July 27th, 2003: friday: well, i attended church services with my parents, which was cool, i have some good friends there. my friend carlos, the son of the murdered father, opened up alot and talked about how he felt with his father's untimely passing. it was pretty heavy stuff, made me think alot about my dad, and that just turns on the waterworks for me, but...i was in a room full of hispanic, so Los Hombres No Lloran, so i held it in, i had to be a real man. after that, we planned our little water battle strategy against the adolescents of the church who were having a sleep over somewhere, its fun, and who doesn't like to get wet. so after failing to acquire stinkbombs, we settle for water balloons. so we go to a church members house to prepare, and once ready, my friend comes over and brings halloween masks, so i pick the werewolf, another Beavis and another a ski-mask, oh, and also a pair of white pantyhose for another dude, so we referred to him as "The White Rabbit". so beavis, me, ski mask boy and white rabbit lie in the bed of a truck, because, as you know, it's illegal to ride in the back of an open aired truck. so we get to the house, we creep in slowly, until our the driver gives us the signal to release our watery weapons. so we get the signal and we start launching at all the kids coming out of the house. it was madness i tells ya! i got some good hits in there. but then i saw someone in particular that i wanted to nail, so i had one balloon left, so i rear back my throwing to launch it, and as i'm ready to throw, the driver begins to speed off while i'm standing up in the truck! so i was thrown backwards and my legs hit the gate of truck. so me and my little buddies started chanting, "We own the night!", as we disappeared into the night...man, that was alot of fun. i miss being a kid and not having any worries.

saturday i hung out with josh and watched a flick. he burned me a copy of The Mars Volta album, which is very good i have to say. man, thanks to my fave Jew Aaron for telling Josh and i how great the album is, because we heard stuff of The Mars Volta: Tremulant, and josh and i weren't liking that shit, but the album is solid shit all the way through.

today i went to church, yada yada yada, afterwards we all had a picnic at the park nearby. it was alot of fun i have to say, telling stories about my roadtrip with some friends, played a hell of alot of soccer with the young'uns and big'uns alike, and i think i did pretty good at defending. lots of volleyball too, which is oodles of fun. man, my family kicks ass, we all love each other so much and it never feels like a chore when we hang out together, everyone gets along and everyone has a good time. and we actually love spending time together.

i miss stephanie...she's been gone for nearly a month, but luckily she'll be coming back home this thursday. i'm excited about that, i love her. i actually get to say that my sister is fuckin' cool instead of a constant pain in the ass like other siblings. i'm so glad i didn't grow up the only child, having a sibling is like having a friend for the rest of your life, it's beautiful thing indeed. well, i guess that's all, i won't be going to beat it again, on account of me not having any money, but atleast i'll be in my well air-conditioned home. shit though, i seriously wanna dance tonight. oh well.

July 1st, 2003: Wow, heres what I have done since my last update in a nutshell: went to New York City, great times, came home from NYC in three days  to see my awesome Tuesday Boys graduate, and it was so great to be there too, so glad I came in time to see that. And Shants little shindig afterwards was lots of fun too, good mingling going around. Well, Ive forgotten what else has happened, but last night was a fucking blast!! Josh, Shant and I went to Kelleys house for a little get together because her parents were going to be gone til Wednesday. Well, we were the first ones to show up, so we just sat around and talked to one another, and then other people started showing up. We all started noticing a common theme with these people too, "Hmm, patches, pins, studs, spikes, magenta hair, torn stockings, combat boots..Hey Josh, do you think these kids are punk rockers?" So anyway, Shant  and I had some alcohol, then we headed out to 7-11 for some snacks. We came back to find this guy Aaron who is super cool at the party that Ive hung out with a few times prior. So the four of us started talking about music and that was just cool. Aaron got me excited for the Mars Volta cd thats out already. Well, 11:00 oclock rolls around and Josh and Shant decided to make like trees and get outta there. Luckily I wasnt going to be alone for long because good ol Lucas, or as Chelsea affectionately calls him LaLu (its a little nickname I made up for him) was on his way to have himself a good fucking time. Seriously, in the first three minutes that Lucas arrived, he already had the punk girls drooling, saying things to him like, "Hey, I love your cheeks!", "You look like this guy I knew named Chad that I fucked back in grade school, which makes you so hot to me right now!"," Seriously, Lucas, you need to get a Mohawk so I will definitely have sex with you." By the way, I am not making that up at all, true story. Lucas and I had ourselves a ball, is all I can say. Much thanks goes to Ms. Kelley Lutter for the great party she threw. So yeah, so much other stuff happened at the party, but Ill save some of that for the next Del meeting. Updated at 12:35am.

June 2^, 2003: Alright, Thursday, Josh picked me up to go help him on his project for school. So we went all around Hollywood filming random crap, but first we made a short stop at Amoeba Music. Josh promised himself to only buy one cd, so with that said we separated to our respective musical sections, and when he came back, he mustve had five cds in his grip, he has no self-control, but its pretty funny though. He bought the new Queens of the Stone Age and a Los Lobos cd, and I purchased The Sounds album, which kicks ass and now they have become my new favorite band. After a few hours, we make it back to valley to pick up Gotti, and Josh goes insane and starts yelling, Wheres the Beef?! at random people on the street, and their reactions were so damn hilarious, and we started to laugh real hard. Well that was pretty much that day, so Saturday I went to go eat at Fuddruckers in Burbank, and that was one of the greatest burgers that I have eaten in a while, and I later went bowling with a group of friends, and that was a lot of fun. The biggest laugh of that evening was when we were at a stop light, and we turned to our right to see a woman picking her nose! I mean, God, she was up to her wrist! I honestly have never seen a woman pick her nose, and that image will stay with me for the rest of my life. So fastforward a few hours, its close to 2 am, I call Josh to see how prom was, and I really wanted to hang out with you guys, so I decided to sneak out of the house for a few hours. OOOHHH I felt like such a rebel. So it was basically Josh, me, Julia and good ol Howard. Well, we all know what happened with the afterparty, so we decided to go see the Marty McFly house by Joshs pad. We took some pictures and proceeded to drop off Josh. Pretty much the rest of the night was us driving around and talking about all kinds of good stuff, which was cool. Sunday, nothing really, just church and later on to go play basketball where I had a pretty damn good game for myself. Well, I guess thats it for now. I also told my dad that I want to go on the roadtrip, but he hasnt given me an answer yet, so we shall see how that goes. Updated at 1:55 pm.
