Saw this movie tonight. It was put on by IFC. Definitely some good and not so good things about. Not really worth talking about though. Found out today one of my good friend’s parents aren’t doing so hot. Made me want to cry. I hate to think of somebody I care about having to go through some of the stuff I did. Definitely not fun. I think they’re doing alright though and that definitely warms my heart. Also found out there’s a dollar theater in Ft. Wayne - and Garden State is playing there. So awesome. Maybe I’ll get to see it or maybe I’ll just wait til it comes out on DVD.

Well, didn’t run into Willie again. I called my sister to tell her I saw him and ended up leaving her some voicemail. She then called me back and said, “wish i was there so i could throw a brick at his face”. The breathing is getting a little better every day. I was actually able to sleep last night which rocked. Up until last night I think I got about 10hrs of sleep total. It’s really weird cause you’re really tired but you can’t fall asleep. Actually it’s not so much weird but just not fun at all. Got invited to an international dinner thing tonight and was gonna go cause my other plans fell through. Then I ended up not making it over there but some friends of mine stopped by with food from it. That was awesome. It’s people doing things like that for you that make you feel loved. I’m definitely getting up and going to church tomorrow unlike last week. Last weekend the whole breathing thing was really getting me down and I think I pretty much was in my bed or laying down most of the weekend just taking it easy. Here’s a tip: If you don’t already have asthma, don’t get it. Finally went to Wal-Mart last night. I think that was the first time I’ve really bought groceries in a month. I think I only ran to Dollarsmart once to buy a gallon of milk. I needed to get some mayo and at the end of the mayo isle they had boxes of little doughnuts. You know, the assorted kind with chocolate, powdered, etc. Well, they had boxes of the ‘crunchy’ ones with the coconut things on the outside. I love those, so I bought some. It’s amazing all the food choices I have now since I have things to make stuff with. I’m currently soaking some pinto beans to cook in the near future. Then I can take those and make a lot of stuff. Probably not going to make chalupa cause I don’t have a roast. I could always freeze the beans and get roast later or something though. Or maybe add some chicken……Anyways, for those of you that didn’t know, Napoleon Dynamite and Garden State are coming out on DVD next month. ND on the 21st and GS on the 28th. So be on the lookout.
I can breathe better - yah! So tonight I decide I need to get out and do something since I’ve been laying around gasping for the past couple days. Playing some poker up on the deuce and the elevator door opens up with my uncle Willie coming out. He’s my dad’s sister’s husband. He looks right at me and doesn’t say a thing so I just keep my mouth shut. Then after he’s standing around for a while he notices me and makes a deal about me not saying hi. He’s probably here for World Opportunities Week. He also informed me his daughter is here and pretty much ordered me to “say hi” to her if I saw her. She’s alright but I really hope I don’t have to have much more interaction with him or my aunt if she’s around. I know that probably sounds pretty bad but I’m really not much of a fan of my dad’s side of the family. Let’s just say I don’t have many fond memories of them.
Well, today is election day - and not just any election day, we vote for president this year. So it’s big. They always say this is the day the most powerful man in the world gets elected, or something close to that. I would say that it’s hard not to say that the United States is one of the more powerful countries in the world. However, I do get tired when my fellow country men and women make statements and have thoughts/attitudes that we are the only country in the world worth considering. It wasn’t until I was in high school that I even realized I had been pseudo programmed to think that way myself. It’s kinda scary. I want to be more globally oriented and not be so self-centered. I wish I could speak lots of languages and be able to relate to others from different cultures. Hopefully I can get out of this country in the future and go experience some more of the world. I guess time will tell on that one.
Some people love the fall weather. I like it and sometimes don’t like it. Right now I’m not liking it so much. This is the time of year that all those leaves turn those pretty colors and fall on the grass. Then the owners of that grass like to get out their rakes and brooms and fuel those backyard fires. Lots of my neighbors are these types of people. I know burning leaves is a very easy way to get rid of them but most people don’t realize the kind of effect they have on the air quality and how it affects people with respiratory problems. Gary’s, the housekeeping guy that works in the ETC, son is in the hospital right now because of those leave burners. I feel bad for the kid. I also have been having some problems and wasn’t able to make it to work today. Luckily I have drugs I can take to help that, which I hate taking by the way. So hopefully I can get back to work tomorrow and hopefully the entryway into my apartment building will stop smelling like burning leaves.
It’s always funny watching people get caught trying to buy thing for minors. Saturday night as Lofton and I are on our way to the theater we got to witness a little scene at the gas station with the Subway here in Upland. A girl walks in and tries to buy some w/o an ID. She looked 14ish so of course they tell her no. So she goes outside all worked up and the lady she was riding with goes in. The lady tries to buy some and they say no cause they know she’s with the girl. This lady comes unglued and starts screaming, yelling, threatening, cussing, using sign language, you name it. She gets weary of her spectacle then comes outside where I am now standing and TLoft is inside. She tells the girl what happened then becomes convinced they’re talking about her inside. So she runs back in for a few more ‘f-you’s’ and what not. TLoft said after the lady was informed the cops had been called she said she was gonna press charges for the clerk laughing. TLoft then said you can’t do that so he got an ‘f-you’ as well. It was definitely a good intro to Team America: World Police.
Today I went back to the doctor and she decided to have me do some physical therapy, or ‘torture’ as the receptionist apparently likes to call it. Hopefully they don’t put me on a rack or nothin. One funny thing was I told her I’ve been continuing to lift and she wanted to know how much I lift. So I asked her in what and she keeps repeating how much weight. So I told her how much I was benching last week and she flipped out about how it was too much even though I tried to tell her that was taking it easy. Hopefully I’ll find out something to do with this physical therapy stuff. Hopefully it’s not just the stuff I’ve been doing since I originally hurt them that they told me to do in high school. She also told me I should have just layed off of doing pretty much everything for the past few weeks. That sounds good, but is kinda not possible too. Another point to bring up is I’ve been dealing with this for like 6 years and when I do absolutely nothing they just get worse usually.
