So, you're going to have a Luau...
Mood:  energetic
It sounds like a really old pamphlet heading. One of those how to step by step guides on proper operation procedures. I'd love to find one for other things like Finding the Attitude Check thats right for you..., or Putting the smack down is as easy as 1,2,3... If there are such pamphlets, I'm sure that I defy all the rules because there is never a set pattern that I use when performing either or the previously mentioned actions. Yet somehow I still manage to kick ass on the fly, or maybe thats just what I keep telling myself so that I never feel the urge to conform to rules and regulations. Speaking of which I haven't the foggiest idea how to properly put on a Luau. Nathan and I have sort of cut and pasted this thing together and hopefully it will hold. I hope that all our friends will be patient with us if the macaroni salad arrives before the the grill does, or the hosts for that matter. Goodness, well I suppose that if I survive this little summer soiree, I will be entitled to write the book on Luaus on the fly. Thanks to Jerry Ann for the great idea of at least 1 great summer Luau, and honorable mention goes to Lindsey for offering to bring the beer trough. I know this thing will be lots of fun with Lots of friends near by.I can't wait y'all!!!

This is the last official working day of the month. Before you know it July will be reduced to a stain on the rug; that thing that spilled over at your fabulous cocktail party last month that someone conveniently forgot to tell you about and was left to set in and now wouldn't even come out with Ever clear. OK, maybe thats not true, I've heard you can strip the paint off a car with Ever clear. Yikes! So we should all enjoy the wonders of what the 7th month of the year has brought us and if 2004 hasn't been treating you good thus far, fear not, its now more than half over. Let us rejoice in the fact that one of the hottest months of the year has reached its end and hold hands as we pray for more rain and less heat. Oh, Before I forget, I suppose I feel comfortable enough to officially launch my sight. At first I had no idea what I was getting myself into. And sometimes while changing things and scripting seemingly pointless rambles I wondered what the point of it all was, what sort of website would Gummi Joe's Sanity be. Well, its not a meet the family sight, its not a rapid action packed Flash sight, at least not yet, and its not a critical news sight. What it ended up being was a sight for me to epress my perspective on people and things going on, to make myself open to criticism, and to make myself available 24-7 to those who find my sense of humor entertaining. Well I don't know exactly what pigeon hole that gets jammed into, but I'm sore there's one out there. Nevertheless, I feel OK with the direction I've started, and with the help of my good friends Richard (Dick) this sight will drastically improve aesthetically over the coming months. Thanks you to the 7.45 friends of mine who continue to log in daily. Mucho Amor a todos!

7.45
Mood:  vegas lucky
Topic: fame
Ok, I'm totally starting to feel like a celebrity, I have 82 hits so far and I've only been up for 11 days now. Thats an average of 7.45 hits a day. Simply amazing! I know at least 7.45 people that own or have access to a computer. You have no idea how elated I am to be here. All I ever wanted was to be one of the popular girls, and today, I have successfully achieved that status. I guess its all down hill from here though. I'll be followed by the Paparazzi, then I'll be the latest fad in all the teen magazines, quickly followed by My popularity spike on MTV only to be marred by the tabloids exposing my rationale behind my rapid weight gain (accompanied by beached-whale worthy pictures) succeeded by my grave battle with anorexia/bulimia/Coke/Mr.Pibb. And to add insult to injury, they'll dig into my past and resurface all the scorned opposite-sex partner scandals and illegitimate children's that I've worked so hard to detach myself from. Oh woe is me! This world is such an angry Place sometimes. Oh well, At least when the rest of the world comes tumbling down, I know I can always rely on the 7.45 friends that I have locked into some unspoken obligation by mentioning their presence here.
All joking aside, Today was pretty dull. Adding the jokes back in and today was much more palatable. I had another nice day at work with my friends in the pharmacy. I read through oceans of Medicare paperwork and aced a test for proper billing procedures. Add that one to the useless information pile! Then I spent an hour and a half at the gym to maintain my rock body! its more like sponge cake right now actually. Its the first time I've been in like 3 weeks and until I firm up a little, don't be surprised if you see me in public wearing baggy clothing, in fact, I expect compliments on my mu mus!

Just when you think you have a battle plan, that integral piece way at the bottom of the jenga pile gets yanked out and throws everything out of wack!
I'm mostly talking about my daily schedule. It seems that the harder I try to keep it together, the farther apart the pieces get. So if I learn the play by the inverse-wise rules of this tricky little game I may get somewhere. I've said before "if you set your expectations low, you'll seldom be disappointed." But now I think I'll add to it."If you set your expectations high you might be disappointed a lot, but you might be pleasantly surprised once or twice." Now the question is "how much shit are you will to take to get there?" If your anything like my friend Seleana, you'll be doing some major mental gymnastics to get where you want to be. Which reminds me.. Seleana, you've been selected as honorary recipient of Gummi's daily shout out!

Weekend wrap-up!
Mood:  sharp
Richard, I didn't see your phone. Shawna, you and I still got it, everyone in the shack shimmied to our love shack. Nathan, we need to talk. Dick, your so right, I never sleep. Jamie, I'm not a playboy! Really! ok maybe just a little. Travis, your MIA, should we worry?

Mood:  happy
I could have updated yesterday to keep with the consistency, but instead I chose to get smashed with Laurie and friends. By the way, I think that red couches are both sexy and comfortable. (Thank you to Ruth for letting me test out yours). It was definately a trade off but ulitmately the party animal within won. This weekend has been one long fiesta. And yes mother, moderation is the key, but it just seems like the right time to celebrate. I wish I knew what I was celebrating. I can't say for sure, but like my general philosophy for dealing with life, I will go where the wind takes me and kick some ass when I get there. LOL!

So here I am in the middle of the night again, updating my sight. I am really enjoying getting this sight organized. Its a lot of effort, or maybe its really simple and I'm just and idiot. I think thats everyone's secret fear. Well now that Ive exposed the secret there shouldn't be anything to be afraid of. Right friends! Anywho, I still plan on having a grand opening party when I feel I've gotten to a point where I'm satisfied. The rest of today looks good. I'm going to sleep for 5 hours and then go back to work. Then, I'm going to eat a jumbo jack, then I'm going to Kill Bill, and then, I'm going to go see Hally Berry jump from roof to roof in what looks like a plot less sexploitation involving tight leather and cat ears, who could ask for more!

Why is it always at the ungodly hour of the night that I find myself here updating this page? I'll tell you why, its because I would rather be screaming with JASON!, and chit-chatting with the Brians, and having garlic with Danny, and trading glances with Alex, and teasing Ox and Joe, and discussing longterm goals with Chris, and dancing with Paul, and secretly admiring while making pleasant conversation with Richard, and catching up with Thomas, and flirting with Gary and his friends on our way to our respective vehicles. This be your average Wednesday night, but for the summer of 2004, it is. One of the above said something to the effect of "I feel sorry for the people who have spent their whole lives in school. they get out and then they are shocked at this life thing that happens afterward, they just don't know what to do. I think life is so much more valuable". And I really agree with that, though I think lately I've on the live and under indulged my scholastic , but again, its summa'time and things eventually even out in the end.

I just want to make it clear to everyone and anyone who might know me, that if you have seen my website and felt miffed by not even an honorable mention, that both the website and I are in a mutual trial phase at this point. We urge you (you know who you are) to please be patient with us as we work out our creative differences and realize our limitations. Thank You! ^_^
