I Am No Longer Topless

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I should have, but I really didn't manage my time wisely at all. Umm... Not much happened yesterday. My classes were all pretty mundane, and I had to hit up the Archy store so I could drop another 50$ on school supplies (grumble, grumble, grumble). However, stuff that I was supposed to post yesterday, that didn't happen yesterday was pretty important. First, I got my laptop! It r came in the mail a day earlier than it was supposed to (more like it came 4 days late, but then they told us it was on back order). Needless to say, I am extra excited about this. I don't even have it hooked up to the lollernets yet, and I've already played with it like everyday! It's such a relief to finally have a computer in my house that actually works. I feel like the majestic phoenix, erupting to life in a powerful rebirth. Plus, I finished the Resident Evil book I was reading. Now I've only got two more books in the series (btw, I'm still reading Twilight too...)


*Shiver runs down spine*


Okay, so on to today. Fridays are basically my architecture day. My first class was architecture theory at 9, and the next is drawing architecture at 12:30. Yep... Right now I've got a pretty big chunk of time inbetween classes, so I'm using this to blog and continue watching all of sxephils videos. He's pretty funny, but let's be honest... this many vlogs gets... I don't want to say boring, but repetitive sorta... In all reality I should probably get off the computer anyways to go eat and such... but I'm not that smart (which is odd because I'm the one that brought it up...). I really want to go home right now... But I can't, because I have (as I've said before. PAY MORE ATTENTION!) another class... then I have work. Damn... Okay, so I'm just stretching this on. Bye.

I Was Morally Oppesed To Doing Shit Today

Let's see. My math class last night was interesting... It seems like it'll be pretty easy if I pay attention (btw: Trigonometry). My instructor kinda sounds like the Hispanic version of Apocolyptica (They kinda talk like this). After class, I hit it, and ran to the bus stop. I knew that the next bus didn't come till 3:15 or so (I got out of class at 2:50), but I was hoping that a bus was late or something, and I could hop on that. However, no such luck. I had to wait till the next bus... which was late. So I didn't get on the bus till about 20 after. Which sucked, because, I had work... So I got home at about 4 (when I supposed to be at work), called in and said I'd be there at 4:30. I tried to quick eat, but I ended up taking half of my supper with me anyways. Work actually went pretty well, but I was still really tired by the end of it. Went home, got dressed, chatted with Andrew for a bit, then went to sleep.

Thus we get to today. I woke up this morning at about 4:08. I checked the clock (that's how I know the time it was!), then fell back asleep. So I woke up again, this time about 4:44... Dammit! So I went back to bed again until about quarter after 6, woke up, and waited for my alarm to go off so I could shut it off. It's crazy, though, my sleeping habits have never been like this... ever. I mean, during break, I kept having hard times falling asleep, and now I'm actually waking up on time and on my own... It's really fucking weird... But I got up, packed my stuff and got ready to leave. I was ready for at least 20 minutes before I had to leave, which led to me being really bored... I finally just got up and left. I was early for my bus, but a strange late/early bus came by, I shrugged "eh", and got on. Low and behold, this wasn't a real bus, or a real bus driver. Turns out he just wanted to rape me and steal my skin. So I kicked him in the throat and crashed his bus into the river. Okay, so that was all bullshit... but seriously... I got on campus and went to the Union lab (where I am now), and soon met Aubin. He and I were talking for a bit before he took a picture from the UWM home page into paint and added his own flair to it:
See?
Then, I introduced Aubin to Aron E., you may remember this silly jackass from earlier posts. Aubin laughed at him for a while (who can blame him), then I headed on off to class. I don't really want to admit it, because I do find it interesting and all... but architecture theory is a really boring class. I took about a 10 minute nap in there, class ended early, then I went on back to the Union (btw: Aubin wants to start telling people the 'union' is pronounced 'onion').

So, I listened to music, and started eating. It was really early, so I didn't want to eat all of my lunch, but I was oddly starving. As I was eating, I was writting the script to my highly anticipated "Cappy" film. I finished a scene when This morose mutha' fucka walks by me. So Steve sat down and we chatted for a bit. We both traded bits of our schedules, and he had to leave to grab something to eat before his class started at noon. So, I finished up my English homework, and headed to my computer lab. AAAHH I WANT MY LAPTOP! HURRY UP YOU DUMB UPS GUY!!!

So, while on the computer, I checked all my e-mails and such, looked to see if all of those chapters were really online for my art history class (they weren't... I think I'll just hold onto the book for now), and am listening to the entire "Appeal to Reason" cd by Rise Against off of youtube (retards who post songs with still screens and call them videos...). So far it's been really good (btw: both singles and their accompaning videos are amazing!!!). The only thing I could say even remotely negatively about it, is that Tim really doesn't scream at all... Oh well, you move on (mainly because I'm not one of these jerk-offs who feals the need for life to be put on hold while I bitch and bitch because things aren't going the exact right way for me). Yep. Now I'm probably going to go to the archy store and buy my supplies for my arch class on Fri. (I really don't want to buy another text book or any more expensive as shit supplies...). Mhmm... And then, at 3:30, I've got my english class. I just want to go home... I just want to go home, lay down, eat something, and chill out... I haven't felt like doing anytihng today. It's like when you know it's cold outside, but you're inside. That nice warm, comfortable, secure, safe, and mildly arousing feeling... I want that like right now!

Today Is Tuesday... No Seriously, It's Tuesday

Yeah, today has been one of those days that just drags on... and on... and on (for good measure). No. For serious. I woke up this morning at 6 (it's about quarter to 1 now). I ate breakfast, packed the rest of my stuff, couldn't find an empty bottle, and then sat down for a minute in shame that the sun hadn't even come up yet... WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?! Sorry. So about 6:40, I took off and hit up the bus stop. The bus wouldn't be there until about 6:56, but I wanted to make sure I'd cathch it. So, I waited for a few more minutes before hoping on my MCTS chariot and being whisked away to the far off land of the east side (where it is hard core and people get killed everyday!!!). So, I got to campus a little early (better than a little late), and then trekked to my first class of the day: Art. So far, this class seems like it will be better than last years, but it also seems like I'll actually have to do shit (c'mon now...). That class seemed absurdly long because last year, I got to leave about 15 minutes early to cathc the last bus, but I got through it nonetheless. Next, my Art History class, which starts 15 minutes after Art. Basically, I have to get my ass across campus with enough time to spare to peg one of the seats in the back where there's more room for my portfolio (It's a lecture hall). My head did dip down once or twice during it, but I got through it. I also got through it after finding out I need a book (which I already bought) that all the needed chapters are supplied online... WHY should I spend $100 dollars on something you're giving me? Call me crazy (because I am), but why should I do that?!?! Aaaaah! After Art History, I've got my only break of the day. I get out of class at about noon (11:30 for today), and my math class doesn't start till 2. It's a nice break for lunch and whatever work I need to get done (like my blog ^_^). Oh, and guess what happened to me at lunch? I realized that I had not finished making my PB & J... So, I just had two pieces of bread in a bag. Damn. Now I'm really hungry and I've still got to show up to another class. Plus, after my math class, I've got to catch a bus, get back to town, grab something to eat, and drag myself into work. Yeah...

And now, I near the end of my blog, and I'm watching sxe phil videos... from 2007 on up... There's 14 pages of them. Kay, I'm gonna leave now... Umm... Bye...

Blog Post 69... How Fitting

It is true. Like all things are, we go back to where we once came. It is an unwritten and very haunting reality. And with that, my blog returns as I am shuffled back to school. I must say that the previous month was insane. by no means in a bad way, but certainly far from good (let's be honest, no matter how well things are going, there will always be shit. And no, that's not a pessimistic outlook on life). I've got so much to catch everybody up on! This is going to be fun!

For starters, the Holidays. Now, I've tried to blog whenever I could, and if my memory serves, I did update the peoples of how all of my holidays went down. Now, as you all know, major holidays are never 1 day ordeal. I mean, there's always a heightened sense of stress around these times you know? I mean, sure the suicide rate always increases around the holidays, BUT that's not what I mean by stresses (that's just retarded). You know how it is with family around, and the constant sense of 'shit gonna go down because I've got too much stuff on my mind'. But, I got through it all (it was MUCH easier without school in there nagging me too!).

And, with no school, good 'ol BD was flooded with kidlings back from college (Because we all know how cool it is to go to random fucking colleges just to get away from your family and meet douche bag people). However, over the entire break, I really didn't see that many peoples. Well, sure I saw my main group of friends (love you guys), but I didn't see any of those people that I rarely ever see or hear from any more. The only person I saw more than once was Maddie, who, to be quite honest... I really didn't want to see all that much... You know, looking back, I really wasted a lot of time with her (any guy knows EXACTLY what I mean). It's crazy how differently I look at it all now, and of course, she sees no problems with anything... So I move on. I won't say that 'I don't care' because, despite my love for the song, there always will be some level of 'care'. It's more like I've just changed. I can see the things important to me more clearly, and I guess that means that she's been moved on that list. Oh well you know. Wheels keep on spinning round. As for the few people I did see, it was nice to hang with them again and try to catch up a little. I guess it also made me hate this whole "college" life-style. It's like "Let's forget everything we know because we're in college now! Nyah! Things MUST be changed because we're in college! I need to be an asshole because we're in college! College college college!!!". I say, fuck all that. Nothing has to change from the trasition between highschool and college. And for the things that change, lets let them change when they must, not because we assume it has to happen! Blarg. Sorry, you've all read this shit before, I'll move on no kays?


K. So much has happened over break it's hard to really get you where you need to be. Most of break is pretty easy to sum up actually. For a while there I was clocking in over 10 hours of sleep a night. That's about when I started to feel like a lazy, worthless piece of shit. However, I still managed to clock in plenty o' hours at work. Actually, the first week or two of break I never got a full day off. I always had some sort of shit to do... Then after a while, my schedule freed up, and I started spending most of my days with the regulars (sorry if that sounds insensitive). I had so many good times just chillin' out at Kiwi's until 3, 4 in the morning doing almost absolutely nothing!. It took me almost all of break to realize I haven't accomplished shit, and that I should sort some stuff out. I wrote a whole big list of things I want/need to get done. Some of the things on there are pretty special, but others are quite mundane. It's been a long since coming, but I seem to be typing out so many things more now that I have my portable hard drive which holds ALL of my files on the computer. ALL of them. I'm not really sure why it took me so long to type out all of my lists, seeing as how wordpad files take up a few kilobytes... Eh, oh well.

And now I'm back in school. I really don't want to be here (not that that's a very big surprise right?). Let me explain, I really do not feel at all prepared to be back here again, trying to be responsible and all book learnen an' stuffs. I mean, I don't have my books yet, I just printed off and looked over my schedule last night at work, and I just realized that my tuesdays will kill me... Oh well, I'm here, ready or not. I've just got to suck it all up and kepp on goin'. At least my schedule is a lot better this semester. I mean, now I've got open nights everyday (except Tues. ... work). Plus, I still have those nice neat breaks in between classes. Although those 'nice neat' breaks are a little different every mon. and wed.. A 5 hour break... really? I can't waste that much time everyday online! I'm pretty sure (starting Wed.) I'll just go home in between.

On a slightly lighter note, some good things have arisen now that I'm back in the swing of things. Today alone, I've caught up on everyone's blogs (including my own! Happy Face ^.^!!!), caught up on Arby N' The Chief, and am almost done with the last episode of Heroes (Hooray for having not missed any of "volume" 4!!!). Plus, Now that I'm in college, and my home computer totally sucks balls, drum roll plz, I'm getting a laptop!!! I've never been too big a fan of laptops, but I am extra excited about this! I mean, I have so much shit planned for that little guy already! First, I can finally start finishing all of those computer projects I've been working on (art related projects. I'll try and make them available once done!). Plus, I'm totally going to burn like a billion [unreleased] shows onto dvd! (starting with Rugrats! OMG! I less than three the Rugrats sooooooo much!!!) Plus, as an added bonus, it has light scribe which will totally add to the legitimacy to these dvds! And now I can finally go on the internet and load videos, and go on the sites I want to without it killing me inside! And one more thing, which I'm going to surprise y'all with in the coming few days! Stay tuned!

So sure, this blog was really long, and really didn't accomplish must, but I still think it was a necessity. Plus, I really miss typing thins out. K, see you guys later!

Return Of The Blog!

Hey there party people! It's been a while since I've had a blog with any testicles, but that'll [hopefully] change by the end of the night! Now, since I haven't been doing much blogging, needless to say, a lot of stuff has happened. Plus, I have no idea when most of this stuff even happened, so I'm just going to go through it all as I remember it.

First, I've gotten a few movies watched. Kung-fu Panda (Dreamworks animation has finally done right by me. Not only did they have a great cast of voice actors, but a good enough story to go along with them. Plus, they have hammered out some really impressive visuals, some even close to The One And Only. And, the thing that really got me hyped about the movie was the fantastic art direction that went along with it! Every character model was well thought out as well as synched with the voices, and there was a clear researched knowledge of Chinese art.), Memento (which was sort of what I expected it to be. I mean, I had known prior to watching it that it wasn't chronological, so the piece by piece story line was expected. The story was good and the way it was told was really interesting, however, I for one saw the ending coming...), Slapshots (Which was a pretty funny hockey movie (when is hockey not funny?), although I did sort of zone out during the serious portions of it...) and The Sqwuid and the Whale (which I chuckled a few times at, and I thought it was okay (it showed more of a reality than just a film), but it was just one of those kinds of movies... Nothing too spectacular, which I found funny because a shit ton of critics cited it among their top films of the year...).

I also got bunches more music. Apocalyptica (Oh my God, uber beasts [from Finland]!!!), Innerpartysystem (Their cd is fantastic! They are among the best techno groups I've ever heard, and they are still just a new band. The only thing I can think to say 'negetively' about them is that they don't have very many quick songs (Don't Stop is a godsend!!!)), Hollywood Undead (funny as fuck you can ask Bob Saget! Now, I will admit to these guys as clown shoes, but they are clown shoes who absolutely know what they are doing. The best clown shoes! Think D12 when Eminem was still around... Also, their serious songs have really fucking awesome lyrics admist the 'emo' shananigans), Shiney Toy Guns' newest Season of Poison (I liked it. They came in with their same style mixing free for all that allowed almost every song to have a midway break... but I must say I'm more of a fan of their old singer... sorry), The Nightmare Revisited (Everything you loved about The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack now done with your favorite artists' personal spin. It was great to hear so many different well known groups covering these beloved songs. Pick this bad boy up!) and Noah and the Whale (which many of you may likely have never heard of, but that's okay. These guys have a true indy sound to them while mixing some very unappreciated instruments. Their sound is mild and moves well with their cooky life lesson sort of lyrics). Yeah, my ears have been really busy as of late.

Well you got a taste of my recent media endevours... but now I'm being kicked out of here, so I'll just leave you with this:

I got to watch Star Wars: Return of the Jedi today at work! Rofl!!!

My New Years Eve: A Shot Of Stoopid With A Twist Of Loser

With my current situation, I post less often, but encompass more days in each individual post. Well, fuck that. This post will be entirely devoted to one of the most commonly known let downs of the year: New Years Eve.





My day started off around noon, as do most of my days during winter break. I really should fix that because getting 12 hours of sleep each night is really taking up all of my time... But anyways, I got up and milled about the house. Kiwi called... umm... sometime around 2 I think. I told him I was gonna hop in the shower and try to get to his house in about an hour. However, I got caught up with 102.1's countdown of the top 102 songs of 08. Like any countdown, it's best to just look at the list as a whole, and not in their special order... So I was late to getting in the shower, and I still had to eat some Christmas leftovers. Once Andrew and I finally left, we went to Pick N' Save so he could withdraw some moneyz. It was somewhere around now that I realized (I guess I should mention that Andrew had called Sam 2-3 times already) that Andrew should leave my cell number with Sam so if she were to try and call us, I would actually pick up. Andrew agreed with me (who wouldn't), took my phone (cuz it has my number in it) and headed back home to call Sam yet again, and leave a message with my number on it. Meanwhile, I waited for a bus to sweep me off to Kiwi's. I expected myself to get there around 3, I got there around 4:30. We chatted for a bit before reading the descriptions of the episodes of Twilight Zone from then one till some-odd time in the early morning. Then Kiwi popped in the second disc of The Dark Knight, and we watched a few special features. Right about here is when Andrew rolled in. I found out Jacob had called me/him while he was gonna and Andrew wasted most of my minutes listening to my voicemail. Either way, we could see that Jacob was noobbing this place up. So Kiwi called him and talked to him while Andrew and myself made fun of him in the background. Apparently he had no money and couldn't find his bus ticket, so I offered to spot his meal for the night, if he just found his bus ticket to get here (or at least scrape up 2$ in change... shouldn't be that hard). But then, as if a miracle had occurred, Jacob's dumbass found his bus ticket... retard. So he finally got himself on a bus (he called me shortly before that and said that a bus driver saw him chasing the bus and drove off anyways). Until then it was just Andrew myself and Kiwi watching some classic Twilight Zone episodes. Right about here is when Kiwi told us that Steve was talking to him last night and likely said he wouldn't show up because he was under the impression that this small party was turning into some major thing with a bunch of people all wandering about. So, right about here is when I realized: Tonight was gonna suck... Not only did all of the extra invited people not show up... two of the main people were showing up late or not at all. It looks as though this year will be just like any other... Nevertheless, I tried to enjoy myself, Jake got there, and Kiwi's dad gave us a ride over to Taylor & Dunn's (if a bit begrudgingly... we did sort of just spring it up on him). We got a table pretty quickly, despite our assumptions that it would be busy today, and since we were there around supper time. As expected all of Kiwi and Jake's coworkers recognized and said hi to them. One of them was even nice enough to buy us an appetizer (sweet! He's my favorite person that works there now (sorry Kiwi)). We all basically got sandwiches. Half of us took onion rings, the other half got fries. Plus we had our free appetizer of cheese curds (which we got because we didn't want to the more expensive sampler, and seem like dicks). I got a chicken ruben and onion rings, both of which were very tasty, but more like home made tasty. It was good. And while we were eating, I was texting Catherine and trying to work out a way to save her from the lame as shit 'party' (oh, but I forgot, it's not a party if you don't have alcohol) she was at. We devised a plan and the rest of us enjoyed the rest of our meals. We saved tidbits of food for her as a joke, and all pitched in to get her an appetizer as well. Now, it was after 8 by the time we were done eating and left... so you know what that means!!! The bus was free for all of the drunks!!! So we left Taylor & Dunn's, and walked all the way to Pick N' Save by my house. That was an interesting walk... I'm pretty sure we told a cop to honk his horn... Anywho, we got aaaaaalllllllllll the way over to Pick (which was an easier walk than I had expected it to be... I don't know why) and well... They were closed. Actually they were in the process of kicking people out and shooing away the rest (which would have been us). Catherine was texting me again, now asking if we were done eating (are we ever done eating? C'mon now...). We walked over to the bus stop and were a bit afraid that it wasn't running because we hadn't seen any buses this whole time... So Jake called up MCTS and got the bus times He was so pissed when he found out that the next bus was coming at 9:10! Well, that is, he was pissed until I told him it was 9:05... So we waited, saw Vlad and company come out of Wendy's, words were exchanged, and then finally hopped on the bus. It felt pretty badass to be riding the bus on over to Kiwi's for free (which is odd because I do it all the time... thank you UWM bus pass!). We got there and turned on some more Twilight Zone. We of course talked and, as unfortunate as it was, generally ignored the Twilight Zone. Then Catherine and her ride, Connor, showed up. It was nice Catherine could make it because now it wasn't a total sausage fest (no offense guys...). I remember not liking Connor all that much, but around us he was okay. I guess it's just really the people he hangs with that are no good...



Anywho, it was all fun and games until Kiwi heard a tapping on the door. Tap. Tap. Tap. Kiwi slowly got up and left the room, and before he exited my vision, he uttered the words 'I'll be right back'. He walked. Slowly. Towards his back door. It is so dark out. Abnormally dark. Like the blacks of the eye. And then. He saw it! It was repulsing! He could not believe his eyes. The horror! The horror. He raced back into the room, terror stricken, the blood had flushed from his face, he was as pale as a ghost. In between pants he was able to sound out these few syllables: It's Steve.



Yep. Steve decided to show up. Which also meant Catherine could stay longer (Connor had to leave at 11). So it was a grand old time filled with College 101 filming, verbal insults, random insightful conversation, Pokemon Master Trainer, talking about Aron behind his back, and you can't forget about all that good ol' sexual tension (Kiwi and I go way back). Yeah, it was a pretty awesome time, and the night ended up being by no means a complete loss. We even counted down twice, once for our midnight, and once for New York's midnight (don't they know that's at 11?!?!?!). Kiwi even handed out poppers to us all so we got to scare the shit out of Bill Cosby. Plus, Kiwi's mom gave us shrimp for good luck, and whether or not I will receive good luck from it... it was still really good shrimp! So, in the end, the only thing I have against the night was that my lonely ass had no one to kiss at midnight (sad face). I've sort of got an IOU in that department, so I guess I can see past it. Anyways, the night didn't end there. Well, it did for Catherine and Connor. Catherine drove herself home (Steve and I drove with), and Connor left at about 12:30. We were still out partying till a little after 5 when Steve, Andrew, and myself finally said 'it's time for some fucking sleep'. So we headed out, thus concluding our long as shit celebration of the coolest loosers eva'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
