I know it's just a stupid meme, but it's interesting and shows I'm still alive and on/around LJ. heheh "She drank a Diet Coke to wake herself up, and walked upstairs to her study in the cupola of the house." Grab the book nearest you. Right now. * Turn to page 56. * Find the fifth sentence. * Post that sentence and these instructions. * Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST book.

I find it funny that the only major difference, where we clash, between my mate and I comes with our taste in music. We like mostly the same stuff, and there aren't really any problems. We clash on two bands. The band that he likes is a rap group titled Kottonmouth Kings, while my favorite band is a medieval rock group by the name of Blackmore's Night. The sounds are just so drastically different that it's funny. I can't stand rap, and he thinks my band is "weird." The sheer opposite nature of the bands and the fact that all the rest of our music meshes perfectly is interesting to me. I have to say that some of the new stuff from Kottonmouth Kings is ok since the lyrics and messages within the songs are quite good. This just the rap junk about getting high and pimp hands that I don't like. If you don't know of either band here's a link to a song that best shows what Blackmore's Night sounds like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pSYRLZj8xs The song's called "Loreley" and what Kottonmouth Kings sounds like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv-fpobD-zI The song's called "King Klick" And How Does That Make You Feel?  cheerful Auditory Accompaniment Blackmore's Night - Loreley |

I was out walking around last night around midnight or so when I was stopped by a cop again. Again?! Allow me to explain. Friday night we were at Kyle's Nick's house for a fire and party and shit, and I got bored/antsy, so Kyle and I went for a walk around the neighborhood. He was just talking about how Peter's Township cops are dicks, and that we'd probably be stopped at least once that night. Just after he said it a cop drove by, stopped, backed up with lights going, and stopped us. He was a little over-aggressive for 2 people going for a walk. He asked what we were doing, and we told him we were going for a walk. Where? Just around the neighborhood. Had we been drinking? No. Then he warned us that there were drunk drivers out that night, and that we would probably get hit. He took our IDs, recorded the DL Numbers, and sent us off. Luckily for me last night went much smoother. I was going for my usual nighttime walk, and I was up in the housing plan at the bottom of my street when I was stopped. Someone called the cops last night for some problems, and I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I walked past the 3 cars at the scene of the call as they were talking to someone, and they didn't seem to mind me. As I turned down a side street I was stopped. He was very polite and kind of nice. He asked me what I was doing, and I told him I was just out for a walk. He called in my DL number, and while he was waiting for it to come back we made small talk. He wasn't douche-y or overly aggressive, and his cell rang to AC/DC's Thunderstruck. He was kind of cool. Waaayy better than the Peter's cops. heh Also, I'll have my wings soon. The dudes who custom make sleepers, kigurumi, and hoodies have opened up commission slots. Since I was already on their waitlist I grabbed up a slot. I'm getting a winged hoodie stylized after my jay self. It'll hopefuly be done in time for AC. I've been looking forward to this hoodie for quite some time. For now this little birdy is off.

Alex's 21st birthday was yesterday, so we partied hardcore, and by we I mean they drank themselves stupid and I watched. I had to drive Joe and myself home that night, and I also had job related shit to do in the morning. We ate at Quaker Steak and Lube then went back to Alex's for Halo and beer pong. Joe is surprisingly good. Maybe that's because he wasn't drinking. heh We headed home around midnight, and that was about it. I met soom pretty cool people there like Trish and Inu (I hope I spelled it right), and Alex's sister's boyfriend (I'm sorry, but I can't remember either of their names right now. heh) This morning at 11 I was to go in to Wal-Mart for something job related. It was just to verify that I still wanted the position and that I could do all that was asked. I officially have the job now. That's the good news. The bad news os that for some reason or other they can't bring me in for orientation.to start until sometime in June. The begining of June is the best case scenario. I was hoping to have made some cash by then since I've been reluctantly using my tax checks for gas and food despite the fact that they were supposed to be exclusively for AC. Job money was to throw around not tax money. That means until I get my first paycheck I'm living off my AC fund since Mom refuses to help me out with anything except groceries. If I'm lucky I'll have 2 paychecks by the time AC rolls around. If that's the case then I'm definately not going to Otacon the week after AC. *growls* Gods damn Wal-Mart for being so slow. Then again, they were the only one to call me back, so they can't be all that bad. Either way, I have nothing to do now but sit on my ass, play video games, see Kyle, and make all-around lazy. I'd enjoy it more if I had cash to go along with my lazy. And How Does That Make You Feel?  frustrated |

I could go on an angry hate-filled geek rant about X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but I can sum it up in five words. Don't. Go. See. This. Movie. They ruined and fucked up soooooooooo many things I was in geek rage before the movie was finished. A movie you should see, however, is My Name is Bruce. It stars Bruce Campbell as himself. If you like Bruce Campbell see it. If you don't see it anyway. heh Tonight was quite fun. I saw the two previously mentioned movies with Addison, Joe, and Kyle; and then after everyone left I caught up with Tree, and we talked for a little over 2 hours. heh For now though this little birdy is off to his cage to dream of his roo and to dream of murdering everyone who wrote/signed off on the script for the Wolverine movie. G'night y'all. See ya eventualy. And How Does That Make You Feel?  pissed off |

Last night...my router died. I'm all kinds of sad because while I have broadband speeds it still feels like dial-up. We have a VIOP company for phone service, so our phones are tied to the internet. I can't be online and have working home phones at the same time. Also, I have to stay up in the office if I want internet. Waaaaah! *calls the wambulance* Verizon is sending me a new one in 3-5 days. Oh woe is me. heh And How Does That Make You Feel?  depressed |

Oh shit! I'm back (again). The semester is over, and I'm happy as a clam, or as a blue jay as the case may be. I just got out of a job interview at Wal-Mart this morning, and provided Old-Man Bob doesn't blackball me, I should get the job. I'd be working in the pet area, and making $0.80 more than my mom does at the elementary school. That's both funny and sad at the same time. I've been chilling out since getting home, seeing Kyle some more, and making lazy. It was Kyle's birthday yesterday, so we "celebrated" it all morning. heh Later on we met Nick and Dawn at Olive Garden before heading back to my house to watch Gone in 60 Seconds. There are plenty more things I could report on, but I figure I'll start fresh. No more, "I'll post about significant event later." crap. At least not with anything that has already happened. heh For now the tv calls me. Expect...well don't expect anything here. I'll update when I can be buggered to do it. See y'all eventually. *flys off* And How Does That Make You Feel?  pleased |

Not to worry; the emo is over (for the time being)! I had quite the amazing spring break, and there's a lot to post. What that means for y'all is that this is a "To be continued" filler post, and the real meat is coming eventually. It might show up tomorrow, next week, or when I'm in my 80's and writing my memoirs of what a crazy life I've had. Either way, shit's going down, and I have to sleep. I just wanted to post to say that I'm not dead, nor am I cutting my wrists and listening to Simple Plan. heheh And How Does That Make You Feel?  tired |

WARNING! IF YOU HAVE ADVERSE REACTIONS TO WHINY-NESS, BITCHY-NESS, OH-WOE-IS-ME SYNDROME, OR ANY SIMILAR CONDITIONS; PLEASE AVOID THIS LIVEJOURNAL FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE. Thank You. Either my mind or the gods hate me. As of now, 16 hours before I get to go home for spring break, I feel like shit. I'm roasting alive (despite the fact that the window is open some and the fan is on), I'm all ache-y and shake-y, my throat hurts and is all phlegm-y, and my head is pounding. I've done something to piss the gods off, or I'm one gigantic hypochondriac whose brain is out to get him. Josh left earlier today, so I have the room to myself. Since I don't have to worry about bothering him with loud music; I've been playing my iTunes library on shuffle sans headphones while I read. In just slightly more than 24 hours I managed to finish the second book in the Jedi Academy Trilogy. I also made a run to the comic book shop today to pick up New Avengers #50, Dark Avengers #2, and Ender's Shadow: Battle School #3. NA and DA were quite good. They both contained epic ass-fightscenes with a few interesting deaths (supposedly). I haven't goten to Shadow yet, but I will later on tonight. Anywho, I've determined that I can get a fairly restful sleep in about 2 hours if I play Blackmore's Night in the background. It felt like 2 or 3 hours had passed when I looked at the clock and realized it had only been 45 minutes. Josh took his tv home with him, so I have nothing to watch. Well, I'll probably watch more X-Men on the internet, but that's different. For now this lil jay is going to try to pull a GLaDOS and try to be Still Alive. G'night y'all. See ya eventually (possibly even sooner if you have some kind of break this week). And How Does That Make You Feel?  crappy Auditory Accompaniment I'll Never Be - Reel Big Fish |

For shits and giggles I tried going to sleep early again tonight. I don't have anything going on tomorrow, so I'm free to experiment with sleep without penalty. I woke up around 1300 today (after falling asleep around 0630), and I haven't napped or anything today. I fell asleep around 2300, and woke up at almost exactly 0100. Woo! We've reduced the sleep from three down to two whole hours before I wake up. I tossed and turned until abut 0130 when I got up. Tonight I'm not even going to try to go back to sleep. I'm just going to stay up until either I can't anymore or until tomorrow night comes along and I have to sleep. Maybe that's what I need right now; a good all-nighter. I wish there were more places open 24 hours around here that I could go to with anyone who is still awake. That's one thing that I don't like about the area; there are no Eat n' Parks anywhere near here. We have Perkins. I'm not a fan of Perkins. It just doesn't have the kick ass-ness (xkcd rule in action) that the Park n' Eats do. Maybe I should be an owl instead of a blue jay. I pull an owl's hours, and I'm kinda wise. Just don't ask me how many licks it takes to get to the ccenter of a Tootsie-Pop. I'm not cool enough to eat one in one crunch. Heheh On another consumer related note; tomorrow is comic shop day! I get to pick up New Avengers #50, Dark Avengers #2, and Ender's Shadow: Battle School #3. I'm all kinds of excited! Something different. I've noticed that when I'm up on campus I don't talk to nearly as many people as I do when I'm at home. Of my close friends: Addison, Joe, Graham, Tay, Kyle, Devon, Alex, and Nick I've recently spoken to: Kyleand Addison. The only real reason I've spoken to Alex and Nick was to make future plans, Tay is a different case because I go to college with her, I haven't talked to Graham or Joe since winter break, and the only times I've talked to Devon were when he's texted me first. I'm not sure why I lose contact with everyone so easily. I can explain Joe and Graham because they don't have texting, and they're never on AIM. Nick is the same way, but I used to call him every so often (more than now), and we'd talk about whatever. Devon has both AIM and texting, but I'm not sure why I haven't spoken to him in a while. I feel like I'm neglecting them all, but when I'm up on campus I get all kinds of anti-social. It's a douch-y thing for me to do, and I feel like an ass for not staying in touch with everybody especially because all I have to do is pick up the god damn phone. To anyone of y'all reading this I'm sorry for baing an un-attentive bastard. I'm running out of shit to say, so I'm going to head out. My book is calling me. To those who can sleep I say G'night.

How is it that when I go to sleep early so I can be rested for the next day I end up waking up within a short period of time and am unable to get back to sleep? Case in point; last night I went to bed around 2330, and I woke up around 0230. I remained awake until around 0630 when I finally fell back to sleep. I tried to go back to sleep for about an hour then I gave up and began reading my book. By 0430 I had finished what was left of my book, and I tried to go back to sleep again. Not even half an hour later I said, "Fuck it." and started the next book in the trilogy I'm reading. I finally fell asleep around 0630. I don't get it. When I go to sleep around 0200 or so I wake up feeling kinda tired. When I try to go to sleep earlier I wake up within 3 hours, and I'm unable to fall back to sleep. What the hell, man? Then again, I haven't been sleeping well lately, so that might be a factor. In other news, My conbadge I commissioned from Aubrin at AC '08 is nearing completion. I got a sketch from him earlier this week, and with my approval (which I gave (he does great work (hooray for parenthesis!))) it'll be complete soon. With that done all that's left is my commission from UndyingSong, but she's having some family problems so I'm not going to poke her about it for a bit. I also got Spazfox's new DVD titled Monolith of Ham, and it's damn funny. It's from his AC '07 show. I arrived late, so I only say the last half of it. This new DVD makes me feel just a bit more complete. I also got another copy of his first DVD titled Ow; since my other copy of the DVD I got was all screwed up. In a cruel twist of fate this DVD has the same problems that the last one did. I'm going to poke Spaz relatively soon to see what happens. I also had quite the awesomesauce weekend with Kyle, but I don't feel like writing any more right now. I'll post about it later. I'm done rambling. For now this lil jay is off to read his book some more and try to survive until the weekend. Spring Break Mutha Fucka!

02:32am 20/02/2009 |

It's times like these that make me wonder what in the gods names' is wrong with Josh and I. We just spent a good 15 minutes or so trying to lift birds off of the ground. You may be wondering, "What the hell am I talking about?" Well, allow me to elaborate for y'all. We were heading to bed, and neither of us wanted to turn off the light. We raced into out beds thinking that the last one up had to get back down and make the room dark. We made it up at about the same time and neither one of us would go back down, so Josh suggested I grab the broom from off of the top of my closet and use it to flip the switch. Somehow the broom ended up on the floor, and I grabbed the Swiffer in order to try to raise the broom back up. I couldn't, so I just used the Swiffer to turn off the light. After the light was off I noticed Josh's laptop was open and shining right at me, so I asked him to get down and close it. He refused, so I assaulted him with the Swiffer until he snatched it away from me. He then proceded to knock off my birds from their perches on my bedposts. After some fidgeting he managed to close his laptop with the Swiffer, and he then proceded to try to pick up the birds to give them back. We tried for quite some time to lift the birds using the Swiffer. We used the broom, his boots, and the other bird for support and/or leverage to get them back up to me. He also tried to fling them up, but all that accomplished was to get my blue jay fired at our door. After I tried a few times we decided to give up. It was then that Josh had to go to the bathroom, so he got down and left. While he was gone I figured I'd tell y'all about this little bit of randomness. I picked up the birds and the broom and put them all back where they belong. I have class tomorrow morning, so I'm going back to the nest for some sleep. G'night, and I'll see y'all eventually.

Yesterday was quite amazing! I went out to lunch at T.G.I.Friday's with Kyle, Nick, and Dawn. We than headed down this back road to an old abandoned property where someone murdered a few people, chopped up their bodies with a hatchet, and buried them in the yard. The place burned down, but the property is very picturesque and quite enjoyable to walk around. Dawn believed there was a repeating pattern of a ring of trees with one singular tree in the middle of the circle. The pattern showed up a few times, but only two times did it seem to be more than a coincidence. After poking around for a while we split up, and Kyle and I went back to his house for movies and snuggles. We watched 28 Weeks Later, and it aggravated the hell out of me. The people in the movie are so freaking stupid. The shit they do boggles the mind. Other than that it wasn't all that bad a movie. After the movie we headed upstairs where Kyle cooked dinner and we watched Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace. He made home made macaroni and cheese, and it was delicious. After dinner we went over to Dawn's house where the four of us watched Lakeview Terrace. Unlike some movies, that one did not get better with the second watching. When the movie ended Kyle drove me back to his house so I could get my car and head home. I had shit to do today, and I was falling asleep. I had to get home before I passed out. Luckily I made it home without incident. Today I was busy as hell. I had to do two loads of my laundry, and because my mom was sick I had to do two loads of hers as well. I also had to go to the grocery store for her and myself. When I got back up to the Boro I immediately headed to Wal-Mart with Josh to get mini-eggs. Unfortunately I forgot my wallet back at the dorm, but Wal-Mart didn't have the eggs yet, so it wasn't all that bad. After we got back I unpacked, and I'm now just chilling out with some Adult Swim. It's back to the sameold-sameold, so this little birdy is signing off for now. G'night, and I'll see ya eventually. And How Does That Make You Feel?  jubilant |

Well, I called it. The party was a wash. It was Josh, Tay, Danish, and myself. Kirsten and Scotty never showed up. We watched Repo then Tay and Danish left. So much for the musical marathon and blank white cards. BWC wouldn't have been much fun with only three or four people anyway, so it's not that big of a loss. We didn't have any of our heavy hitters, so there wouldnt've been many amazing and/or memorable cards. I'm kind of used to any partys that I plan bolwing up on me, so it's nothing new. I was thinking of having a Star Wars marathon, all six movies back to back, but with the way things usually go it's only be 3 people, and 2 of them wouldn't really like Star Wars. What do y'all think? Should I try to throw another party, or should I just say, "Fuck it." and not even bother? No matter what the future holds, right now I'm going to finish up the second Ender's Shadow and probably read some more of my book. See y'all eventually. And How Does That Make You Feel?  cynical |

The party hasn't even started, and it's already going downhill. Kyle couldn't come which makes me a sad birdy, Nick called and told me he couldn't come (30 minutes after I had left to go get him), and Constantine called to say he couldn't come. Josh and I are still coming (it is our room after all), Tay and Danish are still comming, and Kirsten and her boyfriend Scotty might be coming (she's still a bit put off by Tay, so she may not come). It's still a party, but (no offense to those who're still coming) it's not a par tay. We don't have crabman, I don't have my roo, and the greek charades champ isn't around. We still have our ravers and anime kids, so it's still cool. I just hope that all of this is just a little thing and not an omen signaling worse things to come tonight. I guess we'll find out soon enough, and y'all find out either later on tonight or tomorrow (depending how tired/busy I am). I also went to the comic shop nearby, and it was quite amazing. I picked up Deadpool #'s 1-3, The New Avengers #49, Dark Avengers #1, Ender's Game #3, and Ender's Shadow #'s 1&2. There are 4 more Deadpool comics I need before I'm caught up, but aside from that everything's cool. I also had a 15% off coupon for Barnes & Noble, so I picked up Young Avengers vol 1. Sidekicks. With the first 6 volumes of New Avengers (collecting #'s1-31) coming I'm doing pretty well getting caught up on new-ish comics (or at least the ones I like). I'm becoming more and more of a comic nerd, so I'm pretty happy. Heheh Either way this jay has to get ready for the party, so I'll report back eventually. See y'all. *flies off into the unknown* And How Does That Make You Feel?  calm |

I went and saw my math teacher today to try and play a little catch up. I believed I was only behind a chapter or so, but it turns out we're already on 3.2 while I'm on 1.3. I've missed two quizzes, but good news; He drops the two lowest quizzes! Since everything builds on everything else I have some work ahead of me. I have to work backwards in order to work forwards and keep up. I have quite the task in front of me, but it's my own fault I'm in this position. As I say to everyone else so I say to myself, "That's what you get!" He gave me some good advice and a starting point, so let's hope for the best. And How Does That Make You Feel?  optimistic |

Well folks, I'm back with all kinds of news. Let's begin with the good; shall we? The Steelers won yet another Super Bowl! For those of you who didn't watch the Super Bowl; y'all missed one hell of a game. I'm not going into detail, so lets just leave it at, "Huzzah!" Next off was my weekend. I headed down home early Friday, and I spent most of the day just relaxing and existing. It was kind of boring, but nice. Saturday, on the other hand, was quite the day. Kyle came down, and we grabbed some food at TGIFridays, and then we poked around at the mall for a bit. While at the mall I picked up the Secret Invasion TPB, and it was very epic. I wish I had a bit more knowledge on the events leading up to it, but even without it was another Marvel masterpiece. After poking around at the mall we headed back to my house to watch some movies and get all cuddly. We watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. After the movies we migrated and "dot dot dot." Sadly, Kyle had to go back home, so he couldn't stay. Hopefully I'll see him this weekend for the little "party" I'm throwing. As mentioned before, Sunday was Super Bowl madness. On to the bad section of the report. The data from my chemistry lab last week got all kinds of corrupted, so I have to find time to re-do the lab. It won't be all that hard, but it's damn inconvenient . Speaking of chemistry; I may have to withdraw from the course. Because of my earlier funk I've missed quite a bit, and I fear I won't be able to bounce back from the grade hit. If I do stay in the class I'd have to bust my nuts off and hope I can pass with a C. If I get a D, even though I've passed I have to retake it. I'm going to see Dr. Edwards and see what his opinion is. I already have to retake Prin1, so why not add Prin2 to the list? The last part is what everyone's been waiting for. Now we come to the hopeful section of today's little post. First off I send big hugs to everyone of my friends who've offered words of encouragement, support, or even just acknowledged my little problem. Y'all are one of the main reasons why I'm still in college. If you combine all of that with the e-mail I got from my PreCalc teacher and a comment a friend of mine made during a chemistry lab, you get a lot of hope and purpose. All he said to me was that he appreciated all the help I was giving him during the labs. Knowing I helped someone in lab makes me remember why I chose to go to college to become a Forensic Scientist. I want to help people. If I don't pass everything I'll let a lot of people down who care for me and that I care for, and I won't be able to help more people like my friend in lab. That's why tomorrow I'm trying to get together with my PreCalc teacher, so I can get caught up and I can return to class. He cares, and with his, Joe's, and Tay's help I know I'm going to do fine. My one regret is that I may be stranding my lab friend if I withdraw from Prin2. This is one of those cases where the needs of the many (all the people I could be helping if I graduate and don't get kicked out for failing too much) outweigh the needs of the few (my friend in lab). I'll just have to see what Dr. Edwards has to say, and hope for the best. I feel good now. I've been sleeping better and having more fun. Just as back in November; change is coming. I can feel it. With all my friends and loved ones by my side I know I can tackle whatever comes my way. (Sorry for the cliche "friends speech". I feel like I'm in an episode of Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh. Heheh) For now this little birdy is off to read some then hit the nest. G'night y'all, and thanks for everything! And How Does That Make You Feel?  loved |

I know this isn't the kind of post anyone would expect after my last one. I do have a response/update, but that's for later (probably Sunday). I'm trying to keep this weekend light and fun, so just bear with me. This post is about something that surprised me today. The latest incarnations of some older franchises have been horrible. The new animated Transformers show makes me want to scream. From what I caught of it; Optimus is a pushover and a wimp, Bumblebee is a hyperactive douche, the animation makes me want to vomit small children, and the only saving grace is that Weird Al voices Wreck-Gar. Another new one is Batman The Brave and the Bold. The animation style is just as kiddy, but he has an ever changing cast of cameo DC heroes. It makes things interesting, but I can't say much good about it. That's my personal bias because I'm not a fan of DC's heroes, so take it with a grain of salt. There was and/or is a new animated Spider-Man cartoon, and while I've never seen an episode of it I have seen the toys. The character styles make Transformers Animated look like fine art. I can't take a cartoon seriously if it looks that bad. The suprise comes in the form of Wolverine and The X-Men. It reminds me a lot of the old cartoon from the 90's, but looks kinda like X-Men: Evolution. It's not whiny, it's not kiddy, and it holds my interest. The main team consists of Wolverine, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Kitty Pryde, Iceman, Beast, Angel, Forge, and soon to be Storm. With the exception of Logan's voice I really like how they portray him. He's loyal, brash, a hard ass, but he's responsible and he cares for the team. Cyclops no longer comes off as a prick. He's a bit cold due to the fact that Jean is missing. Emma comes off as a bit of a bitch, but from what I can tell that's how she's supposed to be. Kitty is a bit katty, but I can deal with that. I've never been a fan of Iceman/Bobby Drake, so there's not much to say about him without it being tainted. Beast is awesome as usual. Angel normally pisses me off, but he seems solid in this series. Forge is a lot younger than in the 90's cartoon, but I like him. He kind of reminds me of Cid from Final Fantasy. I've always liked forge, and this one is no exception. Storm wasn't in the episode that I saw, so I can't say much about her. Apparently Rogue is a bad guy, but she was only mentioned, so who knows. Magneto was, and will always be, a hard ass. I know my descriptions are vague, so just watch for yourself. It's on Nick, but I don't really know when. (I'm full of such useful infromation) Anyways, if you like the X-Men check out Wolverine and the X-Men. I don't like many shows that try to replace/modify/upgrade from their original, so if I like it maybe you will too. And How Does That Make You Feel?  geeky |
