Life sucks. So I’ll be dropping a class. It’s not offered with any other professor, so I have to deal with the bastard.

Somebody broke into my car yesterday. I’ll be paying the first $500.

So, I need to plan a trip to Wisconsin. Life always has the worst timing doesn’t it?

Had a great time in GR with Jason and everyone. I was surprised so many people from K-Zoo came up. It was weird to be in a position where I was the new guy again, hasn’t happened in a while. Ryan made a good impression; he seemed to fit in with the group right away. It helps that he’s cute too.

What a shitty day. Could be worse though. I have the day off work tomorrow, hopefully I can fix the problems then, or at least get a head start on them.

Callie killed the rooster.

Dentist appointment in the morning.

I Robot was actually a very good movie. The Punisher, however, was not.

Cute guy at Papa Murphy’s. How can I find them when I come back, but not while I was here?

Hera and Rob are still “together”. Rob doesn’t seem too optimistic.

Jeremy is doing much better. He was actually walking w/o crutches. Although, they said they don’t even expect to be able to do the rectal reconstruction until May. Guess I never realized how bad off he was.

Wisconsin is freaking cold. It was -24 when I got home. It’s weird realizing the high temp is still going to be below zero. Supposed to get into the 30’s later this week though.

Seeing family is weird. Joanna looks like she lost 100lbs. Mary looks like she gained that much (she is under 5’ and was previously well over 200lbs.).

My aunt and cousin (mom’s side) moved into my grandparents’ old house. Grandparents are mostly moved into the new place.

Saw my nephew Lawrence for the second time. He’s huge. 17 months old, and he’s almost as tall as Marshall. Marshall is four years old and bigger than most kids his age. Lawrence likes to stick his fingers in Callie’s mouth. Callie is our guard dog, very large teeth and a rather assertive dog.

I’ve finally realized how screwed up my family is. My uncle pantsed my cousin’s son, in front of the whole family at dinner.

Why can’t a place rotate the tires, when you fucking pay for it? Tire rotation & oil change, I thought this service would be foolproof. Did get a good haircut today.

I think I’m in a good mood now. Talked with Josh today. A lot of it went very poorly, but I think we’re finally to a point of being semi-friends again. I’ll have to see how the future goes.

Jason, stay in Kalamazoo. I don’t want to try finding another roommate that I can be friends with. It’s too difficult.

Two finals tomorrow. One I’m worried about, the other I should be able to figure out. The girls are having their dinner, but I have to work. Hopefully company is still around by the time I get out.

Hanging out with Katie this weekend, I haven’t seen her for quite a while.

I feel as if I’m being blown off by you guys. So I will be giving you until Monday to get the money to me, or proof that it is in fact on its way. If not I will be filing in small claims court on Tuesday. Thanks for your cooperation.

You Are a "Don't Tread On Me" Libertarian



You distrust the government, are fiercely independent, and don't belong in either party.

Religion and politics should never mix, in your opinion... and you feel opressed by both.

You don't want the government to cramp your self made style. Or anyone else's for that matter.

You're proud to say that you're pro-choice on absolutely everything!

You Are the Individualist



4




You are sensitive and intuitive, with others and yourself.

You are creative and dreamy... plus dramatic and unpredictable.

You're emotionally honest, real, and easily hurt.

Totally expressive, others always know exactly how you feel.

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense."

What a day. Most of the following thoughts are not in chronological order, and are not organized in any meaningful matter.

Work was ok, nothing great, just another day. Picked up some alcohol for tonight and had lunch at the guy’s place. Left a little early.

Arrived at the guys place but, ended up leaving right away to do a Taco Bell run. Service was slow, but my taco was good. Jeremy was too drunk to figure out how to order. I ended up telling James the order, as I had already went through the line, waited for, and received my food. I realized that Jeremy is very charming. While this sounds really dumb even to me, just think about it. He is a complete ass, yet many people (including myself) still like him. Like I was embarrassed how he hit on a girl in Taco Bell as she walked in with her boyfriend. Yet I still ignore it. I’m trying to think of any nice things he’s done or said to me. Amanda made the reference that she only hears my name in reference to wine night. That’s really depressing to me. Do people really only remember me when I’m obnoxiously drunk? Jeremy and Andy’s current Amanda argued about which Star Wars was the best for roughly ½ an hour (prior to my arrival). Jeremy seemed completely unaware that he played on Xbox all night and only occasionally joined in conversation. Andy had a little temper thing with the poker game. Then half the party left. When he came back out it was just me, him, James, and Jeremy sitting around talking. Very wide range of topics, Andy did very well in supporting his views and actually having thought the views out. Jeremy on the other hand frustrated me. Mostly because the biggest issue for me was Proposal 2/gay marriage. It had started out as just an informational talk, which with Jeremy thrown in became a political debate. He made many arguments that upset me, and here’s the few I remember. Gays should not have the same tax breaks as straight people, because I could marry my best friend just for benefits. Gays have the ability for both to work so they don’t need the breaks people with kids need. With straight people it is understood the wife will stay at home with the kids while the husband goes to work. Since that relationship isn’t there with gays, they don’t need the extra benefits. Until a way is found for gays, and others pretending to be, to not abuse the system the ability to marry should not exist. Gays need to propose the solution that is acceptable to mainstream America. I’m not going to go into great detail with that one… Later it morphed into DNA profiling, where he made this analogy to Andy: When your daughter is raped, do you want them to use DNA evidence. Andy got very mad at this point, with what I believe to be very good reason. Jeremy suggested that Andy will someday be in a relationship which has created a child. In this case, a daughter, who will be raped. Really not an appealing thing to think about.

Not long after all of that, Andy got a scratch on the back (for which I received the first smile I’d seen in about an hour) and I left.


On a side note I was almost t-boned by a cop. Dumb bitch tried to run a blind stop sign.

Tomorrow is another day.

Edit 2:33AM: Sorry if anyone’s feelings were hurt in the preceding, I just needed to write some thoughts down and need to think about them myself as well.

How can a day be so fucked up and so great at the same time?

Traffic was horrible. A guy came at me while I was driving through downtown (it’s one way). Traffic stopped on west main, all the way back by Drake and continued until after 131. Was almost late for work.

Had a customer from hell, over the phone.

Getting along well with Charles and Mike, they really helped pick the day up. Had a quick chat with Tyler. Wide scope, interesting conclusions.

Travis and Amy visited tonight. Very pleasant experience.

That’s about as detailed as I feel like being tonight, even though there’s so much more to say. Night all.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (Reuters) -- A man leaped into a lion's den at the Taipei Zoo on Wednesday to try to convert the king of beasts to Christianity, but was bitten in the leg for his efforts.

"Jesus will save you!" the 46-year-old man shouted at two African lions lounging under a tree a few meters away.

"Come bite me!" he said with both hands raised, television footage showed.

One of the lions, a large male with a shaggy mane, bit the man in his right leg before zoo workers drove it off with water hoses and tranquilizer guns.

Newspapers said that the lions had been fed earlier in the day, otherwise the man might have been more seriously hurt ... or worse.

Got the results back from my exam in microeconomics. 42% of the class failed. I am happy to announce that I got a B. Maybe if I actually study next time I can pull off an A. Why can’t all of my classes be this easy?

I’m trying to keep up on my Woohu entries now. I had forgotten how helpful they can be. They’re therapeutic in some sort of fucked up way. Not much is really happening in my life. I’m getting into another routine. While it is comforting to get settled down, it gives me more time to think, which makes me uncomfortable. Arg.

Damn cute men. They just have a way of invading your thoughts.

Anyway, Jay IMed me tonight. Completely didn’t expect that. After that chat with Paul I assumed when he said we, it was he and Jay. Apparently it was Josh? Which surprises me because even though we aren’t friends anymore, I thought we were on decent terms. I had actually thought about trying to establish a friendship again, to see if it was just living with him that pissed me off. The short conversation on the phone with him was civil. For the most part I can look back on the experiences at that house and laugh about it. Maybe laugh isn’t the right word. It’s not to the point of being funny yet, but I’m comfortable, I don’t think of it as a thing I should be mad about, it’s the past, I learned something from it, and now it’s time for something new. I guess that’s mostly why this utility thing pisses me off. It’s like I’m going to have a hard time moving on now. I guess I’m just too emotional.
