9:47 pm - weeks 9 and 10
|
on account of being so busy, i didn't write last week. and frankly, i don't feel like writing right now. but i'll want this later, so i'll do it.
i worked about 75 hours this week. and none of those were today, i got sunday off. last week, i think it was around 55. yuck!! stupid projects...i'm so glad the play is over. it was a good experience, but i don't want anything more to do with plays or musicals. ever. now, all i have to worry about is a project which will be easy, and it's a month away. yesssss. one good thing about the past few weeks though, is i've made some friends finally! i feel a lot more comfortable asking people from work to hang out. i'm still the intern, and not on their level, but it's closer now than ever. and a few people from the play are actually cool. and i found my long lost wingman. lee just can't cut it. dan's the man. last night we had 7 wins at beerpong before finally losing. that's what i'm talkin about.
i get to see kadi wednesday! i so need to see her. we've had a really shitty few weeks. i've been super busy with work, and haven't had the time to put the same time into her that we're accustomed to. so she was wanting more, and i was wanting support from her because i was super busy and cranky from things. it was messy. it still is messy. but hopefully this time together will clear things up completely. we're on the home stretch of this whole summer thing. i just want her to be happy and sound happy and act happy and have no bad thoughts for us. i don't know what i have to do to get that back, but i intend to.
oh yeah. i'm super pissed at my boys from home. they were all "we're definately coming down", but a: i had to make all the arrangements, and talk to them all, and they didn't communicate amongst themselves, and 2: when it came down to crunch time, and full pulled out, they all did. and only trevor called me to tell me they weren't coming. i guess i just feel like if you really want to do something, you figure out a way to do it. may it be saving money for a few months, making changes to the arrangements, whatever. and if you don't...you don't. i think my feelings were hurt. i'm such a pussy sometimes.
may the next week go 25 times better than this week did.

9:57 pm - week 8, a two day project
|
halfway done with this summer! it's both good and bad, just depends on the angle you stare it down at. i love things here, i'm having a great time, i'm learning both job wise and life wise. i'm missing home, and the people i'm closest to. the longer i go, the more i need them, but also the more i realize i'm good to go myself.
i need to see kadi. i decided a month is about what my limit is. i miss her and all the things she brings and gives. and i miss giving her that too. no one can replace her to me. i really really hope she realizes that, cause sometimes i think we fall away from that, and she needs to know. i need to show her. it's looking more and more like i'm going to get to visit her in a few weeks and go to wisconsin! i'm pumped! i love traveling, and when it's for such a good cause, how can i say no? i'm also really proud of myself, because i'm on a really tight budget right now, yet i worked hard and extra and saved to buy a plane ticket. i'm really bad at saving, so this was a step in the right direction. i just needed a little motivation.
my fam is here right now! i actually needed a little break, so i jumped on here, but it's great to see my dad and bros. i love seeing my dad having a good time. it's something i could have seen more growing up, so i'm really glad it's happening and i helped get him down here, because my brothers really need it.
work's been alright lately, but i'm about to go into a really tough two weeks. well, i'm already in it, but i get tomorrow, the 4th off, so i don't count it starting until wednesday. i was so pissed at bradley the other day...he told lee to take the band back to the airport at 5:45 in the morning, and put him in charge of it. okay fine, but lee doesn't have the means (a small car) to take 3 guys and all their equipment anywhere. bradley told him he had to be at the park a bunch on sunday for the play, so he should ask me to help. ummmmmmm excuse me, i have to be there for the play too? what a dick. i heard he went out that night and drank. he's really irresponsible sometimes, and i don't appreciate it. i don't mind having to do some of the shitty jobs, like get up and to a hotel at 5:45am, but at least ask me a day, maybe two in advance instead of telling someone to ask me merely a few hours before (we got done with our game at 10pm saturday night). ugh. i did a good job of letting him know i was upset but not actually creating controversy though. i have to work with him a lot this week and next between usa baseball and the play. i don't need to have problems.
at this mid-ish point of the summer, i think i have much left to do, however i've accomplished a lot. well...lets rephrase. the day i left for here, i didn't think i'd get to the point i'm at right now at all. not work wise, learning wise, independence wise...however, i've changed my goals. i can do better. at the end of this summer, i think i will be grown up. i will learn more, i will work harder, and i will come back ready for anything. and probably most importantly, i will come back ready to go get anything.
whew, what's gettin into me...

i'll start by getting my philosophical on. life is a learning process. the people who are good at it find the right balances of learning what is needed. we keep learning forever and ever. the more we can pick up, and the quicker we can do it, the easier things are. however, like i was saying with balances, sometimes by learning slower, we pick up other things along the way that we wouldn't have otherwise. it's all a balance.
hehe. anywho, as i sit here in my oh so cluddered room, on quite a few fronts things are really coming together. i'm cementing final plans for the rest of the summer, including my dad and bros coming down in a week (i hope i still remember to write in this while they're here!), my boys comin down in 3 weeks, and headin back to the midwest to see my girl in around 4 weeks. i like having plans like this, and having them set. i'd been trying for weeks to get my boys to come down, and it wasn't working right. today we broke through, and they're coming for sure--only a few details left to fit in. i have to figure out my money situation for them being here and me getting up to see kadi...which might be rough. i'll figure out a way though, i always do!
work rocks. this week shouldn't be too bad, sort of the calm before the storm. after this week, i have 3 projects in two weeks, i'm going to nearly be living there. and when i'm not, i have people visiting, so i'm gonna be super busy! it's fun though. about a month ago i was bored because i was sitting around here a lot and not doing much. i'd much rather be on the go and super busy-because then there's days like today where i have nothing to do, and it is awesome. i'm just relaxing, i think i'll go on a run/walk later on, now that this hangover is gone! i went out last night, it was fun. it really wasn't anything special, i just needed it.
i decided i really hope the pelicans offer me a job for next year. i wouldn't be able to come down until after school gets out, same as this year, but i think it'd be my best bet to get experience. i'm not going to be able to find a full time job starting in may. i'm going to look at all my options, but i guess i really hope they offer me one just so i get a boost of knowing that i'm wanted? i think i'm doing a good job here, but thinking it and them saying it are two different things. who knows if i'd take the job...i just want it as an option.
i'm happy right now. if i could change a few things, it'd only be to be closer to the people i care about. but i came down here to figure things out for myself, and i think i'm accomplishing that. i'm not done yet, but i think i'm ahead of schedule.
quick bitchy section: i got a new car tuesday, a saturn ion. it broke down saturday. that's my luck. it's brand new, 700 miles on it total. i'm getting a rental car tomorrow, and figuring out what's wrong with mine. i need a name for her. hmm. how about if she works for two weeks straight, then i'll name her? ugh.
money is a huge issue for me. i'm going to have to find a dicent job in mt. pleasant this year. like, 20 hours or so. i would really like to be a server. i think i'd be good at making tips. you know, these sexy brown eyes and my great butt. or something like that. i hope i can get through the summer, it's just hard with car and phone and apartment payments. i'm going to be doing this for the rest of my life though, so i might as well get used to it now.
this turned out to be pretty long. i guess that's what semi-rainy days to. i feel good though :)
current mood:  happy

10:59 pm - week 6
|
i don't know how and where to start. when i wrote "week 6" in the subject line, i realized i've been here for 6 weeks...whew! it's gone fast and slow...i mean, i've learned a ton at work, but i don't feel like it's been 6 weeks. and i miss people like crazy, but it doesn't feel like i've seen them all in the past 2 months.
this week started off slow- i didn't work monday, and tuesday i worked for an hour due to a rainout. however, i ended up with over 40 hours on the week, including 15 hours yesterday that i did nearly everything one employee can do on one day. i'm learning a lot about the people i work with- you know, that past the first layer kind of learning- it's interesting. i'm finding a good balance of sitting back and observing yet also asserting myself sometimes as well. i think that's the best way, because i don't want to come off as all-knowing or bossy, because that's not what being an intern is all about. but also, i want to show them that i don't have a problem speaking my mind or showing a little ambition. it's only going to get better, and i really like where it's going.
kadi and i just finished a great talk. we're so good at communicating now. it's taken so much hard work, but we're good at it now, the good, the bad, all of it. it's a great feeling to know that she's got my back all the time, when down here i don't feel that feeling too often otherwise. she made a good point tonight talking about how we're doin things together and separately and making us stronger, and i agree totally. times like these are going to make the future that much better.
pops is comin down! i'm so stoked...this kind of thing doesn't happen...ever. my bros are going to love it, i would have loved to do something like this with him when i was younger. i hope he doesn't get fed up with them and get grouchy. i'm hoping to give him a great time so that he gets more involved with things. i got them to come down for one of our best games, which is sweet, they'll get to have a good time starting off before we get to spend some good time together. he can also get an idea what i do down here and see how i roll by myself.
super tired, another long day tomorrow (except way easier). i may break the every week barrier this week to write again, i feel like i'm forgetting thoughts i'll want to have later.

9:04 pm - week 5

fun, busy week! we only had a games on monday-wednesday, but still ended up playing 37 innings. wow. did a little secretary work on thursday and friday. i can cross that off my "i might do that as a career" list. what a nightmare. one thing that sucks about work, is that frequently there's very little direction with what we're supposed to do. i didn't have a key to unlock the door, or the code to turn off the alarm that was constantly beeping.
i did however go out on friday night with people from work. we hit up a bar that had great wings, then went to broadway for awhile. i didn't stay out too late, but i did drink a fair share. only twice all summer! i'm not sure if i'm changing because i have to or i want to or what.
i went and looked at an ion yesterday. i'm in a major "can i budget this" mindset. i'd really like it though...we'll see what i can figure out the next few days. ol black beauty doesn't have too much time left.
i've been talking with a lot of people about coming down, and it's looking like july is gonna be a crazy busy month. i have a ton of stuff to do for work that month, and i'll have visitors almost every week (except for one, where i might take off!)
that's about all...i'm spending less time in the apartment, however i've been working out less. i need to get back on that.

12:20 am - shit! i forgot to update sunday! week 4...
|
so it's monday night, and we just had a 14 inning game. so long, and my feet hurt. i don't expect this to get too in detail.
kadi came down!!! it was wonderful :). we got in a fight, and i bet it will probably go down as one of the best things to ever happen to us. just one of those times where realizations were made and it put us completely on the same page. we had the best time together, i loved it. so good. i'm still excited about it, and it happened a week ago.
work's been worky. we're getting new owners tomorrow, so things might get shaken up. my pelicans discount went down from 40% to 30% today, which sucks, cause i was gonna get pops a jersey.
now that i've seen kadi, who was my number 1 and 1a person to get down here this summer, i'm starting to work on getting others. if you're reading this, you're probably invited. i'd love to have some friends come down to go out, chill, all of the above. it'd be great times. however, i don't have nearly as much time as i thought i would. i have my nights after 10 (except 14 inning nights like tonight), and i usually have some morning hours, but not a ton. i don't want to have a few friends mosey on down for 3 days, and only spend late nights and one day with them. that'd be super shitty.
and how could i forget my car situation...i'm now in the market for a new car. why? because ol black beauty is in rough shape. i'm looking at ions mostly right now, but that could change. i'm also trying to get all of my money situations and school situations intact, and there's a lot of them.
that's me, and i'm tired. goodnight. i'll be better next week, i schweah.

10:02 am - week 3
|
so i'm writing in here, so far every sunday, without looking at my previous entries. that may be good or bad, tbd. i do remember last week's ending on "i really hope kadi can come visit" or something to that nature. my wish was granted!! she is arriving in only a short hour or so, and i am mega pumped :). i hope this is just what i need- a chance to be with her and enjoy everything that we have together. we've had so many nothing fights lately, it's just become somewhat of a pain sometimes to talk. we're both feeling it, so i hope together we can do this. i really hope.
as far as work goes, i was there for 13 hours yesterday...ugh! i love it there, but that's one long day. first, i had my first rehearsal for the play. bradley, matt (two of my bosses) and i met the cast and directors and stuff. i'm basically one of the point guys- what they need, i get it. i had to run around to five different places (during black bike week, mind you) looking for rat pack dvds. no dice. then we had a double header, and there were a few major problems, but we finally got through the day. what i really like about the people i work with, is that no matter how long the day or how many problems we're encountering (problems such as 3 tickets were issued for the same seat, or we don't have a working atm machine because someone tried to steal it so instead we have to give them paper money in exchange for their credit cards), everyone stays in high spirits, and can still have a laugh at the end of the day. i finally got some information about my roadtrip on friday, which was good, and after tonight i should be all good to go for tomorrow.
other than work and trying to plan for kadi's arrival, not a whole lot to speak of this week. i'm still addicted to 24, however i've realized it's not a good show. i'm just addicted and can't stop watching them. i also realized i'm gonna be tons busier with my internship than i originally thought, so planning things for people to come down will be rough. i think it'l be okay though- just because i'm at work for 5,6 hours doesn't mean people don't want to come down and do something else during that time.
here goes this week!!

2:52 pm - week 2

i'm going to watch the pistons in game 7 vs the cavs here soon, so i don't have a ton of time. week two was both better and worse than week one. i got a temp job where i do whatever they ask me to do, and i did some lawn maitenance on friday. i like it, and hopefully i can find time to do this maybe once or twice a week. the internship is way better as well. i'm doin all sorts of stuff there, the bitch work, but also the projects that they completely trust me with. i'm excited to be there this week and learn and do more. i went to blockbuster and started renting mad copys of 24...hehe, it's what i do. other than that, i haven't done much. i've been working out 6 days a week, which is really good for me. if i keep this up all summer, i'll be really happy with myself, and it'l show. i went out friday night with everyone from work-what i thought earlier is very true: my bosses are fun. they honestly might know tucker max. we went bowling, and the interns beat the other lanes 3 straight times...we'll have bragging rights for a few weeks. we went out later, and that wasn't quite as fun. i wore my billups jersey out, and took a lot of heat for it, but i represented well. i made a lot of friends though too! some guy was like "dude, you played well tonight...but i'm from cleveland, and you will lose game 7". i said "thanks, but there's no way". oh, and i got kicked out of the club for wearing my jersey. meh, i was leaving anyway. yesterday i went and saw davinci code with jessica. not much of a social time, but it was a decent movie.
the last few days, i've felt homesick for the first time. i started missing people a week ago, but i really felt icky yesterday. you don't realize how good it is to have people around until they aren't here. besides lee (who is in columbia w/ his gf this weekend), i don't have any friends here. i mean, i'm "friends" with people from work, but not call eachother up lets do this kind of friends. perhaps soon enough. i think it's prolly overall good for me though, i can learn alot from this situation to learn about myself and see what i'm made of.
kadi's been the biggest help so far...predictably (sp?). we're stupid fighting a lot though. it comes from a lot of things, but i think what it breaks down to is that we miss eachother, and because of that and how we're separately feeling, we argue about other things and aren't meshing correctly. i think it's something we can fix though, and we will. i sososo hope she can come down to visit...
pistons are on, until next week. come visit me.

12:56 pm - week 1
|
i've been here a week. it's been both eventful and uneventful at the same time. first, a rundown. i got here sunday, had to wait 45 minutes for lee to get here to let me in. i sorta unpacked my stuff, and realized lee brought a lot more stuff than i did. our tv is huge. i watched the stones and greys, and inbetween lee and i hit walmart and i picked up food for the week. monday i started work. i love it there! at first, i was disappointed because i was working in the hot zone with a few high school girls and a few old men. i went in with a really good attitude though, and i had a fun time. i just love being at the park...that atmosphere is what i want to be in for the rest of my work life. on thursday i got real good news- a position opened up that one of the interns moved into, and i got moved into a full time intern spot...so good. i worked on saturday for this extra play thing, and it was sweet cause i was their little bitch intern, and i didn't even care. water? sure...need me to haul some chairs? no problem. it didn't phase me at all. on the other hand though, i was getting so bored this week. during the day (i didn't work til around 5:30) i just sat around, went for a run almost every day, got addicted to 24 in a span of 2 1/2 hours (i'm gonna need to borrow someone's dvd's), and thought about kadi. i miss her like mad crazy. i told her the other day that i'm happy here, but if she was around it'd only add, because my happiness is coming from work; an area of my life where she wouldn't be involved in. it'd be nice...but so would a million dollars, a new car, a new computer, and my own personal airplane. i have good days and bad days about us. some days, i don't have a worry in the world---those are mostly days where i'm happily busy, we've talked enough-i feel like i know what's goin on in her life even though i'm not there-and..yeah, just good days. then there's others where i'm bored, i haven't talked to her, i don't know what's goin on, and i just get thinking. i've developed this thing of thinking negatively first, then having to get myself out of it by saying "that's stupid". it's really annoying. i find more often than not, if i just give things time without jumping to conclusions or getting upset, things work themselves out. i'm learning to trust her more and more, which is a good thing.
i miss everyone back home though as well. the same kind of thing with kadi, i'd love to have some of my boys here to go golfing with after work or out with or play video games with. i miss having the constants of shib and kevin around. and davey too. i can't wait for full and tof and abraham to come down, they said they would for sure to visit. anyone else is welcome and a bunch others said they might, but i'm not counting on it. it's a long trip and with gas how it is and time how it is, i probably wouldn't be able to do it if i were home. i haven't talked to my mom much, i plan on calling her soon seeing it's mothers day. my dad though, i've talked to alot. it's really cool and made me feel great- so many times in my life he's seemed to not care much. but yesterday i was talking to him--he had told me before this call that he wanted a pelicans hat--so i was telling him the styles and told him we have jerseys and t's and all sorts of stuff, and he said he might want an authentic pelicans jersey- i told him they are expensive, and this wouldn't be my last job, and he said "yeah, but i'd like a jersey for the team my son works for" ...maybe just a simple little statement, but it made me feel really good. that feeling i don't get alot.
i'd give this week a b. i miss kadi, but we'll be alright. i don't have any friends here, but i went out to eat friday night with people from work, including a few bosses, and we all had a good time. they seem very relaxed outside of work, and i hope i get the chance to chill and go out with them more. lee's coo, but he's a weird cat sometimes. sometimes he's very helpful and fun, other times he's very reserved and unapproachable. to be determined with him. i met another intern, jessica, and she seems fun. she has a great accent. i hope i don't pick up any of this southern junk, but i know i will. i need another source of cash. i'm gonna look into this even more this week, as we don't have a home game. hopefully i will also write in this once a week from now on.

i really want to start writing here again. not for anyone to learn about me, or stay updated with my life...but for me. so i can get my thoughts down on paper, hopefully take my own advice and learn from my own mistakes...plus it was fun when i looked back at this time last year and checked out what was goin on. anywho...
this is my life overall: i'm happy and lucky to be where i'm at. i just celebrated my birthday a few weeks ago..it went well. i'm a believer that after you turn 21, there shouldn't really be a planned celebration. so i didn't throw out a "lets have a party" or any fun stuff like i did last year...we'll do that again, just not because of my birthday. i have this amazing girl who i've dated for almost a year now...and i'm still working on trying to appreciate her in all the ways she deserves. we're still learning everyday, and everyday something gets alittle better. i love it that way. i've been on a health kick as of late...working out at least 4 times a week, eating better (sometimes i'd go as far as eating healthy), that kinda thing...it's for a variety of reasons...i can't lie, alittle is the whole spring break thing...but mostly it's for me. i want to feel good. i don't feel bad now...but i can be better. i'm still on that better kick about...almost everything.
my rents have been a dissapointment as of late for me. both of them forgot to call me on my birthday. i mean, who does that? i expect it from my dad---a very not cool thing in itself---but then my mom did it too. i haven't really talked to them since, and i know i should, but it doesn't feel right. i'm bitter, i want them to show me that they still care. i don't need alot.
i'm still trying to get my internship for this summer. i upped the anty in the past week, i'd love to have it secure in the next few weeks, for sure before spring break. it's essential to me getting out of here in time. NOW. i need it NOW. school is...school. i'm going to most of my classes, i need a few better study habits...but i'll be okay.
i haven't visited anyone lately. in the fall, i was at western, michigan, msu, some more than once...i did go to msu for a night a few weeks back i guess...but i want to plan more "lets go" stuff. i just have to be weary of money. it's fine now, but every semester i'm out at the end, and i really don't want that to happen this time.
i need to remember the good things in my life...there are alot, some way more important than others...but alot. they influence me in good ways when i let them, so i need to---and keep out the bad. it's important to look at things for what they are, and deal with them the same way. sometimes i let these little things bug me way too much...and i'm better than that. hehe, i said better again...

update: go.
i'm lovin life right now. i have everything i want going for me. i'm leaving some stuff behind...some for reasons, some just because i know it'l be around later, and i don't really "mean" it. does that make sense? eh. i wish i could bottle feelings....and when i'm feelin down, take a chug of this feeling, and boom i'm back to this. ...yeah i think everyone wants that.
my chips suck at football, as do my MEEchigan wolverines...too bad. i'm still watchin. my roommates rock, i'm lovin livin here. dave's the wildcard though....we get along great, and i love chillin w/ him. he bought this encyclopedia of every college football game ever played...yeah we give eachother quizzes.
kadi's so awesome. this is the feeling i've wanted to get when i think of her all along. just gotta sustain it. we're going camping next weekend..it's gonna be so cold...
classes are coo, except i got bit by the lazy bug this week...oops. better luck next week.
tof came up last week, it was awesome seein him. he's one of those i left behind but didn't mean to people. more good times lie ahead.
msu/um this weekend in east lansing...i'll be in the area, but not the game. lookin for some good times w/ jonny and mikey and whoever else we find.
things i love: when you do something, and there's not necessarily consequences later, but you laugh about it later. example: a sweatshirt got left here, i claimed it as mine, i then started wearing it, 2 weeks later kasey klump yelled at me online cause she saw me in it the night before. hehe....i'm wearing it right now...
my friend caroline hooked me up with a band called "the spill canvas" ....i think i dig. alot.
good talk.

i hate not being able to sleep lately. i toss and turn, i get like 4 good hours and however many really bad hours. it's not working for me, and something needs to change.
we're gonna be okay...but i'm sick of saying that. i just want it to be okay. i feel sick of working towards things, only to either get impatient and not give them a chance to work and change. this is what a relationship is: to work together and make things better all the time. but damn it's hard right now.
besides that, things are goin pretty well. i'm so happy with the roomies (as i knew i would be). we're havin a blast almost every day. we're in the midst of building our bar, once it gets done, watch out. it's just hard finding time for everyone to do stuff. i myself have been involved in every project, whereas everyone else has helped here and there. not a huge deal, cause i like doing things like that...but still. i love our neighbor situation :). the girls next door toilet papered us the other night, we immediately retaliated with water balloons. it's now war, and i give my word we will not come up short :). classes are straight up boring, it's gonna be hard to really focus and get into them. i have a bet with kadi on who's gonna do respectively better, but there's no stakes yet. that needs to be fixed.
it's funny how everything comes back to her. i didn't even mean for that last idea to come out. it just did. when things are good with her, i'm on top of the world. when they aren't......i'm not. i hope i get up there soon.

well then
alot of things have changed since my last post, including: where i live, what i do with my time like 31235 times, who i'm chillin with...okay i guess that's mostly it, but it's alot. i moved up to school a few weeks ago, today were first classes. they weren't bad, but it's gonna be a really boring semester. i wanna make some sort of bet with kadi involving grades...i do better with things if there are stakes. but we've yet to make anything up. that way i'll do well whether i win or lose. it's sorta important.
i partied so mad last week, it was redunkadunk. i'm glad i did, i met a bunch of people, had a great time...but i'm slowin up majorly. i feel like i hit some sort of wall, not like i want to stop partying...but i wanna move on to something. hmm...more on this later.
kadi came back to me the other day :) i missed her like crazy, as you might remember. i'm excited, we can be so much, i just have to be patient with a few things, we need to both get better at some stuff, and there can be nothing to stop us.
so jonny and i decided we're tryin out for the club tennis team. and then dave did too. tryouts start tomorrow, should be interesting. if we play well (i speak of jonny and me, cause i've only seen dave play once and i don't know his style) we can make it...but if we don't, i don't think either of us have a chance. we shall see though! if we do, bigger celebration thursday night besides waso's 21st birFday at midnight.
big football game friday night, i don't know anyone who won't be there. except kevin. i hate kevin. but i'm so stoked!
and now bed. g'night.
current mood:  sleepy

makin the best of the last 2 weeks here in town...hangin out like crazy, had a birthday at the comedy club/bar the other night. chilled at tOf's last night, tomorrow we're gonna do alittle thirsty thursday at olds park, oh i'm golfing w/ my boss too. hurray free golf. this weekend are tOf's races, i'm pumped cause i think a bunch of people are goin, it should be a good time. i got our 3 on 3 team goin, we need some practice i think...no i'm sure we do. but hopefully we can at least win a few games. if we play together we have the talent to do well. i'm working every day...literally...but if i stay productive when i'm not--either chillin w/ friends and doin fun stuff or getting things done before i go to school...i don't really mind it. even though i'm basically sick of work altogether, i'll miss it.
jonsey got home yesterday, i got to see him for awhile, it was coo. i missed him like crazy. oh. my mom's peacing out tomorrow for like a week. partyish here saturday night after tOf's races. yay.
does anyone have the power to take clips from dvd's and put them on a computer, so i can later mess around w/ them and put them on my own made dvd later? i don't know if it's possible w/ dvd's...but i'd like to.
oh, apparantly i'm negative, frequently complaining, yet i lack emotion in my life.
for those of you who know me only by live journal...which is no one...that might seem...half right.
silly accusations.

happy july. so i just read my last entry, and alot has changed in just a week. well, not literally, but it has. i didn't get that job...they never hired anyone, what bullshit. so i'm stuck doin this ice cream thing the rest of the summer, and having very very little money to do anything. however, i do need to change somethin. so this weekend after work saturday night i'm headin up north. first stop: lake city. chillin w/ the boys. then up to traverse to see heather, who i miss like crazy, and then i think alittle golf w/ casey and maybe alittle partying. not that my life is hard by any means, but i feel a break is gonna do wonders. next week, i'm gonna come back and work a bit, hopefully get some golf in w/ the gibbs, then grego's birFday is next weekend, so i'm headin to grand rapids for a night. i'm pumped about that too, i never get to chill w/ him, plus i hope to hook up w/ the todd and possibly horvath. those guys were bugging me at the end of the school year, and now all i want is them or someone like them to be around here for me to chill and party with. i think this weekend's gonna be a turning point in the summer. i've been playing it safe. this doesn't necessarily have to be "the summer to remember", but i don't want it to be the one i regret, as i stated last time. i've taken steps, i started reading (yeah, i said it), i've been working out, i think i can get in pretty dicent shape by the time school rolls around and the beer starts flowing through my veins. boom!

holy update batman. i'm honestly gonna do this once a week for awhile. it's good for me to write, i get ideas out. so lately, life has just been sorta blah. i feel like i'm not going anywhere...that has multiple meanings. literally, i'm not going anywhere. i sit around my house all the time waiting for something to come along. what happened to my go getivness? oh wait, i have no money...that's right, i remember now. i'm waiting on a job...it will literally shread my social life if i get it...but it'd be a change, and i need that. just something different. right now i sit around all week, do some stuff around the house, work at the ice cream shop some nights (which i now don't like doing), and wait for the weekend to get here so that i can see kadi when she's not busy. if this job goes through though...who knows what will happen. but, that's the future. it's a near future, but i can't worry about it today. oh. and another thing. i've been thinking and telling everyone that i can't wait for mid august to come so that i can get back to school and do my thing up there...and i realized, if i do that, i'm gonna regret this summer. so i gotta get on it and have a good time and enjoy what i can with what i have. boom. i give good advice. if only i'd take it.
