I haven't posted an entry in awhile. Things have been pretty excellent, lately. I just went to Virginia this past weekend with Jordan and Damien and hung out with a bunch of cool people. My birthday is this Saturday. 22 seems so old. 21 was new and exciting, but I can't believe it's already been a year since that.

Also, I'm sick. A lot of my friends were getting sick the past few weeks, but right when everyone was starting to get better, I started to get sick. I felt REALLY bad Sunday night, but I'm already starting to feel better so I hope that all goes away by the time my birthday comes around (even more hopefully by Thursday when Raeven, Mike, and Jess come down).

On a more comedic note, my HD FS teacher is dumb.

Dec. 4th, 2008 @ 03:45 pm McDonald's no longer carries the Double Cheeseburger
Current Location: Not McDonald's
Current Mood: infuriated
Current Music: Stomach growling
8:46 PM
So there I was. Being productive and completing a final team project for one of my 300-level classes a full week earlier than it was due. Upon finishing the last portion of the final report, me and my chums decided we would go out to McDonald's and grab some delicious and inexpensive food as some sort of victory meal.

9:02 PM
We arrived at McDonald's. As I walked in, I caught a whiff of the delicious and familiar McDonald's smells and saw bright and cheery faces as I walked through. It seemed just like any other typical McDonald's trip. However, I was about to find out that something was TERRIBLY wrong. This was not to be a typical McDonald's trip at all.

9:03 PM
I went up to the register and prepared to order my usual meal consisting of two plain double cheeseburgers, large fries, and small soda. As the employee working the cash register said "I can help whoever's next", I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach. Something was not right. I hesitated for a moment, then shrugged it off and began to say my order. I thought to myself, "I'm probably just paranoid, right?" Wrong.

I was cut off immediately after I mentioned two plain double cheeseburgers by a quick "Oh, we don't carry those anymore." I panicked and looked around in disbelief. The bright, cheery faces I had seen earlier had warped to demonic and frightening faces. The room started spinning. This had to be some sort of nightmare! However, one glance at the dollar menu confirmed my greatest fear.

The Double Cheeseburger was nowhere to be found.

Instead, she told me she could sell me two "McDoubles" instead. What is a McDouble, you may ask? I wondered the very same thing, though I knew that whatever it was could never replace the double cheeseburger I had desired. She quickly explained to me that it is just like a double cheeseburger, except with a different name and one less piece of cheese. I groaned and stammered, but finally caved in and told her I'll just have those instead.

9:04 PM
I had just completed my order, and saw the next person in line go to the register. I saw the anguish and torment he went through as he too tried to order a double cheeseburger. I felt like reaching out for comfort. He needed to know that I felt his pain. I felt his sorrow. After all, it wasn't too long ago that I was in the same position as he was. But I couldn't find the words to help. I merely stood by and watched an innocent man's hopes and dreams become dashed and replaced by McDouble's. When will it end? When will this torture stop?

I don't know what to believe in anymore.

Nov. 10th, 2008 @ 08:55 pm I just had probably the worst service ever at a KFC/AW
Okay, so future baby Dave gave me $50 worth of free KFC over the weekend, so I went out to the KFC/AW in State College to get some free food. However, I had pretty much the worst service I have ever had at a fast food eating establishment.

I got there, and knew already that I wanted to get a Mashed Potato Bowl combo, side of Potato Wedges, and a Biscuit, so I didn't have to spend time looking at the menu. However, nobody was at the counter. I waited for about two minutes, and I hear one of the employees say something like "RENE, YOU GOT CUSTOMERS AT DA COUNTER" (the person talking was obviously black). Anyway, I hear a voice from the back say "Okay!". Another two minutes go by, and nobody is at the counter still. I hear the same employee yell at her to get to the counter and she's like "what?". "GET TO THE COUNTER!" "Oh, okay". FINALLY this short skinny blonde girl (probably about 18 years old or so, and looking very disgruntled to be there) comes to the register.

There are two registers there. One on the right side of the counter, and one at the left side of the counter. I had been standing in front of the one on the right side. She goes over to the left side register, and then motions at me as if to say "I'm over here, stupid, so come over here to order." So I go over there and order my food. The total comes to $7.67, but the screen on the front of the register shows some special deal where I can get a second biscuit at a discount for a total of $8. The girl asks me "oh, do you want that deal?"

I think about it, and start to say "hmmm, okay!". However, right when I started the "hmmm" part, she just says "oh, I already closed the thing." There goes having two biscuits. THEN, one thing I really don't like about fast food people is when they give you your receipt and then say nothing. I was expecting a "have a nice day!" or something similar. Anyway, she gave me my receipt and I just said "thanks!" but instead of saying "you're welcome!" she just glared at me. Whatever, screw that place. My food was delicious though. That was the only highlight of this story.

Hey, has anyone here seen "Matt Damon Rips Sarah Palin"? It's a silly popular Youtube video where Matt Damon sounds like a complete idiot and criticizes (read: completely makes up "facts" about) Sarah Palin and pretends he knows about politics.



Anyway my dad made a hilarious video in response to that one.

Today was pretty uneventful. I took an online quiz with Josh and I got a 100% and he got a 93% because his had a different last question than me.

Then I played DDR at this place called Fun Unleashed that I always feel weird going to because the only people that go there are moms with their 7 year old kids, but it's also the only place with a DDR machine nearby.

They use this card system where you have a swipe card and put money on it when you walk in and then swipe it on the machines to put credits into them.

There was only one problem

Sep. 5th, 2008 @ 12:13 am I don't get my work at all sometimes
Well, not really my work since I don't work there anymore. ANYWAY, they called me two days ago and I was in class and they left a message saying "Oh hey Jason, if you want to pick up some extra hours today, give us a call back because we need people in the back room later today". There are a few things wrong with that:

1. I changed my availability a few weeks ago since school was coming up and told them there's no way I can work Monday-Friday because some days I have random classes scattered throughout the day until 8:45 PM sometimes

2. I quit there last Friday

I guess 2 is more important than 1.

Anyway, they called me again today when I wasn't in class and gave me the same "Oh Jason if you want extra hours today feel free to come in." So of course I told her those two things I mentioned right up there and instead of being all "Oh I'm sorry, have a nice day" or something like that she was just like "oh hmm...So you can't work today?"

UGH

May. 29th, 2008 @ 12:42 pm rockband support is stupid
okay, so long story sort of. i broke my brother's drum pedal for rock band like two weeks ago so i went to order a new one off of their website. simple enough, right?

there are two options. express shipping, which requires you to give them your credit/debit card number and they put a pending charge of $100 on your card and send you a new pedal, and then once you send back the old pedal, they take the pending charge OFF of your account.

and standard shipping, where they're supposed to send you an empty box, you send back the old one, and then they send you the new pedal.

obviously express shipping is supposed to be faster since you don't have to send your old pedal back before getting your new one. however, there is an error in standard shipping where apparently (i know from other friends that have broken rock band pedals) instead of sending an empty box to return your old pedal, they just send you a new pedal and you don't have to return the old one (which i didn't know until after the following).

anyway, i first try express shipping because i didn't know about the standard shipping error. my mom told me to use her debit card which was nice because i could have just used mine. anyway, i tried to use it and the support website gave me some weird error and i didn't receive a confirmation e-mail saying my order went through or anything. i called rockband support and talked to a (surprise surprise) not very helpful black guy. im just guessing he's black from his jive lingo and general unintelligence regarding his job. anyway, he gives me the whole "what it is you want, son?" and i explain my situation and he checks it all out on his computer and was like "yo bro, dat charge be ova da limit a ya card, so it di'nt go tru." so i tell him "alright, just cancel that and just send one through standard shipping" and he gives me an "aight".

so my brother got his drum pedal and we didn't return it thinking "oh it's just standard shipping, we don't have to return the pedal because of that stupid shipping error". i get an e-mail today from rock band saying they still haven't received the pedal on my EXPRESS order. so of course i call them. i talk to some not-very-helpful girl this time and she says it is an express order placed and there's a pending charge on the debit card i used to order it.

so i get my mom to check her debit card since when you order things with debit cards, it takes the money off of your card and puts it back on when the charge is taken off. my mom only had $20 on her account, so the $100 charge put on overdrew her account and now she has to pay like $30 because of that. rockband's website is supposed to give an error and not process the order if a pending charge will overdraw the account. it gave me an error, but apparently still processed the order. i explained this to the girl on the phone and she says "rockband is not responsible for that".

oh okay. rockband isn't responsible for the order that wasn't supposed to be placed because it would overdraw the account. the order that they said they completely canceled and replaced with a standard shipping order. that makes sense.

anyway, the moral of the story is, rockband service reps are idiots and always use standard shipping because then you don't get a charge OR have to return the broken hardware.

May. 12th, 2008 @ 08:39 am my brother's nickname
so, everytime i'm home from college i give my little brother a new nickname, and i was just thinking about his nicknames now, and it's kind of funny how far they've evolved. just for reference, i now refer to him as "Whopper Jr".

now, i know what you're thinking. "Oh, whopper jr? He must eat a lot of Burger King and that's how he got that nickname." well, you couldn't be more wrong.

it all started years ago. just for reference, my little brother's name is brendan. at first, for a nickname, i started calling him "Brennie" (or "Brenny"...i'm not sure how you'd spell it, but the second one reminds me of Denny's). after awhile, i thought it'd be funny to switch things up a little bit and start calling him "Bernie" because it's similar but just a little different, so it'll keep him on his toes.

that got boring quick, so i had to start calling him "Bernie Mac" because it was close to his last name and because he doesn't like black people and Bernie Mac is a well known comedian? (i don't really like to label people that aren't funny as "comedians" usually but i guess that will have to do). he didn't really enjoy that nickname at all. i figured i'd throw some more gangsta into his nickname by calling him "B-Mac" instead, so people that didn't know him would thing he is some sort of jobless rapping negro.

then at the end of last summer i switched it up again, and started calling him "Big Mac" since "B-Mac" already kind of sounds like that.

then over winter break i realized that i like burger king hamburgers better than mcdonalds hamburgers so i started calling him "Whopper".

i just got home from college the other day and realized "'Whopper' is way too small to be called 'Whopper'. I better switch it to 'Whopper Jr'."

and THAT is the story of why my little brother's nickname is now "Whopper Jr". who knows what's in store for the future.
