This is who I am

Weezer

2008-10-07T02:51:56Z

It was my first time going away from home for a weekend, and it was fantastic. I left Thursday around 1:30 for Chicago to hang out with Natalie before the Weezer show with Jim. I had a lot of fun walking around and talking with her. Around 5ish we met up with Jim and we talked til around 6 and then Jim and I left for the All State Arena.

We got there around 6:30ish and I wish we got there late so we didn't have to watch Tokyo Police Club. I was not enjoying them the slightest bit. I don't even want to describe it to you. Angels & Airwaves came up next. I've been skeptical on seeing them since I've watched live stuff of them and how absolutely horrible Tom can sound live, but I was pleasantly surprised with how he sounded. It was actually really sweet.

Then of course, came Weezer.

They were phenomenal. I couldn't have asked more from them. They have a great stage presence and Rivers is just great to watch. Plus they played "Dope Nose", which made my night. They played for a solid two hours, and it was around 11 when the show finally ended.

Jim and I then embarked on our long ass journey to U of I. I had to buy a GPS for my whole journey. I was really debating the night before and I'm very glad I did. I would have been completely lost. No fucking questions. It took us a solid three hours to finally get there.

U of I was really sweet. It's such a nice campus, and the being the whole college environment was pretty nice. The "dorm life" if you will. I miss out on all this going to PNC, so I was just more in 'awe' the whole time while I was there.

This is the most I've driven for a trip of any kind on my own, and it was great. I'm really looking forward doing it again.

it's starting to get cool around here. it's feeling very nice.

i'm also seeing Weezer tomorrow night, i'm very excited for it, and i get to hang out with Jim and Illinois. it should be a good time.

i have been incredibly happy these past few weeks. i like it a lot.

Almost done with my daily updates.

Doing this has made me realize how much I don't do. Like today, I must have sat in my room for about 4-5 hours today. I need to do more.

Today I had to do my Coat of Arms for speech. I really half-assed it. I don't really care. These projects just...ugh. So I'll present that tomorrow. Exciting.

Tomorrow I have to write my satire english paper. I'm not looking forward to doing that either. I haven't thought about what it should be about either. Hopefully, watching The Office season 4 tomorrow will help me figure something out.

see ya.

son of a bitch

2008-09-01T03:34:49Z

I failed. I missed a day. Damn it.

My parents got a new car yesterday. That's probably all I would have written about anyway. They got a Honda Civic i think? idk really. It's metallic blue, and it looks pretty cool.

I've got this speech thing I have to do tomorrow now. I have to make this coat of arms. It shouldn't be hard but I just hate doing stupid projects like this. Rawr.

thats it. how boring i am.

2008-08-30T03:14:43Z

Today was my first Friday of college, and I don't have class on Friday. I woke up and took my brother to school at 8:30 then came home and did absolutely nothing. It was fantastic. I'm sure once the year gets rolling, this will be my study day and doing hw and shit. But for now, I'm going to enjoy the free day.

I watched Superbad tonight for the first time in a while. I forgot how funny it is. I like that movie. I played a lot of guitar today too. I like those days.

Yeah it was a nice Friday.

Day two of consistently updating.

I had class from 9-11:30ish today, not bad. After that I had to drive out to the Westville campus and pick up some books which they don't have which is gay. My english professor said they'd be down there and they surely were not there. I got poster board while I was there so it wasn't a total waste and some blank cds.

My psychology class is pretty much just going to be lectures all the time I'm thinking. It could get interesting. I hope it gets more interesting, cause if not I'm going to space out a lot.

After all that I went to Kline's house. It's the last time I'm gonna see him til he comes back for Christmas break or whenever he comes back. I ended up taking a nap at his house though. I was tired, from all the driving and shit this morning.

day two is done!
not an exciting one

2008-08-28T04:08:52Z

So in english today my professor asked if anyone kept a diary or journal, and I guess out of 30 or so people, I'm the only one who does. So he asked everyone to keep one for a week, which means I'll be updating daily for the next week instead of every other year or so. Cool.

My psychology and speech class are in the mornings. They're alright so far. Speech could be good, I'm hoping it is, I don't want it to seem like a big deal. The class isn't big so I think I'll be alright. My psychology class will be kind of weird though. My teacher seems like a hippie kind of woman. All about conspiracies and such, plus she has a lazy eye and its distracting.

It was nice being done before 12 though. My day felt so long and complete, and I got my homework done by 1:30ish. So yeah so far college > high school.

Tomorrow i have to go to the Westville campus after class in the Valpo campus to get my tuition check. I don't really want to drive out there.

Jon is coming home this weekend too. I was supposed to go visit them down there this weekend but I guess hes coming home, so I'm just staying in Valpo. Kind of sucks. I was looking forward to visiting Purdue, but oh well. Next week is going to be the first week where everyone is gone. I don't know how thats going to be. We'll see.

College

2008-08-26T02:45:12Z

It's here. College. I just got back from my first two classes at PNC. Well first I guess I'll tell you my schedule.

Mon/Wed- English: 5:30-6:45, Algebra: 7-8:15

Tues/Thurs- Speech: 9-10:15, Psychology-10:30-11:45

Soooooooo now you know how my days will work. Today I had algebra and english. I'm not going to lie, I was nervous about the whole college thing. It was weird going to school at 5 in the afternoon and not first thing when I wake up. It was a very nice feeling waking up and not having to just go right to school. The first thing that really shook me was I was waiting out in the hall cause no one was in the classroom yet and I saw other kids sitting outside the class so I just sat there too, and I saw this older lady walk in and I assumed she was the teacher. She wasn't, she was another student. I kinda laughed to myself cause of how I just assumed she was the teacher. But now I have to get used to adults being the students.

Anyway, my professor is pretty sweet. He doesn't really seem to "go by the book" if you will. He didn't really have anything planned, he was just winging it and it was kind of nice. Just going with it and doing what you feel is right. He gave us two assignments, one is to write out what we do daily wise in a time-chart type thing. And then we have to write about a moment in our childhood where we realized we weren't being treated as a child. Then he ended class about a half hour early, so I just went to a vending area and did the time-chart thing before algebra.

Then comes algebra, I walked in and I didn't see a teacher anywhere, then when I walked in a guy stood up from one of the desks and but his bookbag on the desk whose I assumed was the teacher's desk. I didn't think this guy was at all my teacher. He looks like a really young version of Vince Vaughn. He is incredibly laid back. I can't believe that this guy is a teacher. He's cool as hell though. I think it'll be good.

Then I left at 8ish or so and headed home. It wasn't at all bad as I thought it was going to be. I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy college way more then high school. Plus I'll be visiting friends on weekends and such so it'll be fun.

What elseeeeeeeeeeee.

Oh yeah, I found this video on YouTube and the girl in it was funny, so I clicked on the username and she conveniently had her MySpace in there, so I pursued into friend requesting her, and I'm usually not too keen on just talking to random people over the internet, but for some reason I did with her. Well anyway, I'm glad I did. Her name is Krystal, and she's really cool. She's into photography and is actually going to the University of North Texas to major in it. She's really pretty too. Yeah.

I'm going to see Weezer on October 2nd with Jim. I'm really looking forward to this cause it'll be the first night that I'm away from home on my own really. Probably sad but whatever. It's going to be cool though, I'm going to meet Jim wherever hes taking the bus/train too and then we're heading to the concert, and then I'm heading back to U of I with him and then I'm just going to relax there for the weekend. It'll be awesome.

This was a big log here. I guess this makes up for me not writing at all during summer, which by the way I hope you all had a fantastic one. Hopefully I write more often. It feels good getting this stuff out there. Time to write this english paper.

Pixar+Disney=Unbeatable

2008-06-30T06:11:45Z

I saw Wall-e today, and as I expected, I loved it. Disney/Pixar movies have yet to disappoint me.

Wallllllllllll-eeeeeeeeeeeee

2008-06-21T06:13:33Z

It's been hitting me a bit right before I go to sleep that we're going to college soon. I'm mixed between scared and excited. I'm looking forward to it and dreading it also. I don't want my friends to move away. I'm too used to us being in one town and now everyone will be going their ways. I really hope we all stay in touch, I'm going to do my best to do so.

Graduation happened. I wasn't really looking forward to it at all really. But when we walked in and everyone was clapping and cheering, it was pretty exciting. Hot as fucking hell in there. It was very unpleasant. But I'm done now, so who gives a shit.

I just got my MacBook about a week ago. I absolutely love this thing, its awesome. It's nice to have my OWN computer. No more waiting to get on the computer now. Convenient, yes.

What else...

I saw "The Incredible Hulk" on Wednesday and wasn't really expecting too much, but it blew me away. I was feeling a bit better about this one just because Ed Norton was in it. He's a great actor. It was much more action-orientated and more faster paced than the first one, which I found horrible. As for today I saw "Get Smart". I've been anticipating this one for awhile now. I love Steve Carell, so I was hoping it'd be great, and it was very good. Funny as hell, and the action was actually really good to as well. For both of these movies, I wanted to just go right back in and watch them again. That doesn't happen very often for me.

Today is my Open House and my parents are expecting well over 150 people to be here, which would be crazy. I hope it doesn't rain. That many people crammed in my house would be absolute hell.

kaleyownsyou @ 2007-12-19T09:26:00

2007-12-19T15:53:48Z

Christmas is near and I couldn't be more excited. That means its been almost a year since I started hanging out with Earl and Kline and Matt Scott. We've all gotten really close within that short amount of time and we've had a lot of fun, at least I think so. It's going to be sad when we all go our seperate ways for college. Out of all of them, Earl and I have probably gotten the closest. We're able to talk about stuff that I feel like I can't talk to the others about, not including Jim and George.

Senior year isn't as wonderful as I was imagining it to be, ever since freshman year I've always had this expectation that it would be great and always fun, but its not really anything like that. It's just another year and I'm wanting it to end like no other. I'm tired of high school and all of its shit. Whoever said that "high school is the best time of your life," is completely full of shit.

Work has been hectic as hell. I feel like all I have been doing is working lately, and it isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm making quite a bit of money, and it feels good knowing I have a fair amount of money in the bank. The people I work with are awesome though. We always have fun and especially when there's no one in the store.

Family has been doing alright. My dad has been working a lot too. I feel like I don't see him much anymore, but he's off till the 27th now. My mom is going to be working a lot now with the end of the year coming up. It sort of bothers me how my dad is always wanting to do stuff with my mom and she never seems to want to. He tries hard to have fun with just her and she ALWAYS has a reason not too. I'm trying to get her to get out more and do more than just work and come home.

Vocational is almost over so I'm going to stop here, I'll write more later.

kaleyownsyou @ 2007-10-01T21:31:00

2007-10-02T03:39:04Z

interesting events.

past couple of weeks have been an interesting bunch. TV shows are starting back up, school is kicking in, colleges. ya da ya da ya da.

I guess I'll start with work. I work at Gamestop, judge me if you want. I like video games so suck it. I got to work the Halo 3 opening, and that was fun. Meeting all the regulars that come in, and most of them are cool and funny. I love this job much more than my plumbing job. Simply because I get to work with people who are closer to my age and I can relate to them much more easily. It's nice actually talking during work.

Schools been somewhat interesting I guess. Vocational is a lovely class. It turns out that I do like it, which I'm thankful for. We're going to be doing our first big video project soon which should be exciting doing the filming, editing. Pre-cal sucks, I'm just horrible at math. I think I'm going to drop that class at semester. I don't even need it and all its doing is destroying my GPA.

Shows that I plan on watching this year
1)The Office
2)Gossip Girl
3)OTH
4)24
5)Chuck

This is the most TV I will watch since I was probably four or five. Having shows to watch makes the week go by quicker it seems. Nice.

I may end up going to see Dashboard Confessional at the end of October. That would be amazing since hes going on his first solo tour in five years. Plus his new album comes out tomorrow and hes going back to his old acoustic sound. Plus I may go with Ali and that would be a very good thing, I think.

Golden Birthday

2007-04-18T03:19:37Z

Yep, today was my golden birthday. It just felt like a normal day with the occasional "Happy Birthday", from those who remembered, and thank you to those who wished me one. I love you guyssss.

Jim gave me two books. "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" and "The Alphabet of Manliness", and I cannot wait to start either. Both seem hilarious in a 'laugh out loud' kind of way. I'm stoked. I love reading.

So this girl, Sina, I don't know if any of you know her, but I find her ridiculously beautiful. I just want to go to her and tell her. We always have that one second of eye contact thing going, which just melts me in some way. I don't know whether or not if I should tell her anything, because I don't want to get attached in any way since shes going to be leaving in less than three months, so this sort of sucks. That, I do not like.

It's not about where we go.

2007-03-07T04:16:33Z

today i've come to realize what i enjoy most of girls, their smile. This girl in my Nutrition & Wellness class (basically cooking class) i sort of like, whom i never talked to before until today, laughed at something i said to her and i just sort of melted. It was a great feeling. I don't know, she was looking right at me and smiled and I just got all gooey inside.
I love it!

Sadly besides that, i don't have much else to write about.

what a weekend

2007-01-29T04:11:14Z

Well not really actually, it's just that I had to take SATs Saturday and it really wasn't cool at all. I sat in a room for 4 and a half hours taking tests. It's not really my choice of what I'd like to do on a Saturday, but you know how it is, and I have a good good feeling I'm going to suck on this so I'll have to go through it again...

Before all that though, it wasn't too bad. I went to school you know blah blah blah. The only exciting thing is I got to make blueberry muffins in my Nutrition and Wellness class. They were alright and actually I didn't help make them at all, I just washed the dishes, and I wasn't even supposed to but the girl in my group didn't want to, so i stepped up and did her work. After school David and I went to Jim's work at TJ Maloney's. It was pretty good and it was fun. Then I came home and watched Jackass numero 1, and there was Nintendo Wii bowling too. That was REALLY fun.

Turns out, one of my very close friends has/is doing pot. It bothers me somewhat but I guess people just do that. I never really thought any of us would get into that stuff. I promised myself I wouldn't get into it and I plan to keep it that way. I'm not saying he isn't a close friend of mine anymore or anything, I just don't want anything bad to happen to him because of this. He's smart, well to some extent, so he knows what the consequences could be.

Today was thrilling, I got to biff out in the road with all that snow. It was pretty sweet. I wouldn't want to do that in the middle of rt. 30 or anything. Again played a little Nintendo Wii. Baseball and boxing today. Watched the Screen Actors Guild awards, and The Office won! Nice. Also got some new shoes. Nice. I now like the band "Boys Like Girls". Nice.

Alright im done now.

Nice.

phew

2007-01-22T04:47:04Z

it's been over a month, here we go.

Bears have won. YES. Finally.

I never really see why I update this anymore, which is probably why theres a lack of updatage. Anywho, I'll focus on some "major" things, if I can even call them that.

I have a Nintendo Wii, and that thing is a dream and I love it. Grades came out and I did somewhat better than I thought I was going to. I started to slack in some but I pulled off some pretty swell grades which is good. I have to take the SATs this Saturday. A little worried, but you know how it is. I now shower with my iPod going and its very rejuvenating. A little less than 2 months and ill be through with my 3 month no driving with anyone else rule. I really hate that.

I found this website that has albums up early and for free, and older ones too, but I have "Infinity On High" by FOB already and it doesn't come out for a good 3 weeks. Surprising thing is I wasn't really looking forward to this, but I like it more than "From Under The Cork Tree." Crazy. The site also had some acoustic Cartel stuff, which I really like too.

Jeez, even after a month I still don't have much to write about. How lame am I?

kaleyownsyou @ 2006-12-13T06:10:00

2006-12-13T06:10:19Z

I've been sick for the past 2 days and right now I feel more alive, ironic yes. I've been in such a good mood today and actually cannot wait to go back to school. It will suck with all the lame make up work, but what ever. Being sick has benefited me I think.

I don't know why but someone I know is going back to someone who I do not think is good for them. I haven't been talking to them but through MySpace and AIM and all that crap and I know. I really just see bad things coming from this, but thats just me, as always. Funny caring so much for someone you haven't even met.

Right now I'm in obsession with The Fray and Jimmy Eat World. It's all I listen to. I blare it in the car and I love singing along to it. It makes me feel mucho better and more happy which is nice I think.

Only place I know I feel safe

2006-12-04T04:46:03Z

i finally got my license this weekend. It feels nice driving on my own, blaring music, and just being on my own out there. I got all freaked out about the drive test the night before and it lasted a good 8 minutes...I got all worked up for nothing. But yeah, I have it now and I'm very glad.

Besides that, nothing happened this weekend. Although I did try reading Huckleberry Finn since my Am. Lit teacher mentioned it in class and it sounded interesting, but I just can't concentrate when I'm reading it. I gave it many chances but I just cannot focus when I'm reading that. Now I'm unsure on what to read. I think I am going to get A Million Little Pieces or whatever since everyone seems to have read that. Anyone here read it? How is it?

oke dokey, thats it.
see ya

so gooooood!

2006-11-29T06:15:38Z

I'm in such a good mood right now. I think it's mainly because New Atlantic released a new song they wrote and I absolutely love it! I keep listening to it over and over again. It features Will Pughes too and he goes perfect with the song. "Wires and Stone." Go get it right now!

I get my license Saturday (hopefully) and I'm stoked on getting it. I hate thinking of burdening my friends of going out their way to get me. Plus I can go where I want when I please too.

Just thinking of my friends and what they do for me, it always makes me grateful that I have them. Even the quiet and meh times are enjoyable, just simply cause they're there and it makes everything better. I cherish them dearly.

-29-

2006-11-21T05:15:55Z

I'm totally winging this entry.

These past couple of weekends have been very typical and nothing exciting. I don't thinks it's because theres nothing to do, I just don't want to have to burden my friends with some of the places I'd like to go since I do not have a license, which I plan to change on December 2. Yahoo!

Thanksgiving is this week, and I'm very glad it is. Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorite since I get to see most of my family that I never see as much. Plus, I mean the food is just amazing.

Lately with school, it seems to be getting better and better, which is so weird. I don't mind too much actually going to school which is a first. Everything seems to be going well. EVERYTHING. Grades are good, happy with life, pleased with the way I look which I know may sound stupid but seriously the past 2 years it has bothered me so much. I hated it. But now I'm just glad how I look. All of my friends are great and I really love them. Without them, honestly, school would just absolutely blow. I have nothing to be disappointed about this year which is a lovely feeling. Of course theres love, but fuck, seriously who does not have problems with that? Everyone looks for it and wants it. It's a good feeling to have so I don't blame you.

alright, I think thats all I have.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone by the way! Be safe if you're traveling or anything.

byeee

same old feeling

2006-11-10T04:47:36Z

I like this girl i think. As always though, I'm sure its bound to lead to no good, just because of how its been in the past. I'm not very good with girls that I truly believe that I care for. Why? I'm not sure. If I knew the answer I wouldn't be writing this. But, I find it funny how they always want the guy who will do anything for them, be there for them through anything, do anything with them, and I'm quite honestly willing to do all that and more.

Things have been going so good lately though. I love it. This year is so much fucking better than last year for me, I can't even begin to explain.

Right now I'm doing some laundry and I need to study for Algebra II, thats the only class that I'm not doing as well in. I'm doing really good in my other classes, its just this class. My teacher pretty much sucks and that doesn't help me.

2006-11-06T05:15:48Z

I love music, it makes me happy.

Steve Miller

2006-10-29T21:38:34Z

yes, thats correct, I get to see them tonight at the Radison and it should be sweet.

idiot ball

2006-10-28T05:21:30Z

Tonight was definatley a good one. It started off kinda meh because we were going to go see Flag of Our Fathers but we got there too late and missed it, so instead we went out to eat at Red Robins which is pretty good, i recommend you go there.

Then we came back to my house and played a little Madden 07. This is when I thought the night was going to suck because I was being an ass and well kept calling my friends asses and I meant it in a joking way but then started to feel bad about it later. But that all went away once we started to play what we now call Idiot Ball. It's basically volleyball and hockey put together. You try and keep the ball bouncing and if it isn't you start over and try to get it to a certain area and score. It sounds pretty stupid but it's really quite amusing and fun.

I now also have my NEW COMPUTERRRR. This thing is so much better, I love it. It has 470 GBs or something compared to my other one with 37.8 GB...
Yeah this thing is sweet. It uploads CDs so fast, its driving me wild.

so yeah I'm quite happy now.

later

2006-10-24T03:45:47Z

The weekend was alright, I would have rather been home hanging out with friends and stuff, but I just sat around at my aunts lake house in Illinois. I just slept and played Pokemon Blue. I forgot to grab a book before I left. I was mad since I could have killed mucho time reading.

I have 2 tests tomorrow and it's very vital that I do well on both since, well I'd like to have good grades. I need to study after this. I feel pretty prepared for Earth/Space and Algebra II I don't see how one can study for it so...

I'm now reading a book called Cold Mountain. I think it was just made into a movie, I'm not sure. It's based around the Civil War so I'm finding it interesting since I just learned about that in US History. Hopefully it gets good, it won all these awards, so I'm expecting a bitchin' read.

Tonight I just baby sat my moms friends daughter and got $25 for doing it too. Sweet. I need to go pay off the rest of Gears of War now. And im quite happy this week because we don't have school on Friday. YES.

One more thing, I listened to My Chemical Romance's new song, and I haven't exactly been a fan of them, but I'd listen to them here and there, and their new song is pretty good and their new CD is getting good reviews so I'm thinking I'll look into it.

thats all.
