Positives

1. Got the financeez worked out today.  Thank you, Mom.  Don’t look for Cholde to be washing dishes at Moooo-gollies on Saturdeez anytime soon (I welcome a correct spelling comment, Dev).

2. Got the certification route charted.  Cholde’s eyeing two “Praxis Deaughx” azams in one day come March.  Another in April.

3. G had the idea about not linking comments to this tumblr.  That is a must.

4. There are a lot of girls in my life that have been needing it for a long time.  Many of them have cut ties with me for one reason or another, but there are a few still hanging around.  Go time.

Negatives

1.  My Praxis tests start at 7:30am.  Both times.  That’s a fuck.  They take place at UALR and I’m assuming I need to be there early.  Whoa.

2.  I feel like G’s idea will be the end of this tumblr recieving comments.  But that would be better than a larger audience.

The Day

Positives

1. Spent pretty much all day hanging with Casey Walker in Searcy.  It’s really weird that we’re such good friends because we’re so different.  But it was really good.  Plus I saw several other Searcy youth people that I really like.

2. No class.

3. I’ve got outs on the “bad decision” front.  Rethinking it though.  Cholde’s old “bit” bit.  My motivation for achievement went down the drain with the $120 worth of fun I bought at Wig’s.  Plus, due to the fact that I have $44 to last me until February 1st, if I did want to make bad decisions it would sound like this:

Hornio Chlote: “uh huh huh huh… Hey, baby… uuuhh, wanna do it?”

It would be good to be a hot chick at times like these.  Then it would go:

Boobies Chlote: “Hey, _____… If you buy me lots of shit I’ll fuck the shit out of you.”

I hate females.

Negatives

1. Gambling.  My gad, Nick.  I must stop.  (Normally, I would insert a “or get it back???” here, but I don’t see the humor in it tonight.)

The Day

Positives

1. I killed the academics today. All the way around.  Pre-class studying/homework, two classes, reading of the textbook, night class.  Just got it.  In addition, mom and I talked certification some more.  Even got in on planning my St. James stuff for the week.  Big day.

2. Free coffee from Crazy Claire.  She works at Starbucks, but she’s actually crazy.

3. Had a good time with Celia tonight.  We did it up Barrett Baber at Sticky Fingerz along with Bear, Audra, and Wig.

Negatives

1. Second day in a row that Corbett hasn’t done the text or call.  Something is amixt.

2. Just as I’ve gotten into a groove about wanting to go to Spanish, some new bitch decides to set up shop in my seat.  Spanish is an everyday fuck due to the “wid yor pardner, clase” factor and finding an acceptable partner is a must.  I had found that partner in Lacy Lewis, but it was taken away today because I only got to class two minutes early instead of ten.  Not to mention the fact that I was demoted to a third-row view of my fine profesora.

3. Went to Bev’s to check on shit tonight.  The hot-tub is still broken from the other night.  A good at bat.  Everything else looked alright.  On my way out of the front door I decided to check the living room to see if anything was out of place.  I turn on the light.  Everything’s good.  I turn off the light.  Denied.  The fucker wouldn’t go out.  I looked everywhere for another switch, but it was not to be fount.  Finally, Celia and I unscrewed the six bulbs and got the fuck out of there before any other venture went haywire.

Dayo

Positives

1. Caught the Obama inauguration at Osage w/Wig this morning.  Some pretty neat moments.

2. Mom did some good research on the Chlope “teacher certification” front.  I’m pretty sure we’re going to go Teach Arkansas at it.  2-year probationary period, but I cash that paycheck.  Now I just have to get hired… the big half of the battle.

3. My tuesday night class got out at 7:25 (instead of 8:40).  Schwing!

4. From now on Tuesday means Chlope is eating at Moe’s.  “Buy one, get one free” tacos.  After tax it’s $2.99.  I’ll be at every game.

5. It appears my time at St. James is coming to a close.  What started in May as a temporary summer gig turned into just a temporary gig until I graduated or they found a permanent hire.  Now they’ve found that long-term hire for multiple services and Cholde’s out on his ass.  The chick that they’re hiring is quite attracteeve and goes large knockers at it to boot.  She’ll be tagging along with Cholde for a two-week transition period.  My time.  I’m currently looking to make bad decisions so I might as well start with her.

6. Got in on a late dinner/cake via Audra.

Negatives

1. Audra says the ankle is sprained… or maybe strained.  I can’t remember which it is.  And that’s another reason this is a negative.  I made a fucking %103 in my Care and Prevention of Injuries class last semester and don’t know this.  Good class.  Real tough.

2. Cholde’s out on his ass.  Gonna have to recover the St. James income somewhere.  hmmm… aw, aw,     awoooooooo!!!!!!!!!  Takers?

3. Other shit.  I need to make bad decisions.  Cholde gonna do a little prowlin’ come tomorrow.

The Day

Positives

1. Did some homework today.  Spent two hours that I won’t have to do tomorrow.

2. Had a good time last night at the Darwin house.

3. Argenta #2 won in overtime.  Chlope sealed the deal with the final free-throw.  Later, in the Argenta #1 game, Wiggly got technicaled in the first half and was automatically ejected from the game.  Classic.  Later in the same game, a double-T was called ejecting Doug Wood and a player from Brockington Rd.

4. Mom is helping to figure out my teaching certification situation.  Big help.

5.  Picked up a guitar gig, probably a paying event.  May 16th, Elliott and Stephanie’s wedding which Wig is preaching.

Negatives

1. Turned my ankle tonight.  It’s going to be stiff manana.

2. Homework is going to be a constant donk this semester.  Fuck that dude.

3. I let myself fuck up by not tumbling the past two days.  I’ll do my best to not let it become a habit.

The Day

Positives

1. One class today.  My schedule is kick-ass.  My first class on MWF is at noon; T is at 6pm; no class on R.  The online debacle is a bad one though.

2. Good trip to Starbucks today.  “pursuing the slim” style.

3. On a seperate trip to Starbucks I ran into one of Tara’s old coworkers who was in dire need of le sprout.  I could tell she recognized me, but we don’t really know each other so it was kind of awkward.  I just hit her with it.  Called her by name, reminded her of things we talked about months ago, etc.  It was good.  The dude she was with wasn’t the biggest fan (think His Dirtiness, Drel), but all-in-all it was a success.

4. Mid-#3 I get a call from Wig telling me that the crew was doing Hamlet 2 at Osage.  Funny, funny movie.

5. The Mayflire football banquet is tomorrow night.  I’m looking forward to it.  Wig and G, I need to come up with a suit sometime tomorrow morning.  I need the help, please.

6. I was driving home from school and passed a semi from company “Dugan”.  I appreciated it.

Negatives

1. Didn’t work-out today.  Hoping it will pay dividends tomorrow a la Dev.

2. I have to wake-up at 6:20.  Doogan.

Positives

1. No class today.

2. No class today, but I spent some time in the library working on school stuff.  A new one.

3. There’s a chick in her mid-thirties that comes to Starbucks a lot and always talks to me.  She’s married, but she’s also kind of hot (weird way style) and I’m pretty sure she’s been flirting with me.  Today, I was reading and she touched the inside of the leg and then plopped down beside me to talk.  Hot or not, I definitely don’t need to get my ass kicked/feel guilty for ripping a marriage apart.  Cholde’s out.  Yep, Cholde’s out… Unless she just flat laid it on the table.  Then, I have to admit, there might be a “re-evaluate” situation.  But only because her old-ass husband (who comes with her sometimes) is a fucking dick who might just need a lesson taught to him.

4. Audra, in fact, did not get mugged tonight.

5. Went gym at it. Stopped by Starbucks on the way home to collect $5 from The Wiggler in a little gin.

Negatives

1. Didn’t go to Larry’s Pizza for dinner.  Ate at home to save money.  Then I spent $25 at Wig’s Gamblin’ Hall.

2. Got asked by Schick to fill in for the guitarist at the 8:30 service this week.  Said yes.

3. It was cold as fuck walking across campus today.  I considered running a couple of times, but my vanity wouldn’t allow it.  My only comfort was that, unlike in 5th grade, I was pretty sure that there was no chance of Rocky Holland sneaking up behind me and thumping my ear.  I can’t tell you how many times I gave or received an ear thump, red-neck, etc. on a cold day while in elementary school.  What an awful/mean idea.

Positives

1. Audra bought me biscuits and gravy.  Huge.  Thank you, ma’am.

2. My Spanish teacher just might end up with a Cholde between her sheets if she plays her cards right.  Seriously, I’m considering perfect attendance (“I’ll be at every game” style).

3. Starting Friday I am housesitting for the Darwins.  In response to Bone’s post about fear of murder, I’m going to go out on a limb and say “housesitting for the Darwins” would be in either the “negative” or “wouldn’t ever happen” section of his tumblr.  (Bone, this is the big-ass house that Bano stayed in when we recorded at TM.)

4. Day 3 of exercise.  A few more days and it’ll be routine.  Not there yet though.

5. Discovered Special K w/strawberries.  Very, very good and maybe good for you (Zig style)?

6. Megan is the initiator of hanging up when we talk.  Unheard of in my experience.

Negatives

1. Spent $83 at the grocery store.  I’m usually around the low $40s.  I feel like the fucker put the ol’ double charge on me a few times while I was fiddling with the card-swiper.  After I got home, I had a brief scare due to the leaky milk.  Turned out to be a false alarm though.

2. My Wednesday night class is going to be, “how you say… borink.”  Fuck.  Boring, and the full 2:40.  Should be an “A” though.  And if Cholde skips ‘eem a few meetins and lets the ol’ grade slip down to a “C”… fuck it.

The Day

Positives

1. The tumblr is back.  Back in full force, with no more bullshit concerning how much I spend on food.

2. My Tuesday night class is going to be a, “how you say… breese?”.  It’s scheduled to go from 6-8:40.  Tonight the teach tells us that she has a family and wants to see them, so the latest we’ll ever leave will be 8, usually leaving around 7:20.  Plus, no lecture on our three exam nights.

3. Hung out with Celia today.  Kind of weird, but good.  Only weird because it’s been like two years since we’ve seen each other.  Still had fun though.

4. Got in on Nana’s good chicken-n-rice and cornbread muffins for lunch today.  Almonds were present, but I think I made my point by leaving a pile of them on my plate by the sink.  Almonds or not, it was probably the best serving I’ve ever had.

5. When G declined NBA Live action I packed my shit and hit up 10-Fitness.  First time since the BPC.  I was equally inspired by my shit-awful basketballing last night (which was due in large part to my being out of shape) and by Bone.  That boot-camp sounds like a dooz-six situation.  Good luck, Bone.  I’ll be watching.

6. I’ve been social Chlope lately.  Not sure how long this is going to last, but it’s been kind of good.

Negatives

1. Was pretty excited about my Tuesday since I didn’t have class until 6pm.  Got the wake-up call from one Wigglione at roughly tone-o’clock saying that Mom needed someone to take her some pain meds… eyemeedgitly.   I had a case of the old ill-will with only the “situation” to direct it at.  Ended up being a pretty good trip, plus mom gave me gas money, but I couldn’t really put this in the positives.  Especially when Mom, who has an appointment at 8:45 at UAMS in the morning, hit Nana and I with “Mom, there’s no need for you to take me to Little Rock in the morning.  John Choate can do that.  You need to be there for Walt’s restaurant opening.”  It was weird because Nana and I both know that I’m sweating it out, hoping Nana nips that idea in the fucking bud, but also that I can’t just say “Uhhhh… fuck me, that sounds like an awful plan.”  Nana tries to nip.  Connie, never hearing a word of it, ends up getting her way.  Shazz.  Chlope’ll be leaving Starbucks at 7:10am if anyone wants to ride with.

2. Went Schick at it for a 2-hour St. James today.  Not that bad, but once again, I can’t put this in the positives.  Maybe I should fire up a Mediocrateez.  Probably won’t though.
