Motown Never Sounded So Good

I couldn't help but think back to the advice

that I got from my dad a few times
he said"...time goes by so fast in a blink of an eye
so never close your eyes..."
"...I always wanted something more than 50 hours every week
and a paid vacation on the jersey shoreline"
And he said
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man

This weekend has been pretty fun. On Friday, Jesse, Meghan, Mark, Davide, Erica, Brittany, and I headed over to Blacksburg to eat at El Rodeo and hang out. I got the usual #28-Enchilada, Qeusadilla and Rice. Afterwards, Jesse got a tatoo apraised and then we headed to the Mall for a bit, since Meghan had a gay 9 o'clock curfew, we couldn't stay long. I bought my Steelers Super Bowl Champs shirt, and just hung out. Ran into Nick Stewart, which was random, but pretty cool. Saw Michael Thompson, and like 5 other people I can't even remember at the moment.

After dropping Meghan off, Jesse and Brittany came over and we watched Garden State. It is probably my favorite movie at the present time. Zach Braff does an amazing job acting and directing the movie. It really shows the premise of being a teenager, of not "coming-of-age". I love the entire drama between Large and his father (which is played beautifully by Ian Holm(Hamlet, Lord of the Rings)), as I feel that I am blamed by my parents for things that are out of my control. The entire Medieval Times, Lucky Charms, Star Trek sequence at the breakfast table is one of the funniest scenes in movies, in my opinion.

Saturday, I sat around at home, after being thwarted from my movie plans with Meg. I started back up Vevuh, my Final Fantasy XI character. Here she is:




I also watched the second disc of the extended edition of The Fellowship of the Ring with my parents, and got them addicted to LOTR, which is pretty funny, in my opinion. I went to work at 4:45, did my chores, and left around 8:10, and then sit in the parking lot and talked to my grandpa for about 20 minutes. It was alot of fun, I really never get to talk to him anymore, being so busy and crap anymore. I then proceeded to drive to Pembroke just to return Brittany's scarf to her, which she left at my house Friday night. I came home, and played some Super Mario 64 DS, and then hit the hay.

Today, I woke up, and just stumbled around the house, finished downloading "Tales from the Public Domain", a Simpsons episode that has Hamlet reenacted in it, for English class. I then went and got recertified for Refeeing this year, which is always fun >.>. It reinforced my hate for snobby bastards and know-it-alls. After that, I came home and proceeded to watch the first disc of The Two Towers with the parents, then watched the Pro Bowl.

I plan on doing some pretty crazy things tomorrow, no clue exactly what yet, but it should be crazy.
