Jabroner's Daily Description

:D

well as you might already know, heather was here for a couple days and we had a good time. just lounging around and hanging out. it was nice. haven't done that in a long time. so yea, with all this rain around, i've been wanting to go fishing. but soon i shall have my truck back. turns out it was a defective magnetic coil which was not allowing my truck to stay on. who would've thought? anywho, the truck is already fixed and ready to rumble with me on the sand dunes. now i have to beef up some lines and set out some rigs to catch a shark. that's my goal. to catch one before the summer is out.

well i went to another interview for lowe's today. turns out that i purty much have the job pending the results of my drug test. haha they're not going to find anything there. i'm excited about starting a new job. but the new job doesn't start till aug. oh well... i can wait that long. :D i've waited this long, what's a lil more waiting.

Summer school is almost done with. about 10 papers later, i'm waiting to get done with this course already. half the people in that course are about to graduate. makes me feel like a loser cuz i'm not gonna graduate anytime soon. Next session i'm taking art appreciation. should be a nice boring course. a freshman course so yay. easy "a" i'm hoping. that should bring up the GPA if this course doesn't. good thing i'm not taking courses for my gpa... that would suck. i'm just taking them to make up hours for financial aid.

well i'm wanting to go fishing tomorrow afternoon after i get out of my class at 2pm. so if you want to go, drop me a line, mind you I have no truck right now, so i would need a ride... but once i get my truck back next week, i'll be able to go whenever the whim strikes me. :D

~Rock on...

Heather's Gone

well heather left today :( but oh well, she'll be back in august. july's gonna be a long month though. but we had fun while she was here. yesterday we went down to CC. beach and i fished offa the jetty there and caught a nice little 15.5" trout. took that lil guy home and baked it. nothing like fresh fish. well that's all for now, gonna eat lunch and work on some HW. joy.

Heather's Here

Heather finally made it into town... her whole ploy was to make me upset and think that she wasnt' coming and then to get here and "surprise" me. well she made it here, so that's the point.

the weather looks threatening, but no rain. last nite there was alot of thunder and lightning, but no rain. weird. that lightning was impressive though.

My parents are on their way up here b/c i think my dad's just gonna tow my poor truck home to get fixed. poor thing. atleast i know it'll get fixed right. they'll leave tomorrow morning. heather will prolly leave sunday morning. sucks though cuz i have to work tomorrow nite and sunday morning... all freakin day. GG.

well that's all for now, looks like no fishing for me for a while, not while heather is here... don't get me wrong, i love fishing... but not as much as i love spending time with her. so that's all for now. GG and rock on... i'm out for now...

~Rock On...

Been Busy...

been way too busy these past few days. if i'm not at school i'm at work... if i'm not at work i'm at home working on something for school. SS1 is almost over though. so yay to that. i've been wanting to go fishing, but i have no time as of right now. plus with all this lightning i don't wanna go out. if it was just rain, i'd be more than happy to go... but that lightning is the one that'll keep me outta the water.

Heather's suppose to come into town... she was suppose to yesterday but rain kept her from leaving SA. today its not raining... where is she? In SA still...

If she doesnt' come in, then on friday i'm taking off, since i'm off from school and work. so yea... hey chris, i'll shoot you an email if for some reason she doesn't come in, perhaps we could partake in some fishing... as well as some catching. with all this rain water, i'm sure nueces would be a good place as any to start... or for that matter, anywhere you can find freshwater runoff.

so that is all i've been up to recently. i'm still waiting for heather... still... waiting...

~wait on...

weee!

well i just got home from my boss's wedding... wow. it was nice. the bride and groom looked nice as always. but wow. it was alot of fun, a few incidents that perhaps i'll go into later, but right now, just know it was a blast for everyone that was at the "afterparty". ha. sounds weird to say that about a wedding, but yea. it was great.

Friday i didn't get to go fishing like i wanted, certain cirumstances came about that kept me from doing that... but that's ok, cuz when i finally do get out there. it'll be fun. to answer pervious questions, yes i do havea cell # and i'll email it to you so we can get together to get out there and bust up on some trout and reds... perhaps even some flounder. and yes amber i'll make you some badass cheeseburgers as soon as i get up there. then when i burn them, i'll be sure to treat you to a decent meal :D

phil, don't fret, i'll call you soon enough and you'll be happy. oh yes you will... hah then i'm going up to nac and beating you DOWN in some frisbee golf... these corpus winds are helping my game... and wheni get up there, you're going down.

that is all for now, i'll go into details later on when i'm more awake and less asleep. i have work at 2pm tomorrow *today so i'm off to bed, after i get a phone call i'm hoping comes...

~rock on...

:D



all that education for nothing... :*( gotta get ready for work, more later on...

lazy day

well i got up today and went to my interview for lowe's. i think it went fairly well... the interviewer said i'll have a 2nd one which could be good. anyway, nothing much is going on right now. i'm bored and have nothing to do. i work tomorrow, but not till 5. so that means i have nothing to do before hand. also, tomorrow is my boss's bachelor party. he's getting married on saturday, but i doubt i'll be able to go since i have to work till 7, the wedding starts at 7:30, and i have no wheels... so yea, prolly a big negative on both of those.

there... that's all. i think i'm gonna cook burgers tonite. that sounds yummy. cheeseburgers :D well that is all for now, i'm off to do more of what i've been doing... NOTHING.

on the other hand, since i have nothing to do tomorrow, i'm thinking about heading down to fish out behind the university tomorrow... infact, i'm thinking about it so much, that i'm going to do it. so yea, if anyone reads this and wants to go fishing, drop me a line and we'll set something up. i have no ride so i'm going to bus it over there... haha that's right i'm going to use public transportation to take my sorry butt down there. why not? i mean, shiet, its free. better than biking it all the way down there, that's for sure. then worrying about someone stealing my bike... yadda yadda yadda... this is way better :D

~rock on...

Big Day

Well... i finally finished the paper early this morning. woke up, went to biglots to get a soda and then off to the bus stop. got to school, went over to CCH and printed my paper. go tto class, turned it in and watched erin brokovich. left early and stopped off at sunrise mall to apply for Lowe's. came back home, rested/ate/called the mechanic... yea, so much for him being off today. that guy, i swear, pissed me off. 2 days in a row i've been sitting around waiting for him to show to help me out. well fine, w/e, so i got tired of waiting *mind you i told him i'd be home by 3 and call him so he could help me out* i ate, called him by 3:15 and no answer.... called again 4, no answer... called again AFTER I WENT TO OREILLY'S TO PICK UP ANOTHER DISTRIBUTOR CAP B/C HE SCREWED OVER THE NEW ONE I BOUGHT. that's prolly why he's not showing up. but i mean, the least he could do is make a phone call... just common courtesy... no rocket science. so anywho, i got the new cap on and i'll be taking the old one back to orielly's since it had a warranty on it.

now my truck turns on, but doesn't stay on... bleh. now i have to get the timing right, so i'm gonna see if i can find someone up here WHO IS WILLING TO HELP ME OUT. i guess the other guy gave up since he knew i was broke and wasn't going to be making any money off of it. meh, w/e. its on his head, not mine. due to all the stress and heat, plus i took my diabetes meds and worked hard out in the heat, my stomach and blood sugar got messed up. it went real low and so i had to retire before i worked any more on my truck. now my stomach is making all sorts of gurgling noises and feels like something's alive in my stomach. ufff... gonna be a long nite i fear...

~rock on...

finishing work

Yea, i'm finishing up a paper i have to do for my summer class... and yea its not going so well... after getting a great leap on it, i've somehow become snagged. worse than fishing at the jetties type snagged... speaking of...

My dad and mom came up last nite cuz we were trying to get my truck going again. after many failed attempts it was a no go. so after it was decided my battery was dead, we took it to wal mart to see if maybe it was bad. so my dad and i get to the auto part of it, and the lady there was like, ok take the battery over there... mind you she points to the area of the shop where they are working on cars and stuff... so i'm like ok, w/e. so i start going and i hear someone say behind me, "sir can i help you?" (one of the techs there) i'm like, "yea they told me to walk over here and someone would help me with my battery." so the guy, all jerkish grabs my battery and says "i need you to get out of my shop" i was about 2 seconds from jamming my finger into his stupid little "protective goggles". so i made a comment in return... something along the lines of "should've said something before i got back here" and so that put me in a GREAT mood. so i yell at the guy what i wanted to be done with my battery (just test it) and my dad yelled at him that we were going inside the store. so we begin our trek...

i went over to the hygeine products area to pick up shaving stuff, hair stuff, and deodorant <--- we all know how important this is. so since i'm needing razors to shave with, i politely ask the one of the ladies near the dept. if they had the keys to the razor case. in reply i get "no, but i'll page the person who does". great i'm thinking, they'll be along shortly... WRONG. i wait... 5 mins go by... nothing. two other ladies went and asked for assistance in the same razor case. another 10 mins go by... still nothing. the ladies get fed up and left. i stay... b/c i NEED them. so here comes this lady with the keys finally. took me 2 seconds to grab the ones i needed. 15 mins for that?!!? sweet jeebus. anywho, i go back to sporting goods and find my dad wandering the isles... so i pick up some DOA shrimps and some jig heads i needed. we pay and i go back to the automotive dept. where's my battery? since i left it with the guy OUTSIDE, i kinda expected it to be OUTSIDE. much to my shigrin it was INSIDE. wow. nice. so i politely ask the girl inside, can i have my battery? mind you, there are about 12 of them scattered on the floor of the little area where she is... "which one is it?" ummm... just b/c i brought the battery in, doesn't mean i know what the hell it looks like when they all LOOK THE SAME!! so... with my patience wearing thin, i decide to have a little fun with the poor girl. "i think its that one way back there... o wait, sorry that's note it (after she lifted it up). ok, i think that's it there.. no.. o wait its that one next to your foot. yea i'm sur... o wait, no sorry." poor girl. she had to suffer. so the guy that brought the battery in goes, its that one there. the one that was seperated from the group. HA who would've thought... so i grab my battery and learn that its ok. back to my apt. we go.

my dad and i get in and decide that we should not waste the day. being that the last time they were here, the winds were up to 30 mph. and this morning was great. after trying to convince my mom to go (without much success) we decide to hit up the lexington jetties. so we pack up my rods and bait bucket and go. down ocean to the bait shop we go. upon passing the jetties by the colesium, my dad suggested fishing there since neither one of us had ever fished there. so yea ok, we get bait, and upon learning the bait shop there took debit cards, i purchased some live shrimp. joy. things were looking up. so we pull around and park, get down, pass the weinershni... the weiner place and go down the jetty. long walk, or atleast it seemed that way, but finally we get to our spot. we rig up and without much hesitation we have lines in the water. dad gets first fish, small whiting. tried fishing the protected side, but water was real shallow. and that's cuz we went waaaaaay down the jetty. so i decide to free line some shrimp. hook one on and tossed it out, near the rocks and let it drift in close. after about 5 shrimps and no fish, i grabbed this one shrimp that was determined to not be on the hook. i must've dropped that shrimp 6 times and each time i grabbed it again and tried to put it on the hook. FINALLy i get it on the hook and toss it out in the water. i must've dozed off for a bit, but when i tried to reel the line in i noticed it started to take off towards teh rocks... so naturally i set the hook and drag started going out. surprised, i held on and tried to get the fish to come up to atleast get a look at it incase it spit the hook out. nothing yet. wow, this fish has some some weight to it, so i try to horse it away from the rocks, with my puny little 10 lb test. but with much luck it turns out to the bay. so finally i wear the fish down and it came up... HUGE yellow mouth. TROUT. werd. a big trout. so that's when the jitters started up. i got all excited and knew that i HAD i repeat HAD to get my hands on this fish even if it meant falling in the water to do it. luckily i didn't have to do that. and was able to land the fish on one of the rocks. got a little wet in doing so, but not drenched. so that was the excitment of the day. screw getting my truck fixed, if i can catch trout like that, who needs a truck. measured, the fish was 25 anda quarter " with the tail pinched and mouth closed. beautiful fish. so its on its way home to mcallen and a deep fry bath. after being gutted by me of course. i'll let my dad handle the fileting.

so yea, no truck, but i did manage to catch a beautiful fish which happens to be my personal best catch... aside from heather. <<<------- yea, i'm a sap, so what? so as it stands flounder: 21.5" red: 26.25" trout: 25.25" didn't get a weight on it so yea... no weights. so that's how my day went. came home around 3:30 pm and washed up, ate some deer guisado my dad made me and went to work at 5. got out, found out the mechanic didn't show up like HE SAID HE WAS. and yea... not even a phone call... gg. so i was upset to say the least. he said he'd show up tomorrow... we'll see.

that's a bit to read... so i'll leave it at that. gg and

Sunday

Ok, I went to work expecting to be the peon today. well i was surprised and wasn't. no big thing there. but by about 1pm, (mind you, i went in at 11am) i was ready to kill one of the cashiers... his stupid voice over the PA system is by no means any great deal of joy to my ears. so by this time i was ready to go up and bitch slap that fker in his face. why i didn't?? i have no clue. but even teh customers were noticing my disapproval of him on the PA. no big surprise. So i just got home right now. its really hot outside. the bike ride was short, so that's all i'm thankful for right now. joy.

heather's in houston right now, visiting her bro. it'd be nice if she could make a little detour and head this way. but circumstances aren't favorable for that right now. so i'm off to work on my paper and wait for the "mechanic" to work on my truck. hopefully that bad boy will be running right again. we'll see... cuz if its not, uff there's gonna be hell to pay.

~rock on...

weeeee!

woke up late on a weekend for once. lately i haven't had chance to do that. i'm off today so even better. i don't have to be at work in 5 hours. unless they call me in. in which case i might go b/c i have nothing to do. so...

i got the parts for my truck finally, but the guy that can put them in says he can only do it tomorrow. so ... bleh. if i get it running i'm going to the valley and coming back prolly monday nite. it'll be fun. but that's a surprise for the family. since i don't have class on monday due to my instructor's illness.

well that is all for now. i'm gonna eat some left over chink food. o btw, here's a link to heather's e-journal. since she changes them as often as she changes... well w/e it is that she changes often... bleh, forget the analogy. here : Heather's e-Journal

as we say before scrims... GL, HF, Rock On...

just got home

As the title suggests, i just got home from school. got my test back, and found to my horror that i made a "d". not a great way to start the session, but its do-able. i can manage. now that i'm actually there for the classes. meh. Things are purty shitty. i want my truck running so i have something to do besides sit indoors all damn day. "why don't you go to the pool or go out somewhere?" why you ask? why ask why is what i say. but here's an answer to that... IT'S FKIN HOT OUTSIDE. If i go to the pool, i'm gonna bake/boil and if i go anywhere i'll be drenched in sweat before i make it a block down the road. THAT'S FKIN WHY.

anywho... i'm just here, hungry. gonna defrost some chicken i think and throw it in the oven. baked chicken sounds good right now. baked fish sounds even better.... BUT... can't go fishing right now. hell i'm almost tempted to ride my bike down to the oso tonite, camp out down there and fish the morning and ride back home later on. before work that is. but see that's what throws the monkey wrench in my whole plan... work. must like the meddling kids in scooby doo, they foil my attempts at world domination... i mean "finding something to do."

so the next best thing is to listen to Reel Big Fish and picture myself out on the water fishing, catching reds/trout/flounder and laughing at everyone who is watching me catch them. yea, some boring fantasy right? well that's all it takes to keep me entertained. nothing fancy. i'm just glad i only got rained on one day instead of the whole week like the forecast called for. that really would've put me in a chipper mood. tomorrow i get my part from my truck. yay. only bad thing is, i have to pay off my credit card tomorrow too, BOOOO :( meh, its better than nothing i guess. so yea i'm gonna pay most of it off and worry about the rest next pay check. but i'm starving right now, so i think i'm going to get crackin' on the food.

~rock on...

early morning

well i'm up b/c i have to go to oreilly's in a bit to order that friggin part. the past couple of days have flown by, thank god and so now here it is wednesday and i have to get to class at 12. so yea, i'm gonna go for now, dunno how long its gonna take to order that part, shouldn't take too long, but you never know... the cpu's might go down right before i walk in the door again.

~rock on...

will do phil.

so today and yesterday were purty uneventful. yesterday i had a LONG ass day at work... my first 9-5 day. uff... i'd much rather do it on a weekday than weekend. all the idiots come out in droves to buy stuff, tear up the store and harass me. to get stuff that's right in front of them... did i mention i love my job?

heather's still in SA. i wanna see her. but my truck is still dead and i haven't had time to go to Oreilly's to order the part. gfg. but i'll get it done sometime this week, its not like i need the truck RIGHT OF WAY. it'd be nice... but yea.

tomorrow i have to wake up early and go buy my books for my summer session class. time to bust out the dusty credit card. haha i've never used the stupid thing. its still on the paper they sent with it. and that weird snot looking stuff that holds it to the paper.

well that's all for now, i'm gonna see about getting some food. so yea... gg and werd up.

~rock on...

bills bills bills

well i got all my bills paid today. so rock on. now i'm penniless again. but that's ok b/c i just got to see my check for like 10 mins before i lost it all. ha. that's life i guess. all that hard work for nothing. meh...

ontop of all that, i went to oreilly's to see about ordering the part for my truck that i need, but yea, their computers are down and they can't order it for me till tomorrow morning. bah. i was so close to actually getting it done. oh well.

yea, riding a bike out in this 100+ degree weather isn't exactly smart... especially out in the middle of the day like i did. so now i'm just sitting here in front of my computer trying to get that queasy feeling out of my stomach... you know, the one you get when you go out in the hot sun and do extensive manual labor with little water intake. yea that one. so once that goes away i'm gonna get some food in my stomach and maybe relax a little. who knows, i might even go down to the pool for a bit and then come back and shower to go to work. tonite is from 5-930 and tomorrow is a fun day. 9-4. ufff that's all i gotta say to that. hopefully with this next pay check i can go buy some new shoes finally. the ones i have now either stink to high heaven (my vans) or have holes in them (my adidas). oooooooor, someone can paypal me money... even if its .50 cents. c'mon... you know you wanna!

help a poor mexy college student out. i hate when i say that and people tell me, well you work, why don't you buy some? i'm like... cuz i have bills bitches and my work doesn't pay for all of them. oh well enough random babbling, i'm gonnnnna go eat... latez

~rock on...

first day of school

went to class today. it was nice. felt good being back in the classroom... and it didn't even last all that long. the prof wasn't feeling well so she left everyone go after about 40 mins. instead of the 1 hr and 55 mins. nice. so i came home, and on the way stopped at hunan to pick up some chink food. it was good. stayed there to eat and walked the rest of the way home. all in all not a bad day. only thing was i found out my first test is on tuesday already. bleh.

i was thinking about getting my bike ready to go out for some afternoon fishing... but taht's still TBA...

~rock on...

yea...

well i'm not going to SA after all i'm going to be going to summer school instead. joy. i'm not too worried about it, i think it'll give me something to do while heather is gone and i haev nothing to do. i lie, yea there IS something to do. but i have no vehicle to get me around... so there. so does that count as me being stuck with nothing to do unless i walk to work? yea i think so... so back to that...

it seems like you aren't allowed to make a typo anymore. everything is all jacked up. but i still type like a weirdo and get away with it. no one ever understands my "werd" or other mannerisms. eh, fuck em.

people are funny... you can be as nice as possible to them and they'll be nice back, but if they give you a question to answer and you don't give them the answer they want to hear, they get SO bitchy. i'm like, whoa ok. nice...

anywho, nothing i'mtyping is really making any sense to me... i'm hungry. i still have plenty of leftovers and other food, but for some reason i'm not hungry enough to want to eat that right now. i got some more old school RBF songs... like the kids don't like it... i want your gf to be my gf... its koo those are the best songs in the world... reminds me of HS and how depressing it is compared to college... haha they teach you nothing you're ever going to need in college. but hey, you have priorities, like passing the then TAAS and now the tacts or taks or w/e the hell it is. gg state... make more obstacles for students who will have no idea what college is like till they get ass raped by that first test. after that, its all experience.

so yea, there's really nothing to do right now. i thought about going to the pool for a bit, butyea, with the heat index at 110 i'm like... hmmm go swim/boil in the pool OR stay in the nice A/c. i think i'll stay in the a/c. hell i even thought about calling in to work to see if i could work tonite... but they said no... basterds. cuz that would put me over 30 hours for the week. and i don't think they can afford me. :( well in late july i'll have worked there for a year. nice. i'm excited, and it sure doesn't feel like that long. so who knows. we'll see what happens... especially with that new lowe's going up across the street. that would own if i could get a day job there and just work nites at biglots. oo the possibilities... i know for sure i'd be able to pay my own bills then. not that i don't now, but i don't get to pay all of them in full that is... so yea.

anywho, i think i'm done for now. i'm gonna go and... do nothing. so there. latez.
