7:39 pm - home again
"I want to be extreme. you know a death metal band drummer that has 3 kick peddles, 2 for my feet and one for my head so i can smash my face to be so EXTREME. KICK ASS you know and i can scream about puppys, cupcakes, and how jesus loves me. oh and how life is so horrible. yea. I so kick ass, just cause i listen to HARDCORE music and hate my parents cause they're just not as kick ass as me. oh i got to go its past my curfew."

sorry i just talked to one of those really angry kids who are really ignorant and that was what was running though my head as i talked to this little bastard. its not worth it to be so angry about things. i wish i could just shake that kid and tell him to just relax!whatever kids will be kids

so i went golfing (and drinking) with my dad this weekend. it was cool, i got to talk to him and actually hang out.

so im going down to eastern this weekend. that should be fun to hang out with my brothers.

so teri is moving out to chicago in a few weeks. im very excited for her but shes really freaking out about it. there is no reason for her to freak like this but i guess its just pre-show jitters or something. im sure she will have fun though.

well im gonna go back to work.
peace kiddies

current mood: okay

3:51 pm - the summer breezes of change
I really think that when i dont write in thise blog that life takes out the preverbial whip and starts screaming in some eastern european language to make me do something. for example since ive last wrote i quit my job and now work for XM radio, realized that im gonna have to go back to moraine because of money, and me and teri broke up and got back together...twice.

oh and XM kicks major ass. here lemme describe a normal work day
-listen to whatever music i want
-sit around
-go on multiple breaks...for no good reason
-and finally get payed 10$ an hour plus comission to do so.

so do i have it good? quite.

you know what really bothers me? little girls that are like 8 that wear mini skirts. what is wrong with their fathers? that would definently not be cool with me if i was a dad. and speaking of dad's in going golfing with my dad all this weekend. it should definetly be good time.

so who fianlly nade it to chapter status? its the phi kaps, oh the phi kaps. after a long and trialing time alpha omega chapter of the phi kaps (my chapter...) fianlly are an official fraternity. as opposed to and unoffical one? i donno but we should be having a ridiculous time this year. but not to ridiculous. belive me not TO ridiculous.

oh...and by the way dumbledore died. in the second to last book. why? oh god why? i think he'll be back though. i gotta feeling.

well i got to get back to "work". heh. whatever

peace

12:04 am - Milllllllla light....
well im sitting here on my friend amy's computer, half in the bag i might add, at a party listening to some of the weirdest stuff i have heard in a while. not only parcially drunk i also feel somewhat enlightened as the moment emerges. i donno if im going back to eastern next simester because my parents dont think its the right time to go back and i hate working and going to that high school with an ashtray that is "moron" valley.

i really dont think life is that bad right now. i doono what im going to feel tomarrow morning, hungover and over tired but right now im with close friends and good music, alcohol doesnt really help my denial of the present situation i am in but i am ok in the moment be.

i miss my brothers.

i know that my family loves me but in the years past i really have started to make my freinds my family. mom is always busy with tony and sweety and dad works to much, so i sorta had to go on my own and find a sort of surrogate family. well i really am sorta sad that im going to miss out on more great memories with my "family" at eastern this semester but i guess i desirve it. i donno, the way im feeling is really weird right now. i dont know why being drunk is putting me in a reflective mood.

im going to really miss teri.

shes moving down to chicago and going on with her life. i really hope that in her busy schedule she can make time for me. shes the one person that keeps me sane in this condundrum.

life isnt all bad though.

im spending time with my loved ones, teri included. and music is amazing. me and jake and bags are really chugging along with our whole makeshift prodigy dealy. we might even be playing a few bars soon.

well im gonna keep on drinking. and im gonna keep on having a good time. live, life, love.

current mood: drunk

6:33 pm - the return of the mediocre blogger
well its been a while since i wrote in this. mostly because of my "vacation" away from my higher learning experience and ive just been down right busy. so where did i leave off?

well for one i am now officially a brother of the social fraternity Phi Kappa Theta. it was a long process but it happened. getting kicked out of college sort of put a damper on the celebrations though. so after reapplying to eastern yesterday and being given the job of rush chairman (and i am damn glad to meet ya) its been a busy week reading and making ideas for the phi kaps and working AND school AND FINALLY spending time with teri

oh retail work blows. i sell cell phones now at a kiosk in orland square mall and i never know that it was the pergatory for all existance. this place sucks...alot.

oh and i figured out where all of the really attractive STUPID people went to after high school. the bane of my existance MOAINE VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE. another thing in the south suburbs that is truly crappy.

but dont get me wrong life isnt all one big mockery, there are good things.Me and teri are doing alright. almost a year and 4 months already and im playing alot of music and im perking up my exemplerary improv skills. our troop even has a DVD out already. its really cool.

so sorry bout disappering for a wile but things happen. now i have to go back to making fun of customers.

PEACE

12:55 pm - well thats a little better
we the day wasnt as bad as i thought it was going to be. im just gonna get ready for my big theater project which is me dressed up as a religious right republican. see if you were familiar with the play "tartuffe" you would know what was going on (its pretty much a fake religious leader robs a man blind and then gets caught...which hopefully is what will happen to all republicans for all their swindling)

ah and i still need to call columbia...oh this should be fun

i pretty much realized that the day isnt that bad and i was told by a bunch of older theater kids that the ladie that told me i had no talent also tells that to everyone ...and that shes crazy so its all ok.

ok im off.

9:29 am - everyone is so damn special today.
its frigging freezing outside, its snowing , i get up to go to my first final at 8 today, i get there, take it and then my fucking teacher decieds to be a bitch. you know what she tells me? "oh well you not really that good at acting so i think your gonna have to take this class over for your minor. sorry."

FUCK YOU.

im sorry i dont need a fucking theater minor anyway. i want to go to law school. im probably just gonna drop my theater minor and take up teachers cert. in philosophy. its a better back up plan in case i dont make it into law school anyway!

then i call this academic advising place to find out when i can ok my class choice with my counseler and i get on the line with possibly the most idiotic chick on the planet.

"hi can i find out the time and day my counsling is?"

"ummmm....i donno hold on"

then here comes the ABSOLUTE BLARRING TACKY JAZZ MUSIC at 9 in the morning

"ok so you said it was like tomarrow or something?"

"no honey im calling YOU so i can figure out when it is"

well she eventually figured it out. and now i just have to call up columbia to get my transcripts, study, help my freind matt move in, pack for the break, and sleep.

by any chance did i also tell you in flat broke?

what a wonderful beginning of the week.

current mood: aggravated
current music: silence for my blarring headache

8:56 pm - hmmm i feel like a vampire.
isnt it interesting when you go to bed and its dark out and you go to bed and then you wake up and its still dark out? yea thats what happened to me last night when i stayed up til 6 at the phi kap house and woke up at 6 this afternoon. my biological clock is screaming at me right now. oh well i only have a final at 8 in the morning tomarrow so i doubt ill go to bed tonight. damnit.

other wise everything is going peachy, im probably coming home on thursday and my brother kramer is gonna move into my room because he is right now is living with a pike (the biggest asshole's on campus...the phi kaps have a deep war going on with them) and so he's gonna move in with me for the last semester. which is mighty cool.

im looking forward to coming home but im sorta sad that im not gonna see many of the phi kaps and my freinds from EIU much...total weak sauce.

thats what next semester is for i guess

well im gonna study for a el scoacho (thats spanish for a scoach) and then im gonna go to steak and shake later!

12:32 am - its over. finally.
well im very sorry that i havent updated this in a while, the reason why was because rushing a fraturnity is alot of work. well i should probably go into detail.

well at the beginning i was all lamda chi, then i found out about the phi kaps...phi kappa theta that is. then i founf out that lamda chi was a bunch of lying bastards so i rushed phi kaps...and plus they seemed a hell of alot cooler. so what happens? i get elected as pledge president of my pledge class and then i am the middle man between the fraturnity and my class...this is a friggin lot of work if i may say so myself.

so 8 weeks go by...

and now tomarrow is our initiation into the fraternity. i was voted in tonight to become initiated so unless i die or an deathly ill by tomarrow by this time tomarrow night i will be wearing letters. its kinda nice.

otherswise im tring to keep up my grades, keep contact with my freinds at home, stablize a relation ship with teri, and be an inspiring musician
.
oh and next semester im going to be in charge of recruitment for my fraternity...oh eastern isnt gonna know what hit it.

other than that im still tring to write a book...i have like 7 going at the same time and i am in 4 bands....awesome.

ok well i need to sleep. au reviour ladies and gents

7:29 pm - Rush
starting from the time i wake up tomarrow its going to be rush week. the week kids join frats. im rushing lambda chi alpha, along with my freind drew and his freind tim. what does this constitute? i have no idea other than i am exausted from drinking with these guys and trying to get to know them and stuff. so far though i have been told by the majority of the guys i meet that they are pushing for me and will probably get my bid tomarrow, i donno if i believe them but whatever.

along with having to go do my laundry i need to go study philosophy and then write scripts with LUNCHBOX VOODOO our local comedy club which i didnt get accepted into...maybe next semester. whatever i need to go so good night

3:03 pm - who what? whats a frat? where am i?
ok first off ive been working my little...oh wait, my larger butt off trying to get good grades here at EIU and ive been doing pretty good so far. but of course ive been getting into some other stuff other than grades.

for example i am now the sergent at arms for the EIU college democrats. this entails that i help out ben (our president) with stuff. that and i have permission to go and "attack" any republican or conservitive group...hehehe... no really im more like the big scary looking fuzzy guy behind ben when we try to go and get our point across. which in fact is what is really keeping me busy this week because MICHAEL MOORE is coming to my school on october 10th. we are raising money for him to come so yea.

oh and if you knew me before college you knew that i didnt want to join a frat. ever. but of course to my luck i find the Lambda Chi's (upsidown v , x, a :) who have become a bunch of my freinds. these guys are like the anti-frat who accept pretty much any kid of person. so im rushing them next week.

oh and im going to a theatre party tonight...yes....PARTY!!! WHOOOOOOO *ahem* well sorry about that. bye

7:54 pm - samuri's in ihop
hi sorry about not writing down what is going on im extremely busy with graduation and stuff coming up.

oh yea graduation. currently im passing all the classes i need to graduate...which consists of christian lifestyles, english and general chemistry (or chem for kids who pretty much like to do labs.)
other than that im passing art. and i think study hall. so that is 5 out of 7. hey if i was in baseball i would be batting a .710 im all good.

oh and i got that job at the merc down town over the summer working for my girlfriend teri's dad.yes a grand a month. thats pretty good for a guy who can live off a hundred dollars a week like a fucking king. yes...excellent.

oh and i am starting up a RPG of legend of the five rings, which has absolutly nothing to do with lord of the rings and everything to do with kicking major ass as a samuri or sugenga. yes kitana through your xyphoid process.

oh and my prom was this weekend. it sucked. but all the seniors are starting to come together. its nice.


umm im gonn now go to ihop (shudder) because my home of mojoes is being cleaned right now and dennys *sob* is closed. so later childers.

eastern Illinois university 5%

so you can sorta guess where im going.

oh and im offically (now not unoffically) 18 years old. last thursday was fun. i just hung out with my freinds and registered to vote. hopefully bush WONT be prez next year even though kerry is a nitwit too.

oh well thats what revolution is for right?

1:11 pm - The Art Institute
well today was interesting so far. in my 3rd hour art class a lady came in form the art institute in chicago and talked about art jobs. what really got my attention was that they had a video game department there. i was really interested. and for answering a few questions she asked i was rewarded with a nice art institute pen. sweet. but then i was rudly interupted in my listening when ms. thormyer, a very pompous bitchy art teacher grabbed the back of my shirt and said i was interupting the lecture on the school by softly clicking my pen. god i hate that lady, and she took my pen away. i really dont care though because it was very cool to know that i could get a 4 year degree in making up ideas for video game scripts, design, and animation.

they said they would call me within the week.

other than that today has been pretty boring. i dont have drama practice today so i think im gonna go work out and then go to mojoes.

another slow day. oh well at least it isnt hectic.

1:27 pm - political satire
what a week. im sorry for not writing on this much, me trying to find a job, do finals,and try to have a social life all at the same time. but people have it worse.

i would like to say a big hello to my new "nefew" (and i know i spelled that wrong) andrew, my friend daves new baby boy! he was born on new years day much to the suprise of his parents, he was a month early.

heres an interesting story, my ex girlfriend jackie has a friend named tracy. tracy said yesterday while we were all sitting around at denny's that she likes republicans BECAUSE, *ahem* "that the word republican sounds better than democrat and that is why she is for republicans."

yes this girl is old enough to vote.

i worry, oh god do i worry.

this week was finals week and i think i studied mopre this week than i ever did in my entire life. but it did pay off (along with the fact that i was trying the put off a good karma all week if you believe in that sorta thing...) i passed all my classes including a "A" on my chemisty final...god i love that class.

oh and i beat silent hill 3. :)

but now i need to take a shower. so bye childers.

1:25 pm - Boo.

8:13 am - For the love of theatre
well guess what im wearing in school right now? full SS uniform, but i dont have my swatsztika armband on but most of the other nazi's in the play do. tonight is opening night of providence catholics rendition of "and then they came for me : remembering the world of anne frank". we actually look really good. its funny though because alot of people are giving me funny looks and all i can think is "haha i get out of dress code!"

umm...the cubs lost in pure yuppie style. GO RED SOX!

the whole thing with jackie turned out good. we are now talking and she is gonna go to the play as a friend. she said that we both need some thime off so thats what we are going to do. i learned a valuble lesson from this. if you truly enjoy the company of someone even though they are far away, stay with them.

my story for nanowrimo is starting to formulate in my head. there is going to be 3 clans or races of people in the nuclear winter earth. its the magi's, those who are in touch with the remnants of the earths living orginisms and the newly found magic/elemental power in the earth.and then there is the sages, who are nornal humans but use the nuclear radiation for new found powers, like the transformation of diamond into the strongest swords ever created. then there is the machinists who are bent on world domination by the destruction of all thing organic. im either thinking of making them part machine or have a sort of mech-wars bio suit.

so that is that. later kids.

current mood: excited
