Wowzers.
I've not updated this thing in a long time.
Truth be told I don't frequent this side of the internet universe that often.
Ever since the My Space whirlpool sucked me in I've pretty much abandoned this ship.
But, I've always kind of missed the intimate setting that Livejournal seems to provide.
It feels more personal, to me.
So, I'm going to try and update this thing on a more regular basis.
Not for comments, or anything like that.
Cause aside from maybe one or two people, I don't really know of anyone that still has a Livejournal account.
But, for self gratification.
Anyways, it's two-thousand and eight.
and it feels like the world skipped over two-thousand and seven.
Last year flew by far too quickly.
It snowed, today.
It was like ten days late, though.
I'm listening to the newest Dinosaur Jr. album right now.
Intitled Beyond.
Only three tracks in, but it's really good.
Dinosaur Jr. is one of those bands that I've known of for years, but never really appreciated until last year.
Well...
That's pretty much it.
I hope everyone who may read this had a great New Year's, and has an amazing two-thousand and eight. |

When the X Box 360 Elite came out. I showed very little interest. I didn't think I needed to upgrade seeing as I very rarely use my 360 to begin. I seem to get all my video gaming needs fullfilled with the Wii, but this kinda makes me want to buy another 360.

Alisha and I broke up.
It was mutual, something we both thought was for the best.
I tried to force a relationship that was never there.
and I've come to realize that, although very similiar, her and I are just too different to really work as a couple.
She's a intellectual, and I'm, well a slacker.
She's smart, classy and humorous.
Everything a girl should be.
and this time, I hope we remain friends.
I love her,
but I don't want that to be confused with me being "in" love with her.
Because that's certainly not the case.
I do love the idea of her, or the idea of her I've formed in my head.
and that's about the extent of that. |

I've not updated this thing in nearly three months.
I hate how livejournal has went out of style.
I personally prefer it over My Space.
Oh well.
Things are decent.
Between work and school I really don't have much time to do anything else.
I have a new job.
I had to get away from TMK.
I'm now working at Movie Gallery.
How suiting, haha.
Thus far, it's been highly enjoyable. |

I haven't updated this thing in a while and decided I should.
I have nothing better today.
First lets talk about today.
I didn't vote and I didn't have any classes today.
So Jason, Keil and Myself decided to go to Huntington.
We ended up going to the mall.
Hoping that one of the gaming stores would have slipped up and released Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 to no avail.
I keep forgetting that the Wii comes out in only eleven days.
Um...went into Borders and almost bought Eric Bischoff's: Controversary Creates Cash, but I can't recall the last night I paid $26.00 for a wrestling book, I don't even remember paying that much for the Mick Foley books.
We ended up going to Toys R' Us and eating at Sonics.
Watched both Borat and The Prestige at Pullman Square.
Borat is probably the funniest movie I have seen and The Prestige is the best movie I've seen this year.
I'd love to go into detail about both, but I'm a bit too tired for that.
I'm going to download all kinds of Wrestlecrap radio for work this weekend.
I did end up picking up Tales From The Crypt: Season Five for this weekend as well.
I got a .25 cent raise.
I need to clean my room.
Hm...I actually have more to say, but I'm just tired. |

I'm really excited about seeing The Science of Sleep.
It looks every bit as good as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
There are several films that I am excited about.
Like Borat, For Your Consideration, Hollywoodland, Marie Antoinette, Night at the Museum, Pan's Labyrinth, Running With Scissors, Saw III, School for Scoundrels, Stranger than Fiction, Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning(lame title), The Black Dahlia, The Departed, The Fountain + The Prestige.
I'm sure some will disappoint me and some will exceed my expectations.
The fall usually offers better movies than the summer does.
Especially consider this past summer was so lackluster.
I love the fall.
Boring days.
Hoodie weather.
Rain + Walks in the park.
My sleep habits tend to get worse during the fall, though.
Sleep less, think more.
Alot of time seems to be wasted on sleeping.
I didn't sleep a wink last night, instead I stayed up all night finishing off Season One of Lost, playing Duck Hunt and working on my TNA CM Punk custom(which if I can say looks really great).
Desperately, I need to get a life.
I've been listening to alot of Death Cab For Cutie + Radiohead.
Hail to the Thief keeps getting better and better.
My parents are going to Indiana this weekend and I'll have the house to myself.
I plan on taking advantage of that and watching alot of old Universal horror movies in the front room.
I downloaded all kinds of old Celebrity Deathmatch episodes on iTunes.
The old version of the show was really much better, mostly because it was 100% stop motion, the new one is mostly CGI and I really can't get into it for some reason.

It never fails.
Anytime Alisha and I decide to go somewhere we always get lost.
Sunday was no exception.
I knew how to get to where we was going, but those wacky Yahoo! directions threw me off.
The goal was simple.
To get to Pullman Square.
8th and 9th Street fucked us over, though.
I think the funniest part was coming back to Louisa though.
I missed an exit and she said to just go through this backroad in Ashland.
Quickly upon entering the boonies we both realized how badly we needed to pee and after about 30-45 minutes of holding it in we finally found a gas station.
It's rare for us to actually go out and do something and stuff like this is discouraging.
None the less we had some great conversations.
Upon getting back to Alisha's house we ended up watching Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter is Dead. |

So I get in these moods where I become very indecisive.
I'm always going to miss Renae.
and there's always going to be a part of me that wants to be with her.
She brought out the best in me, as well as the worst.
It's the only time I have said forever and meant it.
For a year I built my life around her.
So it's only natural that I would have reoccurring thoughts about her.
it's sad.
Knowing that everything I do now isn't for her.
I have a good thing with Alisha.
But this isn't meant to last.
and I don't mean that out of disrespect.
We both know this.
These are our in between days.
I miss the affection Renae brought to a relationship.
She was the highly affectionate one and I was the shy one.
With Alisha.
We both play the role of the shy one.
But the conversation value is amazing.
(and there are brief moments in time when this all becomes really special, the looks and glares of what to do next)
I never get bored or run out of things to say when talking to her.
First and foremost her and I are friends.
So in a way it doesn't feel like we are dating.
Mainly due to neither one of us being affectionate towards each other.
When we try, it becomes slightly awkward.
Ideally your not supposed to have a game plan.
But maybe it would be best if we did.
We are both awkward and shy and just don't know how to go about things.
Bad coordination skills.
But also because our whole relationship is built around friendship.
I don't know if people realize this or not, but most boyfriend/girlfriend relationships aren't built around friendship.
More so around circumstance.
Dating before knowing each other type thing.
Those relationships usually only last a short period of time.
I've toyed with the idea of being alone, but I've grown so attached to having someone around that it's become a need.
Not saying thats the only reason that I'm dating Alisha, but I'm sure that played a part in it though.
Being with her makes the most sense in my life right now.
As distorted as it seems.
As for work.
I've grown to hate TMK.
Downright loathe it.
and I don't really have a good reason to though.
I so badly want to work at a movie store or the entertainment department at Walmart.
Pathetic, I know.
But that seems to be what I want right now.
School wise.
I've never been the smartest kid, but I've always know I could push myself harder.
and I find myself doing so this year.
I have more time to focus on homework and I'm not as easily distracted as I once was.
I've been listening to Radiohead alot lately.
Finding myself lost in the layers upon layers of sound.
I've always confused my needs with wants.
and I've recently realized that life is everything and nothing all at once. |

still sick.
eating big bunches of soap and keeping warm.
watched alot of curb your enthusiasm over the weekend.
went to alisha's yesterday.
it was nice.
we watched entourage and arrested development.
i had to leave early due to feeling sick though.
i'm glad september has finally arrived.
my favorite time of the year.
i gave alisha a spooky toy, which she seemed to like alot. |

I went over to Alisha's the other, and stayed for nearly ten hours.
It was nice to spend time with her.
She's a good friend, and she doesn't ask too many questions.
and we don't fight.
School was okay today.
I was pretty tired the whole day, so when I got home I took a nap.
Thad canceled his bonfire thing, which may have been a blessing in disguise.
Cause I've been pretty tired the whole day.
Oh, I finally watched Clerks II over the weekend.
The movie was good, but I made the mistake of hyping myself up for it too much.
My only main complaint was the alot of the music placement was bad.
Namely the scene where Dante goes to find Becky they played The Smashing Pumpkins "1979", it just felt like it ruined the flow of the movie.
Also the scene where they are rebuilding the Quick Stop, they played Alanis Morissette's "Everything", which was awkward too.
I'm glad it rained today, that was nice. |

It's like this every week.
The excitement and the dread of my final day at work, until the following Thursday.
More so than ever I'm tempted not to go to work and not because I have some big plans for tonight, but much rather because I'd love to stay home and sleep all day.
Which coincidentally is something I could easily do at work.
(Note to self: I need to stop dosing off at work, because last night I was pretty damn close to being caught).
Tonight I'm taking all of my Adult Swim dvds, as well as a couple of volumes of Futurama and a season of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I always take more dvds than I have time to watch, but I always like to have a wide selection to choose from.
(Note to self deuce: pick up Curb Your Enthusiasm Season Four and Five.)
The market place of CGI movies is severely over saturated.
I just seen a commercial for a new CGI movie, that looks like one that came out in theater's in July.
I remember a time when you would be lucky if one or two CGI movies where released in a year.
But now it seems as if there is one or two released every month.
It really makes me wish they'd just go back to the classic disney pencil animation and I assume eventually everything will come full circle and standard animation will become "it" again.
Sadly I doubt Stop-Motion animation(by favorite form of animation)will ever become a "it" thing, mostly due to the painstaking process and patience it takes to make a stop motion film.
Plus, I think it's better in small doses.
I hate having a sore throat.
I'd much rather be full blown sick, than have a sore throat.
Mainly because when you have a sore throat you are still able to go about your daily activities, just with a clitch.
I've been sucking down those Halls Fruit Breezes like they where candy, in actuality I believe they are candy.
They taste to good not to be.
My sore throat has entered it's final stage.
The one where it no longer hurts, but still feels as if something is caught in your throat. |

So i spent the majority of today worrying as to if Alisha received her flowers or not.
Thankfully she got them.
So lets talk about today.
I found out I have to find a place to do my Business Internship, I'm hoping to do it at Page III.
Car pooling is the greatest thing ever.
I bought a new pair of shoes today.
Vans, Checkered(Black and Charcoal Grey).
Ugh, No luck finding Sealab 2021: Season Four.
Is it wrong to apply things from a former relationship to a current one.
As In, I find myself calling Alisha "poptart".
Which is what I use to call Renae.
I guess my excuse would be that Alisha reminds me more of poptart than Renae.
Frosted strawberry ones.
I have to write a paper on what I think is the most romantic movie of all time.
My obvious choices would be Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Edward Scissorhands.
But, I want to be alittle not so obvious.
So I'm either going to write it about Bride of Frankenstein, Creature from the Black Lagoon or King Kong.
Pretty much everyone choose Edward Scissorhands.
It and The Notebook(obviously), where the most popular choices. |

So, I always thought the most romantic way to ask out a girl would be during a zombie movie.
Why you ask?
Because zombies are not only cool, but melt a girls heart.
So Alisha and I are watching Day of the Dead.
We kinda already had an unspoken agreement that we were dating.
But, I still thought it necessary to formally ask.
So the opening credits of Day of the Dead are rolling.
There is this semi-graphic scene where an Albert Einstein looking zombie turns the the camera and the "Day of the Dead" graphic pops up.
I asked her the pause it there.
And I turned to asked her to date me.
She said yes, and we went about watching the movie.
We are properly calling this "the sequel".
And even though most sequels don't live up to there predecessor, there are some exceptions to the rule.
And it sounds alot better than "the sophomore slump".
I don't have any expectations for this relationship.
But, Yeah.
That is that.
So, I'm sure everyone has heard and discussed the whole Jon Benet Ramsey thing by now.
But how sudden and out of no where was the whole confessional thing?
Crazy, I really thought it was her parents that killed her.
Haha, next they will probably finally solve the Nicole Simpson/Ronald Goldman murders.
It always amazes how some murders can go unsolved, specially high profiled ones. |

So, so.
Where to begin.
Well my current schedule is as follows.
Mon-Tue-Wed.
Class.
Thu-Fri-Sat.
Work.
Sun.
My personal day, which I will alternate between actuallu hanging out with Alisha, as well as hanging out with Jason.
I found out today that I have enough credit hours to be a substitute teacher, haha.
Um..oh Jason talked to me today about possibly getting an apartment together in Paintsville.
At first I wasn't to keen with the idea, but after giving myself alittle time to think about it.
Well I think it would be pretty cool.
I could stay up there Sun-Thu and go to school(save some gas money).
and come home Thu(Night)-Sun(Morning)to work.
I ran it past mom and she seemed to be okay with it and even offered to help pay if needed.
I still don't want to jump in and do it just yet, although I have all the faith in the world in Jason, I still want to see if he can make it through his first semester.
If so, I'd be all for it in January(or maybe sooner).
I've also thought about possibly transferring to Morehead and Pikeville, yet again. |
