At Home The Ritalin Kid Journal

Well I sit here with nothing to really do so I came up with this ideal... what if I created a thread that pretty much just told everyone what I did each day.. like a journal... only one where people can read it and make comments and make fun of me?? Then I thought, "what would the mods say?" but then again I'm sure they'll let me know if this is a waste of my time and anyhow it couldn't possible be any worse than the 011010001001010001 thread and I have to find something to do during these long boring summer days I'm stuck in the lab. So here it goes.. I'll start by giving you my background so maybe to better understand my living arrangement.

I live in a small town in east TN call Livingston. I've lived here about 7 years. Now I will describe some of the people I live with so you will better understand who I talk about in my journal.

THE FAMILY
Mom - A.K.A. Momma, over religious and thinks the devil is out to get everyone, but she's still momma.

Dad - lives in PA, haven't seen him since I was 5 but he calls and talks to me and trys to help me out and always has some invention in the works to try to get rich quick.

Lorna - my little sister, very quiet, engaged to Grant the airforce guy and likes kitties.

Preston - my little brother, a little quiet punk still tryin to find himself like most 16 year olds that know everything.

Luke - my loser Cousin, he does drugs, he recently married a 17 year old year and lives in a trailer park up in the hills of Jackson Co. Plus he steals but being the good guy I am I try to help him out.

Nadine - Luke's mom, the one who deals the Jesus weed to my mom, believes her son can do no bad and that I am the devil.

Richard - Luke's Dad, doesn't really care as long as he has a computer to play with.

John Tha Cat - he's orange and he's my cat and he's the coolest and anyone who thinks otherwise is dumb.

THE ROOMATES and FRIENDS

Adam - Thinks he's a gangsta, sometimes a grouch, works 2 jobs, goes by jigga_man here at Techimo and is an all around ok guy.

Allen - A.K.A. King Allen, doesn't clean, doesn't really do much of anything because he's King Allen yet he has this goofy way of making everyone laugh at his perv jokes so he fits in.

Patrick - known here as SysRq, HAS BAD A.D.H.D so don't piss him off.. live across the street and picks up on computer software faster than anyone I know.

Matt - Patricks little brother, but he always tends to have nice cars and $$ so we like him.

Jon - My boss, he kinda like a friend but sometimes the way he acts and says stuff just wigs me out.

Cindy and Chuck - and older couple I hang with cause Cindy likes and builds computers so we trade alot of parts and Chuck owns an Electric repair shop and that always works out good for me.

Mark - loves to trade stuff.. doesn't matter what it is as long as it's cool looking stuff.

Shane - my EMT buddy, we used to be best of buds at the ole box plant until we realized we both need real jobs. We're still good friends only we work at different places.. he;s more or less one of the locals.

April - used to date my roomate Allen, but she's a goodie goodies but she's nice and she's my lab assistant.

Dennis - Adam's dirty not so old dad.

Harlin - Allen's dirty old dad.

THE GIRLFRIEND

Tara A.K.A. Princess Tara, I love her to death and we get along great as friends and lovers.. so I get the best of both worlds BUT she lives in Knoxville so I only really get to see her 3 days a week. I would tell you more but that would ruin the whole point of the journal.

Keep an eye on this first post for updates.

And so it starts.. as I will Begin with the first day in my journal

Journal Entry #1 June 5th 2002

Gotta call from dad today but I really don't feel like talking to him so I didn't answer. So far I gots Matt coming in to work for me from 3-5 so I can sneak to Knoxville for the night to surprise Tara when she gets off work the only thing is her ex-b/f who has tried to start problems between us in the past tends to keep popping up even after trying to to be civil about the previous situation trys to stick his nose in our business which is really starting to get on my nerves. He's popped up 3 time in 2 weeks, conveniently when I'm not there, to "Say Hi" or return this or that.. It's really starting to get on both or our nerves.. My hope is to maybe also catch him coming over so that maybe he can say "Hi" to me too .
But if not the whole purpose is to really surprise her anyway cause I miss her. Regardless I gotta collect the phone and cable bill from Adam and Allen and I'm sure both will take their sweet time payin up. In the meantime I've only got 4 more days until my Caddy gets outta the paint shop.. can't wait!.. but even then it goes straight to Phillips 66 to get a Carb put on her so I'll have enjoy the cheesey sound in the 87 Caddy until then.. man I can't stand not having decent tunes in a car.. especially when you are on the road by yourself for an hour and a half, I've noticed I smoke twice as much driving that car as oppsed to my other Caddy, not having anything to listen to while drive could eventually be the death of me. It's almost 2 and time to visit my old friends at the box plant down the road and smoke a cancer stick.

You should pitch the idea to MTV and only ask 1 or 2 million.

Journal Entry #2 June 6 2002

Well what can I say... showed up yesterday and surprised Tara as she's normally the one who shows up by surprise in Livingston and better yet no sign of the ex. We played a little tennis (not that I enjoy tennis but she likes to try to play tennis it's actually quite funny.) and then took a dip in the pool. Then afterwards discussed our moving situation over a Papa Johns BBQ Chicken pizza. Though during the conversation I was shocked to find that Tara's roomate Mahala had rung up a tab on her coming close to 1k.. this makes me mad... but she's a girl and Tara's roomates so I just cross my arms and let my nose hairs curl. After 2 hours of pointless MTV programing we decide to go back to her room.
(and I know what you're thinking, but I can assure you that the events that occurred after she shut her door consisted of nothing more that setting the alarm clock and heavy snooring.)

Woke up today only to rush out the door and journey back to L-Town fighting morning traffic on 640E listening to Mancow's Morning Radio show on 94.3 FM until my weak @$$ radio went fuzzy and I was forced to listen to the Eminem Show album until I reached work.. (honestly, I think I like Eminem, he makes me laugh.)

Work was very exciting, I got to sit down either inside in front of a computer or outside smoking a cigarette and get paid. Got my neato Slot A EPoX motherboard and Slot A 650MHz Athlon from Derek79602+. And as much as I hate to admit this it's the first time I've ever messed with a Slot A machine.. not that I'm a newb it's just when the Slot A's were all the rage I worked at Sonic, you know the Drive In fast food joint where all the carhop chicks make more $$$ than the managers, and well I was so happy that the price on a K6-2 was about $50 and 500MHz was blazin considering I was surfin with a P75 maxed out with 16megs of ram. Regardless it wouldn't boot, and I messed with it for 3 hours only to finally find out that the little switch thingy on the PSU might not need to be on the 220v.. :P

Ahhh... well after getting the machine up I needed to get a fan blowing on it, and well what do you do when you need proper airflow to the CPU? Break out the Dremel.... starting cutting away with my carbon blade and *tink* broke my last bit so I had to make a trip to Pamida (wannabe smalltown Wal-Mart) to pick up another.. along the way I run into my friend Shane.. he needs a new car CD Player.. why?.. cause his Kenwood isn't flashy enough.. SOOO... with nothing better to do I offer to ride with.. when we get the Electronics express 30 mins later of debating, looking at pretty displays, checkin features, pressing ALL kinds of neato buttons, and listen to the salesman pitch his opinion on why the $699 Pioneer is the "best your $$ can buy" he spent $535 on a car CD Player, it's nice, it's flashy, BUT it's still a CD player... well needless to say after 2 more hours of twisting wires and 3 blown fuses we decide maybe we should have opted to have the Electronic Express guys put this in for an extra $75..

Ahhh... but now I'm home.. just got off the phone with Tara who is eat up with Math homework and cleaned my nasty @$$ room.. and all I can think is... "wow I've had this office chair for almost 2 years and it's still as comfortable as the day I bought it."

excuse any typos I'm tired and smoking a ciggy... tommorrow is Friday!! back to Knoxville day!!
