“I am quite a ghetto person.”
– Matthew Simmons
Artwalk At Miramar College
was some sexy shit. Good job guys.
And yay! Leo has enlightened me that his room lacks space. Before you assume that I’m happy that he doesn’t fit in his room… no space just means I get the painting of me! He’s giving away or selling or doing something with most of his pieces, making room for the genius waiting to flow through his fingertips.
On top of my bed is a...
Driving With Donna
Ok, let me inform all you native Mira Mesans: there’s roads beyond what you know.
On a drive with Donna Bannavong and Amal Dalmar today, we got lost. Yes, I know most of you are in awe since my mind is, in fact, a GPS system, but I need to emphasize that there is Mira Mesa beyond average knowledge of Mira Mesa.
Turn left on Polaris going East and follow it.
We attempted to avoid a...

Power And Intelli
Robek’s has a variety of nutritional boosts to add to your drink (first one free, additional 50 cents).
Powerbek and intellibek are two of which that provide energy and memory/concentration, respectively.
I tripled the amount of each in my drinks earlier today when I left work just so I wouldn’t pass out on the way home. Oh, and for the ridiculous amount of shit I have to get done...
“You’re starting to work now? After not doing anything for half the year?”
– Maheu; referring to my frequent naps and bullshit essays throughout the year.
Bahhhh
I left school at 11:30PM.
I’ve done two loads of laundry and cleaned two bathrooms. After I shower off right quick, I have to put on work clothes, pick up James from school, drop him off, and speed to work (my shift starts at 3PM).
When I get home around 9PM, I have to do 70 key terms and read Bless Me, Ultima for the essay tomorrow.
Something I can type in such a concise sentence...
Satisfaction
I’ve just finished the 191 history terms that are due tomorrow.
I ended with 196, though. Did I make five up? Did I miscount? We’ll never know.
I’ll just tell Maheu that I love history so much I just threw in five I thought were necessary but lacking.

Down In The Dumps
I hit an all time low on the depression scale today. I laid in my bed and honestly thought, “I don’t want to live anymore.” Before you brush me off with the mental imagery of the term ‘emo’ stamped on my forehead, I just gotta say: I’m usually a level-minded person.
I love life with every fiber of my being. I love the ups and surprisingly, the downs. I love...
Blech
I thoroughly dislike it when people refer to AP US History as “A-PUSH”. Seriously. It makes me cringe.
WHO THE FUCK EGGED MY SISTER'S CAR?!
If that shit was aimed at me at least HIT THE RIGHT CAR dumbass.
My sister was telling my mom, “My car got egged! Because Jamie makes enemies!”
I recall saying mean things lately, but not putting any into action… thus, I am not able to pinpoint why someone would egg my sister’s car. And half the mean things I do actually commit are all harmless. Exhibit A: Chalking...
Heat
I don’t know what to do with my life it’s so fucking hot.
Last night I stayed up an extra couple hours to cut Gabe Gonzales’ hair. I contributed to a mohawk. Let me bow my head in shame.
I’m gonna sleep the heat off.
Saturday Night
I was at Chris’ birthday thang-thang a little while ago and let’s put it this way: no amount of alcohol made it okay for me to be there. So I left.
When a guy approached me and asked me why I was leaving so early, I replied blunty, “Because this is gay.” “Why is it gay?” he retorted. “Because… there are multiple people with rattails here.” ...

Paulina/Jesca
It’s 10:45AM, and most people I know haven’t even woken yet… but I’ve had quite the full morning.
I went to the Black Student Union conference with Ziada at 7AM, and she’s still there. For a while I was the only non-African in the house but Paulina Fraser and Jessica Silvestre quickly turned that around.
Yes. Paulina Fraser and Jessica Silvestre.
I left UCSD...
“Jamie, I was waiting for you to say ‘never touch a black woman’s...”
– Ziada, after changing my radio stations
Friday
Worked 3PM-close. Manager dipped out and I was in charge… which was weird. But handling the cash made me feel like The Man.
Dropped off one of my co-workers in the boonies. She was all talking about how she didn’t like living in a “nice area” for a change, she’d rather be at home in Logan Heights. I was all expecting at least a Mira Mesa, but naw homie, she be...

From The Black Men Chronicles
Jamie: *quietly studying in the library during lunch, black guy approaches*
Black guy: I just wanted to let you know that I would fuck you. I've been wanting to tell you.
Jamie: .... uh, thank you?
Black guy: Can you tell my two black friends that I said it to you?
Jamie: *glances at two black men sitting nearby* ... he said it.
SAT II
Damn it!
Collegeboard.com is probably the stupidest thing I’ve ever had to deal with.
I signed up for Biology and U.S. History subject tests, but I decided to take my third subject test at a later date. Forgetting that I had planned to retake my SAT Reasoning in October, I clicked “save and continue.” If you think you get the luxury of pressing the back button, ya...
5 Essays
I wrote five fucking essays today. Three in Math (two FRQs and a DBQ) and two in history (two more FRQs).
So in less than 3 hours total, I banged out five papers. And despite the time constraints, I think I wrote some of the most legitimite essays (on US History) that I’ve ever written. I’m sure they’re not 9s, but it was the first time I knew what I was talking about and...
My Night Life
J: so did you do the essays
Z: nahh
Z: but i think im going to
J: good girl.
J: i'm gonna shower, eat, math, then decide if i want to continue living
J: in the event that i do want to live
J: i'll write the three essays
Z: yea!
Work Wednesdays
Work quickly went from a “you’re getting promoted soon” to a “pick up the pace, John’s firing everyone.”
Now, instead of beaming with pride about being the youngest almost-manager, I’m working my ass off twice as much just to keep my current position.
Oh John, why are you such an annoying, fickle fob?
Quick note: I think this large ass of mine is...

Screw The Press!
My powderpuff article was bled all over by an editor of the Marquee. Claims there’s just too much opinion in it, and that it’s biased towards the juniors. That entire article badmouthed both juniors and seniors, from the mouths of juniors and seniors. It wasn’t my opinion, it was 08/09’s. If the Marquee isn’t willing to print creative writing styles and humor,...
Happy Earth Day
Mark: its earth day today
Mark: aka jamie day
Mark: cause jamie, u mean the whole world to me.
Dear Annie,
Once I slapped this guy’s ass super hard thinking it was my Dad. It was a thing I used to do when I was younger… I don’t know.
It wasn’t my Dad.
I stared at him in a horrified manner for a few seconds and scattered off to my grandpa’s side.
And y’know, that whole flashing the elementary school thing.
Yup
I just napped from 4PM until 8:20PM and it felt great.
Two Minutes Of My Life I'll Never Get Back
I have yet to start this damn essay (which was due today).
I’m killing time by sitting here shivering and blogging. Sure, I could just reach up and close the window which would stop the impending frost bite. Then again, if I put that mentality into motion, my essay would already be done. How sad is that, I’m literally too lazy to reach up and close the window. Wow.
Okay.

“Everybody realizes gas prices are skyrocketing, but you may not know these facts...”
– Yahoo! headlines; and the correlation between the two is….?
Dear Misa,
I think a large, loud “FUCK YOU” is in order. I know it doesn’t seem like you have everything, to you, but ya do.
Go take a gander at my closet when you come home next weekend.
What the fuck do you expect me to wear out? Underwear, socks, a couple of way-too-small t-shirts?
Bring. Back. My. Clothes.
Apparently, apologizing when I was broken down to shreds doesn’t...
Tammy
It’s 1:00AM, and Tammy Nguyen just left after 6 pointless hours of the human body systems.
So she walks in, 30 minutes later than she said she would, and when I questioned why, she replied, “Oh I went to buy hair dye.”
“Will you help me dye my hair?”
She pulls the box out… and yup, it’s blonde hairdye. After ten consecutive minutes of mockery, she...

Jamie: I don't know what'd I do if my room were that big... I wouldn't know what to put in it.
Tammy: Yeah me either.
Three minutes of silence later...
Tammy: I'd put a couch.
I Had The Craziest Dream
I saw my grandpa who held my hand and told me reassuring advice, my grandma, and my other two grandparents (who are still alive) died in my dream last night. There were fights, all white outfits, I think I cried in my sleep, there was a lot of art for some reason, I was in a make-believe art store, my car got stolen, a mute girl, I sat in an outdoor cafe and listened to John Legend, I went home,...
Adam
My family and I went to eat at an Indian restaurant. I felt like those white people in Pho restaurants that eat the bean sprouts as a salad.
Weird
Something that has been going on for quite some time didn’t affect me. I stopped caring awhile back, and now it’s just a passing glance. When it’s made official, however, it is still a slap in the face, a flick at the heart.
Late Night Laser Tag
After midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, laser tagging at UltraZone is only $5.50.
Kevin mentioned it during a hookah sesh… which led to me driving us to UltraZone.
A few hours later, we played our fill and came back to Mira Mesa. I dropped everyone off at their cars and have just arrived home.
And now, at 2AM, I’m going to go load up on carbs by finishing the pasta in my kitchen,...
Kevin
has a theory that all people with the same name (same spelling, mind you) look alike. While not identical twins, there are obvious features that are parallel.
I’ve decided I’m going to devote my days to disproving this.

Black Men Chronicles
Black guy: Hey, can I take a picture with you?
Jamie: No..
Black guy: C'mon it's just a picture
Jamie: I believe that cameras steal my soul
Black guy: Just a picture
Jamie: I'm ignoring you now.
Why flatter myself? Perhaps he wanted that picture to use for blackmail. Aha BLACK-mail. Hahaha.
Okay, that was semi-racist.
Dasical/Dazical
So at practice Casey walks by and says, “You guys watch their runs it’s not all dasical/dazical and shit like yours,” or something on that level.
Donna and I both glanced at each other with the exact same expression on each of our faces. If the expression was spoken aloud, it would have clearly said: “DASICAL IS NOT A WORD!”
While on the subject of the dumbfuck, I...
Exit You
I just said goodbye to Edson. He won’t be returning until March of next year.
At A Loss: Dan Savage's "Thank-You Note" To His... →
When I first read this, my mind’s eye saw a woman. After a few paragraphs of his column I realized he was a gay man, simply saying thank you to his recently deceased mother. Just thought I’d share because it made me miss mine. Who, by the way, is still alive even though I haven’t talked to her in a while.
