"An Action Packed Monday… excluding the exploding helicopters" | Jun 25 07

Categorized in Family/Friends, Righteous.

I usually don’t blog this often at all, so for those worried about my blogging habits, DO NOT FEAR, my life is not this action-packed. Really. I just so happened to have a lot of events going on in a short period and what to do other than blog. Oh yes, the wonders of Wordpress (press the link for the BEST blogging software =) an opinionated statement if I do say so myself).

Today, I had absolutely no sleep due to the Internet and biked to my friend’s house at 11:00 AM, swerving through reckless cars and dodging swift pedestrians (I like to exaggerate. Makes sound so “dangerous” :D). Arriving at the front door, I was greeted to the sight of a ping pong table, a pool table, nice carpeting, and a bunch of little brothers and sisters (friendly little kids they were) inside the house. We then headed upstairs and came upon a series of fortunate events: a pillow fight, air hockey, game of pool, Myspace-ing, a game of “tiny” basketball, and fooling around with his MANY little brothers and sisters . And that’s just the BEGINNING.

Moving on, we drove to the movies in their convenient SUV-like vehicle that holds NINE PEOPLE, and 10 if you like riding in the trunk, to the movies in a near by casino. We watched Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer. It wasn’t a bad movie; yet it wasn’t the best. Ahh, I hate mediocre media. During the movie, we fooled around with the phrases said in the movie as well as have popcorn thrown in each others faces. I actually dunked a bag of popcorn on my friends. I got a good punch afterwards =)

Next, we entered the glorious ARCADE. We met this kid who could solve a Rubik’s cube so fast, it was scary with all those twists and turns with the cube. His FASTEST time was 23 seconds.It’s ASTOUNDING, yet still freaky, that a person can do that altogether :D I worship cool people like that.

Back at the house, we encountered a game of POKER. That’s right 13, 14-year old kids playing POKER. Is it really illegal for kids to do that? We played with real chips, just without the money. I had no clue how to play, and even then, when I knew the tactics and strategies of the game, I SUCKED. I would’ve said “done poorly,” but in this case, I really SUCKED. After quitting the game and letting my friend’s younger sister take over (she did better than me :P), I agreed to get a haircut by his talented Aunt who could whip up a nice looking do (do in the sense of a snazzy haircut) in a flash, and, it was altogether FREE. How could I pass up the opportunity of shorter hair and an UNBELIEVABLE bargain?

After much snipping and looks from my friends as they WATCHED her attempt with razors at my thick hair, my hair had come to be. I… am PROUDLY TO ANNOUNCE… that you are reading the blog of an owner of a FOHAWK thank you very much =) (WHOA! I clicked the link… lots of variations.. ) Haha, what surprises me even more was that my mother didn’t MIND it, heck, she LIKED IT (I can’t say loved, because she didn’t start crying at the utter beauty of my short head). I like this haircut. I indeed do. It’s something I’ve never done before. It’s summer right? GO FOR IT =)

I would go on and begin discussing about how I managed to barely escape the wrath of a bomb-implanted helicopter, but you know, I think that’s enough for the day =)

P.S. This was a righteous day
P.P.S. I’ve added a gallery of photographs from my Washington D.C. Close Up Trip from May 18th - May 25th (LONGGGGGG ago, I know) =)

    Seriously, what IS(!?!) Cutenews? Wordpress is the king, queen, and the little joker guys.
    One time I played poker.
    Then I didn’t play it anymore.
    Mediocre media should be shot down with rifles and then beaten up with sticks and then tickled till they pee in their pants.
    And FOHAWK AUSTIN! How amazing. If I were a guy, I’d totally get a fohawk and we could be twinsies.
    Sure was a fun day. Too bad you didn’t share any with me.
    Summer is crap.

    Wow. It sounds like you had an interesting day. :P I didn’t think the new Fantastic movie was very good. Well, the effects were cool and all, but I didn’t think it was better then the original movie. Most sequels aren’t as good as the original, unless you count Harry Potter. A fohawk..I’m in shock. YOU SEEMED SO INNOCENT. Just kidding. ;)

    *sigh* your life… is so much better than mine. with exaggeration i still say you’d beat me, but of course sleeping can only go so far. i’ve yet to see fantastic four. i saw the first one but with those dumb retarded jokes i haven’t gone to see the second one.

    the cube, yeah there’s a special set of ways you have to turn it and it will all fall into place. my math teacher is a PRO. i tried to stare at a commercial and try and figure it out, but i failed. and poker, don’t get me started. congrats on your fohawk. i imagine it like mr. t, but idk. i’m done =]

    AUSTINN! Man, you blog fast. And sorry! I’ll blog ASAP. I’ve been kinda busy these days. When I go online now, I usually open up my AIM & start chatting, checking my email, then commenting on people’s sites. Like what I’m doing right now =] I’ll update soon.

    LOL. I comment while I read people’s blogs…so I didn’t read your blog entry yet before typing up that paragraph up there, and guess what? You’re writing about how fast you blog too! HAHA. What a coinky doink

    Wordpress is the blogging platform god. Hehe. I hope you don’t look scary with your fohawk. People with mohawks tend to intimidate me with the way they look. Haha

    I wish I had a life like yours… mine is routinely Uni - home. I’m not much of a stroller. Hehe

    Wow, it sounds like you had a ton of fun. Although, I can’t say I agree too much about throwing popcorn in the movie theater and chatting while it was on. Unless of course it was just your friends and you in which case that’s perfectly fine. I love how you exaggerated your bike ride. That’s just really funny to me. And I cannot believe you got a yourself a fohawk. That is insane! I don’t think I’d ever do taht to my hair, but kudos to you. Anyway, enjoy the rest of your summer… it sounds like you’re already there! :D

    Hey, a new site. Sorry it’s taken so long for me to return comments. I’m still loving the way you write…so you aren’t going to be able to get rid of me. :P
    Anyways…sounds like you had an awesome day. And your mom didn’t mind the hair cut. That’s always a plus…you don’t have to hear her moan and groan for weeks afterwords this way. :)
    Now…I want to hear about this helicopter. :P

    i think he can beat that kid of yours. come on… a math wiz! and on that link… i did check out when i was reading your entry, but only seen a “frohawk” so i’d thought that was what you’re sporting, but idk. i see no “fohawk” that’s why i mentioned mr. t =P

    i’ll blog on sunday… hopefully i’ll have my computer back and can get out of this gay back-up one that i have. graduation + warped tour stuff coming soon.

    hmm i wonder if 2 “patty”’s on your “plugs” will appear….

    Thank you for the comment you left on my website.
    I didn’t really like fantastic four :(
    When I was at highschool this kid I knew solved a Rubik’s Cube really fast too :| It’s freaky my record, I think, is like 1 month. LMAO!
    And don’t worry you’re not the only one who sucks at playing poker :|.
    Congrats on the FREE haircut too :D

    Your day sounds more exciting then my week. I liked Fantastic Four as well, although, as you said, it wasn’t the best. Your friends sounds like lots of fun. And you played poker? Lucky. I love that game. I just need people to play with. :)

    I love blogging, even if I don’t that often. It’s … friendly? Oh wow, I don’t know. I can’t use WordPress! I don’t understand how to make themes for it, the coding is too much for my brain to comprehend.

    HAHA, ’swift’ pedestrians. I’m very paranoid when it comes to crossing the road and all, bike or no. That person sounds like they have a REALLY nice house. Holy. It’s always good when you can tolerate little kids. Sometimes they can be quite the annoying bunch.

    Are these people rich?! Anyways, I was going to see Rise of the Silver Surfer with some friends last Friday but we couldn’t get a ride and we didn’t feel like biking there. I don’t want to see it though, I mean I’d go with friends for the sake of seeing it with your friends, but other than that…well I wasn’t expecting anything great from it. Whenever I go to a movie and come out thinking ‘Wow, that was awesome…’ I feel a new hope for the media industry (which is headed down the tubes).

    Woah. 23 SECONDS?! That’s amazing. I don’t try things like Rubic Cubes. I’m smart if I do say so myself, but things like that make my brain want to explode. I play poker (er, well used to) with some of my friends from school. We don’t play with chips or money though, just short rounds for fun. I love it.

    Wow, a free haircut? That’s amazing…and short is always better. I wear my long-ish hair in a pony tail because it would be wayyy too hot to wear it down in weather like this! But at least your mom didn’t mind it, and as long as you love it, that’s great!

    ‘Righteous’ gallery, I viewed it. Looked like great fun! :)

    AHHHH. WHAT THE HECK. My whole comment didn’t publish! o___O I wrote a really long one too! Thankfully, I saved it because I thought it didn’t publish. So here it is:

    “AUSTINN! Man, you blog fast. And sorry! I’ll blog ASAP. I’ve been kinda busy these days. When I go online now, I usually open up my AIM & start chatting, checking my email, then commenting on people’s sites. Like what I’m doing right now =] I’ll update soon.

What a coinky doink — LOL, I say this a lot now…and I dunno why! I think this is gonna be a long comment. BEAAAT THAT other people commenting (:

    “reckless cars,” reminds me of your old site, Reckless ;) Sorry, that’s really random. The last time I biked was…last summer o.O I really miss biking now.

    AH, my friends and I went to the movies yesterday and we watched “1408.” The other day, my sister told me it sucked, so I told my friends…but they wouldn’t listen to me. Guess what, it DID suck horribly…note: I laughed throughout the movie! So, I think watching Fantastic Four was way better than what I experienced. Well, maybe if you didn’t have a LARGE popcorn you couldn’t finish or large soda, I had it better =]

    I love arcades! And rubiks cubes…that reminds me of this dude who was on “Beauty and the Beast 2.” It was so funny! The guy was crazy though! He was able to solve it in a few seconds with his hands BEHIND his back.

    HEY, are you copying me?! First we both went to the movies recently, and now poker? I’m kidding, lol.I went to my friends house yesterday and played poker with fake chips too, haha. And I did suck badly. But they can’t blame us, right? Video games are way better than little card games!

    LOL a mohawk :) You typed “fohawk” and I was thinking, “what the heck is that? I have to click the link now!” I would never trust my friend to cut my hair…unless he/she HAS much experience with it. Plus, I am a girl! If I was a guy, no problemo. Bald or not, it still doesn’t look as bad as a girl without any hair on her head..

    Oh my, oh my, Austin. WHAT HAVE YOU MADE ME BECOME? A commentor who writes essays on people’s sites?! You better not blog too fast now! This comment has to last for a few days! It’ll take me a while to make a new one! =] So yes, my friend, I win. I made the longest comment. *sticks out tongue* ”

    Man, you needa get AIM - AIM is WAY better than MSN :) Pleeeeeease??? Haha, peer pressure…yay, and now you must download AIM! Because you know…it takes years for one to find a person who shares a lot of similarities. Yeah, you kinda freaked me out by all the similarities we had the first time you commented on my site :D

    What a fantastically fantastic day. =) So eventful. My day consisted of a trip to the orthodontist and an Awards Night at school. Nothing compared to your “Action Packed Monday”!
    People who can solve the Rubik’s Cube thing ridiculously fast, scares me. It seems like their fingers are detached from their hands and that just creeps me out.
    A FOHAWK?!…Never heard of it. = = I clicked on the link but it won’t load!! Now I’ve GOT to see it.
    Off I go to trusty Google!
    Hope you have a Jam Packed Tuesday! =D

    awwwww a pillow fight?! i ALWAYS wanted to have one of those… you know how they have them in the movies, everyone is all happy, giggling, laughing, and your smacking your friend in the face with the biggest pillow you can find and then the feathers fall out of the pillow. i SO want to do that! lol

    i didn’t see the first fantastic 4 movie because uhhh i really wasnt into them when i was growing up, it was all about x men, spiderman, and batman… sometimes superman if you were bored haha. i cannot believe you austin! how can you waste a perfectly good bag of popcorn?! esp the movie theatre kind… its so good, and greasy/buttery, mmmmmmmm. yes, i love JUNK!
    you should so post a picture of your hair on your head, we all want to see! i’m just the first to say it (at least i think i am lol),.
    oooh nice pictures from DC! i am glad you guys enjoyed your time here and i hope you learned something XD.

    LMFAOOO! YOU’RE CRAZYYY. Nah, I think all your comments put together equals to a paragraph shorter than mine, hahaha. Come on…just look at my comment! It looks longer than your whole blog entry. You SUCK; AIM has everything! You can go invisible…and know when people block you…and send offline messages…and have these cool little icons that talk!

    Cutenews is cool. See? It didn’t let you post because it thinks long posts are spam…unlike Wordpress. *cough* Haha, I laughed at that: “without those medicine links.” Yeah, funny how I don’t get those stupid spammy plastic surgery links on my site! Luckkky I should say.

    VItamin C’s song would be the BEST song for a graduation…the best song. I love it! It’s so sad :( Hahaha, I put Cry me a River for fun. Ew, who would dedicate that song for a graduating class? It’s about Britney Spears…a.k.a the baldie who probably shaved her head because she used drugs.

    Wait, so you started school in September? Started early? As in your actually born in 1994? Haha, you’re a young bro anyway. I do feel old now…ah, turning 15 next year!

    No throwing popcorn at the movies! Do you know how much of a pain it is to clean up! Haha. Sorry, I work at the movie theatre and you throwing popcorn causes us more work. Mean children…:P

    That’s great that you loved your new haircut. I can’t remember the last time that I actually LOVED a new haircut. I usually hate mine and then grow to like it over the next few days.

    First time at your site and the theme looks great.

    I don’t think it’s legal for those kids playing poker, and you’re having a blast while most of us are burning from this summer heat.

    I checked those photos, looks like you had fun, was everyone in a good mood or did you just take photos of those who were? :P
