I'm officially unemployed again. My life can be like odd todd's now. But I didn't eat fudge stripe cookies today, but I should go buy some they sound yummy. I went in yesterday to rescue my turtle and ask about my check.

So the check should be in the mail today or tomorrow. That'll be nice, so I can pay for all the stupid gas I had to buy to get my butt to work the last three weeks. The money will hopefully pay for the $50 I spent on the Coldplay concert and the $30 I spent on Invader Zim stuff, $20 of the $30 paid for my new oh so soft Gir blanket.

Yes, I know it is the middle of summer and here you don't need a blanket or actually anything that is meant to keep you warm. Heck here, I almost wish I was a nudist, but then I would get charged with indecent exposure and I can't have that. Plus, I don't want to blind anyone. No one should have to see me in my birthday suit. No One!

So back to all the money I spent. Last week before the concert, I bought some graphic design books. This put me out about $90. Okay so that is like $170 so far that I spent because I wasn't worried about money since I had a job. Now I have no job. I'm pretty sure things will be okay. I'm going to have to stop spending money again. :( But, spending money is so much fun.

Enough of that, my aunt is flying in on Friday. Then we are going to see her brother in Nevada. I think. Anyway, I realized after doing pretty much nothing this weekend. I have a lot of work to get done. The end of the quarter is quickly approaching and that scares me. That means I'm that much closer to graduating. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I'm done. I should really get back to getting ready for class and maybe do some homework. Laters.

You know that feeling I had about not being very good at work and that they might fire me. Well, I was pretty close to right. Today they took me in and told me that they wanted me to just be an intern. So I would go to having an hourly salary to getting only compensated for gas and probably won't get enough to really cover gas.

Anyway, I just can't afford to do this and now I feel like crap. I can't even hold down a job for 4 weeks. I found out that the school district might be willing to hire me. So we'll have to see how that goes. I can't believe how, yesterday I felt great and I thought things were looking up and today everything's in the crapper.

Now I need to contact them and tell them my decision. Then I'm going to have to go back for my turtle. The poor little thing. Maybe I should just leave him there. No I better go get him. Next week, I guess.

Well I have lots of work to do, but before I go here is a recap of the Coldplay concert.

So me and my roommate are broke, but decided last minute yesterday to hop in the car and head to cricket pavillion in hopes of purchasing the great lawn tickets. Once we got there (at about 7:30) we saw a guy trying to sell his tickets. They were good seats in the middle section under the roof. Dead center. He wanted $50 a piece. So we forked out the extra $10 each for actual seats. This was really good deal since the seats had original cost $70.

I would not of dropped $70 for a concert even if it was Keith Urban. Okay I probably would for Keith Urban. Alright back to the concert. I really enjoyed it. There was cool things on a screen behind them and they music was great as was expected. For a long time, no one was sitting near us. We had tons of room. At some point during the concert the people came for their seats, but soon left. The only problem I had was that some tall guy was two rows in front of me and I could bearly see.

But it's all good. It took forever to get out of the parking lot, but we managed just fine and arrived home around 12:15. Then I had to go to bed to go to work. And if you go back to the top of this entry you'll remember what happened at work today. Apparently, I was too slow for them. They wanted a web designer and a fast one.

Okay I'm off. I'll be watching Harry Potter tonight and hopefully having a drink.

So, today a new guy started at work, which already makes today a better day than yesterday. Yesterday, I felt like everything I did was wrong. It seemed like I couldn't do anything right. I just hate when I feel this way.

Anyway, to top off the bad feeling I got at work. I went to school and found out that I didn't actually do the homework. This threw me in a tailspin (okay that's a little too dramatic). I was shocked that me, the one who always has the homework done, didn't do it. Well, actually I did start on the homework. I just didn't have it printed out to show during the critique.

This is actually fine with me anyway. I'm quite sick of critiques especially when I get nothing out of them. People just sit around and says good, fine, or that's bad, but they have no actually advice. But I can't complain to much cause I don't always have any advice and when I do I don't usually say anything.

Alright moving on. I got to see one of my academic directors dunked in a dunking tank yesterday. Then me and some friends from school piled into a car and headed to Happy Hour at Applebee's (we had to get happy for our evening class). Then we went back to school, where I managed to get nothing done except get people to sign my free shirt the school handed out.

So back to today. A new guy started and already things are lookin' better today. I actually accomplished things at work today. I started the newsletter in Dreamweaver using CSS (style sheets). CSS is amazing. I love it. I combines design and nerd coding type stuff. There is no way I will ever make a webpage without CSS again.

Also, I got the best news ever at work. I never have to answer the phone again. Thank god! We have implemented this new message system, so when the guys are busy, I can just let it ring and the message will tell the caller what to do to leave a message. Although, I found this out a little late as I answered the phone and I ended up scaring the guy that called, but it is no big deal. It was actually kind of funny. I had no idea what I was talking about.

So now I'm sitting here getting ready for class tonight, which means I should probably get the work I did together so I have something to show in class tonight. Well, it's been fun. I'll talk to ya'll laters.

Onyx, we'll have to play tennis or something some time. It's just too hot right now. Mini golf probably isn't a great form of exercise, but it would get us out of the house. Plus, I could find a cute boy out playing mini golf.

Maybe when you go to the bathroom and you can't get you pants down over your calfs then your pants are too tight. I'm not sure, but this seems to be the case with me and I must say I don't think they are too tight, but they must be.

Well anyway, I'm getting fatter. Maybe it is the drinking or all the junk food or both or even the fact that I eat out almost all the time, I don't know. I know it is true, cause I wore my dressy black pants Friday and today to work and they seem tighter than they use to be.

Also, my arm has been hurting on and off. It feels like it is dead and it just wants to hang there and do nothing. At times my arm and hand feel swollen, but they aren't because I can get my rings on and off with no problems. By the way, this is my right arm, you know the one that I need to use.

To top things off, I've been tired a lot, and I don't want to do anything, but some how I managed to revise some of my old work. All I need to do is get it printed out again and place it in my portfolio. Portfolio's are exhausting. The work is never done. One must always keep it up to date and that is just a lot of work.

Okay, so where was I. Oh, yeah I haven't been feeling well. I think it is cause I'm fat. I think if I lost weight I might feel like a new person. Somedays, I wish I could just go buy a new body and start from scratch and I promise I'll be better to that body. Unfortunately things are that easy.

Alright moving on, has anyone heard Gary Allen's new version of "Best I've Ever Had". Well, when I heard it I knew someone else sang it before and I thought that band was Vertical Horizon. So I looked them up and sure enough Veritcal Horizon sang this song. I'm couldn' believe I actually knew. I usually don't remember meaningless music trivia unless I'm a die hard fan of the singer or band like I am with Keith Urban. So Gary does a good job with the song, but I think the old version is probably better.

So I'm sure everyone has heard the Pussycat Dolls song "Don't Cha". In this song, they talk about being "raw". I had no idea what this meant. Orlando couldn't believe I didn't know, but he eventually told me what it meant. Kind of sick. Those girls are gonna end up with lots of std's.

Well, I best be off. I have things to do. Mainly go get money, go eat and off to school. Laters.

Okay so I was just watching "Wheel of Fortune" and one of the phrases was "it's an honor just to be nominated". Now I'm not an English major, but isn't "an" only suppose to be used when the word after it begins with a vowel. Anyway, I was only watching it because it was what was on when I sat down to eat my dinner.

I actually cooked something at home for my dinner. I realized today that it has been about two weeks since I actually cooked myself a real meal. All in all today's been a good day.

Alright, I need to back up a bit. Today I went to work and all went fine. I keep busy actually so busy I didn't leave until about 11:50 am. I have class at 12:30, so I raced home through traffic made it home to change my clothes and off to school. I had to grab a bite to eat at the school which I never do unless I have to. Then I worked all through class to get my project done. I think I did a good job too.

I came home had a snack and checked on how my funds are doing. It's going well. Then I made a run to costco for gas and walmart for some soap stuff and an onion for the spagetti. Anyway, while waiting in line an old guy told me his wife had died. It was very sad, but I didn't know what to say. I would image that would be a terrible experience. I know just have a grandparent die is hard, but to lose someone who you have spent the majority of you life with must be more difficult.

So this is why I don't feel like I have any problems. Right now, I have it easy. All I have to worry about is work, school, and who I'm going to watch a movie with or go eat with. I'm just going to live for the minute because I don't know what is going to happen next.

Okay, so I was just watching that show "8 simple rules". If you don't know what I'm talking about. David Spade is in rhe show which reminded me how much I like David Spade. I know I have weird taste in guys, but he is so funny. Anyway, he kind looks a bit like Keith Urban. Of course Keith is better looking, but David is funny. Well, I should get going, I'll talk to ya'll later.

Here's one of the pictures I took from a couple quarters ago or so. I liked it, but I really have no use for it. It is just cool. I'm going to have to take more pictures soon for my band project. It should be cool when it is done.

An illustration of the Beatles jumping. I did this for my midterm project in interactive tele.

Okay, so I'm suppose to list my five favorite songs. That's going to be hard. I have so many favorites. Okay so here is the list.

1. Well, there definitely has to be a song from Keith Urban. I just don't know which one. I'm thinking "Raining on Sunday", no maybe "Jeans on" or how about when he sang "Rambuncitous Boy" with John Fogerty. I think they should get together to record that song cause right now I only have the John Fogerty version. But seriously I can't pick just one Keith Urban song. They are all so great cause I love his voice. I just makes me melt.

2. Next I think I will have to go with Beck, "Loser", cause I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me. His new stuff is good too.

3. "Superman" by Lazlo Bane, it is the theme song for Scrubs. I'm no superman.

4. "Searching for You". I have no idea if that is the real title and I don't know who sings it. Some girl sings this and it goes like this "baby what can i do, i've been out searching for you.

5. "To Get Me to You" by Lila McCann. This one is from the Hope Floats soundtrack. Lila has kind of disappear off the face of the earth. I use to listen to her cd back in the early high school years. She was like the same age as me too.

So I can't stop at 5.

6. "Dare You to Move" by Switchfoot or just about anything from their cd "the beautiful letdown".

7. "Fishin' in the Dark" any version you like, but the most recent would be Emerson Drive's recording of the song cause that is the one I have. And really I like most of Emerson Drive's songs. They maybe sappy country songs, but they give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

8. U2 - I can't name a song I don't like here. "sunday bloody sunday..." okay I'm listening to this right now.

9. the Beatles - I can say that the "yellow submarine" really annoys me, but is very catchy.

10. Oh I almost forgot, "I think I Love You" from the Partridge Family. It was in a levi's commercial and I just had to find the song. So the commerical goes like this, a guy gets on the elevator and there is a girl and they supposedly feel in love. It must of been the jeans.

and some more songs

"She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" by Kenny Chesney. Someone tried to strip to this song for my b-day once. He knows who he is. Thinking back on it, it was pretty funny.
"I Want to Know You" by Sonicflood. Only thing I don't like about this song is that they talk after the song is over.
"You Shouldn't Kiss Me" & "How Do You Like Me Now" by Toby Keith
"Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" by Spin Docotors
"Change" by Warren Brothers
"Zero" by Smashing Pumpkins
"Comedown" by Bush
"Son of a Preacher Man" by unknown but everyone knows this song. I think.
"Never There" by Cake
"Grow old With You" by Adam Sandler from the Wedding Singer
"Catch My Dieseae" by Ben Lee got it on a sampler cd

Okay, I know there is more. This is just what I came up with now. I should probably get going. I have things to do. Laters.

Okay so I've finally got sick of this blog. I mean I like it, it is just that the template for my blog isn't working for me anymore. I love getting comments but in order to read my comments I have to switch to my other brower. I hate this other browser, becuase it makes my blog look bad, but my comments only work in that browser.

Some how when I implimented this particular look for my page, I messed up the coding for the comments. I think I'm going to have to start from scratch again. But I think it will be easier cause I know more about web pages and coding now. I might be able to get the page to look exactly how I want it too. Now I just have to find some time to make these changes.

Finding this time is not going to be easy. First of all there is school and then work. Next tutoring. After all that I have to some how find time to complain to Verizon about my phone and hope something gets resolved. I'm really tired of not being able to talk to people much. People think I'm just breathing into the phone heavy and I'm not.

I might breathing heavy into the phone if I wanted to get a music contract, because these days that's about all you need to be able to do. Hasn't anyone else noticed that half of most songs out are full of huffing and puffing sounds.

Anyway to get back to what I was talking about my vision for my blog may have to wait awhile, but it is really starting to take a toll on me. With the Viggo post, my browser I use for comment checking made the comment link appear on top of Viggo so I could not click on the comment. I have found away around it for the time being, but things like this need to stop. Or I will rip out all my hair and probably get fired.

Well, I must get some food and possible a nap before I start in on more homework. Laters

Someone in my class found this image online. I thought it was hilarious, so I had to post it. I hope you don't get to dizzy. Ha ha.

Funny, how the sci. fi character I am is like the best reason for watching Lord of the Rings.

blueberi posted at 1:02 AM

Guess what I bought today? Okay you're to slow. I bought Ghostbusters 1 and 2 and it only cost me $12 plus it came with a little booklet in a sweet shine packaging. I'm a sucker for cool packaging plus the price was great.

Anyway, I just wanted to check in here. I just found out that Kendra and Jen went parasailing (not sure if that is spelled righ) today in Reno. They are on their way to visit me. They should be rolling into town on Wed. Until then I have to continue the working and going to class. Tomorrow is going to be a long day, but I should get through it. Work and two classes. I'm tired just thinking about it, but I know in the long run this is for the best.

I have most of my homework done. I should get my just box printed out for class tomorrow, so I might do that when I'm done before bed. But my bed is calling my name. I'm so sleepy.

I finally finished the Lord of the Ring movies. They were good, but all I can think of is Viggo and I've been running around saying "my precious" in a creepy voice which is my atempt to mock the movie. It is probably a bad impression. But since I watched the Ring movies. I made Justin watch Donnie Darko. I think he liked. Plus, I left the movie "Say Anything" with him and said he had to watch it. So next time I see him he better of watched. If he didn't like it, I'm not sure I can still be his friend. Just kidding, but seriously how could someone not like that movie.

Well, I better get going. I need to get some sleep and print that dumb juice box. Arg.

blueberi posted at 11:07 PM

Okay I know it has been awhile since my last post, but I have ignored my blog long than this before. Anyway, I've been pretty busy lately.

On sunday, I watched the first lord of the rings movies. On monday, I tried to catch up on the homework I wasn't doing and then I went to class. Tuesday, I went to class and found out I got the job I interviewed for so know I am a part time graphic designer (I think). I get $9 an hour. Not bad. My highest wage ever although I'm only going to be working 15 hrs a week. That is 3 hrs 5 days a week.

Anyway, tuesday was eventful my first class consisted of two field trips, one to Smithcraft (they make signage) and the other to Science Center (it was fun). Then after my evening class I walked out into the parking lot okay ran because it was raining cats and dogs. I gave Robert a ride home in the horrible storm which they say now is the monsoon season which means bad storms. The roads were really bad. We thought we had avoided the bad areas, but we still managed to find a wash (a dip in the road which it is inveitable it will flood in severe weather). Anyway, in the wash the water was about up to the middle of my car.

Well being the wimp that I am, I was too scared to drive back by myself, so I stayed the night on the lovely futon. I had a dog sleep with me for a while, but he soon tired of me and left for the floor. In the morning, we went to Jumba Juice and I had my first ever jumba juice smoothie thing. It was good. I drove Amy to work on my way back home.

Once home, I worked on more homework that I didin't do over the weekend. I went to work to fill out the paper work, so I could go to work on Thursday morning. Then I went to class and did some work but not a lot of work in class. Basically, Tuesday ran in to Wednesday and I feel as though there was a day missing somewhere.

So thursday was my first day of work. It was pretty easy. Just learning how things work and what to do. After my 3 hrs, I came home got some homework done (yeah I actually worked on some) and then went to watch the Two Towers. Man all I can say about those movies is damn - Vigo is hot (i don't know how to spell his name but it doesn't matter he is the human one that likes the elf girl, Liv Tyler).

Today or actually Friday was first friday and we all went out to see some art and have some fun. It was pretty low key this time. There wasn't as many people and live bands were bascially nonexistent. So we went to applebees for the happy hour. I was dumb and ordered a Margarita which I was disappointed with because they never seem to have good margaritas there. I should of got a bahama mama. They are always good there.

Anyway, I should probably go get some sleep so I can get up and wash clothes and do some homework. I've got to get things done on the weekends now. This job is going to take away that extra slack time I had. Well, I'm out for the night. I hope to have sweet dreams maybe vigo or some other hottie will appear. Laters
