"Hey guys. Big gulps huh. Well, see ya later."



Oh you. We've had some delicious times and some horribly lonely times. I just wish it didn't have to end on such a poor note, but hey we can still be friends and all. I'll come by ever so often and maybe get the usual and you'll say hey, but you'll be with another cashier and it will be kind of awkward. He'll have some exotic name like Topher or Lance, and you'll pretend that you're happy without me but oh you won't be. There's no one out there who suffers from degrading spanish comments from employees better than me, or someone who can say, "salsa picante o no picante" better than me. Who knows, maybe I'll start eating some El Balazo around you to make you kind of jealous. I mean maybe I'll see you at a movie sneek preview and you'll show up and walk by on the arm of that guy. And I might smile and you'll wave, we'll pretend it's ok, I guess. But the charade it won't last when he's gone, you know, I won't come back. Tehe.

Well that was my celebratory vent on me leavin High Tech Burrito. It wasn't all that bad, it's just a huge relief that I'm leaving. But I do have to say that they do not have a very safe and comfortable working environment. Nothing illegal or anything, it's just uncomfortable and awkward, especially if you don't speak espanol. Oh well.

"Well, folks, it's the end of the line for ol' Neil Diamond. That's right, I'm retiring from showbiz. I got me a ranch house out in Sausalito, 25 acres, a couple of pigs, sex swing in the basement, this weird Vietnamese guy who just kind of hangs out - you know, the American Dream"

Oh my. You know it's about that time of the year when our young children start shipping out to colleges. Well I shouldn't children, because my baby boys and girls have all grown up right before my very eyes. Look at you, you little son of guns. I remember when you used to run out to the school and play kickball with the gang or even make fun of Dave Sarmento once or twice or even wake up early to watch the Price is Right with the fam. Who knows? But you were having a ball as a young one, weren't you? Don't lie to me, you know I can tell when people lie to me.

Now it's a shame I didn't get to hang out with most of y'all this summer. There are a lot of people I didn't get to see as much as I would have enjoyed. The poker people, the schooner crew, former CSL members. I haven't played poker in months, I don't even remember what a schooner looks like, and my usual sunday practices are gone so none of that helps. I want to chill with you people and I have been trying, but it's hard sometimes with ol' High Tech Burrito running my life.

On the days I'm scheduled to work, I usually just devote my entire day to preparing myself to go to work, and then I go to work. As thrilling as that may sound, it gets a little how do you say... kind of lame? I would like to break free of that, but they do make some of the yummiest burritos around town.

I have also been spending a fair amount of my time with the exquisite Christine Estelle Nothelfer, but not so much to the point where I can never see you little son of a guns. I'm not exactly saying that summer is over and there's nothing anyone can do, I'm just saying, "Hey good buddy, let's do some hanging. If not, we can go buy some yummy burritos together, huh? How about it, you little bastard?"

"The review for Shark Sandwich was merely a two word review which simply read Shit Sandwich."

It sure has been a while, since I wrote in this thing. I believe now is the perfect time to do so. Why? Well, because I have been, simply put, pooping myself to death. Yes, poop. I'm not quite sure whether it's a form of food poisoning or just the common stomach flu. Either way, I have been spending my time between sitting on the toilet, sleeping, and watching Star Wars. Just remember, the force is always with you, you son of a bitch. Not sometimes, not here and there, but always.

It's very ironic though, this whole situation started after I ate my favorite sandwich in the whole wide world. The Chicken Carbonara. This won't stop from eating it again, but I think I'll be on Carbonara hiatus for quite a bit.

As unsettling as my "poop situation" sounds, I do have some pleasant and clean information to share with y'all. There are 24 days of school left, I believe. That is all.

"I flipped through catalogs and wondered: What kind of dining set defines me as a person?"

Hello. It's been a while since I wrote in this little guy. Well I find myself sitting here procrastinating yet again, and then I thought to myself... You know I'm a few months overdue for a internet weblog journal update, so here I am.

What's on my mind? You tell me. There's not much going on in our little town that has affected me to a great extent to where I have to write about it on this little weblog. I've been kickin' it, that's for sure. Oh, I have been on a movie binge. I have been buying and watching movies left and right, and it has been beautiful. The Professional, American Beauty, Fight Club, This is Spinal Tap, The Usual Suspects, 28 Days Later, Waiting for Guffman just to name a few. I was able to buy one of these movies with 20 dollars in free money, I think. Well it was on the ground near a church, so it must be special.

Might I add that Fox is threatening to pull a beautiful show off the air to make room for American Dad... That show being Arrested Development, one of the most beautifulest, awesomest show on TV now a days. So, I suggest that all of you sign this petition to keep it on the air. Then again, I don't know how much an online petition can persuade the Fox Broadcasting Company to keep that show on the air, but it doesn't hurt.

Anybody want to start a fight club with me? It's a real stress reliever.

"Ray. When someone asks you if you're a god, you say yes."

Have yourself a wicked hardcore Christmas. You know those Yankees lost. From now on the Red Sox are no longer cursed.

Number of days between Red Sox World Series triumphs: 31,459
The fabled mathematical concept, PI: 3.14159
Draw your own conclusions.

Courtesy of ESPN for that one. Now I'm not a Red Sox fan right now, I'm just putting this stuff up because I thought it was crazy. And, I've got the whole Red Sox theme because some of my relatives from back east might be coming for Christmas. Wicked Pissah. Speaking of baseball, I'm really scared for the future. Tim Hudson? Jason Kendall is cool, but Tim Hudson man, who knows.

And speaking of New England, I had some of the most friggin' awesome clam chowdah today. Whicka! In Larkspurr, CA of all the places to get some chowdah. All the kids in Hahvahd and Kenmore square must be friggin' jealous(Boston is kind of like a second home to me). Pissah. And to all those who say "Clam ChowdER sucks", well they are definitely not wicked hahdcore or they most likely have never given Clam ChowdER a fair chance in their mouth. You know what? I'll bring a huge batch of New England Clam ChowdER for everyone at Monte Vista to enjoy. I guarantee any of you that you will be converted the second you try it, because it's good stuff. I'll put money on it.

Yay for CSL shows. It's a shame that it will end come college time.

"That's the last time you put a knife in me! Y'hear me?"

Ohh my, I have found my case of CD's. I was scared there for a moment that I had lost my timeless SKA collection of CD's, but it's ok now, my mother left them at one of her friend's house... MUSIC gangsta.

On another note, a semi-late happy birthday to a Marissa Clarke and her party. I hope that gift was suitable enough for you, if not I've got another picture for everyone to use because... well I always keep my end of the deal. Always.



It's beautiful. Notice how my eyes are bleeding and I have tight leopard skin pants on, thanks to a Mr. Eng. Oh and if you look hard enough you'll find a troubled George McCracken in the background.

How are those college applications working out for everyone? You're done? Still got more to do? Well I do. Just curious, would anyone like to share what they put as their major? I put Film. Yes, so who knows, you might be seeing "... and the nominees for Best Director are Mike Lane for Star Bitch Stole My Token..." sometime in the future or maybe not. Who knows. It will be interesting, that's for sure. Now I have to go back to my Term Paper.

"You sit on a throne of lies!"

I hope everyone had a wonderful break, because all of you have to go to school tomorrow, including myself. Ha. Woo, you get to wake up early and learn all day. Learn about the world and other kinds of things like cooking maybe. Right? Is anyone out there going to procastinate their homework to about eleven o'clock tonight? Maybe even twelve? Well, have some Thanksgiving leftovers because that always kicks some serious ass.

But you know what doesn't kick so much ass? Losing your CD holder case... with the majority of your CD's in it. So this is for Alex Berry, who requested a Christmas List from everybody, I have my list with commentary because I like doing it.

Rx Bandits - Progress (sweet band, hard to describe them, but ska none the less)
Slow Gherkin - Shed Some Skin (its really hard to not like their brand of ska, its just... good.)
Big D and The Kids Table - Good Luck (I love them)
Big D and the Kids Table - Gypsy Hill EP (see above)
Short Round - Language (a driving pop-punk trio who does it right)
The Lawrence Arms - Greatest Story Ever Told (another trio of beautiful human beings)
Alkaline Trio - Good Mourning (more trios for you)
Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Live from the Middle East (its a live CD from a club called the Middle East)
Mighty Mighty Bosstones - A Jacknife to a Swan (uhhh power chord academy)
The Clash - London Calling (I like it a lot)
The Chinkees - Peace Through Music (ska thats so happy and so cool)
Less Than Jake - Hello Rockview (theyre kind of cool, but I have been getting bored of them lately)
Green Day - Nimrod (One of my first)
Mustard Plug - Evildoers Beware (They make me smile)
Reel Big Fish - Everything Sucks (I prefer this one out of all of the others because there are 20 tracks)
Suicide Machines - Destruction by Definition (really simple but good)
The Planet Smashers - Mighty (its ska what else can I say)
The Specials - The Specials (old people)
Lagwagon - Let's Talk About Feelings (early 90's pop punk, its enjoyable)
3 Time Life 80's hits collection CDs (for when you want to rock out to the 80's)
And a couple of mixes of Ace of Base and NWA sucka (must haves for every human being on earth)

I just want my CD's back for Christmas, and maybe some asses to kick. Oh and I now love JTT and all of his work.

"He'll keep calling me, he'll keep calling me until I come over. He'll make me feel guilty. This is uh... This is ridiculous, ok I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go. What - I'LL GO. Shit."

w00t-y-w00t WHAT!? I'm kickin' it here at the Lane household doing some UC application stuff. It's really awesome, if you know what I'm sayin'. I'm also trying to finish my personal statements, those are just as exciting, I mean my god. I'm stumped at the moment, so I thought I would write in this thing. So, how's everybody's weekend so far? Cool? Yeah, mine has been cool too.

I have been driving my bright blue Rav 4 to school recently and to all over the place as well. You'll probably see it parked near the front gate with Michael and myself listening to our music and eating danish, and Miss Moo in the back getting some shut eye. I guess it's a ritual now to carry around a box of danish in the Rav now. So you know, if you want some danish you know where to go, the BRIGHT BLUE RAV 4. You know Rav stands for Recreational Activity Vehicle... so I guess that makes it kind of cool.

Well let's see here, what else is there to talk about? How about some random early high school memories? YEAH you know want some you son of a bitch. Let's see here, I remember freshman year when my pants fell off in PE while diving for a baseball. That was hella tight son. Oh and I remember going to my first grange show with Ross Townsend and once we enter we are greeted by a skanking Jessica Lum and Kirsty Simpson. I remember seeing Will Atkin table top Wesley Golangco, and then Wesley kicking Will right in the crotch several times over. My lunch group for the first few weeks of high school was Jon Lytle, me, and Dan Gee. I am known as that guy who does that eye thing by a couple of STALKERS (Chrimrita). My life partner, Michael Eng, would tell me everyday how he made fun of another "super shallow slut" at Stone Valley Middle School. Beating David Thomason's Improv team at the Theater Sports Night in the second round and eventually winning it all with my boy JEREMY LUM. "Five Iron Frenzy - One Girl Army Live Version" in the halls at break time. I bought THE Reel Big Fish sweatshirt that I still wear to this day. I guess that's about it, I'll go back to my essay now.

My darlin' miss Moo, I'd give my life away! You know, I love November. Month 11. Novembre.  It's my favorite month of the year. What's so fucking special about November anyways you dipshit? Hey there, there's so much to enjoy from this great month, especially this year. November 2004 consists of many things including BIG DECISION 2004 (ohhh and what a decision it was), enourmous Ska night at Imusicast (we are playing at it), those crazy seniors have to complete their applications (college future career go), the beginning of the Basketball season... (Fuckin' Basketball), and THANKSGIVING (ohhhhh shit son). My favorite holiday of the year. One glorious meal of Turkey, potatoes, gravy, and even fried rice. Ohhh it's soo delicious. I can't wait actually. Another great thing about November is we have just about as many days off as December does. Thanksgiving break + a cool 4 day weekend, that sounds like a good deal to me. Finally,the main reason why I think November is so great is because well I was brought into this world during this fine month. I hope that all who read this are on the same page as me. I mean is there really another month that can compare to November's greatness? Didn't think so.

I have noticed that a lot of people have been getting sick lately. I'm not saying that this isn't normal, it is the flu season and everyone is getting a little icky and sicky. Though everyone is getting sick except for one person, Michael Lane. That's right, I believe that I am immune to almost everything. I'm trying to redeem myself here from a couple of humiliating losses, so I'm proposing another challenge to anyone. I say that I will not and cannot miss a day of school because of the flu for the rest year. I'll put a meal of food on that bet. Huh? So how about it? No? That's alright. I can listen to some music. Anyone want to listen to some music? Give Ace of Base a try. Yeah, you know you remember them. "Beautiful Life", "All That She Wants", "The Sign", "Don't Turn Around". Ringin' any bells?

Can you make the downbeat of a ska song cool? Yeah? Thanks Big D. Who can make Girls against drunk Bitches? Thanks Big D. Who can make 20 catchy wholesome songs on one album? ...

You know I am just as capable as anyone else at completing certain tasks/activities. Some people just doubt me, and I don't think they are aware of my awesome capabilities. Over the summer I trained myself into a lean mean fierce action machine, I guess, but the point is... I think I might have a gambling problem. I highly doubt it, but who knows, I haven't played poker in a few weeks. You see, I have been challenging a few people for some interesting wagers... but none of them for money. Noo, I'm not that crazy of a gambler. I'm wagering on the currency of golden dreams and love, or food. Food can turn anyone's day upside down, but of course it does depend on what type of food you eat. So yeah if you want to challenge me in a fist fight, a ripping on each other match, a game of twister, and hey even a test on your knowledge of the Simpsons, you go ahead and put your most sacred food item on the line and I'll beat ya. Why? Just cause.

I might be bringin' the Rav to school on friday. Please don't laugh at me, if you see it. It's really a good car and stuff kind of.

I had to recreate it because I kind of destroyed the other one I made a while back with my Land Rover... *sigh* by running over it again and again.

As for Monte Vista High School Theatre news, I am once again set to play the guitar in the upcoming play productions, A Midsummer's Night Dream. Yess, the story we all came to know and love in our sophomore english classes now presented by our little drama class. You may be saying Wait a minute Michael, I don't remember no guitar in that play. Well it's kind of added in because I play the character Philostrate, and if there is anyone out there who remembers this character well I will just... just cry and become overfilled with joy.

Today is the best day of my life. Actually no it's not, but it's not the worst either. It's just there today. Why? I realized that it has been quite a hectic senior year for me. I was expecting a cool breeze in 04-05, but I'm still feeling heavy gusts of wind. I don't know if it's just me with this feeling, or maybe I'm still stuck in summer mode.

No one listens to ska anymore Mike Lane Well I do and its a hard decision whether I should go or not. It's on a Tuesday night, and I don't know who's going exactly... if Ross Townsend wants to go really badly then Ross Townsend better tell me.

My Land Rover/Pippa my darling has been traded in and we purchased a new car. I look pretty lame in it.

Everyone seems to have the oddest dreams except for me. In fact, I do not recall the last time I had a dream. I wonder what the problem is. Maybe its the fact that I don't eat anything "crazy" before I go to sleep or maybe I just need some more sleep. Who's down for some sleeping and dreaming? I think a nice wholesome night of sleeping is way overdue for a lot of Monte Vista students.

2. imho = in my humble opinion (tricky right?)
3. w00t = either "woo loot!" or "We Owned the Opponent's Team" (now you know)
4. .s. = sarcasm (who fucking made that up anyways?)
5. btw = by the way (I dont know why I chose this one)
6. mike = nothing really I just wanted to see what people would put
7. al ca-pwn3d = al caponed (I still don't get how someone can get "al caponed")
8. rofl = rolling on the floor laughing (I don't think I've ever seen anyone honestly use this)
9. wtf = what the fuck (This is actually a pet peeve of mine, then again most of these "internet term" things are as well)
10. SI = I really dont know, I made this one up. I use it for "shut it" or System International... I guess.

Awww... Well that just put a big smile on my face. It's 3rd period, you see, and I'm settlin' in waiting for the day to just end. I'm just thinking about lunch and how "cool" my meal is today. "Ham, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, bread, bag of chips, sunny delight..." I mumbled to myself as I was trying to decipher my Shakespeare work packet thing. Then my companion, David Thomason, leans over and spills me the big news... BBQ. Ampitheatre. FREE! I was all like "yeaaaah boooiiyy" forget my generic ham sandwich meal, I'm getting BBQ food. That was very nice of whoever put that whole BBQ on. Free food for the senior class, and the food wasn't that bad either. mmmm. Thank you BBQ people for spicing up my lunch.

Speaking of food, I'm expecting some delicious entrees at school soon. mmmm. Some lime thing, which I really want right now, and some yum yum brownies. Ohhhhh and I'm having the greatest lunch known to well... the world. Quiznos. Chicken Carbonara. Period. Food keeps me out of trouble. I love you food.

Cause she watchin' him with those eyes... You know I wish I had Jesses Girl... Concerning my previous entry, I will answer my little "name that song" riddle that I made, if you were curious. It's Jesse's Girl by Rick Springfield... ahaha didn't see that coming did you? Where can I find a woman like that? Ask Brian Russell. Why don't you try and guess this lyric for shits and giggles? "Today is the greatest day I've ever known"

"[after he pokes a girl with a pin] Oh, I'm sorry, did my pin get in the way of your ass? Do me a favor and lose five pounds immediately or get out of my building like now!"

Mike Lane + Mike Eng + Acoustic Guitars = hella sick son. We had our neighborhood block party on Saturday. It was cool, I suppose. There was food and people, plus some children our age. Interesting set of kids.  But, the highlight of the night was M&M's (Michael and Michael duo name) acoustic set in the Eng Family's driveway. The setlist of the night included songs from such bands as Can't Stop Lamar, Alkaline Trio, Lawrence Arms, and Green Day. Ohhh it was a good one. We can put on a show I must say, it was neat, relaxing, and happy.

I am a satellite never getting signals right. If by signals you mean the Oakland A's and by satellite you mean not making the playoffs well then you've nailed it. What? A's in 2005, maybe... maybe not.

On a lighter note, I'll give anyone 10$ if they can name this song... I'm serious. 10$ to whoever can name this song. I bet you're saying What's the catch Michael? well I guess the only catch is that you have to know how to play guitar pretty much. You can figure out the song with a another instrument, but good luck with that. So I guess you pretty much have know how to play an instrument in general. Remember now... 10$ is on the line ahahahahahahha sweet. I'm not telling you the rhythm, that would be too easy. Why am I doing this? I think it's cute.

"7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 doors. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office. 'Cause you're fuckin' fired!"

I'm supposed to be writing a sonnet for shakespeare right now, but well it's really hard to do. So, I thought I would discuss current events on my internet journal to help spark the circuits. Well, not really current events, more like anything that comes to mind... that is current.

You know everyone has their own little, well, "isms" so to say. What are "isms" Michael? Well, they're your own little languages/actions that make you, you. For instance, I apparently I have my own isms, I apparently use unecessary catch phrases to add flavor to my conversations (ie "That's the name of the game", "Fair Enough", "Yeeeeahhh Booiiiyyy", etc.) Also, I apparently used to act like some sort of character from Sponge Bob Square Pants, and I was the bottom of some sick and twisted joke, heh, I didn't even find out about it til 2004(it took place during 2001). I still don't know what this eye thing looks like... So, since this is an open forum of discussion, please feel free to add any other "isms" of yourself, of your friends, or of maybe even more of me that I had no clue I did. Oh and if you can't find any of your own, just ask me, because I notice these things about people.

I want to be a kid again, I want to play in the PARK! PAAAARRRRK! So beautiful to meeeee! PARRRRK!

I'm sad. Yes sad. I shouldn't be, but I am. It's a silly thing to be sad over, but I am sad none the less. My team, the Oakland Athletics, might not make the playoffs this year. I love the A's, so when they don't do well I get sad because I'm a Die Hard with a Vengeance A's fan. I mean I have a pin that says "1994 Season Ticket Holder", that's pretty die hard. I even cried when the A's were knocked out of the playoffs last year, well... not cry... more like I kicked someone's ass. But yeah, I even remember after every early exit from the playoffs, the next day at school I would mope around all day and do nothing. It's a rough.

I think I'll write a sonnet about the A's... you know if I lift up the sides of my hair, it looks like I have a mullet. It's hella sick son!

"[handing the waiter a coupon] I'll have the chicken-fried steak and she'll have something of equal or lesser value"

Ohhhhh... rats. Damnit. Ohhhhhhhhh. I lost about 5 pounds thanks to the good people at the Guy Houston administration. Passing out flyers and door handle things never felt so burning and not at all rewarding, but I did feel silly. It was so hot out, mainly because I was wearing my happy hoodie, but still I was moving quite a bit. Frantcially jumping in and out of cars, racing to the doorsteps of citizens, listening to 80's music. ohhhh 80's music you sure do make me smile. "Ohhh baby do you know what its worth? Oooo heaven is a place on earth!" tehe. If you don't know what I'm talking about, well let's just say Civics project = 6 hours done.

Im serious about the 80's music though. I go off. Watch yourself now. I go off the wall.

Like watching new born babies crack from work related stress. I know, but it's alright. What? Am I just writing whatever I hear? Maybe... Dead or alive you're coming with me.

Hey. Have you ever walked through halls at school during class and you're walking right and then you see someone walking towards you. So it's just you two in the halls and you're about to pass each other. Get it? maybe? ok. Well do you
A. Keep your head down and pretend that you did not see that person in the first place.
B. Look straight ahead and pretend you're in a deep thinking state that cannot be broken by anyone.
C. Acknowledge the human being with a kind greeting.
D. Stare at the person to see what they will do.
E. ... knife em.
Just curious. This happens to me a lot during 0 period when I have to fetch Ms. Threatt's food and mail. I'll tell you my answers, ok? If it's someone I don't know I'll usually go with B or D. If it's someone I know, well... take a guess. If you have any other options to add, that would be excellent.

"I'll be in the neighborhood later on, and I was wondering if maybe you wanted to get some frozen yogurt, or perhaps a whole meal of food, if that would be agreeable. Damnit."

What? It rained? Yeah. Oh. I felt it drip onto my head, which awoke me from my deep slumber. I did not like the rain then. I usually do like the rain. Why? Because I have an excuse to wear my happy hoodies. I just love my happy hoodies. They make me smile. I bet everyone out there smiles when they put on their hoodies, or their "happy hoodies", whatever you want to call them.  I sure as hell smile. It's like wearing one big happy hugging teddy bear, but it's a sweatshirt.

Go A's.

Michael, what do you do when you want to procrastinate? Well I usually write stuff on these internet journals, or I'll just continuously search the internet for stuff. It's cool, I guess.

He's a beached whale, he tries to flip over now, CANT MOVE SAND WHAT. Two things I look like. A vampire (only at night and when I'm wearing a happy hoodie) and Karen O (the lead singer from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs).



Karen O



Michael Lane... damnit.
