Ok, so I really didn't go to sleep. I really was, until I went into Laura's room to find a book of some sort and I began to put together the frame I got for her for the Dave Matthews poster. It took about 20 minutes, as it was confusing for one, and pretty hard to do by yourself since the glass seemed like it was going to break. Then I was standing there looking at her photos and stuff and I began to wonder. Why don't I have a lot of photos? I guess my family was not a photo family, like Ashley's or Laura's, but sometimes I wish they were. I like not having photos for reasons aplenty, but it's nice to have something to look at when you were younger. I guess my photo album is in my head. Thankfully I was blessed with great long-term memory and I remember thngs really cleary. I still remember when Nmy brother taught me how to ride a bicycle, when I played golf with my brothers, when I went to Disneyland with my Mom and when I used to go to my Dad's work and every trip that I have gone to. Most of the time it's best left in my head, but some of the great times I want to share it with people, but I can't. I can only tell them about it. That's frustrating in the inside. Though I probably will never be into taking pictures everywhere I go, I will take a few shots here and there. No reason. Just to have something. I look around my house and there's pictures and pictures in frames, albums, and just lying around of Ashley and her friends, Laura and her friends and so forth. I like looking at them. I don't know. Lately I've just been thinking because I have so much time on my hands. Nothing else to do. I think about some of the choices I've made and what would have happened if I chose different and I play out an alternate future. Do you do that? I've played out so many different paths, it's ridiculous. And in the end, I'm just fine where I am now. I have great friends, an okay living area (hehe), a good job, and a great girlfriend. It's hard sometimes in life just to think about the important things. If you're rich, then you can think about the luxury aspect. But if you're living paycheck to paycheck, like how I practically am, things are a whole lot different. Days and weeks are passing by so quickly for me, I feel like I'm wasting my life. It seems just yesterday, I moved into the dorms with Chris, setting up our room, computers, and furniture, getting ready for a crazy experience called college. College isn't as different as any other time of my life. I'm just opened up to a whole new group of people that I'll most likely never meet. :) The friends I make in middle school and H.S. don't mean anything they say and the friends you make in college are the special ones. Not that kind of special. You know what I mean. I think that's true to some extent. To me anyway. My life's been affected the most through college I think. I've learned a lot of things to do, not to do, and what I can do. I've learned to accept others the way they are and not try to change them. I've learned not to go without car insurance for 6 months and find out getting insurance afterwards is a humongous dent in your wallet. And I've learned that I can't live by myself. People need to be surrounded by people. I haven't really lived by myself like this ever and it sucks. Sometimes my best companion is sleep. Now's that's wasting my life. So, enough of this depressing blog crap and the other similar blogs that I've been writing recently. I think the Summer has hit bottom for me this year and from now in it's just on the rise, so I'm happy. If in one year I can learn to live with two crazy girls, :), be away from your loved one for 3 months, have absolutely no money to do anything and sleep all day, I think I can handle pretty much anything. Yup, anything. See ya.
I'm just about to log off, I mean, go to bed, for the night. I decided to sell a few more things on eBay to make my bills a little more pleasing to my wallet. I forgot to write this down a few days ago. I had a cup of water in my hand, well, actually I think it was on the desk. Anyhoo, I was doing whatever I was doing and I reached over the keyboard to touch the monitor or something and when I retracted my hand, it caught on the cup, spilling a few ounces of water on the major left side of the keyboard. I hastedly grabbed the keyboard, waving it around like a maniac in panic, trying to get the majority of the water out. At this time, I though the keyboard was shot. Electronics and water don't fair well the last time I checked. I was pissed, but I decided to stand the keyboard up behind the fan in the room and put the fan on full blast. I left for about 15 minutes and when I came back, the keyboard seemed dry and it worked! Thank you very much to the process of evaporation. This Logitech keyboard is one tough mother. I recommend you all get it if you spill stuff constantly, but just water. I don't know how it reacts to the aftermaths of Kool-Aid or Coke and I will rather not try. Thanks to Laura for getting me such a durable keyboard. The mouse right now is out of commission, just due to batteries, which I can't even find or get. The batteries in the mouse have just enough juice to keep the lights of the laser flickering, but not usable. Bummer. I am currently using Laura's mouse, as my other one just ceased to work. Yes, for no reason. Electronics sometimes. I went on eBay and discovered a wondrous section of "travel". There you can find lots of travel packages, cruises and stuff for so cheap!!!!! I'm talking less than $100 for a few nights stay at like, Cozumel, Puerto Vaerta (?), and Las Vegas. Damn, I have got to bid on one of these sometime. Maybe for me and Laura? Well, the room is beginning to heat up, probably because the enormous heat cloud that this monitor and computer produce, so I'm going to turn it off and read some books or something. Laura calls me tomorrow! (Hopefully after 8 to reduce the damn phone bill). Signing off...
Anna Faris is hot. Check out www.anna-faris.com and you'll see what I'm talking about. If you don't know who she is, she's the girl from Scary Movie 1 and 2. Anyway, I realized that I work differently than most people. Granted, all people are different, to an extent, but I'm extreme. I'm extreme about punctuality, cleanliness (sometimes) and stuff like that. Another thing weird about me is that I learn from trying. That's not such a bad thing, but when it comes to getting a pet, like I did about a month ago, that's the only way to go for me. Of course, there are people, like my Mom and Laura, who say that I should have thought about it more. Yes, true, but thinking only takes you so far. What if I wanted to experience it too? Anyhow, sometimes even I think it's weird for me to have a dog for a month to figure out that it just wasn't going to work and I had to give it back. The dog might have had it coming too. Everytime a thunder goes, it came running upstairs. It put its paws in the water dish and made a mess. Ran around like an idiot sometimes.Yeah, oh well. I learned my lesson. I need time and money. The bike that I was going to get is probably going to work the same way. I can't get enough until I have it and tried for it myself. I don't take stories from others' experience. Just not enough, you know? I will get the damn bike myself if it takes months or years. I will get the bike. Earlier today I thought my fridge was broken again, but luckily it wasn't. Just some condensation from the open water dispenser. It's going away now. It's a really cool night out tonight. Temperature wise. I looked at my phone bill...$19 over. It was $61. God damn! I went over on the anytime minutes. Probably calling and talking to Laura. I'll have to tell her we need to keep it lower this time. I can't pay these outrageous prices. The last month was fucking $48. It's just rising and rising. Well, I'm going to do some research on the 'net on some stuff I wanted to look up.
