earlier this evening I posted a very sincere blog telling you about my life... now I'm going to replay the song plastic jesus according to paul newman in cool hand luke and transcribe it.


I don't care if it rain's or freezes.

sitting on the dashboard of my car

comes in colors pink and pleasant
glows in the dark because int's irredescent.

take it with you when you travel far.

get yourself a sweet modanna

dressed in rhinestones sittin
onna
pedestal
of abolone shell

goin 90 I ain't scary
cause I got the virgin mary

assurin me that I won't go to hell.

Get yourself a..
Chorus


Goin 90 etc.

Good stuff..

Cool hand luke sings this when his momma dies..

Good song good mvie.

It was a good birthday. I didn't have party. I just had some friends over to my parents place to play a super lame party rpg and totatlly geek out... A good friend of mine has described dokapon kingdom for the wii as a more random version of monopoly. Well it's an rpg and yo ucan watch numbers change and with good friends and cheap beer it is great fun...

grad school is going well. I still am not doing as much as I should... I am getting straight a's now...

That's awesome.

Have my first mid term... I'm hoping that grad school will give me a fancy business job...

I talked with a friend about charles bukowski. recently..

It's always weird hearing about other people that like him...

I read about transgressive literature and heard that chuck was part of it according to wikipedia...

True...

Fair..

But who doesn't love drinking women and gambling...? What's transgressive about that?

It might be all the other parts and all the things involved...

Cheers folks..

Be well,
JDF

It's my birthday Sunday. I was gonna start the 5 day drunken celebration today... And did start drinking earlier bet then really great deep dish pizza showed up. So I ate too much of that. And am not interested in drinking more right now. So lets drink some water and watch some t.v. It's not even my birthday yet. And while I have some work to do finding work and doing homework. I only have grad school classes on tues wed and thurs.... So... as far as I can tell It's a 5 or so day birthday extravaganza. Cause that's how I roll.

I haven't been on as much cause I've been being responsiblish more often.

Hope everyone is having a blast.

Howdy folks. I'm having a scotch and watching the episodes of dollhouse I missed. Shame it's gone the way of the dodo. It was a clever show...

I watched a friends movie today. As I was watching it, I thought to myself "This is pretty good, reminds me of Phillip K. Dick." Later there was a reference to vonnegut. Sigh. I was close. And I think maybe I was right.

I've been well behaved since just before thanksgiving. I have to take a test next tuesday.

(On the subject of dollhouse.... One of the characters is wearing a flannel suit... That seems oddly awesome.)

My kid brother got too drunk at my grandmas. It was the day after thanksgiving. He drank enough to be okay and then after everyone left was a little rude when grandma was telling us it was time for bed. I went to bed when grandma told me too. I'm no dummy. Not worth the risk.

Anyway. He went for a walk instead of going to bed. And in the mean time my dad got him way to drunk.

He was a pain in the ass when he came down to the basement where we were sleeping.

Still I can understand why my dad got him drunk. Grins. I've been trying to for ages. And my dad loves getting drunk with me. He saw his shot and took it grandma and who he was sleeping with be damned.

Kid moved out from home won't get many chances...

Anyway. I sat next to a good friend of mine during the movie. She sat next to her ex... Who I know well... They are moving out of an apartment they share together... It's crazy... Seemed pretty awkward.

Great movie though.

Hope you all are doing well.

Have a nice day,
JDF

P.S. I wasn't watching 30 rock when I wrote this... So I didn't once again drunkenly say that Tina Fey is hot.

Just the right drunk for a new post. I had a busy week. Road trip with my brother... My dad inherited/bought a boat from his dad/uncle. It was left in our yard and someone came in cut the wires and stole it. So my dad bought a motor from minnesotta... And then couldn't go pick it up. Which meant a road trip for me and my brother from Chicago to two harbors. Delay. I hate my brother's dog sometimes. My father spoiled the fuck out of him.

It was a good trip. I'm catching up on my t.v. But because my dad always wanted to driver around lake superior we got some money and permission to use me mum's card for the trip.

Spoiler alert.... Canada does not take discover....

Bonus... My mom gave us some money...

Double bonus... I hit my dad up for money too because vicarious thrills are worth 300 buckeroos.

Why did my delinquent brother not think of this.

We ended up spending most of it... and for some reason my brother made me keep the extra 60. Which was great cause I'm broke. And bad cause he's not leeching of my parents... but maybe that makes sense.....

I dunno...

It was a great rip we ate great food on the cash till it was card free and nothing existed in cananda.... As far as I'm concerned... The easiest most pleasant trip on superior is up from duluth to thunder bay.

I'm sure you were concerned... After that...

Best part was Gloria's Motel and Restaurant...

Jim... my brother talks with people easier... But I know the difference between crown royal and jack Daniels...

Jim got advice on how to speed in canada... I got credit because.. well... I knew to order a double in the first place when we started 30 before closing and fifteen when he brought crown and jack... and said "I think I might have mixed them up..." (He didn't of course...) Jim said I can't tell the differnce... I said I'm pretty sure their right... Mine was sweet and awesome... I love my kid brother and he's done alot I haven't... But he is not a whiskey connoisseur.

All in all it was a good trip.

Then this weekend was my best friends party. I drank my ass off... As everyone did... But after I lost the game of charades.. (Our game of charades is more intense than your game of charades unless the defenestration of prague was ever a clue... or corrugated. [my go to clue])

There were a bunch of people in the room and I went outside to bother an old friend I had a crush on's boy friend...

Cause... he seemed lonely...

Then he let me explain the crisis on infite earths identy crisis and infinite crisis too him. or at least far enough to explain my favroite joker seen where <Un tagged spoilers....?>

BLaeiaoudlfahsflkasjdflkahsdlfi8ea


Alexander luthor is killed by the joker.. it was awesome...

I also explained the speed force...

So enough about comics..

Then I got into a debate about theology... and because I feel like believing in god cause... Well hell seems like it sucks and I got sucked into being very concerned about a religous person belived.

I'm serious...

He's a good guy.. .best guy I know... Best friend of my best friend maybe... oldest anyway... and the nicest guy anyone can know...

I don't know I blacked out after he left...

It was funny last thing me and my firend remember.. is he was sitting on the couch with two girls on his lap and a guy on the other end..

I woke up on the couch... all mine with my glasses in the couch...

Good times...

Also... for those that know what a geek I am... i'm 5-1 in my magic league... one match a week behind...

Good times.

Be well folks..

Out of town for a while. My dad bought a motor in Minnesota. We live in chicago. My brother and I are going on a road trip

Howdy folks. My kind brothers in town this weekend. Which is fun. I went and picked him up from Milwaukee and drove back here with him and his girl. I've met her before but I don't know her super well. I inflicted games of twenty questions on them. At some point my brother and I were fairly crude. But not too crude. Just fun. It was like a verbal version of gay chicken but mostly so that we can have the excuse to say no weird shit. Which we continued to say for the rest of the evening. It started with him saying If you get a real job I can move into your apartment and you can be my sugar daddy. But no weird shit. Something about a gay incestuous sugar daddy followed up with hey That's some weird shit. And ended up with fine I can be the sugar daddy and we'll just go be gay with other people. Neither of us were gay. But my brother's girls reaction to this conversation was priceless. She commented that this was perhaps the most wrong conversation she ever heard to brothers have. Mostly it was hilarious.

This was yesterday. Also I got into Grad School! Hah! I'm a student again! I'm a Grad student. Yeah I'm okay saying that even though I haven't replied or signed up for any classes yet. It's better than being unemployed and living with my parents. That's not what I am. I'm a Grad Student. Boo ya!

Couldn't find a decent job. But with good grades... and a Masters in Computational Finance hopefully that will change. So in two or so years I might be a contributing member of society for the first time... Or maybe things will go really well and I'll get good financial aid and go from a masters to a doctoral program and become a professor and never have to be a contributing member of society for the rest of my life. Not likely but a man can dream.

Have a nice day folks. Sorry for botherin all' y'all.

Is scott ian's food coma still posting.... I like it...

I miss all of the good news dealies... What happened?

Oh well. I didn't get the job I interviewed for... but any moment now I'll here if I made it into grad school. Would that be great? The scholastic lifestyle for me?


Except this time I'd need to get straight A's That would be cool though. I could use recommendations and everything. I really hope I get accepted. That would be awesome.

Wish me luck if your the sort to wish me luck.

I'm a bit drunk. Because the upside of living with my folks is there is booze around and easy money... The downside... is I'm living with my dad.... So I can drink... and I am.

Cheers.

You guys are great.

Sorry for bothering you... I'll go bother you in real time now...

Be well.

So I'm drinking.

But hey! It's a friday!

I'm watching the first season of 30 rock.

I applied to grad school last week. that would be cool.

I had a job interview just Wednesday. That would be a sick job. I would love it. I don't expect to be called back.

Seriously... Nothing makes me more nervous than being interviewed by the president of a company for a job I'm not qualified for.

So life is good. I hope I get a job... and if not I go to grad school.

But a job would be nice.

I've posted blogs (typo-ed bogs which is not inappropriate.) frequently and fairly vapidly. I passed my first actuarial exam today. Would have been better if I knew this would be important and did this in college. But I'm happy to have passed by a fluke when I didn't study enough. This blog will be long... feel free not to read it. if you are not interested in my life or my ponderings.

So I passed my test and I'm drinkin some jameson. I had some the day before I took the test even though I shouldn't have. But I passed so fuck it!

I have been working on a play list.... I want to make a driving cd. to bring on road trips.

It's tough... Here's what I have so far.


Convoy
One piece at a time

(The C.B. interlude contingent.)

King of the road

(A personal favorite... maybe shouldn't be there but fuck 'em.)

Low rider

Radar love

Life in the fast lane

and little deuce coup

That's what I have so far... I'm considering things such as I'm your vehicle baby... I think the crew will appreciate it.

The real question is whether or not to include the coda which implies that we will die on the road....

Leader of the pack

Deadman's curve

Last kiss

And Tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel.

I can't decide...

I'll ask the gang I typically travel with.

Now onto what maybe the interesting part of the "Blog" as it is called."

Wait pause... first of all...

"yeah! here, RED RYDER
This is the COTTON MOUTH
In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on"

Fucking awesome..

Perhaps some personal shit... I was sitting outside smoking a lucky and heard a laugh.... Thought it was the next door neighbor .... It was the neighbor across the way.

Neighbor girls... It's the american way. Brought back memories. Had a crush on the girl the next door same as age me.


Learned later she played doctor with my kid brother...

Girl across the street who was laughing probably the younger sister. The old sister said I was cute when I was little. Real little I don't know how old. Probably old enough to know better.


Or I should have been. I was flustered and and wanted her to stop "Picking" on me. Said she wasn't cute... never had that problem again... Wonder what my life would have been like if I didn't say that? Would I have been as awkward?

Kind of like I wonder what my life would have been like if my parents skipped me a grade.... Apparently I could have skipped a grade.

Obviously I wouldn't have been good at sports but I never tried at sports anyway. When I was young I was good at sports cause I grew big young. I was tall. And being one of the two tallest people and good at being tall is all you need for basketball to be a third pick latest....

Highschool.


I met most of my old friends at highschool.

I don't have any from gradeschool that high school or college didn't help.

What would have happened if I chose the other highschool.

I could have started out as a sophmore and gone to boarding school?

What would have happened?


I dunno.

I graduated from fancy college but with no recommendations and don't have a job... And am passing tests to give me accreditations. So.... Fuck it.

Cheers.

We will ignore what might have happened if I didn't break up with my only real girlfriend for this current version of my what if life...


Have a nice day folks...


Sorry for being...

Well...

Just plain odd.
