heartache, highstakes; that's what's real
and all you have to say is how i feel
i think it's surreal how you try and conceal
your love for me but you can't even see the emotional debris
as i look in your eyes and see the sun rise, blue skies
but there's too many lies, not enough truth
not enough wisdom in all this youth
that's immature, careless, and uncouth
but i keep on acting like it's all okay
as i silently weigh choices everyday
if you just walked the talk it'd be a shock although sure to unlock
this weight from my neck, it'd stack the deck
in my favor instead of this bittersweet flavor
i'd be closer instead of this distant behavior
but i'm about to say "forget it," "i quit"
i cant ever have or even get
a lucky break, just just more pain in the wake of another mistake
time after time, as i try to climb to peak sublime
but i arrive at mount doom, it'll be my tomb
as i wait for this one flower to bloom.

The day after, my phone broke. So I ended up spending a bunch on the DSi and then having to spend a bunch more on a new phone. So now I'm not gonna be able to pay off my credit card right away, so I'm cringing cause of the late payment fees. I'll be pretty much broke after that payment, and I don't get my next paycheck until Monday. Hopefully it'll be pretty good, because that'll hafta cover rent and all my other bills, as well as food.
On top of that, this girl situation is killing me. I'm either hot or cold. On or off. There's no middle ground with me. I'm either very passionate or not at all. So while this girl is trying to figure things out, I hafta play the middle ground, cause I don't want to rush her or get into something too soon, but I really (really...really...) like her, so I want to have commitment and something real. But it's all so confusing. I miss having people to talk to about stuff like this.
Heh, I had pretty much given up that I'd find someone I could trust and love and care for that much. I talked myself out of a couple girls who were really into me, broke their hearts. Wasn't fair to them because I was just scared of getting hurt. And now that I've finally found someone worth opening up to, it's not working out like I hoped. So it just kills me inside. I don't really know how long I can last doing this. I'm getting so tired.... Emotionally I'm passed out on the floor. Spiritually I'm crawling along on my hands and knees. I was finally at a place in my life where I wasn't craving the feeling of love and I was fine with that... And then this girl just appears and messes everything up in the most horrible, incredible way. I'm definitely falling for her more every day, but if things don't change soon, I think I'll start piling my armor back on. I've already started. A little piece here and there..
Money and this girl... The two biggest stresses in my life right now. Well money I just don't care. I just need it. I'm trying to sell my DSi and stuff to make up for the phone cost and to cover my credit card bill. But no one wants to buy one for some reason. I just wanna go live in the woods.

One of my friends told me that I shouldn't have low standards, but I shouldn't set my standards so high that they're impossible.
Here's what I'm looking for in a girl:
-A strong Christian woman who's more-or-less stable
-Someone who can encourage me in what I do
-Someone who's passionate
-Someone who's willing to chase me
-Someone who can appreciate who I am, cause I don't pretend to be anyone else. I'm me. I'm a gentleman, I'm a Christian, I'm passionate about the people I love, and I care deeply. Respect is one of my biggest attributes.
But it's really difficult to find a girl who can appreciate that, apparantly.

Well that's not true, there was one girl. I messed everything up with her. I still wasn't fully healed after my ex, and still hurting a lot. So things didn't work. I pushed her away because I thought I'd get hurt.

But with this new girl, I've gotten past all the second-guessing and doubts. I'm commited but I'm just waiting for her, and it's killing me. I'm really not sure how she sees me. I know she really likes me, but how so? I feel like if I wasn't around, it'd be some other guy. Wouldn't matter if he was a complete jerk, she'd still be with someone if they liked her. And because I'm the nicest guy nearby, she latched onto me. But I want her to appreciate me for me, not just because I'm a good emotional crutch or because I'm the closet caring guy. But because she actually likes me because I'm awesome.

And I know I'm awesome. I'm not the best, but for someone out there, maybe I am. But I can't find her. I gave up looking though, and this girl appears. So I just don't know what to do anymore.

This last week has been the most stressful since I moved out.

Taxes were due as well, which put my back another $150, cause I owe this year. The DSi was another $150, and the phone was $220. So this month is gonna be really close. (If anyone wants to buy a DSi, let me know). So my dad's been bugging me about taxes all last week, my bank account is shrinking, and my heart's been fucked up so much I don't know if I can last another day. It's just been turned upside down so many times by so many people.

But what can I do? Do I just shuffle through another day? Just 'get by'? No, I want to overcome and improve. But picking yourself up off the ground gets tiring. And when you're out of reasons to do so, it makes it even harder.

Just when you run out of hope, another door opens. But making the choice to go through that door is the toughest decision ever.
What if there's another door that you haven't seen yet.
What if the door leads somewhere you don't want to go.
What if you go for that door, and it closes before you get there.

Maybe I think about things too much. But this is really stressing me out.

I wish I could say what I need to say. But I don't know how it would change things. If it'd be for the better or worse.

I just don't even know anymore.

But life goes on. As much as we hate it, life goes on.

But for the first time in a long time, I feel like I could have a chance of being happy again. But it also has the potential for being terrible. So I don't know what to do. It could be great. It could be horrible. That's what every single decision comes down to. Which option is less painful. Which option has the best reward vs. risk ratio. This decision is too close to tell so far. I dunno if I can figure this out by myself. But there's no one else to really talk to. So I'll just keep pretending it's all okay.

Just when you think there won't be any hope, a tiny glimmer will shine through. When you go for it, it goes out right before you get to it. Leaving you even more confused and without hope.

If you don't have any expectations, then you can never be disappointed. I think that's what I'll start believing. Well, it's what I kinda have started to believe. Just don't give a shit and things will work out.

There's so little for me to actually care enough about to live for.... If I actually thought about what I have to live for, it'd probably be very depressing.

Maybe I'm just freaking out because I've had massive amounts of RedBull.

They should make a "Super-Size It" movie but based about RedBull and me. Or not.

I punch my closet door. When I'm frustrated or overwhelmed, I just wail on it. It's my release.

Can't sleep. Bored. Tired. But can't sleep.

Screw the world. It sucks. Man, Obama is an idiot.

I need a new laptop.

Poop.

Another Christmas has gone by. Another year of unanswered questions. Another year of pain with no gain. Lost a few friends. Gained a few enemies. But somewhere in all the hurt we hafta believe God has a better plan. Sometimes I believe it. Other times I struggle. But there are things that happen and you KNOW that that's where you're supposed to be. For instance, I drove to work last week after we got all that snow, took the long way. Driving across the valley I looked over and saw a coyote trotting across the snow and it was beautiful. There was no one else on the roads and the picture of the coyote walking across the pure white snow was moving. That's just one example of the things that have happened to me. Just tonight I found my phone. I lost it earlier this week in my yard, dropped it in the snow. I pulled into our driveway and figured I'd try to look for my phone one last time since most of the snow had melted. I walked out to the backyard and didn't see it. I wasn't really expecting to find it, and my phone plan is almost up anyway, so I wasn't too disappointed. But as I start walking back up to the house, something in the darkness of the ground caught my eye and turns out it was my phone. And it still works. How crazy is that?

There's other things, more pronounced that happen that let me know I'm where I'm supposed to be... For instance, the store I work at got robbed a couple nights ago. Two guys rushed in with knives and stole our deposits from our safe. I had gotten off work a couple hours before and it's probably a good thing cuz I think I would've fought back and I think people would've gotten hurt.

But there are things that just push me to the edge of what I feel I can handle. I worked almost a 10 hour day today, after working a 9.5 each day for the last couple days. During the last week my parents and I haven't been too bad. Usually we're on thin ice. But right around Christmas it was okay. But now it feels like it's sliding back into that rut. I'm so fucking sick of dealing with all this. But I know it's just going to get more complicated and more difficult. I'm struggling with keeping up with the changes.

"There's gotta be more to life.. Than chasing that ever temporary high.."

I just doubt myself on every subject. I'm taking over at the store I work at as Assistant Store Manager sometime in Jan. and I'm starting to doubt that I can do a good job. I'm starting to doubt that I'll be able to sell my mustang. I doubt I'll be able to find a place to live in the next month or that I'll be able to find a decent roommate who I can share the rent with. It's an uphill struggle both ways.

I used to enjoy Christmas time. Like way back, when I was way younger. In the past few years it's just a time of the year when loneliness is harder to deal with.

I just need to get out of this house. Our chinese exchange student is getting THIS close to getting punched in the face. My parents are pushing me so close to the edge I started punching walls and doors again. Because I internalize everything, I have very few outlets for my anger and frustration. It's difficult-nay, impossible to verbalize any of those frustrations with my parents, so all of that is bottled up. The only way I'm able to vent at all is writing it out in journals such as this, or maybe bitching about it to a friend or something. But I haven't really been able to do that since I've been so busy the past month. And it's just those split second triggers that gets you so pissed off you just can't take it. I just hafta stop, take a few deep breaths. But sometimes it's not enough so I end up punching my closet door. It helps. But if you have a better suggestion, let me know.

I just wish things were simple. Or maybe I was stronger.

I was just going to write a short update. Didn't turn out how I expected, but oh well.

I guess update: I quit at Costco, got a job at Gamecrazy, got promoted to ASM. Moving out by Feb so looking for a roommate pronto. Other than that, same shit, different toilet. But hopefully that'll change. We'll see.

Just thought I'd update. Not much is new though. Lots going on right now.
Work's kinda getting to the point where I'm looking for something new to do. My hours are getting cut back a lot so I'm thinking of picking up a second job and then trying to move out.
Reconsidering joining the Marines sooner rather than later.
School still sucks, so we'll see how that ends up.
Other stuff going on, but that's life.
Still got my music.
Reconsidering a lot of things. Priorities are being reorganized.
Cleaned my room. You can see the floor. It's pretty impressive.
Been wanting to get another guitar. My dad's is decent, but it gest out of tune real easily and nylon strings, so not the same sound I'm looking for. So considering getting another one. And some recording equipment. I've written a couple new songs, and finishing some of the old ones. Want to record them. So that'll be cool if it happens.
It's Friday. Which means I can sleep. And play WoW.
Dinner time.
Hmm.
Short update, but my life isn't all that exciting right now anyway.

I have a paper to write.
I work tomorrow.
And I'm tired.
So I'm going to bed
And writing the paper tomorrow... Don't worry, I got half done tonight and all the research.
My parents are leaving for a week. They leave on Friday morning. Going to Vegas. My dad has a job convention down there. Good times. They're visiting family on the way back, so that'll be cool.
Kinda wanna go with them, go by Sacramento on the way home
I got some new songs. Yay.
My newest song is up. You should go look. I think it's quite good. It is a song so it doesn't look like much on paper. I assure you it sounds quite good, but not when I sing it.
More cough drops, please.
Well, since I didn't get much sleep last night, I think I'm gonna go to bed now.
Still won't get very much. Poop.
Maybe I'll just sleep tomorrow.... I hafta write the paper tomorrow. Damn.
Oh well.
My lan is this weekend. Couple guys can't make it. It's sad. So it'll be a small group, but that's good, too. More gaming, less arguing about what games to play. Hope it'll still be fun.
Okay, yeah, I'm going.

- I got that job at Costco. I started out in food, which was basically stocking cases of food and whatnot. Then got moved into center, which is seasonal, candy, books, dvds, clothing. More specifically, I was moved into seasonal. I finally ended up in books/dvds. So I've been stocking all your favorite books and dvds at Costco. I got my first raise, was promoted to head of book table because my co-worker quit. And it's not a real promotion. I'm just the only one who knows how to do it. Since my co-worker quit a few weeks ago, I've been training the FNG for the past two weeks. And guess what, he's still a noob. He's the most unmotivated employee EVAR. Foob..
I'm not bitter..
Anyway, that's going all right. I guess.

Other than that, things are going great.
I'm tired though. Work is hard. School is gay. And so is Dave.
And Emma is beautiful <3
And I am going to bed.

So that wasn't much of an update. But no one reads this anyway.

Oh well.
NIGHT.

I'm going to Costa Rica tonight. Leaving around 8pm. I won't be back for two weeks. So. Yeah.

I'll definitely take lots of pictures and post some on here no doubt.

Oh, and check out my other DA account. I created a new one for just photography. Some of my better pictures and photoshopped stuff.

I only have a few up, but I'll have some up by the time I get back.

Is it okay for those flags to be replaced by flags bearing swastikas?
Is it right for this to happen twice?
Is it just freedom of speech? Expression?

No, I don't like war. A lot of people die who shouldn't. But yes, I think war is nessicary. Without war, there's no peace. People just can't get along. There's always been war, there always will be. No, I don't really support the current war, but I do support the men and women who are serving in it. Come on, face it; We. Are. At. War. Yes, you can throw your little protests, burn American flags, cuss out the President, whatever you want. You can do that because the people overseas are fighting for your rights to do so. But that's not the issue. We're at war, we can't really change that. So just support the troops. They don't want to be over there, but they are. We don't want them there, but they are.
And that brings me to another point: the questions and example that I started with really happened in a veteran graveyard here in Washington. Now I know a lot of people don't like war. They don't like what's currently going on. But if you go and decimate a graveyard that has the veterans of wars that occured decades ago, then fuck you. Seriously. Today's generation of peace-keepers, world-lovers, and anti-war movements are mainly made up of teens and young adults. How many of them were alive during WWI? WWII? None.... Vietnam? Maybe a few. Gulf War? Some, sure. But we can't change the past. It's done, gone, happened. Why destroy and demean the sacrifice that hundreds of thousands of men and women have made by vandalizing veteran memorials and graveyards? If I knew who burned those flags and put up flags with swastikas on 'em, I'd kick there ass; for starters. I admire everyone who's served in the armed forces. I've read about the sacrifices that they've had to make. I've talked to a WWII veteran who was shot through the throat trying to carry two of his friends to safety. The Medal of Honor. Go look it up. Read about those who have earned it. I'll tell you now that I would be HONORED... Honored to lay down my life like some of those men and women. No, I wouldn't purposely put myself in danger, but there is no greater sacrifice. They never planned to throw themself on a grenade to save 8 other people. But they did. Why? Not for glory, recognition, money, or fame. But for those 8 other people. For their country. For the rights that we have today. For the rights of those who stand on the corner, holding their signs of protest. For those who go to military hospitals and ridicule the wounded. For those who decide to spray paint a tombstone of a fallen WWII soldier. Those who burn flags.
I repeat: no, I don't encourage wars, but I realize that they're nessicary for the progression of freedom and peace. I support our troops in every manner. I recognize the sacrifice that those in WWI, WWII, Vietnam, and every war have made. One of the main reasons I've considered joining the military is to.. Somewhat pay back those who made this country free. To give back to those who have given their very lives. It's my duty. It is. I think this country has lost that.

On another subject: the Virginia Tech Shooting... I really don't care if other people had been able to carry guns. If the teacher had been allowed to keep a gun. It doesn't really matter. The fact that really bothers me, is that the guys didn't really do much. I read several stories of some of the survivors. One of them was of a guy who played dead. Now I'm not saying that everyone did that in this instance. I would hope that someone actually tried to stop the shooter. But this guy played dead. He even got shot twice more WHILE playing dead. Some good it did him. I don't know about everyone else, but if a shooter came into my class, I'd do everything in my power to take him down. Everything can be a weapon. And I'd use everything I could to keep him from hurting other people, or myself. I dunno, I just find that story very lame. No, I don't know what the situation was, I wasn't there. No, I don't really know what I would do. But I certainly wouldn't play dead and hope to come out alive. I'd die fighting. Not die being a coward.

Those couple things have been on my mind for a while. So there ya go. I'll probably get a lot of flak from these. But this is what I believe. Veteran's deserve the upmost respect. Anyone who vandalizes a war memorial or graveyard has absolutely no grace in my book. I don't push for war, but I believe that there cannot be peace without war. Prove me wrong.

School's kinda gay. Haven't been to my communications class for a couple weeks. My history class is hella easy so far, yet boring beyond compare. And my political science class.. well.. I just regret signing up for that one. But oh well. It's been really easy. My communications class has no homework, the first midterm was a two page paper on how lighting and color was used in a recent film we watched. The first history midterm was a two and a half page paper on the Aztec's and human sacrifice (my choice from a list of other options we could write about). History also has no homework and the teacher never makes eye contact, so it's easy to fall asleep in his class. Political science doesn't have homework either, and his midterms are take home tests. Yes, you can all cuss me out and hate me now.

I'm still working at the gym. It still sucks. As soon as I sell the Jeep, I get another car. When I get the other car, I can go after the delivery job, which pays around $17 an hour, with tips. And since I'm only making $8.75 at the gym, it's an obvious choice. But, on the other hand, working at the gym lets me use the gym for free. So if I quit, then I'd hafta go when people I know are working at the front desk, or go when my sister is working, or get a membership, which is pricey. So I dunno. I'll probably just get cut back to one day a week or something. That would be my first choice.

So besides work and school, not a lot is going on. Been seeing Emma a lot lately. We're gonna get spoiled. We're going on three weekends in a row.. If she comes over for the Cheese Festival (it's going on in Seattle in a couple weeks!! FREE CHEESE!!) then it'll be four weekends in a row. Awesome.

Anyway, I'm sitting at school in the computer lab. I'm bored. I got to school late, decided I'd wait until the break to sneak into class, but then just decided not to go. So I'm in the computer lab burning another half hour before I can go to history class and hopefully get my paper back. Then I hafta make it through political science until I can go home. Then I hafta go to work tomorrow and be with Morgan... -_________-
She's the reason I'm quitting..

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannyhow..

I'm getting a headache... Maybe it's from the Full Throttle I drank this morning.. First one I've had in so long. Probably not good.

Hmm, what else is going on. Jacob's play was this last weekend. It was basically amazing.

I'm going over to Davenport to see the play that Emma's mom is putting on. (The Wizard of Oz). And Emma choreographed it. So yay.

Well I better get to class so I can get a seat in the back of the class. Later guys,
Emma, I love you. Stay beautiful. (4 days).

Well.. Not much is new. Heading off to work soon..

School started. Hooray. Gonna be a couple good classes.

I have the most beautiful and perfect girlfriend.

I'm eating gum.

I just got out of the shower. Which means I'm naked.... Just kidding.. I'm wearing my work uniform. Which is gay.

I guess I should go now.

Yeah..

First off, my Christmas was pretty good. Didn't get anything I asked for. I guess Wal-Mart was out of monkeys... And plastic explosives must have been back-ordered. But oh well.

New Year's Eve was gay as always. Dave came over and we basically played counter-strike, dod, half life, and team deathmatch all night. We were in the middle of a team deathmatch game at midnight, so it was a little lame.
But New Year's morning was the funniest. (Dave, I hope you don't mind me telling this..).. But I wake up to him saying, "Danny, I think your cat just peed on me.." If the first day of the new year is any suggestion as to what the rest of the year has in store for you, Dave is basically corn pwned.

Anyway, the new quarter started. Been going well. My criminal justice class is pretty hardcore. My psychology class is freak'n boring. And my english class is all right. I'm making all right grades. Better than any other quarter so far. Barely making it mentally though. My motivation is near zero, and boredom soars every chance it can.

Right now, my life is in a hole. A very stupid hole.

Not much is going exceedingly well. Mediocre. That's my life.
I'm tired of it. But I'm not really sure how to move on, get out.
I'm safe in my anger, lonliness, sadness, whatever.. It's a shield so I don't get even more hurt. But it's cracking, not really working so well right now.
I can't be with the people that mean a lot to me. And they probably don't care anyway.

And sorry if this turns out to be one of those emo postings. I can't help it. Tonight's been gay. And this week's been hell.

Basically. I'm lonely. Really, really lonely. That's all I can say. I miss having people to hang out with every week. Mostly my fault, since I'm working Friday's and Saturday's. That and I'm anti-social, but enjoy company.... See, doesn't really work out there. And all the cool people live far away. But I'm just lonely. I miss... Well.. Nevermind..

I'm reading a really weird book.. "The Left Hand of Darkness"
It's pretty crazy.

Hmmm.. I'm basically chilling to music.. Imogen Heap is the bomb.
Entertaining the thought of playing counter-strike. But LFGT's empty.
Looking at motorcycles and stuff on craigslist.
Prices are starting to go up though. Kinda gay.

*sigh*

I guess I'll go put my clothes in the dryer and then go to bed. Nothing else to do. No one's around.

Night ya'll.. Take care..

-Dan

on a happier note..
it IS almost Christmas time. but i hafta work on Saturday and Christmas Eve. I volunteered for Christmas Eve, so I guess I shouldn't complain.. But, since i *am* working Christmas Eve, I don't hafta work on either New Year's Eve or New Year's Day... winnar.

i totally forgot why i was gonna update my journal anyway... *shrug* oh well.

dave and i went to davenport on Sunday, got back Tuesday night. that was fun.
we didn't kill eachother or anything..
but yeah, we were visiting some old friends of mine. good times.
and then they're visiting next Friday, so yay.

well i have two new songs. and i'm not sure if i'll put them on here or not. no one seems to read anything i put up anymore, so....

but we'll see...

i like music.

we're borrowing mandy's keyboard/piano thing. *sigh* could've done that a different time, which is a different story... (STUPID #%@#%$# TOOK MY #@%(*(@ING JACK BALL... bitch..)
*ahem*
but i'm having a lot of fun with the keyboard (don't tell her that). but it's a piano/keyboard, so there's no loops or beats or anything. lame.

i like music.

sorry, i'm listening to a lot of music and.. well, you can't explain it. it's just pure passion.

hmmm, Christmas shopping. i got stuff for Jacob, so i'm finished for him. got Michelle's present
i'm still waiting for Dave's present..
i got my sister a couple things, but still need something else.
i got my dad something, but need somethign else.
and.... my mom.. well, i guess she'll just get a hug or something...............................
I'M KIDDING. but i guess i better work on it.

\m/ >< \m/

i think i'll actually go do that. just finish some Christmas shopping. yeah. i'll be back in a while

hmm, i think rtc would work best i guess. latr guys,

a lot.






we have two feet of water down the street. literally two feet. i thought we were gonna swamp when i took jacob to jack in the box. but 116th was closed cuz there was a LOT of water under that bridge, so we went to burger king instead.

with other news.. i'm playing maple story again.. *ducks*

i'm like, 86% to level 46. in a day and a half, i say that's pretty good. considering i've basically been training noobs.
and i'm getting married on maple story too. i know, i'm pitiful. but *shrug* i have nothing better to do. so unless you have another suggestion for me: you're all invited to the wedding!
but you hafta make a character on bera. so HAH.. bera pwns your face..

Not much is new. I was teaching my dad to play Age of Empries II last night. Hah. He.... Kinda picked it up >_>
But Dave and I still pwn.

That and BF: Vietnam. <3

Will: Make sure you have both (with patches) for Saturday. I have all the patches that Dave and I run on, so if you get the wrongs ones or can't find them or something, we'll be okay.
Dave: You need to be there.

School's going well. I have a astronomy test tomorrow, hoorayz. I missed my geography test last Monday, but was able to retake it on Tuesday, so that was nice. Didn't do great on it, but decent. And at least I got to retake it.

Work. Hah. Work. Actually hasn't been awful. No, Tuesday was pretty bad. Morgan. -_- *sigh* Morgan. She thinks it's cool to go hang out in the gym with the child care for the first 15 mintues of her shift. Then she has really long conversations at the front desk with Andrea from child care. It's not that bugs me, it's that while having those conversations, puts me in the position to do all the work while she chats and ignores all members that come in. So that bugs me. Bad work ethic bugs me. *shrug* But Yesterday went well. The first few hours went by really quickly, so that was nice. Even though it was really slow, it still went by quickly, which kinda confuses me. I had a lot on my mind though, so who knows.
And I work this Tuesday and then I get the rest of the week off. And I have next week off too, mostly cuz it's Thanksgiving week and we're going to Oregon, but yeah. That'll be pretty cool I guess. Hah... Oregon... *coughlamecough*

But that also means I'll probably get stuck working Christmas Eve, or New Year's Eve, or New Year's Day. Which would suck.

Blah.

Hah. I got ditched on Friday night too. Lizzy was gonna have me over and whatnot, but then she got called to work as I was driving through Silver Lake. Yeeaaaaah.... Thirty minute drive out there to find out it wasn't gonna work, not too fun. Then Josh was tired so I just went to the gym our company has in Silver Lake, but the girl who used to work at our gym who got transferred to Silver Lake wasn't there.
So kind of a wasted night.

So. Basically. I win the internet.


Happy Feet comes out on Friday. I'm so going. Anyone else wanna go, let me know Leighanne and I wanted to get a bunch of peoples to go see it. Come on, dancing penguins. You can't get any better than that.

My eyes hurts. Like, the lack of sleep type of thing. Considering I got a solid eight hours last night, that leaves me puzzled. Though, going to bed at 4:30am might have something to do with it.

Well, if all ya'll could keep me in prayer, that'd be sweet. I'm kinda dealing with some stuff and would greatly appreciate anything you could give me

I need a shower.

Funny how a night can change.
Funny how a question, an answer, a comment; can change a night.

Funny how a person can change.
How, with the best intentions, things can go wrong.
How, with a simple word; start a war, end a war, gain a friend... Lose a friend.

I was gonna carve a pumpkin tonight. Didn't really get around to it, but it was gonna be the Half Life 2: Deathmatch symbol. If you don't know what it is, it's a stick figure getting hit in the back of the head with a flying toilet. It's awesome. Yes, it would've worked, don't crush my dreams.

Anyway. I think it's time for some sleep.

No, I guess I could sleep. Yeah. I'm gonna sleep.

I don't wanna get sick either.
But I don't really feel like working. So if I do get sick, I can call in sick. Hooray!

Life seems so unfair. So effed up. But I guess there's not much we can do about it.

Basically all I have to say, cuz nothing clean, productive, or sane would come out.

Yeah. Just needed to rant a little.. But I guess I didn't really get to that. But if I tried to rant for "a little bit," then all hell would break loose.

Just dunno how much longer I can take all this..

]]> ~save-the-whales http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/10014863/ http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/10014863/ Fri, 08 Sep 2006 23:48:55 PDT Ahh, another exciting night at work.
But I've also been catching up on my reading. In the past two weeks, I have finished "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe," "Out of the Silent Planet," and most of "The Catcher in the Rye." All of them good books, all of them read within one shift. That's one sitting folks. Or, standing in my case.

Anyway. Since I haven't updated for a couple weeks, thought it might be a good time to do so.

1) I got a kitten. Her name is Emily. As in Emily Rose. She's a calico but has the coloring of a tortise shell, if you're interested. Not a real tortise shell, the cat coloring tortise shell.
2) Uhm.. Actually, I guess that's the only really BIG change so far.

School's starting again soon. Along with that, I'm picking up more hours than I was able to during the summer. Monday and Tuesday mornings as well as Thursday and Friday nights are going to be the typical shifts for me this school quarter. But next week I'm working Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Lamest scheduale evar. But oh well.

I got my van fixed. For those of you who don't know, it broke down. Well.. I kinda broke it. I was driving a tad fast and broke the repairs that were made on the axle. But I blame the faulty repairs on the repairs on the repairs of the axle. But it was fixed. Then we needed to replace the brake pads. But my dad did that for me while I was at work today. So I have my van back! Hooray! But now I hafta worry about gas money again! Boo! So if you wanna hang out, you better be the one coming here, cuz I probably like you, but probably not enough to spend a lot of money driving all over the place

I'm feeling really bad. I almost died at work. I just didn't really eat anything today and that mixed with a rockstar and the large amount of pizza I did eat, isn't really sitting well with me.

I haven't the smallest clue what I'm doing tomorrow, so give me a call or message me or something if you'd like to do something. No promises, but I'll see what I can do.

Anyway, I think the bed is calling my name. That or it's the Halo disk sitting in the PC. Probably the Halo cd...
OOOoooooooooorrrrrrrrr it's the newly installed Worms World Party game... Hmm.. Tempting.. VERY tempting.

!!NBC'S THE OFFICE SEASON 2 COMES OUT ON DVD ON TUESDAY!!

Ya know.. If someone got that for me, I'd probably wet myself with joy. Among other things like henceforth watching the entire season in one sitting.

I think that's all I had to say. Sleep well everyone. ]]> ~save-the-whales http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9854373/ http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9854373/ Fri, 25 Aug 2006 19:02:03 PDT

then we came back here and watched monk and the office.

and yeah. that was more or less my day. i left out a lot cuz i'm really tired. still awake. celebrated my birthday with kaleena (online) and then with skellington (on counter strike :rofl)

so yeah. i've been playing counter strike for the past two hours. owning Will.. sorry Will. just practice with the pistols. but in reality (as much of reality as cs captures, you shouldn't need the pistol all that much.. as long as you have an ak or m4, you SHOULD be able to work with that )

anyway. dunno what i'm doing today (today being the 3rd.)
but it is my birthday. so give me a call and maybe we can hang out or just stop by or call or.. something *shrug*
i don't need any presents, so no worries there. i'd just love spending time with anyone interested
let me know, cuz i'm free basically this entire month. i can't do anything on saturday and sunday might be busy too. but let me know

will's coming over tomorrow for some more gaming. winnar.

what else is new....

oh right, my birthday's in like, 3 days. something like that. i forget lol
i don't really care that much. not really doing anything. i'm getting kidnapped by at least three people over the course of the next two weeks. hanging out with more people in between. going to a party on friday (yay for kristi turning 18!! you can go smoke now! lol... NO, DON'T SMOKE.... there are cooler ways to die, so no smoking for kristi)

"i've got this feeling, that time ain't holding me down"
the finale of footloose has gotta be my favorite song... cuz it basically has all the songs of the show in it. thought i also really like the "dancing is not a crime" song. i really want a dvd of the show too. but it's never the same

okay. i might go to bed now. *shrug* i'm not tired at all.. weird.
oh well. good night! rock on! and... look both ways before you cross the street. cuz... people.. are stupid? ]]> ~save-the-whales http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9485556/ http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9485556/ Tue, 25 Jul 2006 01:42:13 PDT so i'm gonna be gone basically every day this week from 5pm to 10:30 or 11. saturday and sunday will be close to the same.

anyway. let me know if you're interested in tickets at all.

she's an amazing artist. insane. incredible. not usually my type of music, but this is different than anything i've heard before. thanks for the link, lynne

phobialist.com is also very entertaining.. francophobic ROFL..
okay, i'm done. since that wasn't politically correct *gasp* omgeez, i'm going to hell for that..

moving right along.

today was an interesting day to say the least. recovering from Will's visit (let's just say we both drank way past the suggested caffiene intake and got minimal sleep), i was still tired, annoyed, just kinda pissed at the world i guess. to start my morning off, my mom totally flipped out that i had my shift covered tonight (since i'm only schedualed for one shift a week). but i had to get it covered if i wanted to help tech footloose. which i really do. so far, it's been great. some of the people kinda bug me, but nothing's perfect, so what can i expect?..
anyway, she got REALLY mad. like... really really. probably shouldn't get her that mad. she yelled at me to get out of the house (to go to work) and then unplugged my laptop (yanked the power cord from the outlet as i was sitting in the kitchen, watching tv)... didn't really do anything since most laptops uuuuuuuuusually run off a battery too..
anyway, let's just say. going to work was the last thing i wanted to do.

i'll explain. at the gym, there's a ton of matienance that needs to be done. so you call a day ahead and stop by to do some work if you're looking for some more hours. so i'm doing that and making up for lost hours.

anyway. that wasn't really important to know, but i figured it'd be even more confusing if i said i went to work when i had said before that i got work off.. so yeah. my shift was schedualed 3-10:30pm. but i went in around 11 something. i think. i don't even remember.

anyway. i kinda maybe sorta went and just hung out in kirkland? library. waterfront. theater area. yeah. got a cigar or too *cough* hey, i was really stressed and .. yeah. i mean, getting kicked out of the house is a little upsetting, ya know? but yes, you can all hate me forever cuz i'm just so addicted to smoking *that was sarcasm btw*
then went home.

well i get home, and jacob has all his friends over. matt, christian, clark, and ben... yeah, only four of 'em i guess. anyway, they put the sprinkler under the trampoline and were jumping through it. everyone else was throwing apples at them (okay okay, IIIIIIiiiiii was throwing apples at them)..
but we did other stuff too. we cleaned out our pond. they had fun catching all the fish. christian totally owned one with a bucket when he dumped the bucket of water out (with the fish in it that he didn't see) and i went and saved it and threw it towards the pond when christian felt like throwing another bucket of water.. haaaaaaa... that said, the fish bounced off the top of his bucket and fell back into the pond.. he'll be feeling that in the morning.

and we had conversations. i'm glad to say that there are still decent guys out there, ladies. there are still gentlemen. still guys who are willing to wait until marriage.

on another note, my head itches.

oh right, so after the pond and all that, it was time for me to go to the first footloose tech meeting. so i did that. started off well. didn't really get to the 3rd scene (while we were trying to get through the first act.. not happening). had to leave at 9 to get to work (cuz the guy who covered for me from 3-9 had to leave at 9) so i missed about an hour. eh. hate missing that. but oh well.
work was hell too.
i like to be there for at least a couple hours or so to get into the flow of things. getting there and going straight into closing (gym closes at 10:30, got there about 9:15, when i usually start closing around 9, just to get things ready) was kinda annoying. *shrug* made it though

i am so tired. there's a big pile of dishes that i was supposed to do tonight. but i watched tv and ate pasta instead. more uninteresting and pathetic news, i finished the level 40 shumi jump quest. the jump quest from HE... ]]> ~save-the-whales http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9421383/ http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9421383/ Tue, 18 Jul 2006 22:40:04 PDT

but anyway. we get up there. and our family (and ben too) decided to go mini golfing. so we did that. i won. then jacob, ben, and myself decided to stick around the little golf course/fun park and hang out in the arcade area for a while. so my mom gave me $20 for winning the golf game (jacob was being a retard and telling my parents that since our team won -our team being me, ben, and jacob- they should pay us). so we took the $20 and used about $10 on arcades and those ticket games. if you've ever been to funtasia or any fun park things like that, you'll know what i mean. those games where you either drop your coin in and it'll land on a certain square or ... i dunno.. anyway, basically all those little games of luck that give you tickets. well i took one of my coins and played a game where you roll it down a ramp (the ramp's moving) and try to hit a lever on one of four little dump trucks, which have been filled by countless other people who missed the lever. well i just stuck one in and BAM. hit the dump truck that was the fullest. so all the coins dumped into the bottom where each coin gave me 5 tickets. so after like 10 minutes of waiting for all the tickets to stop coming out, i got 520 tickets. it was great. so ben, jacob, and i bought two flaming rubber ducks (basically a black rubber duck with little flames on it, pretty darn cool if you ask me), a hacky sack, and 10 airheads... oh yes, we were classy.

crkt. crkt is the brand of knife i bought yesterday. jacob and ben and i were walking around after a hike. we went to the custom knife store and hung around there for a while. jacob bought a knife and so did i. [link] there's a picture of my knife. crkt side hog. mine doesn't have the little loopy thing on the end though.

58 is the size in inches of the tv that we had avaliable to us. we played xbox and watched a bunch of movies. jacob and i watched "Star Wars: Ewok Adventures" last night too. Wicket the ewok had lazy eye and looked pretty darn creepy. the little girl was a little too cute to believe. and overall, it was a pretty weird movie, but hey, can't pass up ewoks, right?

anyway. that about wraps up my entire time at leavenworth. visiting for a day would've been fine for me. but we stayed at a friends house so that was cool. anyway, that's about all i have to say, cuz i'm really not feeling well and i'm gonna go sleep or take a shower.

oh, and if anyone wants to do something tomorrow, lemme know.

IT'S REALLY HOT HERE.

oh yeah, and i got pretty tan at leavenworth too. bwahaha. winnar. ]]> ~save-the-whales http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9132185/ http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9132185/ Tue, 20 Jun 2006 23:44:01 PDT

man. it's weird having it get real dark, then real bright again. it's not even 6 but it's still lighter than it was when i took my 20 minute break for dinner last night.

whee. well i've managed to stay up until now. hopefully i won't crash before the movie or anything. i should go jog down to the gym and work out a bit. i could even shower there. hmm.. i COULD. and i feel fat. but i don't think i could jog. i'd probably end up walking. man. i'm kinda tired. though the energy vitamin water helped. and i bought a case of zipfizz from costco, so if my parents leave it here instead of taking it up to leavenworth this morning, then i'll survive today.

oh, btw, for those of you who don't know, i'm going to leavenworth thursday morning and coming back on monday. i'm taking my laptop, so i should still be around, just not as much. my parents are leaving for leavenworth this morning though. probably in the next 3 hours or so. but i dunno.

anyway. i think i'm gonna go take a shower. put some clothes in the wash for later today. and by kinda productive.

oooh yeah. final grades for this quarter: C in geology (gonna email the teacher about that -__- ), B- in sociology (yay), and a C in english 201: the research paper. eh. i fail at school. i'm just not cut out for it. *shrug*
there are worse things in life i suppose.

man.. the sky is beautiful... the crisp, cool breeze.. not quite a breeze, but breezett or something.. i dunno.. it's really nice. you should try it sometime. not staying up an entire night to feel it, but get up early and go look outside. smell the new day. beautiful ^_^

and now off i go. shower. breakfast. say bye to my parents. celebrate. wash some clothes. go pick up chef. drop her off at the theater. go pick up leighanne. go back to the theater. watch the movie. hang around there for a while. then go meet dave 'n them all for dinner at the dirty bird. then maybe hang around there, meet up with ashley and laura and maybe even megan. (CAC, represent!) and yeah. rock on.

have a great day. \m/ ]]> ~save-the-whales http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9122399/ http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9122399/ Tue, 20 Jun 2006 03:35:59 PDT

CALL ME.. we'll go do something. i'm free now, so hit me up anytime. ]]> ~save-the-whales http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9071855/ http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9071855/ Wed, 14 Jun 2006 22:58:04 PDT

on that note, guess what?! our membership office closed early today at the gym. so i was basically the highest ranking employee there, (since i've been working there the longest out of megan and bryan)... so anyone who came in and wanted a tour, i was their guy. so anyway, anyone who does a tour, gets to sign their name by the guest waiver that the guest signs when they come in for the tour. and if that guest decides to join and become a member, then the person who signed the waiver gets $20. well i got six tours today.. six. YEAHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. and i KNOW that at least one is gonna join, cuz he's with microsoft and they get a free membership through microsoft anyway. so that's at least and extra $20 for me. and i made a really good impression on at least another two. and i had fun doing it. so yeah. i might be getting some extra cash next payday. yay.

uhm. school's done tomorrow. i have a two hour geology final tomorrow morning from 9:30-11:20. and a two hour sociology final from 1:something to 3:something. so if you could keep me in prayer, that would be amazing ^_^

now i get to study. but i hafta pee first. so pee, then study. then sleep. if that makes its way into my priorities. which it might not. but oh well.

good night little people. rock on another day. ]]> ~save-the-whales http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9041852/ http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9041852/ Sun, 11 Jun 2006 22:44:19 PDT

but let's just all agree that jedi's would pwn all of them
and dark jedi's are tons better, cuz they're cooler and they have better costumes.




man.. one of those days that starts out bad, gets better, gets a little worse, gets a little better, then totally burns and crashes into a giant fireball that engulfs the very living breath out of you and your own spit flies out of your mouth, grabs you by the side of the head and slaps you type ending of a day. hooray. ]]> ~save-the-whales http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9008302/ http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/9008302/ Thu, 08 Jun 2006 11:35:01 PDT uhm. saw the omen the other day. hahahah, such a weird movie. not bizzare like see no evil. that one was just messed up. anyway, it was actually a really well done movie. pretty good scare parts in it too.

uhm. i got a 25 cent raise at work. whee. 8.75...... not bad

now for a second job, hmmmmmm...

well i'm at school. got up late so i had to run out the door pretty quick. jacob had a friend spend the night and he drove himself. but i get up this morning the car he drove was gone. but his shoes were still at the door. so... maybe that's a bad thing..
.....

maybe..

anyway. i'm done now.

i dropped a giant water jug at work tonight. it broke open. spilled all over the place. this is like, an 8 gallon thing. holds a lot more water than it looks, i'll just say that. so i had to clean that up. probably won't dry for 4 months. but oh well.
ha. way to go danny. right before my requested review. woo..

*SNEEZE*

i love swing dancing btw.

my hands are stained with the smell of aftershave. it's gross.

anyway. i'm out.

good night cruel world.

rock on. ]]> ~save-the-whales http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/8838941/ http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/8838941/ Sun, 21 May 2006 20:24:05 PDT
flashback/.
So we loaded into the cars for the field trip and made our way to the second stop, which was above the freeway off to the side. So I started not feeling well. Which ALWAYS happens to me in the morning, which is weird. But then I started getting major stomach cramps. Then I started sweating a ton and my ears starting ringing to the point where I couldn't hear anything. Then my vision started going and I could barely see straight. Well, I couldn't see straight. These little blacks blobs started showing up and so I had to sit down for a bit. So I'm crouching by the side of the road while the teacher's giving his lecture about some rock formation. But no one noticed that I was dying, so *shrug* Oh well..
Anyway, it was scary. Cuz I thought for sure I was gonna pass out.

Just wanted to share that with all of you.

So considering I've drank a LOT of energy drinks in the past 48 hours, I'm swearing off energy drinks until...... Well... As long as I can last. Until I see the need to reintroduce them into my life ]]> ~save-the-whales http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/8832399/ http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/8832399/ Sun, 21 May 2006 06:55:57 PDT
energy drinks i've consumed since friday:
-rockstar
-full throttle x2
-red bull x2
-bawls x2
-zip fizz (one tube)
-sobe: no fear

...

yes, i'm probably gonna die young.




but i'll be happy. ]]> ~save-the-whales http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/8825390/ http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/8825390/ Sat, 20 May 2006 11:58:45 PDT
okay. so basically, i skipped classes in the morning and got up around 11:30am. i was bored so i called Cameron to see if he wanted to do something later that night, like.. REALLY later. so he said sure, then i asked him what he was doing until then, he said nothing. so i was bored, he was bored. so he picked me up and we drove into rtc. we checked the movie times and found one that sounded interesting. so we went and got lunch, then came back for the movie. "see no evil."

...

most messed up movie ever. freak'n disturbing. that's all i have to say. don't see it.

after that, it was about 4:05 and Ari was at work, so we stopped by. and she was all paranoid cuz she thought Cameron had something to do with me kidnapping her that night. so then Cameron and i went to costco.. i bought "the office" season 1 and a camel bak thing. then we went back to my house and he left to hang out with Martha. so i hung around the house for an hour or so and then Ari called, cuz she got off work early. so since i hadn't really had anything planned for an hour and a half, we ended up driving around in big circles. though we did get starbucks. i'm sure Ari hates me now for it...
but then i finally took her to the gym where i bought her a massage. then we were gonna hang out some more and watch a movie, but her mom wanted to go home early. so we were at blockbuster when we found out and walking out when Jacob and his friends walk in. thanks for destroying my night, Christian..

then i took her to meet her mom. went home. was depressed and kinda pissed off for a while. then Ashley and Laura showed up after brining Heather home. so that was kinda fun. so by this time, it was pretty dern late. but they were hungry, so Cameron and i decided to tag along. we got starbucks, then Cameron and i went and got mc donalds, then met Ashley and Laura at safeway. then they invited us back to the house they're staying at so we went over there and watched a movie with 'em. by the time it was over, it was 4:30am. so Cameron and i left and got back to our house and asleep around 5ish. but crazy night. hooray for spontaniousnus. however you spell that... i don't know.

so i'm working off a rockstar, a sobe, a red bull, and around 5 hours of sleep.. sWEeeeeeeeeeeeett...

uhm. i get to go to a party at marymoore today. should be interesting.

i like this song.

Ari.. i hope you enjoyed last night. i did. heh, up until a point. but really, i'm good now. hope the massage was relaxing.



...
as i drink my full throttle..
i sit here on my bed..
listening to superchick..
wishing i was at the tfk, superchick, hawk nelson concert..
but i wouldn't have traded yesterday or last night for anything..
except maybe some decent sleep.

so the pastor of the main service is pastor ken hutcherson. he, and antioch, agree that homosexuality is a sin and a choice. they shouldn't be considered a minority and have minority rights.

well he's coming to bcc and talking. so i'm sitting in my english class and the teacher just brought it up. so everyone's like, "omg, there's an anti-gay speaker coming to bcc" and the teacher said something (or was quoting someone's email) like, "now we're inviting bigots to bcc"...

okay.





cool. ^_^

*shrug* just thought that was funny. everyone was getting upset. and i'm sitting here in the back by myself... " Yeah.. that's my church.. that's my pastor *nods* " ]]> ~save-the-whales http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/8788274/ http://save-the-whales.deviantart.com/journal/8788274/ Tue, 16 May 2006 12:39:30 PDT

*cough* i'm not bitter..

i have a cup of noodles. so i'm good.
and i was falling asleep in geology. it was REALLY bad. like when i fell asleep on the bus yesterday. i was in the very back. so i couldn't lean to the left or right. so i fell asleep and sorta woke up leaning WAY to the right. so weird. people musta been looking at me weird. not like they don't anyway.
