I told you I would

I told Bob, Tasha, Tara and Josh that I'd write a post about them so here it is.
Those four are part of a group of anywhere from seven to twelve teenagers who for the last couple of weekends have been lucky enough to be at one of my tables. Well they were lucky the first time, but I was so awesome that they wanted to sit at one of my tables the next two times.
Most of them are in the band at West Valley High School, and they come in after playing at basketball games. The first time they came in they had just come from a game where they beat my alma mater whose fans, unfortunately, had been booing their pep band. Luckily they were amazed by my amazing service and cunning wit (as most people are) so they didn't hold that against me.
So there it is guys. There's your post. This post was kinda lame; definitely not my best work. I promise there's more humor and less lameness to come.

No, not hostile, Hostel

Raise your hand if you've ever seen the movie Hostel.
I'm sorry.
For the rest of you, Hostel is basically an unfunny, unoriginal and gory version of Eurotrip; which is a funny, somewhat original, non-gory version of Hostel.
I think Eli Roth who wrote and directed the movie basically just saw Eurotrip and said, "That would make a great horror movie." Eli was wrong. Dead wrong. OK, just wrong.
In both movies there are two good friends who decide to backpack across Europe, and one of the guys is trying to help the other get over a girlfriend. They go to a few different cites and then to Amsterdam where they have some problems, which leads them to Eastern Europe, specifically Bratislava. From there they have some misadventures and decide to leave.
Both films are aimed at a younger audience, but Hostel is aimed at those who like lots of blood and gore, while Eurotrip is aimed at those who like good movies.
What Hostel is really missing is a really catchy song (like "Scotty Doesn't Know"). With that, a completely different plot, writer and director that movie has a decent amount of potential.
I'm sorry.

Rupert told me to write a post

Well I know I've started to suck at this whole posting thing, so here's my attempt at doing at least a little better:
Just to update everyone who cares (all one of you); I got the guitar that was signed by Brian Bell of Weezer from my awesome girlfriend for my birthday. I also got a brand new four-channel mixing board for christmas from my parents. And best of all, I got a 3.78 GPA for last quarter at Perry Technical Institute, so per the agreement with my parents, they got me the best computer in the history of ever: a MacBook!
I know what some of you long-time PC users are thinking: Macs suck. I was once confused as you are. Up until about a year ago I wondered why anyone would purchase one. I didn't understand why some people who knew a lot more than me would buy a computer that I believed to be inferior. Of course, my opinion was based primarily off of a video a friend showed me on the internet of a guy who for one reason or another didn't like Macs. My opinion was also based off of something that causes a lot of PC users poor opinion of Macs, and that is that I wanted the computer that I had to be the best, so I saw it as superior.
Its ok. You can let your guard down. Steve Jobs and I welcome you to the Mac family.
I have been spending my "free time" playing with Rupert (my MacBook), serving at Shari's, and going to extra school. I get to work 8 pm to 3 am on Fridays and Saturdays, which is really fun, cause the customers are a lot more laid-back then, and I get paid to be entertained by the drunks that barley stumble in between 2 and 3 am. I am also going to Yakima Valley Community College on Tuesday and Wednesday nights for a speech class to get an AAS in Telecommunications Technology.
Right now I'm just killing time before I have to leave for the Tri to go help in the sound booth, cause I got off at 4 this morning and falling asleepusually always leads to waking up late. But I can't think of anything to say, so have a good morning.
