Well today was definately more productive than all of this weekend although I'm hella tired. I went to school this morning feelin a little out of it. I got through PChem then hung out with Emily and Botch before Physics. Physics was alright, i understood this chapter more than the last one. Afterwards i went to lunch with deeds and Adam. After that I opted to ditch the first class of the semester and instead i ran to fax something then i deposited some money in the bank. After that I went home and worked on some econ then read some WS papers. I then went grocery shopping to prevent myself from taking a nap. When I got back home i cooked some random ass food: hard boiled eggs, hot dogs, and bacon.......After that I listened to the suns game on the radio while working on my physics lab....ya the suns finally lost, definately sucked but on the flip side, i think they'll come out pumped vs the Spurs Weds. Anyways i finished most of my lab and then did some physics homework. Tomorrow is another easy day except i have to go back to campus at 5 for film viewing.

Random Things.....

- Last night i was on the phone with Adam Korea and we were talking about how were trying to alter some things. Were both on similar goals and should be interesting on how it turns out.

- The title of my blog today is really obvious to what it entails. I have something cooking in my head but i do have a disclaimer.....it's odd. I talked to Adam about this a little, what i have in mind is going to put the nail in the coffin on this subject hopefully Kinda like a last hurrah sortof. But let me say this, it is definately not what most people are thinking. Your going to have to trust me on this. I'll say this, after this I'm gonna shut it down perminately, i guess it's just something i have to do although I know no closure will come of this.

No Penguins

Uh oh......as you guys have seen, my blogs have been coming around a lot less lately. Ya hopefully I can turn that around a bit, but my writing has been a little off this week. Anyways honestly i don't remember what has gone down this week so I'm not gonna try to remember and instead just move onto yesterday. Simply put, school yesterday was pretty lax. Of course i had my 8AM p. chem class. Its starting to look like a rehash of physics to me which is definately not a good thing. But so far i understand what the professor is teaching, I just haven't started doing the homework. After that class, I had a three hour break, so Botch and me had some breakfast over at the Cactus Grill and then headed over to the chem lounge and hung around with Emily and Nealton. I worked on studying for my greek mythos quiz i had that day. After the first hour Nealton left and I was then joined by Steve-O. So after two hours i was done studying for mythos and i didn't want to do anymore homework so i decided to go to the SBS Annex building to turn in my gender paper. A quick note on that, I haven't written an academic paper in awhile and judging from that paper, I was definately rusty. I'm usually confident about the turnout of my papers but I'll be honest, the wordage I used as well as the overall flow of the paper was lacking. Anywho after dropping off my paper, I decided to get some Penguins. Now last Fri i went to Penguins and since then i've had the craziest urge for the stuff. So after i grabbed some Penguins, I went to my Greek Mythos class and took the quiz that literally took two minutes.

After that I went home and ran some little errands here or then before going home. I checked the mail, and i recieved a package from Microsoft. I was scarred shitless because besides my OS, nothing from microsoft is quite "right" per say. So my first thought was that it was going to be some anti-piracy letter however when i opened it up, i found a product key for a full version of office 2007 professional. So i went home and loaded that shit on my computer. After all that hubbub, I kicked back for awhile before heading over to Me'shells apt. When i got there Me'shell, Deeds, and Tara were there and were still waiting for Adam and Sarah. As soon as they got there we drove over to Buffalo Wings N Things and were soon joined with Botch and Craig.......It was real far and took it's toll on my gas but it was worth it because they had some good wings and they were also playing the Suns game (which wasn't televised on tv, only sat). We then left to go to Tara's to pick up some cake supplies then went back to the girls apt. There we just baked a cake and chilled. Adam, Deeds, and me then went to Penguins in hopes of getting some banana cheesecake but it was broken. I really wanted to go bowling but it was gonna happen on this night so instead we watched some shows on TLC followed by True Life: I wanna be a sumo wrestler. Ya Tara was the only one drinking and it definately didn't turn out well since she got sick.

In a nutshell that was last night, today I'm heading over to Phx to take care of some business before heading back Sun.

Random THings...

- I turned down tickets for the UA vs UNC game today.......wow that really hurt.

- So far the semester has been pretty good although there are still some unsettled things and interesting storylines that i will have to deal with.

-My alternate title to this post was originally going to be "A Fine Line" but i opted out of it because I didn't want to go to detail what that meant and also because i'm pretty sure i've used that title once before. haha

- No Penguins was a miswording i used last night. I was talking to adam about the TLC channel and we were talking about the different TLC in society (ex. The learning channel, tender, loving, care, Teboz, lefteye, and Chili. And that led to us talking about old TLC songs and we both agreed we didn't like no scrubs. I then said I didn't like the guy version either.....No Penguins before i quickly caught myself and resaid No pigeons........lol it doesn't translate well in writing but i thought it was kinda humorous.

This Day In History- 4yrs ago - I was setting myself up for massive dissapointment. (Oddly enough this led me to promise myself i wouldn't make the same mistake and i think i made that same mistake.....) 3yrs ago - Just hung out with some friends and doing various activities. 2yrs ago - I got my first mp3 player. I opted against the iPod and got some no name brand that could only hold 40 songs. I think that's all i needed back in those days. (i think it was 256mb and i now have a 30gb haha).

Well i haven't updated in a week and the reason being nothing really has happened this week. It's just been going through the motions for me. I don't think there was really anything notable to mention that happened though the week. Now that i think about it, i think i've had a very sleepy weekend. While that may sound like a boring thing, I enjoyed it a bit to just kick back and relax.

I'm oddly gonna cut short my blog here for now because I'm not exactly in a blogging mood and the only thing i really felt about writing, i may need to reevaluate how to write it.

Well first off happy MLK day for whoever takes the holiday for heart. I say that because lets face it, majority of people look at today as just another day off from school. It's kinda sad but alas I'm guilty of it myself. Anyways I figured I'm update the random going-ons from the past day or two.......

Saturday started out muck like Thursday. I didnt' get alot of sleep so i ended up taking a long ass nap. I woke up and watched some of the football game and the suns game before deeds called to see if i wanted to join for dinner and whatever afterwards. So i got ready and met up at their apartment. It ended up being Deeds, Adam, Me'shell, Sarah, Katie, and me. We ended up going to applebees and did the whole dinner thing. Afterwards we went back to their apartment and chilled there for a bit trying to decide what we wanted to do for the rest of the night. So we brainstormed for awhile and it seemed like it was gonna end up with us watching a scary movie and buying a wee-gee board (spelling) since it was way too cold to do anything outside. However, we then came up with the plan to go to Adam's house to play beer pong. Everyone was down to drink, so I was the DD. So we went over there and we played some beer pong. It seemed everyone was pretty drunk except for Sarah. After that we just hung around the living room listening to music and singing/dancing along while Me'shell was feeding us/slipping us cheese-it's. It was all pretty random and fun. That is until close to 2AM, then it all came down like clockworks.......What happened is not my place to say but i think its safe to say that everyone being drunk definately played a factor in it. Anyways its definately ironic that something happened because i remember looking at my watch and it was about 1:15-25 and i was thinking of calling it a night, thus ending the night on a high note. A smaller thought popped into my head about the episode of HIMYM and the "Good things never happen past 2AM" episode, but given the fun and easygoingness of the night i didn't think too much of it. Just for notes sake, i ended up going home at 3:3o although the tiredness definately dissapated by then.

Sunday
This day was definately more lax. This was the day i was supposed to be uber productive, however i was just feeling too lazy. So i ended watching football and doing a bunch of nothing. Emily said they were going to the waffle house at 7 so i went just to make an appearance (more on that later). It was definately odd at the waffle house due to the fire department came to escort the homeless man to the hospital. Our waitress was also incompetent and forgot a bunch of stuff that we ordered. Anyways afterwards we went to Em's friends house so they could watch desperate housewives and then we played Pop5 (a spinoff on cranium). Afterwards i left and played a couple video games then crashed out.

Today I woke up and read my PChem book to no avail as i don't think i actually retained anything. Now i'm gonna go to blockbuster and return the Illusionist which i thought was a really good movie although i'm confused about one thing. Then i'm gonna go to the store and buy some stuff for my key lime chicken i want to make sometime this week.

Random Things.......

- Its never really easy to move past a person. I mean that in two completely different ways. I mean some people can have an effect on you (good or bad) and the lasting effects it gives you stay with you for awhile despite how much you try to move on or try and forget the person. For my situation, i just have to say to just focus on the goal and remember that that person is ultimately not the answer. For the other instance, i think it's important to remember that you can't keep shielding yourself from a situation that you were put in and remember that not everyone is the same person who hurt you.

- The other thing i wanted to make a note of is the fact of the level to which i've hung out with the "group". It was mentioned by both Emily and Me'shell, who both seemed surprised by the fact that with Me'shell, i hung out with them 2 days in a row, and for Em, the fact that i hung out period haha. I just have to say that I was going thru a lot of things besides school and the fact that it was affecting me in a lot of different ways. But I think i've managed to get past those things (knock on wood), and i'm trying to reestablish things that i've lost my connection with last semester.

A Work in Progress

Currently Feeling- Conflicted

Well today i got my first glance of my Tues/Thurs classes. First off I woke up and got my beef stew ready and then hopped in the shower. I ended up leaving early for class again....I think more or less that is going to be my routine because I generally enjoy having that large of a cushion to get to class. Anyways my first class was econ. I ended up sitting behind this utterly obnoxious girl. I left my mp3 player in the car so i had to endure this girl constantly talk shit about other people and whatnot, not to mention she was pretty nappy if I may say so. We'll have assigned seats on Tuesday so i hope that i sit next to someone cool....or cute...haha....As for the class, i think i'm gonna oddly enjoy it. The teacher seems really cool and the way his lecture goes, it's interesting enough to keep my attention enough for the hour fifteen minutes.

I had a 45 minute break before having to go to Physics. Physics for the first two days have been odd. We haven't really done anything, like the stuff he has gone over just seems really more like fun facts more than stuff we'll actually be using. He's pretty boring but i think the way he structures his notes, i'll be better off, however that may be a little premature given the fact we haven't really had any real notes yet.

After physics i had to hightail it out to get to my woman's studies class and even then i was about 5 minutes late since i wasn't exactly sure where my class was. I have to say one thing though, there are a bunch of cute girls in my class, it's quite ridonculous. I ended up sitting next to this cute girl with a nice accent, I didn't get to talk to her since i got in late but I thought i'd mention her anyways. I was also surprised by the format of the class. It's a women's study/film analysis class which is really cool since i always wanted to take those type of classes. The only downside is that i have to attend the film viewings on Tues evening, although it's not a completely bad thing since I must reiterate that there are a bunch of cute girls and since its a discussion type class, i will definately have an opportunity to spit my hot fire...lol....especially since i know no one in my class.

After that class i had another hour break so i went to the bookstore and got a book for my WS class. I opted against lunch since my beef stew should be ready by the time i get home. I read some of the book then i went to my chem discussion which ended up being a bit of a waste. The only reason i really came was to try to force the habit of going.

After class i went home and ate some more delicious beef stew then i updated my notes via onenote. I'm really digging it now, and i think if i can keep it up, it will play a major factor in how well i do. After that i took a nice 3 hour nap. My original plan was to watch my shows and then the suns game but a plan was concocted to go bowling. So i went bowling with Jbot, Me'shell, deeds, adam, and Sarah. It was pretty fun and once again i got my average of around 80ish (sad i know). After that i went and watched the rest of the game and now i'm blogging.

Random Things....
- I'm unsure of what i'm doing this weekend, probably a mix of chillin, hangin out, and trying to get ahead.

- This is also a bit premature but so far the first week back seems pretty good. It hasn't been perfect and I have yet to figure out a problem that seems to be continually plaguing (spelling?) me. I can almost pinpoint the problem exactly but i don't have it exactly figured out nor do i have a solution for it yet. But I think i knew going into the new year with what i said i was going to do (or not going to do) was not going to be easy and as a result i'm still trying to readjust. If your thinking, what the hell is he talking about, i don't think most should know what i'm alluding to so don't feel left out of the loop.

Currently Feeling- Normal......a little odd
This Day In History- 4years ago - I got into an accident with the MDX........

Well today was the first day back from school. It was odd though. First thing is I KO'ed last nite around 12:30ish only to wake up at 4:30. I laid in bed for 30 minutes until i figured it was pointless so i got up and took a shower and i ended up leaving to go to school at 6:45 with class starting at 8. Anyways i got there and read the newspaper then just chilled in the classroom listening to the radio. The first class of the day is PChem who i have it with Me'shell, JBot, Emily, Neal. Its in the same room as my achem class last semester so it was very very familiar. The class is something i'm definately not looking forward to but i havent' had the chance to look at the book so until then i'll reserve my judgement. Also there wasn't really anyone there who I thought was cute except for this girl who was in my achem class last semester.

Babe Count: 1

I then had an hour break so Jbot, Emily, and me went to the cactus grill and had some breakfast. Halfway there we were joined by Shelby, Tara, and Craig. Anywho we only had an hour before we left to Physics. Physics is also in the same room, quite depressing. The teacher though seems head and shoulders better than Visscher so that's a relief. I'm definately going to be focusing a lot on that class this semester. Unfortunately I didn't see anyone in my physics class who caught my eye thus the babe count remains.....

Babe Count: 1

I then had another hour break so i decided to eat a little ham and then chill a bit on the grassy knoll. My next class was Greek Mythologies. You may ask why i'm taking that class and i have three main reasons for it. 1) I need an easy A (hopefully) 2) I have a huge break if i don't take it 3) I generally like Greek Mythos and since frosh year i've actually wanted to take the class. Anyways the class was pretty typical, it looks interesting although I dunno if i'll end up keeping up with the readings. Anyways the class is big so the babe count is a little unfair so i'll just leave it to people next to me. But ya there was this one girl with a nice body....

Babe Count: 2

My final class for the day was Chem safety. First however, I had a two hour break. My original plan was to hang out with Adam and Deeds but they went to his house and i didn't want to drive so instead i took a nap at the tv lounge. It wasn't a good nap because i kept thinking someone was gonna jack my backpack. Anyways I went to class and sat next to Geneveive, Me'shell, and i think her friend Bri. Anyways the class was weird. I dunno i don't even think we talked about chemistry, just natural disasters and planes. (?) Anyways i do have to say this, i was sitting in the middle section towards the left and there were plenty of cute girls sitting in the left section. I counted at least 4. The funny thing was they all sort of looked the same: brunette slim to normal build, avg height, cute complexion (spelling?). Anyways i realized that and i chuckled a little inside at my predictability.

Babe Count: 6

After class I went home and tried out my new experiment....Onenote.... Pretty much it's a digital notebook. It took a bit to set it up with my classes but i'm satisfied with the turnout so far. I also marinated some chicken wings for dinner while thawing the beef for pot roast tomorrow.

Random Things......

- The classes were weird because my first two classes (PChem and Physics) were in the exact same classes and we sat in the same exact seats....it was odd....

-Apple has been sued by Cisco over copyright infringement over the name iPhone because apparently Cisco already owned the name....hahaha

- Today was also kind of odd for another reason. I can't really state why but something didn't feel natural or right. Thus the title "Byproduct", because i think that the reason for the unnatural feeling is a byproduct of a recent decision of mine.

Well it's tuesday night which unfortunately means that school starts tomorrow. So because of that, the past couple days i've been running massive errands. Today had the brunt of my errand running. I went to the post office, to blockbuster, to best buy, to the mall, to my friends house. Afterwards I went home and relaxed for awhile. I watched a bit of the suns game before going out to dinner. Dinner was fun, there was a bunch of us so the conversation pretty much split in two. My table had Adam, Deeds, Shelby, and Tara. Anyways i haven't really gotten to hang out with everyone so it was cool catching up a little. Anyways after dinner, we sorta exchanged xmas gifts and then we all went on our merry ways.

This is gonna be a short blog cuz i have to go to sleep but the last thing i want to touch on is the title "Clean Slate". It's actually something that was concocted yesterday when i dropped by to say what's up to Adam and Deeds. Anyways it's pretty obvious what it means, on a romantic aspect, this semester is a clean slate and i'm no longer trying to shoot for certain people. Anyways that is my very brief blog. Tomorrow i got pchem, physics, greek mythos, and chem safety.

The Start of the New Year

Song Of The Day- Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism
Currently Feeling- Motivated

Well first off, Merry Xmas and a happy new years! 2006 wasn't the greatest of years but alas it's over. I won't lie, the end of 2006 couldn't have gotten worse but it has also motivated me to make the most of 2007. Before I start I have to give off a proper farewell to Captain Mallow....It's odd because I never really talked about him a lot but he did mean a lot to me. He died a day before my physics final with the most probable cause coming from he ate something poisonous. Anyways I did keep his death pretty quiet because for the most part, I don't think i wanted to hear anything from people. Anyways I definately didn't do well last semester. The classes were hard, but there was also lack of focus that cost me. Also i can single out a single day that really screwed me over. I'm not going to say what it was but I had a decision and I didn't get my priorities in order and i paid for it. Also I got a ticket the day after my last final for going 82 in a 75. It was pretty lame too because majority of the time i was only going 80 (because it was late at nite and i was just cruising). Anyways i'm actually going to court about it to try to get it thrown out. Also I didn't get to say bye to Tawni, i didn't even know when she was leaving until the day after.

However, while it did seem quite bleak, i think i do see light at the end of the tunnel. I think some stuff that has transpired during the break will allow me to refocus on school. So i think if I can keep that focus, I can go for the elusive 4.0. Also i'm still in search for a pharm tech job, it appears as if i won't get one close to home so alas i have to broaden the radius search.

Anyways during the break, i've just mainly hung out around phx, played around on my new computer. I went to CA for new years. Honestly at first i didn't have much hopes for it since both Chris nor John were gonna be there. however, i ended up having quite a fun time. I have also approved of Marianne's bf. He's a cool guy and i believe he truly likes my sister which takes priority in my book.

Anyways i'm going to cut this blog short because i have some stuff i have to do. But before i go here are some of my new years resolutions, in no particular order

1. Finish out the rest of college strong (4.0?)
2. Be more social (unlike last semester)
3. Be more determined in what i have to do.
