Funeral Time

I had better drink some water tonight, for tomorrow is going to be gut wrenching. My uncle died a couple days ago, which has come as a massive shock to me and my family. A prominent name in the area translates to a wide variety of people who are going to miss him. I'll miss him more for what I didn't know and learn from him than what I did know of him. He was married to the sweetest woman I have ever came across (my aunt), and it's downright sickening to see the pain she's in. Puts more validity into the idea that you should live each day like it's your last...


(cliches ya!)

R.I.P Uncle Chris

School!!

Yep school has started.. yesterday was fairly hectic. I get there quite early to find I wrote down the incorrect time to meet my professor :(. So I eat, buy materials, and catch up on my pathology work. Finding out I may be able to avoid buying books all together :). So. I meet him at 5:30 to find he didn't bring all the materials for me, and that he'll call me at midnight. Is it just me, or is it a little odd that my prof. wants to call me at midnight? I didn't mind for I was going to be up. So I finish a few things and start heading home. Jeannie agreed to meet me mid walk to save me from the duldrum of walking. I passed this really nice restaurant that I want to take the lady to, so we'll see. Anyway, Jeannie meets me about 6 miles into the walk, buys some BK and drops me off. I am sooo tired at this point and doze intermittently till my prof calls and gives me all the answers to the test Saturday. I then continue to sleep until 6 because B wants outside. I slam a lean pocket and go back to sleep until 2 or so. When I get up I start homework immediately and find that Jeannie is willing to pick up Buddy's ear medicine on her way home from work. Sooo she drops it off with a bone for B, which he absolutely loves. I can't get it in his ears right away, i'll wait till he sleeps :). I continue doing more homework, updating the other blog, and maintaining contact with this lady from www.alaskanmalamute.org. Basically they need a new webmaster and I might be the guy for the job. Heck it pays and I want to learn more about my dog, even breed them some day. So that's cool. After some TB and a energy drink I'm ready for some homework. Shoot me some love on here! peace

BTW, Jeannie makes her appearances at :26, :33, and 2:14

The Dead Matter, is scheduled to be released in late 2008

DOH!

So.. at 745 Jeannie is at the house to pick me up, after a Burger King stop we get to school. We part ways and I diddle daddle for a bit until I go through my notes. Upon doing so I realize that my appointment isn't at 930am... ooooh no, it's at 530pm. Wow, what one misses when extraordinarly tired and very much inept to the morning hour. Regardless, I have a lot I need to do at LCCC anyway. I need to give the last bit of information to Financial Aid, buy books, and catch up in my Pathology class, so it's not as if I don't have work to do. Plus I need to make a few phone calls and update this site. Lots of things are happening here, STAY TUNED!

Busy Day

Well, I got SO much accomplished today. I was able to get into all the classes that I wanted. Able to get through financial aid, ate Chipotle with Andrew (his treat), I biked, got job applications and started the 6th Harry Potter. I have to say it was a good day. The GF was pretty insulting this evening, acting as if me accomplishing something was less than important than the route I took to get there =/. Annoyed indeed. Gotta be up at 7:45AM for school tomorrow sooooo... I may post again, if not.. Ciao!

Hm up? Yes I am, and site changes

Well, I'm up. Fell asleep around 1130, woke up at 230 feeling surprisingly refreshed. I have a bit on my plate today with working and school. Looking for the weekend where some serious partying is going to take place :)

You can comment on my ramblings without being a user here now, freshly updated :)

Hiatus, Drama, Heartbreak, New Beginning, and Unlikely Help

So, I haven't posted these past few days.. as you can tell. Not because I have been too busy, but I have been debating in which context I would like to display my personal life and in that, how I can do it tactfully. Well, I came to the conclusion that if I censored anything I wrote, then why bother writing anything at all? I'm going to break this down with some sort of order and hope it makes sense.

Friday, August 24th.

Well my refunds came through. I didn't have to pay for what I missed last semester but I am late for registering classes, I don't find out till later how I can go about getting in. I was somewhat stuck at LCCC today. So I went to Arabica and read some of Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix. I was so tired though that I actually slept on the couch while reading, what a bum! Afterwards I went to Giant Eagle and got some Rockstar Juiceds (4 pack!) and peanut butter crackers. I called around seeing in what way I could get some help (I was in between cell phones at the moment so I depended on pay phones ugh). When I say help I mean assistance in getting back home. Well I bought a phone card and after exhausting all options I called my Ex who happened to live close by. I hadn't seen her for a very long time and I was very timid on calling let alone asking for help. Well, she had always maintained that she'd help me whenever I was in need, and it turns out that she had to go to LCCC as well so it wasn't all in vain. I offered to buy some kind of lunch or pay for gas but she had plans. She dropped me off, saw my dog and went on her way.

August 25-27

Wow what a weekend. Let's put it this way. The girl I'm seeing has been extremely scandalous. Not so much as in sleeping with someone. But drunken hookups and then lies about things when I know the truth. Most recently done with her best friend's boyfriend of 2 years. In which she lied and sugar coated the entire scenario. Made it out like her best friend was too drunk to realize what was going on. I found out later that they had been flirting all night. She made comments to him like, "Someone's going to have a good night". I guess he complimented her body at one point and that's when she got on him after her friend witnessed them pecking. Awesome huh? This girl wants a future with me too, craziness. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Certainly not, she cried and cried but over what? She wasn't sad until she got caught. So what exactly is upsetting her? I mean, the very event itself didn't make her openly upset, not enough so to tell me the truth anyway. When I think of things like this.. I don't think about the act itself, I think about the path it took to get there. Like, things that were said and the individuals mindsets. That's what bothers me most of all. Another night a few months ago she did the same thing, kinda. I was suspecting and it turns out in the end I'm right. But in that, of her own accord, she hasn't hung out with that group of people again and willingly gave me the guy's phone number. So now I'm in a dilemma where this girl loves me, and I do to her. And she's really only done negative things to our relationship when she's been drunk or been around alcohol. And with that, it's not like she's slept with anybody but on the same token, trust is trust. And a lack of trust sucks. Like, I don't like to admit this, but I found out the truth about everything because my computer was logged into her AIM screen name. And the guy in question started talking to her. So I milked him for the night's events, horrorstruck throughout. I then told his girlfriend and revealed myself to him that he had been openly flirting with a guy and I care not for what he did to my girl but the the feeling it gave me. So in turn I let it be known that I frequent near where he lives, and if I see him I'll make him unrecognizable =/

In all this.. trepidation. I don't know what to do. I'll have further insight as time goes on.

Oh! Also this weekend I activiated my old cell phone number. And I now have a new phone number! There's a link to the right in which you can text me FREE OF CHARGE! Does not matter if you have verizon, a cell phone, or even a phone! You can still text me at 216 308 xxxx.
I also thank Jeannie for help with this too. In fear of my cell phone bill escalating we joined forces on a family plan that'd be mutually beneficial. Heck, I even got free lunch! Also she bought Harry Potter: The Sorcerer's Stone on DVD.. soooo, hopefully I'll get in on that soon :)

Monday August 27th

Well it came to my surprise that Jeannie took care of the book I still had owed money for at LCCC. What a surprise! I can avoid further credit card debt and tackle this curriculum which I have 1/3 done. Thanks Jeannie! Hope you're liking Anne Rice! What else happened today.. Well, had a really fun evening with the room mates. Stupid hijinx involved me getting stuck behind the couch, upside down while they were attempting to light my leg hairs on fire. That's what you get living with gay boys I suppose. Concurrently I had great fun with the dogs last night. I'm also noticing that I'm becoming surprisingly fit. I've lost nearly 20lbs since June and I feel great. My basketball league and biking have been responsible for this.

Tuesday August 28th

Well, with my debt all cleared I spent most of the day on the horn with LCCC. I'm late in signing up for quite a few classes so I have to personally contact the professors to get in. It seems I will be taking 3 classes this semester, 4 if I can squeeze it in for time is running out. Currently the classes I want are:
Pathology
Human Growth and Development
PA Ana and Phys.

That will give me exactly 1/2 the curriculum finished for being a Physical Therapy Assistant. If I take another class that'd be towards my Biology degree plan, so we'll see. Jeannie is taking me up to the college tomorrow to settle things.

I finished Harry Potter tonight, the 5th book. I must say after 870 pages.. nothing really happened. The ending was completely lackluster and this big overarching secret about Harry could have been assumed by anybody. LAME

The GF suggested we spend a couple days together soon. I guess it doesn't have to be anywhere exotic but some place where we can just be together and be us. We'll see.. as much as I want to bring her close to me, I want to push her away... crazy scenario. I ordered a banana peppers Dominos Pizza tonight! I expect the shits in a few hours now :). That's basically all that happened today.

Back at LCCC

Well, I'm sitting at one of their computers, awaiting the verdict concerning my withdrawl from classes last semester. Either A. My debt last semester gets absolved and I can register for classes immediately, and have my student loans be applied. Or B. My attempt at a refund is denied, thus leaving me with a balance to the school and subsequently delaying my enrollment status and/or stopping it all together. I will get my verdit in 3 hours and 20 minutes. I could be golfing now, I could be getting a ride home. But here's where I want to be, I want to do this right and I want it done now. So I will stay, completely unaware how I'll get home, but despite the news either it's going to be a very long trip, or a very short one. As always, time reveals all.

long lines followed by long cries

So.. in continuation with my previous post, I leave the house around 5:30am to go donate plasma. Under the assumption that arriving there around 5:50 (40 min. before they open), will set me up for a quick departure.... Ooooh no, not the case. Not in the least bit. I arrive to see a line of.. oh, 40 people? What sucks is 3 days ago when I donated, I arrived at 6:30am to find a smaller line then this one? UGH, maybe because it's Friday. Nonetheless, a fairly insteresting occurence came about on the way back. As I'm pedaling under a bridge, I hear this kitten SCREAMING it's little heart out. Crying and crying for what I could only assume, it's mama. It was behind a fence, and it was dark so it was hard to see but man.. Cute little grey kitten keeping it's distance from me as it ran back and forth, and eventually across the street, which was scary... and then out of view. I tried feeding it my peanut butter crackers but it wouldn't oblige. Poor thing.. it makes you think there's something out there in a worse predicament than you. And thus, being thankful for what you have, is a little easier when in the presence of a further deprived being.

The Night Owl Affair

I admit it. I'm cheating on my girlfriend, but it's worse than you think. It's not a common "man" "woman" relation... ooooh noo. What has got me twisted is my addiction to being a Night Owl. A type of social beastiality if you will (eww gross). It's so fucking odd. I just don't like to sleep at night. I feel content when in solitude, motivated when not rushed, and comfortable when there's no sun (sooo fucking hot here). I am getting up at 5am, well normal people would be getting up at 5am. Me? Well, I will continue to be awake when that time comes around. For I have to donate my life juice, obtain records from a hospital, then hightail it to the college. woof. Then the possibility of a round of golf and Cici's Pizza comes into play.. Ahh, life is purposeful when pizza is a plenty. :)

Up Already

After the day's events I just collapsed into bed around 4 this afternoon. Solely intending on getting up around 5 to go donate. Well, I got up when I wanted to, but I was too freakin' hot to feel like contributing to my own well being let alone doing something for others. Thus after an extended nap, my jacked up sleeping schedule continues in full force with me now being obligated to be awake until the end of time. Ugh. Somehow I have to be at LCCC at 8:30AM tomorrow, and I genuinely have no clue how I'm getting out there...

Tired

Well, I had my interview and guess what? I get to wait some more!! Yaaa, as if waiting a month wasn't enough. Somehow in this day and age, background checks take 30 days! Awesome. It sucks when you desperately need something... Because if something gets delayed in the slightest, it exponentially raises your stress. :(.

I'll make do, everyone else does

Up early.. well I never slept

Stayed up all night, excited with anticipation to find employment outside of the restaurant industry. A career graveyard that sucks the life out of you and has you completely dependent upon the gratitious nature of others. At times, a verbal gratuity is all that you'd get.

So I'm here, awake at 5:14am, I need to travel 23.8 miles to an important interview concerning my short term job status, which is currently none. Fortunately bus routes go out there, and I can't pay the fare with a credit card =/. I make do though, for I have to, and I want to BE where I want to BE.. if that makes any sense. So, I have to tweak my resume, take an online test, formulate a plan to get out there and make myself pretty (It does happen!). Well, 1 small step for John, 1 giant leap for John's mind. Cliches are so handy sometimes, perhaps that's why they are what they are. Ya know, to make yourself sound witty when you're not.. Or when you lack words to say what you want, you can always fall back on a cliche. Hey, you might raise some eyebrows if you quote a lesser known one =). Who am I talking to anyway? hehe, I'm new at this, and it already has a therapeutic effect.
