It's October 29th. Seems like every 2 weeks is becoming the norm. Is that ok? Well, it's doesn't really matter what you think huh? So I've been ticked off the last few days and I'll tell you exactly why. Not school, friends, family, work (well, in a way), but of all things, my car. I took it into the shop to get the turbo installed on Monday...the mechanic doesn't even get to it until this morning. That's ticking off number 1. He's worked on it for about an hour and he says he needs to get parts and what not and it could push back the entire install by a day or two. Ticking off number 2. He has to leave for a car show next week and all these delays are making me think that it's not going to be done by the time he leaves. Ticking off number 3. I could go on and on about the car thing, but I'll stop there. With that all said, I'm just becoming more and more pissed off as each minute passes. Then I was thinking, though, that in the end, all this wait probably is going to become joy all that much, you know? I'm getting to the point that I just want to get my car back BEFORE the weekend. That's only a couple of more days, but man, why did he want me to take it in Monday if he didn't even start on anything until today??!?! Anyway. I had to get that out somewhere. I've been taking it out on other people, which I am sorry about. I'll try to keep it inside of me. On top of all this, it's hard getting to class and shit and tests and papers that are coming soon are pushing my stress boundaries over the top. I'm also broke. Like, broke. I probably a like $10 I can spend and that's factoring in my $1800 credit card limit. Yeah, unbelievable. I'm at school right now, doing nothing, when I should be doing my research for my paper. I think this weekend is going to stress me out the most. Anyway, I'm gonna head on over to some other sites before my class starts. See ya laters, in two weeks, nonetheless. :)

Hello folks. I'm getting better at returning at a decent interval, no? Anyway, my turbo stuff, some of it at least, is slated to come tomorrow via UPS. I hope them fuckers don't just leave it there or someone is home at the time. I will then gawk at what I CAN'T install in my car. It'll be another month AT LEAST to have everything I need to install the damn thing. Money is stupid I tell you. I am selling some stuff on eBay. Wish me luck. I have a test tomorrow. Should be a piece of cake. I've been given some pretty heavy work loads at work recently, this past week, actually. I mean, this is the first time in a LONG time that I am actually busy at work and I have to leave because I have class. Strange eh? Also, I'd like to note that I'm really backed up at work. Ha, who would have guessed. Tomorrow, though, I should have all things cleared up and ready to be able to return myself to the regular work load of just over nothing everyday. It was good while it lasted. Then I began to think, shit, I hope this past week isn't going to be what the life will be when I, *gasp*, get out of college?!?! I hope not. I'm out for now. Laters.

Bon jour people. It's the 13th. I just got back from a night at Ashley's and the gang. Fun overall. Trouble was kinda brewing with Ashley and TJ, but hopefully it'll get resolved. I have a surprise for Laura tonight when she gets back, if she's not too drunk. Anyway, things are pretty much the same. School's fine, for the most part, :), and the biggest thing of all is that I'm underway on my turbo project for my car. I've got the 3 main components of the system already. Well, I paid and the stuff is on it's way, so, basically the same. The 4th major component is also pending, hopefully. I'll have my car turboed within a couple of months, no later than February. I'm going to take it slow. I'm also stoked that my car registration is only going to be $83. A LOT better than the estimate that I gave myself of $300. That gave me quite the relief. After October, things should be pretty steady, as in not a terrible amount of debt and stuff like that. Halloween is right around the corner. Dunno yet if I'm going to do anything, but we'll see. My next update is probably going to be around that time anyway. My brother was supposed to come yesterday, but I guess appointsment were too few and he's going to try coming out near Thanksgiving. What's all this say? Bottom line, life is good at the moment. I've been swamped lately with school and sorta work, ;), but yeah, things are good. Christmas is also right around the corner. A couple of months and this society is going to be neck and neck with everyone else buying gifts, readying the house for the season and what not. I do have to admit that Christmas time kinda gives me a warm feeling inside. Everything is (or seems that they SHOULD be) in a really happy mood. I like reflecting on my past year during this time too. Then the new years comes along and all of a sudden, the entire process goes by like a flash of lightning. I wouldn't be surprised how fast today's date will come up again next year. I might go through my old blogs since I starts, since, it's been quite a while. 2001 is when I started writing if I'm not mistaken. I hope Blogger doesn't go bankrupt or something. I mean, I don't want to lose all this writing. Maybe I'll find a way to save this or something. The only thing, actually, that is tough to live by right now is money. It's really tight and I'm barely sliding by. I really need to start giving myself a strict budget. It's just that I've been buying stuff on command, err, on urges and they are really stuff that I don't need right now. I should be concentrating on work and school. Well, school first, then work. At least this coming Monday, Columbus Day I think, will get me a day off work. I didn't go in last Thur or Fri, so that kinda might kick me in the ass later on, but hey, shit happens. I also have to start thinking about what I want to buy people regarding presents. There will only be a handful that will get presents from me. Not that I'm a stingy guy or anything, I'm just saying that there's no reason to get people gifts if they don't get me anything. Still, some people deserve gifts. I'm not the one to say I need or want gifts. In fact, I never want gifts from anyone. In my mind, I don't deserve them. Oh well. We'll see how the money gets allocated during the season. Holly is probably getting excited for her 20th b-day in a few days, but yeah, like I said, her 20th. Not a big year you know. Well, this has been the longest blog since the days of yore for me, and at that note, I'm gonna chug along to bed. Actually, I'll probably wait until Laura gets home, so. Until next time, keep your chin to your, uh, up and stay cool. Laters.

Hey it hasn't been too long huh? I'm swamped with a paper to do for Friday, but I'll get to that tomorrow. Right now, there's nothing to do. Goodness has shined upon me in the form of currency and I'm happy to say that I own my laptop right now, out right. :) I'm almost finished with paying off my credit card, which I'm very happy about. Hopefully in a month or two I'll be at square one. Is that the right phrase? I'm not sure. Anyway, I gotta head out. I'm kinda busy researching and stuff.

I'm back again, and it's only been a few days! That's awesome huh? Anyway, this time, my "turbo-ing" my car may be a reality. I will need to dish out about $2000 in all in the process, but that'll be spread over a period of a few months so it won't be as harsh. To give a brief overview of it, it would HOPEFULLY give me plenty more horsepower, which in turn will let me beat a lot of the cars that are out there, yes, maybe even Chris' beloved piece of junk that's been breaking left and right as of late. Anyway, I'll update when I actually start the process. I'm just about done with the research aspect of it. Now I just have to come up with the funds. A test that I DO NOT want to take is coming up on Thursday. I may die as a result. Wish me luck. This test is either going to be good or all luck and guessing. 40 questions, A or B answers and about an hour. We'll see what happens. I'm hopefully going to line up an internship at Rocky Mountain, but I'll see what happens with that. I'll have to wear a fricken uniform or something and I'll only get like $120 a week. What's up with that?!?! I may have some other opportunities, like New Zealand. WOOHOO, but we'll see about that too. School's been good. Work's been slow. I'm doing ok. :) That's the wrapping up of my life right now. Chris is none other than bitching about his girl problems (like he's doing anything about it). Laura's working on the weekends. Oh yeah, she has a job now, since I haven't written about that yet. Um, Ashley and TJ are about the same. Still fighting but together. You know what I mean. Ben is with Remi. Ben Bath has turned 21. That's it. I'm at work right now, so I'm going to end this as I don't want to get caught, though like anything will happen if I do. What a great job. Laters.

Ok, it's been roughly 2 1/2 months since I wrote in here. I'm becoming more and more a busy man. :) Really. So, this blog has taken hiatus status. I'm sure I'll come back to this sometime in the future, but who knows when. Really, who knows. I do like writing in this though. it gives me a chance to relfect on myself and all that jazz. Other than that, things have been hectic to say that least. A lot has changed, but at the same time, a lot has not changed...if you get my drift. Plans have changed and rechanged and rechanged again. It's hard to keep on track right now. To sum it up and to make it easier, everything's "pretty much the same". :) Plus, another thing that entails not writing in here so long means that the blog system and interface has also changed, though, somewhat for both good and bad. It's a little iffy right now, but I like the change that Blogger.com has made. More modern. Man, it's almost been 2 years since I started this thing. It's a cool thing to see how time has passed in my life the last 2 years. Hey, one thing's for sure. I still love Laura. :) More each day, though she might not think so. ;) Well, that's it until the next blog...which could be MONTHS. Tough luck. Maybe my next year's resolution is to keep this shit up. But then again, next summer I might have an internship at Rocky Mountain. Woohoo. Laters all and hope all's well.

Wow! It's been a long time. Sorry I have been really bad at keeping up with the blogger thing. I have been really busy. I started my microeconomics class this past Monday and it doesn't look like it's going to be that hard, which is good. Here's a cookie for ya. I am writing this blog from my new laptop, :D, from a hotel using my cell phone as an internet connection. How bad ass is that? What technology can do for us now a days. Also, I bought myself a wireless network card and I can connect to "free" networks that are all around town, but I haven't found a place yet. I have tried it at my college library and it works like a charm. Hopefully I can find some good places other places, like coffee shops or something. I went to Laura's sister's rehearsal dinner tonight at The Fort. It was good, but you know, I'm not the big "expensive", high-class sort of guy. Anyway, I got her a salad spinner, which I think she liked. Then I came back home. I'm trying to get the room cold, because it's hot as hell right now. Tomorrow I have really nothing to do until 7pm. Well, 6pm, so I can get ready and have all problems accounted for if it comes up. Man, my life has just gotten so busy the last couple of weeks. We picked the date to move into our new place at Collins West. July 15th is the designated day. I can't wait. I don't want to move shit, but I can't wait. You know, I sitting here eating a cookie and playing on the laptop with a connection from my cell phone right? I feel and look like a damn hacker. This is the style of life a hacker lives. It's so ironic. Anyway, what else...I don't know. Nothing right now. I have to get some ice water. I'm thirsty as hell. Maybe tomorrow I'll scope around town in Denver/Lakewood there there is a network. Maybe not. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Nothing else is new really. Um, yeah, that's it from my first blog "out of town" and "away from the internet", so to speak. I'm gonna head out. Laters.

It's been such a long time! It's the longest in recent times. Sorry about that. A lot has happened too. Let me scoot on over back from my last post. Everyone except me, Laura and Chris have gone back to camp. No one else is here. Kinda nice, kinda boring at the same time, if you know what I mean. My credits from FRCC got transferred, so I'm officially in Junior status. I checked to see when I'd be done and it seems like Fall of '05, hopefully, if things go as planned and no mess ups occur. I have to concentrate my entire knowledge power from now on. We went up to camp last night to hang out with Ashley and friends because it's was Ashley's 21st. Not a big deal I would think when you reach it, but yeah, we ate as a group at this weird old sushi place that wasn't even a sushi place and I didn't like it at all. I'll go to Boulder if I want real sushi. :) Um, Chris came up too. Well, that's it for that subject. I was tired early this morning since we got up at 8 or so. I got up at around 6 to check what time it was, but I couldn't because my phone was either fucked up or out of power, so. I stayed up to make sure we got up on time. How nice of me. On the way up yesterday, I stopped by at Laura's house how to fix up something that I left undone when I installed the stereo in their car. Simple really, but Chris made it a big deal. He tried to help and stuff. Next week is Taste of Fort Collins on Saturday! I want to go. I haven't and it sounds cool. Lots of food to try out and stuff. Sushi restaurants are going to be there too, so hopefully we can get some free samples of the yellowtail, if you know what I'm talking about. I walked into our house today and it was FREAKING cold! I left a few windows open and closed all the blinds so it wouldn't get too hot in the house and it sure didn't! I mean, my luck, when I did this the weather turns out to be cold as hell, so it was colder than it would have been. It was 60 in the house, but oh well. I just put on a jacket for the moment. It'll get hot tomorrow again, so it'll balance out right? My new website has gone through yet another design update and the latest is at this place. I learned some cool new programming languages that does things like tell you how many people are at my site right at the moment and stuff like that. I paid my tuition for the Summer and I'm still waiting to hear back from the Financial Aid people to see if my appeal went through for getting aid for the Fall. I need it. We still haven't moved out, obviously. I'm thinking the original date of July 31st is the day. That's ok though. Hopefully I can save up SOME money to compensate for the rent increase. Hopefully the utilities don't go up either. Nothing else new I guess. Work is good. Doing my own little thing as always since I never have work. I'm trying to expand my knowledge base for jobs in the future. I really want this second attempt for my website to work this time. Hopefully I can lure in the freshman people in August. Hehe. That's my plan. Until then I'll do my best to get people started on it right now. I might do a little advertising when I'm in summer school. Nothing big though. My car is so dirty. Since it rained and snowed like a bitch last night up in Winter Park, it's dirty. I need to get one of those $8 car washes at the new place. I really liked it. I have to go on a hot day, so it will dry quickly. It that happens, it gets it so clean. Yay. I also have to pick up a tie and shirt and pants for Laura's sister's wedding in 2 weeks. I'm lazy when it comes to this. Yeah, I really don't need a shirt, but the rest I do. Well, I can probably get a tie, so just the pants then. I'll just go down to Kohls or something someday. Maybe I'll go tomorrow if/when Laura and I go get coffee in the morning if she's up to it. And then a week from Monday until my classes begin. I'm not looking forward to it, but it's life. Well, I'm about blogged out this time. I'll make sure to stay up to date on these things. See ya laters

Why do certain people always get "excited", even though it's nothing to get "excited" about? Beats me.

We're going to Ashley's tonight to have an early b-day party, thought it won't be much of a party. I'll have my camera to take plenty of pictures. Yesterday we went to see the new Matrix movie (good by the way) and went to the Old Spaghetti factory to eat. Fun time overall. TJ went have to Iowa via train. A couple more weeks until camp begins and virtually everyone here is gone. We'll be up there anyway in a few weeks time too, so. My ankle itches. Um, yeah, a small but effective update, right? Yeah, right.

Ok, my brother-in-law pisses me off. He asks me how I'm doing in school, which is find in itself. I'm reluctant to tell him, but I do anyway, then he starts to lecture to me about how I shouldn't have "wasted" 2 years at CSU and that I should transfer schools so I don't have to worry about my GPA and all this other shit. I'm standing there, laughing it off, while at the same time, I want to fucking punch his ass and tell him to stay out of my business. I don't want to live HIS life. Fucking eh. Just pisses me off. I don't go over there saying that he's a cheapskate and all that shit. Anyway, talked to my Mom, and it's great how she doesn't really care about it. I'm like, yeah, I'm getting a recreation and tourism major and all this stuff. Don't matter what it means to people. It's my life. Onto the fun stuff. Got a digital camera today. Hell yeah. Time to start snappin' pictures, if you know what I mean. I need to go buy a card reader so I can transfer the pictures to my hard drive. Until then, well, I might do that tonight, I can't get pictures up on my site. I might go to Best Buy, so. I'll tell you soon about it. Also, I went by Office Depot in Longmont while I was down there to see if I could tell Naomi (dunno if I mentioned her ever in my blogs, but it was Derek's old girlfriend. We go way back) happy b-day since it's next Sunday. Yeah, early, but I probably wouldn't see her anyway before or after then. I left a little note between the car door handles because I recognized her car. Just waiting now for a chicken pot pie to be finished. Afterwards, I may go to Best Buy...well, it might be closed. Dammit. It'll have to be tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow. A big timesheet is going into this week's paycheck, which is awesome. 59 hours is the largest I've gotten since, oh, last Summer's end. I hope to have near 80 next time. Lots of money coming in is a good thing, did you know? After next, next paycheck, I should have everything paid off. Yes, everything. And then bills will roll on in and yeah, the cycle repeats. Tomorrow we're likely to go see the second Matrix movie somewhere. Other than that, there's a small party at Ashley's on Saturday (early b-day) and for sure I'll have some pictures from that night. Well, I'm gonna get going. Laters.

Hi again. It's been a full week since my all-out update. Here goes. Well, to tell you the truth, I don't remember anything from the last week. I finished up my finals last week and that's all I remember. I'm all done now, working full-time again. Sold my books and they didn't even take one of them. I think it was the most expensive one too. Oh $150 isn't bad. I'm putting it all towards the credit card. It should be paid off in one more paycheck. Thank god! I am pretty busy at work, but the work is tedious and it sucks sitting there for anywhere near 4+ hours. This week is lined with nothingness. We may have a party or something, but we're not sure. We're going to Coldstone later, in like 40 minutes. I want to be able to export my blogs to my new website, but I'll have to figure that out later. I sent my Mom a $70 gift basket for Mother's Day. It went from a simple going down to Niwot to this. I don't even have the money for this, but oh well huh. That's about it really. Summer's just around the corner and everyone's finishing up finals, getting ready for vacations, some are getting ready for camp and what not. I'm just looking forward to Dave Matthews. I probably won't get my seating assignments until a week or two before the show, which sucks, but I guess it'll be a better surprise in the end huh? Unless that is we find out I paid $60 a ticket for nosebleeds. How pissed would I be. It's been hot lately. I'm actually sweating driving in my car. I'm not one for driving around in the daytime with my windows down, but yeah. I also don't use the air conditioner. I don't know why. It's like religious to me. I don't know. Um, yeah, that's it. So far I'm 3 for 5 in As in my class. A couple of them I haven't gotten back yet. I should within a couple of days. Then I'm off to tackle CSU, again. Hopefully I won't fuck up. Laura came up with a good idea about maybe getting a Bachelor's at CSU while also getting an AA at Front Range concentrating on computer information systems or something. We'll see. Laters.

Now my blogger starts to work, when I don't feel like writing in it. I have a lot to talk about, but I'll hopefully update to the latest information by tonight.

We're about to leave for Hibachi. I can't wait for the food.

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.
