| Stupid Economy! Thanks to companies being afraid of sticking their neck out, I was one of many who just got laid off. Now instead of me casually looking for a new job, I have to really start searching. Damnit! oh well i'll find something :) haha chillicothe here i come. | | |
| Just a quick (possibly long) update: If any of you have noticed I haven't been going out so much anymore. its actually (oddly enough) because i'm calming down quite a bit. I think i owe it a lot to Amber because we don't have that normal going out all the time early - mid 20's relationship because of her little one. I definitely think that its a good thing because now i can save money. I definitely can see this girl lasting a LONG time. she's almost exactly like i am. we have the same taste in comedians, extremely similar music taste (although she doesn't know as many bands), same sense of humor... i mean we are very similar. I have to say it... I love this girl. she isn't needy, she doesn't get upset if i hang with my friends, she takes my jokes and gives a few back herself, she's pretty much chill. Hell she's gotten the OK from quite a bunch of the group. Isaac i think is better friends with her than he is with me (its kinda crazy). Seriously, I owe these past few months and the change that has occurred to her and i definitely thank her for it. I've been reading "ghetto nation" which is a damn good book about the ghetto movement from just poor people to popular culture. Its sad that we as a society are as ghetto as we are. What i find the funniest is that most people cant even see that ghetto has become a nationwide epidemic. the overall meaning is showing how living for the now (not living in the now which is positive) is a major factor and that its become the societal norm to live for the now. you see ghetto every day from the people who have $9,000 in credit card debt (2007 national average), or the people who live on govt check (i'm for the welfare system when used right) but have bigger TV's and better cars than most people i know, or even the people who buy million dollar houses but cant afford to put furniture in it. this definitely a sickness that we need to help rid ourselves of it. There are people trying to do that but it doesn't seem to work. Prominent black families are going back to live in the rougher neighborhoods where they grew up to show the children that they don't have to live ghetto, but they can live a full life without committing crimes (either legal or ones against themselves) I'd suggest picking up this book for a good read. On another note, Jay Milla has a show coming up and asked me to play bass. I haven't played in months and we practiced on sunday. i was rusty but for the most part i could keep up. It'll be an acoustic set on the 13th at ricks (music on stage is fun regardless of the place). Jujitsu/aikido has been slow going (i've been sick for about 3 weeks). i was gonna go back this week but since its a holiday week i decided against it. Next week will be me getting beat up so if you see black eyes or bruises on my body just know that its because i'm having a great time :) Till next time! | | |
| well i felt like updating (god i hope this isnt too long)
have you ever had the most mundane thing just make your life that much better? i did today. i watched charlie wilsons war (which was good) but i still felt slightly unhappy. then i noticed it was raining out. i went outside to stand in the rain. the little things that god blesses us with. i know this might sound contrary to what i normally say (about god and such) but its true. the rain, a change in pressure and temperature enough for water to condense and fall, is all i needed to cheer up my day. dont get me wrong, i've had a good time recently with my life. there was chads birthday, my monday nights at manhattans for open mic night, and seeing old friends in new lights that has kept me afloat. i've been happy :) i wont lie, there are plenty of times that i know i'm missing something but i'll get there soon enough :) i'm sure you all know that what i'm missing is someone that i can give my extra little bit of love exclusively to. i mean i send and receive so much love to my friends that it lightens my heart... but i have more to give! all in all though its been a good year so far. jay milla and i are starting to mess around with some recording... hopefully we'll add dave into the mix soon. I bought a new acoustic guitar and it sounds phenomenal. i really think this focusing on bettering myself is coming through better than expected. i've started to bike to work and i'm eating healthier. for chad's post iron man birthday thing i ate a salad and apple sauce at big boy... hows that for healthier? maybe i'll post soon, maybe not. either way i think its fitting to quote ben harper because he's the shit (and he found jack johnson)

| all it took was a tuesday to wednesday (9 days) to go from a 2 1/2 year relationship to being single. kelly is now in a relationship with brad. 9 freaking days to trump 2 1/2 years. lets boil that down 216 hours of being single and dating one guy compared to 21900 hours. now even assume 1/2 of that was bad... its still 10950 hours. i can barely comprehend. help? i mean i know her feelings were growing for him but god i didnt think they'd grow that quickly in a week.

| i took the same thing as kelly... see a trend? i'd the 2nd, 5th, 6th, 16th, and 31st as my top 5 (no particular order). i was hoping teacher would be on there (i love highschool kids). | | |
