I’m Fast and Furious

Current Song: Soul Fly – “Back To The Primitive” –I guess I should start with December 25th, Christmas. Not too shabby, nothing to complain about anyway. I got the usual clothes and money, nothing too exciting but definetly both were very much needed. Not too many exciting things have been happening for the past week, hence the lack of updating. However, yesterday Brooke finally put faith in me and let me drive her Escort. What’s so exciting about this you ask? Two words: STICK SHIFT! Soooooooo much fun. I didn’t even stall that bitch. Then tonight at Erika’s house, Kim let me drive her Jeep, also stick shift. I took it out on the main roads for the first time ever. Now when I drive my LeSabre I feel bored like I’m not getting the whole driving expieriance. Needless to say my next car will be a stick. Tonight is New Years Eve 2001-2002. Plans are as follows: 7 PM dinner at Andiamo Lakefront Bistro in St. Claire Shores. 9 PM (or so) head over to Erin’s house for random acts of partying etc. etc. 11 PM (or so) roll on over to Erika’s for more random acts of partying (etc. etc. etc.) for the rest of the night. I’m sure they’re will be plenty of exciting pictures coming to the webpage soon, following NYE of course so check back soon! Hope you all have had a great 2001 and I hope your 2002 is even better. Peace.

Twas the Night Before Christmas…

Current Song: Linkin Park – “With You” –This is it. Only 3 Hours, 45 minutes until Christmas 2001. Just got back from church, that was exciting. Sat with Melissa and her boyfriend Shawn. I worked for the first time yesterday. It was mad boring but its worth it for the discount. I can’t seem to stop buying those damn AE clothes. Let’s see, I finally finished the DTB Poem for my friends X-Mas gift, it came out pretty good. As a matter of fact you can read it below. Otherwise, I hope you all have a great Christmas!

D.T.B
By: Robert A Nalette III

As high school came to a close, we hoped for the best
We were certainly sick of taking those tests
We all had summer jobs to save up for school
Fourty hours a week, we all felt like fools
They weren’t the best jobs, in fact, they sucked a lot
I drove a golf cart around Sylvan Glen’s parking lot
Erika worked for a spa she made some mad cash
To sit, sell Dermalogica, and wax her mustache
The City of Troy put Mark on the water crew
He didn’t do much, except paint a fire hydrant or two
Lindsey continued her roll as the “Pita Princess”
She liked the people she worked with but hated the buisness
And last but not least, my “brutha,” Ryan
He filed so many papers that he would call me up cryin’

During the week we all busted ass
But when Friday night came we got to spend some of that cash
Where did we gather? The O’Neil Estate
Kathy and Tim worked hard to keep their house looking great
Now all we needed was a place to go
Troy – Not too exciting was kinda slow
We needed a place with excitement, but where could this be?
Oh you know the answer, the great DTB
We were going to get there just as quick as could be
As soon as we decided on RAN3, the Crown Vic, or the Jeep Cherokee

Soon we were driving down Main Street with lights everywhere
We pulled into our parking structure – “Hey look, Stephany’s there!”
We walked all over town then hit up Starbucks
There was a line out the door, it was just our luck
After our coffee we walked back outside
And thats when we saw it, the Lotus, what a phat ride
11:45 was approaching it was about time to cruise
If Ry wasn’t home before midnight Kathy would give him a bruise

Back at the house, we all hugged and said farewell
But tomorrow was another day, with more adventures to be held
A typical summer weekened with RREML; it was a hell of a time
Something I wouldn’t give up for anything, anything of mine.

Report Card

Current Song: Busta Rhymes – “Break Ya Neck” –Today kinda blows. GVSU posted our first semester grades. I ended up getting 3 B’s and one C. I shouldn’t have gottin that C. Most of the time it’s the student’s fault for doing shitty in a class. In this case however I’m putting 100% of the blame on my professor. Shes a brand new hire, doesn’t know how to teach, and is clueless to the world. Yes, she is a moron. Writing 150 consists of all students handing in a portfolio of three pieces of work they think are exceptional. This is the only grade for the entire semester. C- is failing the class. I think this is horse shit. I know my three papers were much, much better than C quality. I honestly think if I had another teacher I would have got a B. Well, I don’t know what I’m doing now. Next semester should be easier. I guess I have some good teachers according to Rate My Professors.com, I hope I need to get this GPA over a 3 point.

AEO

Current Song: Jagged Edge ft. Nelly – “Where The Party At?” –Yesterday I finally got a job! AEO (American Eagle Outfitters) at Oakland Mall. I have no idea how many hours I’ll get and my pay is much less then Office Max but it doesn’t matter, any side cash will work. Things have been going kinda slow lately, not too much going on. I went to the Red Wings game last night vs. Chicago with Lindsey’s Mom, Dad, and bro because LK had to work (sorry hun). It was a dissapointing game, Wings lost 2-0, they are going down hill. One cool thing that happend is that Anna Kournakova was standing about 10 ft. away from us to talk to some friend of hers that was tight. I also saw Shannon from GV and Dave Ball. Upcoming Plans: Unfortuantly, I have a dentist appointement tomorrow bah. Also Tomorrow, Emily is coming up from Monroe to visit Lindsey. We plan on eating lunch at Coney (where else?). After that they are going shopping and I will then wait for EZE to come back from work. Erika, my shopping buddy, is going out w/ me to shop after four. Hopefully soon we will all be going to Canada as well. For NYE me, Linds, Emily, Mark, Ryan, and Erika are all going out to eat. Afterwards, Erin’s house for a parteh, more on that later. Thats about all for now have a good week!

Okay so I’m officially done with my first ever semester of college. What really sucks is that I finished about a week before everyone else so now I’m back in the wonderful city of Troy, by myself, doing nothing. So today I woke up at 11, showered, and went looking for a job. Ya, don’t even ask how that went. Eddie Bauer can blow me and so can Honey Baked Ham whatever, the only promising one so far is New Balance. Anyway, I’m bored out of my mind. Troy really sucks when no one is home besides me. J is too busy working at the GAP. I’m really worried about my grades. I know I bombed my art final, I did have an A in the class now I’m hoping I get a B. If everthing goes “well” I will probably have a 3 point for the first semester. Hopefully next semester I can get a few A’s. A 3 point is what MSU looks for in transfering college students, I hope I get in.
