Holy shmoly

Ok, at work, so I'm going to keep this brief.

I went and saw Alkaline Trio last night with Jessica, Amber, Rob, and Laura. It was a fucking awesome show. I loved it. Mike Park, the owner of Asian Man Records, played as the second act. He did a DVD movie at the beginning that he sang to. It was very very political, and specifically, very very liberal. That being said, I LOVED it. Colossal played first. I'm not sure why, but I think I was the only person that really liked them. Amber and Rob were both kinda "meh" about them, but I like 'em a lot. No matter, Alkaline Trio blew them both out of the water. It was a pretty rough show, I got mashed into the middle of the crowd and had my shit tossed several times. It was a lot of fun. I haven't done something like that since Taking Back Sunday at Warped Tour. I'm glad that I had the chance to jump around and sweat my ass off. By the time we left, my shirt and t-shirt were both soaked through, my favorite hoodie was on the stage, and my jeans were sweaty. My favorite gray hoodie, yes, the one that I wore for like 4 years straight, became one of the many lost goods at an Alkaline Trio. But hey, at least Dan and Matt both looked at it when it hit the stage :). Good end to a great hoodie... RIP.

Anyways, my girl is coming down today to get her suitcase from her mom and go shopping with her mom, grandma, and sister. I hope I will have a chance to see them at some point (whether before or after my final).

Speaking of finals. I had one this morning at 8:30am. I ended up going to bed at 5:00 am last night after staying up studying and talking to Andrea after she got off work. So, needless to say, I'm pretty freaking tired. I am not coming in to work this afternoon - opting instead to nap and study for my final at 6pm. Should be a blast.

Anyways, I'm tired of typing and I should get back to work. Peace out ladies and gents.

Last Real Week!!!

Ok, I'm posting finally.

This is my last week of legitimate class and caring. I have two finals this week and other than that, I'm DONE!!! No exams on exam week so basically after my final at 6pm on Thursday, I'm free as hell!!!

Andrea and I got to spend a lot of time together this weekend. I went up to CMU on Friday and spend the night with her. Adam turned 22 so they had a huge kegger. Then, on Saturday I had to go get my snow tires changed to normal street tires. Unfortunately, my sister didn't tell me that the old tires were worn out so I ended up spending $220 on new tires. After that I took the finalized website I made for the guy in Midland. Made $50 doing that for him, nothing much but enough. The rest of Saturday I got to spend time with Andrea and do my best to recover from the previous tough week that we had. I think that we cleared up any problems that we had. We both had enough of the fighting stuff.

Now, its 1:07am, Rob and I have been talking a bit. I'm getting pretty tired now.

I can't wait for school to be done. This Saturday is Reggae Fest up at CMU (in Oil City), then New York City after graduation, then Lollapalooza is July 23-24. I'm pretty pumped up for all of these! I can't wait to do some traveling, it should be a lot of fun! :)

Ok all for now, I'm spent.

Shitty

Last night was shitty, today was shitty... therefore I'm not in a very good mood.

I just wish Andrea and I didn't have to fight. I know we'll get through this eventually, but its times like these that make me question our relationship and really truly make me worried. I know she is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, but when we don't get along I can't help but doubt some things..

Enough is enough.. I'm gonna go lie down. I'm spent.

In bed...

I'm in bed, really tired and lonely.

I wish Andrea was here. I always seem to sleep easier when shes around. I think I will see her this weekend since I'm going up to CMU and Midland. Hopefully that all works out... otherwise I'm gonna be bummed.

Anyways, I'm tired. I just wanted to remind myself that I miss her or something. Later all.

Sooo Bored!!!

I'm really tired, I am sitting in this damn TC 464 class with a damn stick up my ass. Everyone went to the freaking Lugnuts game tonight, but no, not me... I'm stuck with my thumb in my ass, rotating, in my boring ass class. I have to present today so I can't simply leave like I really want to.

Regarding my burning eyes. I've been staying up too damn late doing stupid shit and now I'm definitely paying for it. My eye lids continually falling shut and the corners of my eye lids feel like they've been sliced open. Very unpleasant thought I know, but its the truth. My eyes.... yes.... dying.

Anyways, I think I'm going to sign my lease tomorrow for the summer. I'm going to stay in the Capitol Villa complex, very close to where I was last year, second floor though. I'm kind of pissed though because if I had known that I was going to be in the area I could have reserved my own apartment for the summer instead of having to change apartments (a huge pain in my ass).

Well, I'm pretty tired of typing, but then again, I'm far more tired of sitting here. But anyways, I'm outta here... PEACE!

What A Day...

So, I did a very important thing today... I organized my music. Yep, instead of having it all organized in various genres, I now have all of my bands organized via alphabet. All of the bands are organized into 4 folders (ex. a-f, g-l, m-r, s-z). That means one thing - my day is complete.

On another note, this is the second week in a row that I have missed Harpers on Wednesday. Thats kinda poopy, but I'm sure I'll make it before the end of the year.

This weekend is going to be great... I can't wait to be with Andrea, without any worries that are associated with school. I get to spend time with her GREAT family and her. Its our one year on Saturday so Friday we're going to spend the day together doing who knows... Hopefully it is a nice day so we can do something special (errrr something).

Anyways, I'm really wearing down. I miss you honey... xoxo.

Put the Lime in the Coke, you nut

I gotta pee. I'm sitting in front of my tv surfing the web, getting more and more tired, but I'm still reluctant to get off my ass and go pee. Go figure.

Andrea is working 10pm - 2am, but she might be staying until close if her boss can't find someone to come help close for them. That would suck because I was looking forward to talking to her as usual.

Hmm, what else to write... Pamela Anderson is on Jay Leno and I SWEAR that her nipples are showing through her shirt. Maybe though, its my imagination - what can I say - its been a while or something.

Anyways, I'm out of here, I think I'm getting tired.

Bored, Tired, and Exhausted

I'm at the library. I just got done with my group project and now I'm waiting for bball to start at IM Circle. Today is my final in that class so I have to go and coach the team I'm assigned. Somehow, based on our coaching tactics (which we have never practiced the entire semester) we will be graded and scored for our final grade. Funny how that works eh?

So, I'm super sore. I think all that ice skating and broomball on Saturday night and Sunday morning have really hit me. I was so sore that when I was showering this morning I actually had to lean over and try to touch my toes cause the back of my legs hurt so much. Needless to say, I only got as far as my knees.

On a lighter note, its another beautiful spring day - much like the last. I can't wait for summer. As much as I love sunny days during school, I love them so much more when I'm up north on my boat, soaking up some sunlight. Regarding that though, I learned that in order for sunscreen to be effective, you need to apply it 15 to 30 minutes BEFORE you enter the sun. Just keep that in mind the next time you hit the beach.

I will be posting a few pictures, some from this weekend, some from last weekend, to add to my gallery online. I've been trying to take a few more pictures this semester so I don't finish school without as many memories collected as possible. Check my picture site for those.

I think I'm going to New York City this summer. I talked to my Mom yesterday and she said that all I need to do is tell my Dad what days I want to go and she and my Dad will take the time off. Thats pretty exciting! I think we'll just go for a long weekend, but no matter - it will be awesome. Hopefully Andrea can come and spend some long family time with my parents; I need her to show off her personality :-)!

Anyways, I'm outta here... this weekend I will be in Utica for some of Andrea's family events. Friday is also reserved for Andrea time - it will be our only opportunity to celebrate our 1 year (which is Saturday!).

All for now, will write more tomorrow.

Sitting Outside

MY LOVE IS HERE!!!! I'M OUTSIDE!!! ITS A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!! I'M OFFICIALLY IN HEAVEN!

I think this weekend was one of the best ever. I had a GREAT time! We did the Relay - having raised over $1300, hung out with some of my best, closest friends, and got my laptop!!!

Therefore, I'm sitting outside of Amber's place, updating my journal. Kendra, Amber, and Andrea are all here, we're just chatting it up and relaxing in the lovely weather.

Thats all I'm going to post for now... back to enjoying the day!

Just a reminder - Andrea is the most beautiful person I have ever known.

Bored

I'm stuck at work again, trying to make some money, but this boredom is KILLIN me! Oh well, only one more hour... or hour and a half if I can muster it.

Tonight I'm going to Relay for Life Bank Night with Ashley. I'm really stressing this Relay for Life thing since I've never done it and I'm pretty unsure how things work at them. Oh well, now that Ashley is Co-Captain I'm sure she can help, or something. Anyways, we raised over $950 so far, only $50 away from our goal!!! I think we will actually reach our $1000 goal if we can get another couple donations.

On another note, last night I went to a BBQ over at Amber, Krista, and Kendra's place. Josh came with me which was nice since we haven't hung out barely at all this semester. We played some frisbee, football, and even a bit of beer pong. Josh and I won one of the two games we played, but since Josh only made like 2 shots all night, we got beat by Amber and Joe in the last game. Oh well, we had a ton of fun. By the time the game came on, everyone was a bit buzzed if not wasted so few came inside to watch the game (which it turned out was a good thing). We got destroyed by Baylor. Damn, and I thought we actually had a chance at the National Title! Oh well, Men got to the Final Four and Women got to the Championship game so I guess I shouldn't be complaining.

On top of that, Andrea is sick now. I convinced her to stay home and sleep all day instead of going to class. She has to work tonight so I think its best that she slept all day instead of being up and sickly all day. Last I talked to her she was feeling better and her headache had gone away. Hopefully she is all better and ready to walk a ton on Saturday... my feet need everyones help.

Ok, all for now... GO STATE!

Done and DONE

Ok, so I just got off the phone with Amy from Auto Owners. I have officially accepted the offer for Senior Technical Support with them. Yes, I'm pretty pumped!! I can't wait to go and get everything started! It sounds like a great company to work for.

I am starting Monday, June 6. That way, I get a few weeks to find a place to live (if my current place isn't good enough), as well as relax and enjoy the beginning of the summer. I might even do some traveling, hopefully to the East Coast. My Dad mentioned possibly going to New York City with the main goal of seeing a temporary art museum that we saw on TV. Nonetheless, it should be a great few weeks of relaxing and lounging! I can't wait!

This weekend was something else. For those of you that didn't get to go out for the MSU game, you really missed out. It was spectacular. Yes, we lost, boo hoo. It sucks I know, but I'm over it. Me, Andrea, Amber, Joe, Matt, Krista, Kendra, Nick, Justin, Brian, Kelly, Ashley, as well as a few others, gathered at Joe's place to watch the game and drink a few. They got the keg around 3 and we all started drinking and relaxing around 4. Basically, by the time the game came on at 9 we were all hammered. We finished the keg shortly after the game and the pony was soon bought. At some point thereafter, we all managed to wander outside and follow the crowd downtown. Upon making it to BDubs, we were surprised by the cops a block away that decided to launch tear gas at us without warning. Lovely. To those of you that didn't get the joy of experiencing it, you missed out. Running from the fumes, not only do your eyes fill with tear (hence the name), but also you lose your breathe and continue to gab yourself uncontrollably until either you puke all your stomache contents up, or you somehow get dragged out of the poisonous air. Nonetheless, we all got separated in the stampeed away from the gas, but I managed to find Joe, Amber, and Andrea after I finished puking up whatever on the corner kiddie-corner to BDubs. Yea, if you step in something nasty over there - IT WAS ME! Anyways, I guess it was a little lame that the Police decided to tear gas a group of people being no more unruly then those who storm a football field after an upset. Whatever, I guess I'd have been nervous if I was one of them with drunks all around in huge groups.

Anyways, I got to spend a long weekend with my girl and loved every minute of it.

GO LADY SPARTANS!!!
