First day back at college... already sick of it. I can't handle this stuff. I'm not good at having an attention span. I think my brain is broken.
FUCK.

I don't know why there's an exclamation point in the subject line...it's unnecessary, yet I feel that it's easier for me to type about how unnecessary it is than it would be to delete it.
Anyway...I'm on here just to post in this useless little space of mine. Nobody's even going to read this. HA! I'm on myspace now, baby. I'm not going to completely do away with my livejournal. I'll just make it so sad that it eventually can't stand the anguish and jumps off of a skyscraper made of 1's and 0's. Then I'll write a song about it. Eat that, you piece of crap blog! You feel about about yourself. You're worthless! Dammit, blog, you'll never be loved! (I'm mean to my blog. What the hell is it going to do? It can't do shit)
Purposefully, I'm not going to explain why I'm going to Tulsa. Why the hell should I? Nobody's going to read this anyway. They're all on myspace, too. The only reason I would have to explain why I'm going to Tulsa is if I wanted this blog to know. And I don't. It doesn't need to know. I'd rather keep it a secret, driving my blog insane. Anyway...

So...funny running into you here. Do you wanna get out of here and get a room or something?
I do...
Well, my life has been pretty...
Sorry, lost my train of thought. I guess my life has just been pretty.
It's Wednesday...I don't have my ENG 110 class today. For some reason. I have to work tonight, though. Until 8:00...
I just got Soul Caliber III. It's pretty cool, but I don't have enough really cool items to make really cool people in the character generator. And I kind of suck at the rpg thing they threw in there. I LOVE KATAMARI DAMACY. I've had that game for, like, 2 weeks and I love it to death. I just want to play it all day. It's so incredibly fruity, but it's really fun and awesome. I'm just rolling stuff into a ball. That's the whole damn point. I love it. And they made a sequel based entirely on the first one making money. That's really cool, too. I got a demo of the sequel with Soul Caliber III. It's even more fun than the first one. Japan rules! And even though I was only there for a couple of weeks, I really liked it and would like to go back. It was really fun and I kind of miss it. Especially the food. God, I'd go back just to eat.
Your faces make me sad...
But your ponchos make me happy!
Yay! Poncho party!! Ba-Bump-a-bump-bump!
Wheeeeeeee!!
You're silly...

I find that I only write in this when I'm in a bad mood. I'm having a bad day...It could be worse, but still...I don't like it. I think I'm Thursday intolerant. Anyway, I'm tired. I had two Monsters today. That's a big deal for me. I'm still tired, though. Energy drinks provide me with no energy. Damnit. Also, I'm stupid. That's all that I need to say about that.
I am now at work. It is 3:00 and I have to be here until 8:00. Damnit. My job isn't bad...but my day is. I want to just go to sleep and wake up and it be Friday...then I want to go to sleep and it be Saturday, then Sunday, then Friday again. Screw Monday through Thursday. Those days suck. Except art. While I stress about art a bit, I find that it is the class I most appreciate. It's three hours long twice a week, but I feel like it needs that much time and it goes by pretty quickly. So far this semester, Art has been the only class that I've had any kind of drive to do well in. I have a project due Tuesday that's going to be a pain in the ass. I know of some ways to just get through it with little to no trouble, but it will look bland. I want something impressive. On my last assignment, I seemed to impress Damnit Steve Willis, my art teacher that reminds me of a more happy-go-lucky George Carlin. As a matter of fact, I got a 95% on it. That's pretty cool considering Damnit Steve doesn't just hand out A's. Still, though... this day just sucks. Thursdays are dumb. Whoever thought of the concept of Thursdays needs to be dug out of their grave and punched in the face.
...and my brother is home...enough said.
***** Update *****
I forgot to mention that kAt has been very nice and tried to cheer me up...but I could not. She should have been tired of my whiny crap 5 minutes into it and I should have already been unconscious from the blow to the face she should have given me, but she just tried to cheer me up. Thank you. Also, for the comment that has already been: Thanks, Willis! You're a pal.
I'm still having a bad day, though. I'm on my boss's bad side...he had my supervisor lecture me. And I kind of lost a big thing that he had me and my pal Keith work on together. I don't know where they are saved. ...anyway, the day isn't over yet...it can always get worse.

I'm seriously bummed right now. I had art today. I know I suck, but... in a "positive" environment I shouldn't feel like crap, right? I had to turn in an assignment today where I had to represent fear, love, obesity, and death with lines, but with no specific symbolism. Even though I am a veteran slacker, I really racked my tiny little brain for this one. I did kind of settle on the death one because I was having trouble with it, but everything else reflected the feelings inside of me. Then, in class, we had to discuss the works. Our teacher asked for positive things...then maybe some things that we could work on. Nobody had anything positive to say about my piece at all. But I heard some negative things definitely. Some were constructive and logical, involving my use of pencil instead of ink, making it difficult to review the piece from a distance (I've had bad experiences with inking). But, some of them kind of made me feel worthless. One of them was sort of like: 'That one should have had more work put into it. It seems like everyone else tried hard and they just threw this together.' I felt like I put enough work into it, and it had a connection to me. If it looks like I threw it together, that means I'm just a failure. My treasure (well, not "treasure"...but I didn't hate it) was their trash. I know this is whiny, but it really hurt my feelings. She didn't consider that it had a meaning to me... Oh, well. I'll just try not to like my art any more. That way I guess I won't be so offended.

Well, let's see... Here I am blogging. What do I have to say? Hmm... Well, I've been bummed out most of the day... I had a bad dream last night. I might tell some of you about it, but I don't feel like writing about it. I only have two classes tomorrow and one hour of work. I'm pretty excited about that. I really just have to write something on here so I feel like I'm using my blog. I felt bad not blogging. So, I have an eBay problem again. I tell myself I'm saving up my money, then I go blow fifty bucks (maybe...we'll see in less than 20 hours) on eBay. Damn late night internet fixes. I get all kinds of stupid ideas in my head late at night. I should really learn from my mistakes...but I don't. Well, I'm tired. It's 2:00 AM and I'm going to bed, yo. Later.

Well, I've been back in Springfield since Sunday night and I've been taking an intersession course...focus: anime. This class is a special kind of awesome and I am really enjoying it. I have to write an essay of some kind in order to pass the class and I'm currently undecided as to what I will write about. We've watched some pretty awesome anime so far, however. We watched "Kimba, the White Lion," which is this really early anime that kAt was already familiar with. Just by watching the first episode, one can tell that Disney totally ripped it off, took the good parts out, and called it "The Lion King." Next we watched "GIGANTOR!" That was pretty awesome, too. Finally, yesterday we watched "Doraemon." That was really crazy and had some of the weirdest voice actors that I've ever heard in an anime. Then, today we watched an episode of "Astroboy" and the movie "Grave of the Fireflies," the most sad and depressing anime I've ever seen. Tomorrow we're going to go in depth and learn about manga artist, Rumiko Takahashi, and watch some of her anime.
Well, it's a new year... It's a time of change... changing goals, changing lifestyle, changing underwear... Anyway, it's a new year and I'm not sure what that means... I'm supposed to do something different? What? I guess I am doing some things a little differently, but not much and not because it's a new year. I'm changing things to change things. Some things just get old. I'm serious about my new band, but I'm losing confidence in myself again... I second guess myself and I don't feel as creative with an instrument as I do in my head. I'm so frustrated... I'll just have to get over it and keep on trucking because this band is all I have to be proud of. I am really excited that Ethan still wants to play with me. I feel like I'm holding him back. But, he is still in high school, so it's not like I'm keeping him from going anywhere or anything. Anyway... I guess I'll talk to everyone later... The new semester starts next Tuesday...

I'm done with finals, I'm officially on break, it's really late, and for some reason I feel like a bad person... I don't know why, but I feel like I've screwed up royally somehow. When? I don't know... Why? I don't know... It's just a really bad feeling, as if I've done something really wrong.
Well, tomorrow I should be hanging out with Ethan after he gets off of school. I have to practice. We've been working on some music...after some time off from playing music with someone, I'm trying to get back into it. Ethan and I are still in early preproduction for our music. We're being very careful about it, so don't be expecting anything any time soon. We want it to sound good. That's what it is all about. And with two people, we'll both have to try really hard to make something really good. I consider what we have so far as really good, but as I said, our songs are in their earliest stages and we're being slow and careful with every little detail, so we don't rush things and settle for an inferior sound. That's kind of what happened with the band before..."Yeah, well, that may BE what the song sounds like, but let's just go with this. Nobody will be able to tell the difference." Bullshit. Our rushing is what caused the band to collapse. I think it's for the best, though. What I've written with Ethan alone sounds better than anything I ever played with the others. I'm pretty excited about this. I've realized that if I want to be a professional musician, I need to take music more seriously, buckle down, and practice as often as possible. There will be more updates as time progresses, but I'll have very VERY limited internet access for the next month, because I'll be at home in Niangua... If I don't see some of you (but I hope to see all of you), happy holidays!! Later!

It's probably a good thing that my first entry about Setzer in Kingdom Hearts II didn't work, because it was a little much...I was overly excited and it actually caused me physical pain. I got so excited I got a stomach ache. Anyway, the reason I was so excited was that Setzer Gabbiani, gambler and airship pilot from my favorite videogame of all time, Final Fantasy VI is going to be in the upcoming videogame, Kingdom Hearts II. As far as I know Setzer has only been in Final Fantasy VI, which was released about 11 years ago in the U.S. as Final Fantasy III for the Super Nintendo gaming console. I don't want to get into why it was #3 here while it was #6 in Japan, but it was later re-released as Final Fantasy VI for the Playstation in the Final Fantasy Anthology package. Most of my gamer friends should know very well that Final Fantasy VI is one of my largest obsessions, considering I own the original cartridge of it as Final Fantasy III for Super Nintendo (which is now a collector's item and was when I got it), have it on my SNES emulator on my computer, and also have it for Playstation in the Final Fantasy Anthology package. Not only that, but I also own two copies of the 3-disc Final Fantasy VI original soundtrack, the piano collections of the soundtrack, and the orchestral arranged collections of the soundtrack, Final Fantasy VI Grand Finale. Anyway, back to Setzer in Kingdom Hearts II... The reason that this is so awesome is that it is a shock to me. In the first Kingdom Hearts, all of the Final Fantasy characters were from Playstation or Playstation 2 games. This made me a little bitter, considering my favorite game was on SNES. Also, KHII is coming out in Japan this month and all of the updates I have received until today made it seem very much like the first game in that none of the FF characters were from a non-Sony console. Also, on the SNES it is very hard to really tell what the characters look like due to major pixelization. To really find out what they were supposed to look like other than the menu face shots (like the one of Setzer that is now my userpic), one would have to look at production sketches and things of that sort. I fell in love with that game and so seeing Square Enix bring back a character like that and make him look cool and modern for Kingdom Hearts II...It makes me so happy. Oh, this is a long entry. Imagine how crazy the other one was when I was so excited and accidentally ruined it.
On a (slightly) different subject, tomorrow is dead day, so no school. I'm going to play Final Fantasy VI all day!!! I have a final on Saturday, though. But, I don't have school on Monday or Tuesday, and Wednesday I have finals, but then I'm done until January! Yay!! Later.

I just wrote a very very long entry about how Setzer from Final Fantasy VI is going to be in Kingdom Hearts II. As the image upload thing is stupid, my entry is gone. My bliss has turned to anger in that I am suddenly not feeling well. I will retype my message once I'm excited again. Later.

Well, when this day started, I was certain it would be horrible. I didn't want to get up, it was cold, and I knew I wouldn't get out of class until 9:00. Now, looking at things in perspective, today doesn't seem that bad. It's not even close to being over, but it has so far been better than expected. Even though I'm at work and even though I can't burn the 1.36 GB of music I now have for some stupid reason, I still have it on this computer to listen to (which I am currently doing) and life is good right now. When I got here (before clocking in...I hang out here sometimes on my off hours...I know. I'm a loser), I noticed that the lab was completely packed. There wasn't an open PC in the lab, so people went into the lab next door and filled that one up, too (by the way, if there are people in that lab, we are expected to help them, too). Knowing that Kevin and Maria would be leaving at 1:00, just when I start working and that Ally wouldn't show up until close to 2, I panicked. Things have turned out OK, though. It slowed down, Ally showed up a little early, and I could actually answer questions. I will probably update this post later, but maybe not. I gotta go to class.
*update*
Well, I'm back from class and back at work and things are still OK...sort of. I have homework for tomorrow that if I don't get done, will mean failing PSY 121. Oh...my laziness and procrastination gets me into a tight spot again... Oh, well. I have my late class tonight, but I'm not unhappy about it. First of all, we're watching a movie that is really good, "My Neighbor Totoro." Secondly, it's almost over...I wish I were more enthusiastic now...You don't know what you have until it is gone...or almost gone in this case... Well, I guess I should go... Later!

This was completely random...It makes sense, though...I've gotten in a car accident at my own house because I stepped on the gas instead of the brake. Dead serious, yo. I knew I wasn't supposed to drive. That's why I don't...

I registered for classes today. That's right, I didn't procrastinate...a lot. As a matter of fact, I registered at the absolute soonest possible time that I could. I waited to figure out the classes I wanted and see my advisor until yesterday, though. I now have my schedule for the Spring '06 semester and it is:
ENG 110 - Writing I - Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
MTH 103 - Intermediate Algebra - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
MED 204 - Mass Media Theory - Tuesday and Thursday
ART 100 - Two Dimension Design - Tuesday and Thursday
That's right. Only four classes. That's enough for me. It's still twelve hours. I'll just take one or five courses every summer to complete my general education requirements. I'm not in any big hurry to get out of here, so if I end up going to school for five or six years, so be it. I'm not biting off any more than I can chew. I'm following my dad's advice for once, and everyone acts like I'm doing something wrong. 'Twelve hours? Why not seventeen?' No way, man. Not for me. If I had more than twelve hours I'd probably quit my job. I can barely handle twelve hours as it is. I can't concentrate that long. I never even have time for videogames. If I'd known college would take away my videogames, I wouldn't be here right now.
By the way, I was correct. I was only sick because I hadn't slept much or eaten. I'm all better. I got a good 10 hours of sleep last night. Yep. I'm actually in a somewhat positive mood right now, too. Amidst the sleepiness and general hell that yesterday felt like, there also came depression. I'm OK today, though. Along with my health going downhill, my emotions are a little extreme when I'm tired. I get really weird and silly if I'm with certain friends, but I might also think about jumping off of a bridge. So, lack of sleep is just bad for me all around.
Well, I'll let you go now. Talk to you later, blog buddies.

...*bangs head on wall* Stupid... *Bang!* Stupid... *Bang!* Stupid... *Bang!* Stupid...
I'm a complete and total idiot. Yeah, yeah, everybody knows that already, but I just have to say it because I really feel like it right now. Procrastination on such a scale should be a crime. OK. So, in my CIS class I had to do like, 22 or 23 Microsoft Word assignments. I had all the stuff to do all of these assignments for weeks. I knew that they weren't due until the end of November, though, so I put them off. ...and put them off... and...put them off. Anyway, I could have had bonus points. I swear I could have had a 200% in that damn class if I weren't so lazy. It's like Hyde's class without Hyde. Most of it is a total waste of my time. It's the only class that I've allowed myself to actually skip...twice. It's that simple. But those damn Microsoft assignments are so time consuming. They were all due today and last night I hadn't started on any of them. So, like I should have known would happen, I worked on those stupid things from 10:00 p.m. last night until 6:00 a.m. this morning. Now I'm fucking sick. One reason might be because I walked in this ridiculous weather...another reason might be that I've decided not to eat for a while...(I ate a lot at Thanksgiving)...Anyway, I deserve it. I'm stupid. I did this to myself. I'm at work. I'm probably going to get into trouble.
On the upside, I met with my advisor today! Yay!! I've been cleared to register. I think I can get some pretty cool classes, too. ...It's about time, right?
Well, I'm sick and stupid and you all probably think it's hilarious, so I'm just going to shut up while everyone still has something to laugh about. Later.

Well, firstly, I hope that everyone who reads my blog as well as various other people in this world have a very happy Thanksgiving. There are some people (Mrs. Hallmark, for example) that I hope will get hit by a truck and have to eat their Thanksgiving meal through a tube (I still hate that woman...). Anyway, on with the entry...
My brother is engaged. I know. It surprised me, too. How the hell does a guy like that get a woman? Anyway, he's engaged to a chick that he used to know in, like, Junior High who moved away a long time ago. She's got a kid now and so I guess that will make me an uncle. She lives in Washington and I guess my brother plans to move there after getting out of the marines. Of course, I don't think any of this is going to last. They're probably both completely different people than what they remember from Jr. High. My brother just jumped into this. He's not mature enough to take care of a kid and this is going to end up bad. I think he just wants to get married because he thinks he's supposed to. All of his friends are married and he just wants to look normal. I think that's the same reason he joined the military. My grandfather was in the military, my dad was in the military, all of his friends were in the military, and he just thought that it was what he was supposed to do. He gets himself into so much shit I can't even believe it. Anyway, there's my rant about my brother. Honestly, I don't really care that much. He does so much stupid shit that I can't be expected to care. I'm just pissed that, if this works out, then I can't live in Seattle. He'll be there.
Ooh...excessive sleep, videogames, no school, no homework, no work, PUMPKIN PIE! I can't wait for Thanksgiving break. It's almost here, too. I have class in approximately 25 minutes and after that, at 4:15... My break will officially be started. I'm so incredibly giddy about this. I know I don't do that much as it is, but a break sounds so good right now. Oh, man. I'm excited. Anyway, I'd better get ready to go to class... Later.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... I have a Facebook problem, I'm afraid. Well, other than the fact that as I am writing this, it is open and I am refreshing it after each sentence I type (I'm the poke master), I also had a dream about Facebook last night. Since it got its little "photo album" thing, I had a dream that all of the pictures with my name tagged on them were deleted. There were two left and they were naked baby pictures...except the head was still my head!! My 18-year-old head on a little naked baby! I generally figure that dreams don't mean anything, because if I tried to figure out most of my dreams I'd end up dying of an aneurysm. But, what if this means something? If it does, what?? God, that was a really freaky dream, though. Anyway...
I'm at work. It's Wednesday. Thermos' bane...Wednesday. Wednesdays are evil. They are my Kryptonite. My Achilles heel. If I were the Green Lantern, Wednesdays would be yellow. Well, I'll stop being a nerd and get to the point: Wednesdays are my longest days. I get here at 10:00 am, leave here at 9:00 pm. To kAt or someone such as this, I'm a wuss. I know, kAt. You have a retarded number of classes. ...a lot of which are downtown. Still, you have to understand who I am. staying on a school campus, regardless how much food and moderately attractive women I see, it is still a school campus. I can't handle staying on school campus for 11 hours! It hurts me...deep within my bones, it aches. The pain!...OH! The pain.
[note: that was intended to be a Shat in text format]
Well, I went and saw Jim Gaffigan at Plaster Student Union theatre last night with kAt. It was a lot of fun. I really enjoy his stand-up. Well, I actually have some work to be doing, it appears. The lab is becoming crowded. Later.
