Oh Live Journal... how much I've neglected you. I promise, though, I'll try harder to love you long time. Promise. |

I konw I'm late with this but I'm just posting this because I want it to be here.
So for New Years, me and my friend Carlos went to Ohio to vist our friend Kris.
Summary: First we drive to Zanesville where his parents live and meet up with him there. Play PS2 and sleep over for the night. Next day (December 31st), we drive to Cincinnati to go his house (who he shares with 3-4 other people) and we head up for a party at someone's house, whom they all know. We party hard. I decide to bring along my Robot suit and it was a hit. I drink. A lot. And it's my first time ever. I had about four cans of beers, two shots of wine, a shot of Jim Bean and two shots of Vodka. Good times. We go back to Kris' place and head over to Domino's for some late night munchies. After some collective vomitting, we go to sleep. Next day me and Carlos bid farewell and head back home.
Pics... because sometimes they speak more than words.
this is something I picked up from where I work... a Pulmonary Clinic... yep...
vrooom!!!!!!!!!!
What you don't see is Carlos' raging hard on.
Kris is too sexy for this trip.
Vodka = Robot fuel

STATUS = INTOXICATED.
as you can see, the more drunk I got, the more my face started dissappearing (what's what dancing in a Robot suit does to you)
Kris' band practice room....
Watch out ladies!!!
The end. |

well, classes have ended and break has begun (well, I should've written this last week to be more accurate).
but I ended the semester with a 3.6. I'm quite happy with that since I'll be the first to tell you that I didn't put my 100% into my classes... not even 90%. For a sec, I thought everything was going downhill the last few weeks but I guess not.
So yeah, more to come.... I guess... |

My classes at NOVA begin August 22. I had to change my schedule since originally I was going to take 4/5ths of my classes at the Alexandria campus but if you know anything about the DC area... that traffic is HORRIBLE. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was rated in the top 3 for worst traffic in the entire nation. Anyway, that would've been too much of a hassle since I live pretty far and gas prices... are absolutely crazy. So I rescheduled my classes to other campuses so I'll have my classes on Monday (2 classes), Tuesday (1 class), and Wednesday (2 classes). Should work out well, I hope.
Tomorrow at 9:00 AM, I'll be going in for a job interview to work at Safeway Supermarket. I applied like two months and just got a call today for an interview. But we were in the process of seeking a position at Giant Supermarket... but I'll do Safeway since its nearer. I think the person said I'd be going for Deli assistant. Sounds alright. Frank the Ice Cream Man to Frank the Deli Man.
and all this week I have Behind-the-wheel sessions because I need my drivers liscense by next week (going to school, work and all that). As for a car, we're looking at either a Nissan Sentra or a Toyota Camry. Hopefully, I'll get either one ASAP.
sigh. busy, busy, busy.
anyway, CAMWHORE TIME!
yep. took a few pictures with my shitty webcam last night.

whoa... so I just got a voicemail from someone I never expected to hear from again. Not that it's bad, no, quite the opposite... I just thought I'd never talk to her again and I was sure she had forgotten about me. If you're wondering, yes, I've mentioned her here awhile ago and the situation we were kinda in but... oh well. This is interesting. She moved and I never got her current phone number but she called Mike to ask for my number. She's coming back here for awhile so... I don't know. We'll see what happens.
in other Frank news:
not much going on. I'm gong to take the English placement tests for NOVA and then enroll for classes. Hope I get some good classes still.
What else, what else...
oh, Mike is going to get the NIN tickets on Saturday for the upcoming show at the MCI Center on November 2. Hopefully he can score some GA tickets so we can finally be front row. If we do snag some, I'm going to the venue AT LEAST 8 hours before doors open. I'm taking this very seriously. Sadly, at the Philly show we went to, because Mike had IB testing, we left later than we originally planned and alas, we only made it to the middle of the pit floor. But this time... no joking around. Front row. Nine Inch Fucking Nails. School? I have any classes that day, fuck'em.
so I guess that's it for now... other than trivial stuff. so yep.
seacrest... out! |

the day has finally come. I am now a high school graduate. So yep. Glad that whole experience is over... not that I hated it but being around those sort of people for 4 years straight isn't exactly peachy. but whatever. I'm looking foward, not backwards. Going to Northern Virginia Community in August and then going for a year then transferring out.
So yeah, it's summer and I should be happy as hell. Well, if anything, I don't have to carry the burden I was just a week ago. If you didn't know, I was that close to not graduating. Surprising I know but it was because of one class, my IB Topics class that I was doing horrible in and if I didn't do well in the 4th quater and on the final exam, I would've not recieved the credit and not graduated. Fortunately, I passed (infact, I got the highest score of the entire class on the final exam. go figure.) and went on. Anyway, I should be fucking estatic... out of high school, being 18 years of age, with all my good years infront of me. But I'm not feeling so happy go lucky, at least now. The most obvious contributing factor to this is that I am without a job (that position I was waitng for at Pop's? Yeah, that asshole boss gave it away) and I still don't have a car which really ticks me off. Sure, my parents don't see the harm in buying a $40,000 Lexus SUV but won't even spend fucking more than $2500 (this fact is confirmed) for a car for me to work and to go to school. And that means I can't go anywhere, just to go out and be somewhere other than here. It's not that I hate being here, I just naturally like going out.
but that aside, I feel more lonely than I ever have before. I wish I could put that in less whiney, less angst ridden way but I'd be bullshitting you with one big giant string of euphemisms... and its more to the point. that's nothing new but lately, its becoming more of a big deal to me than before. it bothers me. I have my family and am infiniately greatful to them but other than them, I don't think I'm close with anyone else or have people that I would consider really good friends. There's Mike but he's too pussy whipped to see what is really happening to him and sadly everyone, including his parents, see it. So for now, here's a body snatcher type situation. Then There's Kris who I am more close to than I am with Mike but he's living somewhere else. Other than that, that sums up in my social life. I always keep saying that that the reason I don't have as much real friends is because I was in high school, there's no one to relate to blah blah blah but I'm starting to fear that it will perpuate on even until college. I'm hoping it'll change.
I am alone and it's becoming more real to me. Sure, some of you might post comments with replies such as "aww i'm sorry, you know I'm here for you, Frank"...
but I'm being brutally honest when I say I can't remember the last time someone messaged me on AIM (other than Mike, which was to talk about graduation and stuff). Granted I haven't been on AIM as much as say a month ago but still. I'm not trying to say that none of you care but I'm just pointing out what I see.
hmmm... I probably just need to loosen up. How? I don't know. I'll see. |

went to the Faint/Bright Eyes show yesterday at the 9:30 club.
me and Mike got there early so we got near the front of the line. Bianca and Will eventually showed up and we all went in. We all staked out places in the front row which was what I was aiming for.
The Faint were awesome as usual. That makes it the third time I've seen them. They played some unexpected tunes (In Concert, Let the Posion Spill From Your Throat) and also the classics. I think the Worked Up So Sexual they did was the my favorite out of the three. The crowd wasn't as crazy as last time but then again, I'd say the majority of the people there were 15 year old girls. Yuck.
Anyway, Bright Eyes took the stage and though Im not familiar with his studio work, he and the band put on a great show. It was painfully obvious that Oberst was fucked up something since he was kinda mumbling before each song. Some guys from the Faint joined the live band, the guitarist from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs played guitars and Gretta from Cursive was there, too (She is so goddamn fucking hot). But yeah, awesome show.
and I was so dissapointed last week. I missed the Gang of Four show but couldn't go since no one was willing to with me and I didn't feel like going to DC through the metro alone. Bah. |

1) If you could become any magical being, what would it be?
David Bowie. No, not Labyrinth David Bowie. Just David Bowie.

My first grade class took care of a chinchilla and it was super cute so yeah.
3) If you could pick any religious figure (Buddha, Jesus, Shiva, whatever) to crash at your house for a week or two, who would it be?
I just can't have one of them... I'd get the entire Super Best Friends!

Wet mice.
5) Who do you want to magically be president RIGHT THIS SECOND?!
David Bowie. America would be a much better place with him as the President. We would actually have the right to say that we are the coolest country in the world.

I was tagdeded oh shi
[1] Total number of films I own on DVD/video:
DVD: Around 30, give or take 3. VHS: Lots though I haven't dug them up in awhile
[2] The last film I bought:
Léon aka The Professional
[3] The last film I watched:
Napoleon Dynamite. It was alright.
[4] Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me:
[a] Blade Runner (Definately in my top 5 favorite films of all time. I love it to death. Awesome everything. Just beautiful.)
[b] Léon (Another one in the top 5. This film is ownage beyond ownage. The outstanding performances make the movie, IMO. Jean Reno's character is the biggest walking contradiction ever, Gary Oldman's character is the most evil but fucking coolest villian ever to be show up on celluloid and Natlie Portman delivers the best performance in her career which is sad and great at the same time.)
[c] Fight Club. (I know this shows up on movie lists of every 17-25 year old but it's because IT IS a great film. Lately, this is the movie I've been watching the most, weird since I've owned the DVD for at least 2 years.)
[d] Evil Dead 2. (My favorite out of the "trilogy". I can't say enough awesome things about this movie. And the commentary track (by Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, Greg Nikatero and Scott Spiegel) is probably the best commentary I've ever heard, for serious. Half of the times I've watched it, I've turned on the commentary. It's like sitting through an episode of MST3K but with more techinical insights.)
[e] Zoolander. (I watch this at least once a week, almost like its mandatory. When I do watch it (and I'm by myself), I recite all the lines perfectly word by word... its scary.)
[5] Finally, tag five people to do this meme:
This guy, that girl, that guy, this girl and Kevin Costner. |

I have a couple of photographs to showcase.
Haven't worked on a real project in awhile but I started a new series which originally was going to continue off a previous series (the "Man With No Name" series, for all my fans keeping track tongue.gif) but it evolved into something else, a bit more different, more personal expression involving the model himself.
As of now I only have two photos completely ready and I have three more but I decided to reshoot those three scenes since they're not as good as I hoped (all three have issues with clarity since I was using 100 speed film, which takes a lot of time, and I didn't have a tripod with me and thus they came a bit blurry). And instead of doing fancy shmancy darkroom tricks and manipulations, I decided to take a more traditional approach, focusing on the composition of the images as a whole, the surrounding enviroment and their relationship with the subject.
So yes, the model featured is Germaine, from the other series but as you can see, his face isn't fucked up. tongue.gif Hope you enjoy and there will be more to come.
you can find slightly larger and more detailed copies of it on my deviantart page.
in other news... Had IB exams this week. Have more upcoming IB exams this following week... ugh...
and i'm not feeling too well, mentally. I don't know, just a giant mix of a lot of negatives in my life bothering me right now...
hooray. |

I suppose i owe you guys an update...
school is still sucking. hard. really, other than the upcoming IB exams, everything I'm doing is pointless. I'm going to attend NOVA (the community college) and all I need really is the diploma so I have senioritus ^ infinity. i just can't wait until i graduate high school (8 more weeks)... i really am going to start fresh and won't have the baggage of less than adequate grades to keep holding me down (since college transfers really only look at your current grades). gah.
and i'm probably not going to senior prom. which really is not bumming me out. I honestly could care less though people are telling me to go. unless shirley manson is my date, then I'm not going. waste of money anyway.
i have a cell phone... my mom bought it for me. was kinda unexpected. I never imagined myself as a cell phone guy or whatever. the only reason I have it is that I'm getting my driver's license soon and i'll be out on the road. But with this opportunity, I will promise to make outrageous and rediculous ring tones (my current ringtone is Wham!'s "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" in midi form) and voice mail greetings.
hmmm... what else, what else... my social life is still poo. living 30 minutes (assuming there's no traffic is which like never here) from everyone I know is difficult.
and I bet you're all just dying to ask me, "You have a girlfriend?" The answer, my friends, is no. I don't know if I've given up or not. I'm sure most of you have read the story with Connie and I, which was my attempt at a relationship. Haven't spoken to her in awhile though (then again, none of us have). I haven't been with anything or even fooled around with anyone since October of 2001, which is when I broke up with my last gilfriend. Of course this doesn't seem like a drastically long time but I'm a young male in high school... I'm sure you get the picture. It's not a huge deal but it's been bugging me lately.
at least I've got sweet tarts. <3
seacrest... out. |
