Sausage Mahoney's Journal

3:07am: A Visit to the Cultural Center of Winchester
I've had an interesting trip to Wal-Mart. In a span of 10 minutes, I both almost got into a fight and got hit on by a 16 year old who was with her grandmother from across the Wal-Mart parking lot (well actually I think she was talking to Wade, but he didn't say anything back to her, and I wanted to have some fun with it). So, from the beginning:

Justin, Wade, and I went to Wal-Mart and they got some food. We were looking at some magazines when a couple of girls and an old woman who appeared to be their grandmother walked by. The youngest looking one (probably around 16) waved. Weirded out, we all kind of brushed it off and went about our business. Well, we checked out and walked out to the parking lot. I decided to have a cigarette before heading out, and Justin and Wade decided to hang with me before leaving. As I finished the cigarette, we all heard a girl screaming something toward us from a white car driving across the back of the parking lot. I couldn't translate what she said, so, in the spirit of friendliness, I just waved and said "hello". Apparently people don't take kindly to those gestures around here, so the car pulled around and up our aisle, and a guy in the back seat began yelling at all of us. We just stood there, looking between each other and this mentally napoleonic-disordered oaf with a half smile/half look of "what in the fuck is this guy's deal", through his barrage of "you fat fuck"s, "faggot"s, "I'll take on all three of you fuckers"s and any other generic bloopity blah that your average white-trash moron would spout. None of us said a word, not out of fear, but because we didn't care to perpetuate any confrontation. The guy tried to get out of the car at one point, but he was in the back seat of a coupe and probably too stupid to figure out how to work the lever to move the seat forward, so his attempt was unsuccessful. Eventually, they pulled off and I burst out laughing at this guy's lunacy. Now, I take more pride in being able to keep any blood off the pavement than actually fighting another person, but had this guy jumped out and tried to try and prove something, none of us would have had a problem with defending ourselves. What is it with people? Why do people feel the need to start shit? Some people find self-esteem in the dumbest shit.

Well about 10-15 minutes later, the two girls and their grandmother came out to their car, which was on the other side of the parking lot. The one that waved began screaming "hey" to us. I waved and said hey back, and she kept telling us to call her and screamed her "name" and "number" to us and asked my/whoever she was really talking to's name. I told her that it was "John" and she screamed back "I love you! My heart belongs to you!" She was probably kidding (I hope), but damn... In front of her damn grandma??? Weird people we have around here... Lots of winners in that there town.

7:10pm: Ok, so Superman Returns made up for all shortcomings of X3. Had I been given a script for X3 and Superman Returns and the choice to direct either one, I'd have DEFINITELY chosen Superman. Bryan Singer made the right choice.

1:05pm: No one's gonna take me alive...
Dude... If any of you get the chance, download Muse's "Knights of Cydonia". It's like a mixture between a fast country/western song, techno, and a little bit of Queen. It's totally badass.

And I didn't know that Matt Bellamy was such a George W. Bush fan!
(Burn... You will burn... You will burn in hell... Yeah you'll burn in hell... you'll burn in hell... Yeah you'll burn in hell for your sins- Track 1, Take A Bow)

12:17pm: ( You have to wonder what happened next in this picture )

12:02pm: It's not 6-6-6. It's 6-6-2006. 6-6-6 was 2000 years ago. The world didn't end then either, dumbass.

1:18pm: If you're ever down and need to be happy again, go to imreallysad.com.

It's pretty much a guarantee that that will make you feel better, if only temporarily. Especially this one.

11:57am: Aside from the dumb music, this is awesome.

10:39am: Suck it, Bill O'Reilly
Read this

5:27am: i've spent hours trying to express how i feel and why i feel the way i do... really depressed. i just couldn't figure out the problem. finally, it came to me: i'm really drunk and over the past 2 days, i've had about as much sleep as i would normally get in one day. also, in these past 2 days, i've done more physical activity than i normally do in over a week. finally, i realize the balance between physical and psychological well being. kids, get plenty of sleep and stay away from alcohol. i mean... i probably won't but i guess you should.

5:05am: GAHHHHHH!!!! KILL ME!!!!! I HAVE THE WORST MIGRAINE OF MY LIFE... THE ONLY CURE FOR IT IS SLEEP, BUT IT HURTS SO BAD IT'S KEEPING ME AWAKE. THE ONLY THING THAT I CAN DO IS MAKE ANGSTY LIVEJOURNAL POSTS IN ALL CAPS.

7:49pm: An answer to some of the world's problems?

1:28pm: X3
So I saw the X-Men 3 Midnight showing last night, and as cool as it still managed to be, I'm a bit disappointed. The second was absolutely awesome and this one fell short of the standards that it set. I'm not saying that it was a bad movie, just that it was a slightly disappointing way to end the trilogy (but not as bad as the Matrix trilogy... They should have left it at 1). Bullet-Tooth Tony as the Juggernaut was freakin' sweet. He has some pretty sweet one liners (I'm sorry, I'm just a sucker for a good one-liner, I guess that's why I like Sawyer on Lost). And yeah... If you see it, STAY THROUGH THE CREDITS. They left something very important for after the credits. That is all.

3:02pm: Clerks 2 out a month before originally slated
Clerks II- July 21

5:34pm: John has too much free time
So my roommate, while at work, started making Nintendo themed push-pin art during his free time. About a year ago, he made a perfect original NES Mario and Turtle shell (well the turtle shell is missing some yellow... he ran out):


He decided to keep going with this Nintendo thing and made this:



I bet you didn't think they made that many colors of push pins.\

EDIT: For those who doubt the authenticity of the Samus pic:

4:25pm: I actually like that one song that Panic! At The Disco plays over and over on their album.

6:50pm:

5:01pm: Add this man to my list of heroes
Gunther

4:01pm: Question: Politically Correct?
Is this picture racist?

1:46pm: ( Some of my favorites... )

12:23pm: There's a teaser for the Simpsons movie on imdb.com

July 27, 2007

12:06pm: Grades
There's a definite trend in my grades- and not a good one. Right now it's not bad, but by graduation time, it could get that way. See if you notice: (spacing was screwed up by LJ, looked right when entered)

Semester Class 1 Class 2 Class 3 Class 4
1 A A A A
2 A A A B
3 A A B B
4 A B B B


I thought it was kind of a tell-tale sign of my growing boredom for school, honestly. Guess since I'm about halfway through, I might get back to all A's if I reverse the trend now. Here's hoping!

1:23am: Stephen Colbert is my new hero
Not direct quotes but close:

"People criticize the Bush administration's staff changes as if they're 'rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic'. I disagree. I think this administration is SOARING! They're rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!"

"You reporters go spend time with your families. Write that novel you've always wanted to write. You know, the one about the fearless reporter who tries to stand up against the administration. You know... Fiction."

All of this was said on C-SPAN in the presence of Dubya himself and hundreds of reporters (and Lawrence Fishburne). It was for the White House Correspondent's Dinner, which turned out to be more like a Friar's Club Roast of George W. Bush. If you haven't seen it yet, find it. It's on torrentspy.com

1:47am: The new Tool album is almost worth getting just for the packaging.

That's all.

1:03am: I'm not sure how I feel about this...
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2006-04-28-mexicodrugs_x.htm

If it were just for marijuana, I'd be gung-ho, but ecstasy, coke and heroin are going a bit far.

Perhaps I should add this, too...

12:38am: At least I still have... Edmonton?



Or maybe I should hope that the Sabers go all the way just so I can say that they Flyers aren't so bad... But they did choke really bad. They always do.
