Well, the adventure down south wasn't so terrible, we went, we saw, we returned. We evaded the racy conversations and continued on to better things with g'ma. Right now, I'm dreading having to get up for work in the morning. I need to get this project out before the guy I'm working with leaves (today was technically his last day), so I'm going in on Saturday morning at 7am.
Something is bothering me.
I noticed recently that I used to have several wonderful people in my life, and now, not so much. The main people are still there, even if they aren't there. I'm big on friendships. I, as I have stated before, put my all into my friendships, and try to be the best friend anyone could ask for. I dislike when I feel like to some people only want to be my friend when they are bored. That is kind of shallow, at least from my point of view. My friends are my life, I love them very much (in the weird non sexual way).
Anywho, just a litle insight into my mind at the moment.
Later Days.

Four Score and Seven Years.....
This weekend already started out decent. Worked on a TV that was free. Good stuff, it works fine now, with the exception of a down channel button thats a bit hard to push. Tomorrow (later today) I am going down with my pops to see my grandfather. He's in the hospital. For those of you who have heard the story with my grandparents, you know how much I am looking forward to this. Wish me luck. I'm only going so they can't gang up on pops. I'm a dick, so that will come in handy if needed, but hopefully it won't come to that. Hey Dave T., If you're reading this, what was the name of the guy you knew at LVC? I want to ask the wee ones in Lebanon if they know him. I'm off to bed to rest up for what could be a very exhusting day. Anyone want to hang out Friday night? Give me a ring a ding, I am looking for something fun to do. I'd like to hang out with Steph, haven't seen her in a while, and I'd like to watch more Friends. Something that hit me as true, but not in the context it was given.
G'night.

Now she sleeps the days away
She helplessly stands by

No one ever knew she was so sad." - DT

If I Died Tomorrow I'd be Alright......
No, I'm not suicidal. Yes I know I will die. Moving on.... The weekend turned out much better than expected. Friday was just cool. I've been in a nasty mood recenlty, and I'm not sure why. I'll figure it out soon, hopefully, I think school will cheer me up (yeah never heard that before I'm sure). Saturday practice was excellent. Then when I got home and the snow started throwing its 4 inch temper tantrum, I stayed in, but did get to talk to an old friend I haven't seen in a very long time. She's cute. She lives in the city and works at the marathon grill (Doug, remember that place we walked by on Market street and there was some crazy party we walked up to, but decided at once to go away from, she works there). I'll have to see her while I'm down in the city, shes so funny. She's also very pretty, I don't remmeber her looking that good. Shes also 4 foot nothing, meh, she wears it well. Sunday, I caulked the wagon and floated to work (a little Oregon Trail lingo there), where I was told the raise I was evaluated for was null and void because they put the wrong date down. Justin Popped in, that was nice. APparently I was jealous because Stephanie got a hug and I didn't. I was all broke up, let me tell you. Then I relaxed with Justion and Stephanie after work, and went home to sleep for today. Now I'm here, and rearing to go and get through this week, 1 down 10 more to go. Overall weekend rating: C+. Ahhh, the sound of sweet jelly in the trees.

Alrighty then....
Welcome to the first day of classes, or in my case the midterm of my tenure at this job.
In just 10 weeks I will be leaving again! Claiming my rightful space under Doug.
"Drumset in Dorm"
This weekend was interesting. Let's see, Friday night I went to see that movie about gay cowboys. God that sucked. No I'm not gay, I'm just confortable enough with my sexuality to watch a gay softcore porn, which is what it turned out to be. Went to bed at 3am. Saturday, got up at 615am, and started my trek to Lebanon. Got through almost the entire show now, and well into part threes drill. Good stuff, got home about 630pm or so. Went to see Jen Smith, and give her that weird "it feels alive" thingy. She liked it. Then, called Stephanie (per her orders), and picked her up. Then she came over and we argued over which movie to watch, and the final consensus was that we'd both fall asleep so it didn't really matter what movie we watched. Instead, I put in Friends, and fell asleep before the first episode was over, I woke up to my alarm at 10am Sunday morning with a Stephanie Jeanne lying next to me, sleeping ever so diligintly. Sunday consisted of Working with the staff from retardville. Here's something I noticed: I worked with Lisa in the back. She did better than Jane did. Somethings wrong there. Jane, do work when you clock in, I know you have potential. I talked to Maria a bit before she left, and well, MAria doesn't like Jane, so Jane was facing unemployment right before Maria left. Fortunatly, Gerri and I told her that would be mean, you can't just fire her for no reason, now I find I may put my foot in my mouth. We should have let her get fired, but then again, I have some morals. Funny enough, Jane probably has no idea about this conversation, and I'd like to keep it that way. Something else I noticed: People like to talk shit behind everyones back. Shut the hell up, the people you were talkng about are decent people. I could understand if they were assholes, but they are decent people. I am getting a might angry, about this double faced shit everyone pulls. I guess I really am the only one there who won't talk shit behind you're back. I'll tell you exactly how I feel to your face, its not about me being arrogant or asinine or a prick, but more so of me being respectful. You want to know how someone feels about you, you should be able to just walk up and ask, not have to hear fourth hand from everyone else at work. I think Justin, Kara, and a few very select others are like myself, and do not talk about others behind their backs. After work Sunday, I went to Trenton to go bowling. That was fun, I did decent. Then we went home, went out to dinner at edington house, and I went home, played some Prince of Persia, and went to bed, WITH my new alarm clock set.
Now I'm here. I'll Post more later, and probably a piece of music, and an update on the Application thread. Keep you're eyes peeled!

"Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream...."

What the floggernut!?
Things rushing in my mind at the moment.
-I've done stupid, sneaky, messed up, shitfaced, dumbassed, prickish, asinine things in my day, but never have I ever hit a women. I've only known one person who hit women, and I took him out, that fat bastard, when he gets out, he'll try to find me, crazy fucker. Who the fuck must you thinik you are to break the respect boundary and hit a women.
-My chin itches.
-It's only 4 hours away, but yet something will change.
-Wood river has had enough of me.
-This bozo doll is deflating.
-'m feeling a bit irate. I feel like a women coming on her period. Everything agitates me.
-A recording studio, I'm a little excited.
-My hand is swollen, and I can't get my watch on. Damn.
-Missed you there, everyone was asking for you.
-Thomas the wonder-weasel? Yeah, I can't wait either. You just like my drippings. *slurp
-Fuck I'm dumb, I left my arch. drawing of the third floor bathroom in the scanner. I hope it's still there in the morning.
-The dark prince's chain is cool, I like it.
-Today I was actually happy I can read lips. People don't expect you to be able to WATCH a conversation. Saw some Interesting shit tonight though.
-Friends is a good show, I can relate to some of their circumstances, and yet they always end on a happy funny note. Maybe I will start doing the same.
-Living with doug was good, we were always there to lighten each others moods, not that we aren't now, its just not as immediate. I could always count on going to sleep happy, whether it be a witty comment, or laughable joke. I could always count on "Always look on the bright side of life" every morning. A close friend you are, and I thank you.
-I'll touch on it later, when I can actually think about it.
Thats it for now. one more thing though, when you go back and read this later, which is afterall what it is for, read below:
Tom,
Remember, life is good, no matter how bad it seems, you're alive. If you're an open book, noone wants to know you, if you're a closed book, noone cares about you, but if you are the book that opens to the table of contents, you make friends.
Good Luck,
Tom

You know its a holiday at wood river if...
10. All of the staff is smiling and in a good mood, even Tim.
9. Lauren is not PMSing, well, not THAT much.
8. Paul shows up to work in street clothes after requesting off, and not getting paid to kiss the manager on duties ass.
7. There is wine.
6. The residents drink the wine like its water.
5. Its slow enough I can cut my finger and bleed all over the bread pudding, and then wash and wrap the wound before tending to my sidework, and still get done before most people.
4. I'm asked to stay an extra half hour to sign a raise sheet and a performance evaluation, ON A HOLIDAY!
3. Gary breaks his angel like charisma, and tells everyone to pretend to do sidework, but instead go home on time.
2. Paul hugs gary.......over and over and over again.
The number one reason you know it's a holiday at Wood River........
1. It's slow enough to toss oranges in the salad bar from spoon to spoon, like a game, and be finished before most people(not that it was done, but it COULD be).
No wood river employees were harmed in the making of this list.

The Party = Over.
Welcome to 2006 everyone. Hope everyones turn of the year was splendid, I know mine was. Fun people, games, and of course, we played music, improvised actually. Nothing beats live music. It made me miss playing with our group, but I believe a gig is being set for february, around Valentines day or so. We get studio time (finally!) this month! Come to think of it, I forgot to tell Doug, I was excited, just slipped my mind (whoa, tangent). Fun had by all on New Years though, I hope.
Let's see, my mind is whirling today, probably because I'm tired.
Well, first off, I had a small party gathering type of sorts here on new years, and it wasfun, at least I had fun, we cooked homemade cheese steaks (both beef and chicken), fries and pizza rolls, and ordered chicken wings. Soda, no beer. Had a max of 19 people, and a miniumum of 8 throughout the night. Yeah I broke that down into statistics, and I'm not sure why. I did miss a few persons though, for one, Jen Smith, and my cousin Ryan didn't come either. We went through 28 beef steaks, 14 chicken steaks, 19 rolls, about 120 chicken wings and 2.5 cases of soda. Two botles of sparkling shit, cookies, brownies, candy, nuts, and taco dip. The first person went to sleep at 430am, and I ended up hitting the hay around 7am. Woke up at 1pm and slugged around all night, until I took stephanie home, which leads to another thought, but I'll touch on that later! Then, we put the downstairs back together, and vegged in front of the tv and ate ice cream all night, until about 230am when we decided to sleep again. Today consisted alot of talking on the radio and cleaning. Now I think i will check out some of these movies my parents got. I also think i'm going to try to post a quote at the end ofevery post, let's see how it goes. It may be how I'm feeling, something funny I heard, something bothering me, an insight into life, or simply just something I have playing at the time.
It's funny, you look back on your life, and realize, hindsight is once again 20/20, but more importantly, for having foresight way below 20/20, you didn't do so bad. Some more input there, I thought I'd add. Well, I'm sure I'll post more today or at the latest tomorrow, but my mind seems to have slowed quite a bit. I'll be posting another wood river top ten list tonight I believe. Also, please post in my comment space here how your new years went down, I'm interested. Go!
Until then, Happy holidays.
