Easy Money the Hard Way (Part 3) – Mad Chaos: February 24, 1999

Gym Rivals Return

Far from our talks of the Nintendo Lyssa commented about Imad and how along with Ali they are both starting at the gym again. “Imad was taken back by how big you were when he saw you a couple of weeks ago and because of that the both of them want to start heading back to the Gym” Lyssa said. Hoping that they weren’t heading to Olympus Gym, I would probably have to find myself alternative times to work out down there if I did see them there. Also speaking of the Gym, Keith now wants to also train with me at Olympus. What’s happening? It’s a boom.

Lyssa and I ended our conversation at 10:30 p.m. as she was just about to head to sleep. Hearing a knock on my door I had to answer it and being Ralf I told Lyssa in a considerate manner that I had to get going and considering she was almost falling asleep on her bed she didn’t mind. Now that Lyssa knows what it’s like to talk to me outside of her kitchen she sees it in a whole different perspective.

Lying on her bed for that half an hour late in the night and chatting to me Lyssa started to drift off to sleep and for a little while she was acting silly because of her lethargy. Lyssa was very tired and needed to go to sleep and acted all goofy in her answers. Nevertheless, she is now fast asleep as I type in this diary. In fact, mostly everyone that I know is probably sleeping at this particular moment. I am the true nocturnal of my nature.

Playstation and a Pop Single

Hanging up the phone I also noticed that Shawn was coming through the door and he had a Playstation in his hand. As Shawn set up the Playstation in my room I walked Ralf out to his car with his two CDs and while there we just chatted about his trip to New Zealand and how he got entitlement of the land. Shawn soon came down and asked Ralf if he would drive him back home because he had forgotten to bring Madden 99. During this time Keith drove down the street as he also wanted to play Madden 99 and as Ralf was leaving I placed a picture of the weekend and any thoughts of suggestions in his head.

Walking back into my house with Keith he showed me the CD that I wanted called “Babe one more time” and I think the artist is called Bridgett Sparrow. Being an enhanced single CD I put it in my working computer to access the video clip, the lyrics and all other cool shit about her. Finding out she was only 17 years old Keith also informed me that she’s sold the most singles and made the most money in the first week ever. This means that she has topped sales of every single CD ever brought out and that includes ‘One Sweet Day’, ‘End Of The Road’, and any other single that would have been a best seller.

Keith and the Stolen Card

Before Shawn came over Keith threw out a Credit Card from his wallet and after letting out a little laugh he told me of his newest scandal. Ace told Keith that if he could steal a Credit Card from one of his customers by simply forgetting to give it back Ace could get his sister to use that Credit Card and have her make him heaps of money.

Well, Keith took up this offer and after three unsuccessful attempts to forget to give back a Credit Card he got some dumb lady that forgot to ask for it back. This woman was so dumb that she left with the pump still in her gas tank and as we all know, this could have blown up the whole petrol station.

Keith was cheering when she didn’t come back for the whole day and still having her card he showed me how her name was so easy to forge. So once again, Keith is in for the easy money the hard way despite him having a great paying job already. If Keith was in my position or that of Simon’s I would understand but being so greedy after getting so much money, that’s just a whole new definition of greed.

On top of that, Shawn asked later in the night that Keith get something for him while the Credit Card was getting spent but Keith was too greedy to offer that. Rather, Keith is going to get Ace’s sister to buy him a Playstation with tons of games and then she can spend the rest of it herself.

Simon and the Celica

On the other end of greed and money we started talking about Simon and how he still hasn’t found his car. On the other hand, Magnus swapped his car for two lesser cars and one of them being a Celica, Simon was going to drive over and show it to me. That just brings into attendance how Simon still doesn’t suspect a thing from any of us in the likes of betrayal.

That is now Simon’s new car since he hasn’t found his own car and already, he’s bought Keith’s wheels from him and placed them on the Celica paying him off by the month. Magnus is now living with Simon and Lucas and I was told that the Nintendo could have been Magnus’s. Do I really care. Keith was going to warn me when Simon was going to come over on Monday because he thought I still had the Nintendo at my house but he would have been wrong.

Finally Winning at Madden

From 11:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. this morning the three of us played Madden 99 and after four unfavorable games I finally won one. Keith beat me and then he played Shawn and got beaten then for our final game he played me and I kicked his ass. At the start of our games Keith ordered Pizza once again and as we feasted upon them we also devoured some more Maxibons where I was given the satisfaction of eating two of them.

My parents as usual were bothered by the noise after midnight but we kept it down until Keith and Shawn left. Since the departure of the both of them I have been watching television and gearing myself up to type in this Diary. Just one more thing now before I leave at this 4:25 a.m. morning. For Friday night if I don’t go out Lyssa and I will be going out to watch a movie and then coming to my house to play Nintendo.
