Get a grip

Well, yesterday was pretty normal. I bombed the pre-calc test because of not waking up in time because of my roommate making a snide comment and me being gullible when I awoke. Long story once again. I hate him. On a brighter note I got 440 bucks back for an overcharge plus a 200 some dollar paycheck. I treated my friends to a dinner at Denny's. Stayed with Mattia for awhile to have some fun, then went to a quad with some of my old friends. Had a keystone light which isnt that bad..........just doesnt really have a taste. Became a DD for my two friends. I had only had 1/4 of the beer, so I was good. Got to drive my friend's P.O.S. Went to sheetz and it was just a fun time all around. Got back to hang with Mattia for like 30 more minutes then went back to my room for much needed sleep. Realizing at 4:30 that I had to be up at 9 X_X to cover for someone.

Today I woke up late and got to work mostly on time. Chuck was very forgiving. Went to the Tailgate party for the rivalry games. In all fairness I did show up 4 hours late due to work, but damn there was not a beer left it seemed like, unless I would stoop to Natty Light (BARF!). Got to see some people that I remembered from the first time around this place. They were by far the most entertaining to see. Me and Mattia watched the Girl's game and then the Guy's game. Stood in the Birdcage for one half, but after that we decided to sit down again. After that I got Chuck to take me on a beer run. I bought a good 50 bucks worth of booze. We saw Lawi at Kroger's, the crazy Kenyan Cross Country runner walked there in cold weather. We kindly gave him a ride back. We all stopped at Sheetz and got some food, I bought Lawi a Fiji water cause it is the shit. Me and chuck had a beer or two and watched a movie. And as for now I should go to bed because I've had the equivalent of 6 beers in about 2 hours and I've got a massive headache plus all of that compounded by lack of a decent night's sleep. I'm sleeping in tommorrow..........16 hour record might get annihilated.

My life is so hard [Play Linkin Park now]

Well, I new today wouldnt start off good when I saw the snow outside my window. I was going to wake up early to finish my English homework and woke up with just enough time to get a shower. Check blackboard and find out that we had a test today, YAY! So I get there and do pretty decently on the test I believe. I think I understood it better than the last one. I get out early and go to lunch. And my day continues to get worse, I think my prediction from last post was correct, but I dont mind since I knew it would happen.

From Lunch I'm feeling good about the Philosophy test I studied for after I ate my popcorn chicken (Decent lunch atleast). Get there and get the test. 75% of it is on the 2 days I was absent..............................yeah.

So I get back to the dorm and talk with Luke. He brings up interview times for being an RA. I go to the mail room after dropping off my english homework to my teacher's office (hopefully she will get it before she reports midterms). I get a nice letter that thanks me for applying but I dont meet the minimum requirements for the GPA. I call the numbers it listed and go down to the registrar's office. Turns out a D I had in Spanish 3 from my first time here dropped my gpa from a 2.52 to a nice 2.25 cumulative. So that was a fuck over again, except this was a nice 7k fuck over. So I guess the first class I retake next semester will be Spanish 3, which will be easy if I go to class. The dean even told me to retake it at the beginning of the year, but I didnt even imagine I would go for an RA position. Meh, enough ranting on that situation.

I'm amazed that my good few days could turn into shit this quickly.

Anyway, need to look at a book for a test tommorrow, look over pre-calc for the midterm tommorrow, and finish up my chem homework. Atleast it is getting somewhat better. Got to see Chirs Lim alot today and hoagie night was decent. The pistol and my future car are just a distant thought now.

XDXDXDXDXDXD

Well, I'm actually posting somewhat regularly.

So, the other day I went to Cabela's and fell in love. Her name is the Springfield Armory XD Tactical .40S&W. Here is a little reference on her http://www.springfield-armory.com/prod-xdpstl-long.shtml and I will most likely go for the black.

Today has gone pretty good so far. Woke up a little late for work, did most of my chem homework. Got to chem and found out he didn't want it today, but instead Friday. Afterwards I went to the kiosk with one of the girls from the class, she is awesome to talk to (remember my advice, talk to them and it is a good day). Got back to history and took notes. Got back quizzes and papers, high B's and an A- on an essay. So my grade in there should be okay from the quiz and paper I bombed. At pre-calc we did nothing and I think I pinpointed my problem with focusing. So I get to see Chirs Lim at the ARC tommorrow, so that should be cool and I will learn more stuff.

My plan for spring break is to "re-masculinize" Luke with plenty of shooting and good ole' boy fun. Miranda has given him that "LOVE FEELING" thing. I think I used to remember what that was like, but that was awhile ago. Hopefully I will experience it again soon. I'm really happy they are together, I have faith in that relationship.

But for now I have to go to work in 3 minutes and then do homework.

Yet another weekend down the ole crapper

Ended up going home and transporting my shotgun back. Didnt do much at home.........like anything at all. Gave the shotgun a good coat of RemOil after hearing offers on it, watched Aliens on TCM, ate, slept alot. Came back in time to work and got sheetz. I <3 Fiji water, tastes like the well water at home. Realized that I am not doing as bad as I thought in class, but need to improve alot. Right now I am talking to a few friends and am contemplating on what firearm to purchase next. I have a large paycheck coming in soon so that might require a trip to cabelas. Anway, I'm out for tonight and hope to post more often.

How do I shotgun? LOLz

Well, today started off pretty shitty. I woke up ten minutes before my chem test which I was planning on waking up early and studying. Went there, hoping the axe could cover up most of my smelliness. Thankfully my hair wasn't too out of control. I don't know how I did on the test. The multiple choice was horribly worded and worth 80 of the 100 points. I think I got the other problems right, but that is only 20 some points. And I forgot my calculator so I had to do all the multiplication and division by hand...yay! After this I went back to the dorm to clean up some and study for my Pre-calc quiz. I don't know how I did on this. This time it was the simple properties of arithmetic that I forgot. I hate math, but have decided this is the last quiz I will let myself fail. ARC and BOX will help me from now on.

After all the hell, I decided to skip the movie I need to watch today (don't worry, I can watch it tomorrow after work). So I went to Cabela's with Tim and Nick to see about purchasing the firearm I was talking about the other day. This Yugo SKS has a scope and ultralight stock on it. Got there and it was sold. I found my dream gun though, a Russian M44. The problem was that the action was pretty nasty and the price was way too much for the gun. Initially it was thought to be made in China, but I found later it had a very faded Russian marking. So leaving Cabela's heartbroken, we went back to an aquatance's apartment. Tim had to store a firearm and showed me the others he had collected. He showed me his shotgun that I hadn't seen. The shotgun was in great shape and came with ammo and accessories. Through Cabela's trying to give him about half of what he paid when he wanted to sell it back, he offered it to me for an astounding 130 dollars. I hesitated, looking the gun over in the process. I got my trusty cell phone and secured some monetary funds for my check book. Immediately cut the check. So I ended up purchasing a firearm that day. Going home this weekend to get it cleaned and calibrated (if it needs any sort of, which I doubt). I had my mom tell my uncle the specs (Mossberg 835, great condition, 100 rounds or so through it). Later on I turn my cell phone back on and find voicemail. I call back home since they are the only ones that usually call and I don't know how to use my voicemail. Turns out my uncle will buy it if I do not like it, he actually wants to know more about it and Tim's firearms for sale. I was very happy.

I also ended up staying up doing laundry with Luke because he invited me to do so. So we can both get to know Miranda better, mainly for his sake. Nothing much happened, Talked to A-train for a bit and gave him some more advice that should help him and might end up having him change his major. Fun times were had by all. As for now though, I'm going to get some sleep.

Ever have a meh weekend?

Well, I haven't gotten back friday and saturday night before 5am this weekend. That is always good. I'll try and recap what I can by day:

Friday. Well, I wake up and find that I only have 3 shirts I want to wear left. 2 hawaiian shirts and a purple polo. I decided on the polo. I spill apple juice on it. I break out the best of the hawaiian shirts (the loudest one). After class I have to run some errands. I'm on my way to Kroger's and my friend from WVU calls, also named Levi, so he decides to come up and spend a few hours up in the great Wheeling. I go to the book store to find that they dont have the chem book I need and cash a check for 20 bucks at the Business office to live for the week. My friend shows up and I treat him to dinner in our cafeteria. He is amazed at how small the campus seems, which it is. My RA ends up driving us to Cabela's because my friend has never been. I find a gun I'm seriously considering purchasing. We get back and my friend leaves back for the land of Fratness. I end up in Luke's room with Chuck and Matt Galvin playing video games. We end up going to Denny's because I we are hungry, and dinner sucked. The whole atmosphere at Denny's ended up sucking. We get back the same time one of my friends is driven back. He is obliterated. Mr. X as he shall be called is so bad that I end up walking him back to his dorm to make sure he has a safe journey. At the front desk we find everyone's favorite deigo, Mattia. I end up sitting with Mattia and meeting a new woman, Mr. X is taken back to his room by his RA. She is basically the "mothering" type for the drunks, makes sure they are okay. She says I remind her of her cousin, so my chances for getting laid are knocked to 0 unless she likes incest. I end up seeing alot of my "old hall" friends coming into this dorm, they are for the most part, drunk. I think next week I might try and get the motivation for the ressurection of the community for one night (I <3 vague wording). At the dorm Mattia has to do his job and keep the fights from happening, I'm mainly used for intimidation if anyone tries to mess with Mario, I mean, Mattia. Oh, and I offend the RA's on duty with some "slang". We (Mattia, the girl I met, and I) walk back to our respected dorms, I break away from the group to go back to my hellhole, I mean, room. I left one last impression that Mattia will probably not forget. Everyone in my english class is starting to see the real me, I am too shy in the class and gives the wrong impression. Back at the dorm I talk with Darrick, Luke, and A-train (the resident old man/greatest guy around) about stuff that has happened that night.

Saturday (today/up till this post is published): I wake up at 12:39.........so much for my 2 hour Pre-Calc study session that started at 10am. I wait a little for Mattia because he wanted to play the Punisher video game (which is sweet). Chirs Lim and I talk on aim and invites me to watch Logan's Run along with my friend's girlfriend. I've never really met Heather before today, but I definitely made an impression today (good or bad, who the hell cares). We end up watching Logan's Run and bust up laughing because of our "comments". I am banninated and have my speaking priveleges revoked till the end of the movie (didnt work). Afterwards we go to dinner, go back to the dorm for a little bit more, and end up leaving at 7 because she had to go work at the game room. I walk with them for a little and go back to the dorm. I work from 8-10, stop some assholes on a technicallity, I was somewhat satisfied because I absofuckinglootely hate the one guy. Afterwards I hang with Pat, Luke, Miranda, Miranda's Friend, and Matt. We break apart so Luke and Miranda can watch the movie I picked out, they didnt get to finish it due to interruptions from various people. I'm debating on getting fucked up or not, I'm not wanting too but I need it after the phone call today. Instead, I get an IM from Nate to watch the Transporter. I get Darrick to go too. While watching a fight is starting to assemble. I do my part to warn the proper authorities because I didnt want any of my friends to get in trouble and the fact that I am pretty much fed up with the dick contest this season starts. After everything calms down, I end up going back to my room for a bit. End up in Luke's room talking about random things with our lives. And now I'm here because he went to sleep. And to end this post I will steal something from Chirs Lim's blog( http://utarempire.blogspot.com ):

What I learnt from Street Fighter Alpha 3:
When you travel the world, jet lag does not apply to those of the street fighting world. One day you are fighting a mutant in Brazil, then the next day you are fighting a flamboyant spaniard who is into S&M sex with his claw and face mask in Italy. Oh, and super combos under a-ism = teh shiznit.

For lack of a better term......

Nobody in my Leadership Series class will ever see me in the same light ever again. The subject was brought up about discretion and student leaders. Of course, the guy sitting next to me was on my hall freshman year. Mr. Collins (first time I ever thought I would put a Mr. infront of that dude's name, he is so laid back I can't ever imagine him writing it) talked about how bad our hall was. Sure, we did a few (thousand) dollars worth of damages, and made him go back home at the end of the semester (to Canada, permanently). Then he said described my purchase of "two butt jigglers that used belts". At this point I am redfaced. Everyone is in stitches through the story and the few other things that were released about how bad we were. Then it comes out about how he used "too much" discretion is saying they had to leave immediately (because I wouldn't take him to Kroger's that night). Of course, my boss and friend, Dooley said "Well, these "assmachines" for lack of a better term." Which made me lose it again. Overall it was good.

The night was fun. I also got to see Nate for the first time in like a week.

Today was pretty boring. Think I bombed the multiple choice part of my english test, a new low for me, but turned in the essay that I didnt know was due today. Philosophy let out really early. Worked desk in Iggy and had Ash to keep me some company, time flew by. Usually that job is teh suck and I want to kill myself. Today I just wanted to kill the people I checked in, which is the norm in my building since they tend to be "above" any student that gets a paycheck from the university. Trying to get my last recommendation for my RA application. I hope I get in, but I have a feeling in the back of my mind that I wont. That feeling tends to be right. But it would be the biggest comeback for any failed out student at this university I believe.

Tonight is Hoagie night. I'm going to leave early and pick up the slanted man at the ARC so I am sure he will get some of the hoagie goodness. I need to sign up for an appointment sometime up there soon also, damn non-aryan sciences!!! (math, and you wonder why Hitler lost WWII :-p)

I need to sort out the women in my life, I think I need to set them all aside and just turn gay. Being gay would make alot of my current problems go away, too bad I hate anal sex and any penis besides my own. Of course it would make alot of other problems arise. I just cant win :-(

Well, back to worrying about grades and getting a girlfriend. On one final note, the assmachines are returning soon :-D

I r winnar r4wr

Well, looks like I have pretty much got the cold in the corner and am coming in with the final jab to its temple. Feeling a whole lot better than I have been recently.

I'm in an ecstatic mood. I believe it is because of getting over this shitty cold and from talking to women. If you are feeling depressed then I recommend talking to a woman, just any random one in class. Make sure she is a 5 or better on the 1 to 10 scale, otherwise it will just be depressing when you make eye contact.

Lent has arisen with Ash Wednesday, although I did enjoy Fat Tuesday for the most part. I am not Catholic, but have decided to give up booze. Yep, going on the water wagon for a jaunt. I believe it weakened my immune system and hence why I caught a cold.

Being sick had made me slow down a little and think about others more. I have a notion of regret in the back of my mind. Hopefully I will be able to cure this, but I fear it will result in another quest for a needle in a haystack.

And ending on that note, I am going to slow down some more. I get to work the desk in 20 minutes, the most mind-numbing and humiliating job one can have on this campus.

I hate being sick

Yeah, havent posted anything for a few days due to being ill. When I get sick I tend to hibernate. So Saturday and most of Sunday was a blur. Today I woke up early but skipped two of my classes and went to the third and bombed the quiz in said class. I feel a little better, but to make sure it isn't a false positive I am trying to stay in my room as much as I can till I feel atleast 85% or so. I'm around 70% right now. Still feeling a little weak, but the worst is over.

Some friends stopped by and checked in on me. They were worried due to not knowing my peculiar habits when I get sick. I did get to eat yesterday, ate all but two peices of a Vocelli's Bacon pizza. I still have some pepperoni pizza in my fridge but I am going to save that for later. Speaking of which, later.

5 bottle caps

Looking down in my desk drawer I notice 5 bottle caps and have a grim reminder that there is only one left to go. The first cap was the one that quenched the thirst brought on by a craving. It has a battle scar with a bottle opener on the inside, not much time was taken and it was roughly dispatched. Bottle cap number 2 was much more intricately taken off. The inside shows a truly beautiful pattern that one would expect to see resting on the face of a cut diamond. The third bottle cap was a cheap forgery of the second performed the same night. The fourth and fifth bottle cap which were harvested last night are as close to perfect as one can get. With minor distortion the insides are pristine, even if they contents they withheld were not so carefully consumed. This leaves me to the sixth bottle cap, its time is drawing near. Do not feel sorry for it, this is the destiny that all bottle caps are meant for.

Felt like writing something that is nice, so I just did. As for the rest of the day I might go and buy a 12 pack of High Life (longnecks only) since it is the same price as a six of St Pauli Girl and I like to alternate between decent and good beer. Doubt I will buy it though, it's a nice thought atleast. If you drink Natty Lite or Milwakee's Best, kill yourself. As for now I think I am going to sit back and chill for a little bit considering it is Friday. Or I might go and play some NES in another dorm. Either way though, I'm done for now.

I call my Body Pillow a Love Pillow

Just thought I would start the title with something I find so odd about Japanese pop culture products. Why on earth would you take a perfectly good body pillow (extremely long and moderately oversized pillow) slap on a pic of some animae babe or pr0n star? I would never ever want to clean one of those, but I would want one just for comedic value. Atleast the society of Japan still contributes to society with cars and video games, or is that a contribution?

The title came from last night. I went to the Leadership Series here on campus (4 week event to help determine who is best suited to be a Resident Assistant, Luceat, or if they wish to work Summer Conference). The second week of it was rather odd with morality questions and racial questions, almost felt like an ethics class in a sense. Afterwards me and 3 other friends went to Denny's as we do now as a tradition.

I have to break away to state this subject as to give it proper value; The waitress at Denny's we had is one most would lust after. This is a sleazy comment of course, but it is so true. She also has gotten used to us by now I think.

After Denny's we managed to make it to Wal-Mart (a whole .25 miles away) and I proceeded to get a bottle opener (as to partake in my favorite beer, St. Pauli Girl), Axe body spray (I for one think it was the lack of sleep and beer that made me get this), Altoids, and a Body Pillow. This was still not the best part of the night.

Once we got back at 2am, we managed to wrangle a smoke party. We had 7 people on one of the balconies in this dorm (located at the end of the halls). It consisted of 2 mini-cigars, 2 pipes, and 3 cigarettes. The smells were awesome, of course till I hit a "bitter spot" within my mini-cigar (hint, never leave tobbacco in a car glove box for 4 weeks). I was pleased though that my ceramic humidor that I bought for 10 bucks at the local tobbacconists worked quite well. The mini-cigars should have been much worse, but the few days in the humidor cleaned them up nicely.

Today I awoke to the fact that I had to hurry and finish up a chem 107 homework and get prepared for a presentation. When I arrived in the class at the last minute everyone was happy to see me since I was going first. It is nice to have an informal class such as that one, and things are actually learned and achieved. The presentation went fine but I turned in the chem homework late. Hopefully that wont account for much. I also recieved a nice surprise in the mail, a 72 pin connector for an NES. This is where the cartridge plugged into the NES system. It should fix the problems with the NES I sold a friend awhile back.

But alas, I must bid ado for today. I have to finish my beer then go to work in another building for an hour.

Since all my friends are doing it......

I figured I would start a blog so I could share some of the things that go through my warped mind. Also for the fact that all my friends have one and figured I might as well jump on the bandwagon.

My life so far has been pretty uneventful lately. For the last few weeks the anxiety of school is starting to catch up. Being my first spring semester here I am worried that I might be slacking too much. This feeling is perpetuated by my lack of good grades. I am going to start getting help with the evil non-aryan science of Pre-Calculus (No, I'm not a racist. Just pointing out how stupid the Nazi psuedo-theology mixed with science was).

Also girl troubles are a constant here. Mainly my lacking ability to get one. I can talk to them and get them interested in me, but unfortunately I have never been known to be one who "closes the deal" as they say. I do enjoy talking with my other friends over relationship problems. I can always seem to help them out with some insights into basic psychology and philosophy, atleast I think I can.

Enough background info for today. Today was pretty boring all around. Worked my last hours this week. Dont have to worry about that hellish job till Sunday night. Went to all of my classes and might not have done so well on a quiz about Ignatius of Loyola. One of the downfalls of being a Protestant at a Jesuit college is that you dont have the needed info from high school in one's memory. Math class I just zoned out on due to being bored and confused, have to get the notes off of someone and start getting tutored.

Well, I am off for now. I kept this post very tame compared to when speaking with me in public. Expect some material that might be odd or off the wall. As for now, I must do homework.
