis)

The fish is in the tree,

and where, where does the tiger buy

inhuman of the veritable ocean

the tree was so tall, it seemed to scrape the sky

the raw agonizing air

and put its head down, "Kingston

Hey, I am writing this at church so I have to go home. I will finish it there.

Hi,

This is why procrastination is bad. Last post on wednesday said that I would post "tomorrow". It is now sunday. and I still haven't posted. Can't really remember what happened on wed, thurs, fri, (well maybe a little fri). But, I will try my best.

Wednesday,

(insert stuff Jimbo did on wednesday here) Ok, I really don't remember what happened wednesday, except the usual school/church/nerd stuff. So, if you did anything with my on wednesday (even if it was just wave in the hall) email me about it, and I will put it in here.

Thursday

(see wednesday, but insert thursday where ever it says wednesday)

Friday

I kinda remember today. I think Ryan got his permit today. or yesterday. this is no fun. ryan is driving before me. zipping by me in his mama's volvo. While my dad's volvo is just sitting out in the snow. I really want a van now more than ever. Cuz having a van would rock so much. I don't know why. Just micealaneous reasons. (I know it is spelled wrong, but I am not going to look it up) Had a dream that I started a coffee shop out of my van once. It rocked. But I am getting off subject, so..... Today, I did the regular school stuff. (Yawn) O! The stupid school got rid of one of the vending machines. Now none of the machines in the school have gummy worms. I almost cried. Then I bought gummy bears and felt better. Anyway, left for a scout trip today. My mom went to a movie while I was away. In fact she left for the movie before I was even gone. I got a ride to the school where we were meeting from my scoutmaster. He was about 30 min late, but that was good. Because while I was waiting on the porch, I realized that I almost forgot my sleeping bag. So, we made it up to camp tahosa. It was freezing. It wouldn't have been cold, but the wind was going like a million miles per hour. We walked into our cabin and found a frozen squirrel beneath the stove. we took that out with a shovel. And I, (being the troop FIRE EXPERT) started the fire. The cabin took forever to warm up, considering the stove is the only heat. Then we had crackers and other snack type stuff as an evening snack. And the guys played "Mafia" (card game) for a while. (I should never have taught them that game, it is probably the loudest thing they could ever do) (which is funny, considering it is a fairly quiet game) (at least it drains their energy) Mr. B, (our scoutmaster) told them all about Tahosa Tommy (a fictional ghost that haunts the camp with an axe) and scared the bajeebees out of a bunch of the scouts. I got a new nickname to add to all the other ones I have gotten over my scouting career. For most of the trip I was known as "Sir, yes sir" eventhough our troop is the least military troop ever. I got other nicknames over the weekend, but this is just friday night, so I will say those later. Richie, told me that I was a good senior patrol leader, which brought a tear to my eye and a fire to my heart. (Then I realized that I had fallen on the stove and should probably get off) jk. The good spl part is true, but all the other cheesy stuff is false. That was friday.

end of friday.

Saturday

Saturday. Very good day. Woke up about 5 seconds before taps. This was one of the few campouts where we had a bugler, so we actually had taps. Later in the day the bugler got sick, so that was the only taps we had all weekend, but still taps. I was afraid there was going to be an epidemic considering all of the kids had been screwing around the night before with the bugle, but luckily there wasn't. We snow shoed down to the lake and went sledding, and had a giant snowball fight on liberty rock. Liberty rock is this giant hill they have next to the lake that has a lot of cool places to sled and stuff. Then, after that got cold, we went back up to the cabin and played some cards. I did pretty well at hearts, but couldn't beat Mr. B. He is a beast. I fixed my snowpants with duct tape. and took a hike down to the meadow with joe and andy. we signed off some stuff for andy's next rank. and talked about random junk.

Ok, this is a different paragraph because it is the best part of the day. Our troop has made the newest and greatest winter sport. We call it, Sockey. Although this is also the name of a japanese alcoholic beverage, it is actually a cross between soccer and hockey.

The 2nd annual Tahosa Sockey Tournement featured

The Troop 63: Team Nameless. Featuring: Dave B, Mark B, Richie H, Joe T, and Alex B

vs.

The Troop 63: Fighting dumples. Featuring: Andy W, Jim L, Matt L, Brian B, and star forward Jimbo Baggins.

It was a tough game. Team Nameless began with three goals that were unanswered until far into the 2nd period. Then, Jimbo Baggin's first goal lead the spirits of the Fighting Dumples like a speeding freight train into the moral of Team Nameless. J. Baggins almost scored a double hat trick. Andy W, made 3 goals. Jim L made 1. Brian B made two. And the teams fearless goalie Matt L stopped countless shots. The teams victory dances became more and more elaborate as the game progressed. The victory dances even had names, such as, spinning dumples, and the wall of dumples.

End the end the fighting dumples emerged victorious. The only major injury of the game actually happened after the game, when richie fell down and got a nice bruise. Medical professionals brought him up the mountain on a sled while the rest of the winded players followed behind (by medical professionals, I mean Joe.) (it wasn't that bad) Richie was a trooper despite the fact that his face swelled to be larger than Mr. B's van. (jk richie) Dinner was spaghetti. (compliments to chef andy) quite good. breadsticks included. I might even say it was close to Olive Garden standards. Richie stayed in bed for quite a while because his blow to the head was just short of a concussion, so he was a bit nauseaus. (how the heck do you spell that?) He had me come over and tell him jokes. Then we talked about Austin Powers for a pretty long time. It ended with everybody crowded around richie's bunk (which was barely big enough for richie, much less the whole group) I wrote the sermon for sunday morning, since I am the troop's chaplain's aid. I think all in all, it was a good day.

Ok, Sunday. almost done. and I need to finish, cuz everybody is gone to bed, and I have english to do. (that is what I call procrastination) This morning we packed up. I had a chocolate muffin. it was fricken awesome. all the glory of muffins and chocolate mixed into one beautiful breakfast delight. Then we had the first church service in troop 63 history. (Considering I am the first official chaplain's aid in troop 63 history.) Our goal was to leave at 9:30, but I think we left at like 9. That was really good. That meant that I would be able to take a shower before my meeting at the church. We got back to Columbine at about 10:45. I went home and took a shower, and unpacked. Then I went to the church for my belize meeting. That went until like 1:45ish. Then my dad and I drove stevie home from that, and I had to clean my room. I cleaned that. and did other chores. (my mom kept assigning me more things to do) I went to clairissa's house this afternoon. (I think that was why my mom was stalling me) (I think that subconsciencely she was slowing me down because she is worried that she is losing her little boy or something) (Phylis said that was insightful, you think so?) (So she spelled the name wrong on a card, and instead of just getting another card from the ones she had made she decided to erase pen.) (I am not saying she intentionally spelled it wrong, but maybe something inside her made her do it) I am not sure. Anyway, Clairissa had never seen the movie Groundhog Day, so I brought that over to her house, and we watched it with her mom, and little brother and sister. It was fun. Clairissa's mom made cookies. They were awesome. And I had candy hearts. They were awesome too. I found out that clairissa likes the green ones. and her mom likes the yellow ones. and that I don't know what kind I like, but it certainly isn't pink. I think it is funny that our world is so technologically advanced that those hearts say "fax me" on them. That is love right there, say it with a computer copy of your love note. My gosh. Plus there was one that said page me. This must be the "busy surgeon pak" or something. Weird. Crazy people with their fax machines. Anyway, for dinner, we had steak, which was really good. I hadn't had steak in a long time. We have alot of chicken in the baggins home. so a good old cow was just the ticket. plus there were potatoes and salad and all the things a boy could ever need. I had a poke war with clairissa's little brother and sister. (which I regret to say that they won) we watched some of "Robin Hood, Men In Tights" on ABC family, and then I had to go to youth group at 6:30. Clairissa and her mom gave me a ride to the church. (they rock) (plus they are like the only two people that actually read this anyway) I went into church, and there was cake. (provided by clairissa's mom) It was yummy. I can always use some cake. We played knockout, and I rocked it. In fact, I think it was the best game of my life. I made practically every shot. We played pictionary. Here's what I drew. See if you can guess. (from the bible) click it.

ok, if you guessed covenant, you are correct. If the bedsheets don't make sence, it was because I was going for covernant, but nobody figured that out. I didn't think it was that bad. heh. That was pretty much youth group for the night. Some of the pictionary got pretty hardcore, but I am going to keep this post pg. If you want to know about it, talk to me on aim or msn.

Hiya!

Today is Tuesday. February 3, 2004. On this day in history............................ stuff probably happened. Who knows? I am certainly not going to look it up. but I bet if you typed www.thisdayinhistory.com you could find something. (actually I am not even sure if that site is real, so if it is porno or something, not my fault. ) Maybe I should check that. If it is that, please email me and tell me before my youth pastor reads this. That could be bad. Ok, as far as I can tell, it isn't porn. Does have a nice big picture of Castro's head though. I dunno why. I don't think he was born today. If anybody knows when Castro was born tell me. He must be like a million years old.

Anyway, you have to see what I am doing right now!

Lets just say I ate this absolutley wonderful sunday delight, I felt ashamed. and dirty. (if you were wondering, this actually does have to do with my day.) (but I will explain later)

Let's see, this morning I got up and had an apple turnover for breakfast. it was good. bad for me, but good tasting. I enjoyed it. (at least it didn't have frosting) I went to school. Mom wanted me to sign up for this alive at 25 program that the school is doing. because it is basically free, and counts as a type of drivers ed. I went to the commons to sign up. Nobody that had anything to do with the program was there. I called mom, asked her if she was sure she had the right day. she said yes, 3 - 7 for sign ups. But there were only 25 spots, so hurry and sign up! I never found it in the morning. at lunch I saw a sign that said alive at 25 sign up sheet. But there was no sheet near it. So I guess I will try tomorrow. The class is probably full now, that would be ironic. especially cuz I woke up early today to get there to sign up.

ok. Math - did math

2nd - science - did this dumb timeline thing that miller really didn't explain to well.

3rd- intro to theater. there was this traveling play that came to the school during periods 3 and 5. so the schedule was different today. 3 and 5 were like 75 min long. went to the play during 3rd. It was good. 4 people that played more than 8 parts. It was cool. Kind of a depressing play though. One of those, my boyfriend died, I was depressed forever, but life goes on, Don't do drugs kinda plays. it was good. though. I got a bit emotional. No, I didn't cry. There was something in my eye. I swear.

4th - english - used my awesome good writing skills to write a topic sentence for my essay. then I worked on my picture of a ninja fighting a tiger, next to a giant faucet. I decided that I would just take a picture of that picture, since I don't have a scanner. So here it is.....

ok, well it isn't coming up, because I apparently have alread taken up enough space with the ice cream pictures. O there it goes. Way to prove me wrong you dumb computer

Ok, I am just going to keep typing while inserting pictures. So if they come up in the middle of a sentence, sorry. So that is my picture of a ninja fighting a tiger next to a faucet. I though it was cool that the faucet has actually made an ocean and junk behind them. It isn't done yet though. I still need to color and shade some stuff, but I thought it was looking pretty good.

ok, after english (and awesome cool picture drawing) I have lunch. And it was 75 min. So Davy, Will, Ryan, Tyler, Me and some other people went up to mcdonalds. While walking up the hill, Davy and I tryed to calculate whether or not all the walking would actually burn off all the fat that we would gain from a big mac. We decided it wouldn't. Davy and I ditched the rest of the group, and went to subway. It was funny because the lady at subway yelled at davy for not knowing the name of a sandwich. I thought it was great. and the soda machine kept randomly spitting out ice. We thought that we should investigate, but were afraid that there might be a monster living in the machine. It was really

funny. This kid came in with his mom, and was about to push the button for mountain dew without a cup underneath. We thought it would have been hilarious. but for some reason the mom objected. bummer. Then we went back to school, and quoted the simpsons. And davy fell in the mud. and wiped it off onto a tree.

6th period is my off.

Leslie and I slid her waterbottle back and forth across the table, going faster and faster until it hit sam, (who was transferring milk from one container to another) It was really funny. Sam had been saying that the milk was gross the whole time, and then it was all over him. and then while he was picking up his stuff, kevin and rand came over and gave him tittie twisters. They have a sick sence of humor, but it was still kinda funny.

Then was 7th - gym - volleyball - need I say more?

8th - spanish - teacher called on me while I was coloring the ninja fighting the tiger. I stumbled my way through what she wanted me to do. but I didn't feel to bad, because earlier she had called on a kid to give a speech and he was sleeping. He ended up sleeping the entire period. hehehe.

after school, I went to the dermatologist to get rid of ugly acne skin. The doctor lady made me feel ugly. She said "well, these are our three strongest medications, I want you to take all of them and see what happens." Is it really that bad? or is she just making sure that she kills it all? I dunno. I think I finally have my shakespeare thingy memorized. I had a boyscout meeting. Tonight was elections. Meaning that on the 17th I will no longer be senior patrol leader. But on the other hand, I will become, instructor, chaplian's aide, and a den chief. There was also an OA election. don't know how that turned out yet. (but I already have it, so it doesn't really matter) Then I came home, and had 3 gatorades and the wonderful ice cream pictured above.

(o by the way, I ate half a box of apple jacks after school too.) Just in case anybody wanted to know.

Today I am going to change it up a bit with the french word of the day:

The french word is: artificiel pelican (with an accent over the E)means: artificial pelican thanks to Clairissa for being wicked awesome at french and telling me how to say that.

The quote of the day would have to be............ "Imagine if I didn't have insurance, I would be hidious!"

ok bye!

Current Mood : cool. actually, I am cold. That was alot of ice cream.

hi.

First D.J.: Rise and shine, campers, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today.

Second D.J.: It's cold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?

First D.J.: Not hardly.


Today is monday. Groundhog day. If you haven't seen groundhog day with Bill Murray, go see it. Comedy film at its greatest. That is a quote. From that movie. Good film. Planning to watch it with Clairissa on Sunday, if that plan works out. So anywho, 6 more weeks of winter apparently. News today was quite interesting. I feel bad for the patriots. I only heard one news guy say that they won today. Everybody was talking about Janet Jackson's boob, or the streaker guy, or the lingerie bowl, or the gigantic booger that was supposedly hanging from one of the sports caster's noses. So, just to set things straight. The patriots won, not Janet Jackson't boob. They do actually play football during the superbowl. You can tell that our society is really going down the crapper. Why don't the singers just start making out on stage? Seriously. I think that the whole boob thing was planned. It is all a conspiracy to get out eyes off the real meaning behind the super bowl. You wanna know what the real meaning is? eh? It's football! That's right, they occasionally do throw around the ball a bit at the superbowl! So I am kinda angry at the media for not putting the spotlight on the real purpose of the game. But anyway, I think the whole boob thing was staged. What are the chances he would be singing "I'm gunna get you naked by the end of this song" right when he did it? I think Timberlake is dumb. What is wrong with that guy? Even if the boob thing hadn't of been there, I think people would have been offended. Why don't they just all start doing it on stage? Cuz nobody is there to listen to them sing anymore. Stupid Media. I think they are dumb. Sorry if you don't agree, but that is my opinion.

Anyway, back to today.

got a ride to school. Had a danish for breakfast (very high in sugar)

period 1: math - the usual math stuff. Angles and such

period 2: science - we had an assembly to pick our classes for next year. I just about had a panic attack when I realized that I don't even know what I want to do tomorrow, much less next year. Mr. Miller was flirting with one of the councelors. It was funny. He was bad at it.

Miller: "I like listening to you talk" (awkward silence) "because I learn too"

Wow miller, that was sad. I'm sorry, but it was. I think he saw that he was dead in the water about 5 seconds into the awkward silence and that was the only way to bail himself out.

period 3: intro to theater - worked on our newscast thingy. Talked about how Janet Jackson is dumb. Talked about how micheal jackson is a sicko.

period 4 - english - wrote some stuff. The usual.

period 5 - went to library to study shakespeare piece that I am reading on thursday.

period 6 - went to go make up a math test that I missed while sick. I rocked it. Hardcore. I think my grade is up to a B now. We only have like 3 assignments so far, so that was like half my grade.

period 7 - gym. Almost killed myself doing squats. maxed at 150. tried for more. almost flipped over. Thank goodness for spotters. That was scary. my neck hurts. Those cushiony thingies don't keep the bar from killing your neck. I felt fairly week. The other two people in my group are big hauses. they are crazy. they could lift my house.

period 8 - spanish - slept/drew a picture. O and spanish in there too.

Piano lesson after school. kinda dull. after that I came home. ate 4 pieces of pizza. ruined my dinner. called scouts in my troop. almost the last time. Tomorrow night it elections. So I will no longer be Senior Patrol Leader. No more importance for Jimbo. but on the other hand, No more getting blamed for everything. boy scout trip this weekend, at tahosa. I searched for hours for this ghost story that takes place at tahosa, but couldn't find it. I have decided to write my own. Clairissa and I had a compliment war. It was fun. That is pretty much it. Have a good night every body.

Spanish word "papas fritas - french fries"

Quote of the day - "Janet Jacksons boob outshines all"

ok bye!

[sorry if that seemed offensive at all, (mentioning janet jackson so much) but hey, it's true. and I didn't talk about it as much as the news.]

Current Mood - This was the closest thing I could find to really freakin tired.

Hey,

Wow, who would have thought that I could watch tv for two days? Ok, I wasn't really watching that whole time. I was busy doing my acidemic studies, memorizing shakespear, contemplating the universe, the usual. (for once all of that is true) (had to do science, english teacher made me promise to do shakespeare festival, and the universe is easy to contemplate when there are girls around) Anywho, I am a big procrastinator, so now I have to write about 3 days of stuff. So here it goes. This may take a while, so get popcorn now.

Friday

Ok this day is going to be hard to remember now. O well. I will try my best. Ok, today I went to school. I don't really remember all that happened. I do remember that at lunch I had a bagel with cheese and a mountain dew. (The pop machine has been out of cherry pepsi for like a week! GAAAAHHHH!) Anyway, I sat with the usual people and stuff. We changed lindsay's phone to spanish. I had to go take a spanish test because I missed it. They all warned me that I would fail, because everybody except cole failed. So I went in and naturally I aced it. (go me) ( I fricken rock) (Es verdad) (That's it's true in spanish) (Yo estoy bein) (Y tu madre tambien) (Yo tengo los chicharones)

Hey! I just came up with something! New for the jimbolog! The spanish word of the day! Everybody will love it! Ok, great.

So, I was feelin pretty pumped after getting such a fricken awesome grade on that. We played basketball in gym again. The championship game and such. We won. That rocked. Go us. I don't think I made a single shot all day. At least I ate up the clock. meh. Get to sign the spalding trophy on monday I think. (it is a basketball that all the winners sign) (fairly self-explanitory) Anywho, that is good. In spanish, I had already finished the speech we were supposed to write, so I drew a picture of a tiger fighting a ninja, (once I get a scanner, I will show it to you fine people) We play this game where somebody draws an irregular shape, and I have to turn it into something. It shows my amazing art ability (gosh, friday was a good day for showing off) Anyway, after school ryan came over again. O! O! I forgot, at lunch I went with my buddy mike to his friend matt's house. and we played madden 2000, patriots vs panthers. Patriots won by a landslide (probably because they were me) (another show off moment) Matt kept trying to restart the ps2 by shooting at the off button with his aerosoft gun. (ricoshe is scary, and hard to spell) It was fun. We broke alot of stuff. Like a glass that we shot, and part of the vent on the playstation. He he he. It was great. And then we started talking about whether or not it hurts more to get shot in the hand or the head. We decided hand, cuz there are more nerves there. Anywho, back to ryan coming over. Ryan came over. We played aqua aqua. It rocks still. Then we went to the one acts at school. They were really good. The second play alone was worth the money. It was about this kid that is worried about failure and stuff. and his brain argues with itself. And how school is nothing but a flamboyent test of our will power. If I can find the script online, I will put a link. It was sweet though. it had everything. and cookies. gotta have the cookies. my friend lara played the mom, who offers the cookies, it was sweet. great preformance, made me want cookies (actually, I always want cookies, but this made me want them more) The play after that was called "The day the president called and called and called...." It had my friends kristen and shannon in it. shannon pushed somebody over a couch, it was sweet. heh (wow that was funny) My friend Mike's brother (named fokker) directed it. The other director was named captain binford. (Those are theird stage names if you didn't figure that out.) I sat with Mike and Ryan during the play. I traded Mike my cherry coke for two blow pops. They were good. Ryan and I had a sword duel with our programs. It was cool. I think he got some major welts. I really regreted not auditioning for the one acts afterward. Doh! o well, you win some you lose some. What else happened today? O yea, Mrs. Kelly made me promise that I would do the shakespeare festival. she also made me promise to do this short story contest. apparently I have great literary potential. (more showing off for Jimbo) I think it is funny that I have to do the shakespeare festival, when I am not even sure how to spell his name. Heh. Anywho, here is my thingy for the competition.

May I be so converted and see with
these eyes? I cannot tell; I think not: I will not
be sworn, but love may transform me to an oyster; but
I'll take my oath on it, till he have made an oyster
of me, he shall never make me such a fool. One woman
is fair, yet I am well; another is wise, yet I am
well; another virtuous, yet I am well; but till all
graces be in one woman, one woman shall not come in
my grace. Rich she shall be, that's certain; wise,
or I'll none; virtuous, or I'll never cheapen her;
fair, or I'll never look on her; mild, or come not
near me; noble, or not I for an angel; of good
discourse, an excellent musician, and her hair shall
be of what colour it please God. Ha! the prince and
Monsieur Love! I will hide me in the arbour.

This sounds funnier if you have seen the play. In the next part he is trying to convince himself that he is in love, but he doesn't believe himself. And he ends it with saying the what the heck, the world must be peopled. (but in a cheesy shakespeare type way)

So, that is what I am doing. Plus, the next play is The Tempest, so if I want to audition for that, I need some experience. If I win the shakespeare thingy, I get to go to boulder, and if I win there, I go to New York, and then if I win there, London. (but I am not planning on any of that.) (Going to boulder would be a big surprise)

If I do good in the short story contest, my story will actually be published in a book. A BOOK! So, hopefully good vibes for that. Meh. Anywho, that was basically my day on Friday.

Spanish word of the day: Chiccharones - pork rines

Quote of the day: "Athens is false" (from the play, it rocked my face off)

ok bye!

Hi again! Just pretend that this is a new post! Saturday!

Today I woke up, showered, threw the wet towels on an electrical power strip, played video games, watched a shakespeare video (gosh I am a geek), ate blueberries, and all of this before noon.

ok, after all that. (or spanish despues de all that) Shannon and Lara came over and we did a news report for theater class. It was about a bunch of directors in the 40s. We found out that all of them were gay. That was kinda weird. One of them died by choking on a bottle cap. If you want the script for the newscast, email me, and I will post it. But I don't want to post if none of you are going to read it. It was a good video. I think my mom found it weird to have more than one girl in the house when it wasn't a party. She made a platter of sandwiches. I ate them all (is that piggish?) (Hey! I need something to take the place of the sugar!) Anyway, our newscast rocked. It was kind of offensive but funny. It was cool. I went to the one acts again, (but this time it was because I had to usher) I had to wear black and white, and this usher vest that was gold. and I have to admit, it looked kinda gay, but I figured, "Hey I look important!" Anywho, a bunch of my friends got there, and their friends seemed to think that I looked pretty dumb, so I think they were making fun of me. So that was kinda depressing, but eh. I sat with mike again. Traded him a gatorade for a blow pop. This time Shannon pushed the girl all the way over the couch. And the couch moved like 3 feet. It rocked. Mike and I bet a dollar on the Superbowl, and um... That is pretty much it.

spanish word : No - No

quote of the day: "We learned chinese on tuesday." (still from the play)

ok bye!

-Jimbo

PS. somehow tonight, my sweater got wet, I dunno why.

wow! this one just keeps going!

ok sunday, today. a good day. except that I got hit in the nads with a football, and in the knew with a metal pipe. Went to church this morning. Played some basketball, ate some doughnuts, inhaled some sugar, drank some soda, went to service with clairissa, sarah, regi, and cody. Laughed about how the ceiling leaks. Learned a new math game that nathan taught me. Got pretty good at it. Church was good overall. Came home. Ate chilli. Argued with my grandpa about how the panthers wouldn't win the superbowl. took a shower. played video games. took towels off of electrical socket. dropped them in middle of room, next to soda stain. went to mike's house for a superbowl party. made quick alliences with other patriots fans. got a perfect spot on the couch. started fighting with jordan because he was rooting panthers and being quite annoying. got brian to steal jordan's seat. jordan sat on brian. got nick to steal jordan's seat. Jordan sat on nick. thought about stealing jordan's seat. Decided I didn't want to be crushed. watched brian and nick wrestle. got hit with a metal pipe by jordan. all in good fun. but painful. got phylis to steal jordan's seat. jordan sat on phylis. Phylis didn't move. Jordan sat on me. I moved. sat on the floor. pinched jordan's leg. he pinced my neck. phylis freaked out. we stopped. jordan knocked soda over. phylis freaked out. couch wet. phylis and mike cleaned couch. jordan blamed me. I got pissed. phylis blamed us both (probably true) I blamed jordan (so did all the other patriots fans) finally was decided I was not a fault. wanted my spot on the couch back. it was warm there. lots of people. patriot central. where all the best fans were. layed on the floor. somebody opened the door. got cold. jordan nailed me in the nards with a football. went and played uno. would have won. forgot to say uno. doh! got back at jordan by making him take cards. came back into tv room. got spot closer to couch. game finally getting interesting. watched half time. dumb. extremely. and at the end it looked like you could see janet jackson's boob. I wasn't the only one who noticed. girls noticed too. I am not a perv. It looked like justin timberlake ripped off part of her costume that wasn't supposed to come off. but she didn't really try to hide it, so maybe it was intentional. I really don't want to think about it though. Overall I thought halftime was dumb. According to the radio, there was a streaker. tv didn't show him. meh. Jordan and I made another bet on the game. loser had to roll in the snow topless. patriots won. jordan rolled. it was awesome. I expected more rolling though. psh. had alot of cheetos. they were good. good day overall. came home. typed this. ate cheesecake. just a tiny cupcake thing. O! and by the way. some of you at church today found out that I ate a box of nilla wafers that were supposed to be saved by my mom. I said it was a conspiracy because saved wasn't written on the box. it is true, mom admitted to writing it after I had eaten. More on that story later.

Spanish word of the day: tortilla - if you don't know what a tortilla is, you are in trouble

Quote of the day: Said this while we were failing to white wash jordan with snow "you guys tackle like the panthers!"

ok bye!

Go panthers!
