9:47 pm	So i think it must be decided beyond all doubt.... Rancid is in fact God. Besides that. I was bored and taking a walk and I heard this music from a coffee shop and went it. I enjoyed it. Very relaxing. They had energy, they were good. Their drummer was AMAZING for a small band in a coffee shop their bassist was good and they were funny and their guitarist knew what he was doing and their lead singer/sorta guitarist blended well usually although he looked a little cocky (but maybe necessary who know) but yeah. i enjoyed it i think they were called edson... who knows. now i am going to see Xmen 3 again, with Morgan and Keeli. I don't consider myself a third wheel because.... They invited me :D i like it! hmmm i think that keeli and charity should carpool sometimes this summer. but yes..... HELLO WISCONSIN! Savage rules, i love his philosophies. I like his solitudities and i like his guitarities. I didn't practise today. hmm more work tomorrow. Rancid kicks, even more. and more. and more. and more. and more. and more. I don't want to spend the summer playing nintendo. I do not consider it a positive thing that i have been playing lately, other then that I found more levels on Tony Hawk. Heck yes! oh and..... RANCID IS GOD. i can't wait to see them and all their glory live. Current Music: Rancid: Arrested in Shanghai (Comment on this)

2:47 am	Shells and Mulberry The Herald sign looms over all Vernaculars left for children to sit and absorb knowing not why their mother sat and read the news each day. what was she looking for? The bars are empty. "hit me with a bar stool and call me nancy fuck yeah oh god you are doing it . . . so right oh fuck fuck oh right" Squeeze the bugs until they pop, pressure escapes between your finger, a life is lost, but hey, darwin is satisfied worry not about the children, for we tucked them in safe. Pretending to know helps us hide a light shines bright upon them for all to see but behind the light, you are dark to them and they are to you. Staring softly the predator makes pray slowly the sheep walk home, hidden beneath their umbrella reinforcements come, but the umbrella keeps them dry. Armys swarm to protect those children safely tucked within their homes. dreams slept sweetly while others live pain. Purple skies mark that which is industrialeyesed the brighter it shines, the more they can see. Safely in safety they teach us hope. Parasols are worthless when it doesn't rain burden in wait, scales used to decieve. A soul, a savage, walks home in the night flying below radar, a speed never to be met trying slowly to disappear (Comment on this)

11:55 pm	a kid that went to my highschool/middle school/ elementary school (moved to the area part way into elementary) won an mtv movie award. He lives literally 2 streets from my house, i have been in his tree house and played basketball in his driveway. An alright kid, i hope he isn't an asshole these days like so many that i know. One thing is sure, i like him better then his brother who was a bit pompous. (Comment on this)
11:26 pm	I'll have seconds, please. I have gained a considerable amount of fillin this year. people might be like "shut up patrick your so skinny" and i know that i am a skinny person by just how my body is built, but the flab i've gained is all in my belly and it is a bit noticeable, wow i need to start working out, my abs probably need more strength to support my spine anyways, because of being so tall i will undoubtedly have back problems.

2:52 pm	Bleh, crappy food and service Worst restaurant in Bellingham? Diamond Jim's Grill. I just went there, and if you like onions you are good food wise, if you don't, everything has them! and I mean, TONS of onions. I ordered pancakes to avoid them, but Charity's food was just ladened with them. They also suffered from one of my biggest pet peeves in breakfast restaurants, they put the glob of butter directly on my pancake, not on the side in a butter dish where it belongs, i absolutely hate it when they just automatically put butter on top of pancakes with no place to put it, luckily charity's latte cup was empty. We spent OVER an hour waiting for our food, and it wasn't that great. It took them twenty minutes to refill my water glass, and they didn't refill it a second time. They weren't understaffed, because they had people doing all kinds of side tasks and prep work like things, that were only detrimental to the customers that were there. Oh well. I gave them a chance, but thats all they get. Btw, breakfast meals are important to me and should not be fucked up :D (Comment on this)

Gamers addicted in Europe I think that this is a great time to point out the fact that I am Finnish. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/5036602.stm so yeah. lots of stuff has been happening as of late, in particular: I got a new mop-head! yay! Video game addictions: interesting how the first center is opening up in Europe when China has had one open for at least a year or two now, not only that, china is making it difficult to play games more then a few hours a day, which is easier there then here considering that most gamers in china play at internet cafes because they can't afford computers. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/5034756.stm Current Music: guitar being practised, through a wall, hell yeah!

12:56 pm	ScratchPad #3 Sometimes I like to think... These are my thoughts: I haven't updated since before my birthday. Financially my birthday was very successful. I have earned much of the expenses needed for a digital camera from both my parents and Grandma. Not only that, but I mangaged to receive my tax return on my birthday as well (my mom put it in the envelope with my card she sent me) and yeah... I rolled pretty well that day. Then again it goes as it comes, as that is the point of money? Why would a currency exist unless it was meant to be used to purchase items. What is the point of being like "I have a million points in the bank", not like having a high score does anything, cause even if you have the best frogger score ever recorded, at some point it will be unplugged, and even if you do everything to prevent that, the machine might just get hit by a truck as you are trying to cross a street with it. Well... "She looks like the real thing She tastes like the real thing My Fake Plastic Love. But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling If I just turn and run And It Wears Me Out, it wears me out It wears me out, it wears me out. And if I could BE who you wanted If I could BE who you wanted, All the time, all the time, ohhh... ohh..." btw, if you (whoever "YOU" may be) ever get a chance to eat Ariel's cake, I wholesomely recommend it. SO good. ! . exactly. Current Music: Radiohead - Life in a Glass House (Comment on this)

1:35 pm	ScratchPad #2 ScratchPad, because sometimes I like to think... These are my thoughts: Putting off the whole study for the test thing because I have no focus. It is much more interesting watching hormones take control of a small community population. I have basically spent the last two hours observing peers in my age group try to arrouse and stimulate each other through the broadcasting and movements of their bodies. Ande in my opinion, I don't mind one single freaking bit :D I think it is perfectly natural and I support it. One guy though was being a little bit too obvious about it. There are so many girls wearing skirts today it in unbelievable. I am not just saying that because it is attractive, but more because it is true! Probably half the girls hear at whatcom seem to be flaunting around in skirts. I also don't recall seeing very many frowns on the faces of men, or women for that manner considering that it is sunny. Radiohead is kicking my ass in how fucking amazing they are. I absolutely love them. Rancid too, but that is a different story considering that I got my two hours of rancid fix and I still want to listen to them. I probably pull about 12 hours a week of Rancid or more on average, kind of ridiculous. but this is supposed to be about Radiohead... yeah I am very relaxed listening to this. Two different people at different times went and dunked themselves in the fountain, first one and then the other in response i guess. First the flaunt guy, and then second what became the flaunt girl for the center square. I supposed it satisfied all the sexes and attraction types. but I think it was a little overboard, considering the girl walked around with her skirt unzipped for hte next hour (she had her swimsuit on) although I wont lie, it was pretty hot. Holy shit! I just saw this guy and this hippie guy totally just ride across the entire square together on the same skateboard, so fucking cool. I like it when people rock out like that. I should get back to studying "I wish they'd swoop down in a country lane late at night when i'm driving show me onboard their beautiful ship show me the world as I'd love to see it i'd tell 'em we're friends they'd think that i'd finally lost it comnpletely i'd show them the stars and the meaning of life I'd show them where but i'd be alright" Current Mood: contemplative Current Music: Radiohead -black star / subterranean...

5:12 pm	ScratchPad entry #1 Sometimes I like to think, hence ScratchPad. These are my thoughts: as I think pretty well with a keyboard. for thhe most part these will be public or friends secure but on occassion they will end up locked to all but me. where are we now, where are we now? I think that we really as a human race need to try to figure out just as to where the fuck we are now. Most Americans don't read newspapers. Tv news is scewed to being something that requires a profit, so they only show subject matters of certain interests. It largely reduces the amount of possible stories that are shown, and really hides the American public from finding out what is actually happening in this world. I hope the bbc keeps their internet service free and ad free in the form that it has been for the last few years. I read something about them considering changing it for non-UK residents, because it is a taxpayer based service for the country but htat it is an expense for international users, we will see. whatever i love the bbc either way. Still dunno what i want to do for my birthday, or where i wanna be at. My dad wants to take me to dinner on the birthday night, i dont really see any good reason not to. Over the weekend, Ryan has a show in bellingham on saturday. I am not sure if I want to go to Seattle Friday night some how and get a ride up with him on Saturday. Or if i just wanna stick around up here for the weekend. All these people are wanting to hang out and I am just excited about the fact that I can finally go to 21 and over shows, specifically jazz shows. Shit that is gonna be awesome. maybe I should have a decide what I do for my birthday post on myspace so i dont have to think about any of this shit. Well, at least if not anything else, I am moving myself one year later in the draft pursuit. Fucking government. Tonight will be dinner at Ariels. Word to grub. to me grub is one of the highest forms of food, along with free meals from parents at restaurants. I suppose the best meal I have had in the last year would be a particular Pork shoulder southern hospitality special meal at... a friend's parents house. Wow that food was good. But, probably the last time I will ever be having dinner there. I hope Mark and Carol are doing well, and that my friend is looking after themself too. I'm pissed at myself for not keeping up to date on the RHCP tour, I missed getting tickets for their Vancouver show, hopefully they will end up coming to Seattle, as they are one of the bands that I need to see before they die, i die, or they break up. We will see. Anyways, at least I have my Rancid tour coming up no matter what I will not allow myself to miss ticket chances for them. I don't think I have had this much anticipation to see a band in a long long time, even if ever. Fuck yeah, I love Rancid. Well, I guess I am off to dinner... I'm thikning I will like ethese ScratchPad entries, i even got some tags going for it, sweet. ~patwr2g Current Music: Depleted Uranium is a War Crime - Anti-Flag (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:01 pm	"Mommy can wii get a Wii" -Little Susie "Daddy can we get a PS3" -Little Jimmy Just wanted to point out to any girl gamers to check out Nintendo's Wii site, between the pictures and the videos there are more female game players then there are male game players. They have a pretty varied audience of kinds of people playing, and for some reason it oddly looks like a gap commercial at times. Hmm maybe I will be honored and find my useless critiqueless pointing out of the facts thrown onto the world's leading girlgamer site, lakedesire at new game plus. Word. Well I support the fact that a company is finally making and acknowledging that their system is made for both genders not the situation of well my brother has a playstation so I am gonna play it and like it by default, finally someone is saying hey chicks it is ok to actually buy a machine for yourself. I think around Christmas time with family interests this machine will blow the others away as it suits both kinds of family members as far as having an interest, and the fact that it will be half the price of the PS3. Besides, look how bitchin those Japanese people look when they are playing ping-pong with their controllers. ~patwr2g Current Music: Right in Two - Tool (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:40 am	My poor dilapidated bed So for the second time in as little as a week, last night while i was sleeping my bed decided to collapse from under me. During the middle of the night when you have FINALLY gotten yourself to sleep, this absolutely SUCKS. So downstairs I went. Got on the couch and back to sleep. Less comfortable, less room. oh well. I know how to fix my bed, I just haven't done it yet. The thing that happened is the slats that hold the mattress up all go from one side to another underneath it. Well i think the bar that holds them up stripped the screws out and isn't in as tightly allowing all of the slats to just fall freely to the ground when weight is applied to them for long periods of times. It isn't like I was moving around or anything, there i was sound asleep, Charity was even more sound asleep and it just went BOOM. Yeah it sucked. but what can you do. My brother just asked me "Did you move downstairs?" such humor. If he only knew. Current Music: The Fragile - Nine Inch Nails (Comment on this)

Iranese people are really good people (seriously ask any of them), they have problems with their government ever since the change of power in 1979.
