i have been away as well, can barely check forums and haven't been on ss much either.

yesterday marked the beginning of summer (in louisiana there is no such thing as spring, one week it's 30 degrees the next week it's 100), and so we went driving around with the windows down cranking music, but it was not just cruising, we were searching for people with moving vans outside of their homes. we stopped at a few and asked if they needed a house-sitter (we were dressed relatively nicely and even had bizness cards), most were no's but one family said yes, the man of the house was a dr. lloyd - so he was pretty well off. he had a house in the highland area, which are old houses (1890-1930 were when most were built, I live in a small one myself), and his is a small plantation home. so last night we threw a party, and it was pretty awesome, dr. lloyd has a nice sound system and a pool. he also left a gallon of taaka in the freezer, and so kovalsky and i broke out the cups, and we drank and smoked fine cigars we bought from m.a.'s, which is a fine tobacco store.

i'm also making a transition from illegal money-making to legal moneymaking, i sold the last of my stash and recouped expenses and got two jobs that start when school ends. the first one is a three-week job as a lecturer at a debate workshop, $500 a week. the second one is a runner at a law firm, which pays $6.50 an hour, and i can choose my shift each week (7:00-1:00 or 2:00-9:00).

i have also decided what i am going to do for college. up until 2 months ago, a good ACT score could send you anywhere in louisiana, and since i got a 33, i figured i'd be a shoe-in. and then 2 months ago happened, and suddenly your high school grades figured in. with a 3.0, i missed the 3.2 needed to get alot of money, and so that cuts out centenary and LSU-baton rouge, so i'm going to stay local and attend LSU-shreveport. this is a good decision, though, in retrospect. because one, i will get an apartment with a guy i actually know instead of a random dorm-mate, which means i can sell illegal stuff because i trust this guy, and two, i can stay in shreveport, where i have alot of things i need to do (i'm in a band and sometimes play for another, we're filming a movie, a few friends are starting businesses and i'm helping them etc etc). since hurricane katrina, a ton of new orleans businesses and people have permanently moved up here, and so there's a major boom and it's a good time to do shit here.

so lsu-s it is. could be worse, i could be at a community college, i guess.

pavement has already started his high school legacy, by peeing in an empty bottle of jager he found in my room and selling it to some dumbass freshmen chicks. ah.

have any fun van-related exploits lately?

nothing lately. though the weather around here is starting to warm up. the snow is beginning to melt and such. luckily my basement isn't flooding otherwise i'd be messed. i just got like four hip hop albums and have only listened to the Ugly Duckling one which sounds really classic, no bullshit. lately i've been eating subs at least twice a week and i'm starting to get sick of the subs. the play is ending soon, i got to miss all of my classes today because of it, and it'll give me a lot more free time in which i plan to sleep and do shit all.

my mom wants me to get a job, i'll probably hand out a few resumes or so. she also wants me to get a part time job at the golf course doing landscaping work and such. this morning i had a hot chocolate from the broadway cafe and burned my toungue, it sucked.

i'm super tired and want to watch the amazing race later tonight, so i'll catch ya later.
