so on a random (and completely narcissistic note) i was reading through my old blog entries, and one thing led to another and i ended up on my livejournal that i was keeping loooooong before i started blogging on adrizzle.com (looooooong before i started growing hair on my upper lip, for that matter. just kidding. i hope). anyway, i haven't even read it yet, and i'm going to take a complete risk and post the ishhhh, just because that's the kind of mood i'm in today. i did gander at some of my other old entries that i wrote just days after this one though, so i can assure you that if you're looking for some indication that my blogging language has in the past 5 or so years matured exponentially, or that i was some crazy prodigy back in the day, i apologize in advance for your disappointment (my livejournal was named "adrizzle's livejizzle" and i'm sure i haven't matured much since then).

i also would like to take the time to avoid responsibility for any aZn talk, teeniebopperness, or futurebabymamadrama by saying that anything embarrassing or incriminating wasn't typed by me. it was my evil aZn twin.

so here it is, folks: adriel's first blog ever.

well i guess it's about time i got a journal...it's been something that i've been thinking about having for awhile, but i just never got around to doing it. i mean, a lot goes through my head at any given point, and usually if i'm not too lazy i write it down but it's poetry...but it doesn't always come out expressing exactly how i feel. so yeah...i guess this is good. i got the code thingie from my cousin jodie. jodie's awesome. and i think it's dope that we're kinda getting closer, cuz i've never really been that close with most of my cousins, even though most of us are within 5 years of each other. but she just graduated from USF and my major's easy (yay) so i guess timing's just made it cool for us to talk more. i think that's really cool.

it's still kinda weird that i'm posting my feelings and stuff up now...cuz people that know me know that i usually keep to myself. i'm not that shy or anything, but when it comes to how i feel, it's often hard for me to even tell my closest friends. i guess this is sort of a way for me to express myself without feeling like i'm wasting anyone's time, since you can read it if you want, or click that little "x" on the top right corner if you don't :)

soooooo anyway, if there's ever a day to start this whole journal thing, i guess it would be today...(or yesterday, since it's like 1 am now). but yeah, i was working at macy's for the past week and a half of my vacation but i bounced cuz i realized i wasn't spending as much time with my folkers as i wanted to. so there i was on a friday, HELLA KICKING IT AT HOME BORED. you know what i did all day??? i organized my mp3's!! NO JOKE. yeah i know, mucho nerdy, but hey, i was bored. i deleted all the joints that i don't like and organized them in all these stupid folders and stuff (i knwo i'm a geek). i remember once i was talking to j9 about this haha...and then i fixed their names so that it would all be organized like this:

Artist - Title (i.e. Nelly - Air Force Ones)

I used that example to see if i could irritate people cuz i think that song's the epitome of what's wrong with music today. i swerrr dude, i stopped listening to the radio like in 10th grade but i switch it on every so often to hear what new crap is in rotation and i heard that song and i was like "oh dear."

so anyway, i put my mp3's in all these nice little folders and organized them. i didn't realize that i had so many types of music...i have my r&b, hip-hop, rock, and jazz, and then i realized i also had a pretty dope collection of classical, disco, funk, and spoken werrd...see, adriel's eccentric!

so anyway, thank God i did other stuff today too...had lunch with the fam, went to burlington with the sister to buy some threads cuz you know adriel loves his burlington since that's increasingly becoming the only place i buy clothes. then i went to stoneridge to pick up my last paycheck. and damn. i mean, i GUESS $200 for a week's work isn't that bad, but i was pretty disappointed. i mean, most of it was hourly, since it's $8/hour, but i looked at the commission, and all i got out of that was $45!!! i used to get more than that off ONE SALE when i sold cell phones!! and i hella worked my anus off at macy's too, especially since it was Christmas time and people were having me run up and down the store getting their kicks and stuff but i guess that's a whole other subject that i'll have to get into when i'm not in chill mode like i am now.

so anyway, i'm all on my computer and it's 9 at nite and i'm still organizing my mp3's like a square, and since i was on "online freak mode" at the point, i had been online for like 7 hours already, and alisa comes on. so i finally convince her to go with me to get some ice cream. isa's pure dopeness. she stays at martinez, which i thought was 20 minutes away but i timed it and it's more like 40. but it's cool tho cuz she's dope and worth the drive a million times over :) well by the time i got to her place it was already 11 and all the ice cream places were closed so we hit up albertsons and bought cartons and chilled in my car...but it was kinda cold and it was late so we both barely ate any before we started getting stomach aches...but hey...ice cream's good.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT PISSES ME OFF?? ok, pretend youre driving on the freeway, and there's a car one lane over a little ahead of you, and it's all up in your grill swerving into you lane. i hate it when people do that, and when they realize that they've kinda gone into your lane, they signal, to try to make it SEEM like they did it on purpose. i know what you're doing! i do that too!! so anyway, yeah, it's not like isa did it, but this dude did when i was driving back home.

so yeah, here i am again, in front of my computer like i have been for most of the day. but oh well. i'm talking to j9 now, who is also rather awesome. i visited her last nite and we watched gangs of new york.

JaeSweetz79 (1:42:33 AM): i was supposed to go to davis today
JaeSweetz79 (1:42:36 AM): to get my other glasses
JaeSweetz79 (1:42:38 AM): but i got lazy
JaeSweetz79 (1:42:42 AM): so im still rocking the tape

see? that's referring to the fact that she was talking to me on the phone giving me directions to the house and her glasses broke, and so, like a true soldier, she taped them up, and we went to the mall and dude at site for sore eyes spent 45 minutes only to end up taping them back up, making us almost late for the movie. at least he used new tape.
