Tired and wanting to sleep
I just came back from Chinatown and I soo tired. I felt the urge to put something on my journal, since i've been so lazy these past few days. Sorry for the delay
Saturday
On my way to recovery from being REALLY REALLY Trashed. Pretty much, Randy and I just sat around the patio and talked all day. Then I developed all the pictures from our party and posted them on my webpage. That was pretty much the day.
Sunday
Hung out at Tony's apartment. I played cards with Jem, Joe, and Rijay. We pretty much just hung out there along with Joan, Jesse,and Annette. Then I went out to Yayo's Bachel party at Nightcaps with Eugene, Rijay, Jem, and Joe. The strippers there SUCKED. We all thought the lady bartender was A LOT better looking than the two strippers. I got a chance to hang out with Dave. I hadn't seen him in a while. We all then went over to Brian's and pretty much sat around and drank.
Monday
I was sick to death. My body took its toll. I even had to work today and IT SUCKED!.
Tuesday
IT's RANDY's Birthday!!!!! So I went to lunch with Randy. We chilled. Then since I was still deathly ill, I went home and slept. I woke up at like 11 PM, with everybody calling me. Nick wanted us to head out and meet him at Berlin. So Randy and I trek to Boystown and met up with Nick. It was a fun night despite my headache and nausea.
Wednesday
My sickness persists and I had to work. It sucks, but life goes on. After work, I met up with Randy and Ron at Hunter's. We pretty much just spent the night playing with glowsticks and flags. It was good practice. I learned a lot of moves.
Thursday
I was itching to go out after work. So I called up Jem and Rijay and we met up with EVERYBODY at THe Apartment. I'm llike who WASN't there. We then met up with Jen and Joel at Three Happiness Restaurant and ate.

A night at "The apartment"
Thursday
So pretty much on my birthday I just chilled at home mostly. Relaxed and everything. Then I went to dinner with the family at Joe's Crabshack in Schaumberg. I was so happy Eugene and Liz were able to make it to my birthday dinner. I had a lot of shrimp, it was nice and tasty. hehehe. It took like an hour to get a table there, but the food was great. So then we head home. I was debating to stay home, but Rijay and Jem were trying to persuade me to go to "the apartment" So I called Saq up and he said they were going there as well. So in the end I end up going to "the apartment" I didn't have the ace card with me so Mikey and I had to wait in line with everybody. It took FOREVER to get in. The place was PACKED as always. No room to move or dance. Of course I saw a whole bunch of people there. It was a good time as always.

Well it's finally my birthday today. I don't feel any older. At least my insurance rates go down now. Well Last night I celebrated my birthday with Randy, Manny, Stephano, Nick, and my cousin Rose. We went to Hunters of course. I was so happy all of them could come out to drink with me, at least I was the one that was drunk.

What a long week!
It's been a long weeK! Pretty much been drinking every night in preparation for my birthday this thursday.
Thursday
Ok so after I scanned all the pics and stuff I went home and chilled. So I talked to Romeo that day, he had a going-away party at Spybar. My cousin June also called to come out to "The Apartment" that night. I honestly didn't feel like going out that night. But the itch to go out is too strong to resist. So I head to "The Apartment" first with Mike Seguban. Man it was PACKED there. It was so packed that we didn't even see June there. I did hang out with April, Kiara, Saq, and Marquita. Also I was able to hang out with Jen, Joel, PJ, and crew. I saw a WHOLE bunch of people there. It was crazy. I think over 100 people kept bumping into me. At least I was able to see June for a little bit outside Allure.
Friday
After work, I had to go over to Andrew's to pick up stuff for my brother. So I hauled my ass to Lake Zurich and chilled at his crib and ate pizza for a bit. Then I headed over to Jem's. Jem and I pick up his friends Josephine and Aimee and we headed to Clout to watch Angelo spin. We met up with all the UIUC crew there. It was like a mini reunion. Let me tell you that it was HOT in there. Clout is a cool place to go and chill and dance. Good music was played there. So then we decided to go to RednoFive. They were being bitches at the door, cause they said our clothes were not DRESSY enough for them. We then went to Dragonfly. There, we chilled with my brothers Vince and Vergil as well as my cousin Rose and people like Saq and Dennis. So then we went to Chinatown to go eat. Before we got to chinatown, Jem decides to get a carwash courtesy of our friend Jenny. She decided she would pay for our expenses for the rest of the night. So Jem gets the ULTIMATE carwash. I'm like "Jem don't abuse our priveliges." But Jenny insisted on paying for EVERYTHING. So we met up with my brother Vince and my cousin Rose at Chinatown. We ordered like five main dishes plus crab rangoon and egg rolls, all courtesy of our friend Jenny. THANK YOU JENNY!!!!!! Somewhere between Chinatown and home, I apparently tripped and sprained my left ankle a little bit. It wasn't bad though. I didn't even feel it at first.
Saturday
So I wake up and my ankle hurts like hell. I put a brace on and head to work. Worked sucked let me tell you. I was limping like a gimp that day. What's worse was that I banged my left hand on the keyboard. So now my left hand and my left ankle both were in agony. I felt like Kevin Spacey in Usual Suspects. I was walking around limping and holding my left hand with my right hand. So I go to lunch and hope resting would help my pain. After lunch, my hand went numb. I don't think that was a good sign. So I called my mom and she told me to come home so that my dad could look at it. So I get home, and show my dad my hand. He said that my tendons were badly bruised and it'll take a day or two for it to heal. So my dad gives me all this medicine for the pain and I put ice on the hand. I pass out from the drugs. Then I woke up later feeling ok. So then I decided to go to Tracy and Mark's wedding reception. When I got there, I gave Tracy a great big hug. She thought I wasn't going to make there. But after spraining my leg and bruising my arm, I had to be there. It was like another reunion. I sat next to Chatty and Angela. I haven't seen Angela in years. Chatty and I were reminscing about old times. I houng out with everyone there. It was so much fun. You can check out the pics here (http://vern.8k.com/pictures). Tracy and Mark had a beautiful and fun reception. I really loved the centerpiece. It was like a tall candlestick with flowers. After the reception I went to Zentra for a bit and met up with Manny, Randy, Jem, Tony, Annette, and everybody else there. We had great fun there.
Sunday
Before work, Randy, Manny, Colleen, and I decide to go swimming a little bit in the pool by the clubhouse. We just went for a dip. After work. I pretty much sat at home and watched tv. Randy and I were babbling about nothing for about an hour. I thought that was funny.
Monday
Woke up......Slept.....Woke up......Work......Slept......Watched TV......Slept
Tuesday
After work, I finally got around to chillin on the computer and writing my weekend recap.
ONLY 2, YES 2 DAYS TIL MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

Idol's- going down memory lane
Wednesday
Ok after work, I called up Tom to see what he was doing. We decide to go to Idol's in Palatine. We haven't been there in like over a year. It was a good time. We first played those 25cent arcade games. We tied in Target 21 (1-1). So then we play fooseball. Tom kicks my ass in it, 8-2. So then we go over to darts. We played cricket. I destroyed him in that. Then pool, where it was intense and he beat me 2-1. It was a great time remiscing about old times. We then watched House of 1000 corpses. Talk about a fucked up movie.
Thursday
So far, I woke up, ate lunch with Randy and then went to Vergil's to scan more pics. Yes I put them up in the picture section.
ONLY 7 MORE DAYS TIL MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually got a lot done today but not how i planned
Tuesday
Ok so I wake up at like 7 for work today. Yeah It sucks waking up in the morning having only slept like an hour. Work was work. After work I cam home. I ate some food. Then I was supposed to go meet up with Emer and Karen and everyone in Skokie for the Volleyball game. While watching tv, I accidentally passed out! Sorry I couldn't make it! So I wake up at like 9PM, upset that i missed the volleyball games. I just ended up staying home. But luckily I got a lot done, actually after watching Simpsons and WIll and Grace. I have been working on my webpage the last few hours. I fixed up my DJ Vernimal Website portion. It looks a lot better now. Ok so now it's like really late. So I'm gonna go sleep.
ONLY 8 MORE DAYS TIL MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tuesday, August 12, 2003
What a kooky weekend :) Full of fun, fun, and more fun!
I have had a awesome last couple of day. Full of fun, laughter, and no worries! "Let love lift us up where we belong!" (Roxanne)
Friday
As I was sending out the evites for my Birthday, Romeo and I get to talking about lots of different things. I end up meeting up with him at Baker's Square along with one of his friends. I ordered strawberry cheesecake cause I was thinking "I want something fruity." So then we go to Hunters. DJ Dan played Awesome music. He even played Satisfactions and Joyenigizer. I saw John there and chilled with him for a while. I also got to see Tim :). It was a lot of fun. So I called up Jorge and I found out it was Oliver's birthday. So then I headed to the city to Oliver's apartment. He was having a small birthday party with Jorge hosting the event. I met a lot of cool people there. I even saw Margaret. I haven't seen her in months. We were all chillin on the porch. (No the porch did not collapse) Jorge made me a special drink consisting of sprite and vodka. It tasted smooth. Even Jorge's friend Jay was playing the violin to the dance music, it sounded badass.
Saturday
After work, I started heading towards Zentra. I called up everybody to see if they were going there. As I was on North Ave, I found out that Randy was at Hydrate and that Tom and Justin were heading to Sidetracks. It was Market Days, so I headed to Boystown. While texting Randy all night, I decided to meet up with Tom and Justin. It was weird cause it only took me 2 minutes to find parking. I thought it would have taken like an hour or something. I was gonna go to Hydrate first but the line was LONG as hell. So I opted for Sidetracks. I get to Sidetracks and am standing outside waiting for Tom and Justin. I call them and text them and no response. I felt like I was stuck cause Randy was at Hydrate; line too long, I didn't know where Tom and Justin were; and everybody else was at Zentra. After a few minutes THANKFULLY I saw Tim, Jessika, and Dave in line at Sidetracks. So I decided to hang out with them for a while. We hung out at sidetracks for a while. The music sucked. I met a lot of more cool people like Kyle and his friends. Tim and I got tired of Sidetracks, so we decided to go to Roscoe's. We left also cause we both also had the urge to dance and also wanted to hear better music. So we get to Roscoe's and we go to the back for more drinks and some great dancing. Finally great music we can dance to. I had so much fun at Roscoe's. We even met up with some cool girls. We both had tons of fun there. I had a really great night of fun, after thinking the night was going to be a disaster.
Sunday
I had to wake up at 7AM cause I had to go to work at 8. THAT SUCKED. We even had a brunch at Baker's Square. Because I had a long day Saturday. After I got off at work at 7, I went straight home and passed out.
Monday
I went to lunch with Randy. I called up Manny and made him come meet us for lunch. Manny kept getting lost trying to find Randy's work. I thought that was funny. We were out side Randy's work and watched Manny pass by. He didn't even see us. So I get home to find Charlene and Jenny brainstorming for Charlene's wedding engagement party invitations. Then my cousin Rose suggested that we go to Archivers. We had never been there so she takes us there. Let me tell you that It's a keepsake heaven there. I spent over an hour just browsing the store. I even signed up for and Endless Embellishments class. So then we get home. I then was building shelves for the garage while watching Princess Diaries. I liked that movie a lot even though I missed like the first 20 minutes. So then me, Charlene, and my brother Ted decide to go watch a movie. We ate at Baker's Square. The waitress gave us the wrong check, so we paid only 7 dollars for a 30-dollar meal. We thought that was hilarious. So then we watched SWAT. I loved that movie. Lots of action. So then when we got back to the house, my brother Ted falls asleep on the couch. His snoring drowned out the stereo that was playing and the tv that was on. It was that bad. Charlene was reading a book, while I was fumbling around on the computer. So Charlene decides to go upstairs to sleep. I run to the stairs to try to persuade her to take Ted with her upstairs. I stop her at the front of the stairs. She tries to get by. I accidently hit the fire alarm. Ted wakes up. Charlene accidently socks me in the stomach. I laugh. She goes upstairs. Ted goes back to sleep. I'm still stuck with a snoring elephant. Now it's time for me for bed. I'm gonna have to drag this elephant upstairs.
To you: I'm sorry I didn't make it to Zentra. I'll make it up to you
To you: I glad we were able to talk again even though we missed a month
To you: I hope you are having fun in Mexico!
To you: Thank you for making my weekend full of happiness
To you: I miss you
To you: Thank you for being my bestest friend in the world
To you: did you notice I didn't start our conversation with a curse or and insult?
To you: Sorry I wasn't able to meet up with you two on Saturday night
To you: You know how I feel, you know how I can feel better.
ONLY 9 DAYS TIL MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then after work at the spur of the moment I call up Emer and Deo to see what there doing. I find out it's Deo's brother Don's birthday. So we all head up to Alumni Club on Division St. It was quite fun cause it was ONLY 50 cent drinks. So I spent like $5 all night and got trashed! We were all messed up. Some of us decide to go eat at Chinatown. On the way to the car Angelo slips, falls, and sprains his ankle. What a goof!!! We geet to the restaurant and one of our friends Emily is passed out on the table! She sat there and did not move the whole time that we ate. It was a pretty funny site. Oh what a glorious night it was.
