   WHAT A NICE DAY
Hey there guys! Do you smell what The Mask is cookin'?

Today turned out well. We were dismissed early today, since my Math teacher is in a sick leave while my Civic Welfare instructor had a 2-day seminar to attend. I was planning on visiting my old high school, but alas my parents asked me to go grocery shopping instead. Too bad, 'coz I would later learn that the "self-professed-previous-wife-of-The Mask-who-would-separate-from-him-over-Kakashi" was there in the old high school. (You know damn well what I'm talking about, Blue Hawk.)

Pre-midterms went out well. I didn't have the best grade, but it was good enough. However, I'm starting to worry about my essay-type Sociology exam right now, since I was 60% prepared for it. Hope I got a good grade.

This week, I composed new songs for Religion class. This time, the songs are about Buddhism and Islam. But since we haven't performed it yet, I decided to keep this a secret to non-associates. Nevertheless, I gotta say that these original songs (well, half-original, since the music was just "borrowed") never fail to amuse us and make us chuckle, no matter how serious or educational the message may be. In fact, I bet those Nursery Rhyme jingles from two weeks ago amused you too despite the deep meaning behind it.

The Lebanon-Israel seems to be such a big issue in our country, especially with Filipinos in the Middle East beng affected by the conflict. I really hope things will be settled soon and that peace will still rule in the end.

No progress in my articles right now. Ideas just keep popping but I barely get to write even a sentence.

Yesterday while I was in the bathroom and, as Mick Foley would say it, trying to "squeeze some Snow", I finished reading Foley's autobiography, "Have A Nice Day!". Quite an awkward way to finish reading one of my favorite books. But then again, Foley himself had some great bathroom moments....and I don't mean that, you perv!

Anyway, the book was great. Really great. It made me laugh, it almost led me to tears, and it actually let me feel like I was Foley myself. And like I said, this book has cemented itself in my limited list of my fave books. If I had a book club like Oprah, I would really recommend this book, even if you're no wrestling fan.

TODAY'S SPECIAL
Since I'm talking about "Have A Nice Day!" right now, TODAY'S SPECIAL will be a funny excerpt from the book. Don't worry, takeshi takumi. Your proverb will be featured soon. Now, the excerpt:

I had not only guarded the summer before, but worked at Arthur's Take Out in the winter. Arthur's Take Out was the brainchild of club owner Arthur Grower, who paid me and my buddy Rob Betcher minimum wage to cook and deliver broasted (a combination of broiling and roasting---but it looked like fried) chicken out of the freezing snack bar. There was no heat in the place, so we would have to throw water on the stove and do calisthenics to keep warm while we waited for the phone that seemed to never ring.

As a result, we had lots of free time in the snack bar, and I had taken to whittling objects out of potatoes and then broasting them. One night, Danny Zucker, who would later go on to manage me in the Dude Love movies, called in an order, and I set out whittling my best potato penis complete with potato testicles that we attached to the starchy shaft through the miracle of toothpicks.

I set out with two orders in my car, and after dropping off the first, headed over to the Zucker residence to unveil my unique sculpture. "You're going to love this, Zuck," I promised, as Dannnny opened the box to reveal a normal order of fries. Oops. I never did find out if Mrs. Smith on lower Sheep Pasture Lane enjoyed her meal.


That's all I can say. HAVE A NICE DAY!
