Hmm...

Well,

I figure I might as well post. I'm just sitting about here right now in Alfred, my friend wandered off for a while while I was asleep. Eventually woke up and now I'm sitting about waiting for her to return. It's been a fairly fun weekend so far, though I am certainly tired. I probably should've slept much longer than I did last night. Sometimes you wake up when you wake up however.

I guess I'm just doing some thinking right now, mind wandering to friends and such, wondering how everyone is doing. Wishing that I could see a few more people. I don't know, my mind wont focus on any one topic just now, I think it's the fatigue. Yeah, it has to be. I'll get more sleep tonight, I will have to as I do plan to drive out tomorrow around noon, which should get me home around 5-6 pm (depending on weather, traffic and construction).

I'll write a more detailed entry then, when I'm a little more conscious and better able to write what is on my mind rather than just random babble.

A Post

A simple post, saying that I do happen to be still alive and I do still know what this website is.

Probably would not have posted without a friend I know having wanted me to read hers, and eventually driving me into writing a bit. I'm not going to post much now either, because I have other things to do. But, a post! I'll say a little about what has been up with me lately somewhat later in the day, such as after physics tonight. Bye all!

Quick question for you all...

Anybody know what the name for a staff with a blade on each end is?

Mon, 12 Jan 2004 05:33:49 GMT

I'll give a detailed post later. I'm just saying that I'm in Troy for the evening, crashing at REV's place (Thanks a lot for the ride, and the place to sleep!) and tomorrow I'm going back to Poughkeepsie. I'll post tomorrow, after my job interview.

Sylvia, you should feel better too!

Time to get going.

It's 2:30 am, and I'm tired. I spent yesterday evening/today afternoon at a LAN party, and subsequently got little sleep. What I did manage to accumulate came from spending time talking until we fell asleep, as opposed to the three-hour Facing Worlds 2 marathon we had on Unreal Tournament...that's always fun. I still beat everyone in the group as a sniper. The event was a much needed distraction from the realities of life right now. Despite the good things, bad news still hits me.

I intend to go job-hunting in person on Monday, already did go around online...sent out a bunch of applications. I'm really hoping that Omega might have a position for me, something year-round. I really enjoyed working there. We'll find out on Monday though, when I call Laurie Zollo (my boss over the summer) to see about it.

Beyond that, there's some chance that one of these places hiring might actually get back to me about one of the open positions. Here's hoping, I really need a job. Not next month. Now...

Well..

Fri, 02 Jan 2004 23:15:04 GMT

I promised to update this, and so I will.

What to talk about though?

I guess I might as well start with New Year's, as there isn't much else fresh in my mind.

I went up to Troy, to Ed & Shannon's for a party. Can't much complain about that! I'm glad I went, I had a good time. There was the usual party stuff...mixed drinks, lots of people hanging out, being silly. Virginia spent time playing Super Mario. I played a game of chess. We spent half an hour making pointless toasts. Some weren't pointless though, like one to Ed & Shannon for hosting the thing. Thanks to you two again!

I actually spent much of the evening chatting and flirting with this cute girl. She knows who she is, those of you there know who she is (or so I could imagine). The rest of you...hah! You'll find out who she is. I do like her though. It's not just that I think she's cute (though she is). Well, we'll see what happens there. *hides in some embarassment as he realizes she's going to read this*

Got bad news when I got home though. Through reasons I care not to discuss, it would appear that I am not going to be able to attend college for a semester or two. Needless to say, this brought my high crashing down. Not too much to say about that, save that I'm looking for a job in the area now, and hopefully I will find one soon.

Hope everything is well for all of you! I'll see people soon. (Keegan Party, Shannon mentioned another party at their place, and I have an invite to Player's in Feb as well) Enjoy!

Short update

Thu, 16 Oct 2003 20:49:22 GMT

I'm alive. I'm tired. I'm going to pack tonight for the weekend. See some of you there. Have fun, until tomorrow! (or whenever I run into you again).

Thu, 09 Oct 2003 16:27:43 GMT

I really hate it when I get the flu. I've got it right now, and I feel pretty bad. I suppose things could be worse however. I'm just spending my days at home, relaxing and playing games. Doing the schoolwork I can (mostly physics, as that teacher's work is posted online).

On a good note, things have actually been going well for me (sans flu). I'm picking up French pretty easily. Physics is a breeze. Math is boring as hell, that teacher could put an insomniac to sleep. And my other class, Philosophy, is rather interesting. I'm working part-time, taking classes full-time. I guess all is looking good.

And the playoffs this year are great. I just hope the BoSox and Cubbies win their respectice LCS. Anyway, I'm going to go make lunch, have fun all!

Yes, I am still alive.

Mon, 06 Oct 2003 14:48:44 GMT

Hello, I know I haven't posted in ages. I just keep forgetting to I suppose. Anyway, I'm here, alive. I'm taking classes at the local community college, not the University at Buffalo (and not by choice there, wish I had more money). I'm working part-time at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck (www.eomega.org). I finally have my driver's license, so I can get places when I need to. This isn't going to be much longer, many of you that will read this are probably APO people, so I should see most of you in a couple weeks at Sectionals! I look forward to it, have fun all!

I haven't done any public posts in a while, all the ones I have made have been private, or to specific people. There is a lot on my mind, many things I need to think about and work out.

I have made mistakes. I know this, I do not know what all of them are, but I will do all in my power to find out. I've disappointed too many people lately, myself included.

I am sorry if I have ever hurt, annoyed or made anybody uncomfortable with my actions, both those people reading this and those not. I simply ask that if I ever do, let me know so I can try to solve the problems I have.

I will be quiet for a length of time, I need to be introspective. Perhaps it is for the best that I remain silent anyway.

I will have a long post with events and perhaps some of my internal thoughts, but not until this weekend is over. I need the time to think and be certain of where I stand. For even there I am confused.

Thu, 03 Apr 2003 18:42:35 GMT

I know, I haven't posted in a while. There just hasn't been anything to talk about. My life has been boring. I've been going to classes, watching ballgames, doing schoolwork, doing regular work. Got a bit on my mind.

Don't know if I'll be able to get to Chi Pi's initiations now, I'll have to see if I can get a ride there. Which leads to another thing that is on my mind, but I'll save that for a less public post. Actually directed at one person.

I'm going to see if I can get one friend a ride back from Sectionals...man, I just have so much on my mind right now, don't really want to discuss all of it. We'll see.

Been a while

Wed, 26 Mar 2003 03:53:59 GMT

It's been a while since I last posted. I've been busy, it happens I suppose.

My PDA broke, as said. The screen shattered, it'll cost $100 to repair it. I'd rather get a new one, which I will do. I probably won't be able to replace it until June, but that might change... You see, I got a job today! I'll be working 25-30 hours a week (yes, it is a lot on top of schoolwork and APO, but I can handle it, it's just scheduling what I want to do that'll be a pain) at Fuddruckers just off of campus. The manager is good about scheduling, he told me that if I need something off, just tell him a couple weeks in advance, so I will be able to get to sectionals. One thing I do have to figure out is if they can deposit the money into my bank in Poughkeepsie, or if I should just open an account at HSBC or something, probably the latter.

I also picked up Linkin Park's new CD. It's a good one, I'm glad I went today instead of waiting, as the LE was on sale for $15 instead of $20. Hell, the regular CD was $10 instead of $15, but I decided to buy the LE since I could.

What else... Well, played video games in the Spaulding Locked Lounge today. I kicked ass at Twisted Metal Black. Gotta love the clown! Ok, I'll leave it at that as I'm drawing a blank now. Tschuss!

I had other things I intended to talk about, but right now I'm too pissed at my broken PDA to concentrate to write them. Damn screen shattered and it'll cost me $100 to repair it. I'm better off buying a new one.

There's nothing quite so frustrating as having an upset friend that you can't cheer up :( Sorry hon...

What to write?

Tue, 18 Mar 2003 03:10:25 GMT

Long, long week. Spring Break sucked, but I'll live. Today was long and mildly confusing...I spent just about all of it doing work, I checked over my midterm again, handed it in tonight. Figured out that I _can_ manage to schedule the Zwan & Queens of the Stone Age concert in, so I will be going. I'll just have to head out to Alfred for Sectionals the next morning. Mike Richardson and I will arrange how we're going to do that in a couple days. I'm not thinking straight right now, so I'll leave a message later.

Yawn

Tue, 11 Mar 2003 17:45:34 GMT

I've been so tired these past couple of days...ah well, my sleep schedule is really mixed up right now. Anyway, it's been a slow couple of days. Phone call on Sunday night (the bad thing that happened) was my girlfriend breaking up with me. Spent yesterday hanging out with friends, we played some pool and darts...gotta wonder how plastic darts get stuck in the wall. Watched Eddie Izzard for the first time. Today I'm just sitting around relaxing. Nothing much to talk about.

Mon, 10 Mar 2003 03:53:38 GMT

I had a good weekend, not really in a mood to go into much more detail than that. Let's just say I enjoyed it. No, I did not do anything I shouldn't have. Well, one thing, but not bad. Except for Ed. Anyway, things were great until about 30 minutes ago, now I'm just sitting and thinking. Ah well, I'll live. And this computer is slow as hell...the letters are taking a while to come up after I type them.

Well

Fri, 07 Mar 2003 03:45:36 GMT

Spent the past three days tabling for APO, when not at class anyway. Didn't get anywhere near the donations I was hoping for the food/clothing drive. Many people said they would donate, but never showed up with stuff. Ah well, we got some things. That's good at least.

I'm leaving school for a week tomorrow, Spring Break begins when classes end, and I'm heading up to St. Lawrence University for the section 88 service project. That should be fun, lots of brothers, lots of people I haven't seen in a while (well, a month). Plus it's a trip, always good. Someone is going to give me a ride back to Poughkeepsie from there. I return home late Saturday evening.

My mom found a summer job for me at her workplace, it's 4 days a week, $10 an hour. Not a bad set of hours either, even though I do have to work the weekends. I'm looking forward to this, it'll be good for me.

I've spent the past hour or so fooling around with some modifications for MOO3. They made it incredibly simple to edit...which is wonderful if you're slightly perturbed by a few game balance issues, as I was. I'm happy now...plus fleets of 2000 ships is just too tempting to pass up. Can't wait to see that in action. Ok, time for me to get going.

Hrm...

Peri to Clayton: Why am I threatening you? You might enjoy it!

Master of Orion 3

Sun, 02 Mar 2003 03:38:40 GMT

Well, my life's gone. I got my hands on a copy of Master of Orion 3...this game truly is as amazing as I was expecting. I started playing it around 5:30, stopped when I was in a bad spot for my empire and noticed 5 hours had passed. I definately think that the in-game alarm is a good idea. I'm going to have fun with this thing...

It's been a while

Thu, 27 Feb 2003 16:49:39 GMT

Haven't updated much lately. At least not anything meaningful. I've been sick, still am. Not as bad though.

I've been busy, had a lot of work to try and do. Unfortunately I still have more. So, off to do work I go. Have a good day all.

Well...

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 15:38:19 GMT

I only threw up once last night. I suppose that's an improvement. I'm out of things I can eat other than soup, so my diet will consist primarily of tomato soup for the next day or so. At least it's soothing my throat...

Still sick

Sun, 23 Feb 2003 23:10:20 GMT

Well, the flu sucks.

I'm sitting here, as I have been all day, resting and trying to feel a bit better. I've got a glass of water and a thing of tomato soup in front of me. I've got to eat something, that's the only thing I have that'd be easy on my throat (my bread was moldy). I want to hurt whoever put that glass bottle in our microwave, I dislike having to go to the 4th floor to use one, especially when sick. Ok, time to go lay down again, I'm getting another headache.

Sick sucks

Sun, 23 Feb 2003 13:56:25 GMT

I still feel like crap...only reason I'm not in bed right now is because I want to get a little food in my stomach. Threw up for a third time a few minutes ago. I just want to feel better...

Ugh...

Sun, 23 Feb 2003 07:24:47 GMT

Food is not going down easily :-/ I wish I had eaten something earlier.
