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….

man oh man, its almost my 21st. i would start celebrating tonight, but i have a math test tomrrow which i’m gonna have to spend a few hours studying (which is unfortunate cause we have a pan of brownies laying around, and another 20….very tempting) but yeah, its just applied calculus, and our teacher isn’t that rough, so its not going to be mega applied calc, just some fairly easy stuff, so i’m not too worried, just gotta look over homework and stuff.

oh man, i had my parents bring up the rest of my super nintendo games last night, cause i wanted to get super mario bros. and mario all stars. playing super mario world last night just made me think about how much nintendo has revolutionized video games. i mean, with each of their systems (besides the gamecube) all the nintendo consoles have been realesed with a mario game, and that games just sets a new standard for the industry.nintedno comes out with super mario brothers, super nintendo comes out with super mario world, and nintendo 64 has mario 64. it kinda makes me wonder how the mario for the gamecube is goign to shape up, because really, it has some hard acts to follow…

but yeah, it snowed again today, just lightly dusting, but considering that its averaging about 20 degrees with windchill, its been pretty fuckin’ cold. cold enough to keep me from running yesterday and today anyways. its kinda nice to sub in dancing for a half hour as opposed to running for a half hour though, cause the way i dance, doing it for a half hour (to jubgle) is a pretty damn good workout.

i had a concert last night though, and i don’t really know what to think about it. we played three pieces, and two of them were allright, and the mozart was just boring. i mean, i didn’t even really like teh rimsky-korsakoff piece we played case all it was was 2 theme’s playted over and over again, with a couple of instrument solos in between. i hardly played half the time cause it was just too fast and i couldn’t keep up (i guess, cause i don’t practice). but yeah, it was just a real crowd pleaser cause it kept building until it was a frenzy at the end, and it ends on a sudden note, so its real high energy stuff. but it just kinda seemed gimicky to me…i think we’ve played better pieces in the past. i really liked the bizet we played (a couple of pieces from his opera Carmen) and i thought all of the 5 suites we played from it were really good (except the les toreadors, which is really over played). but yeah, it went well, i actually managed to play parts i couldn’t previously, and keep along at parts when i would normaly just say fuck it and use my position in the back to allow me to slide, and not do anything, but yeah, its all good

so yeah, i’m gonna go play super mario brothers I with jakub, rad

by the way, imood.com should have the mood SHOOT ME IN THE HEAD!!!

cause that’s how i’m feeling now

math…

man…i want the weekend to bem here again…jesus, i swear that i am in such a routine latley that i don’t even know how i slipped into it. i spend 10 to 4 at school everyday these days, and when i have an hour break between classes, i’ll always have some homework to do. and then i come home and chat with peopel for an hour or something, then i go for a run. i come back and workout and shit and stretch and then eat dinner. then i do more homework. i have homework or reading EVERY SINGLE DAY, and if i don’t do it, i fall behind, and in reality, i have wasted too much time retaking classes to fall behind more…

so in a sense, the halcyon days of college are gone, and now its studying all the time. i want the weekend to be here so i can do all the things taht i want to without the impedence of school or homework in teh way. i mean, if i had a job, i would just get drunk right now. at least after i spend 6 hours someplace, i shouldn’t have to come home and then do more work. i should be able to come home and get drunk and watch TV, or something. but my day in a sense is not over yet, cause i still have more stupid stupid work to do. i hate school. this quarter cannot end soon enough. math classes cannot end soon enough. everynight they give you 20 or so problems, and then they wan you to turn them in. in a given week of math i would say that i would have to do about 100 problems, and then take either a quiz or a test at the end of each week. jesus, in chem we’ll spend 2 weeks on a chapter and i’ll only have to do 30 problems, and not have to turn it in or anything. just one more quarter of math…fucked.

but yeah, the weekend was glorious, i mean, i just got drunk friday night, where me and mike owned a 4 liter jug of wine. then saturday it was beautiful so we played ulimate frisebee, and then decided to just go out and find someplace to camp. so we got hella trashed and made a huge fire. i mean, it was great.damn money, why does everything hae to be expensive? maybe i should just cut down on costs by growing my own food.

hmmm, this is interesting…this is the first blog that i have typed from a computerthat is not my ownin a looooong time, pretty much since i started it up at starflower. and this space bar is really crappy, so if there’s even more errors than usual, it might be cause i’m trying to keep the noise down, cause this space bar rocks back and forth. but yeah, anyways, i was just studying for a test i have in a few hours on-line (this guy posts practice exams with answer keys, and then uses about half the questions on the real tests) but since this doesn’t take any focus at all, i can listen to music with lyrics. and latley itsa been the pharcyde, bizzare ride II the pharcyde. and after really listening to all the lyrics of this album, i can almost say that this is the greatest hip hop album i’ve listened to (which i admit probably doesn’t cover a huge spectrum) but i mean, at least this is the album where you can tell these guys are having a blast with what they’re doing. the fact that you’re hearing these guys laughing and just being high and producing something, just makes you happy to listento it, cause you know that they’re just writing music and just doing it for the hell of it. i mean, their rhymes consist of hilarious topics like dealing with your friends mom coming on to you, and having sex with her, and then having your friend walk in on you (song title: oh shit) and having to go to the bathroom to jack off cause you don’t think you should wake up the girl you spent all last night banging (on the dl). they also have a song totally dedicatedto dissin’ ya mama. and of course, probably one of the best hip hop songs of all time called passin’ me by, which has pretty much been my anthem for the past few months. all the beats are tight too, and its very well produced. but yeha, i don’t understand why my listening cycle has changed so much latley. i mean, i still love techno music and what not, and i still regularly listen to it, but latley, our cd player int he living room always has hip hop, and whenever i go to school i bump hip hop. i’m always listenign to a tribe called quest, or jurrasic 5, or wyclef, or the fugees, or black star, or the roots, or slum village, or de la soul, or the pharcyde, or dialated peoples…and dre too (but i don’t necesarilly consider that hip hop, chronic 2001 is just really good, and one of thos memory filled cds)

but when i think about it more, i really know that i totally agree with ben these days in that its stupid to say that any music is bad. i mean, realistically, i can’t listen to eveythign at once, and different things pique my interest over time. it just comes down that you listento whatever you like, and you can like a whole lot of things, so its stupid to limit yourself by saying that you don’t listent to a whole genre of music. i mean, what’s the point of limiting yourself like that? if a country song you hear actually sounds pretty cool to you, and you connect with the lyrics or soemthing (even though they may be cheesy or whatever) you still enjoy listening to it. so why the hell shouldn’t you do so?

the greatest part is that there is so much music out there….and there’s always something new to find. thank god for the internet. if not for the internet, i would probably be limited to what the radio played. cause it would take alot of work to find bands that were similar to other bands, cause you would have to spend money on the cd, or find someone who had heard it. i guess it would make sense to be very specific of what kind of music you want ot listen to, cause you would have to pay 16 bucks a pop for a new cd. but jesus, now that you can get anything for free for very little effort, possibilities are endless to find great music.

well yeah, that’s enough preeching from me i suppose…i need to get back to studying and then its time for weekend….sweet weekend….
