i went to the home coming dance. i wasted $5 i think. oh well, i didnt even stay the whole time... but i'll get to that...
i woke up at 1030 today. that was sooo cool. i havent been able to do that in like forever. its good not having aikido. i can wake up as damn late as i damn well please. it kicks ass.
at 145, i went to the dentist. it wasnt that bad. i got the usual treatment. x-ray's, flouride, etc. its all good. my teeth are fine. im happy.
then i went to riflery. well, sorta... me and pablo, and andrew, and dolder were filming stuff for pablo and andrews english report on soverenty and nationalism. so they were doing "zapatista" movement stuff. i was Lieutenant Okuno of the Zapatista movement. i was important. i also doubled as camera man and medic. it was so funny. we had this one scene where pablo had to roll down a hill, so he wanted to do a dry run of it. so he goes on the hill by the rifle range and he rolls down it, but when he gets down "OH MY GOD! IT FUCKING HURTS! FUCKING THORNS!" and so we go down to the trainers room. and then as pablo is pulling the thorns out of his arm and hands, andrew is filming him. and when ever he hits a thron hes like "ahhh! that hurts!!!" and then i tell pablo, "here, let me pull em out for you" and then i start my role as zapatista medic.
i finish pulling the thorns out and then were getting ready to go back up to practice the fall again. so pablo decides to practice on the tables in the trainers room. so andrews filming him rolling around on the table and meanwhile pablo is screaming "ahh... it hurts!" cause hes got thorns in his belly and back. and then we go back to the hill.
then pablo decides he needs more practice. so he goes rolling down the hill up to the rifle range. and im filming this time. andrew is beside me w/ the music for the video. we take two shots of this before they decided to go for the real thing. heres the scene. pablo was caught sleeping w/ sgt. tompkison's wife, so pablo, the amreican camera man, is running away from sgt. tompkison. then sgt. tompkison catches up w/ pablo and then beats him up. so then they give me the count down. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... i start to shoot. pablo comes barrelling down the hill, then i pan to andrew who begins the chase of pablo. i'm following behind them and then andrew picks up a sign of some sort to beat pablo down with. hes running like a red neck would to his wife who wont get him a beer. and then they turn a corner and i run to catch up w/ them. as i make the turn, the two of them are still running then pablo falls and andrew begins the beat pablo. im still filming. and then he stops and walks away. end of scene. dang. it was fun. we were all laughing hard at that. it was so cool.
after that i went to the home comming dance. it was messed up, cause we were all supposed to meet at 730. but no one told me nor jenna. so jenna calls me up, "ryan, where are you?" and then we get into abouta 3 minute convo about where we are. and then i realize that jenna is upstairs, not on the sidewalk. so i go up there to meet her. and then we're talking about where blair should be. and we came to the agreement that the at&t guy is blairs boyfriend cause he always answers her cell phone. so we're there till about 8. waiting for blair before we decided to walk around to find her. and then, lo and behold, where was she? she was at the entrance to rumors w/ the rest of them. none of them told us to meet them at the entrance to the ala moana building. frickin blair. and then around 830 we get in. dang, the place sucked. i was talking w/ dennis and dae won the whole night basically. till we left at about 11. me and dennis went to go shoot pool. then we came back and picked up dae won at 1200. and then we went to eat at taino noodles or something. not bad...
after that we went to aloha pool. we played until about 200 and then we left for home. it was fun. i like pool again. i actually won a game against dennis. and almost won a game of cut throat. oh well... theres always next time.
then i got home. that was my day. how was yours?
