so i voted for the first time today. not too exciting. i just want kerry to win. please please please? I don't think I can stand living in the US knowing that Bush is going to be running the world for the next 4 years. It's like giving a monkey a loaded gun and letting him loose in a preschool.

it's sooooooooo tempting to send back one of those preapproved credit card thingies. But before I get another one I want to find one that gives me something in return. What's the best one in that regard? Visa? Mastercard? Amex? Discover? Somebody help me PLEASE?!?!? My e-mail's in my profile, either comment or send me an e-mail please.

nobody that I know has made it public. it's the general consensus among my friends (or so it seems) that bush sucks ass. This is a good thing -- hopefully they all vote and we get rid of bush for good. I know Kerry has my vote.

but it's taking up a lot of room. in my room. which now doesn't have much of its namesake. hrm. I've got to clean but I don't really feel like it. Maybe if I kick everything under my bed nobody will notice. i've also got to call bank one and see if I can get a loan through them. If I can, I need to see when I can get it and for how much extra. Grr. So much work. Maybe I should check

I can't wait. Hopefully sometime after Halloween. I just love the Christmas atmosphere. Maybe it's the nostalgia for last year coming back. Every year it seems that the year before was great. Maybe that means every one of my years is getting better then? I hope I can say the same about his one.

...good moby song. cleaning my room now. well, kinda. more like posting in my blog and downloading music. but hey, same difference, right? My mum moved her treadmill out today, so I CAN, if I want and get bored, go get my bed and put it together here. Sounds like a lot of work. Though it WOULD be nice to have my own bed again. Really nice. It's the whole bit about transporting it back

i slept all day. from like 4 a.m. this morning until about 4 p.m. this afternoon. had a crazy messed up dream that a friend of mine was kidnapped by the vietnamese and that I was trying to figure out how we could get him back. when i woke up i saw that there was a show playing on the tv about the vietnamese and US army rangers and stuff. Maybe that's the cause of my dream... weird.

So Schober and I drew up some preliminary plans for our urban exploration group. We made a supply list and decided a couple minor things. We're looking for two more people for the group so that we can make use of a buddy system. Pairs are safer than singles -- especially when exploring dangerous parts. You can see what Schober drew up here. Now we're looking for places to go. If anybody has any

this weekend rolled on by and we're at Sunday night again. Schober is creating what I think is going to be a kickass D&D campaign. I can't wait to be a player again. I get these little bouts of depression. There're just little things that make me unhappy. Stuff that shouldn't, but I have problems I guess... I think that in order to be happy I constantly need attention, and I need to

but sadly, without a website for me. I decided not to renew my .mac subscription and as a result lost my website. It sucks because I've been there for about 3 years if I remember right. It was nice to have a place to store my stuff. But now I have nothing :( I have a gmail account and a regular AIM account instead of a .mac address. Damnit, why do they have to make it so difficult to break

I can't remember it right now. Damnit all. Been rocking out with my guitar this morning. I can't believe I ever quit. I need to get new cables and picks. Eventually a new guitar and a new amp. We'll see when that happens... I hope I remember what I was going to write... On another note, I finally got a Gmail account! I'm sooooo happy! I've been updating all my accounts that had e-mail

you should write them after you've gotten done writing, because it's either an idea or a summary of what you wrote. well, maybe if your posts are planned out then it'd be fine to write it first, but in my case, I ramble and then summarize. anyways... So this morning I got a call from RnR Real Estate saying that I wasn't getting my security deposit back. I'm going to have to call and bitch.

We'll see about that. That's what Schober ordered though, since I haven't been updating lately. So heregoes... Being back is nice. I need a break from work. I've worked the last 6 days. If they need me to come in for my call-in shift tomorrow, that'll be 7 days straight. So let's all hope Paul gets a day off tomorrow, k? I've been keeping up on Mt. Saint Helen's lately. There's something

for now at least. I'm working from Thursday-Sunday at Pottery Barn, so I'm back in town for a bit. Staying at Angela's so far. We'll see if that works out. I kinda missed Chicago in the few days that I was gone, but I don't miss it so much right now. In fact, I wish I was back home, sad to say. I'll probably post more tomorrow night when I'm bored and have nothing to do. Now I need to sleep

and by the way, the last post was a bit delayed. I think I wrote it last Thurs or Fri. Can't remember. Somehow it was saved as a draft. Anyways... So it's really nice to be back home. Saw my Grandparents, my friends -- Josh, Schober, and Chris (along with a few new ones) yesterday. Found out some great news from Aaron that he's got a full-time architecture job in Wisconsin. In Mineral Point

I want it but can't get it. If ANYBODY reading has any extra invites, PLEASE send one my way? Well, I'm moving back tomorrow afternoon. Night. Whatever. It's going to be so weird. I don't know where I'm gonna stay in my parents house. Probably my old room. I need to research where I want to go for college. After I figure that out I can start the application process and get my next

Uh, I can't believe I just quoted David Bowie. So, change of plans. We found a place, I put $200 down on it, and then I changed my mind. I don't want to go to this school for the next quarter. I want to go home and decide where I'd like to get my schooling. Something tells me that after I graduate from this school, it won't be something I'm too impressed with myself about, nor too happy

it's weird. i was thinking about how since i've been down here I haven't been who I normally am, if that makes any sense. change in scenery and living conditions and all. lately though I've been becoming myself again. getting back into computers more. skateboarding. guitar. playing games. I think it'll happen even more once I have my own room in our new place. I'm not sure about what I

so my time at the Belmont House is almost up. We got our final warning about a noise complaint, which is bullshit because we haven't done anything. And, it doesn't even matter because we're moving out in 2 weeks. Aaron's back. Earlier than I had expected, which is great. I'm going to see if he wants to come down on Wednesday night and then we'll go out hunting for apts on Thurs and Friday.

I should blog more, but I don't have much time to, nor too much to say. Aaron's back in the States next Friday. Wait. Maybe this Friday? I'll have to check quick. 2 Fridays. That's scary and cutting it really close for finding a place. We need money and all that jazz. Ah well, I'm confident it will all work out. Been working on a homework project like mad the last couple days. Finally

so my net access is a little more steady. hurrah for that. think i've found a new place, down in Old Town (which is just a little north of the Loop, and close to Lincoln Park). Good price. Just hope it's liveable. Excited because I'm getting back into music. Recorded my friend Sandee the other day. Going to be buying better tools and setting up a studio. that's all for now.

WoW. That's a shitload of posts. Who'd of thought that I'd still be at it after this long? Missing my buds up in Mad City. Hope to see them soon. Heather and my parents are coming down Labor Day Weekend, so that'll be cool. Still looking for a new, affordable place in Chicago. Aaron's coming down in October to live with me. Getting a 2-bedroom somewhere hopefully by Lincoln Park area. Oh

so life's going pretty well down here in chicago. It's fun as long as you have money. When you don't, it sucks. Sure there's the lake nearby, but there's only so much you can do with a lake. It's pretty much limited to looking at, and swimming in if you don't mind gross lake-water. but, money's not TOO much of a problem right now. I'm getting financial aid money so I can buy stuff for a

yeah, you're probably wondering where the hell I've been. Well, I've been without internet -- that's where. and it sucks and rocks at the same time. I miss my internet, but it's good I don't have it because then I'd be doing that all the time instead of socializing. I've met tons of new people since I've moved down here and drank way more than I ever should have, and I've loved every minute

Today was largely a boring day. I got my hair cut (again), this time by my normal person -- Jenny at Serenity Salon. I never shoulda left her! I mean, Lindsay does a good job and all but Jen just does a superb job. Go her! :) Anybody who reads this and lives in Madison should go to her for their hair. The place is called Serenity Salon, e-mail me if you want directions or whatever. Anyways

not much new. Jenny and I went to Johnson Creek today because she had to get her hair cut. Stopped by the outlet strip-mall. Not a whole lot there. Found a jacket I kinda wanted and it was only $20 but decided against it in an effort to save money. I found I can fit in an X-Small! Isn't that crazy!? Anyhow, came back here and slept for a while since she hadn't slept since the other day, so

I learned a new kata tonight. It's called Gojushio -- it means something like "54 ways of the crane". It's a really fun kata. So, my new total is like 15 empty-hand katas over 7 years. Damn. I was happy though that I picked it up pretty fast. Now I just hope I remember it all correctly. Gonna go practice it a bit right now.

We left early yesterday morning for Chicago and made it there by 11ish. That's a problem, because I was supposed to be downtown by 11ish. However, it gets better. I only said we made it there. To Chicago itself. Not to where I was going to park. We made it THERE by maybe 11:30-45ish. Traffic was HELL. There was a Cubs game going on (remember -- we're in Wrigleyville, close to the stadium)

I'm not quite sure. Tori is awesome and said that I should call her as soon as I know what my sched is and IF I can make it back up here every other weekend or something. I'd like that. She doesn't want me to go, and as she pointed out, another advantage of keeping me on is that I can keep my discount card for an extra while.

I'm beat. Long day. Jenny woke up early and left at 5 this morning. I slept in for a bit longer. However, my day was spent running around picking up last-minute items, doing laundry, and packing. Went out to Tutto Pasta with Mary, Zoey, and Katy. Terrific food. Then stopped by Bunny's -- she gave me some awesome pieces of hers. Definitely will find a place on my wall for them. She also

So last night a bunch of us -- Me, Jenny, Chris, Jon, and Josh -- piled into my car and went down to Lonnie's house with a bunch of beer and stuff. We had a couple people over (well, Lonnnie did) and it was a small gathering. I got pretty bombed and I don't really remember the ride home (we got home at about midnight). Went to bed at 4 a.m. and Jenny had to be up at 5. I guess I woke up at 5

well, it's one day closer to the day I have to move. I have mixed feelings on it. I want to move and live in a big city but I also want to stay close to some of my friends. Anyways, today Jenny and I went to the zoo. It was a lot of fun. We came back in the afternoon and waited for my grandparents to come up to take my desk and other stuff. We all loaded a lot of my stuff into my

So, I found a page talking about Sensei Nakazato http://www.northeastkarate.com/shorin-ryu.htm He was my Sensei's O-Sensei. An O-Sensei is like a grandfather in regards to Senseis. A better way to explain it might be like this: Shugoro Nakazato (10th Degree Black belt) taught Tadashi Yamashita (9th Degree Black belt) who taught Pat Carrington (5th Degree Black belt) who taught Me (1st

After 7 years of studying Okinawan Shorin-Ryu karate I'm finally a black belt. Sensei was really hard on me -- not that I think he'd of failed me (he usually doesn't test somebody unless he's seen that they're good enough) -- but that after every kata I did, he'd nitpick about it. I can definitely see where he's coming from on it though, and as he explained, if I decide to teach, he wants to

I've only got a little while longer! I'm both excited and sad to leave. There're a lot of people I don't want to be that far from. I've got to go to a dentist appt in a little while. Then to test for Black Belt tonight.

rashly... is that a word? sure it is -- I say so. anyways, I was a bit pissed when I posted that last bit. I was intentionally being overly harsh too. So, sorry about that, Bunny. I retract what I said -- not going to delete what I wrote, because I think that'd be cheating in the blogging-sense. I am rather curious to see what it was that she had posted and deleted though.

so yeah. um, just had a chance to peruse bunny's blog. here's where I'll say that it pisses me off when people talk about stuff they know nothing about. this is in reference to whatever "drama" she's referring to. I'm not sure who's she's referring to but I believe it's heather. anyways, she says that she was involved in some drama and some such nonsense. whatever. here's what bunny wrote:

so last night we had our party. it was big. at least bigger than any other party we've had here. I think the most people at one time here was something like 25 people in our tiny apartment. we had a crapload of beer and stuff. still a lot left. mostly budweiser left. i don't mind -- it's what I like the most. Still a lot of Coors and MGD left too though. Hopefully having a party next

Tonight I went over and hung out with Aaron and Tasha in Mineral Point. I dated Tasha for almost 2 years about 3-4 years ago. I knew Aaron before I dated Tasha but he went out East to college and I didn't see him much for a while. He's a great guy. Anyways, we went on a big quest to find a movie to watch. We looked at the Kwik Trip in Mineral Point for about 20 minutes, then went to

The funeral was Saturday morning at 10. It went until about 1. I made it through the whole thing, only tearing up at a few points when some of his closer friends were up in front talking about him and crying, and then again when they were going to lower him into the ground. He's gone. Farewell Krebsy. I'll miss you.

krebs' visitation was on Friday night. I thought I was going to be okay going by and seeing Krebs, and I was until I got in the door of the funeral home. There was a big line that went outside the funeral home, and it led inside past a bunch of collages of pictures of krebs from birth until his teens. I saw Gary, our Youth Group leader who had been on all of our trips that we had taken (which

worked this afternoon at the Pottery Barn in the stockroom. It was scary at first, because I was alone for the first time and it was busy. I was going crazy and feeling really helpless. But, that changed soonafter and everything was okay. After the first half-hour or so everything was cool and I felt really confident about it all. Tonight we went and saw Hellboy. It was a fun movie.

I'm trying to keep my mind off of things, and so am looking forward. I'm thinking that I want to get my Masters in Fashion Design after I'm done with stuff. I'm looking at University of the Arts, London. I hear that London's a pretty kickin' town and I'd love to liive for a couple of years in Europe. I'd like to travel sometime soon. Revisit Tokyo, and then head for London before going back

so we got home tonight. it's good to be back. kinda. i find that somebody had thrown out my box of Raisin Bran (and possibly eaten some -- though I could have emptied the box most of the way on my own I suppose). I brought back some essential foods from my parents house. the thing that pisses me off the most about living with other people is sharing food. or, maybe not the sharing itself,

i'm sitting here and krebs keeps drifting back into my head. he's dead and all, and the only real memories that stand out in my mind of him are stupid ones. like the time we were up on a church trip to the dells, and we were having fun fainting each other. how we fainted him and he got back up having a mini-seizure and drooling for a few seconds. and how we did it in a crowded elevator next.

We heard the fire alarm go off and watched the firetrucks and ambulances rush off, thinking nothing of it. Then I get a call from Jenny, asking to be let in.

Yay me! I finally sold it, for $600. Not as much as I had hoped for, but better than having the car laying around. Also had my sho-dan testing date -- the 28th of June. I'll finally be a black belt if I pass :) And now, the wind-down. Went hot-tubbing for a while, sat down, watched family guy, and who knows what else. Yes, a lame blog entry. So what?

I'm all through with work. Sitting here in relative quiet, I realize that the ringing in my right ear is still there. Thankfully it's faded though. I thought a bit about the concert, and I realize that it was the energy that they had that really made it an over-the-top show. Damned. I wish they were back in town sooner. I'd definitely go see them again. Ellen's b-day is coming up this week

I still have a ringing sound in my left ear. Sometimes it's not bad and sometimes it is. I hope it goes away eventually.

Go me! And because of my ACT scores, I'm in the highest math class. They're sending me a packet which I think will contain my ID card (had my photo taken today), Chicago Transit Authority pass,

so i have money again, and once again i feel fine. i hate not having my safety net of cash around me. Tomorrow we're going to Chicago! Leaving early so I can be there on time for my preregistration and still have time to wander my future home. Now I'm off to do laundry, pick out my outfit for tomorrow, and possibly go out and buy some food. Yay me! :)

today's going to be a bore. I called in hoping to get hours at the Pottery Barn, but since it was a call-in shift, it wasn't for sure. They told me that to "Enjoy the nice day." Nice day my ass. It's rainy and shitty out. I'd much rather be making some money. I can't wait for tomorrow. Today's gonna be pooey.

about getting all my school stuff done on time. Only once I know everything's finished will I quit being worried. Ugh. Tomorrow I need to get my grandparents to call the financial aid place and say they'll co-sign. I also need to get everything mailed out. Oh, and must talk to the renter people to get a copy of the lease. So much to do in so little time. I'm just super stressed right now.

...have experienced the pleasure of being meticulously groomed, I think. It feels sooooo incredibly good to take a long hot shower, put on a robe or a towel, shave while the room's still warm (and more importantly, while your facial hair is still pliable from being soaked in hot water -- ie, shower). Then sculpt eyebrows and shave neck hair. It just feels good to be so clean and groomed. ah

So, lots happened today. Woke up at 10. Shit...I'm supposed to be at work at 10. Thankfully I had showered last night, so I threw on clothes and got to Target a little bit late (I live about 5 minutes away). I have gotten into the habit of sleeping with contacts in and my eyes were paying for it today. So bad that I had to ask to leave to go to the eye doctor. So, went there, found out I'm

Worked from 8-4. Then, went to karate tonight. We practiced in the park, which was cool. Different feeling underfoot than normal. Afterwards, stopped by Aaron's house and said hi. Was great to see him again after so long. He'll be staying around, so that's cool. He thinks he'll be around for a year or so. Probably living up in Madison. When I got back, Corie came over.

was a couple days ago. at the pottery barn. last friday. probably for the best that I didn't find out about it until today. I got a whopping $44.00 or so for my 6 hours of work. Yeah! Reeeeaallly tired. Gonna probably grab some food and then sleep.

I'm trying to figure out a new layout for my website. I'm bored with it and I want something more fun. i'll be posting bunny's comics on a part of it. but what to do for layout? back to thinking...

I'm still around. just been busy lately. last night had a blast partying with some old friends who I wasn't sure were friends any more. i'm happy to report that they are. (I thought they had sided with that other friend, whom I stole a girlfriend from -- see previous blog post).. I had like 9 beers in about 2-3 hours and was really gone. stayed at craig's house. you know you're drunk when

they should learn to let things go after so long. so, last year I stole a "friend"'s girlfriend. Friend is in quotations because I never really considered the guy a friend. Acquaintance yes. We hung out every now and then, but never just him and I or anything. Anyways, so yeah, I stole his girlfriend from him. It wasn't all on my shoulders though -- it takes two for that kind of thing to

Stripped it all down to nothing but zeroes on the hard drive. Reinstalled Mac OS X. Putting my music back on (being pickier about it this time around). I'm gonna keep it clean this time. It's spring cleaning for my comp. Something that I forgot to back up were my bookmarks. Ouch. I had lots of fun/important stuff bookmarked. I'm working on building it up again. I want to start

Well, I think I've added a new drink to my favorite drinks. It's become quite common for me to explore new drinks and tonight I made a Perfect Martini with a couple of olives in it. Not bad at all. I'm not sure how much I'd like drinking it alone but it tasted pretty darn good with my turkey sammich :) Hrm. Favorite drinks in order of preference: 1. Cosmopolitan. Yeah, I know. Shaddup. I

I've been picking up hours like mad. I'm not sure what I'm up to this week, but I work a LOT. I saw Arlo and Abby -- friends I hadn't seen in a LONG time. They stopped in to Target while I was working tonight. And, hm. Trying to think of what I did yesterday. Worked early (8-1) then hung out with Bunny. Last night she started teaching me to swing dance. It was a lot of fun and I really

What a wonderful town! It's no New York City, but it's still a pretty kickin' place. We got there at 11 to look at Ellen's apartment. She decided she was going to get it. I can't blame her. It's a beautiful place. Maybe not BEAUTIFUL, but really cool, cute, and has character. Fabulous view too, from the roof. After this we went downtown via subway/train and saw my school, the

Yay! I can't wait! Heading down to Chicago early tomorrow. Unfortunately, this means I'll be waking up at 6, out of here by 6:45ish because I have to drop financial aid papers off with my mum to finish filling out. We'll be leaving at about 7:30 to go down. I just got done watching Penn & Teller's Bullshit with Schober. Awesome show, but the season is over for now :( The one I saw tonight

So I'm watching James Bond right now. Tomorrow Never Dies, to be exact (though I have a couple more in the disc changer). I haven't really watched Bond since the last movie came out. I hated that last movie for a couple of reasons. First off, they messed with the bond theme. The one that plays when the white dots go across the screen. (at least I think they do -- that's something I

I was running low because they get used for all sorts of crazy things like rags and makeshift bandages (like when that broken beer bottle kicked my hand's ass).

It's a blast working there. As much fun as work can get. I dunno what it is about it. It's all laid-back and easy-going. I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but last night I bought Casablanca. Great movie. I'm on my 2nd viewing of it right now. Not sure what I'll do for the rest of the day. At some point I'll take a pair of my pants back to Kohls to get store credit. Maybe then I'll buy a

Worked at my grandparent's farm and got a nice burn going. Ouchie. Pulled some fenceposts and took apart barbwire fences. Not bad work, but a little tedious. Tomorrow I start actually working at the Pottery Barn for real. Bought Casablanca. Right now I'm reliving my good times at New York listening to the Mama Mia! soundtrack. I'd like more than anything to go see that musical again. Sure

hits again I really would like to figure out why I'm getting so bummed whenever I sit around here at the apartment. It's not the people -- I like my roommates. It's the fact that there isn't anything to do, I think. Or maybe it's that I'm kinda bummed and when I sit around I have time to think about it. Not going to go into why I'm bummed. I just have to keep my mind elsewhere -- fixed on

I went out with Chris and Schober to Barnes and Noble. We looked around for a while, and I eventually found a couple of items for purchase. One, a book entitled "Diners; American Retro," a little art book showing various diners throughout the ages. Cool old American diners. I love that kind of stuff. There's a little retro diner in Oregon which is an Elvis-themed place. The other book was

I should go to the party, but I don't feel like it. I've drank the last 2 or 3 nights. I just hate sitting at home in this tiny town. I can't stand it any more. I play video games, but they're no fun. I watch TV but it gets boring. I read the paper, or magazines, which at least offer more escape than watching TV. I should just go work on my school stuff and get that all taken care of. I

It's just not the same as a real cosmo. I know, I know. I should have expected that out of a premixed-cocktail additive. Oh well. It was only like 6 or 7 bucks I think. I'll give it another whirl later. See if maybe I just fucked up the first time. Or better yet, I could by cointreau and just make my own. Didn't see cointreau at the store though. *shrug* Pedicure's been cancelled for

Well, I completed my last final yesterday night. Came home, at some food that Heather had made for all of us, then went out and bought around $50 of booze. Go me! Skyy Vodka, lots of mixers. Got pretty goobered last night. Too much Bacardi 151 with coke. Today I'm going to see about going to get a pedicure. Never had one before, but it sounds fun. We'll see. I work at 3... Anyways,

So, I had my first official day of sorts. 1 hour long. Was semi-oriented about it all. I come in again next Tuesday morning at 8 a.m.. Hope it all goes well. Had my hair cut this morning. I gave her free reign and it's a little shorter than I was anticipating but it'll grow back. Growing hair back is the most fun part (well, maybe not). It's fun because the length is changing and you can

I hardly dare say it. But today's been the best day I've had in a LONG time. To recap: 1. Job Interview -- lead to job offer at $8/hour 2. Shopping this morning. Ate at a nice little cafe and chatted. 3. Found out about signature loans, so I now KNOW that I can afford school. yay! 4. $184 back for books. Awesome! 5. Final exam for Psychology wasn't hard at all. Probably got a B still.

I sold most of my books back (still have 2 left) for a total of $184.00! I was expecting MAYBE $60, so 3 times as much is even better. Now the trick is going to be to save part of the $184.

Went shopping down on State Street today after having my 2nd interview at the Pottery Barn. While eating at a little cafe, I got a call back from Clint (1st interview guy), saying that they were extending me a position there. Yay! So, I'm going in tomorrow at 2 to do the paperwork stuff. Can't wait. $8.00/hour too!

I was at the pizza hut in dodgeville, and it just stood out that people from that area all look the same. Here in Madison there's variation.

Wow! I must say I'm impressed! Not only is this site redesign completely unexpected, it's also very well done and implemented. No real changes to how we do things, but largely expanded options. Great job in general. Kudos to the blogspot/blogger team! I'm especially digging the new templates, the new and improved profiles, and the new commenting ability! Suh-weet!
