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.

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.
