Bank of America can go jump off a building!

A very tall building! I, my friends, am devastated. Let me tell you the little story. So on Monday when I hung out at SDSU with Bobby and Cynthia, I decided since my check was SUPPOSED to go in on the 7th, it would be okay to overdraw from my account. I bought Bobby and I breakfast at Jack in the Box and Cynthia and myself some drinks at Starbucks, since you know, I'm getting paid today. Turns out, my job does not pay me! So I'm already starting to stress because I don't want them to charge me overdraft fee's which is like 35 bucks for each time you overdraw and since it was twice it would be 70 bucks! I'm not worrying about it and I just wait for my check to go in on the 8th. It doesn't go on the 8th! Thanks Cottonwood Golfclub, because you can't pay me on time, I'm going to be short some 80 bucks. Whatever, I don't care, just let them take my damn money and thats it. I finally get paid on the 9th (2 days late, fuck you Cottonwood) and I have to pay rent away. I take out all of my money and leave about 15 bucks in there. That's fine whatever, I can buy myself lunch and maybe go out later. The next morning my Mom asks if she can use my card to buy herself a coffee from 7-11. Now, remember, I'm supposed to have 15 bucks in there. I go to work as usual and I'm thinking of my funds in my head. "Mom spent around 3 bucks so I should have 12 left" I buy my lunch using my debit card. After work comes and I decide I should buy some milk and put some gas in the car. This is where the horror starts. I call my bank to check how much money I have left and...I'm negative $27!!! WTF!?!? I'm immediately pissed off because I KNOW I should have had SOME money in there! I go home and jump online really fast to see where the hell that money went. Turns out they charged me a SECOND overdraft fee from the other day! What the hell!? Tell me how that makes any sense!? I have money in there so you think you can take more for a fee I already paid off? That's fucking bullshit. Because I didn't know my account was overdrawn, since my Mom had bought her coffee and I bought myself lunch, that's going to be 2 more overdraft fees! Right now I'm -97.00 dollars and I think I have one more fee coming...That fucking blows. I called them up to ask if there was anyway to reverse the fee and the lady says; "No, I'm sorry I tried but there is nothing I can do about it..." Yeah, I'm pretty pissed off about it. I don't make much money as it is, I really can't be giving away money like that...so after this next check I'm closing my Bank of America account and going back to Union Bank. I never had a problem with them before. So FUCK YOU Bank of America and your ridiculous overdraft fees!!! And FUCK YOU Cottonwood for not paying me WHEN I'M SUPPOSED TO GET PAID!!! As of now, I'm stressed, but whatever, I'll survive. Vicki is going to take me to see The Princess and the Frog later so I can calm down a bit...In any case, later.

Jeremy's "Patrick Star" moment of 2009

Let's face it, I'm not exactly the brightest crayon in the box. I certainly have my "not-so-smart" moments on a weekly basis. Well, this year I did two very brainless acts that really stood out among them all. One being the time I hung out with my friend Kristine and I grabbed the wrong key to my apartment and got us locked out >_< which was one very embarrassing adventure especially since I had a such a crush on her at the time! The second most idiotic moment happened on Monday morning, and let me tell you this one takes the cake. I had went over to Bobby's house on Sunday night, and so the last time I went over my wallet had fallen behind one of his dressers and I was looking all over his room like crazy. This time I made sure I was going to keep track of all my shit so that doesn't happen again. Before we go to bed I put all of my things that I need for the next day including my wallet in a brown Trader Joes bag. Since it's Monday Bobby has school at SDSU so I wake up around 6:30 and start to get ready. I head to bathroom, brush my teeth, wash my face, change my clothes and return to the room. I grab my Zune and then look in my bag for my wallet. It's not in there. I'm already freaking out because I KNOW I put it in my bag before I went to went. I start searching frantically all over Bobby's room for it and I cannot find it anywhere. At this point, I'm really mad at myself because I tried so hard to avoid losing anything. It's time to leave and I ask Bobby's younger siblings Angie and Joey if they can keep an eye out for it, which of course they say ok and knowing them I can count them to do so. Bobby and I get dropped off at the trolley station and as we wait around I ask him for a couple bucks for the trolley since I don't have my wallet. Bobby has no cash, so he calls him Mom and asks if I can borrow a couple dollars. Which is great because I don't want to risk boarding the trolley with out a ticket and then its the one day security actually ask for tickets. So Bobby's Mom comes back a couple minutes later and he gets the $2.50. We had missed the trolley and I feel bad because I'm making Bobby run a little late, but of course being the best bud that he is, doesn't mind and says its ok. I get my ticket and we hop on the next trolley. We're both listening to our zunes when I decide to replay a song (Alejandro by Lady GaGa). As I put my hand in my pocket I feel something else. It's my wallet. I let out a major sigh of relief which is then followed quickly by a hot rush of embarrassment. I then take it of my pocket and show it to Bobby. I don't even say anything. He looks at it. He looks at me. He shakes his head in disappointment. We both laugh about it, but I feel like a total dork. I must have sub-consciously grabbed it from my bag and put it in my pocket when I was getting ready in the morning. All that trouble and it was in my pocket the entire time. Fail Jeremy Fail! I'm so giving myself the "Worgin Fail Award" of the month. Bobby and I always compare our friendship to SpongeBobs and Patricks, and let me tell you, I definitely see a lot of my self in Patrick Star. 2010 is almost here, so I'm definitely going to try to keep focus and pay attention to every little thing the coming year! In anycase, see ya later!
