Dear Journal,

Today was a great day, i'de have to admit. With all these crazy things thats been going on, today was a big stress relieve. blaugh Oh yeah! First, I had to wake up, which wasnt as hard as u would think. My dad was all "Justin, Hurry, lets go driving!" And i was like... "Hell yeah!" so i woke up, got dressed, went downstairs. At that time, my dad was outside, playing in his garage and all his funky gadgets and things like that, so i decided to sit down and play some video games before my mom came home from tennis (so the HW guilt game doesnt kick in).

Ohh, Fable is a good game. Though i've beaten it already, its still enjoyable to play. Anywho, my dad came running back in and told me to come outside quick. I jump off the porched, almost killing myself to see what my dad wanted to show me. He pointed to a big garbage pail near the garage. I was like "Woa!! Is that a squrrel. *looked up* *looks down* *looked around* How the hell.." It appeared to be a garbage pail, filled with water and a drowned squrrel just floating about inside it. My dad looked up at the roof and was like "well, it either had to be the squrrel lost its balance and fell in or he thought he'de find some food in the garbage can.... and died" *stared at eachother*...

After my Pops got rid of the squrrel, we went driving over to chris's shop (a friend of my dads whos a really nice mechanic dude. He strong and hes like a kid. really cool. So, i got used to the stickshift pretty fast, drove it out of the driveway and into the street, got it in first and drove on. I was like Dam, its alot harder to drive than u'de think. Shifting after 1st gear isnt hard, i just had a hard time getting it from nuetral into first and making the car "go". I stalled out like twenty times at one stop light. The people behind me we'rent too happy....

When we got there (yes, i made it without dieing. Ten points for me!) we talked with chris, asked him to see if he could paint and put on the new spoiler on my new car and to see if he was up for some poker tonight. he said yes and my dad got behind the wheel and drove back, teaching me how to drive stick.

Afterwards, i got home, got on the couch, rested a bit, watched some tv, and waited for my mom to come home. She brought home some sandwhiches from the deli, we ate, my cousin came back from, wherever he went to (dun know.. think the YMCA cuz he works there now) and we played some more video games. I ate, got dressed for tennis, then went off to tennis. Dam, those middle aged dude and play like pros! ... I got tired.. but not tired enough!

Later that night, the Vandervorts (meg, kay, and jen) came over and we drank milk with Irish cream Liquor or something like that. It was good. Sweet tasting. After a while it got a little on the sickening side. I felt a nice warming buzz, Jenn looked a little red, kayla looked a little goofy, and megan looked like she drank herself to the verge of being stupid. but it was fun. Shes such a tease, its funny.

Well, I drank, i gambled and i drank some more. It was a good day. After they left, me and my cousin spent a few more hours on video games, and thats about it. ^^ The day was good. Enjoyable till the end.
