I thought I'd put up a post since it's been a couple of weeks or so. I'm doin' all right. Nothing new. Did I write that I dropped my class this semester? I don't think so. But yeah, I did. I didn't feel like taking that class at all. The bad news is that I HOPE I'm not behind because of that little dropping. We'll see. The Ireland thing is getting closer and closer you know that? I'll know by August's end if I'm going in November or not. Hell yeah! I'm psyched if I can go. Another thing, I've been downloading loads of new songs. Lots of cool ones. I found a cool internet radio place where it places awesome songs and I can fortunately rip from it. I don't know what I'm going to do tonight. Probably nothng like usual. It looks like it's going to rain. I miss Laura a lot!!! It's almost time that she's going to be back. A couple of more weeks. I can't believe 4 weeks has passed already. It really only seems like it's been a couple of weeks since she left. I just got a sudden urge to search for airline tickets online, so I'll be back I'm sure. Oh and I got A's in all my classes this summer! Woot!

4th of July really sucks. Really not my thing, but the good thing is that school is always out and that I get paid since it's a federal holiday. Anywho, doing nothing much once again. I thought Laura was going to call, but didn't. I feel asleep mysteriously around 6:00pm or so on my room couch staring at the sky and woke up around 9. Damn! A few more days of class left. Woohoo. There is absolutely not one good movie out. What is up with that? the closest one that is coming out that I know I will watch is most likely Anchorman...but that's already out, so...um, yeah, I guess it would be the Bourne Supremacy. Chris' b-day is coming up soon. I don't think I have anything to get because I'm a little tight on cash but we'll see. I say that a lot. About a month left before Laura gets home! Yay. I can't wait. I'm probably going to research what we can do on the weekends. Probably Melting Pot/movie/hotel. Shouldn't be too much that we'd have to pay out of our pockets since we already have $120 from other stuff. :D Anyway, I'm gonna go. This is fun. Laters.

Saturday night, not doing much. Actually today I did something rather cool. I made a little video for Laura since I missed her and she's gone for another month and all. She can't see it until she gets back, but I think I personally did a good job on it and I actually sort of had fun doing it! Nah, I did have fun doing it. I'd like to make another another time, but we'll see. I hope you like it Laura! I'll show it to you when we do our little weekend alone or something. I've watched it a few times already and I don't tire of it. :) Which is a good thing.

It looks like it's going to rain here. It's currently 8:33pm and counting. I might make some coffee. I should go running or something. I'm pretty unproductive if you ask me. Amy and her Mom came into town and I ate dinner with them last night. It was pretty fun. Actually it was a bigger than normal group, because we also had TJ and his friend Lindsey..er, Lindsay, I don't know which way. Amy will be going to the Art Institute in Denver, so she'll be here for a month I think first and stuff.

Everytime I write in here I always think this Blog stuff is just weird. Who am I talkin' to anyway? Beats me. As I look down on my keyboard at this very moment, the right side of my spacebar is worn out from the thousands of times I push it with my right thumb. Really interesting actually...kinda bothering me since I can't get rid of it.

Well, that's all for the Saturday Night Live...

Actually, it looks like it's going to be a "Neverending Story" type of storm outside...

Another edition, late on a Thursday night. So I'm most likely going to head to Ireland in November IF I can get at least $1000 paid on my credit card...now, this isn't no easy task. If anything, I'll head to Ireland maybe in January if I have time, but right now it looks grim either way. Arg. That's really all I wanted to say. Bandimere got rained out, so I'm going next Wednesday to do my racing. Stopped by Laura's parents' house and talked to them a bit before I went and met up with Zach. It's been so long since I saw him, but he hasn't changed much, granted he lost a little weight and hasn't cut his hair in his normal fashion. Anyway, I'm gonna go. See ya.

Well, this must be the quickest 'next blog' since a while huh? Anyway, it's damn near 1am right now, but since I had my old computer in front of me and I couldn't sleep yet, I decided to peruse through my old ass e-mails that I had saved...dating back to the stone ages. Well, the oldest one was November of '00. That's pretty old if you ask me. Well I was reading through much of the e-mails and man, can I see a change in me and my lifestyle. I really can. Like, I literally saw my life changing, whether it be events or friends. In the pile of e-mails I had ones where Ben e-mailed me while I was in Cali, during breaks and what not. There are just too many things to mention, but I just can't believe how different my life really is when you compare it to the past. Right now I wouldn't have said anything has changed, but boy, has it ever. I'd wish I'd kept all my e-mails since like '98 or something when I first got my account, but '00 is pretty damn close anyway, so. I'm happy. I think it's a good idea to keep all your old e-mails. Makes for a great laugh sometimes. I have some e-mails from my friends that I would have never thought they'd write. Haha. It's just funny thinking about it. Well that's all I wanted to write just now. Just had the urge to write it, you know, before I lost the thought. I'll have to share some of these e-mails with my friends and see what they think of it. Anyway, I miss you Laura! I can't wait until you get back. We'll have to plan some alone time...especially since you left that $60. :) We can use it for us or something. Well, I better get to sleep, so I can get up in time to get to class. Laters.

It seems like I have so much time to waste over the weekend now. What did I do this weekend? Absolutely nothing. I vowed to read for my Psychology class, but that didn't happen. I need another job or another hobby or something. It's getting pathetically boring. Anyway, my Ireland trip MAY be moved forward to November because it's a lot cheaper that way, but we'll see. I e-mailed away for information to about 4-5 places, so hopefully I can get that information back soon and I'll start picking the best ones. It should cost in total about $1000 for air, land, and spending money. Not too bad. I'm ready to get out of this boring little place we call the United States, though. Woo hoo. I'm going now. Tonight was a short session. Laters.

Here are some of my thoughts put along side Staind's So Far Away. :) my thoughts are in bold

This is my life - (Duh)
It's not what it was before - (Really true, things have changed so much)
All these feelings
I've shared - (New feelings every day, every year, met new people...)
And these are my dreams
That I'd never lived before - (I'm so happy to be living my life right now)
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping - (Don't shake me!)

Chorus
Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All the mistakes, one life contained
They all finally start to go away - (Good comes to those who wait, I guess)
Now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed
To be the person that I am today - (Self explanatory)

These are my words
That I've never said before - (I love you Laura)
I think I'm doing okay - (Yup, I'm doing okay despite what I think, it's not all about money)
And this is the smile
That I've never shown before - ( :) )
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping - (No!)

Sorry this post doesn't do justice, but it's a lot better if you read along with the actual song playing in the background.

Ahh!!! This morning I heard my phone ring at around 9:24. I woke up and I was like, who could be calling me? Then I fell back asleep and I woke up around 10:15. Not 5 minutes ago, the phone rang. The funny thing was, I was sitting at my desk and was like, I wonder who called? And then I remembered it was a different ring, so I went to check it out. Seriously, AS I picked up the phone, the phone rang again. It was just weird. The timing was like perfect. It said blocked ID, so I didn't answer. I listened to the other voicemail that was left and it was Laura!!! Dammit, I should have answered the second call. But man, it was strange though. She calls 1000s of miles away and I pick up the phone at the right time at the right place. We're meant to be huh? Anyway, I am hoping she will call again. They're 7 hours ahead I believe, which put them at around 5:30pm. I hope she's doing all right! And yes, I said it already, but I hope she will call again.

Whoa! I think this may be the first time that I used two paragraphs in a blog. I will be studying intensely tomorrow for a test on Monday. That's about it for this weekend. I miss Laura a lot. Kinda boring when she's not here. But then again Ft. Collins is boring. Well I'm going to go now. See ya.

Well, Laura left for Denver this morning. What a sad day. I didn't go to work. I actually did drive out to the office, but then took a U-turn at the parking lot and came home. Dunno why I didn't feel like going. Anyway, started my new Psych class, if I didn't tell you already. It shouldn't be hard at all. It's raining right now, which is quite amazing because it's been pretty much raining since like this morning. Hoping to go camping sometime soon too. My boss told me an interesting place so I want to try it out. Laura will be gone for about 6 weeks, which is damn long. Hopefully the Internet, MSN, and high speed internet will prevail. :) I'm gonna go. Laters.

Ahhhhhh, the first 4 weeks of classes are over and yet another 4 week begins in a couple of days. It really hasn't hit me until now that Laura is going to be leaving for Ireland in a few days. Wednesday morning exactly. That sucks. I'm going to miss her a lot. Really. 6 weeks!!! (I think) We'll manage I suppose. What's new? Nothing. I've been so damn busy and stressed out with school the last few weeks that I've been missing a whole bunch of stuff, mainly hanging out with Laura as much as I can before she leaves. Sucks, sucks, sucks! But, I do hope that it's a really fun time for her though. I am HOPEFULLY going in winter break, we'll see how that goes depending on the amount of money and debt I have laying around. That's the good news. I guess. We went to the zoo today and saw some cool animals. Then ate and came back. Chris is having girl problems but what's new right? A new girl named Allison is his target, but things aren't working for him, but we'll see. I need to slow down man. Life in general. I gotta enjoy what's going on you know? I'm going to the Renaissance Fair tomorrow with Laura and also Lee from work and her husband. It should be a fun time, really. Laura and I will be alone for a change which hasn't happened in a long time and our friends will be in medieval costume. Funny huh? I want to buy a bow and arrow from the fair, but it's $50 and it's expensive. I don't have that kind of cash. I'm really happy though that I did great in my first 2 classes. In addition to getting A's (yeah!) I am now a certified interpretive guide. Cool huh? A great resume booster I think. Also, we bought a new sofa today. Why? I don't know. I guess because it was cheap, pretty good quality, and because Shannon's roommates were the ones selling it. It's in the basement now, but I guess I really didn't need to buy it. Well, it was only $20, so it's not a big wallet cruncher. Anyway, I'm gonna get going. Laura is hanging out with her friends tonight and Chris is out somewhere, I think with Allison but I'm not sure. That's the news for the moment. Laters. Oh and I love you Laura! I'm gonna try and spend the next couple of days filling it with quality time. :)

It's blogger time! So this is finally the last week of my first 2 classes of the summer. It went well I suppose. I'm stressing out about this 10-minute speech coming up, but that's because it's for a certification process. I guess I don't really lost anything if I don't make the certification, just that I'm out $75...oh well. I've been listening to the New Age channel on Shoutcast a lot as well. It's cool. It may be cheesy, but it's soothing. I'm pretty much moved into our new house, though, which is good. Laura has a lot to go, but that's another story. And then there's always the money problem haunting me. It's always a damn problem. The problem is this. I spend JUST enough that the expenses outweigh my revenue, which causes debt. I can't pay that shit off! I have too much things to pay for. I need a second job is what I need, at least until I get this shit paid off. Among the other big news is that Ashley and TJ broke up. I guess life must go on huh? I don't know what else to say, but um, yeah, my website is flourishing day by day. I'm lovin' that. Success is always good. Anyway, I'm going to get going and finish up my assignment for tomorrow. Laters.

This is my 230th blog post. I didn't realize that I have written so much. I guess it's not THAT much considering I started nearly 3 years ago. Anywho, I'm all done moving in to the new house. It was probably one of the most, if not the most, annoying and frustrating things that a human being can do. It's by far been the most stressful thing I have done this year. Finals and school doesn't even come close, but when all these things come within a week or two of each other, it's unbelievably deadly. I just now need to find time to relax, concentrate on school since next week is the last week. Damn it goes so fast. Then I have another class right afterwards. Only 1 class, so I should be ok. So basically the entire house is a mess and we need to get working on it slowly and surely. I woke up waaay to early today and I'm tired as hell. I think the typical day should consist of 30 hours instead of 24. Seems much too short. But that's about the new news really. Just chugging along and working and paying the stupid ass bills. I really want to try and head down to the Renaissance Fair again this year, but we'll see what happens. It's either that or the Taste of Fort Collins. I don't know which is better. The latter you have to pay for everything, but the former you can just walk around and check stuff out and I like medieval stuff...hm...I'll post again in a couple of days when I have time. This week and next week is VERY hectic...I guess that means it could be a couple of week until the next post huh? Well, maybe I'll vent after my 10 minute speech next week. :)

Second week of school is coming up. I should really start to work on my speech topic and sorts. I have to give it in a couple of weeks! Anyway, Laura is in Denver for the next day or so. Also it looks like we're finally going to be able to move some time this week. Ain't that great. I have moving. I've moved every year now for, well, 4-5 years, I don't know which. In-fucking-credible. My car install went like crap. I tried to put something new on, and I did, but it didn't work. My car was un-drivable for a day and put everything back on. Total work time of probably damn near 20 hours or so. I hate it. Nothing new really. Been pretty laid back these days, albeit school had been taking a toll once again. I shouldn't have taken 2 classes in 1 4 week semester, but it's worth it I guess in the long run. Next 4 week term is only one class, so it won't be that hard. Thank god. Just listening to some trance right now. About to go get a can of Coke. I better start packing too, but to tell you the truth, I really couldn't find stuff to pack. They're already packed from the last move. Isn't that convenient? Well I'm going to get going. Will be writing again soon.

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.
