Today is the day of the big Stones show...should be pretty nuts...I can already forsee problems meeting up with my friends. They're driving there and I'm supposed to meet up with them at a subway station...however in a sea of thousands and thousands of people, that could be a little tricky. Of course he has my ticket so if I can't find them I'm fucked! Getting home though, will be way worse than getting up there...450,000 people all filing out at the same time is a recipe for disaster...who knows, maybe we'll end up sleeping in the car?

The Miami Dolphins open training camp today...football season is just around the corner and I couldn't be happier...I love hockey and all but the season is sooooo long, its kind of like a march toward the playoffs. Football, on the other hand, every game is life or death. There's just something that feels more important, more impressive about the NFL than any other sport. So far this year I'm planning on going to two football games...with a friend (Bucs fan) to see Tampa Bay @ New Orleans and then to Buffalo for the Dolphins\Bills game...a live football game is unlike anything else I've ever witnessed...just the number of people and the energy is overwhelming...can't wait.

Went out for lunch with a buddy and ended up taking an extra half an hour than I should, plus drinking about 3/4 of a pitcher, which probably wasn't a good idea seeing as how I had to come back to work and all...............then again, its not like I even do anything anyways, so who's going to notice? HA!

Its been over two weeks since I first started feeling sick and I'm still not really feeling all that much better...maybe I should try taking some medicine or something? nahhhhh

Got rid of my car last night...kind of sad, but I sure as hell won't miss the $420 a month I wasy paying for it. Now I'm driving what was my sister's Acura 1.7EL, and she's driving a new Blazer...sweet deal for me, and the 1.7 isn't really a bad car...got some balls to it.

Next Wednesday is the big Stones show and I still have no idea how we're getting there, how we're getting back or anything...the only thing I'm sure of is it's going to be one gigantic mess...doubt I'll be home until the sun's coming up...originally the plan was to rent a bus but we're all so fucking disorganized that that's not going to happen...probably end up taking the subway up there and trying to find a cab back...the best thing to do would probably just take a seat once the show's over and wait for everyone to file out, then start making our way home...avoid some of the crush of people...ahh well, should be fun regardless.

Went to a buddies' cottage this weekend, was a pretty good time...I'm covered head to toe in mosquito bites though (at least I think they're bites, not poison ivy), hopefully I don't have west nile now. Drank a hell of alot of beer...second night I was there I passed out at 11...apparently they were trying everything to wake me up and I was just totally unconscious...good times!

Going on vacation next week, going to Vegas and then to San Diego to visit my uncle...should be fun, going with my family though so that might put a bit of a damper on things, but still, I think its impossible to not have a good time in Vegas...wonder if I'll be able to slip away to a nudie bar there, although going by myself is pretty pathetic, even for me! My cousin said he might come over from Sacramento which would be very cool...

man do I ever feel sick today, don't know why I came to work today...and our stupid fucking lazy cunt 80 year old receptionist is absolutely no help...its her job to answer the phones, yet I've answered 95% of them today...I really feel like punching her in the face, I know it wouldn't solve anything but man oh man would it make me feel sooooooo much better...maybe I should just quit, not like I have any other prospects though...god damn responsiblity sucks...

test drove a truck last night, a dodger ram 1500...so sweet! have to get rid of my car since I'm getting a nice low interest rate of...9.25%!! Christ, you can get 0% at any of the domestic dealers...not too tough a decision there...yes, I do like my car but I've been jonesing for a truck for a while now, time seems right to strike

I'm a little less sore today. Instead of a sharp pain whenever I move my neck, there's just a constant, dull pain...which is an improvement I suppose. I should really go see a doctor though I think. Where I ran into the tree stump and mangled my leg is still all discoloured, two months later...now with my neck and back and knees, plus I have this mystery sore throat that came out of nowhere, I'm seriously in rough shape...I always hesitate going to see a doctor though because I know they're just going to tell me I need to cut down on my drinking, eat healthier, excercise and all that shit...scary thing is I know all these things but don't really care all that much...I'm probably setting myself up for a whole host of health problems in the not to off future...c'est la vie!

went to see Metallica et al Saturday and I am sooooo sore today, 2 days later! mostly my neck, too much headbanging...my knees are fucked too, standing for 8 hours straight will do that to you...Metallica, as expected, was awesome, even though it took an hour and a half for them to come on stage (sound problems or something)...limp bizkit was surprisingly good, really got the crowd going...didn't see much of linkin park since I was stuck in a massive mob just trying to get a beer, must have waited about half an hour, and then when I got it, couldn't take it into the stands or down to the floor, what the fuck? deftones were pretty good, sometimes was hard to hear though, sound got a little muddled...didn't see mudvayne and don't really care...all in all, a great time

just have to say, I love going to the nudie bar...monday night went to the brass rail here in Toronto and god damn was it ever fun...got a lap dance from this drop-dead gorgeous blonde whose name I can't really remember (Trish or Tricia or something like that)...I'd say she was about a 9 out of 10, perfect tits, tight ass, beautiful smile, eyes you could get lost in....spent a good while talking to her, said she modeled in Japan, lived in LA and Vegas...could have been completely bullshitting me, but really, who cares? Its weird how I can actually have a discussion and be somewhat charming with strippers, but if it was just a regular girl at a bar I'd clam right up...could have something to do with the fact that I'm always inebriated when I go to the rippers, but still.......and its not like I have any grand illusions that I'm going to woo them off their feet and have them fall madly in love with me or anything...and yes, I know they're just trying to suck all the money out of my wallet, but still, its nice having hot women fawning over you for a change............and yes, I do realize I'm extremely pathetic

Metallica in 2 days! Can't fucking wait, even though I'm pretty sure I'm going to die from heat stroke before they even hit the stage! Supposed to be 31 on Saturday (not including the humidity)...if the roof of the skydome is open and the sun is blazing all day, its going to be insanely hot...won't really be able to drink to much, don't really want to either, I'd actually like to be able to remember what goes on...a novel idea, I know
