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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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,...

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,...

Good week. Saved nearly $5 a day for all 7 days. Goal is just to save on weekdays (or $25 per week). In lieu of the extra overdraft charges, it’s good to be ahead of schedule.

Har-tow
Went to the bank a few minutes ago. Thinking I was down $452, I made a deposit of $550. I then asked for a printed statement (I don’t do online banking due to complications. I also have a desktop computer. Fuck you.). After the deposit, I had a balance of -$16.75. Dammit! Can’t get over the hump. In the parking lot I tallied up the hurt. From ugly to worse. It appears the St....

Level 1: Debacle
Went to get my checking account balance yesterday. I was thinking I had somewhere between $50 and -$50, due to the 30-bone overdraw fee. Wrong-uh. The money-machine told me that I was, in fact, $452 in the hole. The old take Cholde for all he’s worth bit. I’ve seen it a million times. So I go into the bank.

1.Ramen noodles taste really good and are somewhat filling. Nice.
2. Rediscovered Frank Hendrix via MySpace. We used to play music together at First Baptist when I was in Jonesboro. Good guy, good music. Two of the songs, anyway.

1. Good first day for Coach Choate. I do purple visor. Practicing under the lights got my shit hot. I was jealous of the wide recievers when they were shagging deep balls. I was not jealous when they were running 50-yard sprints at the end of practice with the “extra 4 sprints if the kicker misses the extra-point” clause.
2. Friday’s practice is from 4-7 instead...
Retreat Style
Positives
1. Good time at Mt. Eagle. Jed does it up right, except for the occasional “put God first” in his public address. Good event though.
2. I’ve got football practice from 5:15-9:15 every night this week and band practice on Saturday afternoon. Actually that sounds like a negative, but my mornings and afternoons are wide open. That’s the positive.

1. Free lunch at Wig’s followed by Ramen noodles at dinner. Cheap day. Did drop $4 at Starbucks though.

1. Done with Spanish 2. Seriously close to an A. Yesterday I thought I was seriously close to a C. My time.
2. I’ve got my shit together. Bigtime.

1. G’s been doing it to me in Live. Frustrating. My voice is “iffy” for tonight’s band practice due to the yelling.
2. I have another retreat coming up tomorrow. Debatable.
Catch-up business
I’ve been away for some time now. A brief run-down of my recent doings…
1. Lost a grand. Actually, a more accurate number would be $1150. Made $40 back via Wig in a little gin though. Hardly a drop in the bucket.
2. The following day I removed the word “interim” from my title at St. James. I’m in for the long-haul, boys.
3. I am now a volunteer assistant...

1. The pot of my life lives to see another day. Eyeing a Wednesday night return to action.

1. Didn’t have to check on Audra’s curling iron. Knowing I had two hours before Wig was able to gamble (unaware that there were two extra blank hours in front of me) I decided to head over to the Chenal area. Audra and Wig had a wedding shower to attend at 7:00. At 6:50 Audra calls and asks me to go to her house and unplug her curling iron. I had just pulled onto...

1. No Spanish today. Actually I did about an hour of homework, but that’s a positive as well.
2. New “hot-girl” at Starbucks. Barista style. Chlope might need to show her his rope.
3. Cleaned my room, shaved, laundryed, vacuumed, and homeworked today.
4. Godspell was good. So were a couple of the Godspell girls. I do short hair. I really do short hair when...

1. 100% on the spanish oral exam. More of that. I’ve secured at least a 20 for my final grade.
2. Got a new phone. Not happy that I had to fork over 108 bones to get it. Should’ve been on better terms with Paladino.
3. Scared Bone today by being in his bedroom when he woke up.
4. Took Bone’s shit in a little blackjack. Also, I took in a healthy dose of cake.

1. Updated the Big Board.
2. Decided to man-up and commit to 4 extra weeks of St. James. That’s a month’s rent and utilities, plus a future hundo for Barrett.
3. $210 hand of blackjack with G going my way was humongo, especially after I had to draw from 13. Made up for a night of blatant rape from the gambling gods.

1. Caught up on my sleep. Maybe this will lead to a more socially accepted schedule.
2. Spent an hour on some looming Spanish homework. Kind of a negative, but that just means that my future holds an extra hour of free time.
