Mood: Exhausted
Weather: Cloudless
So Sunday I spent the night with my friend Shaggy Not much to be said about that night other than it's suffice to say that a merry time was had by all. However the real adventure was the following day when we decided to go to a creek that required driving through a pasture. Before we set out our friend Anger Issues ( henceforth called A.I.) called and we invited him over along with his pick-up truck. We rode to the pasture and when Shaggy left to open the gate he turned his 4 wheeler off. After the gate was opened he tried to crank the ATV again and again and again to no avail. Thats when A.I. so kindly offered us a ride. But this is a pick-up truck. With one passenger seat. Do the math. I was on the back of the ATV and took longer getting off so I was stuck in the bed. I feared for my life as the cows stampeded and A.I. rushed through a very narrow opening in the hole and bump infested pasture....
Fastforward to a more recent memory... 2/12/09... My internet at home has been shut off, and I am unable to update but very briefly between classes at my college. So until further notice this will simply be poetry and my band of the week. Sorry if this disappoints my all of two readers I believe.
So B.O.T.W. will have to wait and here is my first poetic entry... I wrote this as part of an El Dia de Enamorado project for my Spanish Class and for my new, amazing, beautiful, cute, gorgeous, smart, witty, sweet, girlfriend. (Yes, the beautiful girl from my previous blogs) The poem is very culturally expansive using an ancient Japanese style of poetry, haiku, written in Spanish for a European holiday (Yes I know Spain is in Europe).
Cuando te quiero
Tu' y solamente tu'
Te necessito
Para ti,
Mi La Luz de Estrella.

Sunday. January 04, 2009: Church and Seafood
Incubus
Mood: Sick but good.
Weather: Overcast but with a decent amount of sunshine.
So its Sunday, Church, going out to eat and just relaxing. Our pastor, Stephen Pearson, spoke of how in the race to Heaven we need to be an endurance runner instead of a sprinter. I really liked the metaphor because it was easy to follow since I run cross country and track.
I was disappointed that the aforementioned beautiful girl didn't get to come. Also since the cellphone privilege was for only one day I have no way of contacting her. I am excited that she remained flirtatious yesterday. Unfortunately, the Catch 22 fo the matter is that she's already in a relationship. Not a serious one, they've only been dating 2 or 3 weeks. She has decided to be completely honest with him about it and last I heard they were going to talk about it. Also something that made us both feel guilty was that his Grandfather has been diagnosed with cancer and has to go through chemo.
Anyways, after church we went to Long John Silvers. I had the popcorn shrimp. It tasted good, but its left me with a bit of an upset stomach. As I feasted on my deliciously frugal meal, I read the faux newspaper set underneath my food used to promote the restaurants new London Style Fish 'n Chips. The advertisement capitalized on stereotypes of a cockney Brit. In fact it was so blatantly stereotypical that I am sure if any actual British person read it they would be offended.
I finally straightened up my disaster of a room. It wasn't easy. I was very surprised how out of control I had let the mess become. Clothes laid everywhere, trash in the strangest of places, and papers from MIDDLE SCHOOL were still in there. Which is strange considering I've only lived in the room for a little over a year and a half. It looked like a frat boy dorm room. Not very pretty. But at least I won't be ashamed to have friends over now.
I am adding a new section at the end of my blogs called the Band of the Week. It will have a specific band that I like and a short description of the band along with 3 of my favorite songs by the band. So without further adue the first Band of the Week is, (drum roll please)..... Incubus.
Incubus consists of Brandon Boyd: Lead Vocals, Mike Einziger: Lead Guitar, Joe Pasillas: Drums, Chris Kilmore: Turntables/Keyboard, and Ben Kenney: Bass. Boyd, Einzinger, and Pasillas have been playing together since they were in the 10th grade. They released their first album Fungus Amongus in 1997 and have released 5 other albums since. "They are known for their eclectic sound, balancing experimental and progressive qualities with pop appeal, earning praise for their ability to change and evolve their music with every subsequent release." (Wikipedia) While dealing with topics from drugs to romance the band keeps an overall optimistic attitude in most of their songs.

Saturday, January 3, 2009 : Just another boring day.
Mood : Bored
Weather: Overcast
Nothing that interesting today. My parent's are off hunting cars to replace the one that got rammed on Christmas Eve. It was a good car. A 2001 Mazda 626. Named Squeaky. We've had it since I was in Elementary School so we were due for a change anyway.
I haven't really done anything today. I've been on the computer looking up random things. I had a talk with my mom last night about moving out and she blew it up in my face. I did deserve it however. It was my youthful ignorance and a desire for freedom that pushed me to do it anyway. I hate the fact that I can realize and analyze my problem, but then not do a thing to make it better.
One interesting thing is that my parent's are allowing me to use my cellphone for the first time what seems like an eternity of isolation. I have no idea what brought this on considering that I don't deserve to have it back at all with the way I've been acting. Don't get me wrong I am very grateful to be able to use it and its been fun catching up with estranged friends, but, honestly, I've been a real jackass lately.
Well not really much besides that. I am enjoying being complimented right now. By a very beautiful girl I might add. So bye.

My New Years Resolution
This is me... about two years ago.
So. Its a new year, a new start, Auld Lang Syne and all that jazz. My New Years resolution was to start a blog about myself. Life, love, you know, the usual. Maybe It will help me express myself or find some kind of apiphany, but who knows? I haven't really decided how often I'm going to update this, but most likely more than once a week.
I suppose now is as good a time as any to start a blog. I very recently got out of a long relationship that I'm sure you would love to hear the juicy, sexy, heart-breaking, block buster hit quality story that it was, but I'm not gonna tell you so cry about it. Its a little early for me to get into it right now anyway. Maybe I'll share a bit of it later on, but not now. The sting is still too fresh.
Maybe you'll like me and maybe you won't, but who cares what you think. So. I've decided that to day is the start of a new life. Wish me luck.
