Willis's Journal

2:14pm: This is the last you will hear about my website

I feel like I've been jabbering on about my dumb website for the longest time.  This will be the final time I mention it unless something big happens.  So today I'm going to decorate a Christmas tree with my girlfriend when she comes into town.  I went running last night and was nearly hit by a car while doing so.  Mikey and I are staying with my mom for the next couple of days.  He's eye-balling my moms Christmas tree and I'm worried he's going to tip it over.  I really feel like going swimming today.  I think I will take a trip to Francos Athletic Club a little later and take care of some business.  Everyone have a great Monday!

P.S.  If you would like to visit my website the address is www.tylerthomas.net/willis.html

2:21pm: So I'm building a website.
It's taking me forver. I havn't even made a dent yet. I'm just going to make it for personal use to express myself and such. I'll have to see where it takes me.

2:52am: I can't believe I'm turning 20....
Thirteen days from now I will be 20 years old. I can't believe that I won't be a teenager anymore. I don't really know how I feel about it. I really can't wait until I'm 21 so I can buy lottery tickets and margaritas. I went to a Christams Ballet tonight with my girlfriend. I actually enjoy this type of stuff. I think it's great when people can dance together and not screw it up. We had po-boys for dinner and danced in her car to Nelly. She's in love with Nelly. If we ever have children and the child comes out a little darker than intended.....I'll know who the father is haha. Just playing for real. Tomorrow I have to wake up and go to my fathers farm. I'm in need for some cash pronto. I hope everyone is having a great weekend and drinking Kool-Aid. Love you guys.

-Willis.

10:46pm: I saw something awful tonight....
It was absolutely horrible. I was driving my car to the grocery to pick up some water and fruit when I saw a car with its headlights off slowly coming my way. I pulled into the grocery market parking lot and watched the car slowly make its way down the street when I heard the shots of a gun fired. There is a club called On The Eightball directly in front of the market. It's pretty much an all African American club and it's a popular place to socialize. I couldn't make out who was shot because all of the people out front started to run and people were storming out of the club. I immediately called the police to report what had happend and they told me it had already been reported and help was on the way. About 10 minutes later cop cars had the club surrounded and they put someone in the back of the ambulance. I'm thinking about calling Crime Stoppers tomorrow to give a description of the car. It looked like an Oldsmobile Cutlass but I'm not sure. It was a dark color so I can't make out exactly what color it was. I don't think that will help them out. I feel horrible.

1:54am: I finished my stupid website.
I spent a very long time on this webpage and it's a piece of garbage. I really don't care though because it was for fun. I'm going to update my friends website using notepad and dhtml scripts. My head is killing me tonight. I had lunch at 4 in the afternoon before my Spanish class. After Spanish I worked out at the Riley workout center on campus and had an upper body workout. I shouldn't have slacked off last week even though it was Thanksgiving. Well, if you care to view my piece of garbage feel free to do so....Right Here I hope everyone has a lovely Tuesday.

11:40am: I'm the king of wishful thinkin'
Yesterday was my girlfriends birthday. Her family and I went out for sushi at Shogun in New Orleans. It was a very tasty meal. When we made it to her house it was late afternoon so we cut her cake and I gave her gifts. I bought her Mean Girls, Eurotrip, 13 going on 30, A guitar purse that she really wanted, and a spa package. On Saturday I also gave her a Tommy Hilfiger "peacoat" and a Rudolph doll from Build-A-Bear. After my girlfriend left for her university I decided to visit my family. We had bbq chicken and I helped my step dad move Christmas boxes from storage. After our brief visit we returned to New Orleans where I spent 4 hours working on a website I'm building. Now I'm getting dressed for class and trying to prepare some sort of breakfast for Mikey and I. I will then run to my class because I'm going to be late if not. I wish you all a wonderful week.

P.S. I went to have my hair cut over the break and it looks absolutely horrible. You won't see any pictures from me for a couple months haha!

12:45am: My baby takes the mornin' train, she works from 9-5 and then.

I brought my girlfriend out to eat at Bella Luna tonight. It was the perfect evening. I let her wear my coat when we got out of the taxi because it's starting to get chili outside. As we were walking inside we saw a huge party of people come outside, that were just in Bella Luna at a wedding meal. The bride was on the roof of the restaurant with her husband getting ready to throw the bouquet of flowers. We watched them for a while then went inside the restaurant to be seated. I requested a seat by the windows that overlooks the Mississippi River. The food was wonderful and the service was outstanding. We both left stuffed and very happy. The meal at Bella Luna was pricey but it's well worth it to see her smile. I'm exhausted.

 Here is what we had:

Her:

Appetizer:  Bella Luna’s Fried Green Tomatoes.

Salad:  Mixed Greens tossed with Sun-dried Cranberry Vinaigrette topped with Bleu Cheese, Julienned Pears and Candied Pecans.

Entree:  Steamed Maine Lobster Tossed with Calamari Ink Pasta, Roma Tomatoes, Basil Chiffonade, Caramelized Onions and Asiago Cheese.

Dessert: A piece of chocolate tart with raspberry filling.  A cappuccino.

Me:

Appetizer:  Bella Luna’s Fried Green Tomatoes.  We share..how cute :)

Salad:  French Market Farmer’s Salad of Assorted Baby Greens topped with Garlic Croutons

Entree:  Grilled #1 Yellowfin Tuna with Louisiana Crawfish Tails, Red Skinned Potatoes and White Truffle Oil.

Dessert: A piece of key-lime pie.  A cappuccino.

11:32pm: I lost the shopping battle.....but I won the retard award.
Seriously, why do we do this to ourselves? Every year on the day after Thanksgiving people pack into their cars like sardins to be part of the most busy shopping day of the year. It's brutal. Best Buy was having a great sale on DVD's if you made it to the store before noon. When we reached Best Buy there were people parking illegally all over. I thought it would be the right thing just to look for a spot in the parking lot and that payed off. Right as I pull up a guy backs out and I get an awesome spot right in front of the store. I bought everything that I needed for half price. The lines were moving like drunk baby seals. **Give a toothless grin**

My girlfriend really wanted a nice jacket for the winter so we searched for one. We found a very nice Tommy Hilfiger "Peacoat" that she loved so I bought it for her. We then went to Build-A-Bear and built her a Rudolph. She's a huge fan of the movie and it made her very happy.

We decided to grab a bite at the food court which was crazy because of the amount of hungry people. We decided upon Smoothie King because it's a portable meal in a cup.....and it had the shortest line! As I was sitting down I put my hand on the chair to lower my ass down in it and the chair slipped out from under me and I busted my ass...in front of thousands of people in the food court. Talk about funny haha! It takes a lot to embarrass me but I was very rosy and felt like a short bus rider. The lady sitting at the table to my left gave me a snooty look like...you idiot...you are such a waste of life get out of my "too-good" vision. I simply smiled, picked my chair up, and swallowed my smoothie down.

I've been awake for 18 hours now so I'm very tired. I'm eating BBQ chicken and drinking hot chocolate. Tomorrow I'm going to work on my fathers farm and feed his horses. Good times....! Smile everyone and have a grand day! <3 Willis.

Current Mood: geeky

1:55am: Pardon me while I burst into flames...
So today was Thanksgiving and I was starvin' like Marvin. I didn't eat a breakfast because I wanted to be really hungry for lunch....wrong....BAD idea! My girlfriends mom tried a new way of cooking the turkey that a friend told her. What her friend didn't tell her was how long the Turkey needed to cook for. The recipe wasn't much different than the usual one she cooked with so she figured it would be about the same time...big mistake. It was about a 2 hour cooking difference. By the time dinner was on the table it was late evening and everyone was starving.

While the turkey was cooking I decided it would be a great idea to put up Christmas lights for her family. Her dad is on crutches so he won't be able to do it this year. Everything started off wonderful. I spent 30 minutes just untangling lights. I was putting lights over some bushes in the front yard when I decided to test the lights on an outside outlet. For some strange reason the outlet was having serious problems and when I put my hand near it, it started to electrocute me. For ten seconds I was frozen in time with a pain going threw my entire body. Somehow I managed to remove my hand from the outlet. I seriously started to laugh.

I then climbed on the roof to start working there. After 3 hours on the roof a fuse burned and all the lights went blank. I replaced the fuses and finally got everything situated the way I wanted besides one extension cord that was dangling off the side of the house. I decided I wanted to use the staple gun to pin the extension cord and make it more hidden. My hand slipped while I was stretching out trying to staple it and when I shot the staple it pierced the cord and set it and my hand on fire. I screamed like a girl and fell to the ground. All and all I had a very funny Thanksgiving. :D

1:11am: I've got jungle fever. He's got jungle fevor.b vjnmk
Ok, so I went shoping for my gf today. She doesn't have a clue what I bought her or what I'm doing for her the night of her birthday. I don't want to give anything away to anybody including you guys just in case she found this. I know I should probably convert to a friends only journal but I like the fact that anyone can view what I write. I will tell you all about her birthday sunday after she leaves to go home to her college. I'm off for Thanksgiving break! Tomorrow I'm driving to my moms house to spend the rest of the week/weekend with family. I will probably work on my fathers farm Friday ugh....it's all gravy though. Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving. <3

11:55pm: Classes are being cancled....yeeha!
Well I woke up extra early to go to class to find it had been cancled. It seems my professors are just as excited about Thanksgiving break as I am. I had an early lunch and decided to come home and chill. I layed down and had an hours nap before I went for a 5 mile run. I can't believe it's still so warm here. I'm starting to question if winter will ever come. My Saints were blown out last night by the Denver, Broncos...ugh. So much for going to the playoffs. I look like a rugged person...or so my girlfriend says. My cheek bones are more defined now. I think it's because of all the running and weight training. It reminds me of "PREY" a book by Michael Crichton when the main characters wife is looking more rugged. She is very turned off my her husband and her look is almost animal like. Later in the book he finds out that she was having crazy problems at her lab where these miniature cameras made by the government were flying around and killing people. The book is pretty good but whenever I hear the word rugged it reminds me of her character description. I ate a lot for dinner tonight. I really pigged out. I will hit the gym tomorrow after my morning class and then go shop for Christmas gifts. Well Everyone have a wonderful Tuesday. Take care.

2:29am: When I feel like giving up....WOOOHOOOO!
Today was a wonderful day. My spanish professor suggested putting me in honors spanish next semester. I think I might go along with it! The weather was perfect today. It wasn't too hot and it wasn't too cold. I really enjoy being able to wear shorts and a t-shirt and walk around comfortably. I'm getting my hair cut this saturday....my hair is soooo long now. I could seriously put it in a pony tail if I wanted to. I'm getting it cut short again. It's just hair so if I don't like it, it will grow back. I was walking home from class when I saw two squirrels chasing each other. The one in persuit of the other seemed furious and out to hurt the other squirrel. I stoped everything I was doing and yelled up at them in the tree. I seriously felt rediculous but I didn't want one of them to fall on the concrete. I keep thinking about turkey. I took some photos of myself today to see the progress I've made over the past month of working out. I'm very happy with the results. I don't wanna share the pictures yet because I feel I can do a bit better. I'm craving turkey. I can't wait for Thanksgiving. I'm not sure if my parents will be home so I might crash at my girlfriends house and eat there if they have enough food to feed me. I get my calc test back tomorrow and I'm hoping I at least did decent. That test was rediculous though. This semester went by so fast it's amazing. Well Everyone have a wonderful weekend <3 Willis.

1:17am: I'm back again......Yessum'
Well I've deprived this journal like a mother. I feel I need to applogize to anyone who is crazy enough to waste time reading it. I've spent all of yesterday and today studying for a test that I will most likely fail tomorrow morning. I have so much on my mind right now. I just can't wait until the test is over tomorrow so I can finally relax. I'm looking foward to Thanksgiving break. I think it's pretty messed up that the media pretty much looks straight past Thanksgiving to Christmas. I can't believe people are already putting up lights and buying trees. I just finished watching Who's the Boss? on Nick and Nite. Tony finally told his boss Angela that he loved her. I thought it was a very sweet episode. I'm a huge Nick at Nite fan... I need to find a T-shirt that says Nick at Nite.....so I can be super nerdy and wear it around. I saw the incredibles for a second time this weekend. I'm a huge fan of that movie. I really wish my girlfriend understood how much I love her. ......I just don't know anymore.

10:05pm: Woke up this mornin' got myself a gun....cupcake.
First off I would love to say HAPPY HALLOWEEN to everyone! Tonight I had to work on a power point presentation that is due in the morning. I hate having homework on the weekends especially when a great day like halloween is involved. I'm watching Scream right now and can't stop laughing. I think at one point I would have actually thought this was scary but now it's just funny. I've been working out incredibly and looking in the mirror I can already tell the difference. I ate a bunch of candy this weekend! I really needed to get away from home tonight because my cat was tearing my moms house apart and there were hershey chocolate bars laying everywhere. I havn't had a soda in over 3 weeks now and my skin seems so much better. I didn't have bad skin before but there is just something that this water is doing. I'm wearing a sweater and it's 80 degrees outside. My mom thinks I'm crazy and she's really worried about me. I'm more worried about her though. I'm so happy the Pittsburgh Steelers won today! I am a big fan of their program and I'm so happy they beat the Patriots. Well I need to go feed Mikey and watch some great horror movies. I always get dissapointed when they quit showing the horror movies shortly after midnight pfft. Have a wonderful night everyone.

10:40pm: I'm so mellow.
I worked by butt off today in the gym. I'm lifting so much weight now it's scary. I'm feeling so much more energetic with every workout. I hurt my ankle yesterday but it didn't slow me down one bit when I went running today. I'm going to post a before and after picture near the end of this month....maybee it will be inspiration for some people to get into shape? ...maybee not but who knows? Some days I fly some days I soar......cause I'm bigger than my body....bigger than my body.....bigger than my body now. That's from John Mayer - Bigger than my body. This may sound homosexual but I'm in love with him and his music. I think he's absolutely incredible. I love the stuff that he sings in bars and is just recorded..he's just amazing. Tomorrow I will run 8 miles in Audubon park after my class in the morning. Tomorrow will be a long and lonely night....maybee I should go to the movies or something? My girlfriend is going on a "retreat" with the cast from her play. I hope she has a good time and stays safe. Shrek 2 comes out on DVD Nov 5th. I really liked that movie.

<3 to all.

Current Mood: artistic

11:23pm: I'm soooooo caught up.
Well this weekend was pretty fun. I didn't do much of anything on friday night but work out and run 8 miles in audubon park. Saturday I woke up early and drove to my girlfriends college to watch the LSU tigers play a small school. To my surprise and excitment the small school was actually playing the game of their lives and made it an incredibly fun game for me to watch. I saw all of the pomping and neat stuff at LSU. Tonight for dinner i'm having tiny chicken burgers and sugar cookies. I watched SNL last night and saw Ashley Simpsons on stage mess up. I don't think it was that big of a deal but I'm sure the media and others will blow it up big time. I think she's a pretty good singer...not as good as her sister of course...but she is still decent. I have a stomach ache right now and I'm drinking Diet Sprite. I'm so happy they came out with diet Sprite. It is so damn tasty and has less of the bad stuff that I crave from regular sprite.

Well now I'm going to go eat some chicken burgers and munch on sugar cookies. Halloween is right around the corner and I'm so happy! <3.

6:07pm: Burnin' 90's music is fun.
I've been burning old 90's song onto CD's. It's so much fun! I went for sushi friday night with Courtney and had two orders of crawfish rolls with extra wasabi. Saturday I drove Courtney to her play rehersal and planed on studying in the library on her campus. They threw me out of the library at 4 o' clock so I only was able to study for an hour. I had subway shortly after that and was reading the paper. The headlines read that one of the French teachers at my girlfriends university murdered his wife last friday night and left her in the tub dead before he called the police. Yikes eh'.

I spent today going over lines with my girlfriend for her play. I had to drive to walgreens to have pictures made for her for the program that they give out before the play. I'm excited for her...but there is one thing. She has to kiss another guy in the play. No tounge but a real kiss on the lips. I know it's childish to get upset over something like that but I am. I know she doesn't have feelings for the guy but I'm going to have to watch my girlfriend kiss another guy 6 times before the play is over. Maybee right before they kiss I should throw my shoe on stage and say BACK OFF FUCKER! haha. It's all gravy. Everyone have a wonderful day. I'm off to finish a project.

8:32pm: I want you to take me out.....!
Songs stuck in my head. Today was a wild one. I lifted weights early this morning. I'm as strong as a monkey drinking soup with crackers crumbled in it. After workin' out I went to class which was very boring.... I then went to Audubon Park and ran my usual 5 miles. The weather was a little better today, no rain! I find when I'm running I think about nothing..I think that's why I love it so much.

I hate when I'm running next to housing and a dog jumps up at the fence and scares the jesus out of me. Today for instance I ran past a Elementary school where kids were crossing the road to get to school. Right as I'm running past the school a damn dog jumps up and scares me which makes me stumble into the street......can you say, "You looked like a damn fool." Oh well, thats what makes life fun....the unknown. Tommorow I have to go buy my frogs some food and go grocery shopping... fun fun. I love having my own place and wouldn't give it up for anything....well.....maybee a Klondike bar.

3:58pm: I've done nothing productive all day.....My girlfriends fish died this morning that I was taking care of while she was away. I'm bumbed out and Don't want do do a damn thing.... I have not had anything to eat all day and I don't feel hungry. The only thing making me smile today is watching Mikey sleep...bless him.

It's raining pretty badly right now and I'm getting ready to travel to my mothers house. I buried Mr. Bubbajangles in the back yard. It was raining outside and I dug a hole deep enough to stick the coffin I made for him. I put him in some tissue then put the tissue in ziplock plastic bag. I then put the ziplock bag inside of a 20oz. water bottle. I put a flower where I buried him. I tried to save him this morning when I saw something was wrong with him. I just feel so bad about the whole thing. My girlfriend isn't very upset at all. She's not going to buy another fish now. Sigh....



My entire day is blah. I had such a great friday....this is such a bummer.

8:40pm: Friday nights allright!
I want some of those ready to bake Pilsburry Halloween cookies! Wow what a long night this is. I ran a mile to workout at my schools fitness club. I did an upper body workout. After that I went to the Bruff Commons for dinner and ate more food than I've ever had in my entire life. Cookies...mmm.


Ghost

Pumpkins......mmmmmmmmmm

I drew a picture of my girlfriend tonight that I'm going to give her when she returns from San Diego. I spent 3 hours shading her upper lip....haha. I'm going to go play some Master of Orion 2 and drink Sprite the rest of the night. Yeeha!


SMILE....!

1:02pm: It's raining it's.............ahhhh!
It's rained every day this week. It only rains briefly but it's enough to soak you. I walk to school so every day this week I've come home wet. I want to work out but I feel so damn lazy today. I want to curl up into a ball on my bed and leave the world behind. Courtney called me from San Diego, California to tell me how wonderful it is there. She says the weather is beautiful and she had a massage this morning at her hotels spa! Jealous.




Mikey keeps going into my kitchen sink and sleeping there! I don't know why he enjoys sleeping in the sink. Crazy cat! I love him to death though. Well I'm going to try and do something productive with my day.

2:05am: Bebo mi agua!
I'm so thirsty. Have you ever made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that was just too peanutbuttery. I thought I was going to choke. I washed it down with some water and now I'm uber thirsty. Tommorow I'm going to turn in a bunch of old college books for cash. I get all of my test grades back tommorow that I took last week.....I'm nervous! Oh well I did the best I could.

Tommorow I'm going shopping for roses and candles. I want to make a romantic dinner when Courtney comes to stay the night wednesday. I think I will take her to the french quarter to listen to live jazz music and buy some fudge! I really feel Courtney is my "One." I can see myself with her 10 years from now raising a family. I'm so glad to be alive. It's bedtime for Willis!

3:40am: Mikey got his testies removed today. My mom druged him up big time before performing surgery on him. Right after he had his shot he walked over to the windows overlooking the water and his head started to twitch. He then turned to me and I said, "Hey mikey you ok babe?" He then tried to walk to me and fell over and then was out like a light. Poor guy. He's in my room now eating food because I had to keep food from him for over 12 hours during surgery.

I wrote some poetry today. I don't share my poetry online anymore even if I think it's good. If I know someone well enough I will let them read it but other than that I keep all of my poetry to myself. I watched some college football today that was a huge letdown. My girlfriend came over and we burned some CD's for her trip to San Diego next week. She's staying the night this Wednesday and I'm bringing her to the airport. I'm going to try and plan something romantic for us to do Wednesday night. Well Mikey is crying now so I must tend to him. Later everyone have a wonderful sunday!

2:22am: Olive Garden Anyone?
Tonight My girlfriend and I went to The Olive Garden for dinner. I had the never-ending pasta bowl and she had the eggplant. I love their salad and bread sticks. The Olive Garden we went to was a new location and we had horrible service. It was 20 minutes before we were served our drinks and then we ordered an appetizer. The guy brought out our entrees so my girlfriend and I thought....hmm well he must have forgotten it. I'm half way through eating my entree and becoming stuffed very quickly when he brings the appetizer to our table and says did you guys order this? Wtf? I didn't want any trouble so I said....yes thank you. I felt bad for the guy because it's a new store and he obviously didn't have past experience. We then decided to go get ice cream at Marble Slab which serves incredible home made ice cream.

My girlfriend walks in and the girl behind the counter asked her what she wanted and my girlfriend "Courtney" said, "I will have dream sickle with chopped strawberries please" and the employee just stood there literally silent for 5 seconds with mouth half opened just looking at my girlfriend. It was very rude and strange. The girl then starts to make Courtnys ice cream while I spot what I want. She asked me what I wanted and I said, "I want Mango mixed with chopped strawberries please." She just stood there looking at me like she did my girlfriend and I had enough of her shit. I asked her if something was wrong and she said, "No,......Nothing is wrong at all it's just been a long night sorry." We had this little coupon with us that they stamp every time you go into the store and buy something which only needed 2 more stamps for a free ice cream. My girlfriend wanted to get her brother some ice cream so we figured we could both get a stamp with our purchases and get her brother a free ice cream. I told the girl her brothers order and after she started to charge me for the ice cream. I told her about the coupon and asked her to stamp it and then she says, "Sorry even though your card is full you can't fill it up while you are here and get free ice cream you will have to do it next time you come in. I said, "What are you talking about I've never heard anything so ridiculous. So you are saying that if I leave now and come back in 5 minutes you will then give me the ice cream?" The employee then gets a smirk and says, "Fine I will let it slide for this once only." I sarcastically said, "Thank you very much, I really appreciate all your help." Like I did something wrong! Some people need to be fired. Besides this my night was wonderful.

Adios Everyone.

11:57am: Break 'dis, shake 'dis, Mony, Mony?
Listening to 80's music in the morning always gets me movin'. I watched the trailer for The Grudge last night staring Sarah Michelle Gellar. Looks horrifying and I can't wait. I woke up with some awful scratchs on my arm from Mikey. He likes to sneak them in on me while I sleep. I had Burger King for dinner last night **drool**. I love their chicken sandwichs but dislike everything else. Well I have class so I can only write breifly. Have a wonderful day EVERYONE!
