| All my Children,
I'm never online cuz I live such a busy life, but not as busy as some
people I know. I've been working at Coyote a lot, rakin in the big
bucks. Ha.  I could be making more
though. I've thought about getting a different job or just another job
working nights (I have applied at restaurants) since I pretty much only
work mornings at the Club. It's real fun getting to work at 6 or 7am.
But then I have the rest of the day once I get off at 2 or 3pm, except
I rarely have any energy to do anything. I've been putting in 40+ hours
a week, which adds up. I'd like to buy something. Something expensive.
But then I remember I gotta pay for damn school. Boo hoo! 
This past weekend was Tastefest in Detroit, fun as always. I went with
Matt, Andrea, and Beth on the 4th of July and enjoyed the variety of
great food and music. Actually the music wasn't that great this year.
The only band I'd heard of was Coheed and Cambria, who I find annoying
cuz the lead singer sounds like a girl. After Tastefest, we crossed the
border to Windsor in celebration of my 19th Birthday the week before.
We did a bit of bar hopping, and outta the 4 places we hit, only one
carded us. Kinda disappointing. But I had a great time getting
"krunked" til 2am, which may have been later but I had be at work the
next morning at 6:30am. What a long day at work that was, let me tell
you.  Blaa! Literally.
This could be the only entry I do this summer, so lemme tell ya the
rest of my plans for the summer: WORK. I'm going up north (Gaylord)
with my cousins the last week of July. Should be fun (like every year)
staying on the lake and ridin the jet skis and such. Me and Uncle Bryan
also plan on cruising our trucks at woodward dream cruise in August and
I may enter my truck in a couple more shows. The red streak could be
getting a bit of a makeover this summer as well. I'm getting a new
grill as a birthday gift but I haven't decided which one I want. And I
also may get a new fiberglass hood with twin ram air vents, which looks
bad ass. I also miss all my friends from school, so we should hang out
some time, or I'll see ya in a couple months. We'll go golfing
then have a BBQ, right Jenna? 
Well it's Friday night and I don't gotta work tomorrow. I guess I
should do something fun then. Everyone enjoy the rest of your summer
and I'll see y'all soon, gahick!
Later Days,
Barret Jay

| Friends-
School's out for summer! I just got back from my last final! I have a life again! 
Overall, great first year. Classes were aight. I did way better this
second semester, I'll tell ya that. It was the friends that made this
year worthwhile. From my Bailey Bros to the Fantastic Four to the
"Family" and other Brodians I've made friends with, I'll miss y'all
this summer. Got some good memories. Sniff, I promised myself I wasn't
gonna cry  . But I'll see some of you over the summer, or next year, and maybe later in life. Thank God for AIM too .
Tryin' to keep it short. Lookin' forward to a good summer: time with
the fam, workin, sleepin, maybe a vacation or 2, seein ol' friends.
Maybe even some summer classes at a community college (I'm about to
meet with an advsior). So I guess I'm officially changing my major to
Studio Art with a specialization in Graphic Design. This prolly isn't
the best school for that, but I just love MSU so much I don't wanna
leave! We'll see though. I'll be here at least next year. Alright,
that's my que to roll out. Everyone HAKAS (that's so 6th grade) if I
don't see ya before I leave. I'll be seein' everyone again, I promise.
Later Days,
B-Funk

I'd like to wish Kevin a Happy Birthday first off. This weather's been
amazing lately, especially this past weekend. On Friday, my oldest
sister, Natalie, and her boyfriend, Craig, came out to visit moi. Craig
is an MSU alumni himself, so he knew a lot of the cool places to go. We
ate at a Japanese steakhouse in Okemos, called Ukai, which was pretty
amazing. It's almost like a Mongolian Barbeque, but the chefs do al
fancy tricks and cook all the food on your table in front of you. It
was pretty busy, so we were stuck a table with 5 other people. One of
the guys was a little bit of a nut-job, having some strange opinions
and stories, but harmless. I think he was just drunk. He told us they
were out celebrating his release from prison. His family said we
probably beleived him, which I could have. Then we went out to Mac's
bar where they had a strange band performing later in the night. In
Jeff's words, they were like a satanic band, kinda scary. So we left
after their first song. We tried to head to other clubs, but most are
21+. So we ended up just chillin' in the dorms for the night. Everyone
was pretty beat from the week.
Saturday, I did the majority of my paper for my writing class and
finished it up that night. My topic is: Should terminally ill patients
be given access to unapproved experimental drugs? I say yes, but lemme
know if you wanna proofread it, especcially if you disagree with me.
Then we'll have a big debate and deboccle! (sp?). And we got to play
some ultimate Frisbee Saturday, always a fun time. Saturday night was
alright, after I finished my paper. Watched the Count of Monte Cristo
with Nick and Bret. Then I played some midnight B-Ball with Tom and BC,
which was funny.
Uh oh, gotta hurry, class is approaching. Sunday I headed home to help
Andrea's boyfriend Matt move into his new apartment in Royal Oak. After
that, I played some Frisbee with my trainer, Uncle Bryan. I used to be
a Klutz with the Frisbee (Barret Jay Klutz ), but Sensai taught me like a young grasshopper. K, gotta go.
Later Days,

I'm drawing a blank here. But once I get going, it's hard to stop.
What is with our Spartans? Couldn't at least one of our bassetball
teams have won it all? Maybe next year... There's always next year...
Is that supposed to be some consalation? You could keep saying that
every year. But they did make it farther thanI though they would.
Last Friday was Mad's b-day. I got her a State hoodie, cuz whenever I'm
missing mine, I always know where to look. Except I got her one that's
cooler than mine, so now I'm jealous.
Oh yeah, and that Friday night, my dad gave me and my ucle quite a
motivational speech while we were all drinkin' at the bar. Those kinda
pep talks are the best, at the bar. Basically, I gotta make some money
of I ever want to support a family, blah blah blah and Zoology aint
gonna do that for me. So I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be goin into graphic
design now. I'm "good" at it, it is less schooling, and it pays well.
So now the question is, do I keep going to State? I will at least for
another year. Maybe I should just drop out and become a lunch mom like
my original plan.
We celebrated Easter with my mom's side of the family on Sunday.That
was perdy cool. The food was good. Me and the guys got some Frisbee in
on like the windiest day ever. You could play Frisbee with yourself if
you wanted, the wind would blow it right back to ya. You could say I
excel in Fribee, the one sport where I'm above average. Maybe I'll go
pro one day
Enough about life back home, how's about here at school. The weather
has been awesome lately, and it's really been affesting my school work.
I've been doin a lot of football and Frisbee with the guys on campus.
Today I decided to finish my book, Oryx & Crake, with about 80
pages of 400 left to go. So I read it down by the river by the rapids,
cuz it sounds peaceful, and took some shots of the ducks while I was
there. But once I was all done, I see now that I'm burnt. I got the
classic farmer's tan goin' already. You'd be surprised what kinda work
you can get done by skipping the usual nap now and then. But will I
give up napping completely? NO WAY!!! Uh uh, not this boy's pintu!
I don't know when I'll be updating next. I got multiple papers to
write. Natalie and Craig are comin out to visit Friday, so I must
entertain them. Then I may be helping Matt move on Sunday with my truck
and maybe a doctor's appt. Monday morning. I'd like to avoid going home
this weekend though. I wanna spend more time with my friends before the
year is over. So I'll be playin' it by ear.
Later Days,

| Peeps-
Yeah, peeps are good. Happy Easter Monday everyone. The weekend went quite well I must say.
I arrived home Thursday night to be bombarded my youngest sister Emily
and her friends, having an OC party. The OC is one of the few shows
that you just have to watch with tons of friends, especially if you're
a guy, or else you just look pathetic. Other than that, I just chilled
with my dad, drinkin beer and watchin tv and chilled with Andrea while
she painted that night.
Friday was pretty eventful, I must say. I woke up early to go to school
with Andrea att CCS (College for Creative Studies). Her Illustration
class goes from 9am-4pm! Yowzas! But it was cool and pretty laid back,
and you come and go as you please. The prof's nickname is Scary Joey,
who's cool, and you just paint and bullshit all day in that class. Then
we went out to lunch at the Detroit Brewing Co. for fish and chips.
mmmmmm........ After that I hung with Dave, Andrea's buddy, in the
Graphic Design department, where he showed me what it's all about
(since I'm interested in going into Graphic Design). They joke all the
tuition money goes to the Graphic Arts department, cuz that building is
the shit. It's so hi-tech. After spending a day with all those crazy
artists, we were gettin ready to book out at 4 when Scary Joey had to
keep Andrea after class. She was a naughty girl .
No, it was good news. She was selected as 1 of 4 students from the
school to represent CCS's Illustration department at an art conference
in San Francisco in July! She was so excited she threw up! . I'm so proud of her.
Then Andrea was running late for work, so I had to hanf at Gus
O'Connor's til I could get a ride. Natalie and her co-workers
(salonists - is that a word?) were having an informal meeting with
drinks there, so I joined in on the meeting. Yeah, I know what goes on
behind the scenes at a salon. haha. I applied as a bar back/food-runner
while I was there. Cross your fingers! Then Momsicles picked me up to
go home. We all watched the State game in HD, the only way to watch tv
anymore.
Saturday was kinda nice, kinda not. I did shit all day. Literally. I
scooped my dog's shit all day. It was everything saved up from the
winter. Blaa! I gotta teach Char to use the toilet, like Jinxy.
Sunday. Easter. Nice. Natalie took our family out for an Easter brunch
at Morel's in Southfield. It was a very fancy buffet, where we were all
treated like royalty. It was weird, but I liked it. I ate 'til it hurt.
After that, we went and checked out our old house in Southfield. So
many memories. Not. We moved outta there when I was 2 or 3. I'm glad I
don't live in that area though. Then all 10 of us went to visit Papa at
Wyandotte General Hospital, where we smuggled him some good food from
Morel's (we know people). Papa's supposed to be moving into his nursing
home this week, which we already decorated to make it feel homely (or
is it homey? I know there's a big dif.). So yeah, then we went home to
watch State beat Kentucky. Wooowee!!! What a game! Final Four baby!
Yeah, that's my school. Haha.
Alright, would you guys prefer I update like once a week, with longer
entries like this, or shorter entries more often? Too bad, I don't
care. I'll do it when I feel like it. OK, back to my studies. Psht...
Later Days,
Charlie Brown
p.s. Siffle died this weekend. It's bad, but I already replaced him
with a white goldfish with a red spot on its head. And the tank looks
good now. Need some names for the new guy...
