StageCharmer: um... the first grand dragon of the KKK
Burgy1984: ya know who i would fight?
Burgy1984: Ghandi
StageCharmer: why? cause he wouldn't hit back?
Burgy1984: no, because I've always wondered what it would be like
Burgy1984: if not Ghandi, then Barbara Streisand
Burgy1984: just because I hate that bitch

omg, i just watched the movie American History X, for the first time. That has to be perhaps one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. I mean I loved it, but it made me sick to my stomache you know? Not because of graphic violence or anything. Just the amount of hatred that some people have in this world. I mean these people are so fucking blinded by their own hatered, that they dont see that a) what they're doing is wrong 2) what they're doing is solving nothing and C) they are being lied to by the other white-supremecists. i dunno, this movie has made a huge impact on me.
sorry for the really drab post, just had to get it out there.

ok, so Rosanne is playing a cow in the new Disney movie. Does this make anyone but me laugh hysterically? Finally, a role that really suits her! I'm just waiting for the movie with Rosie O'Donnell playing Lucifer, and Cher playing a robot.
Anywho, so my parents have further proven that they are IDIOTS. My mom bid on this full-size, arcade-style air hockey table in our church's charity auction. well she won. problem: we have no room in our house for it. so we decided to put it in my brother's basement. so my brother and I load this table in my truck. Its much too big for the truck, but we make due. So we get it back to Ben's house, and we try to unload it. LOW AND BEHOLD! It wont go down in the basement. At this point, I'm 10 minutes late for work, so I had to jet, and get to work. what a WASTED Sun. afternoon. oh well...
im out for now.

the following post is going to sound biased but its not...trust me
GO SEE JERSEY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm serious....go see Jersey Girl...it is phenomenal. for it being such a far cry from his other movies, Kev does a marvelous job with this movie. There is not one bad performance in the entire show. I even got emotional when Jennifer Lopez's character, Gertrude, died. Raquel Castro, the little girl named Gertie, is by far the cutest, most precocious (sp?) young girl i have ever seen. She steals the show, which is rather impossible, because she is the main character, alongside than the man himself, Mr. Ben "Bad Muthafucka" Affleck. George Carlin is another scene stealer in this movie. Its wonderful to see him play such a good role. He's the nurturing grandfather type, but is still a cynical hardass. Liv Tyler turns in perhaps her best performance to date, perhaps 2nd only to Empire Records. Jason Biggs...HILARIOUS, all i can say about his performance...hilarious. just an all-around great movie. If you have a soft spot in your heart, you will fall in love with this movie. Another job well done Kev! and my deep love for Affleck has been restored full force. also great cameos by Matty-D, Jason Lee, Will Smith, and the guys who played Cohee Lunden and Rick Derris in the previous Kev movies.
thats all for now. dont let the man get ya down.
P.S.,
FUCK ALL OF YOU KEVIN SMITH/AFFLECK/JERSEY GIRL NAY-SAYERS!!!

So as many have noticed, im not posting nearly as much as I used to on here. well i really dont have a whole lot to talk about. I would rather wait for events to build up, and then get it all out at once. i mean if i wanted to post everyday, I could half-ass a story...i mean I could 23-skidoo you a post or something, but that just wouldn't meet the expectations of my avid blog readers. A lot is expected of me when I post. I can't just zip-zap-patty-whack some mealy-mouthed diatribe, I must in fact give the dog a bone. WHAT THE HELL AM I BABBLING ABOUT?!?!?!?

Lo siento por no updato in..umm...over-o el week....o
yeah, haven't taken a Spanish class since Soph. year in high school. i suck.
anyway, sorry for the lack of updating as of late. i've been busy...really busy...mega ultra busy, like superhero busy.
just working a lot. and i was offered the job as props manager for the USI play. so I've been taking care of that. man, i need to focus on school. my grades are starting to slip. ugh. too many things to do. oh well. i'll live
Went out with Sarah the other night. Sarah "the ex". it was a bit awkward, considering we haven't seen each other in just short of a year. but it was really nice to see her again. we caught up on the past year, rehashed some good memories, glanced over some bad ones. all in all, it was a nice evening. I'm hoping to rekindle some modicum of friendship. She's a good kid.
in slightly other news, Leah is in town this week. Must hang out with her sometime. I work nights all week though. A whole bit group of us went to
Denny's on Sat., and 4 of us (Leah, Staci, Max, and that sexy-lovebeast Burgdorf) stayed until like 4:30am. it was fun. i had like NO voice when we departed from the mecca of coffee and heartburn. we talked about a lot of things. between discussions about religion, our futures and DesCartes' view on existence, I think we did a great job of covering all the bases.
umm thats about all that new. kinda gettin' antsy about this summer. I can't wait for Ireland. its gonna be AMAZING.

so yeah, its been a few days since i last relenquished thoughts upon this medium of mass consumption of my inner-most demons. I'm feeling quite poetic tonight, if you can't tell. and we all know what THAT means....yes sir i am once again returning to the land of the forlorn!! whooo!!! oh...shit....thats NOT a good thing....
naw, im alright. just bored. and when im bored, i think about stuff. when i think about stuff, i think about bad stuff. when i think about bad stuff, i think about bad stuff about me. and then i get all self-loathing and shit, and its not a good time. lets just say, i know how Nightcrawler is feeling on my background... but i digress....
so i suppose i should recap the goings on of my spring break, thus far. i've worked quite a bit. work is kinda interwoven amongt stories....I'll only mention it when i deem it applicable. So my mother works with a lady who's niece is in town from ISU. well my mom thought it would be a swell idea for me to take her out for lunch and such. It was good times. The girl is totally sweet, and amazingly cute. only problem is we really have NOTHING in common. she's insanely straight-laced...like too much so for me. She only listens to Christian music and soft-rock, Celine Dion type shit. She doesn't like swearing, and my sense of humor is totally lost on her. but as i said, she's a sweet sweet sweet kid. So i'm going to invite her to join some of us tomorrow night to go see pajama game...she likes musicals.
thats really the only BIG thing that has been going on...
by the way, whoever heard of an
EMERGENCY CHOIR PERFORMANCE!!!!???
i got a call from USI saying they had an emergency announcement. I got scared for a split second....
oh well, so it looks like my week is kinda thrown off kilter. It'll be cool though...kind of a pre-Ireland trip. See how everyone fares being together for that long of a time.
ok well i have to get up at 7:30 to go to a meeting at work at 8am, so im gonna get to bed. but i'm going to leave you with a really long quote from the masterpiece of a film
Boondock Saints
"Now you will receive us. We do not ask for your poor, or your hungry. We do not want your tired and sick. It is your corrupt we claim. It is your evil that will be sought by us. With every breath, we shall hunt them down. Each day we will spill their blood, 'til it rains down from the skies. Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are not polite suggestions, these are codes of behavior, and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost. There are varying degrees of evil. We urge you lesser forms of filth, not to push the bounds and cross over, into true corruption, into our domain. For if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three, and on that day you will reap it. And we will send you to whatever god you wish."

sitting in the computer lab at the basement of the L.A. building. waiting for Humanities class. i have a half hour to kill. today in Poli Sci., the teacher said that everyone who was in class today got 2 extra percentage points on their grade, it being the day before Spring Break. He said that those who were dedicated enough to show up the day before a long break deserved some kind of reward, and that "half of life is just showing up." That was really awesome I thought.
anywho, so i was playing Yahoo pool just a while ago, and i played like 5 or 6 games with this really cool chick from Texas. we chatted about this and that. nothing special. but like it was a good ol' time talking to someone i dont know, nor will i probably ever talk to again. this just goes to prove that Billy Joel was right in saying "Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes, and I'm afraid its time for goodbye again."
dammit, i dont wanna close at work tonight. but i need the money. I hate my job. I hope i get this job at Berry plastics, so i can get the hell out of Fazoli's. I've been working there for over 2 years. I've only gotten a $.25 raise in those 2 years, and i've not been promoted in any way. I still get screwed over on hours, and everything always changes every few months. its just really really quite bothersome. ugh. I'm done with that rant.
ok well i think its getting pretty close to time when i should head out....

i really dont know what to blog about...but perhaps if i just keep typing, inspiration will strike. I have a feeling this is going to be a really random and/or stupid post. here are a couple of song lyrics:
Homesick by Soul Asylum
I am so homesick
But it ain't that bad
Cause I'm homesick
for the home I've never had
This next song is pretty much how i'm feeling right now about my relationship life. I dont know of anyone who will suit me better than me.
Its Only Me (The Wizard of Magicland) by Barenaked Ladies
Speaking as a guy
who's really got it going on
It's only natural
It's only me
Take it from a fella
Who's been round the block so many times
He knows the only parking spot that's free
It's only me
You can say I've tried everything
I'd save on a wedding ring
Who knows me half as well as me?
I'm not antisocial and it's nothing that's reproachful
It's just natural
It's only me
I can't think of anybody else
I'd rather spend some one on one time with
It's not that hard to see
It's only me
I'm the me in monogamy
I'm not asking a lot of me
I give me R E S P E C T
And if your heart is broken
You can just do what you do best
You can just do what you do
When your heart is broken
Trust in the one who will love you
Never put others above you
I thought I was using me to get to you
But this is too unnatural
It's only me
They say you'll never love another till you love yourself
Well brother, I'm in love with everyone I see
It's only me
You can say I've tried everything
I'd save on a wedding ring
Who knows me half as well as me?
I believe in monogamy
I'm not asking a lot of me
I give me R E S P E C T
so i guess thats all...today at Barnes I expressed to Max my desire to inject someone with novacaine so they go entirely numb, and then sew them to the bed while they sleep. i think i may have frightened him with that comment...who knows.
