The DerfJam Chronicles

We're doing a tribute to a couple of CDG employees who passed away this year and we're playing their favorite songs at this year's X-mas Luncheon. One of the songs we're playing is "Let It Be" by The Beatles. Now I was thinking what song is my favorite? I can't think of one song that I listen to over and over.

Growing up, I was listening to everything my parents were listening to. Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Eagles, Freddie Aguilar. etc. I know in 7th grade, Green Day opened my ears to different styles. It always pop, or folk songs, or disco, or whatever that I was listening to. Now I listened to punk, rock, metal, everything of the sort. Today if you looked through my ipod you would find country, jazz, drum 'n bass, pop, punk, rock, metal, hip hop, R&B, and way more different genres.

Someone pick a song for me.....

Tomorrow we leave for Rosarito. We're all comin' in to work early so we can leave early. Me, Ramon, Ronnie, Marcos, Shanel, Karmen and Vanessa. The same people who roll to Strauss. These are my favorite people at work. We're all young (except Ronnie the grandpa) and looking to have fun.

It's gonna be madness. I just wanna see what everyone is like when they're super faded. Cuz we all know the truth comes out when you're faded. I will be bringin' my camera along but only the people on the trip will get to see the pix. I might post some of the sober pix, but I'm anticipating very few of those.

There's this new girl at work, Andie. She has a pretty slammin' body and she dresses all nice everyday. I invited to Rosarito but she already had plans. So I invited her to Strauss next week and she seems up for it. We'll see how faded she gets. Muahahahahaha.

I'm in the X-mas band again at work. This year is gonna be so much funner. I can feel it. I held back a little last year cuz I didn't know how they would respond to my style of play. It's only me and the guitarists that are the same. We have 2 new singers, a new bass player, and another guy who plays keyboard and guitar. I wanted to do all uptemp, rockin' songs but we have alot of old people who work here so we have to put in a couple of old, regular, slow X-mas songs.

I went shopping on Friday and I guess after all the food we ate on Thursday, the shirts I bought had to be one size bigger. Not good. I've actually been munching all week since we had a potluck at work and my cousins came into town and we went to Barona buffet and Thanksgiving and leftovers. Too much leftovers. I think I gained 10 lbs. this week. I stopped weighing myself a while back but I can feel it in my knees. Not good.

It's now 3:22am and I am officially 25 years old. I just got home from a night out with the fellas and it was a damn good night too. Let's just say that we met up with some hunnies and they were some wild ones. So wild that I'm hurting in places I didn't think could hurt. I am extremely dehydrated from the amount of drinking we did and the amount of sweating I did.

So I came home from work yesterday and I was beat. But I was also hungry. So I decided to eat before I did anything else. After I finished eating, the Chargers vs. Colts game was on NFL Replay and I wanted to hear the commentary, since I was at the game, so I watched that. So I was watching the game and I started feeling sleeping, from the food and from being tired/sick. So I went to my room for a little nap. This is probably around 6 or 7pm. I woke up at 1am. Right when I woke up, I saw my camera and knew I messed up bigtime. There goes project 365. I dunno if imma start it back up or what not. I feel a little dejected right now.

So I met with my friend Kiko, who works over at Circle K, and we were shootin' some shit and he asked if I was still kickin' it with Alexis. Alexis is the girl who I spent alot of time with last year. I got a new job and she got a new job so our schedules got off track and we just never had any time when we were both free to go and see one another. I would see her maybe once every couple months or something and then it just faded. I would call and she'd be busy and vice versa. So the calls became less and less frequent. But anyways, back to Kiko. We were talking about Alexis and he asked when was the last time I saw her. I said it's been maybe 6 months or longer. And he said he ran into her recently and apparently she had gotten into an accident. He said her face was all busted and stitched up and she lost all her teeth. He was telling me they had to fly a chopper in to get her to the hospital ASAP. That is so nuts. I feel like an arsehole cuz I never kept in touch with her. I never made the effort. I am an arsehole. =(

...begins today.

Her: "I thought you were gonna pull out?"

*pause*

Me: "I never pull out."


Now if you walked by and just heard that portion of the conversation it would sound a little weird. So what was the conversation really about? I was parked in a tight parking spot and it was hard to get into the passenger side.

Stupid? Yes. But the littlest things never cease to amaze me.

Oh yeah, hi. Don't expect anything from this. I just felt like writing about it. That is all. Move along now. Nothing to see here.
