Thanks for reading, I still hope you keep reading. This will still be up and about for reference. Thanks again - Anthony Vera

Well, a nice pretty mellow couple of days. I may get that transfer after all (to the Starbucks closer to my house) I befriended a cute jewish girl at a record store, found an awesome pair of sunglasses (finally) and for less them twenty; I was almost willing to spend up to 90 dollars for a pair. I also found an awesome Palace Brothers T-Shirt, it's the american flag shaped like a camara... how fucking rad is that. (sigh) I may however relent and end this blogger blog and move on to the greener pastures of LiveJournal. If so, I'll definitly END this jounral with a link. Aside from all of that, that's it. Work was much better yesterday and I have the next two days off... be back later.

Oh man! I am ever burnt out. It has been a crazy few days at work. I rarely had time to sleep. I did clear the air with Suzy, and so we're cool As other things go, I'm not so sure. I'm just board, though that's what usually happends this time of year for me. It's just more so today had I noticed. I always seem to fault myself more than normal. I do like the fact that I have a busy job, it leaves me less time to think about my issues. Anyhow, I need to get over it... that's all really.

Well, here I am, alone on a Saturday watching COPS and typing this out online. Oh well, it's been somewhat of the crazy week. I only wish I ran into Windy (how her name is spelled) earlier in the week. I feel so drained from eeverything that has happened in the past week. Though I can honestly say that my break-up with Suzy has been for the best. If anything else, I catch myself thinking of another ex-girlfriend who no longer lives in town... oh well. Earlier this past afternoon, I was watching Penn and Teller's Bullshit. I love this show. it's about P & T debunking various frauds and general ...well, bullshiters. It's a show on Showtime, though you can pick it up on DVD (click on that link) I must say that I just saw a commercial for The Swan, and that just annoys the shit out of me. As far as Suzy is concerned, I hope she is happy, or at least is happy soon. She truely can be with anyone that she wants to be with. There are tons of guys who would like to spend all their free time with someone. Unfortunately, that person wasn't me. Speaking of girls, I had a nice long conversation with Laura recently. At first, there were things that concerned me, though now I'm much more comfortable. Well, here I am, with nothing interesting to say, other than what I had just said. I'll say more when I have to say it.

Well, day one of being single for the past 8 months and I'm feeling fine. Anywho, I finally picked up Gang Tapes. I absolutely love this movie. It's done in a some what documentry style (Think Blair Witch Vs. Menace II Society. It start off with this family who while sight seeing get lost in the 'hood, get carjacked by some "bangers". One of those lil' thugs gets ahold of the family camcorder and starts filming the explots of his coming of age (the tag line to this movie was A Coming Of Rage Story) It really is a great film, and despite my descirption, it is very much an original film. I also picked up the Desperado/El Mariachi collection. I needn't have to explain these films... they are the shit yo. Okay... that is enough for now - nite!

Well, we finally broke up. Not to say that's not what I had wanted, but I do feel a little sad. We've been together for over four months, and it was fine for awhile. Though after two months, I realized that we were probably not going to get too far. This is for the best, I just hope she'll see that way eventully.

Well, here I am on a rather early Wenesday typing this out and IM'ing a rather attractive young woman whom I met on one of the fourms I frequent. Aside from my spelling errors which I'll fix later, I'm left here alone, with my own devices. Is this fair to my "girlfriend", which I'm trying to remedy. Maybe my problem isn't so much my disdane for my relationship so much as it is a complete and utter lack of interest for myself at the moment. this isn't a jab toward myself, so much as it is me being completely board. Today, I was in a rather plesent mood... it actually surprised me. I was nice and carefree, I was aside myself. I concluded that my lack of spending time with my girlfriend has made me appreciate lonely time. I've been working more as another way to not spend time with her... that's kinda bad, no? Anyhow, I need to sleep. I have that appointment in the morning - Nitey-nite.

Not that I have anything all to important to say at the moment, though I have no desire to be anyone, at least in a relationship type of sense. I have a girlfriend that I'm no longer attracted to, but that's not to say I think any less of her. Well, that's not true... I'm just not into it anymore. In a couple of days, I'll be getting new glasses... finally.

So, Kill Bill Vol. 2 came out this past weekend, and I got to see it tonight. I must say that I quite liked it... more than the first. There were quite a bit of surprises in it, due to good reviewers, mostly that of Robert Berry from retroCRUSH. I will say that there was less action than before, but more than enough. The movie opens the same why as you may of seen in the previews; Uma drives her car toward Bill while explaining the plot. It goes on from there, where she encounters Budd (Michael Madsen who plays a fairly convincing dirtbag) and Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah in probably the best fight scene in the movie). Then of course Bill (David Carradine who is more is more charming than most Bond villians)

Mild Spoilers:

Okay, here are things, albeit minor and don't give away much, still suprised me. So, be forewarned. Samual L. Jackson has a minor role in a flashback scene, we find out that The Bride actually has a name! I was also surprised that Bill isn't killed sooner in the film, as the reviews I've read lead me to believe that's how it would happend. Gordon Liu plays mentor and would-be-mentor to The Bride and Elle respectively as Pei Mei. His role was by far one of the most entertaining; ever wonder how Elle lost her eye? Also to mention, that Gordon Liu was great as Johnny Mo in Vol. 1. This time out occasional director Robert Rodriguez scored the music, which I found easier to digest with what was going on. Not to say that The RZA wasn't a good choice, but for Vol. 2 along the movie, the music kept a good flow. Volume one seemed a bit... all over the place (the one true Quentin Tarantino trait) Volume Two held my attention the entire time through. Less blood and more story. Also, the credit sequence in the beginning are my favorite in a Quentin Tarantino movie, thus far. They have a fifties feel too them, also the shortest credits in a QT movie. Okay, I'm tired. I'll end with me saying that this is by far my favorite film out of QT's four others... and that's saying a lot...I'm so fucking tired.

So, he I am trying to come up with something that would maybe be meaningful and thought provoking, and all I can think of is how I could dump my girlfriend without looking like an asshole and also, I wish I would have got some nachos before I came home. That's not to meaningful, though I still wish I had some nachos.

Finally have I updated the "Friends" section, with Lori's and Heather's Blog... unlike some people (Ryan) they tend to update. I however, don't update... Though I have been getting better. Oh, for Homestar Runner fans, here is the more explored of the HSR related forms: The Independent Homestar Runner Fan Fourm; a rather good place to catch up on all things Homestar related. Keep in mind that a lot of these folks are young, so don't get to ape-shit there. Those looking for more to talk about, and a fourm with twenty-thirty somethings, try the retroCRUSH fourms... keep in mind however (My phrase of the day) that these type of fourms have rules, so please abide or don't bother. Lori's blog will have a link to her fourm... Homestar Freaks. Another site devoted to HSR. Okay folks out and over for now.

I about had it. As much I as I dislike being alone, I think it's best for now... I just need to let her know that. I had a good oppertunity when she had told me that we didn't have much in common, and I agreed. That would have been the perfect time to break-up then, though she broke down and cried. Therefore, there you go; I'm still with her and now here I am. I can't sleep and I'm on my computer bitching about it. My ex-girlfriend, the one I like, moved to Las Vegas... I have no desire to go out to the desert.

No, this isn't about April March, the beautiful girl who sings songs in French and occasionally English. This is more about Spring. Ordinarly, I hate this time of year, however my attitude has changed slightly. This is due to maybe being in a different envornment. I'm seriously concidering ending my relationship, due to me not being able to spend every last second to my friggin' girlfriend. I've taken to not calling her unless she calls me... about twice a day at least. I like hanging out with her, but I'm becoming less into public affection. If this makes me a lesser person, then that's what I am. I'm not really spending enough time doing anything fun. I have tickets to The Strokes show, though I'm really not wanting to go now, so I'm trying to unload them... However, for a sold-out show, I'm having a hard time to find takers. I do have somethings I'd like to do, but it's all about funding...or lack-there-of. Okay, this is probably the longest post I've done in sometime, so hopefully, it will be read. PEACE OUT!!!
