oh man….i finally got my ass out today after about 3 weeks of doing nothing strenuous. not only am i relieved that i didn’t hurt my knee or anything, but also that i managed to kick so much ass after taking so much time off. i rode my dad’s rickety bike on the slough trail to woodinville, and then took woodinville duvall to avondale and made it back home in an hour and 10 minutes. i know it is mostly flat, but i thinki had so much pent up energy that i just blew out as much as i could. man, that was beautiful. i swear, everytime i go riding, its theraputic for me, it helps me get my cravings for speed and getting outdoors out of the way, but also lets me think and listen to music and basically float off into my own little world. i don’t know how i ever got along before i started doing things outside…but yeah, i still have alot i want to write, but i think i’ll do it later tonight, i gots easter dinner to head off too.

so yeah, tonight was interesting…but in a good way mostly tonight.lots of hanging around jakub and his buds needless to say we did alot of recreationak things. oh well, think i;m goona try and ho rto sleep
man, i have not blogged in forever, but i guess some fun stuff has happened since the last time i did, i mean, it has been spring break.
first off, i went and saw ben folds which was pretty damn great, cause it was just him on the piano, and no backup band. i did end up seeing a very chus individual that i knew from elementary school and he goes up here to western and he is pretty much a tool. and seeing him being such an avid ben folds fan almost cheapened the whole experience for me. for a little bit it did. but i got over it. those superfans are really wierd to me, being ultimatly dedicated to a single person or band like they are. people that memorize all these stats about the band, etc, etc. i mean, i really do like ben folds’s music alot. but these morons who are superfans are just looking to prove that they’re like the #1 fan, that no one could possibly know more than them ablout it, therefore making you a more inferior fan.people like that are just a mystery to me, its like once you start getting into all the trivial details, it just cheapens the music to me. all these people who claim to be superfans and whatnot, i feel like they’re missing something from the music. its like instead of appreciating the music and the artist, it turns into a competetion, like people who don’t know what the bassists birthday is shouldn’t be able to listen to the music in the first place, and obviously can’t appreciate it. blagh…those people made me pretty angry at the concert…ben did a good job of getting the crowd involved and shit though, and i think that it was better than seeing him with built to spill, even though that was rockin’ too. still can’t beat out the energy of ben folds five though, i don’t think i’ll ever see a show that good again. it was also fun being there with my bro though, and eric. only eric and i had main floor tickets, and my brother had to sit int he balcony, so when eric and i got in, i took eric’s tiket stub and took it up to my brother onthe balcony, and snuck him in that way. i thought that was pretty slick anyways…but it rocked, and i had a good time, god i love ben folds…
next few nights involve scott and a few of his roomates coming up from cali on their roadtrip. and whenever i meet up witht hese guys, it’s craziness. we chilled in redmond the first night ended up hanging around with those guys and alyson.
…
yeah, so anyways…
got back that nigth and it was mikey’s birthday, which meant that it was time to get him completley trashed, like hella trashed. so anyways, the greatest thing was that i didn’t even get there in time to buy him a drink. as soon as adam and i walked intot he royal (the local ghetto dance club/bar, where all the hos congregate) mikey was already getting kicked out. we walked up to him as he stumbled out of the bathroom and he fell against the wall, and yelled “I NEED SLUTTY VAG!!!” with a bouncer looking right over hsi shoulder. so needless to say, his 4 dollar bribe wasn’t cutting it and he had to be escorted out. it was rad. but yeah, he was completley ruined, and we dragged him home, and he screamed at everyone, at one point in the night, he had called one of his friends that his girlfriend was a slut. he then proceeded to high five the boyfriend. it was hilarious. and latley we just been drinking and chillin’. its so nice to be able to go to bars and just buy 3.50 pitchers of PBR and just get sluttly off of like 2 of those, and sit around and bullshit with your friends.
i checked my finals, and my hardwork paid off, so i’m very pleased about that, and now i’m gonna go see the time machine (for free, thank god) so i wanted to write more, but i gotta go…oh well, i’ll probably write more tonight or something…hopefully, i want to just spend some time and write my thoughts down, haven’t done that in awhile….
wow….
school got cancelled today, like for the first time since the blizzard of ’72. it actually is pretty bad out there, and now that i think about it in retrospect, i’m glad that i kinda just skimmed the chapters instead of doing all the online stuff for the test i was plannign to do today. but since there is no school…i wonder what the hell they’re going to do for finals now that they missed a day. i mean, they can’t do it tomrrow, cause either there might still be snow on the ground, or the fact that there are still finals tomrrow will just be too much of a headache for them to deal with. maybe they’ll just drop the fainl and take the grade that you have right now for the class. that would probably suck for alot of people though, and many would complain i’m sure.
bah, whatever, ben folds tongiht….if i can get down to redmond that is, i really hope that my final isn’t tomrrow night or something…
but yeah, it dumped good, like a good 4 or 5 inches overnight, i thought that it wasn’t goign to stick, cause the ground was pretty wet, but that wetness on the ground just turned into ice underneath the snow, which i guess is pretty rad. i was supposed to see the on-campus doctor about my knee today too, but no more, since apparently they’er closed. ah well, i’m sure my knee is allright. but, its time to go play soem vids or something, so peace out.
ok, i would have posted as soon as i got back, but blogger was overloaded or something, and by the time i got back from the test, the elation that i had totally raped that test in under an hour wore off and i had to completley pass out till about 15 minutes ago. i only have one more final left….and since i’ve gotten A’s on the previous three tests, i’m not too worried about this one…one more day, then freedom!!! oh yeah, and i get to go see ben folds tomrrow! (my hero…)
haha, my roomate keeps spinning this remix of “erotic city” that he got yesterday by prince, its so tight…
allright, i gots to take a bus downtown to takew care of some shit…dammit, i hope my knee isn’t bad so i can start running and biking places like i usually do…
4 hours of sleep in the past 48….i am completley delirious, i swear that i’m going to fuck up on this chem test, not cause i don’t know my shit, its just that as my sleeplessness rises, my perception and motor skills are impaired. i have fucked up on so many problems that i’ve tried just because i’ve typed a 1.43 instead of a 1.46 because the number is right above it. i’m gonna drive myself crazy during this test i think, nto that i’m not already…
finals have got to be the biggest waste of freaking time…all this chem and math i learned is goign to be lost in a drug induced stupor directly after 7 pm tomrrow when i get plastered and go see ben folds. i am so looking forward to spring break…i lost concentration so many times just thinking about the limitless possiblities of spring break and the fairly small world of my chemistry book.
oh, and while i’m thinking about it, i was reading through trips’s blogs, and i know it was awhile ago, but he was confused about my halcyon days of college,and i totally understand where he’s coming from. i kinda meant it like teh fact that things between our group of friends has kinda changed. i mean, back in freshman year, we all lived together, we goofed off with each other and what not and it was great. its not like i don’t live with soem great people these days, but its just that since we all collectivly had less to do, we would end up doing lots of stupid shit. these days, it just seems like we sit around more and reminisce about those tiems as opposed to going out and doing more shit. people are more committed, have more things to do, including me. i mean shit, adam is my best friend up here or anywhere, and i see him about twice a day, cause i’m at school, or he’s working, or with his girlfriend, etc. and as more people move away and drop out, people just kinda dissappear, but most of the time you’re too busy to notice. i guess i can’t be completley sure if this is a bad thing or not, cause i guess eventually you have to stop fucking around and get down to business. but as with alot of my life, things are always better in retrospect.
well shit, its time to go…just imagining myself coming back here in a few hours and throwing down a nice blog that says “FUCK SCHOOL” makes me smile right now…
more to come…
finals suck…..no sleep till wednesday i suppose….dammit, i’m pretty fond of sleep, too
ok so yeah, ben’s site has been down for awhile, meaning i have been unable to blog latley, but i still think about blogging…
but yeah, now that i can again, i guess i’ll update some stuff. I turned 21 on sunday….but the real party was on saturday, when i turned 21 at midnight and after being pretty much drunk since friday afternoon, i was just kinda wandering around at the party that we went to that night, and i ran into this girl who had dated spencer (probably the only good friend i have from when i worked at safeway) so we ended up calling him at some point in the middle of the night…i don’t know, recolections hazy, but i do remember talking to him, and it being pretty funny. i do remember the part of the night where one of my frineds really HOT girlfriends decided that my present would be to show me her thong clad ass, which was absolutly beautiful, and then i talked her into flashing me, it was great. Pretty much all my friends showed up to this party too, so it was pretty fun. we were supposed to go out to bars that night, but by the time midnight rolled around, we were far too trashed to get to them, and the party we were at was pretty far away from the bars. but i bought my first alcohol at a 7-11 down the street (3 22’s of steel) and we plowed through those before heading back to the party. it was great being at the party when the cops came, and i didn’t have to run! well, i did anyways (old habits die hard, especially when you’re drunk) because mike and adam took off and i had to see where they were going. and i ended up running into this really flimsy chain link fence (it just had poles in the ground with a 4 foot high roll of chain link tied to it) and that managed to fling me to the ground in a very confused stupor because i had no idea there was a fence there. my actual birthday day was pretty good though, i got up to baker for the day and came home wrecked, it was great.
yesterday was pretty interesting though, i skipped school yesterday to go up to baker again, and it was probably the most beautiful conditions i have seen in awhile. it was about 26 degrees throughout the day, there was about a foot and a half of powder from the previous night, and there was no one there. so we got up at like 6 am cause one of the friends i was going with demanded that we leave as early as possible, but it was great cause we showed up all tired and shit, but he was all chipper and making blueberry pancakes and mixing juice for us and shit. it was rad. but yeah, so basically the day was great till about 2 pm. it was at that point that i tangled with a tree, and lost. i was kinda in the air so i couldn’t catch an edge so i pretty much straight up hit the front of my knee against the tree, felt some popping, and layed on the ground for a bit. i was right next to a chair lift, so i kept telling people to help me, but it took about a half hour before someone found me, so i was pretty cold when they did find me. but yeah, i got to be loaded up in one of those toboggon things and taken down the mountain on a snowmobile, which was pretty cool. i then sat around the med place for another 2 hours while we were waiting for two other people that we had taken with us. oh, and i had lost my wallet earlier in the day, so i wasn’t feeling too happy at the time. but someone called me about that about an hour ago to tell me that they had found it, so that made me happy. but i did go to the doctor today, and they told me i tore my ACL….ugh…..i hope this doesn’t keep me from being active for too long, but i remember that my friend eric tore his ACL and he pretty much kept tearing it after that. i really hope i don’t become like that, being active is such a big part of my life these days.
but back to studying finals for me (i have all this free time now that i injured myself)
ok, so i just read ben’s whole spiel on heaven and hell, and really its great because basically all of the holes that are in ben’s way of plotting things out are based on the same type of conjecture that the bible is.
kinda scary, huh?
so today i had a math test, and then a calculatorless math quiz consisting of doign derivatives by hand.
it is friday, i finished the week finally and now i am feeling beligerent
so i ate a very large brownie that we had cooked up on wednesday night and has been staring at me since then.
we’ll see how ownd i get….
