God, I’ve got a lot I want to talk about. Alex and Atlanta, The Matrix, Jess, etc…just a warning that this might be long!

Ok. First off, everybody and anybody reading this needs to make sure they see The Matrix Reloaded. I went and saw it Thursday afternoon and then took my little brother and saw it again on Friday afternoon. And it is KICK ASS! I’ve heard a lot of people complain about it not living up to the hype, but folks, if a movie doesn’t live up to “hype”, it’s not the movies fault. It’s the critics who are hyping it and those of you out there who are listening to it. Don’t read about moveis before they come out…hell, you end up finding out what is going to happen. The fight scenes are kick ass, the sex scenes are kick ass, the funny scenes are kick ass, and the whole damn movie is kick ass. I’ll admit, the Zion part of the movie could hvae been toned down a little bit and cut shorter, but it still was good overall. I loved how they carried on the story and I can’t wait to see The Matrix Revolutions in November!

My bro Alex is home for the weekend. We watched some TV tonight and played video games for a while, which was pretty fun. I’ve been friends with him every since the 4th grade, making him by far my oldest friend. He goes down to Georgia Tech and I was hoping to live with him this summer. He doesn’t have any extra rooms in his apartment, but he has a free couch, which is just the same to me =) I am going down there this week to see if I can get a job anywhere down there that pays well. I’ll be more then willing to work 50+ hours a week if it means I can make some money. I have no idea if I am going to be able to bring my computer down there though. I spend like all my time on the computer, so it would be a huge shock to me. But don’t worry, even if I can’t bring my computer, I’ll have access to the Internet, so I’ll still be able to blog.

If things don’t pan out in Atlanta, I’m pretty much just going to pack up and head to a random city. I’ve got a few places in mind, but I would really love to live with Alex in Atlanta. He’s fuckign awesome and fun as hell to be around. I don’t really drink at all, but him and his roommates do, so it would be interesting to spend a summer with them =) I’ve got like all my stuff packed up in boxes and I think I am taking it down to Columbia to store in a storage place. That is going to be a little expensive and I have no money. Plus, I found out how much I owe for my car insurance (a fucking lot) so I REALLY need to find a WELL PAYING job sometime soon =) I went a listed a shit load of things on E-bay tonight. I’ll post the link to it later. Y’all should go buy some things from me =)

The yard sale was rained out today. I was really fuckign pissed, because I needed some money. We had scheduled a kickball game for today, so we went ahead and played. The field was just ONE HUGE MUD PUDDLE and it was damn fun. Everybody got covered in mud and all we were doing was slipping and falling all over the place. My team sucked though….lol. We actually hung with them for a while, but we got beat in the latter innings.

Jess was in town last Thursday, so I went over to her house for a few hours to watch Must See TV with her. After that, she was about to go to bed since she had to wake up at 5:30 to go and drive on a 7 hour trip. However, we started talking about things and had a pretty long talk. I found some pretty interesting things out about her, and I talked a lot about how I’ve been feeling lately and what’s been going through my mind, and just things like that. We really didn’t figure anything out and I honestly don’t know where we stand. We both end up confusing each other by things we say and I do think that is part of our problem. See, we both see almost everything in complete opposite ways. It’s almost alarming at the difference of opinions we have on practically everything. From little things like who calls who to big things like the rules of dating and how we spend our free time…things like that. My “Religious” beliefs are amazingly complex as well, which doesn’t make things any easier and it’s hard for me to explain most of it to people, including her. 99% of the things I believe would be written off as foolishness by many people, so it makes it hard to explain, especially when I myself am still discovering the rules. =)

I was helping my mom with some boxes today and I found some prom pictures from high school and some other pictures of like things I’ve bought her and stuff and it made me just miss her like nothing else. I can see this summer and beyond being pretty rough. Not just relationship wise, but internally as I struggle and battle my two sides out. Trust me, I’ll go more into detail about that later…

Well, it’s 2:54 and I am heading to bed. Peace.

All right, well now it’s time to repost my original post. I honestly have no idea what I posted before, so this is pretty much just a brand new post =)

So what did I do today? I cut the grass…I know, I know. It was amazing sight. There I was. Actually cutting the grass. I remember HATING to do it every 5 days when I was younger and forced to by my parents. But this time, I actually found that it was quite relaxing! I guess I’m “growing up. “Go figure.

Did anybody see the season finale of The West Wing? The writters on that show are easily some of the best in the business. Everybody should check it out next season! But it’s a little tough to keep up with at times, so don’t start channel surfing =)

Wow, I have nothing to talk about. I think I’ve found a place to stay for the summer, but I’m not 100% sure yet, so I don’t want to say much about it yet. But if it all works out, I’m sure I’ll be posting about it on here. My family is also moving to West V. or Virginia. I’m not really sure which yet and in fact, I hate it. I’m only going to get to see them once a year - twice if I am lucky. I’ll be able to talk to them on IM, but it’s just not the same. Oh well. I’m off to work a little on my site and then go to bed. Take it easy everyone.

1-30 baby. Nothin better then winning a game of backyard baseball in the bottom of the 9th. And to think, I still got the W even though I had a 30.00 ERA

Paintball yesterday kicked some serious ass. No, I’m not kidding, I got my ass kicked folks. Almost everybody out there were hard core players who had guns that shot 100 yards, small pistols, sniper rifles, grenades, bazookas, artillery, fighter jets….ok, maybe I made a few of those up, but it sure as hell seemed like it. And here I was, with the rental gun that never shot in the same motion twice, trying to hit guys who were far out of my range, and being pelted with paintballs. And damn was it fun =) I just wanted to try one game using some of the equipment those other people had. Tommy let me use his gun once when we were defending this bridge. It was pretty much down to Tommy, Clay, Drew (Tommy’s best friend), and Me. We had a few little kids as our last line of defense, but they were scared shitless and didn’t really want to fight back. I had a good line of sight, so Tommy tossed me Clay’s gun, which has a nice 16-inch barrel on it, giving it some damn good range. I just stretched out and started picking people off one by one. Then there was this one map with an old mine shaft in it. Tommy, Drew, and I went in and snuck up behind the other team and had our way with them. We tried using that same strategy against another team, but it didn’t quite work. Tommy was leading and I was behind him and as Tommy was walking out of the shaft, two gun barrels just dropped into view from above the shaft and I heard “surrender…” Tommy said a few cuss words, I dove back into the shaft, and hid in the mud as the enemy just littered the shaft with paint.

As we were marching to the battle in one map, this little kid named Hunter runs up and joins our team. Now by little, I mean 7 years old little and small for his age. As we are walking, Tommy and I are talking about how we will help protect him and he says “Mother fucker, it sure is hot out here.” Tommy and I stare at each other and ask him what he said and he repeats it for us as casually as asking for a glass of milk. Then, as we get to the battle, he shoots me in the back of the head to make sure his gun worked. Damn thing hurt like hell and I wanted to shoot him back so badly. We ended up getting flanked and then massacred that game. It wasn’t too fun =)

Last night Tan and Ronak had a nice little barn…err, bon fire. I personally advised against throwing the lighter into the fire. I was outvoted 4-1 though. About 30 seconds later, all 4 who voted against me quickly agreed that it should have been 0-5 in favor of the “let’s use common sense and all say hell no at the same time” platform that I campaigned under. =) It took us 5 or 6 hot dogs before we got the hang of how to actually cook them. Since when does tin foil burn? I remember cooking hamburgers in the middle of a fire without it burning. Maybe it was magic tin foil. I guess we’ll never know…

I just saw that my neighborhood is having it’s yearly yard sale this weekend. Now folks, I love yard sales. Not only do I have boxes upon boxes of shit that I need to get rid of, but can’t quite bring myself to throwing away because they have some value in them. And what better way to unload junk you no longer want than at a yard sale? Yet I always use the money I’ve earned and go buy other people’s junk they no longer want, quickly refilling the junk I just sold. It’s a vicious cycle that I would never wish upon anyone.

Well, I am off to work on my site a little more and then go to bed. Take it easy folks.

[EDIT]I’m going to play paintball this morning. I mean, what better way to release all my anger and frustration then beating the hell out of people who are too slow to run from me? Hopefully I’ll have some pictures to post this weekend.[/EDIT]

I don’t really feel like posting, but since both this site and baseball are ways I relax myself, I figured I might as well post since it’s dark outside.

I now need to find a place to live and work this summer. Things with Jess and I are rocky at best and so I can’t be living with her. I don’t want to stay in Columbia, and my hometown isn’t an option since my parents are moving within a month. If anybody knows of someplace I could live and work, I would be eternally thankfull to you. I don’t take up much room, I have my own car, and I’m a non-smoker who couldn’t care less if you smoked a pack a day. And I’m serious. If the only place I can find is in Paris, then I’ll start brushing up on my French =)

When I started ubpacking tonight, I realized one thing. 99% of the stuff I bring to college, I don’t need. I mean seriously, my 9th grade geometry notes? My pictures from middle school field trips? 8 pairs of jeans? My high school yearbooks? A ski mask? Ok, I could see using that in an emergency, but you get my point. I could see keeping most if not all of it for keepsakes value, but honestly, I don’t need to lug it with me everywhere I go. I’m gonna go check out one of those storage places you can rent so I can pack this stuff away.

I also need to get a loan. I have no clue even where to begin. The bank I am currently with with officially sucks ass, so I need to find a new one. But then, why would this new bank give me a loan when I’ve only been with them for a few weeks? I guess I need to go back to Columbia and even see if my bank gives loans. I will physically laugh my ass off right there in the bank if they tell me they don’t.

Well, I guess that is all for tonight. I’m really in the mood to type a whole lot, but I have nothing to talk about (as if you couldn’t already tell by crap I’ve stuck in this post). I’m seriously about a place to stay too. Drop me an IM or e-mail if anybody knows of anywhere. Take it easy y’all.

I didn’t believe her. I made her pull out her diploma. And sure enough, my mom graduated from here.

Gotta love it.

Alright, well I think I have most of the pages working now. Everybody needs to go visit Jackie and tell her how awesome she is! She walked me through my problems and I couldn’t have done it without her help! THANK YOU JACKIE!

I updated the Predictions Page page tonight. And by update, I mean totally go all out on….lol. Everybody go read what I had to say about your favorite team and let me know how you feel!

I have an exam in less then 36 hours and I don’t seem to care at all. I have yet to start studying for it and it’s my last one, so I really am having trouble getting motivated to study for it. I applied today for some jobs this summer. I’d love to be able to get a babysitting gig in the morning and a part-time job in the evening. I just need to save up some money for next semester =) Well, I am off to bed for the night. I’ll update again tomorrow!

This site is being working on right now….I’m trying to basically get a new layout up. I’ve been looking at a ton of code lately and I still don’t figure out how these other people are laying out their sites. I want to do what they are doing in theory, but this is way over my head….just hang with me for a while….

Quick post before I go to bed since I have 2 exams tomorrow, but I’ve GOT to comment on this utter crap.

They are going to give homefield advantage to the team that wins the All-Star game in baseball. Now everybody in baseball knows this is a reaction to last years All-Star Game tie, but folks, I am sorry. The All-Star Game is an EXHIBITION game! This is a time for players to rest. Baseball MEANT to put their All-Star Game in the middle of the season to give the players a break, and that was back when the schedule was only 154 games long. Now that it’s 162, it’s even more important to rest the players. NOW we expect the best ball players this country has to offer to go out there and bust their ass for homefield advantage - something they might not even have a shot at since their team probably won’t go to the playoffs.

But Goob, you might find yourself saying, it’s just homefield advantage. It’s not THAT huge. Oh skippy, how nieve you really are…going back into the early 1970s, EACH AND EVERY World Series that went to a Game 7 (which is played on the “home” field) has WON! That means every singel World Series game 7 I’ve seen in my life has had the home team come out on top.

And even if baseball wanted to make the All-Star game a little more exciting and meaningful, this was clearly not the first step. Let’s try eliminating the rule that says each team must have 1 representing player. You think the 3-23 Detriot Tigers deserve an ALl-Star?! Are you kidding me?! And homefield advantage for the WORLD SERIES could come down to a DETRIOT TIGER?! HELLO!!!!!!!! I swear to god I’ve woken up in Bizaro World….

But like I said, this is just a reaction to last year’s game. Baseball wants to keep happy the people in high places who shell out $500 to go watch one of these pointless games just so they can pull out their cell phone and look important whenever the camera shines on them. So how would I suggest determining the method for which team gets home-field advantage?!?!

How about the team with the best record?? Or is that too simple for the thugs in charge of baseball……..

Everybody go here and click on the first video, titled Bush v. Bush. It’s one of the funniest clips The Daily Show has ever done.
