It's not later tonight, but I'm back. It's Friday and there's not a thing to do in the town. Chris and I took some pictures of our cars. He's gonna get it scanned and gonna put it up on the website. Anyway, O.A.R. concert. Yes, that was an awesome concert. It was my first one too. Gov't Mule was the opening band and I hate to say it, but they sucked. Really bad. It dragged on until finally they left and O.A.R. came on. I'm hooked on them right now. Ashley for the most part moved out. We helped move her shit because of course, she can't do it. Her place is nice, but some areas are small. Still, over kill for one person. It's like living in the high stakes if you know what I mean. School is over next Thursday! Hell yeah. I'm gonna sell my books back on Monday. Well, I'm gonna need a few of them, well, then again, maybe. What the fuck am I talking about. I don't even have to worry about needing them. My days are screwed up. So, now that's over with, I think I'm going to go on ahead and learn some O.A.R. tabs. I might get a 4.0 this semester!

I'm a little busy at the moment, but I'll be back hopefully later tonight to inform you on the various happenings in the last few days. In short, I was at an O.A.R. concert and got some tests back and Ashley, well TJ, has started moving out to her new place.

Okay, so I didn't come back right after I said I would. I had to take care of some business and it was time to sleep. Today was a rather uneventful day. I overheard my boss and the bigger boss about them not having that much funds in the CSU account that pays for me and my supervisor's pay. I was like, I don't like where this is going. I hope I don't get laid off or something. That would suck big time. Anyway, right now, I feel like doing nothing. Literally nothing. I don't even want to be typing this right now, but I have nothing else to do. We went to Jim's Wings and I guess it was fun. Not something I'd do again, that's for sure. I don't know what we're doing tonight. Everyone is getting excited and shit about moving out to their new places. We're not even moving out yet. I'm convinced that we're going to stay here until the lease goes up in July. I don't really mind, though. I don't want to move all my shit to the other apartment anyway. It's going to be such a pain. It's near the end of the semester and I'm starting to get a little behind in terms of class assignments and reading. It's as though I'm loosing my momentum, you know? Oh well. Hopefully I'll do just as well this summer at CSU. I can't fuck up. Period. If I do, I don't know what's going to happen. I'll probably die. Lots of bills coming my way too, recently. It sucks. I may find another job to have some extra cash. My room's a mess. I've said that before, but, again, I don't want to do anything right now. I might go lay down or something and read a magazine. I don't know. I hate Mondays. Um, yeah, so I'm gonna stop writing now. See ya.

4 more days until heaven. Yeah, I know what I mean. This weekend we went to Elitch Garden's grand opening. It was fun, though it cost an arm and a leg. It was the day that I tried the XLR8R, which is basically a bungee/swing type ride. $15 extra to ride and Laura, Ellen and I did it. It was fun as hell. I admit, I was a little nervous waiting, but once we began the process of getting strapped up and all that, I was fine. They made me pull the rope that released us. The scariest was probably when we were being pulled up to the launch point. We were just looking straight down until we released it. Come to think of it, I was so into being ready to pull the rope that I don't think I ever looked around to see the scenery. I remember look at the top of the structure of the swing and I was like, whoa, that's high and I was trying to compare it to Tower of Doom, but I don't remember. The first 70 feet I guess is a straight free fall. That was the most fun part. Then after that, the bungee cord kicks in and you start to swing and not fall. We're going pretty fast though, I guess it said around 70 mph. That's pretty fast I guess. Anyway, yeah, it was a fun ride. The entire day was fun. Chris and Ashley were flirting around all day and they were pretty much dating, if you ask me. The last ride we went on, Ashley wanted to go on the boat ride so I went with her. I was sure that we wouldn't get soaked, but alas, we did. I dried pretty quick though. Afterwards, we came back and we were all tired as hell, so we took a nap. Later on, Susan and Grant came by and we went to Johnny Carino's to eat dinner. Target afterwards where we saw Ben and Remi. The entire day was fun I guess. Ashley moves out on Thursday. I don't know how much she's going to move out or if she's going to start staying there for the month or what, but we'll see on Thursday. Still no word on the fricken rent assignment. I have a feeling we'll be living here until the end of the lease, which is going to suck big time. Well, I guess it's not going to suck, because for the time being it's going to be cheaper. Yeah, I guess I don't care if we move out sooner or later. I just finished a big research paper for my geology class. I think it's the biggest assignment I had left until the finals for my classes. That's a good sign...uh, I'll be back later.

Turns out I can't go read them. Probably something going wrong with the Blogger server. I'll try again later.

K, so Ben doesn't hang out with us anymore. He's too caught up with Remi, seems like. Oh well, no bid deal. I am going to an advisor tomorrow to see what classes I need to take and what not. Hopefully they don't laugh at me and say something like I can't get into any college because my GPA is so low. But, all jokes, aside, I'm really gonna get my act together and see if I can finish in about a 1 and a half. I also hope that I qualify for financial aid, too. If I don't, I'm very, very, very screwed. For the Summer, I'm gonna take two classes. Microeconomics and...dread speech. I don't even want to take it, but it's required. Dammit. Among other news, i REALLY want a camcorder. I want to make a car video. I have been downloading a buttload of songs the last few days. I guess I'm actually taking advantage of Kazaa and P2P file sharing. How bad am I? Not really. Millions do that same thing. Chris and Laura are both like you're going to get caught, blah, blah. Shut up! No one's going to get caught. I got back my astronomy test today. 94%. Not bad considering I made some stupid mistakes and I didn't really study. On the other hand, Rod got something that he won't tell me, so, must have been bad. School is going along quite nicely. Cruising along a borderline 4.0 right now. We'll know in about 3 weeks my real GPA. Then, I'll have about a month or so off and then back to school again. Class EVERYDAY for 1 hour for the two months thereafter. I'll keep my mind to it, and it'll be all good. If I fuck up this time, I'm a goner (gonner?). Anyway, sippin' on some Sprite right now. Laura is studying and the others are doing whatever in there rooms. Was loud so I closed the door. I've been obsessed with minesweeper lately. I can't stop playing it and I can't beat expert level. I have beaten beginner in 8 secs and intermediate in, um, I think it was somewhere between 80-130. I don't remember, but it was good. I am going to drink some more Sprite now and after that's done, drink some water. I feel thirsty all of a sudden. Nothing new once again. I need to get my butt to work you know? I better start working 50+ hours a week over next school year or I won't be able to pay the fricken $60+ increase rent. I may save up some money over the Summer too. That will help a lot. Yeah, remember when I was going to open a savings account? Never happened. CSU Connection is slowly losing its momentum that it had for a while there. I may be getting ready to shut it down and start another site. A trance or car site. Whichever. If I get a camcorder, which I doubt I'll get, it'll be a car site. My room's a mess right now. I think I'm going to go read my first blogs that I wrote when I first started. Look back on the memories, you know? Laters.

So, I'm back on my own computer now. I'm just downloading songs now. I have found some new bands that I really like. Rufio, O.A.R., Beck (I didn't know they made some of these songs I downloaded) and Five Iron Frenzy. I guess I'm a little slow to catch on huh? Anyway, just doing nothing. Maybe going to coffee with Ben later on if he messages me back. Actually, he needs to wake his ass up first. Laters.

So it's bee roughly a week and what a week it's been! I'm writing from Laura's computer because I don't want to go into my room. Ashely and TJ are getting ready to go to Boulder. I wish TJ didn't take a shower because I need to. Now I have to wait a while dammit. Anyway, last week. Yeah, I got paid on Friday. All gone as far as I know. Paid about half my credit card, my car insurance, etc. I can't pay my Mom at all this month, which sucks. I'll have to e-mail her about that. Yesterday, Laura's Mom had two free tickets to Winter Park, so Susan and I used it. Yes, strange huh. Anyway, the first two runs were really nice. The thing was, though, that I used Laura's board, which was goofy, so I had to ride regular on a goofy board. How weird is that? And the weirder thing? I think I did better! I like it like that more than regular. Don't ask why! I was carving and picking up speed better, you know? Strange man. And then, it started pretty much blizzarding and every time we would pick up speed to go down the mountain, the snow felt like ice needles and it would hurt like hell. I would look up and the ice would hit my face, and it would melt, you know, and the water would drip into my eyes and that would get cold. It was hell. I couldn't see where I was going. I would imagine goggles would have helped, but I don't know. Susan said snow got into her eyes too, so. Oh well. After a few more runs and at like 3, we left. The place that we rented Susan's skis were fricken cheap! $13 for a pair of skis and $17 for snowboards. Damn nice! I'm going to start using that place. It's right on the way too. Convenient. I got home, I had to finish my fricken computer assignment. I whipped that up and I didn't even know the criteria, so I just added a reference section in the end and turned it in. Oh well. I don't really care about that class, so. Next week is the due date for my geology paper. This one I will have to actually do it good. I don't want to get a B in there. Astronomy test was, well, on the easy side, but I don't know how well I did. I could have made some real easy mistakes so. Other than that, Laura's in Lakewood celebrating stupid Easter. I'm gonna head to Starbucks at around 11 if we're even going today. I just messaged Chris. I should get a response here in a little bit. So that means I'm gonna get going. I would take a shower, but I can't you know, since all the water's gone before I even have a chance to use it. I'm really strapped for cash this week, and next! I'll have about $20 for the next two weeks, which sucks. Anyway, have yourself a dumb little Easter!

Okay, so the internet has been down on and off at our house for the last couple of days and frankly I'm annoyed. It's up now, obviously, but I can see it going down again. Wouldn't it suck if it went down just before I submitted this? Anyway, camping was fun, though at night it was a little on the cold side. I think the only problem was that the ground was cold. We were next to some red neck, drunk guys. They were funny, but their music kept me up for a little bit. My neck is so itchy. I want to itch it, but I know that it will just make it worse. I want a supra. Yes, I do. I think I am going to create another site. Something about trance or cars, maybe. What else...um, I don't know. That's it for now. Nothing's been up since the downing of the internet. It was so boring. Anyway, I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. Lates. I love you Laura!

So, we're going camping tonight. It can't get any more last minute than this. I just went and got some firewood...though, Ashley and TJ are late...no reason they should be, but anyway. We'll probably get there around 9:30 or so, set up camp and chill for a bit. Should be a good time. PLUS, I finally get to use my new burner. I don't know what I'm going to cook, but it'll be something! :) Anyway, laters to you all.

The weekend. Yay. There's always nothing to do. Tonight, so, we may all go out to dinner or something dressed up. We haven't done that in a bit, so, who knows. Laura will be back around 6 I guess. I have no idea what's going to happen. Chris (if he ever wakes his ass up) and I will go driving around Loveland and the back roads today. I actually want to find the place that my field trip went to. It was a nice place. Anyway, yesterday Ashley rented Communion for me and watched it. It was freaky at first, but it was to the point that about 1/2 way through the movie, it wasn't anymore. In the beginning though, it was pretty scary. Oh yeah, I didn't even say what it was about. It's based on a true story about this guy who was abducted for a few years and he took hypnosis and found out what was happening. No one believed him and so forth. The aliens on there were cheasy, but freaky in a way. It's a nice day again. I want to do something outside. I will settle for just driving though. I bought Laura something, but she won't be able to see it until next week. :) I know you'll probably read this by then, so don't ask me what I got you. No word on the DMB tickets yet. I'm giving up and waiting until they actually e-mail or put a notice up on the board. All my tests are over until next Thursday when I take my astronomy test. After that, it's all finals I think. We have, well, I have, less than a month to go in school. Ain't that a good deal? Granted I won't be doing shit during the summer, hopefully moving out by May's end and all that. I will be saving up quite a bit to meet the rent and utilities of next year. I was going to get a savings account, but I am putting it off since I'm lazy. That's about it to report. Have a good weekend.

So I've just been surfing around the Dave Matthews Band forums and it seems to me that I'm not the only one complaining about now knowing where my seats are for the concert that I've bought tickets for. I mean, it's kinda annoying to not know, when you already shelled out nearly $120, you know? Some people are getting more irritated than me, so I'm not the most crazy or anything. I'm just glad that I did get tickets. I just went to Ticket Master and the best seats they have are nosebleeds seats behind the stage. Hopefully mine will fare better, but I did read a few people's experience of people getting lawn seating and stuff like that. If that will be the case, I would have rather tried to get tickets on Ticket Master right when it went on sale and probably gotten better results. Too late to bitch about it now, so I'll have to wait and hope that it will come soon.

April is rolling along just great. I'm listening to Evanescence - So Close right now. I love the background music of this song. They are a great band. My website is coming along good, I guess, but lacking in the area of PICTURES, something I need. Oh well. Whatever. This month is probably the busiest month that I've had so far in terms of school. Everything is winding up to the end. I have papers due for each class (this month at that!), tests, and assignments. Hopefully I'll get a response from CSU soon knowing if I got in or not. I sent in my trascript and everything. I don't have much time to do anything these days. My life is actually becoming a life! I'm going to be overwhelmed with the amount of free time (hopefully) that I'll have in the summer. I don't know if I wrote this already, but Ashley's found a place to live at the Preserve (s******) so we went in to Armadillo to get out of the lease early if possible, that is, if someone wants to take it over. That will be the 1st of June. Then we'll be moving along to Collins West. Great huh? Hopefully next year the living situation will be even better than this year. It seems that it's getting better and better as the years go by. The other day for the first time in months, we all went over to Chris' to drink. Yes, me too. I just had a beer, but hey, whatever is ok right. Ben and I are going to the bars on Thursday to check out the scene. It's not something I'm into at all, but I figure I'd see what it's like you know. We're going to invite Chris to go too. That will be funny. I'll probably sip on a beer the entire time or something. Yeah, what else...oh yeah, our last geology lab was yesterday and it was a field trip. It was fun. This one place we went to was just awesome. We sat by the rocks that we pretty high up overlooking a small valley. There was a ranch and stuff, but that was the only man-made obstruction there. It's unbelievable when you look at the environment that hasn't been touched. It reminded me of the LOTR and stuff. I can't wait for Ireland, where there are surely more vast landscapes and such. I love those kinds of scenery, you know? It's inspiring in a way. I want to take Laura to this place, maybe even tomorrow or something, but yeah, it'll be fun. Nothing much to do tonight. I did a majority of my work yesterday and today, primarily tests. I have 4 more to go. 1 will be down tomorrow, another on Wednesday, another probably by Friday and the last one before finals on next Tuesday. Right now, I can't believe it's already 7:30 because of the fact that it's still quite light outside and the daylight savings time. It's starting to feel like summer again. :) I like it. It sorta, in a vague sense, reminds me of my childhood. I can't explain it. Anyway, I'm also in a money crunch. My credit card statement is coming here in a week or so. I'll get paid a good sum next time, so all of it might go towards the credit card and maybe a little to the insurance. I've got about $650 to pay back...slowly. I'm not a credit card person. I need a money making plan. The lottery would be just fine. It would be awesome, actually. Even a million would be so nice...I would put $700,000 into like a retirement plan to accumulate. The rest would go to, well, I don't know. Maybe $200,000 to a house that we'll live in after I graduate and the rest would go to a new car (Supra anyone?) and misc...like furnishing the house or something. Maybe I'll play sometime. I have no cash on me, so. Oh well. The friends department is the same old I guess. Looking at the weather, seems like this weekend might finally be a prime time for camping. Hopefully it is. I want to put my stove to use, you know? I bought it for something. But yeah, I'm gonna head off now. Nothing else to talk about. I'm just ramblin' right now. I'll see ya laters.

It's been a while! The last week has been stressful as hell. You wouldn't even know. 5 tests in the next 1.5 weeks (though I finished one already today), applying back to CSU, work, bank stuff, having no money, signing the lease and stuff like that. It's just way too much! Hopefully it'll start to settle down here soon. I really haven't been able to do anything. Things are so hectic. Ashley has found a place for this coming May at the Preserve, we've found a place at Collins West, and well, we're going to try and get out of this lease here at the end of May, hopefully. I wish to get all the deposits and shit back, so. We'll know about that on Friday when we go in to talk about it. It's been a nice week in terms of weather though, that's something to look forward to! I want to possibly go camping this weekend, if the snow is melted and all, that is. I'm sure it'll be fine though, unless the weird ass weather brings us shit again. That's it to report. Oh yeah, I JUST changed the font to Arial instead of Verdana, to give it a little change. I've been doing a lot of my school typing in Arial, so I've grown to like that font right now more than others. Um, I guess it's back to more school work for me though. Laters.

So the problem is averted for the time being. I'm just getting a little annoyed at the moment. People need to learn to be, well, more educated or something. I don't give a fuck. I just made a CD with new trance songs that should hold me over for a little bit. Other than that, I had my 2nd geology lab and my 3rd and hopefully last one will be next Saturday, which is a field trip to see the rocks of the area. Interesting to know that Horsetooth Rock, this rock not too far from here and it's visible, is 1.6-1.8 billion years old. Pretty amazing considering the fact that the Earth is only about 3 times as old as that. Anyway, I'm going to head over and play Catch Phrase now. It's a very recommended game from me. Trust me. I don't like many games. Laters.

It's just incredible the things that happen when people say stuff sometimes. I don't even know what to say. I've probably created a big problem that may or may not stick around but I really don't care. There's a fine line between being dependent and being ridiculously dependent. Solving YOUR problems at the expense of OTHERS' discomfort and dissatisfaction is just wrong. It's just asking to wage war. Taking things for granted is also a bad thing to do and just builds up the problem even more and sooner or later, you're going to have to face it, whether it may end nicely or fuck up your life. And it seems as though war has been waged in a sense. Some things are just how they are and you just have to accept them. Some people just don't want to do that. I'll keep an update of what's going on in this situation over the next few weeks and we'll see how it progresses. I mean, I'm not going to back down or anything, but I'm not going to push anything more than it's been pushed already, unless it comes to the point where it has to. I hope it doesn't come to that because once it's come to that, some things won't be able to be healed. I'm going to burn a CD now, with the latest songs that I've downloaded. I may have some news for the blog later on, even. We'll see.

So, today was an exciting day at work. Not really, but I finally got to spend a few hours on a project and felt important. Unfortunately, I'm done with it, so I'm out of things to do. Great huh? It fricken snowed today and during the little snow shower, the sun came out...what is wrong with the weather in this state? I mean, come on. It's supposed to become pretty good weather, you know, this week. Strange I tell ya. I have a lot of stuff to do in terms of homework this week. I do not want to do them. I think I'm going to visit Zach on Wednesday. I have an ortho appointment, so I might as well stop by and say hello or something. I didn't even know he was in town, nor did anyone else. Seems like people are starting the stray away from their friends and starting to do their own thing, if you know what I mean. I think, well, life's starting! Not for me though. Not yet at least. I have a couple more years to go. So boring today though. It was a good mail day, I guess. I got my 256MB of more RAM and I installed that already. I do feel the computer is a little more zippy. I also go 2 movies, A Beautiful Mind and Time Machine. I think I'm going to watch the Time Machine tonight. The other one seems to be kinda slow, but that's ok. I signed up for Netflix (2-weeks free trial) so I'm renting a few movies for the next couple of weeks, then cancelling it. Cool huh. I'm watching my lava lamp do its thing while I type. It's sooooo boring. Today my ad for my website went up. It was in a great place apart from the other ads. Hopefully this will increase traffic a little, but I'm beginning to think that it's a lost cause. I doubt anyone is going to send in their pictures. I set up a forum for the website, but I doubt anything will go on that either. Oh well, I have three month before my hosting runs out, so I guess I can wait until then, but I mean, I had to try it. I'm kinda hungry but dunno what to eat. Ash and her sister are playing Mario Party downstairs. They have nothing better to do I suppose. We tried to go to the office of the new apartment we hope to live in, but again, they were gone. What is up? I'll know the Dave Matthews tickets status by this Thurs. Hopefully I won't have to buy it through the public sales. My car is pretty clean. I like the rain since it cleans the car, but snow I hate. Well, that's all for now. I'll be here soon I think since there's NOTHING TO DO.

*sigh* It's just a drat when you solve one problem and that just sprouts up another. That's about the only news I have. I just finished talking with a good friend from high school that's going to the school of mines. Also, maybe I'll mention it in this blog that I have a "secret" website that is very well underway. I'll show Laura sometime when there's enough content. :)

Well I got my timesheet signed for a measely 28 hours...that's not going to pay for anything. My credit card bill is up the snafoo and I'm screwed. I'm gonna die. My Mom messaged me on MSN today from Japan. I thought it was a little weird, but anyhow. I guess it's cold there. Why is this Earth so damn cold? Laura went to Denver today and tomorrow so she can shop with her Mom and spend her sister's b-day down there. I'm left to do nothing. There is nothing to do. Haha, here's something funny. I tried to spray paint the small inside area of my car red to match the car's exterior and yeah, it didn't work. I'm looking for some paint thinner now to try and get the paint off. Hopefully it'll come off, otherwise, it won't be appealing to some buyers if I ever sell it. I should sell it soon if I am to, so I get get some good deals around here. But yeah, nothing else to report. Literally, nothing!

So the snow finally stopped and the city is well on its way to recovering in terms of driveability and clearing them damn roads. The funny thing is, yeah, I decided to go to breakfast with someone and that in turn caused a part of my underside of the front bumper to break off and a little piece is just hanging from there right now. I mean, there's nothing I can do about it. I don't think they sell just the underside, but it's ok I guess. Doesn't hurt the car in any way, so. The driveway is hard to get into. It's ridiculous. I am going to take down the TV to Longmont today. And I also have to stop by radio shack, maybe, and swing by Chris' house to pick up his smaller 19" TV for Laura's room so we can watch movies in there without the "choppiness" of the computer DVD player. I may also stop by work to see if it's even open and to see if my bosses are there. If not, better for me as I can put some hours down on my timesheet for this week since you know, work wasn't so fun this week. Anyway, I'm gonna get some shit done. Later.
