All work and no play...

I'd like to claim I was too busy to write, hence the reason it's been so long since the last update. That'd totally be a lie, though. The truth is, when you're utterly and completely bored out of your skull, it's hard to be motivated to do anything. My inactivity and boredom may have actually had me seem more like a slow growing moss than a human lately.

Apparently I haven't been without options though. Long story short, cell reception is horrible in my hometown, so I just leave my phone off when I'm at home. It doesn't matter either way. I checked my voicemail yesterday and apparently I had invites to hang out with people over the past few weeks. Just another case of Stokes county being a detriment to my social life. Nothing that I'm not used to, though. It's funny because I probably hate school more than anyone I know, but I'm looking forward to it starting just because it's not boring.

Um, quick ADD note: Comics are cool. Green Lantern is awesome. Most people, sadly, don't give them a fair shake. Whatever. Transformers 2, Yes Man, and Observe & Report are not cool, however. Rescue Dawn and Amistad are. I should be watching Apocalypse Now! tomorrow or so, nothing else to do. Kinda excited about it. Also uncool: Anything Souljah Boy. I was hoping he'd be a one hit wonder, leaving a stupid dance as his legacy...but no, apparently people are dumb enough to keep enjoying his "music." Vomit. Just...vomit.

The above "vomit" was inspired by this moron at the Dash [another vomit moment. I miss the Warthogs] game who used "Get My Swag On" or whatever as his batting theme. He went 0-4. How's this for a theme? "Gonna make an out.....turn my swag off" Joke hitter. Game was full of jokes, though. First pitch got tattooed by a guy with only 2 other homers on the season. Officially 3 errors were recognized, but the scorer was gracious. I saw at least 5. The best moment was when the RP hung an easy pitch for their big slugger with two outs. Watching a ball soar over 400 feet into the night sky is pretty awesome. Dash are a joke team, with a joke name and no stadium. Winston-Salem really screwed up on this one. I thought about calling them the Hyphens, to be correct...but due to their purple socks, and their poor play, I dubbed them the PuSox.

I think this is the first entry I've done that's as random as my thoughts usually are. I'm all over the place. Oh well, I'm gonna wrap it up and watch a movie or something. No way am I watching Apocalypse Now! tonight, though...but yeah, this week's been weird. Had a friend make plans and break them a day later...went to the ballgame with my dad for the first time in years. It really is cool to have parents like I do, though. Just when I think they're old or out of touch, my dad belted out "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" like a barber shop singer, with elaborate hand gestures. While I used to grimace at this, I find it hilarious now. He doesn't sound bad to be honest [I mean, his dad WAS a singer in a babershop quarter, I think...] and it's just like something out of the days when Rogers Hornsby and Stan Musial were playing. The best part was how a little kid in front of us, maybe 7 or 8 years old, just kept staring. Haha. It was really a classic moment that I'm finally old enough to appreciate. However, he also thought a ball went through the wall after I watched it sail 2 feet over...so much for not getting old!

So yeah, movie...gonna get on that. I'm house sitting for my aunt Ginger and uncle John while they're at my cousin Amy's wedding. [I couldn't make it...to be fair, it wasn't a cheap trip...] So my brother and I are housesitting and watching four dogs. They've kinda split up and two are buddying around with him, the other two are following me everywhere. Jaime, if you read this, your two are easily the least trouble and totally follow me EVERYWHERE, haha. Abby's practically glued to my ankle. If I get up to use the bathroom or get some water, she comes looking for me. Oh, and another perk of house sitting? Big...BIG TV set. I've watched like 3 movies on it so far. Now I know what size I want for my dorm.

Okay, for real this time, I'm out. Amidst touchy friends and getting plans canned...it's been a decent week, less boring than usual. Maybe I'll actually update this more often...
