i am getting a cell phone. yeah...i am probably the last person on earth, but oh well, better late than never.
i have this dog...she is adorable...and part mental.
i have this appointment on saturday morning...i get to paint a house for an elderly person in the ghetto of the ghetto(danville, il). if anybody wants to join me, you are more than welcome to. you get 2 t-shirts and breakfast and lunch. yes, breakfast includes coffee. i would love if anybody wanted to help.
i have this weekend to look forward to.
i am going to try and get my tattoos touched up tomorrow.
good clean fun is such a good band. damn.
buffalo wild wings is my favorite resteraunt, currently.
even when i am busy, i am really bored.
i have this band, paladin, that i am really psyched about. the only problem is, i am not sure about all of the members and i am not completely sure i even want to write everything. we shall see.
cheers mates.

sorry i have been so disconnected and missed out on about a month of everybodys life. a combination of my new psychotic puppy and the end of term have kept me quite busy. my summer is pretty much up to suggestion. hit me up, dear friends.
also, i test drove an 04 nissan sentra today. i am thinking it is probably a go.

so. this is probably going to be the best weekend ever. its starting out on such a high note that i kind of want to jump off of a bridge before it can get any better. i am pissed off way too much and that is not natural for me. i would like to think that people know me as laid back and easy going. i haven't been all that easy going lately. but enough bitching - things could be worse.
i have this idea for a tattoo. well, i have several ideas for tattoos, but this one i am thinking about getting tomorrow. across the front of my ankles - positive living. positive on one ankle, living on the other, naturally. i wanted to incorporate 'positive living' into this other tattoo project that i have been thinking about for a while, but, i think this might be more my style. now then, do i want varsity or an old english style font. decisions decisions.
so, back to bitching, i got home at like a quarter til 10. i cut my hair and took a shower. now i am getting ready to do my indiana state taxes. it wouldn't be bad if it took up more time, but it will only take up about 10 minutes. thats lame as shit. so, after my taxes, i am thinking that i might finish/start some homework for around an hour or so. my goal is to be in bed by midnight, why? because i will just keep bitching in my head about the most stupid and pointless shit that doesn't matter to anybody but me. once again i am being negative. i am trying my hardest to stay positive. i am positive that going to bed by midnight on a friday evening/saturday morning should never be anybodys goal. fuck that.
i need a puppy.

so who/what are my influences? i cant really tell you. who are they supposed to be? my friends? my family? its hard man...this world is fucked and i only know of a few people i can count on and even less that i can look up to. i am trying to stay positive. to BE positive, but its tough when the most common emotion that i feel these days seems to be absolute frustration. i want to love people...i want to help people, but nobody wants love. nobody wants help. when i say love i am speaking of true friendship. how many friends do we really have? i made a list of some people last night and it was small enough to count on one hand. sure i have a bag of people that like to hug when we meet and when we part, but what is there past that? an interest in similar music and similar ideas? a lukewarm relationship masked as friendship with all of the same people? a penned in date that might get broken when something else comes up, leaving neither party feeling very upset? not listening, but simply waiting to talk to voice your opinion about the issue at hand? fuck that. it isn't friendship. i appreciate all of you, as 98% of the people reading this falls into this category, but where is the dedication? i am not claiming to be any better than anybody else, but i am only one person. i am not able to stretch myself enough to make up for everybody else. back to the help part i was speaking of...everybody needs help with something. when we get down and out how many times have we just learned to lean on ourselves? when we get in a bind how many times have we just sucked it up and got through it. that sucks...this world is too hard and too damn depressing to get through this shit on our own. i know i am not on my own, but i also know there are very few people that have stuck through thick and thin and that sucks because man, right now its real fucking thin. maybe i am just being ridiculous. maybe i get disapointed too easily. either way, this is me being honest. and what is the most important thing about being friends? being honest. i am not asking anything from anybody, just to let you know, i have just been struggling with this lately and tonight...man...its the night to get it out.
another important note: alcohol is my sworn fucking enemy.
i love you. honestly.

spring 2006 semester started today. i am psyched. its weird, it seems like one of my new professors is a choad face and another new one is an extremely happy go lucky type of person. we shall see.
in other news, sarah and i installed a customized plexi-glass lid for our hermit crab terrarium this weekend. its only custom because we had it cut at lowe's and then drilled four holes in it to set some leather straps for handles. it is definitely stylish. We got plexi-glass instead of screen to help trap moisture. humidity is more or less how crabs breathe...they have gills not lungs, so if it is too dry, they will die. let me say, it is working quite well as i came home after work and there was condensation on the sides of the tank, which is a good thing. now then, hopefully no bastard insects decide that they like the warm humid air as well. today i introduced a new water dish containing salt water(note, if you are reading this, it isn't like water with table salt - table salt has iodine that will kill the crabs). I also reorganized their environment a great deal and created an almost completely underground(which may or may not be completely covered if i get some more calci-sand) cave and a coconut fiber backdrop for them to climb on. my crab, igor, is all about it. he hasn't gotten off of it since i put it in...he just keeps climbing to the top and then across to the other side and back again. sarah's crab, bruce, is a million times more interested in the 3/4 underground cave. he hasn't gotten out since he discovered it. soooo...not that any of you care, but you know, just so you know, hermit crabs are incredible if you treat them all well and proper. these guys have it made here...at least...i think they do.
next project? get more sand and possibly look into building a completely custom tank and stand. it shouldn't be all that difficult - just have 5 equal sized pieces of glass, a pentagon shaped piece of glass(not too sure about this part of it, can hardware stores cut glass into shapes?), an equally sized piece of plexi-glass fit with handles, and then build a wooden stand with drawers to hold their food and stuff. and then some neat day lights and moon lights. hmmn....this will be expensive, but i want to do it, so...it will just have to wait.
anyway, i have wasted enough of everybodys time, its off to do some text book reading. cheers.

first things first - semester one over and done. straight A's. nice.
i hope everybody had a great christmas. i know that i did. sarah was sick the entire time, but that is ok, the flu is the flu. except when it is food poisoning.
i am now in posession of a great new zippo. it has two crossed anchors on the bottom half and a compass and spy glass on the top section. the best part? the back has 'INHC' engraved on it. inhc for life. that was sarah's main present to me.
i got two champion cd's, a blue monday cd & poster, a betrayed cd & poster, and a miles away cd & poster. i didn't even know bands made posters...like...obviously eminem makes posters, but you know what i mean.
kenneth cole reaction. i currently smell like heaven.
i got other stuff too, but those were just my favorites.

ughhhhhhhhhhh.........its 5:30 in the morning. i should be asleep, but i am not really tired. I have been home for several hours, not ready to be done with my evening. but alas, nobody in there right mind is up at 5:30 in the morning with nothing to do. oh well.
i went to a bar tonight to see some old friends. thankfully, i was only at the bar long enough to drink a can of seven-up, listen to ring of fire by johnny cash, like a rolling stone by bob dylan, and lets go by the cars. it was ok, just not fulfilling. that is the second bar i have been in. the first was when i was in this band and i was 17 or so. both times i generally had a sort of sad feeling. the seven-up tasted like shit.
well...i suppose i am going to play some mvp baseball 2005 and wait until i need to sleep. take care.

so, this weekend was wicked good. i had a really good time in bloomington. thanks sharlie and andy. it was a total blast even if i had to find a bathroom every five minutes because as it turns out, i have the bladder of a diabetic. or a preganant woman, your pick. sunday was fun too, i saw harry potter with sarah, josh, bern, and marc. it was good....but shit, i cant help but think there was a lot of stuff left out, you know? i think the movie was over two and a half hours long, but still...i dont read the books, but i am pretty sure that if i did, i would be pissed that they left stuff out. oh well. it was still worth the 5 dollars. thats right, 5 dollar movie tickets. late.

south newton had an awesome murder mystery style play. i enjoyed it quite thoroughly. sarah stole the show along with her friend chad. well...really the whole cast was good, they were just the best. it was really clever. there was a clue hunt! how i love clue hunts. you had to break codes. how i love breaking codes! sarah is doing night two of it right now.
i just spent the last like four hours downloading nothing but hardcore, like atreyu and eighteen visions. yeah, its a joke. you should check out the warriors. props to amy d for her assistance in this issue.
my spine hurts.
sarah and i ate some terrible mexican food today. it was straight up white people making the food. how generic? they obviously dont know what they are doing. they do, however, have good guacamole.

so, because i am a fantastic help at my job, i earned a briefcase. it is super sweet and i plan on carrying it at all times. this old guy at work said it looks more like an isaeli messenger bag than a briefcase. i was perplexed. i mean, i wouldn't call it a messenger bag(mb for future reference), for the simple fact that it doesn't have the flap thing that the stereotypical mb has. it is, however, made to be slung over your shoulder like a mb. either way, its sweet stuff and a nice replacement for my old back pack that i stopped using because the fabric was ripping. this has blue cross/blue shield written on the side of it. i can't decide if that makes it the best or worst thing of all time. time will tell dearies.
on a side note that is much less exciting, some co-workers and i decided to take dirty jo dirt out to lunch today. who is dirty jo dirt, you might ask? a dear woman, without a doubt. she is old and her name is jo. she has breast cancer and after this week, there is a chance that she will never be back to work. who knows about that for sure, but, its a chance and that is terribly sad. even though she is a blind democrat, i love that woman to death.

So...it has been forever since i last updated livejournal. i am such a bad person. oh well...to update, I am doing just fine in college...A's, except for my douche bag rhetoric class, where my professor keeps giving me B+s. he keeps giving me really silly reasons for it, too....like what, might you ask? like too much detail and description. whatever dude. i dont know, but i am getting excited about halloween. i cannot wait to visit a store to buy halloween gear. I suggested to sarah that we dress up as characters from spaceballs. i could be john candy's dog character and she could be the mock of the princess. i dunno, that is probablly a dumb idea, but who cares? not this guy, because its all in fun. right? right.
so, to leave you with something that i found to be hilarious, and kind of sad, but anyway:
Jesse is lame: euthanasia is legal in oregon. were you aware?
ifightforcobra: really? wow....so do you have to be a citizen or can you just go to oregon and do it?
Jesse is lame: i'm not sure. i havent looked that far into it yet. i'm assuming you must be a citizen because you hear about people sending people to nursing homes instead of oregon.

just in case i am not the last person to watch the OC, do it! its totally my favorite show of all time. at least right now, mayhaps that will change. i have only seen season one...thats right bitches, over 12 hours straight of nothing but the OC. it was great.
also, sin city is an awesome movie. like woah.

i have been studying and watching deadwood all night...its so lame. i havent even thought about algebra and geometry since i was in 8th and 9th grade, respectively. i thought that maybe i would be like, ohhhhhhh, i finally understand geometry. no dice, i am still clueless. algebra is starting to click though.
oh, why am i studying? i have college placement tests tomorrow...i guess they are going to last for around 5 hours...i have always been a fast test taker, so maybe they wont really last that long.
anyway. plans plans plans. hopefully i get to do things i want to, without stepping on any toes. lets cross our fingers.
