Beating on your meat and music

I drove 30 miles this morning to go to school... out in the middle of nowhere in the boonies... see pics below.






























Only to hear this hilarious statement from his sexy professor:

"beating anything can be a form of music"

The class started laughing and then the professor realized what he said, then he said yes, "beating your meat can be a form of music."

Then the teacher was laughing so hard, he could barely talk, so said we could have a 10 minute break. When we get back from the break he said he had time to go beat his meat and make some music and was ready to teach again. Damn. I missed it.

Took the photo below after leaving the train station. My sister called me saying mom was stuck at work and couldn't pick her up, could I? She had a real attitude on the phone, but I relented and said I'd pick her up. The only condition was if she got in the car with an attitude, I was leaving her. I got to the train station; she got in the car and began whining. I told her to get out and she said "no, I'll be good and I can't tell her what to do... she can call the police on me for abandoning her." I said please do, then just sat there, got her worried by acting like I was going to call mom. Then called my mom, she got out, and I went to the mall. My sister got in quite a bit of trouble this afternoon from my mom. Haha... made my day.
















Have a great 3 day weekend guys and STAY COOL!!!

M: she likes girls
F: try it
F: you need a relationship
M: sure y not?
M: but honestly i feel if I were to go into a relationship with her it'd be different than all my others
M: mainly cuz she wasn't a friend beforehand so we could go FARTHER
F: how would it be different?
M: so there wouldn't be the friendship element there
F: like bad different. or good different?
M: so we wouldn't worry so much about hurting each other I guess you could say or ruining our friendship
F: I see
M: I'm not suure if that's good or bad
F: so you're saying because you guys weren't really friends for a long time, it wouldn't have a the friendship side of things to hurt
M: yea

M: you didn't pick up on that above
F: LOL
M: well.. it's really your choice.... personally, I wouldn't want to be with a girl that prefers girls over guys sexually... I mean, that's just weird
F: that bothers me
F: I've heard that girls can please a girl better and all, but dang... that's just wrong if you were to be in a relationship with her

Beer shots... Saturday 11a.m.??? Anyone down?

We have a gray white board at home and we write down important dates etc. My mom wrote on it that on Saturday we're having "Beer shots Sat. 11a.m." We're getting the party started early. Is that not what it looks like? I don't see an "a" in there.




What my mom meant to say was "Bear shots Sat. 11a.m." Bear is my sister's dog who apparently is due for her yearly shots.

I had to make fun of my mom after she wrote this and then snap a photo of it just to taunt her with it if needbe in the future. She denies she wrote Beer shots and that I'm misreading it. I'll let you judge... but in the meantime if anyone is down for Saturday at 11 for beer shots, let me know, we'll see what we can arrange.

Pumped up part 2

I spent the better part of an hour im'ing The Guy. He said he was going to the bookstore. I told him I had to go to. We decided to go together.

Got over to his place about 6:30. He was on the phone with his friend in San Francisco who is going through a lot of tough times. He talked on the phone and we were whispering back and forth, making faces at each other, then decided to go to the bookstore. He talked while we were in the car and finally about half of the way through said he had to go. So we talked about random stuff like the book I had to get. My mom has been asking me for the better part of the month to go over to the mall by where The Guy lives since it is the only bookstore that has it.

We go to Borders and they don't have the sci-fi book The Guy wants. As we were going in 2 hot guys were walking in. We get in there and there are hotties everywhere. The Guy and I ended up walking around the whole store stalking the hot guys and counting. We counted 8 hot guys there and we were making comments back and forth to each other. They didn't notice us... haha.

We go to Barnes & Noble at the other end of the parking lot and he goes looking for his book and I get the one my mom wants. Then I get some biography to read next week on the plane (I'm going to Nashville). I meet up with The Guy once I found my books. We decide to check out the DVDs. The Guy finds 20 he instantly needs, but decides not to since they aren't on BlueRay. The Guy does buy one however, so we check out in the back. The guy who checked us out JJ was talking about shows like Scrubs etc. and the 3 of us were totally flirting with each other.

JJ asked The Guy if he had a Barnes & Noble Member Card. He said no because you have to pay. The Guy was thinking about getting one etc. etc. Then The Guy said he'll get one, grabs the books I had in my hand, then says he'll pay for them if he is getting one. The Guy asks if I had a card and I said yes. JJ said we could use my member card for The Guy's purchase. So The Guy said he'd get me dinner since I saved him $25.00. HAHA. As we're standing there I pick up the Beach Boys CD "The Warmth of the Sun" and the 4th season of "JAG." There went my recycling money. Sounds like I'm becoming as impulsive as The Guy when it comes to buying stuff. Anyways, I pay for my stuff, then we leave.

In the car we talked about what we've been up to. The Guy went to Phoenix on Saturday on a whim, got off the plane, rented a Nissan 350Z, went to a bar, met a hot guy in the bar, decided he wasn't his type, realized he had an ugly friend with him, but befriended the ugly friend to meet the other hot guy that the ugly guy was with. The 3 guys were really wasted and The Guy was too, but not as wasted, or so I'm told. The 3 invite him to stay in their hotel room and so The Guy gets to sleep with the hot guy he wanted. They didn't do anything sexual. The boys were from Colorado. The Guy paid for their breakfast in exchange for letting him spend the night with them, then took off, came back to California. Went to Arizona for the bars...? I had to make fun of him for that... LA seems more of a bar/gay scene than Phoenix, but The Guy had fun, so I guess that's all that counts. Man... I'd love to have a weekend like that!!! Let me just take a moment to make it clear The Guy and I are not going out. We're just good friends... friends with benefits...

This led to The Guy telling me that Joe (the guy from Florida, he met online and now lives out here, who I mentioned a week or so back, who is 22) dog sat for him while he was gone. The Guy asked if I would ever dog sit for him, I said yes; he said he might take me up on the offer. He said Joe needed to print something on Sunday and The Guy was hanging out with his friend Zack, but invited Joe to print since he doesn't have a printer. The Guy said that Joe hung around for a while and then sat down, watched the movie with Zack and The Guy making The Guy uncomfortable because Joe was ruining and commenting on everything about the movie. Then The Guy basically told Joe he had to leave since The Guy can't joke around Joe. So Joe is now mad at The Guy.

We went, got Chinese food, went back, watched an episode of Stargate, then The Guy said he was going to go read his book and call it a night. During dinner I told The Guy about my sister and we made fun of her for little things like her driving or her taking the train to college, or her view on curse words... haha. I left and got home a little shy of 9p.m.

We also talked about how The Guy goes through stages of wanting to avoid people like when he doesn't take his meds or runs out. So that's the stage The Guy is going through now.

Great night overall though... it was great to just be with him, talk, actually talk about meaningful stuff, etc. etc. I'm pumped.

I'm feeling pumped today...

Woke up in a GREAT mood. Slept great last night (for the first time in nights). Woke up at 6:30 ready to go. I watched news and watered outside until about 9a.m. KTLA Morning Show was good this morning since Jessica Holmes wasn't on. Watched Regis and Kelly at 9, but that was boring, so I took off to the gym. Had a good leg workout. Now I feel like I'm waddling when I walk because of the workout. Haha. Saw and talked to a girl who I went to h.s. with who helped me out a lot last year and the year before when I was trying to transfer colleges. She actually went to the college I do and transferred to a different one- she was as unhappy as I was for the same reasons. It was good to see her.

I felt the urge to spend money, so went to the mall. I bought 2 shirts at Gottschalks and 2 at Sears. Went in JCPenney and found a couple outfits for my sister for her birthday at the end of next month, so I bought those. Had to call my sister when I was there to get her size and she was very hesitant to give it to me. She never likes anything I pick out. I don't care. I don't think its that I have bad taste. My sister just won't venture from shorts and a t-shirt that often. Yes... as much as I say I hate her (and I think I do); I really do have a soft side to me and try to be nice.

After all that work at the mall I worked up an appetite. I hit In-N-Out for some animal style fries. I came home and made a small steak that we had leftover from dinner the other night to top off my meal. It was delish... nice steak with some Trader Joes 21 Seasoning, a dash of salt, cooked in a pan with some olive oil... yum!

fries on the right... grilled onions, cheese, and the secret sauce...

Then the weather outside... it is a bit hot... we're supposed to be 99. There is not a cloud in the sky. It is just nice- here's 2 photos I took while out driving. The first is in the warehouse district coming back from the mall.

I'm not sure what I'm going to get into the rest of the day, but it should be fun. Maybe I should make dessert since I'm cool like that and eat dessert after every meal.

Edit: I decided to take our bottles and cans to be recycled. We had about 10 bags (2 1/2 months worth). We got $36.93 from that. The rule in my family is who takes the cans to be recycled gets the money. So I'm going to go to use that money to go the mall tonight for some new threads (haha K) and then I'll be real fly and stylin'.

The Mega Millions Lotto Jackpot is $250 million, so I think I need a lotto ticket tonight.

Cambios en música

De improviso mi sabor en la música ha cambiado. Suddenly my musical tastes have changed.

Ahora estoy escuchando a la música española. I am now listening to Spanish music.



Desde pop como Christina Aguilera y Shakira a Maná. From pop like Christina Aguilera and Shakira to Mana.


"Bendita tu Luz" - Mana

En el carro he puesto un botón en la radio por Latino 96.3. Latino 96.3 tiene una buena mixta de música de ingles y Espanol. In the car I have preset Latino 96.3 on the radio. Latino 96.3 has a good mix of music in Spanish and English.

Yo no sé donde esto vino de. Yo nunca he escuchado a la música española realmente antes. I don't know where this came from. I have never really listened to Spanish music before.

The meeting at work...

Went well and was done in an hour. It lasted from 3-4.

The question came up midway through about what to do about a lead tutor. I was told in June I would be. That's basically because of everything I said in my previous post about how I know this and that and none of the other tutors do. So the coordinator asked if anyone else would like to be... there was a hush in the room.

Mike sat in a student desk huddled around the 6 other tutors, coordinator and looked down, thought about it. Mike then looked up and said something to the effect, "I'm thankful that you guys think that I handle these duties so well and I am certainly capable at fulfilling these duties on a daily basis." The coordinator, Mrs. C, said I do a "kick ass job" and should continue.

I said there is a big "BUT" and pay is an issue. I said I don't mind doing these things, but I don't see that I am getting paid for this. I don't mind arranging guest speakers, making phone calls, making photocopies, handling timecards, handling all the budget related stuff, but I am not being paid more than anyone else for doing this. I am getting paid, but not anymore. I said I do all of it because it is beneficial for the students and I find that really rewarding and the coordinator thanked me for my efforts. I said maybe you feel it is out of the goodness of my heart I should do it, but all of this is above and beyond what is in the contract that I signed when I was hired. Mrs. C said she realized what I was saying, but the district has the pay set, she championed for more pay for us, but there is nothing she can do.

So she opened up the forum to the other tutors and asked if they wanted to step in. Loud Mouth did. So now Loud Mouth is the lead tutor. I could care less... it is just a title with more work for the same pay. Loud Mouth said she didn't know if she could handle all of this herself (typical response from her) so Mrs. C asked if anyone else would be willing to help her. Gonzo and B volunteered. So now there are 3 lead tutors. I like that... it takes 3 people to do my job. I know I'll end up doing a lot of this stuff even though I'm not lead tutor.

Anyways, afterward Mrs. C said that she could pay me some overtime hours to help her set up her classroom with the new stuff for the program. So I did that for 3 3/4 hours with Loud Mouth... heck yes!!! I left school at 7:45p.m on a Friday night... haha

I was talking to Mrs. C afterward after Loud Mouth and Gonzo left. She said she knows I'll be the one who does the stuff still, so it doesn't matter she chose them 3. She knows Loud Mouth won't get anything accomplished; Gonzo will, but it will take time for her to find everything out; and B is going to be busy with other things. Mrs. C said she still respects me and knows I'm there, sees how I feel, and will do her best to see what she can do.
