am i more than you bargained for, i've been trying to tell you anything you want to hear, 'cause that's just who i am this week.

i went out yesterday, a satuday night, which is something i haven't been able to do since i got my job at the dorms a little over a year ago. i had tons of fun and it was great seeing all the people i don't get to see on a regular basis anymore. a good friend, Benjamin, who shall remain nameless, is currently improving his Spanish speaking skills abroad. if it is at all possible for him to improve. but to the point, he posted a quote from a previous blog of mine concerning the bathroom situation at the New North residence hall. and i must say it did warrant me quite a bit of concern when i would run into mutual friends of ours, mine and Ben's. on a positive note, the semester is over, and i won't be working at New North next semester. and there has been kind of an update to the building as well. they installed buttons at the front desk that would allow safe passage through the swirling vortex that of a wind tunnel between the two buildings that comprise New North. once in the other building, i could use the lavatory facilities there. however, there is no way for myself, or any other personel not living in the dorms to get back into the main building with the desk inside. which is kind of essential to the whole sitting desk thing.
in addition, i think i may have come down with a case of the sniffles. but since i was feeling kind of icky before it got really bad i already began taking some otc's to quell what might end up being the flu, again. i swear, while i was active duty army and for the most part national gaurd, i never got sick. and now that i am through with my enlistment, it seems like i am always getting the bug from somewhere. nyQuil, nyQuil, nyQuil we love you, you giant fuggin' Q.

mr. curious well i need some inspiration, it's my birthday and i cannot find no cause for celebration

the song title is technically coincidental, i was listening to the cd while i was at work thing about what to put in my blog. i was like hey, that would be a good title, and the rest -- as they say -- is history.
well finals week is officially over for me, and soon i'll be heading home for the holidays to spend the merry, nay, blissful occasion with my family. my brother, Kenneth, has apparently released some sort of musical recording, and it makes me wonder, did we all get something from our father even in his total lack of presence. i draw, even if it is nothing more than doodles at times. kenny is now apparently making music as well. cory looks like him, in a way. and saadia, well i don't know what she got in that respect, but i'm sure it's something from her personality. in regards to what my brothers cd is like, and i'm kind of looking forward to actually hearing it, my sister has kindly referred to the "oompa loompa" song as bangin'. my mom also talked about the same song, apparently noone has bothered to learn the title, but i hope it all goes well for him.

so don't bother, i won't die of deception, i promise you won't ever see me cry, don't feel sorry.

first off let me just start by saying support Shakira! she is awesome pawesome. on a side note, i just recently got Oral Fixation Vol 2, although technically the first volume was called Fijacion Oral vol 1. one of the reasons is volume one is in spanish, while the dubbed volume two is in english. so while the titles are appropriate, they are not neccesarily sequential. but the second cd is also a good buy for all those fans of Shakira. the thing i want to point out is that it really shouldn't have been a stand alone album. much like the Kill Bill movies, the to cd's simply compliment each other. so seperating them into individual titles seems to make it sort of unbalanced, and again like the Kill Bill movies, i think the average listener will prefer one over the other.
another thing, i'm trying to earn an Xbox 360, and you can help! simply follow the link, either here http://xbox360s.freepay.com/?r=25650198 , or over in my link section, they both operate in the same manner. once you sign up and follow the instructions, and register for one of the offers you will also be signed up for a free xbox 360. and all you have to is get 8 people to sign up for one of the offers with your own personally link. please don't feel pressured to do any of it though. oh and another thing, i only need 8 people to successfully complete an offer, so I will post here when i get my eight referrals so that people don't use my personal link anymore, because it does not benefit me in anyway to have more than 8. plus if you have it, i have started a group on facebook to parallel my efforts here, and also to serve as sort of a written record of the people that have supported me and other people who join.
on a completely different note, i love my poopie-head, even though he does have a smelly face. did i say smelly, because i meant smiley :D <-- see, smiley face. i'm getting ever more excited as christmas get nearer. sure because i'll be getting a break from work and school, which i so desperately need. and of course, i'll be heading home to see mia familio (en Esperanto), but also i will be getting to see Mike again, yay! i don't know what we're going to spend new year's doing, but i'm sure it will be fun. perhaps we'll just spend it in St. Louis, since niether of us have experienced a new years there. oh who knows, maybe if i have enough money, we can actually go somewhere, or we might just stay with mia familio for the time. we'll see, whatever it is, one thing is for sure, i will have a camera of some sort this year, because i tire of never having pictures of things i've done, not so much pictures of me, but it would be nice to have pictures saying that i've actually done something that year.

this love has taken it's toll on me. she said good-bye too many times before.

so it's not too much longer until my next birthday, i guess i'll be spending it alone this year, due to finals and whatnot. sooner or later i will have the time off work to go home for christmas. i'm planning to have a birthday lunch for Miss Betsy at the dorms. hopefully lots of people show up, becuase i want her to feel that people really do appreciate her. as for my own birthday plans, i may try and get out to louisville the following weekend, but that all depends on whether or not i have some friends to go with. most of the people i know will be heading back home that friday. so i am sure that i will have at least one friend who will be in louisville that i can hang out with. i also miss mike, i mean i get to talk to him almost everyday, but it's not the same as being able to come home after class or work just to lounge on the couch and have him around. or if i was sleeping he would come along a wake me up for reasons unknown to anyone but him. he was always great to go out with, whenever there was the few times i actually didn't to be in the house. i can't wait until i can hang out with him more. maybe we'll have some time to do that with the holiday coming up. i know i have to go to my families for christmas, but afterwards i'll have free time until i have to be back at the dorms. so i'm looking forward to my holidays coming up. but we'll see how the new year's break goes after he is done visiting his family, and possibly comes to hang out with me or something, i dunno.

2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake, "can you help me unravel my latest mistake. i don't love him. winter just wasn't my season.

well, after an exhausting search -- i say exhausting, but i really was just tire to begin with -- i have come to the conclusion that purple tubesocks just simply do not exist. so i decided to look them up on the internet and lo and behold, there they were at a sport site. duh! tubesocks, i mean who else would wear them in this day and age. so my next option then is to go to some sort of sporting goods store and see if can actually just purchase them there. everything else by comparison should be cake. the store has the ears, paint (of the body/hair variety) as well as a costume that can be suitably made over into what i want to use it for with just a minor adjustment or two. now that i have found the most crucial piece in my costume scavanger hunt, well at least found a reasonable lead, i have to think about how i'm going to pull this all together. there would be some minor surgery that would nee to be made t o make the costume what i want to look like. only slight changes from what it already includes. but the majority of these feaures will require me to sew. i mean not that sewing is hard, it's just very, very difficult to do. plus i'm not that adept or comfortable around sharp pointy things. in fact, i have a note from my doctor telling me to avoid them whenever possible. so any thing that i'm going to have to alter is going take a lot of patience and time, neither of which i have ample amounts to spare, so i guess we'll see how that all turns out in the end i s'pose.
one midterm coming up next week. that's all i have is one, and i am extremely stressed over it. which i pretty odd for me because i always take tests with a grain of salt. but i just feel so blindsided by this one. normally, when i'm in a class the reason i don't give to fucks about an upcoming exam is because if i do the assignments and the readings or whatever the basis of the class is supposed to be on, and i attend classes i just do well on them. i can only blame this my " either i know it, or i don't theory", it's pretty self-explanatory. but this one, the teacher has done absolutely nothing to prepare us for an exam. or at least that is my opinion. every class up until last week has been a vast majority of just empty nonsensical ramblings not even pertaining to the subject. and just last week we started the book. he lectures are pointless, and we have midterm this coming thurs, on what? i have no earthly idea. he says its supposed to be over the book, which we just began discussing in class. what the hell? well i suppose if i fail miserably on it i can always withdraw. i'm usually not one to backdown from stuff, but i know i can't fight a fire with a moist towellet.
ummmm, i can't really think of anything else at the moment. still not a millionaire, still not an actor, still think that lifes unfair as i sit on my tractor.

that's the joint, that's the jam, turn that s#!t up, play it again.

ok, honestly and sincerely, i have been a fan of BEP since they were a trio consisting of just Will, Apl and Taboo. and while i think Fergie is a great addition to the group, in the first cd in which she appeared -- which is the third cd for the group as a whole -- she seemed to be just that, an addition. but the fourth cd, monkey business, makes it more evident that she is a part of the group, and not so much a supporting character or featured singer a la Justin Timberlake. but the black eyed peas remain true to the basic of what they have always tried to make, music that makes you wanna... the sentence could really be completed with plethora of different things for different people.
at any rate, happenings in my life. i just recently returned from my three hour tour, on which i was able to the Wallace and Gromit movie which i absolutely loved. and i also now have the most bizarre hankering for cheese, especially the Stinky Bishop.
Coco Lee has a new english cd, the second of hers to be released in english. however, it seems to still only be available in china, and quite possibly europe, but definitely no signs of a stateside release. this is similar to the original "crossover" cd release. for anyone who doesn't know, Coco Lee was born in china but raised in the states and so her first language is suprisingly english. and most of her influences are inspired by music from the states as well. so you don't often get the pop music so very sought after in that particular region, but what you do get is skillfully r&b drenched songs with a chinese influence, instead of the other way around. what great is that other artists have tried to follow suit in the maturing of musical styles like yuki hsu. not many of the male vocalists attempt this it seems, but that may also have to do with the fact that most of female artists followers are male. in fact, Coco Lee appears in this months esquire as one of the worlds most sexy women from the Taiwan voters.
this whole costume thing has gotten me in a pickle. just how much can i create of it? i think in the end, i'm not even sure i'll be able to do anything for halloween anyway. or maybe that i won't even want to. for future reference, i think i will definitely have to start planning my costumes out much further in advance so i can creatively have time to truely cosplay at the one time is perfectly ok to do so within los EE.UU.

what day is it, and in what month? this clock never seemed so alive.

not much new going on en el mundo de mio. next week is fall break which is odd, because at the same time this week is fall break. both UK and BCTC (formerly LCC) have opted to take fall break at different times. i guess BCTC is officially wean itself out from under the massive teet that is UK, but somehow this little step seems as childish to me as Bush's push for the use of the expression "freedom fries". other things they have done, changed their name to bluegrass community technical college, hence BCTC, as well as change all the course number abbreviations. mostly adding the letter J and the number 0 to the front of them.
i am supposed to go out st. louis way to visit mike for my week off from school, although i've run into some dilemmas. most of which involve me not wanting to put so many miles on the car that i'm using that is not my own, but in fact belongs to my mother. i'm not sure she would appreciate it all that much, especially if i racked up all those miles not coming to see her instead. so maybe what i'll do is come back a day earlier and stop at my mom's and spend it there before coming back to work, although, in all reality, i mean come on let's just be honest with ourselves, that's not likely to happen.
there are so many movies out and so many new video games yet unplayed that have been released in the recent months since school went back into session. i still don't own a copy of pump it up, or the new ddr extreme 2 for ps2, now with online capabilities. i know how sad that sounds, but i actually use them mostly for cardio workouts, cause they are good for that, mostly. i also do it so that i can pwn others at video game arcades. take that you noobs! but regardless as a result, i definitely need to get back into a second job. i'm currently looking into a business venture of sorts. it seems somewhat secure, reasonably risk-free and very inexpensive. so i'll attempt that when i return from my trip. if it doesn't work out, i'll be out 50 bucks. however, if it manages to be an effective methoud of money making, i'll be swimming in new video games and dvd in no time. plus i'll have plenty of money left over to go to spain for christmas.
oh yeah, i guess that's kind of news, the Navidad en Espana tour. i have a friend that is over there now, for the next year or so. so it's kind of a "going to cheer him up from being so far away from everybody" trip, and it's kind of a "i'm a selfish bastard and i really want to see madrid" trip. i'm guessing it's more of the latter. i've got a link his blog on here for anyone who is interested, that is depending on how good your spanish is. if nothing else, there is always babelfish, that works somewhat if not grammatically, at least word for word.

i've found a thrill to press my cheek too. a thrill that i have never, never known.

so i have finally received my first exam for the semester back, and it was a C. a high C mind you, but nevertheless, I got a friggin' C, and it was in Spanish. for those of us who do not know, i kind of plan to make that part of my major field of studies; if not linguistics or foreign languages. the worst part of the whole exam grade is that i was one point away from a B. one point! plus i really bombed on the whole vocabulary section. i fully intend to better on the exams to follow. i know i am not likely to get hundreds on all of them, but i need to get as close as i possibly can. i am not exactly sure what this may entail, but i will not finish this semester with lower than a B in that class. and if it comes down to it, and i am only one point from getting an A then i will argue it to the death until my grade is changed. I was really looking forward to another semester of good grades, and this C right at the beginning is really throwing me off. i have taken evening and online courses so that i would have plenty of time for work and school. i have taken care to rest properly and so far not miss any classes. so i am doing my part.

we're just ordinary people

ok big news, well sort of. i've lost my job at fazoli's. well in all truthfullness, i know exactly where the job is, and i'm sure that someone is doing it instead of me. so what i really mean is that i've been fired, i think. i am actually not quiet sure what the current status of my job, as far it concerns me working anymore. no one has formally told me anything, no "you are fired", not it would be great if you just stop coming in", not even a simple "we thinking about giving more free time, you would like that right?" so whether or not i've actually been fired will remain one of the unsolved mysteries of my life i guess. oh well no use bloggin' about it any longer.

it's aboot damn time the summer blockbusters are kicking in, for me at least. even though the ssummer is practically over, the september releases are the first group of movies i have really, really wanted to see since summer began. sure there was Batman Begins, which i saw and loved. and i saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which i did not love quite as much. but in reality, there has not been a single month where i wanted to see a new release every single friday. all in all, this has been another uneventful sequal to last years lackluster summer releases as well. but the fall seems to be jam packed with tons of great movies to be released. has the period for movie going shifted dramatically? somehow i doubt it, maybe the directors are just try to be a little more diverse in their release dates to lessen chance of competition.

also a little more subtle development, i've changed the amount of post that appear on the front page. the reason behind this, if there is any at all -- and there is -- is to allow me to put up multiple shorter posts on the front page, instead of me waiting until i have enough to write about to fill up a whole page. so yeah, new, but not so big, yet still important nonetheless.

oh you silly, stupid, pastime of mine. you were always good for a rhyme...

as promised, i am going to let everyone in on the my little week in -- well let us just say that hasn't been a little slice of heaven... cause it hasn't. about a week ago friday, i had to vacate the premises of my friend Lella's abode becuase at the same time she was moving into a new apartment as well. however, this temporarily meant that i had to occupy a space elsewhere. this elsewhere turned out to be the exact point where Georgetown Road and New Circle Road collide into what i now will affectionately refer to as the armpit of Lexington. first thing first, in the age old tradition of let the buyer beware, i should have been at least a little bit worried when i read the advertisement for a room eighty-eight dollars for an entire week. but even with my lower than low expectations, i think i could have never figured it to be as bad as it was. but the attendant, we'll just call her Krickette, cause that was her name, i mean holy crap Krickette? anyway, she was a very nice person despite the fact that she was named after a rather annoying insect, or the fact that she had someone arrested for being on the wrong side of the building, but i get ahead of myself -- if and when i choose to delve into that story alltogether. but back to her kindness, she allowed me to check in even though technically she had already closed the office for the day, and i was very appreciative. but when she went to show me the "room" perse. i was almost struck catatonic. but after a brief period of "it's either this or live in my truck", which i simply could not do because i have to make sure decisions are in Big Red's interest first, mine second. so i take the place, fork or the cash plus a twenty dollar deposit. now if nothing else has clued you in so far, aside from the eighty-eight dollar rent, the deposit was only twenty dollars! of course the place was very modern, with all of the ameneties you could want. wall to wall ceiling, at least for the most part. a shower that just screamed clean me. hell it was the perfect fixer upper, for those who do that kind of crap. then there's me. i like all of my walls to be without vermin, at least to the best of their ability. i like all my showers to not only have a reasonable amount of water pressure, but also to be a little less terrifying then thinking if i closed my eyes, at any moment some unknown creature could descend from on high and devour and or attack me. and when i flush my toilet i expect things to stay flushed, and not haunt me later in the day like the ghost of christmas past reminding me of my past indiscretions of the day. the morning and the evening and the first day. actually i did not spend a whole lot of time in the room whatsoever, in fact i pretty much only showed up there on my inbetween moments, which pretty much meant that if i was there i was sleeping. oddly enough, Big Red took it upon herself to take a whiz, give one as the case may be, on the mattress, mind you the mattress was also on the floor. so much like a kid who has spilled grape juice on the couch his mother forbid him to drink juice on, i simply flipped it over and pretended it had never happenned. tomorrow, we will find out if it really did or not. another strange occurance, whilst i was making the bed i knocked the light fixture off the ceiling. granted the ceiling was a mere few inches over my head, still i had no expectations that i could accomplish something of that nature. regardless, i took it upon myself to go get one for the three bucks it would cost to replace it, as yet another attempt to not endanger my precious. well i'm actually tired of complaining about this place, i mean i think i could easily fill another day with just typing about what i saw, but i think for the most part it would just end up be rambling at best.
so the problem was solved by finally getting a one bedroom lace of my own, well to share with Big Red, but she is more of a bed hog than anything else. on the whole it is plenty of room for the two of us, but individually the rooms are divided in a rather peculiar manner. not to mention the arrangement. the living room is bigger than the bedroom. and the bedroom resides between the kitchen and the living room. surely i could easily just put whatever room i wanted to be wherever i wanted it to exist. but then i do not think it would physically work with the plans i have for the actaul funiture and where i plan to place it. plus, it is also noteworthy to mention that there is also one closet for the whole apartment, and it is located in in the smaller middle room. therefore, bedroom it is. for the moment i have running water, which is technically free, the best kind of free, until this coming tuesday. however, on the downside, there is a lack of electricity, which is also free except without me actually benefitting from the service itself. in an odd double whammy, it also will not be in effect until tuesday. i wonder if only one person is working for both, and he is off until then. what is weird is that supposedly, the water company has the option to charge you an additional thirty dollars if you have service turned on over the weekend or after hours. but they completely chose to overlook the entire weekend and not make any money off a poor sucker like myself. but getting to the point, most activities will require some sort of electrical influence. even if it just something as simple as lighting. without which, most of my nights will be spent doing boring stuff like sleeping. blah, who wants to do that?

i've got soul but... i'm not a soldier

holy crap so much has happenned to me since i last decided to put dedo to keyboard. there is a sad part too, due the the simple fact that i have not had a decent nights sleep since like the fourteenth of august (when the dorms resumed operations, even of the minimalist sorts). so as a result, i have not been able to store any of the funny sad michievious or disappointing events that im sure have taken place over the past weeks but i just cannot seem to recall the exact details. without those details, there is no real reason for me to even tell a story, becuase it would only impair my ability to embelish the story and make as enjoyable to hear as it is to tell. that is right, i am doing it for all youse out there. i do, however, recall one story imparticular, but i will get to that in a moment or four.

what is a more important change, i am using some punctuation. i know, i know, it is not much, but all the same it is a vast improvement over the previous post. which i apologise for, i presumed that the blog would be posted just the same way that i would type it. and i never really bothered to double back and look at it until recently. really, that is not the way i had intended it to be or become for that matter. i had specifically placed spaces and italics where i thought appropriate only to see that it had all been mashed into one barely comprehensible run-on sentence. too anybody who actually bothers to read these, well mine at least, i am really really super-dee-duper sorry. i will not let it happen again.

ok, funny story time. so i was standing at the self-checkout thingum at one of our local wal-marts here, when i was accosted by someones grocery schrapnel. sound strange, let me explain, well at least, to what i can figure happenned. like i said, me self-checkout, you get the idea, i do not even know what i was purchasing, but i am fairly certain it was later in the evening, but that is just cause that is when in typically frequent the wal-mart. why have twenty-four hours if people are not going to use them right?! well just as i am prompted by the automated friendly voice to "select my method of payment", my spidey-sense starts tingling and i take a step back just as this bag of groceries comes crashing down on the terminal in front of me. and a gentleman to my immediate left storms out of the store shouting words with which i am sure he meant to hurt someone elses feelings. not mine of course, i was just a cob at the moment. so then like sam, i take a quantum leap to a few moments before the bag nearly beaned me and i recall that the man seemed upset and was flailing his arms about. for some reason, i had just passed this off as another employee telling an rather vivid and animated story. at this point, back in the present i start to eavesdrop as i am paying for and collecting my paid for (and i cannot stress that enough) merchandise -- whatever it was. from what i can tell, this is what went down in mart of walton. the man was trying to purchase items with some sort of card -- i believe it to be a wal-mart card as opposed to a real credit card which no one bothers to card for at any rate. apparently, whatever the card was, it did not belong to him, nor could he provide information that he had a right to use it in any way, shape, or form. what he did have, was a surly disposition. and rightly so, i mean he went through all that effort to committ some sort of fraud, only to be told no. who the hell do they think they think they are to deny him like that. damn you wal-mart and your everlast pursuit to crack down on fraud, while doing absolutely nothing about the ninety year old "security gaurd" posted at the front doors who has failed every single time to stop people from stealing things in the more obvious manner. by simply shoplifting it, and continuing to walk, even though the door clearly states they should return and claim their free 2-liter of soda for being wrongfully accused.

i have another great story, or i am fungeniering it to become so. but i may have to actually wait until that one has run its course before i start to find the humor in it. until then... anticipation shall be your constant companion.

it takes some fears to make you trust, it takes those tears to make you rust, it takes the dust to have it polished

ah how refreshing it is to be working at the dorms again i have not updated my blog in a great moment or two and since school has no where near officially started i am pretty much just sitting here with eight hours worth of time on my tiny little fragile hands but worry not i wont actually spend the entire eight hours typing ya know cause im lazy and stuff

lets see sisters birthday came and went as soon as i have a way to do so i will upload a picture or two from that exciting hullabaloo speaking of which based if i said today was my brothers birthday as well i would be technically correct the best kind of correct yeah this goes on until december everyone in my immidiate family claims a month for their birthday from july til december the last six months of the year of course somehow i manage to get decmeber with the lack of two sets of gifts and all but ill save that for another time as i am sure i will be birching about it in december like i often do except for that one time that i actually forgot about my birthday which was also kind of akward

other exciting news about the magical fourtenth of august one of my bestestes buddies in the whole world is returning for a brief stay here in lexington i may take one opportunity to go hang out with him on his first day back but there are many mitigating circumstances preventing from doing so first apparently he is driving back as a direct result of driving to Vermont so i am sure that he will be quite likely the tuckered little traveler as well as the fact that tomorrow is sunday and there is nothing but nothing going on during the hours of sunday am to sunday pm in lexington unless you were careful enough to plan at least twenty four hours in advance got permission from the mayor put you herbies out on the curb after 7 pm and called before you started planting tulips in your yard as to avoid knocking out your cable so theres that as well as the dorm thing i will of course need to be here for the remainder of early week before i actually need to be here fulltime every night and last but not least ya know im lazy and stuff but i think he will be around for at least most of the week at which point i am sure i can scam off some time at some point to go and booze it up for a moment or two

whats the deal with airline peanuts and while im on the subject why is it so dan hard to find an place to live in ive recently shacked up with friend of mine to hold me over worst case scenario i have to move in with like 6 roommates and pretend to the best of my ability that we are not a real world lexington cast ooh ooh except it would be more like road rules and im the new guy that everyone is more likely to vote out of the house even i do really well on all the challenges and the obvious fugg up is a loser but everyone feels sympathetic towards them plus they have been there longer and oh yeah withou all the challenges i suppose i guess its different in that way too

oh in case there has been a lack of noticement all of the titles of my journal entries are from a song of some sort and i think i will start sharing a link to the artist homepage if they should have one in that there link box i mean wasnt planning on doing anything with it up to this point so that is pretty much the best i could come up with on such short notice

ok funny story about new north i have to applaude UK on their innovative design in comparison to their other dorms, this time they went with the shared bathroom-esque dormroom which is great had they not forgot one subtle yet very vital thing there are no public restrooms here yes thats right i am sitting at night desk and i litterally dont even have a pot to piss in one can only wonder how they managed to work that one out i am being told that this small aclove behind the desk that is seemningly useless at the moment and only seems to transport you from one side of the desk to the other via the scenic route i can start a campaign or a fundraiser put up flyers and raise some awareness about how ill be here for 8 hours a night at least 4 days of the week doing the potty dance to the best of my semi-black abilities of course if there is a fundraiser involved im sure i will end up just embezling most of the profits needy orphans indeed

i think thats all i can squeeze out of my meeger brain at the moment puppy's is still poopy anime is still homoerotic and well ya know im lazy and stuff

everyone's a little bit racist sometimes. doesn't mean we go around comitting hate crimes.

ok i saw what had to be the funniest and or tragic thing i have ever seen in my life im sure we have all seen at least one blind person in our lives shuffling down the street with their cane tapping it to and fro so that they dont accidently step of the curb and fall out into oncoming traffic or whatever the specific reason they use it for exactly but it if the main objective was to prevent the visually challenged person from running into to things and other people then it was something that this guy had no knowledge of i first saw him meandering up the street towards me and i moved as far to the side of the sidewalk as possible because he seemed to have no earthly control of his guide stick but just before he would have run tripped me with it he stuck out his arm and began side stepping as if he was looking for something however at the time he was standing in the drivethru of a bank which is apparently where he had intended to go well inside the bank at any rate at some point some thoughtful random lady decided to ask him if he was trying to get to the bank and then kindly guided him to the door

i continued on my way to the bus stop as it where and not really concerned with another persons well being whatsoever but while i was waiting on the driver to actually show up and unlock his bus so that everyone could get on the same blind guy comes back around the corner just a tapping that stick all the way now mind you im not one to make fun of the misfortune of others but i am one to point things out plus there are a lot of what i would like to call mildly retarded people who use the lextran system so while the reerees where busy molesting the busses side mirror trust me there were like 6 of them and they just found it utterly amusing here comes the blind guy and wham runs right in to one of the people groping the bus then he feels feels his way around the person he ran into he starts walking full speed again and slams right into a column i mean i dont know how long this guy had been blind but he was terrible at it after running into two more columns and some homeless guy eventually one of the bus drivers lent him a helping hand

after that the rest of the day just paled in comparison i went to work i came home let the dog go about her business and went to bed watching the phantom of the opera the movie adaptation not the actually play i suppose i could have gone out but you know im lazy so i didnt i am also getting slightly irked by my inability to sleep on nights when i dont have to sit night desk at the dorms i mean sure it starts out ok but then i wake up at like 5 and i cant sleep anymore however when i do actually have to get up and go to the dorms i have the hardest time either getting up or even staying awake that doesnt even make the least bit of sense i mean i could understand if it was one or the other because that could easily be explained by my body becoming accustomed to some sort of schedule but the case being that both are happening really has no bearing in the sensical world

my sisters birthday is fast approaching and i have yet to get her a gift but i will before the week is out i also vow that from this day forth i will never spend money on anything that will guarentee to make me money ever again its a long story and maybe some day i waste the entry to explain it but for now lets just say guarentees are full of shit im done some money and up one lesson learned oh well at least i walked away with something on a final note i am still roommate and or apartmentless and it is really not looking good thus far im really tired of this whole having things not work out the way i planned them or not work out until the last minute causing me loads of uneeded stress and tension can i just have one carefree fuggin day in my life is that too much to ask although i suppose it would result in me have some sort of cardiac arrest and cuase more problems when i have to pay for the medical care that it required

don't hate me, don't regret me, don't ever forget me. where ever you go, what ever you do, don't say i never loved you.

yesterday was a day of doing something i shouldnt have namely staying up long after i was supposed to be in bed after being up all night sitting nightdesk at the dorms but i am pretty sure that was just a one time thing i dont really feel like losing sleep just so i can chat on the internet and watch new episodes of the real world even if it is in austin and they did fuck up some guys face in the first week there hehe take that celebrity facimile

once again with intentions of seeing the fantastic four despite its lame reviews but my attempts were again thrawted by my lack of an ability to stay awake later than 6 pm its like im a 65 year old already however i did manage to finish a book and review some japanese for the coming semester i did suprisingly well actually on the quiz they provided for the book i had i think i would be able to be a great tutor in the coming semester im still debating on whether or not to start my third language this year or next but im thinking that next year would be more flexible as far as time constraints are concerned

im also seriuosly considering pledging even though im not really sure how or what exactly that entails in fact i dont think i want to do it at all i still have some reseverations about have some punk telling me what to do like im actually listening so i think i could try out but that i would definitely fail not because i wouldnt be good at being a drunken frat boy or because the idea almost makes me kind of vomit to be honest with you i think that i am just to certifiably defiant

there are some good and bad concerns about the pending semester ive decided to improve my gpa by retaking some classes that i didnt do so well in my previous years lets just say my freshman year was a little more than a letdown for me so i have couple of classes i would like to retake im not a perfectionist i just really cant stand knowing that i did so poorly in throw away classes the positive side to this i may get to see some of my old friends from lcc or whatever they have changed their name to now and perhaps get some of the issues fixed that are terribly wrong with my transcript like why is it that i have over 70 credit hours and im still a freshman can anybody explain that to me another reason is im one class shy of graduating from lcc officially and not just in my head another benefit sorta is that i really really really really want to tranfer schools and get the hell out of dodge or kentucky as the case may be finishing up at lcc would put me at that transition point where i would be an undergraduate transfer student but with my associates both of them and move somewhere else and finish up my major

but first things first baby steps i need to get my arse in a new apartment finish paying off last semesters tuition i'm down to 1500 now mayhaps my mom can help me there and then i can get all the rest of my duckies in a row hopefully all of my tuition assistance goes through this year and i no longer have to deal with problem in the future but if this year has taught me nothing else thus far it has shown unto me that i can put little trust in others

i'm walking to the something blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. i'm feeling really blah blah, i want to blah blah blah

so i went to check on my fafsa application which you apparently dont actually have to complete until the school year is over im not sure i understand the concept myself but that is what is listed on the official website but that is an entry for another time this entry has to deal with the fact that apparently they have still not bother to finish processing my form out of morbid curiousity i decided to try and figure out why turns out that they did not have my EFC earned family credit or some crap like that i figure this is due to some error i made and i checked over my paper work and it showed nothing so i hit the check button and bam! out the blue it tells me about these errors that it never detected before for some odd reason or another what is the deal with that its a good thing i have plenty of time to make corrections to the form even if i am misunderstanding the posted dates i would at least have until september to make corrections hopefully there shall be no more errors or if there are mayhaps they could take the fuggin time to send out an email for chrissakes fingers crossed on me getting that even though so far it says i'm fully elligible i have a negative that since things usually fail to work out my favor that this will just add to the list of misleading certainties

i have decided to start reacqaunting myself with the many many japanese kanji that i have "learned" over the course of the past two years and four semesters i am definitely thinking about using some of my ill gotten spare time to tutoring some of the first year students but i will have to wait and see how much if any spare time that actually consists of on a side note i have been going through my kanji flashcards and i noticed that several are missing and it's going to be a terrible pain trying to recover them all again since i had to make them on a computer and print them at home and my printer has bitten the proverbial dust and just shoots paper at me at his speeds now so i had to take a bat to it when that didnt fix the problem i decided that i need to invest in a new printer but i may not actually be able to afford that for quite a long time i have to consider money for moving food blah blah blah blah the list goes on and on

yesterday i went with some friends of mine to the mall not to shop im not about that they just happen to choose that locale as a meeting point before we headed over to the stadium mind you that particular arcade has relocated and is now several shades of crappy essentially we went to play DDR PUI and ITG only one of which was there and it was ITG the one i am the least familiar with needless to say we could not get the girls to play with us because for some odd reason people fear dance sim games which are intended to be fun but i dunno i guess i just wasnt feeling up to playing that day or something cause i just kept doing terrible sure i could have blamed the pads or the fact that i couldnt track the arrows nonetheless i looked T total terrible

i finally finished they Magic Knight Rayearth series and i am reminded why i hated the ending the first time i watched the series somehow i managed to forget the exact details of the finale but still retained the general idea and i was still peeved when i saw it again and for some reason the ending seemed to wrap quickly in like the last three episodes where as the rest of the series kind of jovially just hopped around and introduced characters long enough to have their existance made aware of without actually doing anything with that character so in the final episodes there was a total lack of support characters that we spent the entire series underdeveloping ah well i suppose all cant be answered in the scant ten hours of time that the episodes run

tearing down windows and doors, and i could not find eyes like yours

what is about some people that make them much more well not really attractive but more so alluring than other people there is this fictional person whos name i shall not reveal cause he is fictional and all but many people seem to be very very very obsessed over this fella fyi it is sooooo not me i would never talk about myself as if i were not myself as it would irk me to no end and i would not even be able to finish this post anywho for now lets just call this guy Patt Morter so anyway i have several a friend who for really real just blather on all the time about this Patt guy who mind you doesnt exist the thing is several of these friends dont even bother to ask him out or talk to him or whatever but they love to share information with those around about him and being the wealth of useless information or at least useless to me i just listen and i feel knew too much about this person i had never met so of course then it becomes my duty hehe dooty to find out who this person is so i do and then i bother to actually talk to him and he seems like a nice guy but that first time i spoke with him and every subsequent time i've spoken with him as been at his job well just say he is a server at a place called Tia's its very hard to have any kind of relevant conversation with a person when other people are trying to shout drink orders at them so i did the most obscure thing i have never done if he was a real life person i would say that i asked him out but not in any like a real date just to chill and chat for chrissakes he thinks my name is Chris? apparently that is what i look like a chris *sigh* i seriously have to fix that situation so that is why i asked this semi intriguing person on a hopefully meaningless encounter at some probably overpopulated locale and i gave him my phone number to make it seem like there was no obligation to buy lol so anyway if he does call i think he would end being a cool friend to have about since most of mis companeros are moving on to bigger things without me

yesterday fourth of july style my family randomly calls me from louisville to announce casually that they are on their way to my house this is all very strange to me becuase not even 24 hours before that i had spoken with them and i was sure we discussed how i would be working for the holiday nonetheless they were already on their way and i was already awake for the day so i straightened up the pad a bit which was exceedingly difficult because my puppy took it upon herself to pee several times in the house that morning i love her but i swear she is an utter idiot so my family shows up and they are all hungry and stuff so we head over to grab something to eat and of course my job calls me im guessing they want me to come in early but suprise they are calling to inform me that they have not made enough money that day to pay me to come in so i can stay home instead for real thats how it works there they dont make enough money that day they start sending people home so now i can spend the day with mi familia and talk about stuff and see the fireworks and what not i gotta say i had a blast i have not had so much fun with my family in a very long time although and this may sound weird to everyone not in my family everytime we get together someone always has a poop story to tell actually im not exactly sure what thats about myself but rest assured there is alway at least one so this is how the night went we went to the movies but fearing we would miss the fireworks and unable to decide what to see we got ice cream instead then i grabbed my older sybling and went to a friends house we sucked back a few beers called my mom and told her we would meet her downtown on the bridge so we find her and then decide that we want to be up as close as possible so we say so long and jump over a railing scramble down a hill and shove our way up to the front where we then proceed to make total asses of ourselves lol a good time was had by all when the five minutes of fireworks were over we headed over to wildcat liquour bought a buttload of booze headed back to my house and started sippin on some sizzauce! then we hit downtown around one am thinking that 141 would be open but oddly enough it was closed as closed could be instead we shambled yes thats right shambled over to Tia's i chatted for a sec with Patt and since we were like the only people there we tore up the karaoke machine all night we didnt even notice one of the mics wasnt one halfway through the song and i dont think we really cared we concluded the night by being ignored at huddle house so we staged a walkout and went to pita pit instead then we continued back to my house and sat outside for a bit until we were too tired to keep talking exceedingly loud on the front porch and we all wen to bed i tell you what if this is what fun i have to look forward to on the 19th when my sisters birthday rolls around itll be her twentyfirst btw i simply can not wait

try me on, take me home, the tags are on, it's still a loan. warranty is in the sack, and you can always take me back.

my mom called me (apparently several times) yesterday in quite a hyterical manner apparently me not answering the phone means im lying in a ditch somewhere do moms ever grow out of that phase anywho it was essentially in relation to the fourth of july technically today but i called her yesterday an left a message with my sister to tell her that i would be working all day on the fourth and would not even be able to see the fireworks later that night because im scheduled to close but being the pothead that she is my sister didn't bother to tell my mother anything so when she couldnt get ahold of me i guess she panicked bah when will i get to be the blight on society and still manage to get away with everything like my syblings do

when did it start to take so long to watch one season of an animated tv show ive been watching the series magic knight rayearth for what seems like forever now not that i havent ever seen it before but it just seems to be dragging itself out was the series always this long could i have simply been jaded about its greatness simply becuase it was one of the first anime shows i really enjoyed... nah then again i think i have learned a thing or two from thundercats after i had gotten older when the fuck did have a new thundera let alone move back to it and who exactly had sex with snarf so he could have a little clone running around questions abound but answers are few and far between

my lazy streak is still in high gear i dont i would be so slothful all the time were it not for me working both during the daytime and at night as well the sad part is at the end of every month i generally have nothing to show for it all my money goes towards bills and groceries ever few months i have enough money left over to buy a new cd or occasionally a video game which i never have time to play regardless when did the point of working really hard become barely surviving from month to month what every happenned to rewards for hard work and ethics since when is it better to only be able to get money by swindling it out of people or stealing or scamming for it has the whole world gone topsy turvy

oh yeah happy independence day

oh chariot your golden waves are walking down upon this face

well my final deadline for saving my chance to graduate this year is fast approaching and sadly enough its not looking too good thus far i really dont think i will be able to graduate this semester or (divide by 3 multiply by the current annual interest rate carry the one...) probably ever its just something that i spent a lot of time trying to have it taken care of but has actually run itself amuck anyway much

(from my friends blog, all rights reserved)
Este libro tiene vocabulario anotado en la pie de la página. ¿Estoy en el programa graduado?
(This book has annotated vocabulary at the bottom of the page (lit. foot of the page). Am I in a graduate progam?) lol
ok that's a loose translation cause my spanish only so so but you get the idea

yesterday all in all was just boring. of course i slept through most of it admittedly i sleep through most days if i plan on working later i cant help it night shifts are tough if i do get into school this coming semester im taking all night classes or at least nothing before two im not one for getting up before that time whats the big deal about being up before noon anyway you get up at two and everybody is done eating lunch already and the lines are really short plus what has a sunrise ever done for me that i have to come see it in the morning damnn sunrises should learn to come up a decent hour in the first place now sunset theres a setting that knows something about timing

dont get lost in heaven, they've got bars on the gate.

soo yesterday i met a cool person who "works" at the world famous two keys. and meeting her enlightened me to a lot of things about two keys. for instance, they apparently serve food there. so much so, that they actually have a cook, but their servers don't make any money because much like myself nobody is aware of this fact. also, crystal drinks a lot, i mean A LOT. but she is also a lovable drinker which is fun. also, i do not know where it went to, but apparently the trough style urinal is no longer in the bathroom, but they still could do with a divider between the toilet and the urinal they have there now. of course when i really have to go ill whip it out in front of anybody, pee-shyness be damned!

an introduction brief

i have a very special friend that has a blog, and reading his inspired me to try one as well. he is very far away making the world a better place for those different from himself and missing him makes being able to read his blogs a comfort to know that he is still about somewhere. ok title comes from an inside joke, the website just happend to be spit but with two p's and two t's. and i am not a very exciting person so ill see how it turns out from here on in. well i guess that is brief enough.
