Went to a Modesto As game. We beat Bakersfield 12-0 or something. Their pitcher was horrible, he walked 4 guys in a row. Then there was this lame contest where 4 couples in the audience were going to propose, and one couple would win a $3k engagement ring if the audience cheered the loudest for them. I thought it was terribly pathetic to have to win your wife-to-bes wedding ring at a minor league baseball game. Although the thought did cross my mind to grab some chick from the stands and propose just so after we won we could pawn the ring and split the cash. Then there was a nice display of fireworks to finish off the evening.
School is finally out for the summer. Now I should have some more time to spend on the site.
I got a new laptop
the eMachines M6805. Now I just got to save up for a better digital camera.

I had a #2 meal at McDonalds today. Feel free to comment in my journal if you have ever shared a similar experience....
Big drug bust at my school. The News10 truck was out front broadcasting live and everything.
"MODESTO (AP) -- School ended early Monday for 40 high school students in Modesto.
Teams of officers took 40 students into custody Monday morning in the culmination of a two-month undercover drug sting by the Modesto police.
The students allegedly sold or attempted to sell drugs to undercover narcotics officers. Two non-students were also arrested in the raid.
The arrests happened at Beyer, Davis, Downey, Johansen and Modesto high schools.
Assistant Superintendent Jim Pfaff says the schools district will seek to expel each of the students arrested for one year. Seniors arrested will not be allowed to graduate with their class."

Every first of April is a day where your every word and action will be questioned. Truths will always be doubted and lies become the expected. And you had better tread carefully as well, unless you wish to be made a fool.
A day rejoiced by zealous jokesters and recalcitrant pranksters, but is it all really in good fun? The humiliation inflicted upon a diffident person can be scarring for life. April 1st is a celebration of the cruelty inflicted by one human on another. Children and adults alike, jeer at one another, apathetic to the pain of their peers and coworkers. While some of the jokes are benign, others can leave people blinded, dismembered, or may even result in death. The old “bleach and ammonia mixture in your sister’s perfume bottle prank” results in deadly choleric gas. Initially it might seem humorous, but when the police start investigating your sister’s sudden demise it won’t seem so funny.
Not only that, but April Fools invokes a total lack of trust in everyone, for everyone. The fear of being the butt of a joke leaves people secluded and dubious. Take for instance, if your best friend, Ben, was crossing the street. The driver of an oncoming motor vehicle spills his Pepsi and his looking for napkins between the seats. You see the car isn’t slowing and your friend is in peril. You yell, “Look out Ben! There’s a car!” But of course Ben doesn’t believe you, “Yeah, yeah, good one! You really got me. April Fo- ”, at which point he is cut off by the car slamming into him, knocking his last breath out of him as his ribs are splintered and shank into his lungs. Perhaps the passenger of the car screams “OMFG, dude! You just ran over that kid! Stop the car!” But naturally as it is April 1st the driver replies, “I can’t believe you would even joke about something like that. You’re a sick man.”, and so your best friend, Ben, is dragged under the car for another 5 blocks before the driver arrives at the supermarket and finds the shredded corpse under his car. The facial features effaced by the mile and a half of pavement, the police have to retrace the trail of smeared tissues and bone shards collecting teeth to compare with Ben’s dental records.
As you can see, April Fools is simply no laughing matter. Now some would argue that April Fools is not at fault for the tragic scenario mentioned above. Perhaps we should sue the Pepsi Company for creating hazards products that can spill into our laps and distract our driving. But I believe it is clear if the situation had occurred on any day other than April Fools, the outcome would have been far less grim for your dear friend, Ben. And this is why I propose that we eliminate the first of April from the calendar. The 92nd day of the year will become March 32nd, and then will move right on into April 2nd. April Fools has got to go.

Wow, I’ve become addicted to Amazon.com. I went there once to get a Zeromancer album that BestBuy didn’t have and got sucked in with all their recommendations and lists and “users who bought this item also bought...” crap. All I wanted was one album and then it showed me all these other bands that I HAD to check out, and wouldn’t you know it, I end up buying $100 worth of stuff.
I’ll have to give myself up to prostitution if I’m going to support this addiction. Online shopping is a dangerous thing indeed.

Well, I just ate one of those survey cards that you get in some music albums. It tasted like one of those Chinese pancakes that you wrap your sweat & sour pork in.
...I know, I have such a thrilling journal.
