I'm getting better aren't I? Maybe it's because I have more time or something. Anyway, my class are well underway and I think it's not going to be so bad. We're doing lots of classroom interactive stuff in my interpretive class, like activitise and skits. I'm not that kind of person, but I like it. I'm growing more and more into it. Tonight Laura and friends (sorry, I don't want to name them all) are going to a Jimmy Buffet concert. I don't know what that's all about. What am I going to do? Probably nothing. Getting coffee I think but that's about it. I should get started on my new project for my car. Once and for all I can beat the fuck out of Chris' car after this install, but it's a big one and I DO NOT want to rush this as I can potentially break my car. I'm at work, surprisingly. It's going good as well. Anyway, here's some big news. I will be DEFINITELY going to Ireland this coming winter break. I've been saying this for a while and stuff, but it looks like it's going to happen this time. I'd love to have gone with Laura, but the prices that I was raving about since they were cheap was because it was during the off season, which is winter. Oh well. But I can't wait to get out of this country again. The time I went to Japan with my friend was really fun, you know, to get away from the American culture and all. We'll see how the British are! I still have to narrow down the packages that I'm going to order, but most likely it's going to consist of 7 days of freedom including bed and breakfast stays, some food, and a car rental, which I'm weirded out about. I mean, I know I can drive, but in another country? It's going to be weird. I'm going to go check out the packages and stuff again. See you laters.

Wow, this new blogger interface changed since the last time I posted. I didn't catch a glimpse of when my last post was but it was some time ago. Well the spring semester is over. Granted that the final couple weeks took a toll on me and my grades, I think I got out unscathed on this one. First of all, my most hated class gave me more problems than I wanted. Our group turned in this major presentation thing and we had to do it over because of "certain" reasons. I'm sure you can guess. Actually, I would say we were lucky to be able to re-do it and still in school at that. :) Other than that and the fact that I didn't do well at all on all but 1 final, I'd say it ended in a bad way. However, I'm FINALLY off probation in this damn university. I'm glad about that. Summer school starts in a couple of days. I'm in the school mode if you know what I mean. Work is good. I'm still with Laura, which is about the only thing good that's happening in my life right now. My car is running fine as well and am getting ready to do another big modification to my car here soon. Probably within the next week or so. As I was driving back today, I was thinking to myself that my life, although hectic and such, isn't bad at all...compared to the lives of others, that is. I'm sure there are people out there that are working 10 times as hard as me, having 10 times less fun as me, and having 10 times more money trouble than I am having. I should stop taking my life for granted. Oh well. I'm trying. What's the next big news that's coming up soon...birthdays. Arg, I hate birthdays. I even hate my birthday. Memorial day which traditionally marks the "beginning of summer" is around the corner as well. Laura and I went and saw Troy today. I liked it. One of the previews was that of Ocean's Twelve, the sequel. That looks promising even though I didn't see any visual aspects of the movie. But that's way the fuck in the end of the year. So, what else. I am confident that I'm going to try and take a one week trip to Ireland this coming winter break. It's too bad that I can't make it this summer, when Laura will be going. She'll be leaving in a month for a month. I'm going to miss her. Can't talk to her all the time on the phone, you know, because of price issues, but hopefully she'll have some sort of internet connection there. I might try and get that unused laptop from my brother-in-law, but we'll see. She should just take Chris', but she's afraid she might break or lose it. That's another thing. Our moving issue. We have no idea what is going on with our living situation for next month. Ben hasn't said much to Chris and we don't know what's going on and we HAVE to move out by the end of the month. How much does that suck? Time is winding down. Anyway, I'm going to head to bed. It's 2am. It's late. I'm damn tired. See ya until next time, which I predict will be sometime in the middle of the summer.

So I got my laptop and it's working great so far. I love the new technology these days. Weekend was good. We grilling with a few friends at a local park. Played some frisbee, roller skated around, etc. Then got some ice cream and went home. Looks like this week is going to be a laid back week. Got one paper to do, which shouldn't be that hard and a little research thing that shouldn't take a long time. I need to e-mail or mail something to my friend in California. I said I would like a month ago and I haven't. I feel kinda bad. He's a good friend. I'll try and get something out his way soon. I'm listening to some old, old Japanese music right now as I write in here. Brings back a lot of memories, let me tell ya. That's all I have to report now. It's getting close to the point where we will be moving back into Chris' old house. Hopefully. Anyway, see ya.

I think this is the second blog entry that I've ever done from work. That's right. Well, since last week I've taken a few tests, and the big news for this blog is that I sold my old laptop to my Mom and I just got a new one that is supposed to be delivered to my house this morning. It's a Compaq refurb of a model that I wanted and it was $250 cheaper as well as it had more RAM. I just hope that the "refurb" part doesn't make the unit less efficient. Other than that, I do have another test today and a take home test due on Friday which I'll probably start tomorrow or so. I work better under pressure. Things have been VERY hectic lately though. I don' t know why. Seems like it's that time of year or month or whatever where the stars line up or something and virtually every important event in your life at the time happens simultaneously. I've seen Dawn of the Dead (I think I wrote that in my last blog) and a couple of days ago I saw Jersey Girl, which I really liked. I always like those father/mother - daughter kind of movies. I also finally changed my major on Thursday to NR Recreation and Tourism and was, for the first time, able to get into all the classes that I wanted in. 18 credits at the moment. I may drop one class, making it 15, but we'll see. I may be able to handle it considering one of the class is a 101 class, so it should be THAT hard. But then again, way back in the day, this Physics class, I think it was a 141 class, was the hardest class on this Earth. I am also going to see if my Mom's old laptop can find its way to Laura since she needs it for studying abroad and stuff. I'm sure it's not a problem, but that laptop is damn near 7-8 years old, making it an ancestor in technological terms. But, it IS still a laptop which can be used, so. Shannon is out for the next week for a wedding or something. Seems like this time of year, everyone's getting married. A friend of mine is also going to two other weddings in May I think. Why doesn't anything get married in the Winter? It's not like it's that bad. Casey is going to be studying in Alaska for next semester. That would be cool. Chris has been buying some new stuff for his car too. Having troubles, but we're still about the same in terms of speed. Ha, go Honda power I say. The next movie that I'm probably going to see in the theater is probably Troy, but anything can happen. My website is also doing good. Thousands of visitors a month is good for me. All and all, things are hectic, but fine in my life. I'm gonna jet. Laters.

April 5th already. Not much again has changed. The last few days I wrote out a mass e-mail, each one different of course, to all my friends in my address book. About half of them wrote back (the real friends, as they say) and they're doing good. It seems like everyone is due to graduate this year sometime. A few are going to graduate school, and a few don't know what they'll be doing. Around this time, I think a lot of people go through this phase of "what should I do now"? I mean, yeah, school has been really fun (college). I met lots of new people, made lots of new and good friends, and heck I've even learned a thing or two. Do I really want to finish up college? I don't know. A part of me says yeah, a part of me says keep going to school. Maybe because I want to avoid what's really out there. Who knows. I still have a good year or so left, so I'm not in a hurry, but I should start thinking about the future. Hell, I'm already 22! Laura is going to graduate school, dunno where yet though. Chris told Ben that he should find a new place for next year and that has been a big ordeal too. The newest thing recently for me that I increased my boost for my turbo to 7psi. :) If you know what that means. Other than that, I haven't been working too much, since my school schedule is fucked up, but that's cool. I have 2 months left in this apartment and then it's probably back to Chris' house. Times are changing quick! My website has also been doing great. More and more visitors each month. But yeah, overall, things have been damn hectic for me the last couple of weeks. And this stupid ass cold is lingering a bit and allergies are kicking my ass. In 6 hours I'll be leaving for Longmont for an ortho appointment. Another one of those 2-hour total drive time for 10 minutes at the office. Waste of time and money if you ask me. So, what's been on my mind lately? Not a whole lot, really. Too many things going on to think at all. The Daylight Saving Time is also weird and hard to get adjusted to for some reason this year. I apparently slept from around 12pm last night to 5pm or 6pm. I totally thought I slept to only like 11am, but I guess not. Damn, I've never slept that much either. I think my body just caved and had to catch back up with me you know? Again this week is sort of hectic too. 3 tests I believe, with my first being today. A group meeting too so I have to finish my part before Wednesday. Damn, I hate it when it gets all busy. Anyway, I better head out. It's going to be a loooong day today. Laura's sister and bf are coming up to see the campus as well. I'll be accompanying dinner only, though. Well, I'll write again when I get the chance.

Woohoo! Almost 2 months without an entry. I can't believe this thing is still here. Amazing. So, what's been new since, damn, before my b-day! Well, I'm 22 now as you can imagine. School's been better than ever, compared to the other semesters that is. I've installed an intercooler on my car since the last blog too. Cool huh? My website has been booming as of late too. Still, the only thing that hasn't changed is the fact that I'm broke with a big debt in the credit card. Oh well. Anyway, the biggest news that's recent is that I'm going to Vegas in a couple of days with Laura, Chris and Ashley. TJ is staying in town because of a few friends that are coming to town and he's broke or something. Hm...what else...nothing new really. Friend situation has changed, but not much. Haven't hung out with or seen Holly or Susan lately. They're doing their own thing. I've been becoming better friends with Casey though since I've had a lot of classes with her and with Shannon too. Moved downstairs at work too. Nicer place. I'll hopefully be moving (again) to CHris' house, but we'll see about that. That'll be in May. I fricken hate moving. Such a pain in the ass. Really that's about all. I really should keep a better record of blogs but I just seem to forget it. Maybe I'll add it to my favorites? I will do that right now. Ok, done. I've been playing a lot of Gamecube too. I'm not sure if I wrote that in here, but yeah, playing Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and got a disc containing the old, old, very old NES Zelda series. Old school! It's fun though. Well, I think I'll be going now. I promise to myself (I know, again) that I'll start writing in here more often. See ya next time.

Hello everyone. The new year is underway by a big margin. School has started and I am finding it harder and harder to find time to fit in work. Who would have thought huh? Anyway, my classes will be ok. Nothing new really. Books to buy and you know the drill, each semester. Booked our hotels for Las Vegas for our spring break. Now we just have to wait. 2 more months. Laura's b-day is coming up too, as well as Valentine's. Oh yeah, I guess I should mention my b-day coming up too huh? In 8 days I guess. 22. Damn, that's old. I should be graduated and shit now. As I think about it, it was all good screwing around and stuff, since I was still 21 and under and stuff, but once 22 hits, you're like, wow, I should be starting my career now, or something like that. I'll be graduating damn near 23, maybe even 24. That's late. Oh well. I should get going. I don't have anything to do, but yeah, I'll be going.

Yo ho ho, I hope everyone had a merry Christmas. I don't even believe in Christ. ??? Anyway, 2 hours and 47 minutes until 2004. Live long and prosper.

Well, since the car turbo install, it's been just over a month. Well, okay, more than a month. Almost two. What this blog, which may very well be my last for this year, will cover is all the important stuff that happened this year. There's a lot. So I might take a while writing it. I just hope I finished within an hour so I can watch Good Eats. Anyway, let's head off. I can't believe 2003 is over already. When I started the year, I was still going to FRCC, trying to get back on track school wise. I bought Laura some jewelry for Valentine's, still lived at the old Sumac house and even friends with friends that we aren't friends with anymore. Of course, with change, comes some sort of constancy. I'm still with Laura, of course. Ashley is still with TJ. Chris is, well, you know the drill. Ben is still with Remi. And that's about all I have to mention in that area. Man, I can't even really remember that far back. Until about the start of Summer, I still had the astronomy class with Rod. Around that time, when school was about to end, things started going sour for reasons I don't know and thus starts the summer school session. I talked to Rod maybe once since then. I took speech class and found out I really liked that class. Maybe that class made me more social in a way outside of home. Maybe, maybe not. Who knows. But I did like that class a lot like I said. The start of the summer really changed me for my motivation for school. My route also changed for a degree. I looked to Rec and Tourism because, well, at the time because it was the easiest degree to get. Now I'm beginning to think that I might actually like it. During the summer, Ashley, TJ, Susan (more on her later), and other camp folk left for camp. Laura stayed, probably because for me. I'm such a whiner. We grew closer I thought living over the summer alone and then we moved into the same apartment for this semester. Ashley also moved to her own place not too far from here. I deem the split up, as do most others probably, a good thing. You know. By then, we've been good friends wise. Chris started to get into the picture more, as did TJ. Friends started to split even further. Ben hung out with JT and Ben, who lives in their own place near old town. Remi may be the cause of that, but who knows. Susan also lives at home for this semester, and she leaves for Greeley next semester. She started hanging out with Casey and Val and other friends. So there went that group of friends. I had a class with Casey and I really don't think she's that bad of a friend, but others may think otherwise. I met some new friends through school and work and I think all and all, this year was positive. The friends that we associate with got a little closer in a way which is a good thing. Through hard times and fun times, things like that happen. Now that I sit here and write about the stuff that's happened this year, it's all for the good. Things are supposed to happen how they happen. If I were to name all my problems right now at this very moment, I would have but one. That I am broke. But money is not always the case everytime. My car runs fine still with the turbo now broken in. Job's well. Friends are good. And for the first time I think I really did well in school. Laura got a job earlier in the semester which takes her time on Fridays and Saturdays, but I guess that's fine. Things are how they are, right? The holiday season always brings a warmth of fresh air and atmosphere to life. I'm not a big fan of it, but I do get some fun out of buying stuff for others and watching them receive it, whether it is faked or not. :) Again, this reminds us that it's the little things in life that are important. My website has been doing fairly well I think since it started in June and got up to speed throughout this semeser. I am going to strive to get more viewers next semester. Our movie collection has grown to about 75 now, which is nice, but not near what I want, which is potentially in the thousands. Hehe. Saw some great movies too this year. Pirates of the Caribbean, The Matrix, The Last Samurai, X-Men 2, and not to forget the Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Music wise, well, not much in that department. I haven't listened to music as intently as I did a year or two back, mostly probably because of the file trading shit going on. What else went on this year? Well, gas prices, oil issues, war, Saddam, Bush, and Michael Jackson. That pretty much sums up the year. However, the important thing that I care about now are primarily my friends. Earlier today I e-mailed a slew of people who I thought were close friends of mine wishing them good holidays and we'll see how many I receive back. Some friends have gone, but they've been replaced by other potentially great friends. Only time will tell. Looking forward to the exciting things that might or might not happen next year...a spring break trip to Las Vegas, an internship for me or a trip to Ireland, grades, friends, job, and just having fun. I think earlier in the year I didn't have as much fun as I did in, probably the last few months. My Mom quit the market job and now works at the gas station next door. I don't know, sometimes I wish I can win the lottery and let her retire or something. This year I've been good about being independent. I've borrowed next to nothing from my Mom, besides the money she gives for my b-day or Christmas or something. I try my best to not burden her. She doesn't need that. I, as usual, haven't heard from my brother Yoshi. I don't even think he's alive to be honest. lol. Just kidding of course. I'm sure he's doing something, somewhere. Before I sleep tonight, I'm going to try and just think. Think hard about what my life is full of and what I should be really happy about. I guess all this holiday stuff makes you think that. I even donated all my Magic: The Gathering cards to some kid who wanted it and yeah, I've been collecting for years and years...and yeah, I kept most of my good cards, but hey, it's something right? I mean, it was probably hundreds and hundreds of cards. Giving things away don't seem all that bad anymore. As you age, I think you become that way. You in a way "pass on" a part of you to someone who'll actually use it. I don't know. I'm just babbling. I've been writing for about 30 minutes now and I think I'm done. So, since I most likely won't write in here again until next year, I'd like to say it's been a great year, as always, and I am really thankful for all the friends and events that have kept me going and I am in debt, especially to Laura for keeping up with me and my antics. I love you so much! I'll find ways to pay you all back in the future. Here's to a great year passed, and to another great year up ahead. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

And so, my quest to clear myself out of debt begins...:)

Well, well, finally, after all this waiting, I'll be getting my car tonight...but not without a price. About $700, but I guess that is reasonable...somewhat. Right now, I'm just glad everything's done and installed. The sheer amount I've spent for this turbo kit will probably hit reality in about a couple of days. I am flat broke now. I hope to god that my car doesn't break down and I'm gonna have to make the gas last since I probably won't have enough money to pay for gas! Crikey. Anyway, back to my studying. I'm at the library right now.

Happy Halloween. I just wanted to say that just in case my blog session goes past midnight and it's not anymore. Just to let you know, it's 11:37 right now. Anyway, tonight is a night full of memory. I was messing around with a new site that lets you see satellite pictures of pretty much anywhere in the U.S., minus the mountaneous areas and I was looking at my old house in Fontana, CA, Laura's old houses, and Chris' old house. Then, I was like, why not, I should check out my old japanese school center. That was the place I went to every Saturday at 9 to learn japanese...yeah, a joke, but it was fun. I did that for a few years before I moved to CO. Anyway, that brought back so much memories that I thought I'd write it in here before I forget. I'm currently staring at it right now. Man. it was nearly 8-9 years ago, but man, I still remember it so vividly. I had a great group of friends there too. I'm not going to write everything I remember, because that would just overwhelm me typing it, but I really want to get back in touch with them, if they even remember me still. I wrote the person in charge of the facility right now and asked if there was a list of people's names/addresses that I can contact. Anyway, yeah, we would have annual festivals and athletic tournaments each year that we hosted and it was fun as hell. It was cool mostly due to the fact that it was a "japanese" atmosphese. That's kinda weird to say, but I mean, I watched japanese shows and such and it was just like on TV and the movies. I'd always love the festivals more than the athletic events. We as students would have to help out and set up the booths, take charge of the booths and games and take it down. It was fun! I can't stress that enough. I mean, yeah...well, I really can't write out what I'm thinking. It's too hard. At 9 we'd start school, have recess or break at like, um, 10:30 or so and then we were out by 12:30 I think. Short time, but it was, at the time, probably the best 3 hours of each week that I could have asked for. Well, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but not really. It's up there. I still have all my awards and such from the school. I take it out once in a while to look at it. I remember when I left, I had to write a speech because I was the graduating person that was going away to CO or something and I had gotten awards a lot, so they thought it would be best for me to do a speech to the entire school about "school" and staying in school. Haha. Funny huh? We even used to go up to the, gasp, forbidden gym area and hang out in there. Haha, how middle school is that???? Then another japanese friend of mine started going there for a couple of years and we had fun too playing basketball during break. I had a crush on this girl during all the years too. lol. Man, do I sound childish. It was cool because a certain group of us would always have the same classes each year because we would just go through the years (equivalent to those in japan) one by one. I ended up graduating "junior high" level in terms of japanese schooling. I remember on the last day before I left, the two girls that I hung out with a lot through the 4 years or so asked me to take a picture with them before I went. I was like sure, and I still to this day remember that picture in my head. Now...do I think that picture still exists somewhere? Maybe, maybe not. It'd be great if it was. Sometimes it's great to just think back and let your mind do all the imagining. Sort of like reliving your entire life again through all the memories that you've accumulated over the years. I do that all the time and it just makes me want to be back then more and more. One of my biggest hopes is that someday we can build a time machine to go back to the past...if it's still preserved somewhere in our vast universe and dimension. I hope it is. If not, I'd want to do it again for sure. No doubt about it. I'd do it in an instant. I then begin to wonder if my friends back then do the same, or even remember me still. I doubt they do, but hey, who knows. People do remember people. A while back I was at Classmates.com and I e-mailed a few people back at my old middle school and one actually wrote back! I was surprised to say the least and I got caught up on the details as much as I could. I don't e-mail her quite a much anymore, actually like once a year now, if that, but it was just cool to relive our middle school history with another person. It lets me know that people do remember the good times and they're not forgotten. I would really hate to have amnesia when I get older. I would never want to forget these memories. I mean, it's what makes up me! If I didn't have any memory, well hey, I wouldn't really care about my life. I'm probably going to go to sleep thinking about this now. I always sleep pretty quickly when I get to bed thinking about this. It's weird. Now, I'm not saying high school memories and college memories are worse than these, but until these memories get put away for a little bit and get "matured" so to speak, you know, actually have them become "memories", I won't think about them. In like 5 or 10 years when the same proportional amount of time has passed, I'll definitely be back here again (if blogger exists!) reminiscing about my current time. Life is just a cycle of experiencing and remembering. Well I think that's it for my midnight flashback about my past. Man, it feels better now to let it out once in a while. I was in a bad mood all week about my car not being done, and to let you know I still don't have it. Tomorrow they're supposed to call me and it's pretty much the last couple of days they have before they have to leave town. I hope to GOD that they really get it to me tomorrow. I'm actually begging now to have my car back. I don't want to have to burden anymore of my friends in giving me rides and such to everywhere I go. This even ties into some of the important things in life. Friends are important. In my case now, without them, I wouldn't have been able to go to school, work, etc. I owe them big time and I sometimes feel sorry that I can't give back to them. But karma, as they say, goes around. Hopefully I'll be able to repay them in the coming future. And then there's Laura. :) She's always there to help me out when I'm in a bad mood. I've been in the worst mood this week and I exactly haven't been nice to her and I'm sorry about that! I'll repay this soon. Well, it's 12:01am right now and that means it's November 1st. Happy 23 months Laura. Almost two years. Gosh that's a long time. I can hardly remember what was going on 2 years ago. What did you say? Yes, I can look back at my blogs, lol. I should do that sometime. Technology is great isn't it? Anyway, I'm tired now and I'm gonna head to bed. Please, please, please, PLEASE GOD have my car done today. I'll do anything. And I love you Laura! See ya laters and that wraps up this super long blog. :)

Wow, back in a day. That was quick of me eh? Anyway, more pissed than before. Car won't be ready until Saturday. Big woohoo on that one. It's at the point where I don't know whether I should be happy it's getting done, or mad that it's getting done so late. You be the judge on that one. Might go to a few parties tomorrow, dunno yet. Um, yeah, I really don't have much to say right now. It's fricken cold. Yesterday it was near 80 and today's like 30. This morning I was really wanting to move back to California...mmmm...sunshine, rain every now and then, but then again the cons are that they're in a pretty heavy drought, really expensive stuff, and earthquakes. Sometimes they scared me man. One of those "ground cracking, falling into the hole and getting shut in" sort of feeling. I've had my share of earthquakes, so I'm good. It's cool, though, in a way, that mother nature can wreck havoc on the planet. And then we turn around and blame her for messing up our world...oxymorons we are, we humans. Anyway, I'm going. Bye bye.

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.
