So I got to thinking today about this past year and the events that happened. This has been one interesting year to say the least, and I loved every minute of it. It was definitely my growing year for sure.
Parents moved to Texas, made a ton of new friends, made a good amount of cash, saw a different side of life, fell in love, got an apartment w/ my friends, brought my GPA up, realized what I wanted in life, and so much more.
This was probably one of my favorite years so far and I couldnt be happier that things happened the way they did.
Lets make this next year even better!

Blah.
Well. Break was going fantastically for the past couple days, all to come crashing down just as fast.
The good news is I'm goin to Florida for spring break.. haha.
Don't worry about it.
Work sucks. People are so stingy on their money around the holidays, so tips blow.
Hoping New Years will be fun, a good getaway from this place.
Christmas was good, got a ton of new clothes and some essentials that I needed.
I dont know, I'm just really blah today.

Finals are OVER!
Well this set of finals were about as easy as high school tests. Hopefully I did well on my IAH to at least have a 3.5 in the class. I know I have a 4.0 in Bio Lab and 3.5 in CSE. If I did well on my ISP exam then I have a 4.0, which the test was extremely easy to me. Then Econ was a little confusing at times, but hopefully I still 4.0 the class. That should make my parents happy, and bring up my GPA a shit ton. Thank god.
Now I get to sit on my ass all day, with absolutly NOTHING to do but get drunk with Kristen and go shopping for xmas presents, and sell back my $180 worth of books just to get MAYBE 50 back at the most. god I love college.
Snowboarding on Friday, first time in 2 years.. should be nice and sore for the plane ride on Saturday, that should be fun.
Work starts on Sunday. Yay for getting a paycheck once again! Too bad I dont know anyone who works there anymore.. oh well. Good time to make some new friends that will hopefully accompany me at the bar.

the final stretch.
Not updating this seems to come easy to me.
Went to Chicagoland this weekend to see the KMK show. Freezingly good time. FINALLY went to Millennium Park, got to see Brandon for a few minutes, hung out, it was a nice stress-free trip before finals. KMK show was pretty good, not as good at the Detroit ones, but oh well. It was fun seeing them in another city. Pretty freakin sore and bruised from all the moshing craziness. There's just something about those kinds of concerts, the high energy crowd and the high energy show, it just makes you feel so alive after.. and it lasts for days. Like you feel like your on cloud 9 for the rest of the week, nothing could rip you down from there. I should start going to concerts like that more often before finals.. helps you get thru the study week in a lot better mood.
Finals next week, done on Tuesday. Then just kickin back and gettin drunk the rest of the week. Should be a grand old time. Snowboarding that Friday, then leave for Texas on Saturday... can it come any slower?..

fuck michigan weather.
Didn't realize it's been that long. Woops!
Turkey Day vaca was ok. Good to see the family, and only Alvin because some people are too good for me now. Oh well. Got my job back for the winter. I'm excited to deal with some bitchy customers again.
Too much food all week... but then again, can there ever be too much food? A huge bbq the day before with slow-oak-cooked brisket, chicken, and sausage; then a huge thanksgiving meal on thanksgiving. Tons of leftovers for the week. Wish I brought home some turkey and whatnots to make hot turkey sandwiches the whole week. Damn living in MI.
Played tons of paintball, like 10 games or so, only got shot 3 times with one small bruise in the ribs. I rock. Everyone was jealous of my insane skill. haha. Needless to say, everyone wants me on their team.
Got to see all the horses and bulls and other random animals. Some guy brought over 2 mini Zeboe's, so we get to watch them as well. Ridiculous. It's turning into a fricken zoo.
Weather sucked. 80 for one day, then dropped to 40 for the rest of the week. Some vacation. Hopefully chrismas vaca will be better. Actually, I know it will.
2 more weeks of class, then 2 days of finals, then I'm done. Yay for the end of the semester.

blackout.
This weekend was a mess. I was a mess. Haha.
Thursday was a late night, drinking w/ the roommates and others, getting wild, the usual. Had the security called on us twice. Successful night.
Friday went back to Troy for the McPhail benefit. Sad times, happy times. Got to see a ton of neighbors that I havent seen in quite some time. Good times. Studied the rest of the night, since I knew I wouldnt be able to the rest of the weekend.
U of M Game time:
Saturday woke up at 730, was drunk by 930, and blackout by 1130. Parents, Kat, and MJ came up for the game. Tailgated with Nick most of the day, which I dont seem to remember much about. Haha. Apparently it was a good time tho. The game was good, we gave them a run for their money for sure. Lost, oh well. What else is new.
Went to Mongo w/ the rents still wasted. Good times. Came back, randomly saw Leighann and Michalek at Schmittys. Hung out w/ Kat, Holly and MJ and all them the rest of the night. Passed out early.
Sunday - did absolutly nothing. Studied, sort of. Thats about it.
2 weeks till Thanksgiving. It is coming so slow, mainly cuz I'm counting down the days. Paintball, good food, bar, friends, family... what more does one need?

stories
I love hearing personal stories. Not only do they entertain, but you get a chance to really learn about the person who is telling them. You learn about their own life's experiences and the diffferent things they've done and places they've seen.
However, whenever it's my turn to tell one, I can never think up any crazy or exciting things that have happened in my life that could ever compare to the stories I've heard. I know I've done some crazy things, but nothing compares to the crazy experiences other people have had. I guess it kinda frustrates me, because then I start thinking that my life hasn't really been all that exciting because I have very few stories to tell. But I know thats not true. Most of my stories are audience-specific, you have to be there to get the full effect.
I guess the key about stories is having experiences that are somewhat similar to the rest of your audience. Then they'll appreciate it more.
Just thought I'd update whats been on my mind lately. I'll do a regular update later.

:-)
About a month from today I'll be back home in warm sunny Texas, enjoying a nice feast of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, and everything else you could imagine. I'm quite excited. Not to mention, I get to see a shit ton of family and friends again. Yayyy! BAR! As I was standing in line at Meijer, I was looking at Betty Crocker's magazine on Thanksgiving meals, drooling over all the deliciousness she had in there. I'm pretty sure you would have had to put a CAUTION: WET FLOOR sign where I was standing... ha.
Anyhoot. School is going amazingly well. I 4.0-ed another test in ISP on Wednesday; I hopefully turned in a 3.5 or above paper in IAH today; Econ is still a 4.0; I'm all caught up in CSE and have a 2.0 so far; and all the papers in ISB Lab I just got back were better than normal grades. Now I just have to turn in a 3.5 or above paper in ISB Lab to get my grade up to atleast a 3.5 and I'll be golden. W00t W00t!
I dont know, things are just going smoothly right now. I guess I'll take advantage of it while its here, because it will probably be gone before I know it soon.

shitshow.
Shitshow: noun. Definition: Ridiculousness. Keg stands, beer pong, soulja boy, complaining neighbors, drunken hook-ups, loud music, dancing, stumbling, and blackouts all rolled into one.
Example: our party last night.
Oh the hilarious stories I could tell. Great party, ridiculous times.
Definitely a homecoming to remember. Or not. Either way.
If this was a preview of Becka's birthday in a couple weeks, then hells yes!

fatty's gotta eat
Sooo who wants to drop out and go to the School of Culinary Arts with me? Anyone? anyone?
Cooking for myself over these past couple months has been so relaxing and quite healthy. I love how I can just create whatever I want, how I want it. And I love how fast paced it can be at times, when you have many things going at once. If only I had an unlimited amount of cash, I would raid Meijer getting the best ingredients to make the most amazing meals. But I make due with what I have here and my budget. My favorite dish so far: Whole wheat pasta with grilled chicken and broccoli, topped with olive oil, parmesan cheese, and Italian herbs and spices all cooked in a skillet. Amazingly good, and good for you. I'm thinking on making chicken parmesan soon, super excited about that. But most dinners I just grill some chicken, add a lemon herb spice to it, and heat up some broccoli or green beans, a baked potato or mac and cheese, and a salad. Quick and easy.
Diet is still going strong. Buying things with whole wheat and whole grains, lots of protein and fiber, less calories. Drinking tons of water and eating tons of sunflower seeds to keep me full. I've maintained what weight I lost during summer, so thats good. Once lax starts practicing 5 days a week, I'll be a beast. I cant wait. Everyday ab workouts coming soon!
I want to make a silk chocolate pie... mmmm....

Weekend recap.
What a weekend. Rooommates were gone, had the whole apartment to myself. Relaxing.
Friday went over to Dubose and Higgy's house, played kickball and had a keg race... haha. We should do that stuff more often. Burn off what you are drinking by playing kickball, a Win-Win situation. Needless to say I was pretty trashed by 8pm, blackout by 9. Got home, smoked w/ Higs, dont really remember much after that; all I know was that I probably passed out by 11, and I ate... a lot. Yay for the first major blackout of the year! haha
Saturday was a chill day. Watched football, studied for Econ, thats about it. Today's gonna be very similar.
Blah. I really have to get a lot more strict w/ my diet. Ive been straying away from it a little bit, not good. Time to go shopping again!
That is all. Good day.

A Self Realization.
"As you grow older you'll realize that you are almost exactly like your parents, as much as you would like to deny it."
I've come to the stunning realization that this is true. I find myself doing the same things that my parents do, having the same expectations of people that I live with as my parents did with me, having the same type of thoughts they would have, and thinking/saying the same things that my parents have said to me to my friends.
It's was a little weird at first. I'd catch myself doing it, then stop and try to think of something completely different so I wouldnt be acting like them. But now I just let it happen and laugh to myself, mosly in utter shock that people are right about that quote. I find myself being more and more like my dad than my mom, which used to bother me since he's so anal about things. But now I realize that he's only like that because he wants things to be done very well the first time, as an ex-Marine would. Things were done in a certain way and if it wasnt done in that way, we would have to re-do it until it was. I have to say his philosophy has grown on me quite a bit this year, and it couldn't have come at a better time.

For example, I'd see my roommates sitting inside on a beautiful day, and I'd think to myself, "Turn that damn tv off and go outside and enjoy this day." A line that I always get from my parents.

Cranky Days.
I've been very tuned out from the world lately.. lost in my own thoughts, not knowing what to make of them. It's like I wake up feeling cranky, and thats how my mood is throughout the day. It sucks. I know why I feel this way, but I cant help it.. and I know it shouldnt affect me, but it does. I feel like I have schizophrenia at times, arguing with myself saying this is good and then I'll be happy for a few minutes, then the other side of me says the opposite and I'm back to being cranky again.
Christ on a bike, I have problems.
Not to mention CSE is kicking my ass, which does not make me feel any less stressed out. At least I'm 4.0ing ISP... woo. I'm so done with school.
I need a vacation.

And we like to drink our beer from a Mason jar...
Song of the moment:
Toby Keith - I Love This Bar
"And we like to drink our beer from a Mason jar.
Mmmm, I love this bar.
It's my kind of place.."
Ive been in a very country mood lately, not really sure why. Maybe I'm finally starting to come around...

I'm a phantom
I never have any time to update anymore now that school and lax are in full swing.
Exams are starting, endless studying, too much reading to do. Blah. This is the reason why I hate this place.
Lax is starting up, lots of new rookies, good ones at that. Kinda worried.. haha. Toronto went well.. won 4 and tied 1. So I guess we can settle for undefeated this year. I'm pumped.. gonna be much better this year. I cant wait for the spring.
Anyhoot, no football game this weekend.. what am I to do?! Be productive I guess. Catch up with my life. Sounds like a plan.

9/11
It's kinda hard to believe 9/11/01 was 6 years ago.
I was in 8th grade science class w/ Mr. Shoquist. He didnt have the TV on cuz we were doing a lab and didnt want us to see what was happening I guess. I remember we went into a code yellow, which meant close and lock the doors because there was a national threat going on. They made it seem like there were terrorists in the building, but being as young as I was, had no idea what a terrorist was, or what was actually going on. After around 2 hours sitting in second hour science, we got to unlock the doors, and go to 3rd hour. Honors english with Facciola. She had the TV on CNN and they were replaying the attack. I didnt understand what had just happened, or if it was real or not. Thats pretty much how everyone felt in the room. The clips just kept playing on CNN, but no one really understood. The rest of the day was a blur that I dont remember, except when I got home. I finally really got what happened when I got home to find my mom sitting infront of the TV, watching CNN, and she explained to me every detail. Tho it didnt really impact me the same way then as it has now, finally fully understanding it all.
On a completely different note, have you ever had the urge to just go out there and take a good fall, like you did when you were little? I mean like skateboarding and then eating it on the pavement? I had that sudden urge today, so I packed up my skateboard and drove to the skatepark, only to find it completely packed. Needless to say, I turned around and came home. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow or Thursday morning. This needs to happen tho, as sick as that sounds. I'm on a mission.

overrated!
What a weekend.
As always, it started on Thursday night. Partied w/ the 302 guys and a keg. Good times as always. Last year I was wondering where all the hot boys were on campus... well I finally found them--> Eden Roc. Needless to say, I love our complex. Haha.
Friday night was very similar to Thursday, except we stayed out a lot later and there were many more hot guys in 302. Got 2 hours of sleep, then started early for tailgating on Saturday. MSU football, very different than last years team, meaning we rock this year. 2-0. A team that doesnt rock this year is U of M. HAHAHA! sorry, I had to. I mean, losing to Appalachain State was one thing, then they had to top it off by getting their ass kicked by Oregon. Just the icing on the cake. I cant wait til we play them... if they keep this up, we're gonna KILL them! Woooo!
Anyhoot, the drunken state ended there. We had a movie night cuz we all felt like crap and needed sleep. The party was over for the weekend.
Today wis cleaning and homework day. Feels great having the apartment to yourself all day long, and on such a beautiful day like this one. It's been peaceful. I have yet to get quality work done tho. I guess thats just how it goes.
As always, it started on Thursday night. Partied w/ the 302 guys and a keg. Good times as always. Last year I was wondering where all the hot boys were on campus... well I finally found them--> Eden Roc. Needless to say, I love our complex. Haha.
Friday night was very similar to Thursday, except we stayed out a lot later and there were many more hot guys in 302. Got 2 hours of sleep, then started early for tailgating on Saturday. MSU football, very different than last years team, meaning we rock this year. 2-0. A team that doesnt rock this year is U of M. HAHAHA! sorry, I had to.

The Asiatic Lily
Asiatic Lillies. Easily the most beautiful flower on Earth. The colors are just so vibrant and amazing. Hands down my favorite flower ever. Roses are always nice, but nothing says "I Love You" more to me than getting Asiatic Lillies that look like these. So pretty.

Finally been welcomed back.
First week of class is finally done, and man was it long.
Getting back into the swing of things was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I was already reading and doing homework the first day of class.. :-( I figure I should actually read the material when assigned instead of trying to wing it, since it didnt seem to work for me last year. 4.0? Lets hope so. Ha that rhymed. "And this is a chair. And that is a lamp..."
Had a nice Thirsty Thursday last night to kick off the year. Power went out all over E.L., except for campus of course. So needless to say, we had a great candle lit party in Cedar Village. Made ocean and finally got trashed. It was a shitshow - one to remember... orrrr not...?
152 more days til summer... not that I'm counting or anything...

MSU
I'm still alive, I swear...
The drive here sucked. It seemed so much longer driving to MSU than it did Texas, maybe cuz I didnt want to leave Texas...? Perhaps. Stopped in Memphis, too bad we didnt see Elvis.
I'm all moved in, didnt have that much stuff anyway (yay for not living in the dorms!). But anyway, my apartment is lookin good. We have to decorate more, then it will be perfect. Neighbors are awesome, cant wait to party with them more this year. The street flooded yesterday, so they decided to take a inflatable pool and canoe down River Street (what a name, now we know why its like that.. haha) Also had a slip and slide going on. Good times
DMB was once again amazing. I dont think you can go wrong at a Dave concert, even if it gets delayed because of a huge thunderstorm. Crush was a favorite by far, Everyday never fails to amaze me, Jimi Thing is always a nice treat. Great new songs coming, I cant wait for the album!
Welcome Week is going well. Lots of random parties, I have yet to get black out tho, perhaps tonite? haha. yay!
I miss the bar! :-( It was so easy and convenient. Go there and get beer, shots, not have to find people to buy for you. Blahh.. Cant wait til Thanksgiving!

"I hate goodbye's!"
Damn. I thoght saying goodbye would have been a lot easier than this...
It just sucks knowing I'll never see them again in my life. It just doesnt seem real. I guess is just because I'm still here and knowing they're just a couple miles away, makes me want to go out with them after work like usual. Butttt parents wont let me.
I just need to get out of here and get back to MI a.s.a.p. to be with my friends who I havent seen in for-fucking-ever, so I can stop thinking about the ones I'm leaving. Hopefully that will help a little...
I like this:
Laugh when you can,
Apologize when you should,
And let go of what you can't change,
Love deeply and forgive quickly,
Take chances, give everything and have no regrets,
Life's too short to be unhappy.
You have to take the good with the bad,
Smile when you're sad.
Love what you got...and always remember what you had,
Always forgive, Never forget.
Learn from your mistakes, but never regret.

Summer.
The end of summer is always a bittersweet time. So much has happened down here, it kinda makes me not want to leave this reality and go back to another one.
Friends. Ive met so many new friends, I'm gonna hate saying goodbye to them; especially after all the good times we've had this summer. So many inside jokes, people in MI will have no idea what I'm talking about. It sucks living 2 separate lives.. I wish they could just come together and make things a lot easier on me. But thats life I guess. Thank you, Alvin, Arturo, Greg, Blake, Ashley #1 , and Nick for such a great summer.
Work. I made $3700 working this summer, that will definitely get me through college this year, and more. It was a great summer job, one I'll never forget. Many good times, random conversations, lots of laughs.
Bar. "I'm not an alcoholic, I'm just a drunk!" There is definitely a difference between the two. I'm gonna miss not being able to go out to the bar after a long day of work, have a few beers, shots, or shoot some pool with the guys. I'll miss the cool bartenders- Sarah, Jennifer, Merlin, Abby. Hopefully they'll still be working there whenever I come home.. haha. Long live Blue Genes!
Definitely one of the best summers I've ever had, if not the best. I'll miss it all.
Leaving for State on the 19th. Despite all this, I'm ready to see all my friends I left behind in Michigan. I'm ready to start lacrosse again, to party it up - State style, to move into my apartment and just have a movie night w/ the roommates. Needless to say, I cant wait. 4 days.

The end is near.
The History Channel = Amazing.
The Universe, Decoding the Past... you can't top those shows. Not only are they entertaining, but you learn so much.
3 more work days left... bittersweet. I guess I change my thoughts about work everyday. Some days you love it, some days you hate it. Lets hope I love it the rest of the time I'm there. I mean, where else could I have met some of the most interesting people ever? haha.

Angry times.
Time to start packing up my life again. I'm quite excited... State in 2ish weeks? something like that.. whenver the car gets fixed. I need to get out of here. Get away from things and people, return to my life. 4 more days of work. I'm so sick of waiting tables, even tho it can be good money. Customers just have no respect for anyone.. i mean honsestly, $115 bill and no tip? bullshit. I should have just quit that night.
You know what I hate? Girls who act all inferior to guys. Like whenever they are around guys, the girls act helpless and cant do a damn thing for themselves, or they act all stupid and shit. Pisses me the fuck off. Fake.
Ohhhkay. I'm done. Damn, this was an angry post! haha oh well.

what did i do to deserve this?
oh well, i guess i'll learn from my mistake.
Life rolls on.
State in 2 weeks, thank god. get me the fuck out of here.
Avenged Sevenfold - "An Epic Of Time Wasted"
So much time I've wasted.
I can truly say I never thought it would come to this.
Never would I doubt you, but the truth kept smacking me in the face.
Reality. You never stopped to think and you ripped us apart.
How could you? Now our time is gone but it's still breaking my heart.
Tears run down as I think of the days we've had,and the memories will last forever,
but you and I have died and gone our separate ways.
You are the one.
You are the wrong one.
Breaking the mold.
Going your own way.
All I feel, betrayal.
So much time I've wasted, and I never thought it'd come to this.
Apology.
We had something great, then it was washed away.
We had something more, then I can explain.
I'm sorry.
No! We had something great, then it was washed away.
No! Not all friendships last, the genuine are harder to take.
No! Time to start again, hope someday you'll think of me.
No! The end reality, I know someday I'll think of you.

a day off? what's that?!
I really need to start tanning.
I'm probably whiter than everyone back in MI.. thats not good.
Thanks a lot, work.
On a better note, I think I'm the happiest I have ever been in my life. It's sick, really. Haha.

well that sucks.
Car accidents suck. Especially when you are on your way to having the best day of your life, something like this has to happen. Just my luck. Here's the story:On my way to skydiving with Blake, roads were wet from rain that just came through. I was getting on the I-35 entrance ramp from 1604 loop just outside San Antonio, almost missing the exit because of my nasty daydreaming habit I have. So I get on the ramp, and say to Blake, "God I'm a horrible driver." where he proceeded to say "No you're not, your a good driver." The ramp was 45mph speed limit, because it wasnt that tight of a turn you had to make. I however, was going 40, maybe less cuz there were cars infront of me. But just as he said that, my car starts to fishtail because it couldnt get traction with the tires on the pavement. So I try to correct it, and end up overcorrecting it a little bit which caused it to fishtail even more. Then stupid me panics and slams on the breaks.. which I know you are not supposed to do, but I did it anyway. That caused me to completely turn my car perpindicular to the road, and skid over to the side barrier, and of course, crash right into it. It was like slow motion, as we were skidding closer and closer to it, it seemed like forever, like you just wanted to stick your hands out the window and stop the car from hitting it. Blakes head crashed thru the window, as the door collided with his hip. I just got a small whiplash in my neck, he has a bruised hip and cant walk on it without it hurting him. It just sucks. Damages according to one place is costing $4000, and so we took it to another place, and hopefully its around $2500, if not, bye bye car. :-(

Good times.
Things are going great around here, I can't complain one bit. Only a month left of summer, and as always, I wish it would never end. I'm gonna miss it here so much; all the people I've met, new friends I've made. I hate goodbyes. But I'm not gonna think about all that until the time comes. For now, I think I'll just enjoy it and live up the time I have left with them.
Went on my first "official" date with Blake last night. Dinner, then a nice relaxing walk on the Riverwalk in San Antonio. It's amazing how well we click together, a lot of the same interests, a lot in common, and a lot of chemistry between us.. haha. I've never met anyone like him before. I think he's just the thing I need in my life. I cant wait to see what happens next. Ok I'm done. haha

777
Congrats, Tom and Jessi! Their 777 wedding was a complete hit, I dont think it could have gone any better then how it did. Everything was perfect, just as it should have been. Jessi looked gorgeous walking down the isle, Tom cried, everyone cried, just perfect. I've decided my husband better cry when I'm walking down the isle, or I'd be offended. haha.
Rehersal dinner was awesome. After the rehersal dinner at Bella Note, we went to the Crazy Cowboy bar for drinks, and stayed there for quite some time. It's about time I was able to get into a Michigan bar... haha. Many pictures were taken, many free drinks were had. It was a great time.
Reception was a blast too. Lots of dancing, lots of free drinks, lots of fun with some wedding crashers... haha.
They really set the bar high for me, Nick, and Jessi's sister Amanda. It's gonna be hard to top that wedding for sure.
What a weekend. I'm exhausted. Now back to working in the real world, while Tom and Jessi enjoy their honeymoon in Petit St. Vincent. Lucky bastards.

That's hot.
Man, how quickly things change around here. People come in and out of my life all the time, I'm just glad I take the time to try and get to know them before they leave. This is the second person at work who left, who I liked to talk to and hang out with, go to the bars with. Gonna miss ya Tim!
Anyhoot, I officially have a boyfriend now, as of June 29th, 2007. Blake Allan Reynolds. He thinks it sounds like a serial killer name, I think otherwise. Only knew him for a few days, but in those few days we just clicked so well together, it was like something out of a book. Weird, this shit never happens to me. I guess my luck turns around when I'm in Texas.. haha. Great guy, I'm excited to see where this may lead to.

snap, crackle, boom.
I think I've become a work-a-holic. Whenever I have a day off, I get so bored doing nothing around the house that I wish I could be at work, where interesting things and people are. Even on days I work at 4, I cant wait to get out of the house and get there. It's weird. I guess its good that I like my job.. haha.
On a side note, I absolutely love Texas thunderstorms. The high speed wind, bolts of lightening every couple second, booming thunder.. no weather is better down here, unless its sunny and 0% humidity, but that never happens.
Just some random thoughts.

Party like a rockstar.
What a night.
Worked all day yesterday, sucked ass. I dont think I've ever heard so many people whine and complain on how long the food is taking and shit like that. "Hellooo you aren't the only person in this restaurant.. look around, the place is packed, its gonna be at least a 30 min wait for food" Dumbasses. It's unbelievable how high people place themselves on a pedestal, thinking they are the most important person in the world.
After that wonderful day, we had to party/unwind with the coworkers, of course. One of them had a "welcome home" party cuz they just moved into a new house. Fridge stocked full of beer, jello shots, and every kind of liquor you can imagine. Ridiculous. Nothing but good times for sure. Met a lot of sweet people, finally. Haha.
On a even better note, still continuing w/ the diet and lost 12.5 pounds so far. Yayyy! only 3.4 more pounds to get my goal.. and its only June. :-)

You just never expect things like this to happen to people you know. It sucks to go out when you are this young... especially when it could have easily been avoided.

Get well soon, Jackie Matthes <3
You are both in my thoughts.. :-(

RIP TPIR :-(
I never thought this day would come so soon. The final episode of The Price Is Right.. tomorrow. :-( What am I to do during the weekdays at 10/11 am from now on? No more yelling at the TV and calling people retarded for their bids and picks. So sad knowing I'll never get a chance to be on the show.. Oh well, have a Happy Retirement Bob Barker, and thank you for all these years of enjoyment.
On a happier note, GO SPURS GO!! Win it big tonite!

Go Spurs Go!
Just thought I'd update, say that yes, I'm still alive down here. Jack shit has been going on, working all the time. Deposited about a grand into the bank the other day, that should cover books for both semesters. Everything I earn now is for spending money for this coming year... yayyy!
Went tubing down the river yesterday, got a very bad sunburn, and now I'm pretty much dying. Never felt this kind of pain from a sunburn... like its tearing into my skin even when nothing is touching it. Sucks, but thats what you get for not wearing sunscreen down here, even if you are only outside tubing for an hour.
Blah, nothing else going on really. Work, bar, sleep. Thats what my life consists of this summer. I guess it could be worse...

Payday is tomorrow! Woot woot!

a boy? huh?
A lot of weird shit has been happening lately, first my dog kills a deer, then this event? Texas is starting to grow on me a bit...
So yesterday I was working, of course, when I waited on this strapping young fellow with his parents and aunt/uncle. They order alcoholic beverages, no food, and sit there for about an hour for no reason really, just enjoying the scenery. Well they have a $27 bill, and then give me a $10 tip for bringing them drinks, once. Quite weird, I thought. So I forget about it. Then later that night, this young fellow comes back to the restaurant when we were closing, and pretty much asks me if I want to go to the bar with him after work. Of course I say yes, after all he was good looking, and how often does this ever happen to me anyway?... Haha. So I seized the opportunity and go to the bar with another co-worker and her boyfriend, and sure enough, there is Matt with his family. There was a band playing at the bar, so we got up and did the good ol' country western two step, which I am getting better at.. haha, I swear. Then left that bar to go to another bar where we wont get carded if we ask for drinks. There we played pool, talked, and drank our beer, and found out that we have more and more in common with one another as we kept talking. Then later we left to go to the river, and had a good ol' time there, swimming, or trying to cuz the current was so damn strong. Then he gets a call from his parents wondering where the hell he's at, and if I had kidnapped him, so he had to back to the hotel. Today he visited me at work for a few minutes, just to say goodbye and whatnot. Sucks cuz he lives out in Waco, which is about 1.5 - 2 hours away.. why does this always happen to me? I meet some pretty cool people, but they all live way to far away from me to start anything. It sucks. Oh well tho. Hopefully I'll see him again when I drive back to MI, or if he comes to San Antonio or something. You never know.

Hopefully I'll see him again when I drive back to MI, or if he comes to San Antonio or something. You never know.

Rocko's first kill.
Here's something interesting/shocking...
Rocko's First Kill:
My parents go on a daily walk around the property with the dog. Well today was no different. However, today there were doe and fawn's out in the back of the property. Rocko being the stupid dog that he is, goes and chases them across the field in our backyard. He catches up to one of the baby's and traps it somehow. It ran over to a part of our yard that is basically a huge puddle, could almost be called a pond. So Rocko chases it over there, and the deer tries jumping over the fence thats there, but cant make it, so it was trapped. Apparently the dog grabbed it by its hind legs, and the baby being as scared as it was, drops down in the pudddle/pond, as Rocko stands on top of it as the baby drowns in the puddle, as if he knew he was drowning it and killing it. My parents come running by to see what had happened, and the only thing they saw was the dog standing on top of the drowned deer. So being the hicks that we are, my dad goes out there and drags the dead deer out of the water, carries it up the hill and proceeds to gut it, skin it, chop it all up, and freeze the meat.
I guess we're having deer tonite.

Work Work Work
Summer. It sucks so far, but its bound to get better. Work is going great, meeting a lot of different and weird people, getting big tips.. money is nice. haha
Memorial day was crazy. Family came up. Worked 36 hours in 4 days. Needless to say, I'm pretty beat.
Diet is going well.. been 2 weeks and already lost 7 pounds. Woo! If I keep this up, I'll be in great shape. ha.
Ummm.. yeah. Thats about it.

WDIA Nationals 2007
Wow, it's been a while.
Lets see.. semester grades were a lot better than last, thank god. Finals were ok, studying always sucks. School is over. Move out day was kinda depressing knowing I wont walk down the hall and see the same people ever again, but then again I'm extremely happy for that since most of them were bitches anyway. Haha
Nationals was amazing. Denver is always a great time, no matter what. We were ranked 8th going into the tournament. We played Florida first. Beat them 10-8 in a fairly stressful game. The altitude sucks since you cant breathe as well and not to mention that we only had 3 subs this whole tourny... not good. Next game was against Cal Poly, the 6x defending nationals champs, so needless to say I wasnt surprised that we lost 19-4. So we go to the losers bracket, and play U of M the next day, losing like 16-6 or something, we were exhausted but it was a tough and physical game, even the coaches were about to go at it.. haha. Douchebags. Anyhoot. Played Colorado the next day, lost 8-7, but played well considering our lineup. So overall, we ended up in 8th place when the tournament was over, not bad. U of M came in 5th, but left in 6th.. hahah those cocky bastards. Partied on Saturday night, shit happened, long story short - U of M sucks at beer pong. haha. Anyway, flight out was at 6am Sunday, so that sucked.
Drove all day Sunday and all day Monday and finally got to Texas last night. Not that bad of a drive, 2 - 10 hour days.
Diet and exercise starts today. Trying to get toned and down to 130 again, hopefully I can do it, lose the beer belly... ha.
Job hunting sucks.

Freshman Year.
I can't believe this year almost over. It seems like just yesterday I was moving all my stuff in, trying to find my way around on this campus. Now there's a week of finals left. Where did this school year go to, and where was I for half of it? haha. Many good times, many mehhh times. Overall it was a fun time:
Met some sweet people who I cant wait to live with next year. Partayy!
Anyhoot. Time to study for finals... :-( Wish me luck! I'm actually doing well this semester!

I couldnt imagine what I would have done without them.Anyhoot. Time to study for finals... :-( Wish me luck! I'm actually doing well this semester!

DIVISION CHAMPS!!
Yesterday was quite possibly one of the best days of my life. Had to go to Toledo for playoffs...
Here's how it went down.
Game 1: No. 16 MSU vs Miami of Ohio. Should have been an easy game, but Miami is way underrated. They played a great game, but MSU wins 10 to 5. Had a couple of sweet assists.
Game 2: No. 16 MSU vs Defending Division A Champs in 2006, No. 8 Pittsburgh. We worked our butts off, out-hustling them to every ball. They thought this game would be a cakewalk, but the underdog MSU wins 10 to 6. We played excellent defense. Winning this game knocks Pitt out of the running for Nationals.
Game 3: Division A Finals: No. 16 MSU vs No. 5 U of M. Going into this game from that huge win vs Pitt, we were feeling unstoppable. It was a back and forth game, we score, they score. But then we broke away from them halfway thru the second half, increasing the lead to 3 goals. And then the rest of the game is history. MSU wins 9 to 6.
MSU IS DIVISION A CHAMPS!! MSU IS GOING TO NATIONALS IN DENVER!!
Pretty much the most amazing feeling ever to finally win something in lacrosse. After 2 years of being runner up at the state finals, I was getting sick of being second best. Winning this was just amazing. No one can stop us now! Denver, here we come!

Shunnnnnnah!
This week was pretty good. Popo's 21st birthday on Wednesday, good times of course. Drank way to much ocean for my own good.
Toledo was a good time this weekend.. but FREEZING cold. Won all three games by 12 goals or more, scored 5 or 6.. I'm not sure. Partied afterwords at Germs, passed out early tho. Shitshow.
I am quite happy that I wont be living in Michigan this summer. Finally a chance to turn my shitshow of a life around and do something productive for once. Work out and eat healthy in attempt to lose the Freshman 30. I wont be drinking heavily anymore, so a chance for my tolerance to go way down just in time for the fall and welcome week, so I can do it all over again. Haha, healthy I know, right? Hopefully I'll get into a healthy food / active routine so I'll keep all the weight off next year... hah right.
Anyhoot, playoffs this weekend in Toledo. Gonna be a tough one. Kinda weird knowing this may be the last week of lacrosse for the year.. what am I going to do with my life then?! Maybe focus on school and actually get good grades.. that works. Rambling, I'm done.

Chicagoland!
Easter weekend was a lot of fun. Went to Chicago with Becka from Thursday to Sunday. Good times. One of her friends was house sitting, so he had many parties every night. Met most of her friends, who are hillarious. Met probably the nicest/cutest guy ever, Brandon, who I would date in a heartbeat if I had a chance. Haha. Wish he didnt live in Illinios tho, that sucks. Oh well, I'll see him this fall when he visits. Easter Day was great, tons of GREAT food, and not to mention, some hot cousins of hers. Haha. I'm done.
Anyhoot. Hanging out with Kristen and Beckaaaaa a lot , and I cannot wait till we get our apartment. Even tho we all have nothing in common, we all have a great time when we are together. It's kinda weird how that works out. PUMPED!
Toledo this weekend and next weekend for playoffs. WOOT! GO STATE!

Welcome To Michigan. Don't Like the weather? Wait 5 minutes.
Yesterday, it was 70's and mostly cloudy.
Today, it's 30's and snowing.
I despise Michigan.

Confused?
I'm kinda over this whole college thing. This year is winding down and instead of getting better, it's kinda getting worse. I never have time for anything anymore including friends (outside of lax), which is why most of them all moved on without me. I find myself eating alone in the caf all the time now, on my own schedule different from all theirs, studying constantly to try and keep my grades decent. So I figure I'm walking away from college with 2 new good friends (outside lax that is), and the rest acquaintances. Not exactly what I wanted when I got myself involved in this whole deal. I guess it doesnt really matter in the end anyway, when I hopefully get enough courage to move out of this state for good. Thinking about transferring has crossed my mind a lot lately, but I know I'd never do it. I'm too comfortable being here, but at the same time I'm not. I dont know where I belong anymore.
Thank god for the team, they keep me sane; but at the same time they are the reason why I dont have many friends here anymore...
Thank god I'm going to Chicago this weekend, getting away from all this. I need it.

One month left? wtf!?
I figure I should update once in a while.
Pretty much spent the whole weekend w/ some lax girls. Thursday went out w/ Germo, Dana, Hig, Freeze, and that little crowd (OOOH A PUN!) and got pretty trashed. Friday, hung out w/ the same crowd at Freeze's house, watched movies, stuff like that.
Lost to U of M on saturday 12-7, don't really want to talk about that game.
The afterparty was pretty sweet. Getting black out, then sobering up like a duck by 5 am. And apparently a kid was pushed thru a window at the house. Missed that one. Some nice brother and sister fighting going on, we're the life of the party. Haha.
Anyhoot. This week is going allright I guess, hopefully getting better. I'm doing a little bit better this semester than last, but I wish I could do better, I just dont know how. So thats a Debbie Downer.
Inger's birthday tonite, so that should be a fun time.
Dayton this weekend. The rest of the season is gonna fly by, I just know it.
One month of school left... amazing how fast it all went by.

And then I'll be smiling..
I think I had one of the best days of my life yesterday. The weather was warm, people were happy, everyone's in a GREAT mood.
Slept in til 11, watched a rockin' Price is Right, found out that I'm not a complete retard (but still am..) in Bio when I figured out I put the wrong form number on the exam scantron, so I DIDNT fail afterall. Just gotta get that all changed and whatnot, if Pam lets me. Hopefully. Took my psych exam which I hopefully rocked. Felt like I did, let's hope that feeling is right. Practice later was shortened because people at MSU are retarded and we cant turn on the lights on the field. Later hung out w/ some amazingly sweet laxers, and met new amazingly sweet people. GREAT times! But it doesnt stop there...
Trading in the POS Cavalier for a truck sometime in the next month.. wooo! Nick's getting it when we graduate tho, but that lead to more good news. Apparently my grandparents put away 5 grand for each of us when we were born, so we could have a little head start when we graduated college. So that money goes to a newly used truck for me when Nick graduates and takes his car that we're trading in for.
Pretty much a REALLY great day! Let's keep this going throughout the weekend!
Playing Michigan on Saturday... bring those bitches onnn! Kegger after to celebrate! woooo!

"Ain't nothing better than Southern Cali weather"... actually there is...
California was fun. Won 2 lost 2. It was a sucessful weekend overall. Only lost by 4 to the number 1 team in the nation, not baddd! Partied it up in Santa Monica on St. Patricks day, met random mexicans from Bakersfield, had fun, you know. Went to the pier at like 3 in the morning. Walked around. Tried to get into bar's. Lost my camera, pissed about that. Its somewhere in a bush on Main Street, or in the hotel room. No idea. Oh well. Other than that, the weather was cold, like 60's and cloudy. Sucked, but oh well. I was in Cali.
2 exams this week, not lookin forward to it at all. One tomorrow and one on Thursday. Blah.
Dilly's 21st bday extravaganza tonite, should be a drunken good time! yayyyyy!

Back To Reality
I hate reality checks. The day after spring break blows.
2 exams next week in the classes that I need to bring my grades up in the most, but I'm not here all weekend. Stressful. I hate exams. Only 48 days left til the end of the semester...
Ann Arbor tourny was good I guess. Lost to USC 7-6 on Friday, it sucked. Had a two goal lead, but choked at the end. Dont really want to talk about it.
Saturday we beat Lindenwood, MO a shit load to 0. Also beat Wisconsin a shit load to 0, finally scored tho, so that was good.
Sunday, we played the bitches of Rhode Island, killing them 11-5, scored 4 goals.. you know. haha. Great game thats for sure.
Supposed to be 60's tomorrow AND Californiaaaa in 3 days?! Hells yes. How can I stress at a time like this?? I'll never know.
St Patty's Day this weekend! WOOO!!

a fire?!
Sooo today was interesting...
Pretty much blew at my interview. I guess they want a Jesus Freak over an experienced counselor. Ohhh well. I'll be surprised if I got the job. Would be convenient tho, considering the camp is right across the street.
On a different note, a wild fire formed like a mile away from my house! I knew it was dry here, but that dry?? Scary, since it was on our side of the river. It was HUGE! It took the firemen pretty much the whole day to put out. Looked really sweet once the sun went down, tho; all you saw was a glow of red/orange in the sky, kinda like the northern lights.
Anyway. Basically one more day left of my break... and still have all my homework to do. :-(
Sucks.

It's late...
It's late. I'm bored and have nothing better to do than write.
Texas is the same. Relaxing and rejuvenating.
Did tons of yard work today, trying to fix up the past 3ish years of the lawn. What a nightmare. 3 truck loads of leaves and crap, and the yard is still only halfway done. Sick man.
Interview with "Jesus" Camp tomorrow. Kinda nervous, hopefully it will go well.
On my 3 mile walk this morning, I was thinking and decided when I'm married with kids, I want my kids to write in a journal, starting once they learn how to write. I wish I did so I could remember more of my childhood. I mean, I barely remember middle school, It was one big blur. I believe if I had kept a journal all throughout my childhood, I could remember it a lot better and be able to look back on it. That's one thing I regret not doing, and I dont want my kids to feel the same way.
Random.
I guess thats it for now. Bed time.

SB07.. sboven?
Flogging Molly never ceases to amaze me. They always put on a great show, full of energy and moshing, and tons of random people (Shipp). I am beat to hell, physically and mentally. Bruises on the arms and legs, ears ringing for days, but it's all worth it. In-Your-Face concerts like those are a must have every now and then, or maybe more than that. Sure, sit down concerts where you don't move much are nice and chill, but sometimes you just wanna get up and go with the music. I love it. Second most favorite band to see live for sure, next to KMK of course. Woooo!
Spring Break has started, and so far its been pretty good!
Tejas tomorrow!

a few more.
Spring break... so close!
2 more days of classes.
3ish more days of shitty weather.
Flogging Molly on Friday with some sweet people.
Then back home to sunny 80 degree weather, peace, quiet, relaxation, and rejuvenation.
I'm pumped.
I would be more pumped if I could go to South Padre w/ my bro and cousins. Thanks, lacrosse.
Oh well. Back up in the AA next Thursday for a lax tourny.
Short lived break, but thats allright. I'll take what I can get.

John Frickin Mayer
Sooo John Mayer was amazing. One of the best concerts I have ever seen, not only because of the closeness to the stage, but just because he was simply amazing. Great setlist and great pictures = great times.

YAY FOR PACZKI DAY!
I love Mardi Gras. I would love it even more if I didnt feel so shitty..
This weekend pretty much blew. Only good parts: went to Tempe, where its warm and sunny, got a tan, and got to lay by the pool and lounge. The rest of the trip sucked. Bob didnt let us go out on Thursday night, even tho thats why we got there 2 days early, so we can go out. Then on Friday, I suddenly caught the stomach flu and was puking all day. That carried over to Saturday, where we lost both of our games, which were back to back by the way. BYU and ASU. Allright teams, but we could have soooo beaten them if we had our whole team healthy. Slept the rest of the day while other healthy humanoids got to go lay out by the pool. Sunday was a lot better, but we still lost both games, Santa Barbara and Santa Clara. Bitches they were. Just cuz ur from Cali doesnt mean you rule all. Flight home was good. UNO and whatnot, while being on the same flight as the MSU softball team back home from Memphis. Weird.
Almost passing out on the drive home, while I was driving. Not good.
Anyhoot, JOHN MAYER THIS WEEKEND!! WOOOOO!!!! is that pumped up enough for you?? haha.
I need a vacation.

Relaxation.
Finally. I get to relax for the rest of the week. No more quizzes or exams to study for.
Facebook can be a wonderful thing, finding old friends. Just when you think someone is gone out of your life forever, you can stalk/find them on facebook. Haha.
Arizona in 3. Thank goddddd. I need to get out of this state. Good times to come.

Ohh Randomness.
I LIVE for random days.
Went to the MSU Museum after WRA today, with Phousse. Saw Pam, birds, DINO's! and everything you possibly need to know about evolution. It was an amazing time. hahahaha
Then we saw the bells being played at the Tower. THAT was awesome.
Soooo I pretty much learned more just from going to those things, than I did in all of my classes today. That doesn't bode well for MSU...

2. The way tar feels on your feet as you walk barefoot down the street, during summer.
3. The smell of freshly done laundry.
4. The first snowfall of winter.
5. A nice, relaxing conversation with someone.
6. Hearing a really good band live.
7. The transformation of how the trees look from spring to summer.
8. Long nights of boredom, with nothing to do.
9. Day dreaming about what my life might have in-store for me.
10. Dreams. Enough said.

"Rookiessss!"
Wow. So the Rookie Party was last night, and I have never been so black-out drunk in my life. It was SUCH a good time. I love this fucking team like none other... I dont think I could get thru college without them. Started around 7. Did my first keg stand, 11 seconds.. sucks, but I was the first person to drink from the keg, so it shot straight down my throat and made me choke. Haha it was a great time. Did Apple Pie shots next... gross. Drank more beer. Performed a skit, which me and Sita won. Losers had to drink a mixed shot of whisky, burnetts raspberry and citrus. Sick man. haha. Played russian roulette after. Drank more beer. Played Edward 22 hands. Basically alternated between shots and beer. It was pretty sick. I dont think I remember anything after 11ish.. pretty much blacked out by then, but stayed up til around 1.. and I have no idea what I did between those two times. haha, oh welll! Woke up still drunk, so you know we did it big last night. haha, good times! <3 'em all.
Anyhoot, back to reality. Tons of homework to be doing, but not in the mood to do it. Sucks.

Lacrosse.
Lacrosse has officially taken over my life.
We now have practice/conditioning 5 days a week.
Next week, it's 6 days.
I'm not complaining, I'll be in the best shape of my life.
But having to give up a concert that I've wanted to go, for a MANDATORY team bonding night? Just about pushed it a little far.
We better be having a damn good drunken time at that bonding thing, or else I'll be pissed.
That is all for now.

MLK weekend.
So apparently I dont update this enough, even tho there's nothin to really update.
MLK weekend was pretty good. Friday was The Fray concert w/ the awesome people of B1.
Saturday, stayed in and drank in the dorms.. some bonding time as Kellys friend Ian would say. It was a wasted good time. Sunday - hungover all day, as expected. Monday- no class, thanks to a man having a dream.
Besides that, some of the girls and I were thinkin about doin a IM sports team, like walleyball or innertube waterpolo. Should be a fun time.
Lax is starting. First official practice started yesterday. Cant wait to get this season rolling. Should be a great team, and a great time.
American Idol is calling my name..

New Semester
Kickin' off the new semester. Looks like its gonna be a good one. Lots of good classes and good profs, not to mention good people in each class. Mondays and Wednesdays - Bowling, General Conditioning, and Philosophy. Tuesdays and Thursdays - WRA, ISB, Psych. I'm really diggin the philosophy class. I love how it challenges my thinking in ways that normal classes dont. Not to mention, the prof is a fox. A nerdy fox at that, which makes it all the better. Hard classes, but I still think I will do a lot better than my last semester, thats for sure.
The smell of lacrosse is in the air... I'm pumped.

2007
Welcome, 2007.
My New Years Resolutions- one is pretty generic, the others not so much.
1. Eat healthier, do daily crunches, get rid of belly pouch. I weighed myself today and wasn't pleased, but then again, I thought it would be worse. 145... lets get that down to 125 again. I need to buy a scale.
2. Try my best to clear up my acne for good. haha. I'm almost 19, and it seems that everywhere I look, no one else has acne but me. So, whatever it takes, this stuff has got to go.
3. Try not to spend money on useless shit- AKA - SAVE.
4. Play better lacrosse. I have not been pleased with the way I have been playing and need to step it up a lot.
5. Get my GPA up. Study. Study. Study.
I think that is good for now. Basically, live a healthier lifestyle and study a lot more.
...Easier said than done.
