It is really sad when your excited as i am about new boxers. I have had most of the boxers i wear for a really long time now. Anyways today i bought a bunch of new boxers. It is really awesome because they are all boxers with a button. Whoever makes boxers without a button is dumb. The only possible reason for now button is for girls to buy the boxers and wear them. All guys i know want a button because otherwise they all fall out. Which is really annoying and hard to fix in public. Anyways I have cool new boxers and I am going to feel like a pimp when i wear them.

I got a evil e-mail today and now i get to reflect apon my life again. Seeing what could have been done different here and there. Arrrgg oh well at least i have alot to keep me busy right now. You ever think the people that just pop out of the past have any clue how much there little question or thought can mess with your head.

I am currently obsessed with all things Kevin Smith. Also I am doing alot of ink drawing lately. Snoochie Boochies..... hahaha BONG!

I feel so much less productive during the school year. I was working at work, on projects, and doing stuff during the summer. Now since i hate my homework so much i sit around with my free time not wanting to work on anything because if i am working on something it should be homework. I never want to work on homework so it all is finished sloppily and at the last minute. I had a bunch of free time today that i could have worked on my chat bot, art, or anything. Instead i chatted slowly did a bit of work, took a nap, and wrote e-mails. So school you suck the life out of me and i hate you for it.

Drinking and 9:30 am classes dont mix well im tired. It was a sweet wendsday though. After finishing up a tedious class and getting lunch I feel alot better. One class left and it is hoe sweet home. Also i get freedom when i get home. Today is shaping up to be a good day. I have run into a bunch of friends around campus. I talked to this girl that i am kind of into and she seemed into me as well. We have fun plans set for tonight so I am looking forward to that. There is a party coming up tomorrow night that should be a good time. Anyways All is going well except the fact that I am starting to get real homework assignments. One that will take time and effort. Also I need to start going to work and actually working again which is never any fun.

So currently I am kinda into three girls. Talking to each of them hanging out and making tentative plans. So since things are seeming to go well I am sure certain doom is soon to follow. Lets predict how I will screw it up all 3 of the prospects.

A) They all find my blog and read this and get angry.
B) I invite all three of them out the same night. Bring all three of them to dinner in make them compeat in a dating game style question session and when I pick the winner they all tell me to go to hell.
C) I go to a party with one of them, get drunk make an ass of myself. That girl takes off. I am angry so I call one of the other girls to make myself feel better, she realizes it is a drunk dial and I slur myself out of 2 girls in one night.
D) They meet my roommates and they tell horrible and embarrasing stories about me.
E) I just decide none of them are for me and quit talking to them all.
F) They find out that sometimes i stay in to program for fun.
G) In a confused rage I assume they are all vampire zombies and drive stakes through their hearts, so as to not also become a vampire zombie.

Anyone else care to venture a guess to the demise of my current dating attempts? Any suggestions? Should I know tell them about my imaginary friend?
Leave a comment and let me hear what you think.

It is amazing how fast everything can change. The world is moving faster than you can ever be aware... So if you are up or down just be ready for that to change any time for any reason. This isn't a good or a bad thing, just part of life. It seems so much has been happening around me, marriages, new relationships, break ups, classes, friends, fear, happiness, and confusion. If you asked me what i wanted 2 or 3 weeks ago i could have given you an exact description with dates and all of the dream of what would happen. Now i couldn't say that is what i want and I would even move away from that dream towards something else. Is this good? I dont know, but sometimes you just have to wait things out and see what turns up at the end.

I am headed into the dark and mysterious.
Hand me a light for a may be lost.
I feel afaid of what I may find.
I know what I walk away from behind me.
Still I head towards the unknown instead of towards the familiar.
So anything you may know.
Anything you may have seen.
May help me along my way.
As I head into the dark and unknown future.

Yes today I had a new experience. I was actually hit by a car. Hmmm I must be alright if I am typing and such. I am fine i will say that first. I was walking to class this morning down a small street. Another small street crossed this street. The car had a stop sign and came to a full stop right as i started crossing that street. He looked both ways saw no cars and started to turn out onto the road. I was about at the middle of his car when it started coming at me. I put out my hands on top of the trucks hood. It kept coming so i pushed myself up on the hood and rolled off the side. After I fell of the side of the hood safely out of the way of the vehicle. (On my feet still in stride I rule.) I looked back with that WTF look on my face. The guy opened his truck door and was like, "I am so sorry I totally didn't see you are you all right. I am sorry you sure your ok." I was fine told him so and kept walking. I was mostly in a little shock of what actually just happened. Admittedly the car was moving slowly and just starting but still I haven't ever really been hit by a car. So that was the exceting moment for my day. So Yeaaa I think I am supposed to have a new found respect for life. Instead I just hate homework more than I did yesterday.

ROCK ON!

Everyone who wants to commit small petty crimes should move to boulder. This man was released again after his 176th arrest only to be arrested the next day for the 177th time. I swear did anyone look at this guys arrest sheet...

Well I guess once a year everyone will remember how they were feeling as they thought about the events going on. The anger the fear. I have thought alot about it. Scary stuff. Anyways I am sure i will think about it once in awhile through out my life. I still dont know any easy answers, perhaps we never will. I hope one day everyone can live with out fears of being killed.

I hate dating. I know it is supposed to be fun. That great time when you get to know someone, do fun things, have first kisses and such. I just wish that you could skip past it into a strong relationship. So here is why i hate to date:
1)It is a game, there are wierd rules and I dont understand them.
a) If i have a friend someone that i am comfortable with and I feel like hanging out I call them. If i am dating someone and I want to see them I have to wait so many days since last seeing them or calling them. Why I dont know but it is a rule.
2) You can't really open up or be yourself on a date, your trying to see what the other person does and doesn't like and do things that will make them like you. Everything you say or do your second guessing. Jokes you would normally make you wondering if they are to innoproriate. Since they don't really know you yet.
3) there has to be some activity for awhile. When your first dating you have to go do this or go do that. You can't just hang out like friends do. You can't just be together like people are after they are in a relationship for awhile.
4) After a date you have to say if it went well or bad. I usually after hanging out with friends was like that was fun. After a date you have to see if it was fun enough to try to do something again.
5) I think to much. During dates, after dates, and between dates my mind is going over a hundred things of what should and shouldn't be done. If i did this right or wrong. I begin to judge myself on things i have never questioned about who i am.
6) There isn't any spontanity. You have to call ahead make plans and blah blah blah. I want to roll by hang out. have them do the same.
7) It is like war and both sides are trying to figure out how to win.
8) Most women don't trust men, and most men don't trust women. This puts the entire evening in a bizarre what does this mean when they do that. What do they want?

Perhaps i need to learn to relax more. I should take sedatives before going out on dates. "Hi I am hear for a date, but i can't drive because i shouldn't operate heavy machinery."

My solution: pre arranged marriages. We should bring them back with a vengence. I mean the goverment should just take over. Then they roll dice and whom ever you end up with your married. Or they could bargin out good marriages in the interests of foriegn policy. Such as the french currently hate us. Give their Prime minister Cameron Diaz.

Maybe it isn't such a good idea, but there has to be a better system than how it works out now. divorce is over 50%. I don't think our current matching methods work so well.

I really need to buy:

Donny Darko DVD
Nose hair trimmer
A Life
Electric Scooter
Production Company
A perfect Sidekick
Time
Sand paper
Quality Alcohol
and A nice good meal

Well today Dom and I took my car in to have the oil changed and such. They kept coming out and asking me things like, "Would you like a new air filter? How about we replace your missing back wiper blade? You are at 30,000 miles would you like your Subaru recommended check and fuel changes?" I was glad that Dom was there with me cause i wouldn't have known how to answer any of the questions. I just beat my fists on my chest and Dom would answer for me. I have a feeling that one day a mechanic is going to take me for alot of money. The good news about this is that eventually a friend will point out that i was taken in for. I will then hunt down said mechanic and make his life a living hell. I guess i could just learn something about cars so i would know what was fair and what wasn't but i just dont think i will ever care about cars.

Our movie Dead Awake is now the number one result when you search dead awake on google. That is really cool seeing as there is some real movie called dead awake. I am excited because that means people might actually find my movie on Google and watch it. Anyways I just got a bunch of bandwidth and I am prepairing to launch my movie on Fark and see how many downloads we can get in a day. I am guessing a few hundred. It should be exciting to have our 15 minutes of fame.

Well Steve turned 21 so we took him out to the bars. Apparently monday isn't a hopping night at the bars so things were pretty dead. We got him good and drunk. Then got him safely home. Then I had to stay up and make sure he didnt choke on his own vomit until about 5am. Yeaaaa Steve. I am proud to say that i have never rolled around puking in our back yard. This is something steve has accomplished twice. hehe Anyways it was a good time and we all had fun. So happy birthday steve. It also rules because now i have another person i could go to bars with. I wonder if i will ever really get into the whole bar scene. I like my house parties.

Oddly enough my parents still hold the title of best night at the bars ever. Shawn was there as well anyways it was a good time. We will see how long it takes before someone takes my parents bar title away.

I thought it was odd while i was walking through the physics lab and saw signs that said radio active material. Then there was little flags labeling the pieces. Surrounding all the pieces was some wierd looking bricks. Apparently to protect the room from their rays. I found it disturbing that a room i have been in and out of for two years apparently has open samples of radioactive materials laying around. That they are apparently dangerous enough to block off a little bit from the room. It seems to me that you could put them in a office protected so that students at least have to check them out and they are properly stored. I am sure a tiny amount of exposure isn't bad, but lets say someone just steals the materials. Then grinds it up and puts it in someones drink. In their bed. Or in their food. I am sure this would be a bad thing. Perhaps i am the only evil genius running around thinking about how i could misuse anything and everything. I kind of doubt it though. Anyways, if you ever have a friend laugh and say, "Ha now you have cancer!" You can probably sue a local college for providing the materials. hehe

I am really really dumb sometimes. Today while shopping with Dominic i said, "you know when you shower in the refrigerator, wait not refrigerator, whats that thing called that you shower in?" Dom says, "um a shower." I respond, "Yeah you shower in a shower, wow what was i thinking."

Ok i just used my nose hair trimmer for the first time. It was kind of scary putting a cutting device up my nose. Then when turned on I learned it is actually a torture device. While not painful at all. I could barely force myself through using it. I think a nose hair trimmer is actually the best tickling device ever. I started to laugh, but it was that kind of tickle that makes you feel like your going to die. So i survived yet another day of my hairy existence.

I have always said that when i am bored it is a dangerous thing. Of course i could be working on homework or my real website. I could be editing funny clips of video. I could work on my art. No instead today I made scott into a women. What a women he is. hehe So if you ever wondered what my roommate scott would look like as a girl, well here you are.

Yeah I am sorry you all had to see that, but now you know the crazy things that pop in my head when i am bored. Poker night starts soon so i shouldn't be to bored for long.

Well The gamits concert was awesome last night. It was good music, and good fun. Dom and I ran around hitting on and getting hit on by girls. Dom wing manned me really well on this girl i thought was cute, but she turned out to be 17 so i was like, "I am sorry you seem really cool, but i feel creepy hitting on a 17 year old." At the end of the show she came over and gave me a hug. It was nice and cute. There was two other girls we were talking to for awhile that also turned out to be high schooler's so we ran away. Then we talked with a couple college girls and had a good time.

The gamits played a bunch of new songs and i guess have a new cd coming out soon. They also played old favorites like sorry song and last of the mullets. I was happy to hear them and moshed as best i could. The problem was this show started at like 7 and went till about 1:30. Seriously there was two bands in the middle where i was just about to go to sleep. It was a long show to be a night show.

I got to enjoy my ability to buy over priced drinks at punk shows again. Dom and I shared a $8 dollar long island. It wasn't even that strong. I was pissed about the 8 dollar tab, but i didnt care that much. I also got to see Adventures of Jet (might be spelled wrong). They are really good, imagine The hippos crossed with tom petty (as discribed by dominic). They put on a great show the lead singer/keyboard player has so much energy on stage it is sweet. Very nice to see a man head bang while jamming out on a keyboard.

Today was a slow and relaxing day. I got some more people on the new years trip (we currently have 15 people). Then i cleaned, did laundry, worked on art, messed around on my computer, and just chilled. It was nice to kinda kick back and do nothing.

Last night i went to ft collins. It was a good time. I went to Dom's friends party for awhile played a bunch of drinking games and then Matt and Jesse came and picked me up. We went to some bars and chatted and got some food. Nothing big nothing that special but it was a fun time and good to sit around and talk with them.

Well last night i tried to go to bed around 12:30. I found myself still lying there aorund 2. It sucks when you can't turn your head off. from 12:30 till 2 i was coming up with dumb movie ideas. None all the impressive infact some were horrible. I did jot a couple of them down that i thought were a little interesting. So today i have been really tired. Went to class, went to work, class, and work. I am waiting to find out if i have a meeting so I can go home and hopefully take a nap.

Well I tried to get my movie on Fark. I figured that after posting a couple of my various links that i had a pretty good chance. Turns out that no no i do not. I can't even resubmit just hoping some tool looked and canceled the submision right away. I know they have multiple reviewers. From the bandwidth it doesnt even look like 1 person downloaded the movie. so I have about 120Gb of bandwidth to burn off in a week. I am submitting my film to tons of other high traffic sites like mad hoping i will take a big bandwidth hit but it looks like not much will happen. In a couple days i will post some amusing clips and songs on the servers and submit it to a couple of the big sites that will enjoy the dumb humor. From the dumb videos i can link my site, and my movie and probably get about 15 hits on my stuff and a ton of traffic downloading dumb video like scott getting shot with the paint ball gun. Screw Fark for causing me $50 for bandwidth and not even getting people to view my movie.

I am kinda in another anti social mode. I tend not to want to clean up (shave) or call people or go out where i have to be really social. Who knows what prompted it or how long it will last, but i need to try to keep my social thing in high gear until meeting the perfect girl (Ala Amanda Peet (fav of the day)). It is ok cause i am getting some art done, catching up in school, and some other stuff.

I think i need to play more video games.

Seriously i am sick of the big media companies. The MPAA and RIAA and the companies that support them are crap. The music industry makes way to much money. They are pissed because they can't keep their insane profit growth that they have managed to maintain for like 20 years (growth before that was small). I think companies have to recognize that in large growth industries eventually you run out of room to grow. After making 40 billion a year the music industry is looking at how to suck 45 billion out of the people during a slow economy. They can suck it and to bad for them to not realize the new digital distribution. To bad they never payed attention to internet radio instead they are trying to kill it off with huge royalties. If they would have had $.65 or .99 cent songs for download and free internet radio that was good, they wouldn't have to worry about all the trading and stealing so much.

This is really a continuation of a rant i started over on Wasted Brains. So read that as well to get the whole picture.

The movie industry learned a little bit from the music industries problem. They have responded a little faster and before digital movies have really taken hold. They are still ignorant when it comes to profit margins. Let me explain. You can rent a brand new DVD at block buster for 5 bucks. This is probably the most expensive to rent but closest to you (grocery stores are like 2 or 3 bucks). This gives you the movie for a day or two in the highest quality format available really. The online solution from the major movie studios is movielink. Movie link provides highly compressed (lower quality) downloads that you can watch from your computer that take about 2 hours to download (compared to a 5 maybe 10 min drive to Blockbuster). The cost 6 dollars.

what wait a minute? Does it cost more? Yes with a lower quality video, 2 hour wait, and no cost for the medium (Packaging, shipping, DVD) this method of rental costs more. The movie industry is brilliant charge higher prices for an entirely lower quality experience. While their at it I think i should just send them my monthly paycheck and have them slowly posion me to death... Well i guess at least their not the tobacco industry... hehe

Seriously make music and movies make sense and you will get my money. I buy used DVDs for 10 bucks a pop cause it is so expensive to rent now. Give me 2 or 3 dollar online movie rentals 99 cents a song or 9 bucks a albulm downloads and your going to get my cash.

Well tonight we (our house) are going to dinner at dom's ex girlfriends place. I think that is a little odd, but i get free food. I am excited about all the free food possibilities. Also we are going to have some wine so that should make it interesting. Also since she seems to have sex on the brain right now that could make the evening even more interesting. So sweet food, wine, and sex.

Tonight is supposed to be the first ever hill party crash night. We all had forgotten how many people and parties were on the hill. So we are going to get red cups and some flasks and just walk around and walk into different parties. We will see how it works out. It should be alot of site seeing (random hot girls walking around in tiny clothing. My personal favorite is the skirt that is as large as a belt. I doubt i will drink to much tonight though cause i have to do some homework in the morning and i have stuff to take care of tomorrow.

Alright where to begin. Well first off the dinner at Vickie's turned out to be alot of fun. Lots of laughing, wine drinking, and innappropriate comments. I enjoyied it all. Plus we got fre food and all of the free food was really good.

The hill party crash night part didn't work out so well. Thursdays are supposed to be off the wall party nights. But apparently not that thursday. Nothing was really going on. We went into one small party and didn't really stay long. So mostly we just walked around the hill and then went back home.

At home we continued the evening with some drinking games. Which was fun. Then Dom and I went running around the neighborhood and messing around in the park. Then 3 guys tried to jump us in the park. All yelling threatening us, but we had no money on us anyways. After letting them talk shit for awhile and calming them down we left after a, "Get the fuck out of here." No injuries, no problems, and everyone wins. They think they freaked out a couple kids, I feel we walked away with no loss from some drunk angry guys.

Concert night. Went to see Yellow Card and some other punk bands. Got there a little late and missed a bunch of yellow cards set. If you like punk and are looking for something new check out Yellow card. They are a punk band with an electric fiddle, how cool is that.(they also put on one hell of a show, energy man.) One of the bands couldn't make it so the show ended early. So we got back and Dom, Brent, and myself watched a movie.

Then as per usual i couldn't fall asleep. That is because i need the perfect temperature to sleep. It was to cold for just a sheet. To hot for just the comforter. So i turned on a fan and it was just right. Of course i woke up 4 hours later shivering because my room had become freezing. I figure someone out there has to find perfect temperatures to sleep in and it might as well be me.

I hate this new style of movie that is incredibly popular right now. Such as Meet the parents, The bosses daughter, and anger management. I hate these movies where they show everything possible that could go wrong does. This movie just makes me want to explode. I really want to kick people right now because i am watching anger management for the first time.
