lots of new things finally. firstly, i found a band i liked called 50:50 shot quite some time ago on here. later they announced they were looking for a new guitarist. luckily, i knew of a great guitarist who likes ska. and much more luckily hes mine. so i forced michael to contact them. and eventually he did. which is lucky because after many practices he is now their guitarist. and hes actually played two shows with them now. and all the guys are great. we usually end up hanging out with them after practicing. theyre all hilarious. i reiterate....hilarious. so thats been fun.

then we took off after the last practice on tuesday and headed up to chattanooga. but ended up staying in dalton since it was so late. checked into a hotel and went to walmart. for food. and for michael to win a psp. for $2.50. insane. so we went back to the hotel and played with the psp for a bit. the next day we went to see rock city. its so much fun. and i had a popsicle. and got a little sunburned. saw a pretty white deer thing. and headed back to dalton. where we drove around looking at all the run down old buildings. and i honestly dont remember what else. but we found another hotel to stay at for cheaper with some coupon we found. we tried to run out to get to cicis before they closed. didnt work. so we picked up food from kroger and went back. it was a bit after ten but the pool wasnt locked. so i got in. and just as i was starting to get used to the freezing water they came to close it. i was sad. i hate the pool closer man. and then we just got online with the ds/psp and watched tv till we fell asleep. had breakfast at cicis. found the venue in dalton. where michael will have to play at soon. drove home. done. got home and left for work 10 minutes later.

and that day at work we found out the store had been robbed earlier that night/day. just money. thats all that was taken. they used the stores own bolt cutters to break into the till. PWNED! didnt try to get into the safe. didnt take any of the nice new computers with touch screen. no food. just the 100+ dollars. i hate fingerprinting dust. it was all over the till and everytime i had to get someone change i got it on me. and i had to wash my hands to get it off. on saturday at work it got really stormy. and at some point i had to pee. so i did. when i was washing my hands michael came back and yelled that there was a tornado outside. but by the time i grabbed my camera and made it outside it was gone. i missed seeing a tornado touchdown. i hate that. of course suddenly everyone wanted pizza. 911 called the store and informed us that jose was in a car accident and was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. turns out he was fine. the poor kid just got that car about three days before after he wrecked his other car about two weeks ago. so needless to say he probably cant deliver for dominos anymore.

and yesterday was band practice. in which half the band was very late for. and somewhere along the way everyone decided to go to the old georgia mental institute later on that night. so most of us went to eat at panera. which i will never eat at again. the pizza was $7. super thin and small and cheeseless. oh. and BURNT. not worth $7. and we went back to the 5050 house for a bit. and than went to the disregardables show. chris and ryan did nothing. and michael and i went to target and to eat some real food. went back to the 5050 house and played wii with chris. fun! and all kinds of people kept showing up. actually just a few. there was me, michael, michael, michael, chris, than, cookie, and two-ish other people i dont know. so we went to the hospital. and as we were walking into the entrance a truck with three(?) other kids michael knew pulled into it and turned around to park where we had. so no one seemed to be wanting to go toward the place but me. so i kept walking around exploring it and everyone else kinda following. and apparently one kid knew how to get to the underground part back in the woods. so we went in and walked around and checked everything out but the staircase in one room that a homeless person made his home. and for some reason we left. when out in the courtyard those three fucking kids grabbed a fire extinguisher from somewhere and did whatever you would call using a fire extinguisher for a none fire emergency and instead aiming it at a group of people in a place where it would get us arrested. so we decided to leave immediately before some nearby neighbor called the cops. never happened. but on the way out a campus van drove just past us without caring. even though it was sometime around 1am. so everyone else left in their cars but michael chris and me. while we waited on than and sarah and cookie. which turned out to be them and three or four other people too. so we went back again. checked it out some more to try and find the entrance to the underground tunnels. i decided to try the homeless mans bedroom this time with cookie following. but those stairs were blocked off as well. turns out they only lead to the upper part sitting in the courtyard. chris and than disappeared for while and michael and cookie and i couldnt decide if maybe they were walking around with everyone else or still hididng in the basement or woods in an attempt to scare us. they werent doing the latter. and so everyone left again but michael than chris cookie and me. so we forged through the thickets behind the weird underground building with no clues uncovered. so we went to the main building. found a huge possibility in this cellar area with several matresses in it. kind of surveyed the outside of this huge place and decided wed have to come back again. went back to the house and looked it up online. no avail. instead we ended up looking up all kinds of random things on some image search. i wont go into that. yes i will. unlubricated gay sex. and we decided to do more ghost hunting stuff again soon. and go eat food at the huddle house immediately. which was hugely entertaining. chock full of chris and than and their lovers quarrels. we left there and headed home well after 4am. got home around 6am. and slept in till after 2 today. only to go to work in two hours. and have the fucking auditor and general manager stop by. very fun.

pee. ess. im making you rummage through my photos to see any photos of the mental place, rock city, me, or anything else you may want to see. im tired of editing and whatnot right now.
