Last night Dan and I saw Garden State for the second time. Everyone should see Garden State. At Pekin students get in for four dollars, so you have no reason not to go. It says everything about how I feel about...everything. And I think there's something in there for everyone to relate to, especially at these times ( Read more... )

So this morning my mom woke me up telling me to get out of bed or else I’d be late to Eureka. Getting up at 7:30 in the morning is the telltale sign that summer is dead. I chased some Dayquil with a cup of coffee and went on my merry way. I arrived at the courthouse around 9, at which point I was instructed to sit in the courtroom and wait for ( Read more... )

Today I realized that God, Allah, Yaweh, Buddha, or whoever is controlling the cosmos has a deep hatred for me. I know this sounds harsh and you probably don't believe me, but ya know what fuck you. It's true. There are far too many coincidences in my life for it not to be true. For example, today I was out buying books for school tomorrow when ( Read more... )

So Friday night I went to Steak n Shake with Ben, Willie, Steffan, Aaron, and Dan. While we were there Norm showed up with his new girlfriend. You could see the terror in this man's eyes when he saw that we were there. If I had been Norm I would've taken my girlfriend and left immediately. Despite Dan and I begging them not to, Steffan and ( Read more... )

Saw AVP tonight...ugggggh....it was so bad it was hilarious. I guess that's better than it being so bad it was awful. I got a Foto-Fun Strip with Maubauch and Jason though, so that was pretty cool I guess ( Read more... )

I am going to kill the cast of The Today Show. One day everyone will be gathered around my house, watching as the authorities drag me outside and into the back of a squad car. Then after they take me away, everyone will stand around scratching their heads, asking themselves, "Why did Joey do this? Why did he snap ( Read more... )

Despite the fact that several past attempts have failed miserably, I have started a written journal. I think it's going to work this time because I actually have important things to say, as opposed to my last written journal, my self-proclaimed auto-biography The Life and Times of Joey Fandel. So I'll still use my friend the livejournal for ( Read more... )

Dan came back from Florida this past Sunday afternoon. The two of us went to Chili's on University, where we talked about the scary point we're at in our lives. This time last year we had the security that we would go through another year of High School, talk to the same people, hang out with the same people, and do the same things. Now who ( Read more... )

Tonight had its highs and lows. I went with Steffan and Tony to the East Peoria legion hall because afterwards they were going to see a movie. We were at Wendy's having a good time when some ugly manager bitch came out and told everyone to leave because no one was buying anything. To this Tony remarked that there was no one in Wendy's anyway, ( Read more... )

So it's six o'clock in the morning and I have yet to go to sleep. I haven't been out doing stuff with anyone, as is usually the case when I'm up this late. Honestly, I tried to go to sleep around one in the morning. So as I sit here eating microwaved chicken and key lime pie with When Harry Met Sally playing in the background, I try to figure ( Read more... )
