So what if it's been FIVE DAYS!! I know I've been slacking a litlle...ok, A LOT!!! But since my last post, I've found myself and I've realized that I really have nothing better to do, I'm just lazy. I think that I've figured out how to add links within my text so if you see them everywhere just make sure that you don't go click happy like I will be link happy. Speaking of Link...The game Zelda is pretty crazy. I've actually been doing work instead of playing it (or even The Sims!) but it's been on my mind constantly due to the pressures that it has put me through. Beside that, it's a pretty funny game as it is. Guys setting drunk at the Milk Bar, a young (younger than ten) warrior with the power to control time...with a wooden instrument, and people naive to an apocolyptic moon summoned by another child possesed by a mask...You can't get any better than that! Well, maybe if there were cows in the milk bar...
Chapman soccer reigns again! We are, as of last night 8-7, a .533 win percentage. Oh yeah! We have the chance to take the previously number four team in the nation out of the NCAA tounament. That's what we're all about! Oh yeah!
Enough of that...I turned in my research paper outline about Morrison and Weiland. I still have to convince my professor that it is a valid paper to be written by a college student...Toto, I don't think we're in High School anymore! The worry that she has for the paper makes sense, but I never was into writing a paper that was that elementary, my dear Watson. So the mystery will continue to unfold as I continue to unveil the mystery of our two specimen (does that stand for special men?).
I've decided to rid my page of the useless Photos link due to me not taking any pictures anyway. Instead it will be solely devoted to my research paper, with things like my ideas on each of their cd's, new findings on their similarities and such. Something for me to do...like a hobby, that will kind of keep my thoughts together for my paper, too. We'll see you on the pilfside. Until then---

So much to do but not... Ever had the feeling that there was way too much to do but when you look back on it, it really was nothing? Well, I have and this week is not helping! I feel as though I should be stressed, but I guess that that action is not in my vocab either. Worrying...maybe, but no stress! I'm not a normal person!!! Oh well...saves me money on stress relief...
So, like, Chapman Men's soccer ROCKS!! That is all. Although I still don't play, the games are a lot more fun to watch when we're winning...fair-play and all. The team has been on a five game win streak since Oct. 10 when they beat Whittier, basically a gimme game I heard. Now we're back at .500 win/lose percentage for the first time since we were 0-0. Sad? ...maybe, maybe not. I tell you one thing, it doesn't matter now! It feels good to win, especially against the referree's will...Makes it all the better.
Resarch paper is coming along...that's about all I can say right now. Not much has changed. It's still a paper, I still haven't finished it, and I still have more research to do for it. I just think that if I didn't sleep, I'd be OK. But, Nooooo...! Stupid sleep. It's sooo overrated cause it's not like you can do anything when you're sleeping. Rather dull and boring and it takes up way too much of my time. Just imagine if we didn't have to sleep to function (some of us to function at all!); life would be so much more open. There would be so many more ways to make money, there would never be that 'I'm a zombie' feeling from when you just wake up (yeah I get that too...), and living wouldn't be so much a chore in itself. I'm guessing on all of this (except fpr the zombie thing. That will always be true since there is no cure). Besides, I feel like a zombie right now so this is the last sentence to end a beautiful friendship...good quote bad, very bad placement. Oh well, that's why I don't write scripts or anyhing of the sort. Just these...these wonderfull outlets of inner energy being placed on the internet with the sole purpose to corrupt the minds of all that read. Muah ha ha ha (I stole that from Ana, sorry Ana that was good placement...glitch in my zombie form.)!! I think I'm leaving it at that. Until then---

And fatigue sets in... I really don't know what I've been running off of lately cause 'relaxing' isn't really in my vocabulary. 'Chilling', maybe but there is no real relaxing going on over here. I've embarked on an adventure called the RESEARCH PROJECT. I'll tell you one thing: I've never been so indulged into my topics. I think that it helps when you get into something that you're really passionate about. For me, anything about music could probably keep my interest long enough to research as thoroughly as neded for at least a 'B'. I went a little bit further though. I picked two of my favorite artists, Jim Morrison's Doors and Scott Weiland's Stone Temple Pilots, and I am comparing/contrasting them. In doing this, I've made a pact with myself not to listen to any other music but STP or the Doors until I'm finished. I'm pretty sure that it's going to get on Grant and Aaron's nerves pretty quickly, though. This is a public apology to them both...but the show must go on!! I've learned so much more about each of these groups and I'm actually excited about writing this essay. And for those of you that know me well, I really don't like to write...AT ALL. This is definitely an accomplishment for me. I just hope that the paper turns out as well as my effort is creating in my mind. I'll try to keep you posted, even if I feel like keeling over at any given moment. Keeling...great word...kind of wierd, but great nonetheless. I will get to you all at a time less tired, when there is no work in the wee hours of TEN in the morning (He he...I'm ditching my one class). Until then...

Well, it's another beautiful day! I haven't had work for the past two days and I feel great!! Not that I'm tired of work already, in fact I love it, but I miss just hanging out with friends and things like that that I don't get to do as much...but I've got this weekend off, too...Anyway, life has been treating me well. Chapman men's soccer is now officially on a win streak: 3-0...oh yeah!! We're stoked!! We're finally getting the wins that we deserve.~~~
Now I don't know if this is good, bad, or indifferent but I've got this thing that is bothering me. I have been drinking milk, water and an occasional juice of some sort ever since I've been in college. This is a good thing cause milk and water are much cheaper than soda is. Moving on, recently I've been drinking a LOT of milk and nowhere near as much water as I was even before I moved in at school. I'm starting to think that I might be growing soon. The last time that I can remember drinking an abnormal amount of milk was in elementary school during my growing stage. Those of you that know me, know that I'm not very tall (5'6" minus the fro) but up until seventh or eighth grade I was the abnormally tall one...especially since I was 5'6" then!...and ever since. So I'm hoping that this is another growth spurth and not a random cow drinking festival in my tummy. That would be great but we'll just have to see now won't we...cause I'm not sure at all, and I'm definitely not confident about it. If anyone knows any other odd reason why I may be drinking that much milk, tell me please...I can't handle being shut down later...Well I'm going to slumberland, home to Little Nemo and the Princess that as far as I know has no name. I'm sure she does but my lazy self is not going to look it up, especially at this time! Until then---

Ok..Like, I'm busy! I didn't think that I would be so stuck within the institution. Work has kept me away from my normal life of video games, guitar, wandering aimlessly (that was something easy to let go), guitar, wandering aimfully (for lack of a better word...you get my point!), guitar, minimal homework, and posting stuff here. Now all I do is play video games, guitar, wander aimfully (there has to be a point to everything I do now), guitar, and even less homework than usual (and I was just getting into a groove...). So these posts have become pretty low on my scale of things I have to do. Sucks. I really enjoyed the point when I was slaving at the computer everyday, keeping you all updated, everyday... No, I really do enjoy it, besides, I know that I'm the only one that reads it anyway since my insights are sooo exciting.~~~
Now the important stuff. New insight!! (Sorry my realization of them sucking isn't going to stop me now!!) Comic books. Compare and contrast: Spiderman and X-Men...Just kidding...they both are awesome but that's not the point at hand...I don't think. Now the conversation came up in my dorm room about how not all comic books are the nerdy or dorky thing to read. I never thought that they were that bad but I never defended anyone (including myself, sadly) when they were brought up as the dorky thing to read. Yes I was a dork, too...I'm over it. In fact I still am but, again, I'm over it and it's widely accepted as fact: Ed is a DORK! Ok that's out of the way...So we went over sort of the same things that I was saying in my last post about video games. There is also a different type of comic book for everyone. Now I'm not talking like Batman versus Wolverine comic books. There are a lot of comic books that have serious substance in them. Aaron, my roomate, is really big on comic books, but he reads so many different types that I probably would have never thought of as being comic books. Sure, he's got Spawn, but there is one called Ghost World (which I have now started) that seems to be a lot more realistic. And although it's in comic form, it could very wel be in short novel form, too. It's all based on preference, so I suggest that you all go out at look in a comic book store and find one that intrigues you and try to make it through it without the thought of "I'm totally becoming a nerd now" (come on, we're all adults now...mostly). So that is all for today...right now...Until then---

Yesterday was awsome! Even through a trip to DMV, it was still good! I'm telling you, there's something wrong with the DMV here in Santa Ana. I actually had a conversation with one of the people that was partially meaningful...I couldn't believe it! The guy was totally nice and everything! Not a normal DMV.~~~
Video games are very controling as I'm finding out now. I kind of knew it before, but now I'm seeing the affects of being a part of thje video gaming world. There is something for everyone and I'm seeing it especially in my dorm room. I am into The Sims and Zelda, Grant is into The Sims and Grim Fandango and Aaron is into Sonic the Hedgehog. It may be our differences in personality that effect the games we play, or just that we don't want to have another game to get hooked on...at least we know. It's amazing how they cn become so much a part of our lives, too. I know that there have been time when I think that I've got to get "friend points" with people that I'm talking to. I'm just glad that I'm not saying it out loud...Well that's my slight insight for the morning, I don't think that it'll get any better than this right now so I'm stopping....really, I am...Until then---

What the heezy!! I finally get to writing another post and what happens?...It's gone! Never existed! Completely dissipated! I think that it was good, too. you guys wiould have been amped to read that one....sucks for you guys that this STUPID INTERNET decided to erase that post. Grrrr!!! Well I may get to telling you what's been going on later but as of now, I've got class. Until then---

Oh boy, I'm excited! Well ladies and gentlemen, I've got my job! I got a call yesterday to see if I could make an interview later and I went of course. I think that they expect me to have some sort of life or something...calling to make sure I'm available. Heh, as long as they don't call on Tuesday (that evil day...grrrr). I get there and I ask for whose supposed to be interveiwing me. The staff up front ask me what department I'm applying for and after I answer, then jokingly (I think) they reply "you're hired!" I laugh at this coz they can't hire me! Only the managers and I have yet to see one. I soon do and the very informal interview is underway. The manager seems as though he wants me in the job mainly becaus I know more about the equipment I'll be selling than all of the other people that have been working in that department. I'm like "Woah!" Well the interview finishes and the manager tells me that he'll give me a call to schedule me for work. Cool, I think that I may have it! So now I wander around the store for a while with my friend, Ryan, cause it is a music store and I'm a musician. Then, I run into that manager again...He's on he phone and looks at me then say's, "They want you to work today!" Of course I can't cause I have a soccer game but again, I'm like "Woah!" I'm pretty sure that I have the job now. Can you say 'stoked!'?~~~
Now on to the soccer match. As of now I just think that be are never going to let us win a good match. We played AIU (formerly USIU, a place I grew to love...another story, another time) and they were pretty good. The only problem was, the whole game, WE were better! The first few plays, we honestly looked like a pro team! It was amazing! The best part was that it never went down from that intensity level. The first time that it could have was in the first 15 to 20 minutes, one of our guys get a red card. So we're now playing down a man and still playing the crap out of AIU. Team yellow, (referee and linesmen) was not helping us at all and this is a home game. AIU scored in the second half on a goal that should have never counted...they guy that scored was sooooo offsides. Grrrrr! Well then, we pick it up again and they get a total of I think 3 chances the remainder of the game while we kept pounding the ball in their throats. Maybe that was the problem...the ball is supposed to go in the net...hmmm... Anyway, of all the chances we had, there was a controversial ball that went in the goal but was not called in. We have it on film! Its proven that the score should have at least been 0-1 Chapman. Grrr! Team yellow SUCKS!!!~~~
Ok, the new but not too new thing in my wing of the dorms is this game called The Sims. It's amazing what Christina and I did once we started showing it to everyone that came in. We are already addicts and we've created so many more! It's pretty crazy. This game is about personalities and how well you can control them in a virtual world. It's so great! The coolest part (though this differs person to person) is designing the houses. It's so great especially if you cheat with the money and buy whatever you want. It's like being an interior decorator with no limits! That would be an awesome job! The other part to this game is hard: keeping sims alive. It's so difficult being like God. I give mad props out to Him, if it can be done... I now see basically what He's had to deal with 24/7 for milleniums. And I can barely handle 15 minutes sometimes. Man, I feel sorry for Him just for dealing with me and my free will...although my free will tells me that I have to go pee, I don't think that He has to tell me like I do for the sims. They're so helpless! Thanks to God for me not being that helpless!...Well, I'm off to get my nourishment before I go to work. Until then---

Just another day! Weekend is well on it's way though! And I'm so looking forward to it! I've got so many plans like....nothing, and more of nothing! It's great! Well, I don't know what I'm writing about cause I don't have much to say today. Oh yeah...Midterms suck! Ok now I really nave nothing to say at this juncture. Oh yeah...visit Aarons site! He's so much more interesting than me! Ok NOW I really have nothing to say. Besides that, I have class. I must learn about the theory of a new language...Music. Not that new? Go to a theory class, and your eyes will be closed. Well, I must go. Until then---

I'm so tired!! Oh no!! I think that I got Aaron's tired disease!! It's amazing what only a little sleep can do to you. I did get my hours that I needed, so it must be a disease. I wish that it was that easy...Anyways, I'll tell you about my visit to DMV. So, I go there with my friend Chelsea at 8 something in the morning. I'm thinking, 'There can't be that many people there. It's monday morning...people have work.' I was wrong. No one works in Santa Ana I guess, cause everyone and their mother was there!! I did think that the service could have been worse though. It's just not the same without that good old extremley rude service that you get from your local DMV! This place was only semi-rude, and semi-impatient...not up to par! Well, I ended up leaving without registering my car. I hope that there is no extra fee (of course there will be) cause I really don't have the money. I still haven't gotten that job at Mars Music. I really want to say "SCREW YOU GUYS" but I want to be able to shop there still. No but really, I'm kind of annoyed but the desire to work there is too overpowering to care that much. The pay is really good and it can't be matched by anywhere else that I could want to work, that is of course in the normal business world. I'm still going to be a rock star!! We'll see. It's still is thought that eats at me so I really need to find what it is I'm going to do about it. There's not going to be enough of me to eat for that long! Well, enough of my jibber jabber, I need to sleep...my six hours of course. I'm off (my rocker) once again. Until then---

It's Monday!! I'm really not that excited but it's good to make the best of things. Weekends are great, though! It's great to get some R & R, but what even better is to not and say that you did. I really don't know why staying up late is so great. Maybe it's rebellion against all that we were told by our parents. I'm really lost on the topice but I tell you...I'm still going to stay up until I want to go to sleep. Six hours of sleep is good enough for me. I've definitely learned that there is a different amount of sleep required for each person in order for them to function properly. Take my roomate, Aaron: He's been trying to get his film done (details on his page, check my links!) and because of it he's lacking in sleep hard core. We can all tell, too. It doesn't help that he gets frustrated with the new equipment that doesn't work. Stress and tiredness don't mix well at all. I'm lucky that I don't have any projects like that, and again it tell Aaron...SLEEP!!! And do it well...It's an amazing thing, this sleep. The main problem with it is the fact that it takes up time. Imagine all the things that you could do if you didn't have to sleep! Wow! the free time! Well, that's all for now, I've got to register my car in the early morning tomorrow so I need my SIX hours of sleep. I'm over it. Until then---
